top 25 for todays tournament with 470 playersmisty kids in shambles
>>56844812>that top 8>blaine.dek fourth Lol
4 diamond cards are too rare. I have no seen Victreebel fucking anywhere
For people responding to >>56844802>>56844813>>56844811Sorry, I meant I finally dusted 1 Garde since she fucked only showed up in ONE reroll account out of like 45. Her rates are mega fucked and I refuse to believe after 180 cards worth of packs that she is this hard to get normally.
>>56844823>5/8 top 8 pikachu>>56844812>6/8 top 8 pikachuT-totally not a t0 format
>>56844812WeezKING top 20!
>>56844838>.357% on the 4th card>1.428% on the 5th card>~2% per pack>why did I only get one in 36 packsMathlet
>>56844855Fuck me I laughed and spat a little blood
https://streamable.com/czu5b5 (embed)Can some professional tell me what the best deck here is , the rare cards are 1x
>>56844838Did you look at the rates? She's in a 5% pool, and is only a 0.357% chance. Gardevoir is as rare as non-EX Mewtwo (and Ditto, funny enough). Meanwhile, in the zard packs, Sabrina is in a 90% pool at a 2.571% chance.In this case, just stick with Mewtwo packs and build up dust. If you get Gardevoir, dust a Sabrina or two. I ended up dusting my second Gardevoir too, and I'm sure many others share the pain.

>>56844812What's the rules for the vpnx
>>56844812>>56844816dog shit OP bro. who gives a fuck about this tourney slop?
>>56844890i do
Hey, anon who missed 2 Articuno EX wonder picks yesterday because they were in the bottom right AND got a Starmie EX on the bottom right in a third wonder pick.I got a Pikachu EX on my wonder pick today.Guess where he was?I'm just always doing bottom right now.Let me be clear.THE LAST 4 EX CARDS IN MY WONDER PICKS HAVE ALL BEEN IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT.It's significant enough for me to think there might be some kind of mathematical bias for them to end up in that spot.Like seriously, 4 times in a row.Proof.
>>56844838I couldn’t find any Gardevoir until I bought her then I pulled 3 in like the next 10 packs I opened (and in German)Pic rel, do you want to get pissshatten on?
>>56844837The game def selects certain less rare cards to be “unfindable” on your account, as a way to limit your ability to complete everything. I am missing only the regular mewtwo card, and I have 5 mewtwo EX’s and 2 full art mewtwo EX’s.Victreebell was another I had to buy at the end, along with regular machamp.
>>56844874>starting tommorow even more people will be doing the 18 trainer bullshit Cool...
>>56844918who cares? that deck is weak af
>>56844866Actually kinda surprising that Nintales Rapidash placed higher than Gardevoir Mewtwo.
>>56844874>tcg kills rainbows because everyone hates them
>>56844929Could be bracket luck
>>56844874that post is just a translated blogspot of someone running assumptions based off the datamined assetsthe only thing that came from the game files is dates of things and visual assets, everything else is just a random person running assumptions off of it
>>56844942This seems to imply it actually has a good matchup against pikachu which makes sense. Blaine+ninetails OHKOs pikachu >can't attached imageOK well check for yourself from the link in the OP
>>56844874>vs the CPU with increasing difficulty, reward is the Promo LaprasI started with Pikachu packs this will be easy unless it starts with misty
I just started playing. Should I reroll until I get one Ex Pokemon? Two ex Pokemon? Three?
>>56844975Reroll until you get several high rarity cards you want. For reference, pic related are fullarts and EXs that you always open in your first pack/wonder pick. So keep that in mind when planning your rerolls. You should aim to build at least one fully functional deck
What's the most fun variant of Venusaur Ex to actually play, Exeggutor Ex? Lilligant? This post is just out of curiosity, I know it's not a top tier deck so save your breath
>Want to build an omastar deck>game gives me the entire pikachu deck complete with the gaudy golden zapdos>No cards to make anything else functional besides that deck>still haven't pulled a single omastarfuck you game I don't want to be a sweaty tryhard. You can't make me!
>>56844975>>56844975>I just started playing. Should I reroll until I get one Ex Pokemon? Two ex Pokemon? ThreeDo pic rel first. then do all of the solo battles. You should have around 20 to 25 packs or so. You should focus on one booster pack until you can make the deck you want and use your first wonder picks to fill in your deck with missing Ex mons.
Are you guys burning pack hourglasses now or saving them for potentially the next batch of cards
>>56844982>arcanine is the worst EX card>blastoise is the worst starter EXgrim
>>56844986Lilligant IMO. Egg is probably objectively better though
>>56844987I have this. I'm missing a 2nd omastar and a better staller for omastar.
>>56845005Thank you
>>56844987Are you meThey need to configure balance more A jigglypuff against EX t1 is horseshit
>>56844986fun or good?fun probably Butterfreegood? pic
>>56844986I like my Weezing variant of the deck.
>>56844987>use all beginner rolls and hourglasses on Mewtwo pack>get crown Mewtwo, every 1 star besides Porygon, almost everything I need for the Mewtwo deck, 3 total Mewtwo ex, and 5 of the goddamn full art Pidgeot>1 ralts, 0 Giovanni
>>56845024why do japanese people think goofy 3D looks better than good 2D art?
fuck... shiny packs when?
Very true many such cases
>>56845064Because it does
>>56845028D O G A R S DOGARS. Koffing just got another top 32. Jobbed to the usual suspect. Another 5/8 pikachu decks in top 8
Gengarbros... our boy was OU for seven generations straight. Why'd they make him a cuck here?
>>56845085Gengar needs a break sometimes man. Give him time he will come back
>>56845085His Ability is ripe for absolutely buttfucking a future meta. Just give him time
This deck is really good outside of a somewhat bad pikachu match up. I feel favored vs every other deck I've played against, going to enter a tournament with it soon.
Oh wow so you spent more money than me you’re SOOO tough and badass.
Can someone please verify if the display quality difference is even noticeable? Some of the cards look higher def and shaper to me
>he doesn't have moneyLol? How do you have the internet that you're using to post, are you mooching off of your mom
What is the worst type at the moment and why is it Fighting?
>finish my charizard deck>go to play it>ten games in a row without drawing my CharmeleonDoes it get better bros?
>>56845116>are you mooching off of your momYeah
>>56845064Japan has always had awful taste
>>56845099>really good>loses to pikachu, mewtwo, starmie, venusaur, charizardif you cannot perform against the top decks then you cannot really consider a rogue deck goodlike pic is good, blaine is good because they do well against the top decks
>>56845122Well, go ask her to fund your deck then
>>56845119Dar
>>56845116I wish. I could finish my dex, then.I'm spending like $200/month on this internet since my apartment has an exclusivity contract with a single ISP at hiked rates.
i dont care if its meta or not, im never gonna use a pikashit card or deck
>>56845120>he didn't take the basic pokémon pill >didn't at least cope on StarmieOh no no no no
>>56845119Because steel only has 3 lines right now and none are good
>>56845119metal and dragon are in worst shape atmand fighting is prob on par even dark and water
>>56845135>I'm spending like $200/month on this internet since my apartment has an exclusivity contract with a single ISP at hiked rates.What the hell. Do you live in America, that sounds like the only place that this could be legal
>>56845135Do you have a space you could set up a Starlink antenna where it would get an unobstructed view of the sky?
>>56845120do you have your deck properly built?
I feel bad for underrating Zebstrika at first. That 30 damage directed at any target for a single energy is awesome paired with pika because the rat’s big numbers aren’t really that big. Softening up bench mon / finishing them off is very helpful.
>>56845127i only lose consistently to pika in testing vs meta decks.
>>56845120Don't feel bad, all of the decks in the game can brick right now, there's no surefire consistent deck
>>56845120>second stage mons are always stuck at the bottom of the deck
>>56845159what your call "meta decks" are just poorly built archetypes you find in random matchmakingif you play against properly built decks with good players you will get rolled with that deck
>>56845135Maybe moving out to a place with better internet might be cheaper in the long run.
>>56845166im testing with other players with meta decks in private lobbies. posting about it here because i thought people would be interested, ive been working on it for 5 days now.
>>56845116Where do you think you are
>>56845135I'm sorry for making fun of you, that's fucked. What's the ISP?
Anyone here dropped red card completely?
>>56845099Post name so we can track results of you failing to get out of swiss
>>56845175... bropikachu rolls youboth charizard and mewtwo 1 shot you without you being able to 1 shot them and have the same curvevenusaur overheals anything you throw at him and shits on youstarmie rolls you just as hard as pikachu, even harder if they flip a heads on a single mistysure, you flipping 2 heads changes things, but if you claim your deck is good for the 25% of times you flip 2 heads you are an idiot
>>56845159>I only lost to the most common deck in a tournament setting Bro. You aren't getting out of pools. I hope you do but come on man
What do you want out of ranked mode?
>>56845142>on par with water and darkWhere's Fighting variant of Starmie EX and Weezing?
>>56845186the only deck i do not run red card is pikachu but it is mostly due to deck spacebut i run 1 red card in all other decks
>>56845099You really are a bit helpless against pika if it gets the full bench. Of course, you might be able to clear out members of the bench against some variants, but without hitmonlee, it looks like a rough time to me. On the plus side, you don’t really have to worry about pidgey’s weakness (outside of pika, himself).
>>56845135Lordy I pay 50$ for 600 MBs and live in the sticks
>>56845142dragon's fine with dragonitemetalfags have it hard but if next pack is johto then scizor/steelix/skarm/forretress will provide some relief
>>56845175You should stick to your circlejerk echo chamber. /ppg/ is not for people playing against handpicked decks.
/pocket/ sounds way better than /ppg/. thread autists are so weird.
>>56845213>dragon's fine with dragonitedragonite is shit anon... its just too slow
My uncle works for Nintendo and he says if you collect 1000 of any given full art, they will send you a physical card.
>>56845218bro your weezing/frosmoth?
I don’t get why showcases show up like this instead of just showing you the actual thing?
>>56845216pocket is already in the tittle and it's longer
>want to build Blaine deck>0 blaines and missing 1 vulpix and 2 rapidash so far>meanwhile I have alt art Moltres and 1 Zard EXFuck
>>56845216I also like /pocket/ or /tcgp/
>>56845246>tcgpi like this tookino.even the reddit is ptcgp, makes more sense than ppg
>>56845229all the pairings are shitdragonite is just too slow to the metain todays tournament of 470 players the best dragonite placement was 87thin ydays tournament of 240 players the best dragonite placement was 143thin the one from the other day with 500+ players the best placement was 145thdragonite is just too slow for the meta, having to attach 4 energy without acceleration, with random energy on top of that and your damage being completely random makes it so slow an inconsistent
>>56845197not him but wiggly Ex is pretty.good into mewtwo. if you win a single coin flip he's fucked. also you can get 3 energy before he gets 4. usually
>>56845246>>56845270kill yourself fags
>>56845277yes, this deck >>56845127is pretty good against the horde of pikachus and mewtwos
Why do so many decks run one copy of Sabrina? I am right now because I can't get another yet, but if I had two I'd run two all day
>>56845291I don't really see a reason to run more than one.
>>56845178Xfinity/comcast whatever they call themselves these days.
>>56845291Because I'd rather have an extra X-Speed most of the time.
>>56845291no room, running 2 means you wont be running something else that is importantyou dont really use more than 1 per gamehaving two in your hand sucks balls
>>56845246>>56845270The general format for generals adds a "g" at the end so it would be /ptcgpg/ which is gay.
>Ditto Chansey deck, predicted psychic>Enemy had Psychic, hooray>Mewtwo Ex on start, he goes first>Only drew both Dittos, never saw Chansey>Get 2 energy on Ditto, can use Mewtwo's 50>Mewtwo hits me for 50, evolves his benched slowpoke and plays a Mr. Mime>Sabrina'd his Mewtwo to whittle down a Mr. Mime, using his benched Slowbro's attack>Mewtwo comes out again>Gets hit for 150The player didn't accept my friend request or send thanks.
>>56845310Nerd
>>56844874>"Drop" event, PVE mode where you vs the CPU with increasing difficulty, reward is the Promo LaprasThe Lapras event actually drops something called a "Promo A pack" which likely includes ALL the blue stamp promos. So we could be getting the really good mankey tomorrow.
>>56845165>Get second stage early on>Both first stages are stuck at the bottompain
>>56845270>makes more sense than ppg>pokemon pocket general
>>56845299Well why not? At the very least it's a greater chance to draw into it.
>>56844812
>>56845306What do you mean no room? It's one of the most disruptive cards in the game right now. Why wouldn't you be able to use it twice in a game?
>>56844812Just used a deck that made me feel bad for the guy who had to face it.
>>56844823best water deck run 0 mistys
>>56845355this is pure copium there is no reason to not run misty
>>56845346>mewtwo most common deck by far>pikachu is STILL 5/8 in top 8>60% winrate>majority of the late loss was against itself>only other deck with those numbers is greninja which only had 6 entrances Holy fuck the rat is insane.
>>56845327>along your Poke Balls
>>56845346which tournament is this and what tab is this?
PI-KA-CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>56845346>>56845370This is the rats matchup spread for everything lower than 55%. It has a VERY winning matchup against EVERYTHING except slight venusaur and evidently awful against wigglytuff weezing
>>56845348no room to run two, youd have to sacrifice something important to run 2pic reland you rarely ever need 2, once you have more games under your belt you will realize you dont need two sabrinas
Is there a good tankmon to stall?
>>56845415Venusaur is THE tank. But specifically stall is weezing
>>56845355why woulddnt you run misty on a water deck? that would be stupidfree energy is free energy>>56845412forgot pic
>>56845407I never understood why they hyped up pikachu's offensive power when raichu mogged the little fuck. Surge's evolved rat was a god damn monster.
>>56845412How many wins under my belt do you presume I have exactly? I can take your word for it on the matter or can trust the deck lists that routinely top tournaments that run two copies of Sabrina. Real proven data.
>>56845186Yeah. Almost immediately. Red Card is good only sometimes. I usually go with the fossil tech now, which feel better to play most of the time.
>>56845421By now that Pikachu has probably eclipsed Surge's Raichu in terms of pure power.
>>56845244Supporter costs only 70 per card, so maybe pull some Charizard first and see if you can get a vulpix and Blaine
>>56845420This makes me want to test Hypno in the Charizard deck. Running 2 pokedex and a red card seems disgusting.
>>56844838I feel you about Gardevoir, in my case I had 2 options: wait for 3 daily packs to have enough dust to buy a second copy or luck it out and pick it. I won my bet and my Mewtwo deck is completed. I do not need to really use my hourglasses anymore (do not have any left anyways) so these daily packs for the rest of the month will be just flex. I can save my tickets for the next month and will have 140 (current) + 120 dust left to buy anything else I feel like grabbing.
>>56845438>fossil techI have been meaning to ask. Is it new fossil rules were they count as knockouts or old rules were they do not count as prize cards
>>56845452the pokedex is 100% neededto make the deck as consistent as possibleyou use the combo of dex to see whats coming and if its not useful you pokedex to shuffle your deckactually makes a difference
>>56845452>Running 2 pokedex and a red card seems disgusting.In what way
>>56845468How are you shuffling your own deck? Moltres? Are you EVER skipping attaching energies anyways?
So is Farfetch'd a good card or just copium slot until you get better pokemon?
>>56845469s-shut up!
I got an Articuno ex in french, how do I make it appear in english in the binder
>>56845473you use pokeball to shuffle
>>56845479you dontnow go collect all the other pokemon in different languages
why are all my wonderpick options so terrible?
>>56845479First you have to assess your life and ask yourself what led you down such a dark path that you would befriend a Frenchman
>>56845479qui quibrickedqui qui>>56845490add more whales lol!
>>56845468>100% needed
>>56845479When you put it in the binder during edit mode, tap the card and you'll see the flair button on the bottom right. Tap that, then tap Languages in the top right of that window. Select French, and it'll appear French after you save.
>>56845481Doesn't moltres shuffle anyways? I mean if your turbo out of position sure. I am definitely pumping this into my mewtwo deck though. Thanks for the idea
>>56845421>Surge's evolved ratwas obese and slow.
>>56845506>Doesn't moltres shuffle anyways?no it doesnt, what are you smoking
>>56845490So wonder picks are chosen at random from both your friends list and from strangers.Priority is given to packs opened by your friends.Further priority is given to packs containing rare cards.So in short, it's because the people on your friends list aren't pulling very good.As other people said, you typically want to populate your friend list with whales to maximize the number of EX wonder picks you get offered.
how did they release this game with no incentive to battle other players
>>56845501>>56845510ok so where do i find these whales?
Why would they put an ugly unloved shitmon like Bruxish in the game?
>>56845518DeNA
>>56845519Play random matches, and friend anyone with a Gardevoir playmat.
>>56845509I am very tired and am use to normal tcg energy rules. Rubbing a couple neurons together I realize just how much less shuffling the energy deck creates too
>>56845519check public galleries for people with the gardevoir cosmetics and try to befriend them
>>56845518Collecting was probably their main priority. They'll probably make events more focused on battling later on.
>>56845363>>56845420
>>56845536take out farfetch and khangaskan and add two misty and that deck is many times better already
>>56845541when you get 9-2 and the best water finish in a 500 person tournament then u can talk bud
>>56845518They know that most fans of the Pokemon care about collecting more than they care about actually playing the game.They wanted to pull in the normalfag crowd who like the arts but aren't really into the battling element.It's a smart choice.That said, the datamined update notes show signs that they're working on a ranked ladder mode with rewards.So it's about to get really fucking shit, I was really hoping this one would be different. I'm one of those normalfags, I like collecting cards and building decks but I'm not really a big fan of actually playing the game.I hate that I'm gonna be forced to play the game once they release that update so I don't miss out on rewards.
>>56845518Technically you have incentive since each win gives exp to level up. Otherwise it would really be a ghost town
I've been rerolling with everything I get before reaching Level 3, as recommended. My current account has double Mewtwo ex, Rainbow Weezing, and Rainbow Dragonite. No Trainers, no Gardevoir. I'm kind of getting tired of rerolling. Is this one worth settling for?
Yeah, Hypno is not good in the Charizard deck. You need pokeball to hit Moltres EX or you just lose. Thought it would be more like the fossil tech.
>>568455192 factors.1. Level2. CosmeticsAnyone using store-only cosmetics is probably a whale (or at least a dolphin).Anyone with a high level is either a whale or REALLY into grinding battles over and over again.
>>56845231the technology just isn't there
>>56845476-40 Damage early without needing an evo for said damage feels pretty good, at least.
>>56845546id never play a water deck in this pikachu/mewtwo meta to begin withand i placed higher than that guy in that tournament ;)
>>56845572>and i placed higher>shows no proof
>>56845572sure u did
>>56845501Does it pick their best pack to show on wonder pick?
>>56845567It definitely feels great when you go second and they don't highroll a misty, but one hand it hurts to play the birb going first
>>56845554Become a Weezing main.
Are dual type decks any fun or too inconsistent with the random energy?
>>56845505Thanks, I found the language menu but as it's my only copy it only shows french. However, I was lucky so I have nothing to complain about.
>>56845589inconsistent
>>56845575>>56845579dummys
I can't find whales, but I can make reroll accounts and add them. Can I use this to skew wonder pick to my advantage?
>>56845589>Are dual type decks any funYeah they are very fun.>inconsistentYes they are also very inconsistent.
>>56845595no proof photoshop, also that guy had 9 wins same as the water deck but more losses... yeah water guy is better than whoever that is
>>56845500Leave the man be, he really wanted his Articuno to be called "Gelato".
>>56845608bro even a shit deck can have a good run in a 9 round tournamenta few days ago an alakazam greninja deck made top 4, that doesnt mean its goodits just luck
HUH?!
>>56845620You were too shit at the game.
>>56845620Your deck forfeited when it saw your opponent had Weedle.
>>56845589Dual types are mostly for you to cover the deck weakness so it doesn't get blown out by certain matchups. Usually the secondary type can run on colorless so you can just give them the main color. For example, having Miensao in a Mewtwo deck just so you can cover against Darkness
>>56845554Gondor calls for advice
>>56845628That's the weird thing I didn't consneed. The guy's Marowak EX one-shotted my Ponyta, he got his first point point and then it said defeat. Dunno what happened.
>>56845595>every single loss was rat batRough >>56845608Greninja guy literally had a way easier swiss bracket
>>56845634If you have nothing on the field then you lose
>>56845634Did you have anything on the bench?
>>56845640>>56845641Oh, had no idea that was a rule lol. First time for me
Are there stats for winrate based on the coinflip?
>>56845644Welcome to /ppg/ you passed your first test.
>>5684565050/50, you win or you die in the game of thrones (tm, season 8 sucks)
>>56845650Yes, I have 1TB of screenshots on my phone from people missing Misty's coin-flip twice and then conceding.
>>56845554>he fell for the weezing meme
>>56845554if only you got another 5 for the QUADZ of truth... but alas...
>>56845554if you are going to turbo autismo you might as well reroll till you start with a rare pack
Do packs with all regular rares exist? e.g. dragonite, garde, etc.
>>56845420>why woulddnt you run misty on a water deck? that would be stupidBecause the card does literally nothing half of the time and you only have 20 card slots. It's great when it works, but it can cost you the game if you run two and draw + whiff them both.It's why the version that doesn't run it is ranked so much higher in that event.
what are the chances for a f2p to get all 3 cinematic cards? I just got the final pikachu and thought getting mewtwo and Charizard was like hitting the lotto
>>56845709we dunno how long the that series will be in rotation for, the longer the more chances to hit (+pack points)probably hard to hit as pure f2p though... 2.5 packs a day and the resources have dried up hard without events
>>56845709You mean the immersive rares?Getting all 3 on a F2P account would be extremely rare, they don't exactly have a high drop rate.
>>56845707You know what does nothing 70% of the time most decks run? Red card
I've been pretty careful with spending my Pack Hourglasses, should I just say fuck it and burn them all on opening 10 packs?
>>56845707>Because the card does literally nothing half of the timeyes, and the other half gives you tempo to win the gameif you go second playing starmie you have energy tempo to winif on top of that you hit a misty its ggand if you go first and you hit a misty its as if you were second, but with the added bonus that you also evolve into starmieyes, 50% does nothing, but 50% of the time wins you the game
>>56845725Might as well.
>>56845725You have like 3 months to save. Go for it.
>>56845721red card outside of tournaments where you have your opponent deck list at hand is pointless
>>56845554>as recommendedYou misunderstood, it's "ass recommended".
>>56845738Even in a tourney it is less valuable than a misty on average
>>56845719>>56845709you can wonder pick them if you want them that badly
>>56845725You get 4 hourglasses per day as the only form of 'regenerating' free reward.So you get 1 pack's worth every 3 days, 10 packs per month.That's all you'll get once you've spent all the initial rewards.Just remember that.
>>56845743yes, but you should have both
Why is this game becoming less fun the more I play it?The games are fast, it has some fun nostalgia picks, queue times are instant, I'm not being matched against the same people Yet the more I play the less I like it
>>56845755Because you're overplaying it. Take a break from the matches for a few days and just open packs.
>>56845755because the decks are all boring imo the game wont feel good to play until at least a year has passed
>>56845748I don't disagree I am disagreeing with the sperg jerking off the greninja that got an easy bracket>he was the guy who knocked out wiggly weezing tooWhat a fag
>>56845755Go build a fun deck.
>>56845755If your deck isn't fun to play you need a better deck.
>>56845755DUBS OF TRUTHBecause it's first and foremost a collecting game, maybe the pve events will spruce things up, maybe ranked mode will but right now it's just log in and collect your shit
>>56845727That's the exact issue with flippy cards. They're good when they work, but they functionally just decrease your hand size by 1 if they don't. So you're playing with 1 less card than you opponent when they fail, leaving you at a disadvantage.Red Card and Pokeball can also very easily end up a dead card. I think they'll VERY quickly fall out of use once more trainer cards are added.
Assuming expansions are every 3 months meaning 90 days>2 daily packs = 180>4 hourglass from daily rewards = 30>10 + 60 monthly shop hourglasses = 11ishWe get about 220 packs per cycleWould you consider this good?
>>56845755It's not super fun to lose because you know the archetypes of your opponent already and what coin flip would've put things in your favor. There's no sense of begrudging acceptance when your opponent gets you with something unexpected because there isn't anything unexpected. Unironically getting my shit clapped with uncommon cards feels good. I got Poliwrath locked earlier and just laughed as I got swept.
I feel like there's no good partner for Blastoise. Probably that means it's just not a good deck. You're so card and energy hungry that you really want something efficient to hold the front line. 2 energy for a golduck already feels like too much when it can easily die and waste 2 energy before you've got your blastoise ready. But it's not like Blastoise is some incredible win condition like Dragonite, stall isn't going to help.
>Playing chansey ditto with psychic>Enemy Mewtwo Ex deck, prediction success>Coin flip makes him go first>He gets Mewtwo ex on active and two Ralts on bench, all I have is Chansey.>He uses a scope to look at my hand; Sabrina, Giovanni, Oak, Oak>He concedes almost immediatelyOkay then
>>56845777I've already started cutting to 1 pokeball and 5 basics. Why would I want more than 1/3 of the cards I draw to be basics? Just in my opening hand that's already 2. I can see why some decks might want more but not mine.
>>56845783Blastoise would be ran with starmie. 2 energy is cheap and free retreat means after you get it done you tag out. Of course this is the ideal scenario but blastoise is arguably the worst ex
I just got PikaEX, what should a deck around it look like? I don't have Zapdos EX yet tho.Thanks for the help.
>>56845777its just overall goodmost matches get decided with the initial coinflip anywayslike pikachu mirror, mewtwo mirror, mewtwo-pikachu all get decided with the initial coinflio 90% of the timewith misty is like having an extra initial coinflip that just affects you, if you were first its like you were second, and if you were second its ggthere is no reason not to run something like that
>>56845794Use whatever stage 1s you have on hand, Electrode or Zebstrika are the best partnersPincurchin works too as a basic that can paralyze
>>56845783How about Mienshao?
>>56845792I know it's shit but I pulled the full deck so I need to make it work somehow. Starmie makes sense but maybe Articuno would be better, less cards required.
>>56845781I have mew with 350 packs opened, i would say its pretty good(you can add 90 packs via the premium pass too)
>>56845801I've strongly been considering it. Are you suggesting it because you've tried it? 1 energy attacker that can deal with Pikachu is tempting.
>>56845803Less cards more energy
>>56845794what electric mons do you have?
>>56845755The PTCG is already poorly designed trash that doesn't even have any interesting deck building opportunities, Pocket is just that but even more dumbed down.
>>56845781You also need to consider that it seems they will also be doing 'mini-sets' in between major expansions, which contain less cards to collect but will still need to be pulled.So if you account for that, then assume maybe a roughly 140/80 split in packs spent on main sets vs mini-sets.But generally speaking, yeah it's pretty decent. Most digital TCGs only give you enough free currency for about 2 packs per day once you add everything up (daily rewards, ranked rewards, etc). So it's about on par if maybe slightly better than usual for digital TCGs.
How do they fix the disadvantage of going first? One more card drawn?
>>56845806I swear, even if you're planning to go mostly F2P you should definitely still do the premium pass.It's such an insanely good deal on a money-packs rate. You're getting 30 packs a month for 10 bucks PLUS cosmetics.Even if you ignore the cosmetics completely, that's still 0.30 per pack, which is crazy good.
>>56845808>Are you suggesting it because you've tried it?Nope. I just thought it sounded like it would fit from your post. It doesn't leech two mana, it has a purpose while you establish your EX, that sort of thing.
>>56845808>that can deal with pikachuWell let me help. It doesn't. 80 HP is going to get one shot by the rat.
>>56845781I forgot to multiple monthly packs by 3 so we should be getting about 240ish
>>56845818let you place an energy but not let you attack? that'd also remove Articuno FTK
>>56845818you cantthe disadvantage comes from who attaches energy first and there is no way around itat best you can create more good cards that benefit from going first like Exeggcutor EX, Weezing and Rapidash
My favorite pokemon is Wurmple, I hope that it's added as a card soon.
>>56845781We get 270 packs for just logging in. That's insanely good for digital card games.
>>56845830major set 3, im 'fraid
>>56845554Double Mewtwo alone is already enough to make an account a keeper (which is good for you, because the rest of that is shit, Dragonite is a fucking noob trap that will brick you to hell)
>>56845818Stronger supporters that actually give you real momentum
>>56845828and let anyone that goes first have a turn 2 2 energy stage 1 while the opponent has basics?that would sway the advantage the other way but even harder
>>56845833>We get 270 packs for just logging inProofs?
>>568458183-game match. After the first game losers pick whether to go first or second.
>>56845844He is assuming you are oinking for pass and skipping the miniset
>>56845747Do we have all the actual math of free currency?4 hourglasses daily, for 120 a month=10 packs5 tickets daily for 150 a month70 store hourglasses=5 packs and 10 hourglassesto buy them all you need 210 ticketsThere's a need of 60 tickets from other activities like challenges monthly or you won't be able to actually purchase the free 15 monthly packs that stack with the 60 monthly packs. It all translates to 375 new cards monthly from pulls, give or take. You get that same number of pack points monthly, not enough for an EX, but enough for something like 2 stage 2 and a supporter, for example.If you include the tickets needed for the wonder pull, you need 210 extra tickets to cover for them.I'm ignoring the 12 hourglasses for leveling up, or the recharge time for wonder picks. What could I be forgetting or not properly calculating?
>>56845684Rare packs are the one with a special alt arts, right? I got one with Articuno-EX, but I rerolled because my only pokémon of note was double Articuno, and I don't really care for ArticunoIf it was Mewtwo or Gengar or Pikachu or some other pokémon that I liked, I'd have done it
>>56845844My uncle works for Nintendo.

I'm using this exact deck. Should I remove Magmar and add anything to make it more consistent? Any other changes? I can't ever win against M2 but maybe I should accept that.
>>56845875The more non-English friends you have, the more chances of their picks showing up. There's no guarantee. If you want cards in other languages though, it's easier to just open packs while playing with another language active. Click your three lines on the bottom right, select settings, scroll down to language, and pick one of the other 8 options (bottom three are Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, respectively). Any cards you get from packs, Chansey picks, and bonus picks will be in that language.
>>56845861Legitimately the best wonder pack possible rare pack I have seen
>>56845885Don't accept it as failure. Accept it as you just not having the right luck. There's an anon using Ditto and Chansey, and he's supposedly been able to dominate against meta decks. If that silliness can work, you can make Magmar and co work. Believe in yourself.

>>56845792>blastoise is arguably the worst exYou have clearly never used Arcanine Ex. I saw a strong blastoise Ex deck before but I can't recall what they used with it >>56845794Pika ex is kind of weak imo without Electrode or Zapdos ex support.
>>56845800>Zebstrika are the best partners>Pincurchin works too as a basic that can paralyzeThese are horrible suggestions imo. Do you actually have a Pikachu ex deck? Can you post it? I remember seeing these suggestions before and it felt awful.
>>56845554If you didn't get an alt art for a meta relevant Pokemon (or Misty), reroll.
>>56845943Literally what this game was made for
I decided I would get the Pikachu. I didn't try for Pikachu; I CHOSE to get it.
>>56845964Give ME your clairvoyance.
>>56845943This game is literally collecting first and meta second, especially if you're not a whale. Karenfagging will suit you a lot better in the long run, because when this game inevitably starts ramping powercrept out the ass, you'll just end up having more fun getting your favorites and playing with them, rather than trying and failing to keep up with the meta without spending.
>>568459683 or 4 slot, you pickthen you spend your WHOLE pocket career picking that slot and that slot ONLY!
I just realized Eevee has like 4 different cards wtf? Little shit has it way too good
>>56845974>you'll just end up having more fun getting your favorites and playing with themyeah im sure i'll a ton of fun using my favorites against meta and getting my shit pushed in!!!!1
>>56845975The early days of FEH taught me: always bet on bottom right.
>NEW UPDATE!What did they change?
>>56845968The next card you pick should be top left.
>>56845981Prepping for part 2 which comes out at reset
>>56845977More fun than constantly chasing and failing to get meta cards without whaling or lucksacking hard. If you are a whale or extremely lucky, then ignore my post. But otherwise, you are better off either just goofing off with your favorites or just drop in the game if you can't except the fact that your whale opponents will roll you.
>>56845974>>56845961Oh no, I’ll probably engage very little with the PvP aspect of the game at all. I’m in it basically strictly for wasting my sanity opening packs and getting pretty virtual cardboard for the dopamine hit.

Pikachu is about getting out lots of damage quickly. those 2 do not do that. Magnemite is also horrible for this. All Magnemite is useful for is pumping energy into raichu. Pika Ex works best imo with Electrode/ZapdosHelioMaybe jolteon if you're lucky enough to evolve it quickly so you don't lose damage having it on your bench.Electabuzz is probably the last one you want. but you really don't want to use Pincurchin or Zebrastrike as their damage is so low.
What're they gonna be?

does poison last only for one turn?
Wow, playing without EX and coin flip cards really makes you realize how fucking shite they all are. The game must match make based on your deck because for like 8 games in a row I was getting decks similar to mine with few to no EX cards. I even defeated 2 articuno decks both getting 0 misty energy 2 times. But then I played an articuno deck and it got a 9 energy misty on turn 1 and just wiped me. Anyone defending coin flips also must admit that it’s not a “random 50/50 chance, the game definitely favors one result or another based on certain things, it’s a lot like call of duty lobby matchmaking, it tries to make it feel natural, but you can tell what’s going on.I hope more anons choose to adopt and support the “no EX, no coin flips” meta for /vp/, it really opens the game up and makes more decks and mons viable.
>>56846154Yea, the way it's currently set up I can see the potential for you getting a perfect support setup on turn 1 but this literally only banks on you getting a perfect hand turn 1, otherwise going "first" is an inherent disadvantage...
>>56846173Okay yeah they definitely need to swap to official TCG version then.
>>56846186I only play coin flip decks and I won't stop until they release real control.
>>56846165So you don't even have a deck. Let alone use that particular deck. And you want to argue with me about it? because someone else lucked up and won with it?Get a deck and come face me. Then we'll see who's the retarded one.
Guys I found a mega whale.They had two of those fancy mewtwo exs I never stood a chance.
If you're playing a mewtwo or pikachu mirror match every game is decided at the coinflip unless something goes astronomically wrong with your draw.
>>56846204those mewtwos are common tho... :/
>>56846197Why don’t you just flip a coin IRL and then cheer if it comes up heads, it’s the same exact thing.
>>56846204>two of those fancy mewtwo exsThat's 90% of the players I have encountered.
>>56846217I must be the rare 10% then
>>56846183it lasts until you swap out or evolve
>>56846204i faced someone who had that mewtwo with purple shiny effects
>>56846186>The game must match make based on your deckI don't think it works like that. It's probably more like if you're losing more you get placed against weaker players. but you'll see far less meta decks in the beginner q
>>56846212The point is to feed off the misery of others

No game, I'm not gonna waste my wonder picks...
>>56846296>60 hp>20 damage>ebin hand knowledge at the cost of doing an actually good attackThe best it could do is give you potential early game advantage imo, and even then it would need to combo with red card which would only be good once, and it still requires an energy you could be giving to someone better.Could be interesting to flex and meme on people though.Maybe in the future it could be useful if the meta develops to be more yugioh like where a single card from your opponent can fuck over your Turn 1 strategy combo and lets you know if you need to wait or not, but as it stands it isn't good but still fun and interesting slightly, which is good because if Mew was a meta threat that would be absolutely abysmal and game killing.

>>56846321I can't believe it's two whole ones too, it's a such a scam when you get the bonus picks so oftenNot even good cards, well meowth has card draw and persian can meme it up, but chansey is almost anti strategy since you can't retreat it and a smart player will just let it sit there until their mewtwo/whatever is ready and then just Sabrina you and gain tempo putting them at the advantage.
Is it me or is red card ACTIVELY bad for the user in most scenarios?Energies are free.Either you dump your basics immediately so they can start evolving and gaining energy ergo they're no longer in hand (unless you're really afraid of a Sabrina/Victreebel/Pidgeot bench snipe), or else your bench is full so they're worthless bricks.You can't tutor evolutions, only random basics with PokeBall. So there's no use case of seeing them tutor then shuffling it before they can use it the next turn.So every turn, a person dumps most everything playable in their hand. The only things you hold back are situational aids like Potion, X Speed, or non-oak/misty/brock supporters. And you have no assurance that their hand contained them when you red carded or won't contain them afterwards, other than it they're holding less cards.Which means for the most part, using red card is only wheeling away your opponents bricks and giving them more gas when they were probably out of they had 4+ cards in hand. It's only useful if your opponent has had plenty of gas so far and you need to prevent them from healing, retreating, boosting damage, or switching you out.

>change from beginner to TCG player>Articuno, Articuno, Starmie/Articuno, Pikachu EXI'm going back to the beginner queue.
>>56846337A kiss on the cheek nigga what do you think
>Got second Misty and second Pika ex from the same pullThings are coming along pretty well, could put together budget Pika and water decks now, though I am still missing any Zapdos and copies of any good water mons
>>56846352I hope I play you with my Articuno, Starmie, Starmie, Greninja team. I'm a beginner, by the way
>>56846349>Is it me or is red card ACTIVELY bad for the user in most scenariosYes. it's very easy to see how bad it is if you play with someone you're able to ask how effective the red card was.
>>56846357Damn I was hoping for blowjob.Oh well, beggars and choosers and all that.
>>56846186>Anyone defending coin flips also must admit that it’s not a “random 50/50 chanceThere is no such thing as true RNG when using computer simulation. It's all an algorithm to simulate RNG.
>>56846349ShhhhIf you spread the word about the truth behind red card people might stop un-bricking meI love seeing my worthless potions and x-speeds turn into pokeballs and oaks and evolutions.On the other hand, has anyone here ever wasted a potion/xspeed/whatever just to put them down to 3 cards since you're holding on to a precious stage1/2?I swear people I play against will red card you the second you are above 3, but I always wonder if they will see through my mind games one day.
Bros my charizard packs have always given me the best pulls but now I'm spinning the carousel until I see the sparkles and then stopping it and quickly picking the pack I stop on. I have gotten 3 1-3 star cards consecutively. It's probably psychobabble pseudoscience superstitious placebo. Don't spend money on gacha but if you want to try something different for fun you can. If anybody has tried it in the past let me know. I like to save some of my hourglasses but I'll try it again when I get free packs.

For the next thread remember to use a picture of a card in the OP, any card! It makes it easier to find without searching.
>>56846419>any card!This but Weezing
>>56846349yes its bad to use in most situation. its usefulness depends on how the game goes. Ive used it to stop people from evolving their attackers and to make people have to use a research so they couldn't use a gio and KO that turn or gust me with sabrina. its not strong/broken like other disruption cards are in the pokemom TCG, but its still a disruption card so I think its good to have at least one for certain situations.
>guy concedes right as I press the attack buttonwhat a bitch boy
>>56846251>switch to meta mewtwo deck>instantly matched up with 2 mewtwo decks and a pikachu ex deck>switch to Cloyster deck>instantly matched up against shitIt works exactly like that, the game weighs your deck and match makes based on that and other factors like win rate too obviously. I can also tell some games are “advertisement” games, where it gives me all my cool cards to show the other player who is clearly a free to play player.The card draw is absolutely retarded. The bottom 3 cards of my deck are always the only cards I need to make my combo go off. I’ve been testing a lot, and it’s so obvious the RNG is being heavily manipulated on the back end, with 20 cards it’s very easy to tell. I can see some games are clearly in my favor and others not. >>56846334/vp/ meta is what will save this game from whatever crazy shit the creators pull all along the way. I really think this game will replace the paper game even more than what happened with Magic the Gathering. Having a meta that isn’t controlled by the creators means we can set rules that make the game fun, fair, and evergreen. Do you really want to have to open up 40 shitty pikachu packs? Do you like getting one shot on turn 2 by a pikachu ex? Or on turn one by articuno? Coin flips have ruined Pokémon in the past, see frozen rule and sleep rule in the VG and countless TCG World Championships that have been decided by a coin flip, it’s gay as fuck, the no EX no coin flip meta will prevail.
>>56846419That's why we use ppg anon. Why would you not utilize the search feature?/
>>56846435>I really think this game will replace the paper game even more than what happened with Magic the Gathering.People said the same about YGO Master Duel and the TCG is still alive and kicking nearly three years and two Tier 0 formats later
What should I do when my 2 week free trial runs out?
>>56846439But is it? I’m my lgs only kids under 15 play Pokémon and only a few yugioh fans play yugioh, there isn’t even a yugioh night, of the 3 major tcg’s I’d say yugioh is the weakest, Pokémon has the brand, mtg is more mature, yugioh is the worst of both worlds, it’s seen as childish and autistic. I could get away with taking my gf to a mtg prerelease or a Pokémon tournament, but never a fucking yugioh anything. I predict yugioh will continue to fall off and do whatever it can to stay relevant but it won’t be enough.
EX cards were a mistake
>>56846435your anecdotal evidence does not match up with my anecdotal evidence so you're wrong.
>>56846132The more I like the card art the better the deck.
>>56846449Wait ‘till they introduce V cards…
>>56846447uhhh... pay up.. goi ;3
>>56846451That’s likely I’m not super plugged into yugioh, maybe it’s my area, but also, I’m usually right (always).
>>56846447Go to the old folks' home and steal your mom's credit card.
Sorry for the dumb question. I've been getting this every day and I have no idea if I'm actually getting the rewards. Am I doing something wrong?
>>56846452Can't argue with that logic.
Do you guys think Meowth is good? I have games where it draws me 3 cards which seems great but a Farfetch'd would have just done 120 damage in the same scenario
>>56846456Im talking about the match making arguments. I run into mew2 and pika decks all the time no matter what Im using. they're popular decks
So far I'm undefeated with the Charizard deck I completed today. This deck enjoys the overabundance of Mewtwo decks online. It's a nice change of pace from playing the Mewtwo deck and getting mirror match after mirror match. It feels like my opponents were less familiar with playing against Charizard than Mewtwo, because my opponents made several mistakes.
>>56846461You're getting them but it might be hard to notice. That's literally just one (1) hourglass for packs and wonder picks. It's almost nothing.
>>56846469So by clicking that you get 1 wonder pick hourglass and 1 shop ticket daily?
>>56846473Yep.
>>56846464Meowth is a trap, it's a shit card and you're wasting your turns for card draw that is basically worthless when you consider how small your deck is.You already have professor's research x2 and pokeball x2 for draw, you don't need to be wasting turns on such awful, slow card draw.As you've already figured out, you're better off just putting an actually good pokemon in your deck instead.
>>56846475And the box on the left doesn't mean anything?
uhhh mewtwobros?Why are we jobbing so hard in tournaments??? I thought we were supposed to be the best deck?!
>>56846478Hop off Meowth
Wait so a ranked ladder mode is actually coming out?
>>56846480The box on the left is a graphical representation of the gift box containing exactly one hourglass and one shop ticket. When you tap on it, it should add a graphical representation of the player's disappointed face.
>>56846489Thanks for the clarification
>>56846483Mewtwo EX Gard is unfortunately a bit fragile and slow for the current meta. Not to mention that it has literally no backup plan if the opponent manages to KO your Mewtwo.It's still decent, but it's like Tier 2.
>>56846488Eventually, yes.
>>56846483a 46-47% winrate is still pretty good. thats almost winning half your matches.
>>56846478Yeah I'm not listening to you, I recognize your posting style. Anyone else with an opinion?
>>56846465Even if you don’t make “meta top 3” decks, if you’re still making good decks you’ll run into them. You’ll also notice, if you run a sandslash deck, the mewtwo deck you’ll face is much different than a mewtwo vs mewtwo deck, usually you can tell it’s a worse player.
>>56846503Meowth is a trap, it's a shit card and you're wasting your turns for card draw that is basically worthless when you consider how small your deck is.You already have professor's research x2 and pokeball x2 for draw, you don't need to be wasting turns on such awful, slow card draw.As you've already figured out, you're better off just putting an actually good pokemon in your deck instead.
>>56846503Meowth is cute and silly and should be in every deck
>>56846483Are people sleeping on Starmie?
>>56846506no Ive used sandslash and the mewtwo decks Ive faced are pretty much the same from what I saw used in tourneys.
>>56846483That many decks winning nearly 50% of matches is a sign of a healthy meta.
>>56846487>>56846478I’m testing meowth now, it’s pretty good, card draw is always OP, and it draws you into more draw, witch is even better.>>56846503Once single meowth and only ever 4 basic Pokémon makes meowth and pokeball combo garuntee you’re set up every game.
>>56846483>BOTH articuno variants over 60% winratesurely TPC will do something about this 18 trainer bullshit right? This is way beyond cancer
>>56846515No
the bug fix patch is fixing my luck for sure
>>56846521yuh huh
>>56846483Because it's weak to everyones favorite rogue deck.
>>56845709F2P here can confirm I've got all 3Fwiw my luck has been mostly dog shit otherwise
Whats this fishing thing? More ways to spend wonder pick stamina? Plus a daily freebie to get more free stuff?
>>56846513Sleeping on Starmie? That picture shows that over 6% of the decks that competed were a variation of a Starmie deck, which would place it as hovering neck-and-neck with Charizard and Marowak competing for third most popular deck in the format.
>>56846483>surge Raichu has 60%Uh, based?
>>56846517I've been testing a Mewtwo Gardevoir deck with Meowth in it as well as a singleton Persian. Meowth always feels like I'm giving my opponent a free point but being able to evolve it and go on the offensive once I'm done drawing feels very good. I can't say if it's actually better but I'm liking it more at least.
>>56846542Forgot pic
>>56846542From what I've seen the term fishing might be getting interchanged with wonder picking. What we do know is their's indication that focused wonder picks will come up that target a specific element such as presenting five fire type Pokemon only.
>>56846492Not explainer anon but it also took me way too long to figure it out. There are some quirks and designs that leave me real puzzled and confused. It's peak japanesium.
>>56846542It's how they translated wonder picks
I've been having a lot of fun with Venusaur ex. It jobs pretty hard to Mewtwo and Zard but mogs the shit out of all the retards running Articuno. Does decent against Pika decks but not the surge variant as much.I've been running it with (non) ex eggs and feel like a chad forcing these twink fast decks to go through x2 130 HP walls before even getting to the boss mon. With Erika/Potions/Venusaur it's easily over 600HP they get forced to clear lmfao.
>>56846483Who's the mad lad running Alakazam Weezing? I want to see his list.
>>56846554The answer is no it's probably not better. You're drawing Meowth instead of what you actually want, which is Mewtwo or a card in the Gardevoir family. You think you're buying yourself time but you're actually effectively slowing down your deck by diluting the card pool.
>>56846572It's probably the same thing but I assume the idea is to Koga out Weezing to remove any set up sweeper once your Alakazam is ready
>>56846554When I tested with and without Persian I always did better without it, the game LOVES to give you a second evo to “show” you how it’s important to have basic mons, or some shit. Every fucking game it picks a card type to “teach a lesson” about. >oh look, you have 5 basic Pokémon in this deck? What if you draw all 5 of those and 5 trainer cards before you even get a second level evo?>oh, you have 2 x-speeds? Guess you want both of those and a Giovanni and a Sabrina in your first hand.I even learned to abuse this little fucking Jap game they play. Put a Caterpie in your deck and turn off green mana, you can double draw and get ur Butterfree and then have free potions for game. It kept giving me Caterpie to start every game in my melmetal deck because it thought it was teaching me a lesson about energy requirements. Suck me Gamefreak, suck me easy.
>>56846570>I've been having a lot of funYou can get the fuck out.
>>56846580Not made by Gamefreak
Any deck advise to make Gyarados "Work"? Best I've come up with is Throwing in a bunch of tanky or strong basic mins like Kanga or Articuno (Normal) to make sure I don't brick on Magikarp. It's still like a shitty version of a Dragonite deck which is already pretty shit.
>>56846591Hope for support in future sets is basically all you can do.
>2 hours of straight battling>Still can't level once>M2's, Pika EX's and Articuno's in beginner half the timeLevel 16 and this sucks.
>>56845231They are demonstrating the frame methinks.
>>56846591>Misty>roll 4 heads>winIt's just that easy
>>56846602Try TCG player instead of beginner, you might face with overconfident whales who have expensive decks but don't know how to play them. I klnow I have
>>56846591Dragonite is decent. Gyarados only works with Misty.
Holy shit
>>56846617HOOOOOOOOOOOOLY
>>56846617NICE
>>56846576>You think you're buying yourself timeYou get cards with Meowth, not time. If you want time you use Kang instead. Besides, Gardevoir Mewtwo with a single Meowth has placed in the top of a few tournament lists. Alongside a variant uses Jynx instead. It's like other anons pointed out in this thread. Mewtwo is fragile. Having a non-essential mon on the bench to protect against Sabrina is good and Meowth can pull double duty by helping your gameplan. Jynx likewise can act as a Sabrina shield and can hit decently hard. The way I see it, using Persian combines the two.
>>56846617Nice.
>>56846617fuckin sick anon
>>56846617Add me, now! 8561464884443170
>>56846617friend code, NOW
Shoutouts to all of you bastards liking showcases .3 seconds after reset. I'm paying it forward best I can.
>>56846625It's an interesting theory but I believe reducing Pokeball targets to speed up the process of getting the core pieces of the deck out onto the field will prove to be the safer strategy. Retrieving a Jynx or Meowth from the deck with a Pokeball would piss me off to no end.
>>56846625Yeah but 1/5 cards meowth draws is pokeball or professor research, meaning you draw 2-3 cards and get through your deck faster.Also, if you run 2 mewtwo, 1 gard, 1 meowth, 1/4 times you’ll get free extra card on turn one and tank 1-2 attacks with meowth. A single meowth, no Persian, and low amount of basic mons, also means that pokeballs that draw into meowth can actually draw into any card, same turn if you’ve got x-speed or retreat cost.
>>56846632My friend ID is2471892898012659I'm not opening any other packs today so good luck.
>>56846650Thanks anon, gonna wait a few minutes for my wonder pick to update
>>56846634>after the resetfuck, thanks for reminding melemme go thank some vp bros
>>56846638If the Meowth/Jynx variants fall off from tournament showings we'll get an answer, I suppose. And also once we get ranked. Still, like I said before, the deck feels better for me to play and I'm willing to give up a few win percentage points if it gives me a better play experience.
>Doing Zard packs trying to get FA Sabrina hopelessly until new season>Got Moltres EX>Actually need Articuno EXTruly suffering
Premiumbros, did you finish all your Premium Tasks yet? What are you people saving them for?
>>56846663FA Sabrina will come to those with patience.
>>56846666QUADSPREMIUMCHAD
Also, Persian can occasionally discard a card from your opponents hand. So he's like a ghetto Red Card, too.
do the pack points expire?
>>56846662True. I respect your viewpoint here even if I may disagree. I will probably play around with adding a Jynx or Mewtwo for fun because honestly the deck can get pretty repetitive, and facing against it so often adds to some of the monotony as well. In general I think I will slow down on playing matches until more cards are introduced and the ranked matches are implemented.
>>56846671If the expansion goes out of rotation yes (it says that when you click the info button on the pack points thing)
>>56846671When this set eventually rotates out, yes. We'll probably get plenty of warning before then though.
>>56846675*meowth
>>56846666I'm dumb so I'm probably going to pay this first month and grab everything. Next month though if the promo cards are still extremely cheap and it isn't a mat set that i like, I'll probably just pop in and out as things interest me. My free packs are perfectly spaced out 8 hours apart. I'm a bit afraid I'll get used to it if I don't cancel after this first month.
Does anyone know if the Premium pass trial expires if you don't claim it after a certain amount of time?And when would be the best time to use it? Like a day before the end of November I think?
>>56846650Also I put a Mewtwo binder on my profile so people know they got the right person.
>>56846685If the mat set next month is the one that's already datamined, it's a nice scene of the Bulbasaur family line. I will definitely want it
>>56846694Datamine says that one is an event one. The next premium one should be the pikachu one. Of course they could change it beforehand.
>>56846699>premium card is a pikachu variant>all the bonus stuff is mewtwo>next pass card is a mewtwo variant>all the premium stuff is pikachu stuffthis how they jew the ocd niggas
>>56846617So is it possible to Wonder Pick God packs? Crazy if so.
>>56846663She's a nice centerpiece. Don't spend real money on gacha.
>>56846701Yes, only 2 gold stars and below though like: >>56845861
>>56846645>>56846638>>56846625Playing earlier I thought I noticed that Meowth offset the ‘going first’ penalty pretty heavily. Like if you go first with meowth, you can set up whatever, tank their first hit, then go and either draw a card and sac meowth or sometimes their starter and bench can’t 2 hit him, so you can pull him out and save a point.
>>56846704Very nice
>>56846704Trade her to me. I don't care how you do it, just make it happen
>>56846700Can't you just save your premium tickets from the first month and get the stuff from the second after cancelling your subscription? Or do premium passes expire too?
New shitter here, just started yesterday. So far I’ve been able to get two Pika exs, a Jolteon and a Heliolisk, but no Zap nor ‘Trode yet. My only other halfway decent deck is a Grass energy engine of Liligant to feed Venusaur ex. Roughly how fucked am I?I also have two Articunos (regular and ex), but haven’t started building them yet.
>>56846706So that guy's pack with the crown card isn't gonna show up then? Lame but typical
>>56844812Will crafting a special effect apply it to ALL my remaining cards?
>>56846704great minds think alike
Add ability to reorganize decks screen please
>>56846448It's funny how One Piece is replacing all games except pokemon. Digimon is fucking dead where I live.Bamco fucked up not making a TAMERS sequel/spin-off to market the game.
Pulled a misty but im not a f*g that plays w*ter typeswanna trade lads?
>>56846717Just commit to opening Pikachu packs and save wonderpicks for the off chance you see a Zapdos EX would be my advice. Commit until the pikachu deck is complete
>>56846580classic schizo post from someone who doesn't understand probability or randomness you probably think that matchmaking is a forced 50 or that 'declumping' cards before shuffling gives you better hands
>>56846727I have 3 charizards and want nothing to do with them>>56846722
>boss, are you sure you want me to...?>yes, now do it.>o-ok... *BRAAAAAP*
>>56846723This pisses me off even though it's so minor.
>>56846727Water decks are a meme right now
>>56846726I think Tamers is the next big thing they will bring back. Adventure 1 and 2 got their followup stuff. Also, here in the US Discotek Media is remastering the old seasons of Digimon on Bluray and next up will be Tamers after they release the first three movies together.
>>56846617Wish the Crowns got background like Gengar's instead of the ugly banana pudding spiral
Worried about saving these timer refresh items since I'm F2P, am I paranoid? They're dropping these shits like candy and I know that's how they get you.
>>56846727I'd trade you my crown zard for her
>>56846717>two Pika exsThose are the important cards so you're doing fine
>>56846728That figures. I wanted to hunt the Saur theme deck in the Zard packs (for eggs and a few randos) but I might just have to go full pikanigga.
>>56846736It's truly bizarre when you consider that you already can reorganize your showcases and binders
>>56846666Is premium currency gonna reset? I'd throw money at it every once in a while to hoard premium tickets in case something cool pops up and I got no time to farm missions.
>>56846744Yeah, once you use up the stuff they give you in the start it turns into a right trickle. You need to exercise restraint when spending them.
>>56846753I doubt it, but if it does for whatever fucking reason I'll just dump my shit in the Mewtwo shit I guess
>>56846704>>56846722*posted without comment*
>>56846756>Here's the F2P player I was telling you about
>everyone popping up with immersive cards left and right>just want my little yellow rat and nothing to show for it so farGuess I’ll die.
>>56846762>>56846762>>56846762
>>56846748Pika is strong but I got more fun with Blastoise. My other mons are X1 Lapras and x2 Meowths.
>>56846748Well other anons might tell you otherwise. And honestly, I'd recommend looking up videos of the gameplay of the Pikachu EX deck if you're not familiar with it. If you're not as interested in it as say Exeggutor EX, than maybe you should go to the Charizard packs. At the end of the day fun should be the piority. But if you are interested in being competitive on the ranked ladder when it is introduced, finishing the Pikachu EX deck will put you in a very good spot for this current meta.
>>56846677but if they dont go out of rotation and they add new packs can i use them on cards in the new expansions?
has anyone made a kabutops deck
>>56845341slower decks make better use of a more timely/late-game sabrina meaning you will generally see it when you need it by then (slower decks also dont make use of early tempo sabrinas especially against decks like pikachu ex/starmie ex with very cheap retreat costs)some decks like scraping up points immediately not letting your opponent build up a bench and put a lot of aggressive pressure with more tempo oriented sabrinas so 2 copies would be neededsabrina is a great card and one minimum is currently necessary but the choice for two depends on the deck
>>56844866Okay chill out there Asmondgold.
