Were people serious about trying to set up a no EX, no coin flip meta? I don't hate the current meta, but I kinda wanna play in a different environment once in a while and use cards that just aren't that good. It's like playing Little Cup in the Pokemon games or Pauper in magic.

No

>>56848725
I had 2 sabrinas in the past week, but they are essentially dead draws once victreebel comes in. And the only times you want to draw sabrina is really early on if your opponent draws well or youre plan gets fucked somewhere in early-mid game and you need sabrina out to maybe save the game. 1 sabrina is fine for now, and the 2 erika has been saving my ass today so maybe this was the correct choice after all since I beat all the pikas I faced today because of double drawing erika and keeping victreebel alive.
>>56848729
Very solid, you kinda want to go 1st because of the evo spike and potentially ending the game if you get double heads. He can tank mewtwo 150 atk, but noticed more ppl running gio to finish off exeggutor. Just wish he was base 50 atk or 170/180 hp.

not that anon but i also have a victreebel/egg deck and sabrina is 100% needed at 2. my list is the same as his but i drop red card for the sabrina. red card is just bad. sabrina becoming useless because you set up victreebel is a VERY nice problem to have. the issue with any stage 2 deck is actually successfully getting it into play. you need all the early disruption you can muster and sabrina is just too good at that. spam it even. if they attach 1 energy and need 2 to attack, sabrina them. winning a whole turn of delay is way too strong to pass up.

I think Golurk is cool, and Jynx is breddy good as an emergency card later in the game when the opponent has something that needs like 3-4 energy stacked on it. I've won a lot of games because of Jynx. Though I'll admit that Golett and Golurk kinda suck, but I don't have many psychic cards to work with right now so its either those two or Swoobat

Doesn’t look like it would have made a difference unless he drew into golurk (for stalling) and his opponent stupidly added more energy to articuno. Anon’s hand was only capable of outputting 90 damage after taking a second attack from articuno (which would have oneshot his current bench).

I do agree that he should have benched them, though. Red card can be a fucking bitch on turn one.

Does it even make sense to put Misty in the Starmie Greninja deck?
Sure, it can help to reach 2 energy when you start, and you can use it on your second Starmie or your Greninja so you can retreat, but also Misty doesn't do anything at all half of the time, and you could use Giovanni or something instead.
Misty is so overrated to be honest. People lost on turn 1 only once (or maybe never), but they keep freaking out for days.

The venu ex/starmie decks are a lil tough if they even draw average. But for the most popular decks(mewtwo, char, pika) I can manage.
>>56848814
Red card is hands down the strongest card in the game. You have to use it solely based off tells your opponents does. You need it as a 1-of. Running it at 2 is a bad idea because the decks sizes are too small to run more than a single copy. 2 sabrina is okay, I went on a massive streak of drawing both sabrinas before getting anything set up so I swapped it, erika is just flat out better to draw 2 of and youll need erika more often than not to sustain the victreebel swaps.

Try Mawile+Bisharp.
>>
>>56848988
I think Mawile is an insanely powerful card, it's just hard to find a payoff. I feel like a really high value Stage 2 or an overstatted Stage 1 is the best bet. Has to be colourless or mostly colourless, of course. Flareon? Alakazam? Golem, so you can use Brock to accelerate? Or a fossil, maybe. Beedrill also impresses me with its statline.

The annoying thing is that Melmetal IS too slow - unless you go second and you can Amass and then switch to Mawile with an X-Speed next turn. Then it feels fast as fuck. Everything you could replace it with is going to be slower when you draw it in your opening hand going second.

it is a huge gap

you will never win a tournament without pikachu, mewtwo or charizard with the cards we have currently, that is how big the gap is between those 3 and the rest

yes, you can win against them on a single game with other decks, you might highroll, they might brick as well
but doing so consistently in a tournament to get you a win is impossible

I use them to craft cards I need. Full arts are neat, but they're just useless fluff. If I get one, cool, but I'm not waiting weeks to craft one. I want the useful cards first.

you wont win through rapidahs/moltres

Why not? Make it so you have to pull the card to be able to use it as an icon. That way people whale not just for meta but also profile pics.
>>
>>56849425
to help with consistency
the major drawback of the charizard deck is getting your charmelon and charizard in time

after your initial setup of molttres + charmander you will likely have one or two pokeballs left to use

so you use pokedex to see if the charmeleon/charizard you need is coming up and if its not then you pokeball to shuffle your deck
>>
>>56849425
Deck only wins if you have Charizard so the cards are to maximize your chance at Charizard. Use it and then pokeball if you
don't like what you see. It is the first card to go if you want literaly anything else. Some faggot is just parroting tourney results without knowing why.

Eh, gameplay is braindead and you run out of resources to open packs way too fast, after 3 days you'll be stuck waiting 12 hours to open a new pack every single day unless they increase the rewards. It's just a dopamine dispenser and not even a good one at it.

Me rn, they planned this economy pretty horridly. I only have enough hourglasses for like 8 packs that I'm aiming to conserve for the next expansion, and enough for 1 wonder pick. They need to pump way more resources and way more things to play into the game. After you go through and get the deck you want to make, there's not much to do with it, which is pretty awful for a game launch. Kills the eagerness of having finally finished a deck.

How do you play a Koga deck anyway? I happened to pull a full art and wanted to put it to good use. I have Weezing and Arbok and I used them for the solo battles for some of the missions but can't tell how effectively I'm working Koga in there.
>>
>>56849597
Different mechanic.
Card game gachas tend to have a crafting system. This one is so simplified it barely fits the word at all, but it's still definitely the equivalent.
This game does not have pity.
>>
>>56849611

It has a deck reward so I'm guessing there's going to be some gameplay involved. Maybe like our story missions, it will have a series of objectives to complete in battle with rewards assigned to each

I actually ran this in a solo match and it beat ass, but I imagine real players aren't gonna make it that smooth, especially with everyone running Sabrina.

For sure. While risky because of the EX rule, the energy generation of Moltres really helps out Arc get online fast unless you absolutely fumble the coinflips.

the lapras event works like the CPU battles

its a deck with a few difficulty settings ,more optimized the harder you go

the reward for beating it are RNG between tickets, shine and a promo pack

Pocket doesn't use the standard TCG rules, it's a simplified and faster version.
e.g. Cards have different effects from their TCG counterparts. You generate 1 energy per turn instead of them being cards you have to draw. Decks have 20 cards instead of 40. Game ends after a player gets 3 KOs instead of 6. etc

I'm guessing they'll be usable for part 2 of the event and either allow you to use a large amount of them for buying the cards directly once the event is almost over or they'll be converted into Trans Rights Tickets

Like $30. I bought the Gardevoir pack, the discounted gold, and the $99 pack twice but I have so many Google credits over the years that I didn't have to use much real money. I have really even used the gold, either. I just feel better knowing it's there if I need it.

There was also a 7X multiplier on in app purchases so the shit i bought with google credit earned me more google credit lol

To be fair, it makes sense, all those packs when you're opening singles are just an illusion to make you think you're picking the right or wrong pack, most likely they all have the exact same cards.

Brazil has the world's second highest Japanese population but Nintendo has only recently started advertising over there. The meme for years was that Brazilians are a bad demographic because they just pirate everything but once they started actually advertising over there and translating games to Br Portuguese, the populace started buying shit.

Also i think the switch price and the lowering cost of internet in Brazil has helped a lot. Import costs down there are fucking ridiculous because they want to maintain their own manufacturing.
>>
>>56849905
>implying pika deck isn’t fun
The low retreat costs facilitate a lot of planning to position yourself around your relatively low hp. It makes for good comebacks in a game where that isn’t very easy.

I get tired of bad players like you. Some of us are actually good at the game and don't need to do exactly as what someone who went to a tournament and got lucky did.

>>56849448
I dont know why its called crafting, its just another shop. Every time you open a pack you get 5 pack points, you go into a menu and can spend your pack points on any card in the set. The ultra rare golden crown things cost 2500pp, the EX cards are like 500pp and you can buy any missing common little shitter cards for 35pp or something.
>>
>>56850167
Depends. I know I’ve made some games way longer than they needed to be, but in all fairness, they were close games. The only thing that makes me consider conceding is that I known I’ll be taking longer turns as I have fewer outs and wiggle room should I pick the wrong out.
>>
>>56850156
Early today I faced a Venusaur (the gen 1 Pokemon) deck. I drew red card and a hand scope I'm running because I didn't pull any Giovannis. Peeked at his hand, saw Ivysaur, and Red Carded him. He went the entire rest of the game without drawing into it again.

NTA, but these are my rolls from the early game F2P (I originally had FIVE fucking full art Pidgeot but burned the other three). If my RNG had landed slightly different, I'd be able to run multiple competitive decks, too. It really just depends which ex you happen to roll.

The short story was that Brazil needed cheap labor for their plantations and Japan was still a relatively primitive country in the early 1900s, so it was an easy source of dumb foreigners that nobody else was tapping into.

So now Brazil is basically the only country in the world outside Japan that has a sizable Japanese population.

Duel Links has its own share of problems but its card economy is so much better with the way we get constant events, packs never leaving, cards guaranteed to be in the box, and Dream Tickets. The 2 free packs a day are not really worth it with how hard it is to collect stuff. If I couldn't reroll my account until I got what I wanted I'd probably not have even bothered with this game. I'm already thinking about how future expansions are going to suck to go through because you're just winging it with a set account instead of rerolling.

Youd have to be subhuman not to at this point
>>
there will almost certainly be some kind of restrictions on trading (even ptcgo, which was more of a simulator than a gacha had restrictions) but I doubt it's going to outright decide what rarity you have to trade for. will probably cost yet another currency to do and/or be locked behind daily cooldowns and minimum level requirements. all speculation though, of course.
>>
I pulled crown mewtwo and charizard, alt art zard, and 4 alt art charmanders. Why does this game want me to metafag so much?
>>
>>56850571
neither of those are tier 1 decks.
>>
>>56850510
I kind of doubt they will. I think it's WAY more likely that they introduce a new currency you have to spend for trade and the cost goes up based on the rarity you're trying to trade. So like if you're trying to trade a 1 star for a 2 star, just doing the trade itself will cost a fuckton of trade point.

Pokemon Go uses a similar system, where they balance trading shinies and legendaries by making prohibitively expensive.
>>
>>56850570
i mean pokemon has been doing trading ingame for 20 years, theyll have a good system
it might be like the pokemon home trade system. i saw some retards thinking they would just make a second account and be able to trade with themselves as if they havnt thought of this.

>>56850510
itll be like gts, where you set what you want and what you offer then leave it up there, and they will probs charge a hourglass currency to do so
>>
>>56850517
devs said so moron

there was a Q&A before the soft launch and devs said that trading wont allow for cards of different rarities to be traded

their reasoning was that they dont want little timmy getting scammed out of their rare card
but they just really want to avoide alt account abuse

and also the trailers that showed trailers showed that UI is 1 for 1 cards, same rarity as well

>>56850528
trades are 1 card for 1 card only

>its the only way to really avoid alt account abuse as well
No, equal rarities itself does nothing to prevent alt account abuse, since someone can just trade their junk EXs for rerolled good EXs.

Putting such a high cost on trading that you can only trade extremely rare cards once every couple months does make it impossible to shovel over good cards from an alt (at least, in any significant capacity).

not if you make it so you need 3+ of one card before trading a copy
just like the flairs

rerolling for 3+ of the same rare card its almost impsosible

HAHAHAHAHA
>>
>>56850628
each of those decks made up 6.25% of the top cut. 56.25% of the top 16 were pikachu decks. i guarantee those two players were not the only mewtwo or charizard players- they were just the only two to actually make it to the top 16. they are tier 2 decks.
>>
>>56850548
Having no pity system is the real kick in the balls, even Master Duel gives you a guaranteed SR at minimum and a free UR in your next ten pack if you don't pull one, here the game just takes your stuff and tells you to go fuck yourself, wait or pay bitch.
>>
>>56850618
It's not that Mewtwo isn't tier 1. It's that Pikachu is borderline tier 0. It's such a ridiculously fast and consistent deck that it floods the top rankings.

no it is not tier 0 you fucking retard. am i arguing with a bunch of 16 year olds or something that are just repeating words they heard online? a tier 0 deck is one that is so oppresively good that the powergap that it has no real counters. like it wins 65+% of non-mirror matchups. it doesn't just mean "the best deck right now". pikachu is tier 1 and mewtwo/some others are tier 2.

Does this not just mean rotation?

Man I wish I could take your crown Charizard off you. I have 1 but it'd be nice to get a 2nd. I have the alt art full art that looks the same as it but red so it's not like I'm in dire need, but finding people willing to part with their crown rarity cards is probably going to be a crap shot. That being said, if the system is only equal rarity, then it's all pointless.

I read it as any pack points you've saved from a set disappear when that set rotates

It depends which game you came from. In Yugioh, a tier 0 format is defined as a format where 65% or more of the top ranking decks at an event are the same deck. Even IshizuTear had counters, but the deck was so ridiculously consistent that there wasn't much reason not to play it.

Ok, so let me see if I understand: All packs are limited and will eventually expire, meaning that their cards won't be available anymore unless they rerun them or include them in future packs if they ever do, and Pack Points are not permanent, meaning that unless you paypig hard it will be pretty much impossible to buy full art EXs, Trainers and immersives.

I fucking knew that as soon as I saw DeNA in the title screen, I was going to deal with some ultra jewish bullshit.
>>
>>56850705
pikachu 100% fits that definition
pikachu decks make up half or more of the top cuts in any tournament and the deeper you go into the top cut the bigger the share of pikachu decks

half or more isn't 65% or more

pack points are set specific
so unless you kept opening the same set even after new sets came out you would never reach the 1250 points for a full art 2 star

sets are 3 months
you get 70 packs per month
210 free packs per set

1050 pack points per set

I've gotten Articuno EX, 2 copies of Zapdos EX, Pikachu EX, and FA Pidgeot from it so far
Been pretty damn fantastic
I've missed some stuff too but 20% despite being low is a lot better than the ~2% from the packs when you put it in perspective, so it's better to bank on those rolls than the wasted pack attempts
>>
>>56850720
The original anon you were bitching at said "borderline tier 0". A deck with 8 (9 if Pika-electrode is the same archetype) tops of the top 16 IS borderline tier 0.
>>
Is it worth it to start a side account so I'm extra prepared when trading drops?
>>
>>56850739
you wont be able to get full art trainers as F2P from trading either
youd need 3+ copies of the same 2 star to trade and odds of having that as F2P are so low already

blinging is for paypigs in this game, commoners such as yourself play with diamond cards and half blinged decks
>>
>>56850753
okay dumbass, whatever floats your boat
>>
>>56850739
1050 pack points is a lot from just free shit, you'll get a couple of immersives + maybe a gold crown over 200 packs easily(not counting all the event shit we'll get soon, according to datamines)

for f2p that's pretty good, you'll get nearly a complete set (maybe even a full complete set for mew)

by gacha standards, that's pretty good

Well there you have it. Look, if we were playing in an ACTUAL tier 0 format anything else that even made it to the top 16 would be a fluke or getting attention for being a neat underdog that nobody seriously expects to win. The only people who call pikachu "borderline tier 0" are people wishing it actually was so they could have an excuse to lose to it all the fuckin time lol

That's actually the reason they give you the packs directly instead of giving you a free currency to buy packs with like other digital TCGs.

It's to drip feed you the dopamine of opening 1 pack every 12 hours, acting as a push/trigger to spend money. This is better than the free currency option because with that you can just hoard currency until you can open a big batch of packs all at once and blow your load and not feel like you need to spend money.

It's honestly genius that they did it this way in like a really manipulative, nefarious way.

I don’t have Pika but I genuinely don’t even understand how you lose with it. The Ratón has amazing damage efficiency as a basic and every staple card has 1 retreat cost so you have so much more counterplay than other decks that lack the same bulk and light retreating

Because the early TCG only had supporters. The issue was that there was nothing stopping people from spamming the best trainer cards multiple times per turn. Supporters were introduced to nerf trainer cards in general without having to completely remove the problem trainers.

Like "Draw 2 cards" isn't an issue on its own. It WAS a problem in the first years of the game when you could easily pop four of them in one turn and draw 8 cards. (and it was one of the LEAST broken of the bullshit trainers in that format)

NTA but it's pretty straightforward if you have the tools. >>56850810 covers it pretty well but the cheap retreat costs and only running 4 mons lets you stall really well by cycling through mons and low energy costs means you can almost always be on the offensive if you're prepping your vulpix/ninetails on the bench.

Ever notice that when you manage to track your favorite in a Wonder Pick, sometimes the game will suddenly buffer/load right before flipping to reveal another card???
Did DeNA really think we wouldn't notice this!?! They are switching the cards during uncommon when you picked the 3 star! WTF
Oddsfags are going to say I'm crazy/coping but I bet they have no explaination why would it need time to load my card when flipping if its already decided the moment I used stamina to wonder pick that selection? What is going on during this buffering animation?
Care to explain logicfags HUH?! HUH?!

>>56849710
This proves nothing. The buddy simply picked the bent pack, but it was before he ripped it open. There was no proof it was seen during the wheel animation. Of course it would show what he got as he already picked the bent pack and what was in the bent pack would be rare. And its a Full-Art Squirtle Card so that leads credence to the theory. Not a bad pack to pull.
>>
>>56848442

Copied picrel off the tournament site in the op but with a red card over gio out of personal preference. Basically it lets you be aggressive out of the gate with low energy cost/retreat cost mons but also it lets you bluff and set traps like mentioned in >>56850810. Switch out can make its staple mons RC 0, and you can bluff damage ranges that your opp will probably miss. Consider a game scenario like this
>Need to kill opponent’s EX Mewtwo to win, he has it out vs Rapidash, Mewtwo is at 120HP
>Switch out Rapidash with an unevolved Vulpix on my bench at 1 Fire Energy
>Vulpix gets your energy for that turn, evolve to Ninetales, use 2 Fire Energy Flamethrower with a boost from Blaine to do 120 damage and kill Mewtwo to win

Obviously good players might clock it but even if they do, it forces them on the defensive and you have Sabrinas to fuck them up in that case. We’re only playing vs randoms though so to the average joe that gamestate just looks like an unevolved benched Vulpix and not your win condition

I think it's something like your pull is determined the moment you click the button, but the chance of easter eggs like a bent or backwards pack is raised if your pull is good. So sure, the bend doesn't change anything, but if you notice a bend, it gives you a hint of what you got. Of course, despite knowing this, I'm still going to look for bends or backwards packs every time.
>>
>>56850926
you could be on to something here.Well its not uncommon to have a wheel with no backwards or bent packs. Sometimes they just arn't included in the selection.

Isn't it a good thing that packs refresh on a timer instead of on a daily basis?
Because then you can use hourglasses to manipulate your pack refresh time so that you get one pack in the morning when you wake up and one at the same time that night?

I've got mine set to 6 and 6 right now and it's pretty comfy, I wake up, open a pack, then after work I open my second pack for the day and I'm done.

That's when most people quit irl, and it was so impactful that they had to nerf the mechanic by introducing the extra monster zone to change what the field layout looked like, stopped people from being able to repetitively revive all of their destroyed pendulums every turn

Anon, you do realize that having an actual roulette of cards after you have already picked the Open a Pack option means that the odds of you getting certain cards can be increased or decreased, right? And tampering with odds in a gacha game is extremely illegal in Japan. Everything that happens after you tap Open a Pack is nothing but shines and sparkles, from the several packs to choose, to the bent flaps, to packs showing the back. There's no secret tech here, it's all just placebo to make your monkey brain think that those little things can actually improve your odds.

I don't care what you are saying and I'm not going to try and convince you of why you are all retarded. Think and believe whatever you want. I don't like most of you anyway.

If you pull enough copies of charizard or electrode you get their card art as a pic. There may be more.
