Keep in mind that I ripped up 5 Mankeys for flair.
Accept the Misty
Where are all these Pikachu ex players I keep hearing aboutI haven't seen them online even once
>NigHater22 has been in my Wonder Picks for hours nowwhatcha doin lil' bro, why'd you choose that name? :)
>Make a reroll account to try and get full art slowpoke into my main account's wonder pick>Do the three tutorial pulls>Charizard EX, Mewtwo ImmersiveI really should have rerolled before spending instead of doing just sticking with what I got (Even though I didn't do too badly)
I just spent 36 wonder timer for nothing. Just give me my last moltres ex goddamn
>>56859057NTA but>increasing pity for a certain banner from the usual 400 to 500 (because 5th anniversary, I kid you not)>locking a feature behind getting 5 copies of the same pair>monthly gems hover around 20k. You need to secure at least 36k to get pitySo yeah, most got disinterested with Pokemon Master SEX for that reason
>>56859082Funnily enough, you see Red Card in tournament lists because most tournaments are open list.Meaning your opponent will see you running 1x Red Card and naturally be forced to play around it at all times.It's a psychological pick that doesn't work in random matches.
>>56859086That's actually pretty smart. My wonder pulls are absolute dogshit.Can you retroactively get packs people already opened from before you added them as friends?
>>56859088I uninstalled after Rika banner due to boredom/lack of time but when I saw the reaction to 5th anni I knew that was the end. Still had good times with the game but the unit release model of 4-5+ new characters per month was so bad because it meant they had no time to really add new content at the pace the players wanted
>Pikachu Eelektrik deck>wrecks my shitGlad to see my man Eelektrik finally get some love
>>56859088I genuinely think they want to wind down Masters so they can focus more on TCGP so they're pushing the amount of squeezing beyond reason since it's win-win whether they get more money or push people to recognize they're fed up and quit
>>56859086im trying that but the wonderpick doesnt show up at all
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
>>56859098Why are tours open list? I get submitting to the hosts but I feel like you should be rewarded for bringing a secret weapon
>>56859118I was wondering where I recognized that song from and then realized it was from Snyder's Justice League
>>56859098I feel like it has some niche uses.>Opponent is running a stage 2 deck, keeps basic unevolved for a couple of turns and then evolves while having a bunch of cards in handMost likely already hanging onto his stage 2 for the next turn>Late game scenarios where both boards are already fully built and they're hanging onto a bunch of cards in handCould really save you from an untimely Sabrina/Giovanni/healing.It's not the most general use card, but it's not a trap either. You just need to pick your spots.
i cant convert the original video in to a webm which lasts 15sec this cut out the best arcanine part
>>56859135Average Pikachu pack puller
>>56859104I think so. I am pretty sure I got a pack that I rolled before friending my alt, but I should probably test it by adding and not rolling>>56859108
How do I make a "community showcase"
>>56859133Yeah I’ve 100% won games both of those ways. The card pool is so thin anyways that there’s nothing I’d really really want over it
>>56859098Red Card makes it less likely for your opponent to clinch out end game scenarios and can disrupt hands enough for you to steamroll before the opponent to get online
>still missing 1 kirlia frogadier and charmeleon for my decksWhy is it always middle evos
>>56859162It doesn't "disrupt hands". There's only one search card in the game and it only searches cards you can always immediately play.What you're imagining is a situation where your opponent's holding 4+ cards in hand, but the whole point is that simply running Red Card in an open list tournament forces your opponent to never pass on 4+ cards because then they know they'll lose to a card they know you're running.And in that situation, the ideal setup is to run Red Card but never draw it.
>>568591682 diamond cards not shared between all sets, while basics are 1 star shared across all setsit's fucking stupid, I have 2 Ralts 2 Garde and 0 Kirlia
what would be the implications of allowing the player going first to attach energy turn 1 but not attack
ALL OF MY WONDER PICKS ARE DOGSHITI HAVE SO MANY HOURGLASSES
>>56859183Turn 3 Pika nuke
>>56859183Unironically too strong. Decks like Pikachu, Starmie, and Marowak would dominate even harder than they already do.
>>56859191the first two I agree but 25% chance to 0 is definitely not dominating
>>56859183>you slap them with 20 damage>they hit you back with 90 damageThen again, it currently happens but you're on the receiving end when going first
>>56859203Marowak/Sandslash has (significantly fewer than Pikachu or Mewtwo) tournament wins.
>>56859191Marowak is kinda booty
>got angry at imaginery scenarios in my head again and started mumbling insults under my breathdecks for this feel?
>>56859183Turn 1 will get stronger as stronger items and trainer cards releaseIt's best to balance indivdual cards for now, like tuning Pikachu from 30 to 25 or increasing his energy to 3
>>56859218>5 TCG operates on 10s, Pika's just in this weird middleplace where everything he has is too strong and there's no easy way to nerf it without making it too weak.
>>56859218Pokemon never does 5s.And there's no point in nerfing Pikachu when pack 2's EX lineup will just be better. The only reason they'd do it is to make sure everything you invested in right now is even more worthless.
>>56859215
>>56859232devs said they'd only ever rebalance a card if the situation was truly direthey haven't acted on the Misty Articuno meme so I don't think they'll change a card anytime soon with the powerlevel this low.
>>56859215Hitlerchu
>>56859177uhhh the entire reason its good is to cuck stage 2 decks(which is every deck but pika), and it gets sabrina/erika/gio out of hands so that when your opponent telegraphs a set up for that trainer you get it out of their hand
>>56859249>telegraphs a set upPlayers have zero control over their ability to evolve.
Sweet. Isn't the immersion one, but still cool.
It's going to be hard to nerf cards when clearly some players already added flair to them. Wouldn't surprise me if multiple rat EX is murdered to make one sparky. One general no-no for gacha game is fucking up with a player's collection
>>56859266Not trying to yuck your yum but Planeta is unironically the worst fucking thing to ever happen to the TCG's art.
Just started this game and i already have the making of a blastoise/lapras deck. Are water decks good? I’ve never played the tcg.
Deck comp and which stage to let the game auto win for the event? I already beat Expert under 12 turns and i dont want to just repeat the same fight over and over to get event boosters.
>>56859280Pikachu/Electrode.
>>56859274naw, ntabut full arts look amazing in this game with the 3d effect from the background
>>56859273Why do people think gacha nerfs have ANYTHING to do with balance or protecting whales?>release new OP card>it dominates the meta>everyone asks for a nerf>wait until the next OP card releases that invalidates the old one>if you invested in the old OP card, you can still kind of compete with a Tier 2 deck>now you nerf the old OP card>"See? We listened :^)"
>>56859277as long as you have misty in your deck it would be hard to make a bad water deck
Why the fuck would they ever nerf cards? This isn't fucking hearthstone
>>56859314because the jews ruined the world and people have to play the best things to win irelevant matches
>>56859325jesus how'd you get to be such a doomer? it's been out for like a week and they're already giving out a free ex on top of like a gorillion beginner packs
>>56859330You know a card being an EX doesn't magically make it automatically good, right?I'm guessing you're the target audience for the tins and starter decks at Target?
>>56859330i need 2 mewtwos and 2 voirs
i am depressed
>>56859337lol i've been playing the tcg since hgss. you can be mad if you want though nerd
>>56859314These cards are all completely 100% digital with no paper alternative, it wouldn't be that crazy for them to nerf/buff them at some point.
>>56859314If some cards are affecting the game in a bad way and if ranked is gonna matter soon, changes needed to be made. Unless you think Misty highroll is completely balanced
>>56859343Same, but rolling on gacha and looking at cute Pokemon makes me forget a little bit.
Nice. I'm gonna try my luck with the pikachu pack now.
i watch this looped https://youtu.be/gNN3EhxKvMY?list=LL
>>56859351yeah i agree it isn't balanced. if we were never to add new sets and just buff/nerf genetic apex over time then yeah it would be a more fun game with a nerf/rework. i think the way to balance it isn't to nerf it though. as we get more good supports people will want to play ones that guarantee value, not misty. right now the 1 support/turn isn't a big deal since there are so few good supports to play for it to matter. lowrolling misty right now barely matters, but it will matter when it means your opponent is way ahead of you because they got a lot of value from their turn's support and you didn't. basically i think they just need more strong supports and that will fix it.
>>56859119Does this game even have match spectating yet? How will you know your opponents even brought their listed deck otherwise?
Speaking all this nerf business.1. Are all cards going to stay in rotation or do you think they will add different lobbies for the current format and then a wanderer/legacy/all cards legal format too? 2. Does the paper TCG have set rotation?It would be nice if they let us make lobbies/tournament matchmakings instead of just private battle.You could choose which sets you wanted to allow, select how many open slots you wanted , maybe even theoretically let you make custom ban lists, and then after everyone joined (with deck validation) it would randomly seed everyone and lock your deck in until the tournament was over, with potentially the ability to leave to open packs and stuff and come back when your next round is ready.They could also add a more social aspect to the game where you can see players hosting random tournaments and just joining them in a "first come first serve" type of deal.But like hell they will ever add anything that complex and user friendly.
>>56859314They literally mention in the game that they're open to modifying things to maintain a fair and balanced environment
>>56859343I've been depressed for the past 30 years unironically. Things are easier if you make a to-do list on a notes app on your phone, on sticky note in your pc, and work yourself up to a task board in person.Turn off your alarm, see your task list on your phone, tick it off as you get out of bed and into the shower, prepare a meal, do some stretches, go to work, head to the gym, return back home and clean, so on and so forth. Every action has to be on the list. Strike them through as you continue.Just take it all one step at a time. It never gets any better, so it takes every ounce of existence you have to not let it get any worse. It's definitely possible. It's just hell.
>>56859381Judging by their disclaimer, they are gonna make some sets unavailable eventually, so that means there will definitely be a rotation thing going on. It's mostly to prevent the game from getting stale
>>56859178god i miss breeder/rare candy
>>56859381Rotating cards out of availability is always a bad move. Duel Links almost did it at the start and then decided against it, leaving every standard box permanently available, which makes the crafting/pity system actually gain some merit beyond trading for missing low rarity cards.
>>56859383could you link where they say that? would be an interesting think to have verified.>>56859381you can see for yourself by looking at the little info tooltip in the pack points shop, it says your points will become unusable when they stop distributing the pack. whether that means they'll cycle it out right away like a gacha banner or leave it in rotation for 2 years like the normal tcg is anyone's guess. i hope it's the latter but i and everyone else are just pulling this out of our asses. paper TCG does 2 year rotations but this is a standalone game so there's not really a precedent for anything.
Zero for two, today is cursed
>>56859135Surely porn exists of her, right?
>>56859420Why are you pulling for arcanine?
Rapitales seems like a neat deckWhat's its deal?
>>56859416(forgot to say)i feel like if they were going to take down the pack anytime soon, even in the next few months, they would have like a countown saying "78 days remaining" or similar like gacha banners do. just grasping at straws though, of course
>>56859416
>>56859426I want any EX I can get
>>56859402>>56859412yes
Does opening 10 packd give any better odds or anything? Also what is a "god" pack?
What benefits do friends give besides wonder pack stuff, by the way?
>>56859427Without Blaine, Rapidash is a worse Exeggutor and Ninetales is a worse Starmie.The only advantage is Ninetales being able to one-shot Pikachu (or Rapidash two-shotting) with Blaine.And Stage 1 Pokemon with one-energy attacks are decent for when you're going first - but resolving Misty just mogs that.
>>56859430Interesting, at the very least that seems to prove that it's not 100% out of the question. The>as a result of error fixes or adjustments made to maintain a fair battle environmentmakes me wonder if that means more like unintentional behavior fixes. also i expect they're probably going to be faster to just ban something than take the time to analyze and rebalance the cards constantly still. that being said attacking with misty turn 1 could very well be unintentional behavior since the regular tcg doesnt allow it, and only misty allows it. wouldn't be surprised if they just patch that aspect.
>>56859436No. I opened a 10 pack for the first time today and got 9 packs of COLORLESS SHIT and one Zapdos ex.
>>56859457>worseCan't be worse when both are not even EX
>>56859459I'd say both instead of leaning toward the former.>"result of error fixes">"OR">"adjustments made to maintain a fair battle environment"
i dont believe wonder picks being 20%
>>56859420Top right was the promo chansey and I didn't choose it. But chose it last time and bottom left was promo chansey
>>56859476It's worse than Eggs because Eggs doubles Rapidash's damage and it's worse than Starmie because Ninetales doesn't have Misty support, all while also having half the healthpool for the same exact setup. A card being EX or not matters very little when the EX option is more than twice as good as the non-EX option.
>>56859480i mean i wouldn't mind it at all, as long as they don't do them too often for the meta to settle or do it unpredictably. if it we saw like mid-set patches halfway until the next set gets released it could spice the game up a little bit.
>>56859448That's it. Maybe in the future trading, but who knows.
>>56859483Yeah I haven't gotten any good cards in all of my Wonder Picks. I am pretty sure it's weighted too.
>>56859489I think if they honestly want to address game balance they need to fix the inherent PVP mechanics before touching the cards. Nerfing Misty to 1 for instance is only going to open the door to future energy dump cards being abused instead and create a bad precedent of nerfing all of them instead of trying to fix why they're all going to be good ahead of time.
>>56859425I'm actually not finding anything. Weird.
>>56859488Shit out early game nuke to gain the initial advantage with Blaine, most likely taking out an EX mon for 2 prizes, then you just need to quickly find a path to take out one more
you might think that full art misty you pulled is "yours" but i wonder picked her while you were at work.
>>56859274You're right, and the worst part is you can tell it's a cost saving method despite the artwork being applied to what is intended to be rare desirable cards. Soulless trash, but I'm glad to see 2D artwork still has place in the TCG.
Blaine would be uber when we got Rapidash EX or Ninetales EX
>>56859505the issue in my opinion is they saw energy acceleration working out well for the paper tcg, but in a format where you only need 2 kos (on ex's) to end the game it's just such a dangerous avenue to take the game down. i really think the game shouldn't have had ex's at all in a 3 point format, but they knew that they would generate more excitement than just plain jane mewtwo or pikachu cards. 4 point single prize format would have been perfect.
Just started this game. What are the noob tips?
>>56859509>Shit out early game nuke to gain the initial advantage with Blaine, most likely taking out an EX mon for 2 prizesAgain, EXs have too much health for that. The only thing you can reasonably nuke is Pikachu, and that's assuming you're going second with Ninetales and also have a Blaine in hand. Meanwhile that same Pikachu can one-shot both your Pokemon for the same energy cost without needing a supporter (for Ninetales) or an evolution.>>56859521Blaine wouldn't work with those. "Rapidash" and "Rapidash EX" are two different cards. It's why you can't place a Raichu on a Pikachu EX.
3D card art is very lazy, I actually think it's hilarious that they made the 2D card art immersive instead of creating 3D card art that can not only immerse but come with animations (to take advantage of them being the models, which is the primary advantage of 3D to begin with)
>>56859524pick one pack and stick with it until you have a usable deck
>>56859084He's the 22nd in a long line of nig haters
>>56859524the biggest is to only open 1 pack and stick with it till you get what you want. the 3 are different so look over them and see which one has cards you're fine being stuck with, because the other 2 will take a lot longer. if you jump around you won't have enough of anything for a deck (most likely).
>>56859527And as a result the immersives mog the crown rares by a fair margin. If I got a job at the Pokemon company I would tell them to cut the shit with shitty 3D models in general. Don't even use them in the mainline games if they're not going to be animated to Battle Revolution or Stadium standards. I don't care how many Pokemon there are and how infeasible that would be. It's the richest intellectual property in the world and they treat Pokemon fan like slop eaters, because desu most of us will just guzzle down anything
>>56859532Not him, but what's the ratio to stop and go for next pack? I am around 70%/44%/67% spread over Charizard, Mewtwo and Pikachu. My issue is not having most of the EX cards that is core for the decks
>>56859532I guess this is where I ask which one is the best one?
>>56859436Rare packs have all super good cards and it's less than 1% chance to get oneNo reason to open 10 packs, its more efficient to open them one by one so you can stop or switch when you get what you want from a pack
>>56859526>Blaine wouldn't work with thoseNow that's just dumb then
>Queue up for vs>Get a high level guy as an opponent, aw shit>Loading screen takes forever>Opponent failed to connect>Get free expOkay then.
>>56859549so just go until you're only missing 2 or 3 cards from the decks you want. you have to be patient but eventually they'll show up in your wonder picks, grab the stragglers there. buying ex's with pack points are pretty expensive, but other miscellaneous cards are probably fine to just buy.>>56859552best deck in format right now is pikachu, pretty much all the cards for it are in his pack obviously. all the fun cards are in the other 2 though.
>>56859522They probably decided on 3 points as some kind of ADHD-friendly attempt to make the game more compatible with it being mobile/on the go battling, but what they should've done is allow for battle variation and customization. I know people want Ranked, but I'd rather not have a ladder. I'd rather they make different formats like a 3 point one, a 4 point one, a 5 point one, one without EX allowed, and then have a rotating set of custom rules to keep things fresh. That's what Pokemon Showdown does where there's a lot of love for not just OU but randbats, AG, and tons more. I think it'd be in their interest to create an abundance of formats, and then record analytics to see where people naturally flock to the most in order to determine what people like the most to go from there. As things are now, I can already predict that producing a solution for battling pains is probably going to lead to more groaning because they'll have overlooked X, Y, and Z.
>FULL ART TRAINER SHOWS UP ON MY WONDER PICK>Someone I already have, and don't useLAMEalso>No filter on namesKEKKKKKKKKKKKKK
>>56859552Pika is strong and counters birbsArticuno + Misty is a funny ftk if you get lucky coinflipsMewtwo Gard is generally very strong with no coinsMoltres Zard is also funny depending on luckBlain Rapidash 9tails is super budget and excellent
>>56859561Damn, I would have taken it so I could have two copies
>>56859560apparently floating around somewhere are datamined assets for a ranked mode. would be sick if they had an alternate ruleset like more points/best of 3 for it though (or multiple formats, like you suggest). kind of don't think the card pool is wide enough to support secondary formats yet though.
>see people say expert lapras event battle is so easy anyone can do it>AI top decks starmie and insta rapes you 99 times out of 100>only win I was able to get was using the machamp rental deck and getting super lucky with getting chop/choke/champ all in the starting hand while the AI didn't draw starmie until the endWhy do people lie

>>56859561>No filter on namesMan I couldn't call myself DorkKnight but this madlad can be Niggawatts?
>>56859579pikachu pack has FA misty and charizard pack has FA erika/sabrina. good luck pulling them though.
>>56859576>he can't deal with lucky StarmieJust don't be shit
>>56859576>Why do people lieI'm lying right nowon my bed LOL
>>56859576Yeah it's easy when the computer bricks. Starmie ex and Misty can pop off so hard that their high rolls can be impossible to beat so don't feel too bad about that.You can cheese some wins out yourself by playing some stupid shit like Kangskhan and winning the double coinflips when they brick on a single Staryu/Psyduck on turn 2 with no bench too.
I FUCKING HATE THIS SHIT JUST GIVE ME MY MONSTERS!
>>56859363>29k views in a weekholy flop lmfao
>>56859048>you have to crack 138 packs just for a 90% chance of any given EX. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mmFA8bHrEOjeH2Vy93qb1nHdkmzq3ihPiy0b2LWY-4w/edit?usp=drivesdkOuch
>>56859614>you get half of that via logins and 1 day of playingeh
>>56859614that is just not rightfor example regular 4 diamond mewtwo has 0.333% in 4th slotand 1.332 in 5th slotfor a combined 1.665% per packtha means that opening mewtwo packs on average nets you one 4 diamond mewtwo every 60 packsand that is not counting the 2 star mewtwo, the 3 star mewtwo and the crown mewtwoifk what kind of math that google sheet has on it, but if it says that a regular ex is 1 in 138 for 90% odds then its just a piece of shit useless thing
>>5685962099.77% chance that you successfuly wonder pick a card over the course of 10 days. just wonder pick ex's and you will have them all lol
What deck counters Pikachu fags
>>56859634>but if it says that a regular ex is 1 in 138 for 90% odds then its just a piece of shit useless thingYeah you get it. It has no meaning besides a person wanting to make a spreadsheet.
>>56859650promo mankey
Is it worth it to make burner accounts to try and roll for rare stuff?Or is the trade system going to be super restrictive?
I hate this event ;(
>>56859655We don't know
>>56859576The real concern is Starmie EX. The moment you remove that Staryu, they will flop like fish without water
Well, back to my favorite mode in this game: waiting
>>56859655i mean if you're bored its not going to harm your main in any way to just reroll on another device/account. not like there's much to do but battle randoms anyway, there's just no guarantee it will help you to do so.
>>56859351>Unless you think Misty highroll is completely balancedJust Jynx brot. got 8 flips in a row only to get Jynx'd the very next turn for 210 damage
>>56859662We need trading soon man.
How different would the meta be if they didn't cut Resistance?
>>56859662I feel your pain
>>56859682Who could you even trade with? Clefairy and Clefable suck.
>>56859662heh... eleven pp
>>56859690I'd trade you.
>Lapras AI Sabrinas me just to get one single point despite being obliterated next turnlolso petty
So how are you supposed to beat advanced and expert Lapras without ex cards?
I swear to god if I open on a brick one more time while my opponent gets his dick sucked everytime I'm gonna start running ArtiCunto.
>>5685970710 wish pick hourglasses are basically worthlesswhy bother
>>56859707Keep restarting until she whiffs Starmie
>>56859707I've been farming expert Lapras with this deck
>>56859707I used Weezing Arbok Koga, which I do for any mission that asks for 1-3 diamond Pokemon only
>>56858835wait do KO'd fossils not give a point? they're so fucking inconsistent with this in the physical TCG so I just assumed they did
Maybe I'm retarded, but how do you get to level 3? It seems like I literally can't do anything else until I get level 3, and I'm currently 2.5
>>56859707I just used a basic-bitch lightning deck with Zapdos (Non-EX) as my sweeper.Worked out fine.
If I make an alt account, hunt for a rare pack with five rares, and then friend that alt account on my main, will I be able to wonder pick that pack?
>>56859723They do but you can discard it before it dies
>>56859068>Misty works on any mon>Brock, Surge, Koga and Blaine all only work on specific monswhy did they do this
>>56859731no
>>56859682How many Exs will I need to trade to get a single middle evo card?
>>56859723Getting KO'd nets a point, but any time during your turn, you can discard it to free the spot
>>56859736Imagine if Misty only affected like base Lapras and Golduck lmao
>>56859731You'd be better off battling yourself, concede, repeat to farm exp for level up packs.
>>56859726Wonder PickComplete MissionsOpen Packs
>>56859634>that means that opening mewtwo packs on average nets you one 4 diamond mewtwo every 60 packsnot how that works.it's not additive. It's not 59 times you miss and then number 60 you've filled up your luck meter and get it.It's 1/60 chance, 60 times.1-(1-(1/60))^60 for it to show up at least once in those 60 attempts. Which adds up to a cumulative 63% chance to have pulled at least 1.learn statistics.>>56859634>and that is not counting the 2 star mewtwo, the 3 star mewtwo and the crown mewtwoIt's by rarity, there's no calc on the sheet for combined rarities of different cards.though that would actually be something worth adding.
Unevolved mon bluffing with Blaine is so fucking funny when it works
>>56859754>on averageyou learn statistics nigga
Lapras Mankey is OP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbhwRsfr_aA
>>56859754This nigger for real?
>>56859723They give a point if they're KO'd by your opponent, not if you discard them yourself. Putting a fossil on your bench is to protect a mon your trying to set up. Charizard Moltres for example basically loses the game to a well time Sabrina KOing Charmander so it's better to give them a free point by sending in a fossil than it is to lose your main wincon. Or if Moltres gets KO'd you can send the fossil in to see what your next draw is and then discard it.
>>56859738What a fucking scam. I hate card games.>>56859752Is there a level cap?
>>56859754of course its not additive you moronits ON AVERAGEif you open 100.000 packs on average you will get 1 mewtwo 4 star every 60 packsjust like if you flip coins on average you get heads 50% of the time (unless its misty)and the bigger the sample the more it gets closer to the mean
man.. all I want is grimer and muk for a poison deck.. why do I keep getting all of this sparkly stuff?
>>56859772Fuck you. I'm drowning in Wooloo, Minccino, and Rattata.
This is my collection after 129 packs. I'm a bent pack chad btw
>>56859634Expectations and probabilities aren't the same thing. If you have a 50% chance of getting a card when you pull a pack, you expect to get one every two packs, but the chance of that actually happening is only 75%. Specifically, you have a 50% chance of getting 1 and a 25% chance of getting 2. To get a 90% chance of having at least 1 of a card, you need to open about 3 packs, even though you EXPECT to get it in 2. That's because the expectation is an average, and averages are skewed by extreme values - there's always a chance that you get that 50% card you're looking for in one pack and a second one in the next pack, which is pulling down the "average" number of packs it takes to get at least one.IIRC if you have a 1/x chance of something happening, you end up with like a ~64% chance of that thing having happened after you try x times, if x is a big number like 50 or 100.
>>56859740hopefully trading will be locked to cards of similar rarity levelshopefully
>>56859785>I'm a bent pack chad btwSo you just waste your time?The cards you pulled are in your collection before you even open the pack.
>>56859779Please all I want is dark types ;×;
>>56859758>>56859771>>56859765
>>56859793Hopefully not. I doubt anyone will be willing to hive me a promo Lapras EX for a promo Meowth.
>>56859793Hopefully you can trade anything for anything. Then I can just farm burner accounts until I get everything I want. Fuck p2w lootbox shit.
>the only Exs I might actually be able to trade are Venusaur and Gengarwoof
>>56859807Cool now learn what an average is bro.
>>56859801Not true. Each pack has its own contents. If you close the app mid selection the game just auto chooses for you.
>>56859790>64%It's 1-(1/e). It's the same for compound interest BTW, 1% compound interest over 100 years is about e times as much money.
>>56859807i dont know what you are trying to provedoesnt change the fact that the odds of hitting a specific 4 diamond card is 1.665% or 1/60
WTT MOLTRES EX FOR STARMIE EX@@@@
>>56859811They're gonna restrict trading somehow. That's a given.
I think trading is going to be a massive disappointment and the only reason the game didn't launch with it was so that they get people invested in sticking with an account first instead of ruining their launch with trading being trash and getting far fewer people to stick around
>>56859811it's probably going to have to be like rarity for like rarity and also use some kind of currency to prevent people from just rerolling on new accounts.
>>56859833right, and the odds to hit a specific 4 diamond rare over 60 packs is 63%.
>>56859825>Each pack has its own contentsHave any proof for that?Also, having "secret better packs" it literally illegal and goes against gambling laws.They have stated card rarity rates, and they can not go against that or they get sued.
>>56859825>he doesn't knowYour friends' wonder picks are decided when you select a pack
>>56859772guhherika full art cardso cuteabout toc-coo-COOOOOOOOOOO-
>>56859707Just let Heliolisk do its job man
So what's the guess?>need gold to trade>need pack points to trade>need dust to trade>timer + need hourglasses to trade>need 3+ copies of a card to trade itHow many of the above do you expect?
>>568598211-(1-1/6)^3 = 42.129%QED1-(1-1/60)^138 = 90.16%QE fucking D
>>56859839wdym a massive dissapointment?why would it be? because you cannot exploit it?
>>56859862>>need 3+ copies of a card to trade itOh they would totally do this
>>56859848no, if you open infinite packs then the odds of getting that 4 diamond card every 60 packs is 100%
>>56859865Because trading is in the name of the app yet they deliberately avoided launching with trading available as if to make sure they lure people in first
I'm very new to this and I just got this FA Mewtwo EX in my second reroll account. Is this a keeper?
>>56859527>>56859545I was hoping we'd be able to explore the immersive cards ourselves instead of it being a pre-set video.
>>56859852>Have any proof for that?Do you have any proof of your claims?>Also, having "secret better packs" it literally illegal and goes against gambling laws.I'm just memeing, anon. I read in an interview that each pack is different but obviously the odds of what's in each is going to be the same. Although, some of my best pulls have come from bent packs but obviously that's just a coincidence.>>56859854I've yet to see any proof for that other than someone saying "dude trust me" on reddit.
>>56859862All of the above at once. Also you don't actually do the trades yourself. You do the above to create "tradeables" and then you also set up a wishlist and the game will randomly pick a trade for you from your wishlist and your tradeables.
>>56859862You need gold to trade, but it only takes paid gold, not free.This is why there's a distinction between the two. This is also how it works with other gacha.
>>56859869>if you open infinite packs then the odds of getting that 4 diamond card every 60 packs is 100%chances are not additive they are multiplicative.you will NEVER have a >=100% chance to pull a card, even over 100+ pulls.your chances are ALWAYS sub100%, because you could always just have incredibly shit luck and not pull it ever.
>>56859875Not him but trading is absolutely a lost art for mobile games. Hearthstone did generational damage to the entire genre, the people developing games today genuinely do not remember pre-Hearthstone business models for digital TCGs.
>>56859839option 1: trading is classic nintendo style, friend code only tradingoption 2: trading is modern GF style, put card up and what you want for itThe outcome of option 1 is that rerollers will trade to themselves and have better cards than everyone. Kids on the school grounds will scam each other like back in the day. The outcome of option 2 is that the marketplace will be flooded with Rattata asking to trade for a Mewtwo EX. Both options will be limited to once a day unless you're a paypig and you can do 2 trades a day.
>>56859876it's not super rare but if you get the cards to build the mewtwo/gardevoir deck then yeah probably
>>56859707I did it multiple times easily with Blastoise deck.
>>56859869that includes the odds to pull it multiple times, not just minimum of once.so the scant case where you pull one literally all 60 pulls is balancing out the cases where you never pull it ever, etc.
>>56859875they clarified that trading wouldnt be available at launch since hte first trailer that came out in february, take off your tinfoil hat anon>>56859869you are really dumb arent you?if odds are 1/60 and you have infinite pulls then you will get 1 of that card every 60 packsyou dont have infinite pulls of packs as an individual, but you dont do 60/180 and are done with it eitheryou will have many many pulls, and while sometimes you will get closer that 180 like you said, many times you will get that 60 or even the 1and overall your average will get closer to that statistical mean of 1/60 for specific 4 diamonds
>>56859897>trading wouldnt be available at launch since hte first trailer that came out in februaryIt was never my insinuation to begin with that they 'forgot' to add trading, I literally said it was deliberate that they kept it off of launch, so you bringing up that it's pre-meditated is the same page I've already been on
>confident with my deck (just missing a card. Proxy'd with a fossil)>queued up random match (TCG player)>still 15 expDamn, I suppose I can at least hang out with the cool kids
>>56859907of course it was deliberatepeople will spend more if there is no tradingits just to squeeze every penny out of the normies that will only be playing for a few wekksbut that does not mean there is nothing wrong with trading, on the contrary, it means that its F2P friendly since it makes people spend less money
I GOT CHARIZARD EX AND 2 STAR ART MOLTRES EX IN THE SAME 10 PULL YET AFTER THE TONS OF PULLS I DIDNT GET A SINGLE FROAKIE OR GRENINJAI LIKE WATER TYPES, I USE RAIN TEAMS IN NORMAL GAMES STOP GIVING ME RARE FIRE STUFF AND JUST GIVE ME THE WATER MONS I WANTED
>>568598890 Gardevior and no Sabrina and Giovanni but I just got a second Marowak EX so I can atleast make a cope deck with it.
They are gonna make trading convoluted anyway since they wouldn't want players to make smurf accounts just to farm cards infinitely
>>56859878>I've yet to see any proofYou can see for yourself lolset up a burner account on another phone
>>56859876It's alright. gold crowns are keepers, immersions are common once you play moreif your aim is rerolling, defs go for a gold crown instead
game needs a dark mode
>>56859934Can't you still do that with arranged battles
how do these free event wonder picks work?they seem to refresh at random times
>>56859945all i know if you miss enough free packs, you get a pity chansey pack that you can pay to roll
>>56859921The important distinction in that is that they could have launched with how trading worked fully disclosed and they didn't, they didn't need to make trading outright accessible (e.g. could have launched with it there but just denied a sufficient pace of resources to perform a trade early on, that you'd have to physically wait out for) but they didn't even want to say how it worked, which is indicative that there's something they either want to hide or potentially modify last-minute as a response to how launch goes
>>56859880Given that this is the greediest response it’s probably the most correct guess
I'm gonna wonder pick for a chance to get a Kogawhich card do I pick
>brick 4 games in a row, slow death despite trying to play it out>queue another>great hand, set a full board, sweep the game>realize it's because my opponent bricked >two more bricked games>finally a game where neither person bricks. Back to back, is fun. 15 turns later I'm set to win in 3 turns>enemy slow-plays the timer for the next forever>eventually win but feel bad>queue another>we both brickI just don't understand how a game with a 20 card deck, a basic searcher, and a draw 2, can feel so fucking inconsistent but holy hell does it feel bad.
I assume you don't want to spend stamina on 1 WP batch, but what about 2 WP batch with 1 3-Diamond card?
>>56859940It's by design, light mode keep you awake and playing longer, dark mode will be made available for premium users.
>>56859966Stop making decks that brick
>>56859957They're making three million dollars a day. I don't think we're getting trade in any reasonably satisfying form any time soon.
>>56859930I'm in the same boat>4 Charizard ex>3 Moltrex ex>2 Machamp ex>0 Starmie ex and 0 Greninjas
>>56859969I just spend stamina if I want the card or notamounts or rarity be damnedit helps that I very rarely want cards
>>56859964top right
>>56859966how bad is your deck??? remove a line of pokemon if you keep getting stage 1 and 2s
>>56859966Needs Skills like Duel LinksThey tried to copy DL by making a lite version of the Pokemon TCG but forgot about the Skills
>>56859971Every deck bricks. Even the best decks in the game right now feel like a starter deck out of the box
I think we won't even get trade until we're 2-3 sets deep
Doood
>>56859984I am a believer in the Top Right
>>56859996I don't believe this is real. Wonder Pick is rigged.
>>56859957and whats the problem with that?they just want to maximize profits at launch when userbase is at its highestonly reason not to launch with trading or disclose how it works would be that it makes people spend less, which means its very F2P friendly
>>56859996>nearly sexy quads>filthy bottom lefteryikes.. happy for you but yikers!
>>56859996>>56859999The TR and BL wars continueof course TRCHADS get quads
>>56860007They're making three million dollars a day
>>56859966what are you playing?it doesnt sound optimized
>>56860013yes, whats your point?that they should open trading or specifcy how it works and make less because 3 million is too much?
>>56859978Their other Pokemon app, Pokemon Masters, made like 26 million in its first week iirc and then the devs winded up putting out an apology letter in the same month addressing complaints that there's nothing to do with the game, where the initial energy of its launch died down and the vast majority of content creators abandoned it after like a monthIf this game turns out like that for a 2nd time then GF/TPCi is truly stupid for letting DeNA operate these mobile games
>>56859999top rightisalways right
>play casually>just want to completely my pokedex>do the bot fights>start seething when the AI cheatsI'm trying so hard to be F2P but these fights are really getting under my skin. I haven't even fought a human, because I know I will lose.
>>56860061>losing to AIJust give up. I beat them all without issue using the starter pinser deck
Man Dugtrio can really feel unfair if you get your coin flips (but I do, I’m the unfair one)
Trading will probably beCrown <-> Crown3 Star <-> 3 Staretc <-> etcI doubt I could trade my ratatta for a crown mewtwo.
>>56860007>they just want to maximize profits at launch when userbase is at its highestThat just sounds like trading would introduce more reason to not bother with the game, which is what I'm getting atYou're dressing it up as economic which is really just misleadingIt's like asking what's the problem with accepting down payments on a car after only putting out how the car looks while withholding how it drives/specs
>>56860075that along with premium only and timed trade tokens yeahthey won't let reroll accounts ruin their economy
>>56860075devs confirmed it is that wayand UI shows that you can only trade 1 card for 1 cardand logic dictates that you will need 3 or more copies of the same card to trade like with flairsto not mess with dex completion or built decks
>>56860080>That just sounds like trading would introduce more reason to not bother with the gamewhy would that be the case?sounds like you are trying to find reasons to hate the game, just stop playing if you dont enjoy it anon
>>56860089>and logic dictates that you will need 3 or more copies of the same card to trade like with flairsWhat is this jewery? I don't want my immersive charizard. Give me a machamp full art.
>>56860075It'd be pretty lame though since I have a shit ton of Marowak EX I want to trade off but I don't really need that many other EX mons, mostly just shit like FA Dragonite and Gardevoir
First 15 packs and I didn't get shit except a second wack. Do I keep this account instead of rerolling? I'm aiming for weezing/dragonite or Gard but I'll take anything I can at least make a semi functional something
He conceded
>>56860093I mentioned >>56860029 here what happened with the launch of Masters, I'm very accustomed to how DeNA operates but am trying to give them a 2nd chance because a TCG is much better to be able to manage than units (what you summon for in Masters), I enjoy the account I have but don't want to see an unfulfilled game full of low energy, missed opportunities, and unnecessarily foul baiting and switching
Quick question since I noticed there a new Mankey card with different attack from event, for deck building is the card restriction two of any of same name card ie can I have 1 event Mankey card and 1 old Mankey in the same deck? Or they're counted separately?
>>56860089Do you have any picture of the trading UI or was that some pre release event thing?
>>56860103Complete your advanced missions if you haven't, I swear you should have more than just 15 packs from those and leveling.Also your first EX mon is guaranteed from your first pack, same with full artChar gets Eggy and Pikachu gets uh something
>>56860103hmm reroll until you get atleast two important cards of the deck like dragonite and wheezing so the rest you can try wonderpickingalso only 15 packs? try to open more
>>56860124Pika gets A9
Do these recover event stamina (solo) items roll over?
>>56860110As he should have.The only way he wins is if he has both kadabra and alakazam and pumps all energies into it. He'll lose mime after fully evolving with 3 energies for the attack.If he doesn't have the evos he loses.
>>56860117it was in the old trailer
>Lapras and Rapidash are my only 1* mons above 2Would anyone be willing to trade Slowpokes for this?
>>56860089flairbros in shambles

>doing advanced solo missions now that I have decks for all types>get denied the 3-KO mission cause the AI sent out their Blastoise EX secondThat’s pretty annoying lmao. Also you get so many shop tickets from these I almost don’t want to spend them so I can hoard.
>>56860162>I almost don’t want to spend them so I can hoard.Why?
>>56860189What if there’s a deck on the future with a mon I want? Snorlax EX would be a dream.
whats a good wigglytuff ex deck?
>>56859936>still can't provide any proof
>Have the required gold to open 10 packs>It says I don't>mfwThe fuck gives?
>>56860203Then stay retarded I guess
>Same rarity can tradeI'm gonna need to start heavily rerolling alt accounts to maybe get one with 3 full art Sabrinas.
>>56860197Oh, you're talking about the pack points.
>>56860208You need the amount you have plus the amount the game is showing you. It's saying "You need THIS much more."
Which tier of the event is good for getting a clefairy? That's the only one missing from my collection
>>56860214Expert is the only one that guarantees a drop. I don't think the difficulties have any sway in which card you get from the pack.
Why did they make it so you have to keep logging on to see the event Wonder Picks? This is a stupid way to do things, should've just had a separate event area where they can accrue over time without being checked on and then you could do them all at once
>>56860209Says the retard that can't prove his claims lol
>>56860212Ohhh, I didn't see that. Thanks bro.
>>56860220Are you playing all day? Just log in a couple times.
>>56860222Back to you pal
I don't believe charmeleon exists based on the fact that I've never seen one in a pack or even in wonder picks.
>>56860230I've got nothing to prove. You're the one making retarded claims.
pokemon trading card game pocket
>>56860225Well there's no timer for this event to tell me when to log in and they reappear very frequently for some reason, it's like this game is giving me mixed signals
>>56859966I had the same thoughts on the game a while back but ultimately you have to just reframe your thinking. I come from competitive pokemon where any substantial enough hax is usually Really Fucking Gay and a huge setback, but here it's just part of the game. It definitely feels unsatisfying to just deckroll a guy from turn 1 with everything you need set up, but if it were for a ranked match or tournament with prizes, you'd take it, especially because it will go against you at some point as well. If your opp starts off well when you brick and you stay in the game for a while (even if you continue to get bad luck) then it means you outplayed him. You'll have that odd game here and there when you play your way out of a hole and the shit you need actually appears 4th or 5th from the bottom instead of being the very last card(s), and it's the best feeling in the world
Aww shit here we go again
>>56860245It's a card you already have two of
>>56860245>2 energy 20 damageWhat were they thinking!?
>>56860236You've got your retarded headcanon to proveIf people tell you something and how to do it, yet you want to be spoonfed more, whose fault is it?
Question: I have my premium pack at a certain time. I would like to set one of my 2 daily packs at the same time as the premium pack. How would I go about doing that?Would I need to wait for the premium pack time and drop hourglasses for a pack? Would I need to drop hourglasses for 2 packs instead since 2 packs a day? Would I need to just put off my twice a day pulls until the time matches my premium pull? What's the least self-harmful way to go about it?
>>56860266let the 2 pack cap out then wait until it matches with the premium
>>56860257To be fair, you almost never want it in the active spot unless it’s close to getting the energies for Aracanine’s attacks>t. has multiple Arcanine EX and it’s the only fire deck I have
>>56860245Add me if it's a Slowpoke, bro.
PVE is kinda boring. I hope they make cracked out fights against cards not available to players. Like, boss Pokemon or some shit.
Kinda wish this game had animations for the attacks (that you can disable ofc) instead of just the cards doing a little jump. Might make the rarer art cards and flair tiers a bit cooler.
>>56860266I think premium needs 48 hours to max. So you can probably>day 1, spend hourglass when premium is up so the daily hour is aligned close to the premium hour>wait until 48 hours and spend a daily pack every time you're close to have two except when 48th hour is near
Post your binders bros
This will take forever to buy. You need so many for each of the things in the shop too. I think I'm just gonna hoard these and wait for a set that I really care about.
>>56860300That's the currency to buy monthly hourglasses with right? Wow that's quite expensive.
>>56860300What does it do?
>>56860259>You've got your retarded headcanon to proveNo, I've got nothing to prove.

If there was a Onix EX, a deck comprising of Sandslash, Dugtrio, and Onyx with Brock for support would be pretty busted I think. I mean, it’s already pretty strong now.

>>56860457>tfw not enough Caterpies/Weedles to make this deckI feel like the basic stages are rarer than the evolutions...
>>56860466Mewtoo. Yeah I see what y'all mean about Planeta CGs. It would feel better if this had artwork instead of a cheapass stock model.
There are so many ◊◊◊ I want, but they seem the hardest to get. I'm pretty much never getting Omastar.
>>56860493Yeah feels good to pull because you know how rare it is but to someone without a reference frame for its value it just comes across as whatever.
>>56860416>liligantHow do you even play her? It feels bad whether if you go first or second
>everyone in pvp is asianThis sucks. I figured I could find good wonder pick friends here, but I don’t want cards in other languages. My special brand of retardation will not allow it.
>>56860498>There are so many ◊◊◊ I want, but they seem the hardest to get. I'm pretty much never getting Omastar.All I've wanted for days is Kang but I keep opening worthless cards like Charizard EX and Moltres EX instead. It's maddening.
>>56860511It kind of sucks, but it's all I have right now due to a lack of Exeggutor Ex. As for how to use it, you just give her an energy and pump Bulb/Ivy/Venusaur as fast and hard as possible. Jam that green Lilligant cum into the plant toad's malleable energy hole. You sac the Lilligant so you can get Venusaur going hard and fast.Does it work? Sometimes. Your opponent pretty much needs to brick.
>>56860519>All I've wanted for days is Kang but I keep opening worthless cards like Charizard EX and Moltres EX instead. It's maddening.bitch at least you're opening something so you have trade fodder even if you don't like them, been pulling only dead off the mewtwo pack and it's getting on my nerves
>>56860515That is only cosmetic for displays, it'll show in your collection as the language you set as your main
>>56860515Bro there's dozens of us in the first post of the thread. We even have art least 5 confirmed pay pigs
>>56860519Charizard/Moltres is the third best deck according to tournament results. It's considered Tier 1.
>>56860515I don't think that's how that works. I pulled a wonderpick from a Japanese player and I got an English card.
>>56860466Somebody's gotta get heads, right? Not my exeggutor or pinsir though.
How many complete decks do you have? By that, I mean decks that you wouldn't really change anything in given our current card pool. I only have two so far, but I'm close to completing a couple more.
Can't use my Surge cards to get the three diamond bonuses from the missions because my only electrodes are full art. I'd have to pull two functionally identical electrodes to use them. It's fucking dumb.
>>56860552Zero, but I’m 1-2 cards away from completing like seven decks I want. Fuck me I guess
>>5686055210 because I just deleted Centiscorch deck for being ass. I could make the 18T Articuno deck too but I'm not a scumbag.
>>56859515fuckers trying to go back to the age of Marvel cards being like SO SILVER and shit
>>56860552Zero. Waiting on charmeleon and I could run charizard/moltres.
60 pulls, this is all the game has to offer for free right now without using the Lapras drops. Just Charizard. The second Moltres EX never dropped. Not even a single Charmeleon. 300 dust coins. This is an alt.
>>56860126>>56860124How many should I open before I call the reroll?
>>56859561i don't remember if i friended iownpeople, i think i just saw that guy randomly in there
>>56860563I heard something about golden foil being actually super expensive to make in real life and that being the reason why cards look like that. But in this digital game they're like "Here's your CG Pokemon just standing there in a default pose CROWN RARE, or you can have the stinky hand-drawn, animated full art card with cool poses and action if you're a fucking peasant." and it doesn't really work.
>>56859670is the Lapras any good? I got 5 so i got it the splashy effect
>>56860580the initial 240 easy packs (20) should be enough to tell if you keep pulling for the remaining stuff that you have to actually play more to snatch, around 40 packs worth.
Pro tip: learn how sleep works lmao
>>56860588I refuse.
So this is what powercreep looks like in pokemon tcg
>>56860586It's Articuno EX lite, for those that want the 18T deck experience with Misty but never pulled Mew2
>>56860588I have severe insomnia tho
We did it, Reddit! This is the good one too
>>56860584I like it better that way. At least the actually good looking cards are attainable by non-mega whales or luckchads.
>>56860591Since I like you I'll just let you know that you can't retreat your Pokemon if it's sleeping. You can Koga it however.
>>56860600>not crownedWhy even bother with that plebian trash?
>>56860605Sorry bro but the full art cards look better than the crown ones
>>56860603Another win for Weezing
>>56860552Charizard and Pikachu as my top tier ones doneKoga for funArticuno for trying to snipe early wins (e.g. win in 12 turns or less)Venusaur and Marowak (don't really use much)Pidgeot and Alakazam (just because double full art)Only started on launch last week and I'm F2PCurrently working on the Mewtwo pack to build Mewtwo and Dragonite
>>56860603Weezing chads win again...
>>56860563At least pay a nigga to draw the monster if you're gonna make it the hundred dollar chase piece. Real 2D monster artwork can still be foiled and layered over a tacky monochromatic copy pasted excuse for a background too.
>>56860610>Koga for funBro, haven't you been watching the tournaments? Every one has at least one Weezing Arbok deck and multiple support Weezings. That's solid rogue deck tier. It's basically tier 1.
>>56860601Oh, I agree with that. The immersive cards are actually the thing that would be impossible outside of a digital game, so I'm glad they're common enough to be attainable by pretty much everyone. I just find it funny that the rarest cards are so bad. Even the regular CG full art cards are rarer than the immersive (individually, at least) and they're not nearly as cool. Hell, most of the one star ones absolutely mog the shitty CG two star and crown rares.
>>56860593Why do all the teras I see require a retarded mix of three random energies? Does SV TCG really run three energies a deck? That sounds awful.
>end of this monthLmao prepare to be sleep-haxxed
>>56860624running multiple energies isn't a big deal when you have cards that pull 10 energy out of your deck
>>56860619When I think of it I just think fun because I like the neat way Koga plays where it's an unorthodox playstyle that happens to work out, plus I have a full art Koga that feels nice to put to useStill undecided though if I'd want to trade it away or trade to get a 2nd one, since I like the deck but part of the appeal is the 'budget' feel to it
>>56860628WigglyWeez is going to cause so much salt.
>>56860619yes, they have multiple of themand none of them performthe only decks that consistently make top cuts are pikachu, mewtwo and charizard
>>568605528 that i usebeen playing since the soft launch and f2p
>>56860642I don't get how Alakazam isn't a top performer. He can OHKO most things at their relevant energy breakpoints, especially when you consider Giovanni.
>>56860642The deck is consistent. The pnly thing it's missing is a solid dark EX.
>>568605520I have no idea how people are throwing around the idea of the competitive format being bo5 conquest or anything like that. It's so fucking difficult and expensive to obtain cards and it's only going to get worse as they add more sets.
>>568606603 emergy without acceleration is too slowmain attacker is stage 2mewtwo and charizard can 1HKO and discard energy when they attack so they do not get revenge killed
>>56860660because it is 2 stage that needs 3 energy and the energy supplier is also 2 stages. It has to rely in some form of stall to perform.
>>56860664yes, and if i had wheels id be a wagonif metal had a solid metal ex itwould be good, if figfhting had a solid basic ex it would be goodwhat they could be doesnt matter, what they are does
>>56860665maybe because duel links handles it like that
IF YOU'RE STILL IN LINE TO LIKE YOUR FRIENDS' SHOWCASES, STAY IN LINE
Dang it
>>56860679How do I like a showcase?
>>56860682>top rightAlways bottom right, you'll be all right.
>>56860665How do you think they'll handle new sets in terms of f2p? I don't have the widest experience but this game feels a lot more front loaded than other gacha I've played.
What is the brown box in the daily gift?
>>56860694Damn, I'm sorry you missed that Mewtwo EX
>>56860697Hopefully another massive influx of hourglasses. I would be okay missing on meta decks, but I'd be sad if I miss out on full art of my favorites.
>>56860697New set of offline battles for a bunch of hourglasses
>>56860697We already know they're going to give us a new set of PvE missions for every new set. That gives you hourglasses and shop tickets.Other than that, speculation.
>>56860697it won't be as big is the initial rush and and then you'll be chasing the new set and likely still some of the old setfast forward 3-4 sets and your resources are going to be really divided
>dragonite deck>kanga always steals mvpHow is mvp even calculated?
>>56859088I remember dropping it when they locked passives behind 5/5.I'll just play pocket casually, since I got burned with masters.
So I've played MtG since before the Pokemon TCG came to the US. I collected cards but was never really interested. This is the first time I'm actually playing the card game. It's way more simplistic than I thought it would be, but it's kinda comfy.
>>56860624that's supposed to be part of their balancing.very strong, hard to fuel.
>>56860718pocket is not representative of the pokemon tcg
Hahaha, what are the chances Id get this after shit pulls? I did want that Erika doe.
>want to open packs>already have mew>no point of whaling and topping upAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MINISET WHERE U AT
>>56860716Somewhere between doing the most damage while being the active pokemon
>>56860718it's been heavily simplified.Pocket is the Yugioh Duel Links of pokemon.
>>56860733>all 2'sPOST FRIEND CODE NIGGA
>>56860726>>56860741Ah okay.
>>56860734Those flairs won't buy themselves bro
>>56860733Hoping that's me eventually, been getting trash after trash like I'm on a shit streak these past few days, congrats
>>56860718It's a zero-interaction game. No instants, no counters, no trap cards, no negates. It's two guys taking turns playing solitaire and sitting on their hands when it's the other player's move. You literally can't do a single thing on an opponent's turn except for that one Gen 4 card that never got reprinted.That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's absolutely different from MTG or Yugioh where 99% of the gameplay is stopping your opponent from having fun on their own turn.If you enjoy it, you could also check out the Bandai TCGs (One Piece, Digimon, DBZ), or Vanguard. They're also in the same vein.
>>56860742Sure5873476835344702
>>56860733>>56860749Adding you as well, kind of hoping for the Charmander
>>56860749added, they never show up tho kek
>>56860580Hmm well I got gard and a 3 star mewteo that should be worth to keep playing
>>56860747>If you enjoy it, you could also check out the Bandai TCGs (One Piece, Digimon, DBZ), or Vanguard. They're also in the same vein.I enjoy it as a game on my phone that I open up and can either play or let the computer play. I don't think I'd pick up the card game. I don't even really play Magic that much nowadays, but its ingrained in my DNA at this point so all card games will always be compared to Magic for me. Shout outs to Netrunner though, that one was cool.
>>56860733>>56860756Don't think this works with rare packs but hope I'm proven wrong.
>>56860773Someone posted a Wonder Pick with a rare pack before. As long as there's nothing over two stars, it can show up.
>>56860773It does, just not packs that contain 3 star or crown rarity, I've gotten a rare pack in WP before
>>56860697From my experience with online tcgs, you'll end up having to focus on only one(and maybe two) decks per expansion as a f2p. For niche decks, you're gonna be better off making alt accounts instead of spreading your resources wide.I played Shadowverse and Master Duel before, but I don't think TPC will be as generous.
>>56860773Did you already approve the add? Not showing it on my end
>>56860670Metal is a meme and a good EX won't save it. Fighting has a good EX but it's shit stomped by Mewtwo EX so that doesn't matter
Finally. The cat dragged something good back to the house
Meowth stuff in 2 days, make sure you have 22 tickets for sleeve/playmat/coin/icon
>>56860800I have exactly 22 funnily enough, just checked

>>56860800>only 22I guess I can stop checking now. Thanks
Is there any difference between 10 pull and 1 pull here? I remember Mastersex giving an extra for 10 pulls.
>>56860718>>56860743differences:>60 card deck, 4 copies>5 bench spaces>energy are in the deck and must be drawn, thus you can mana-screw/mana-flood>no supporters or attacking first turn, but can play energy>6 points to win. 6 cards are randomly selected facedown from your deck to represent these points, and when you win the associated point you get to draw that card.>a significantly larger portion of creature cards have 2 attacks.>way more draw power and tutoring. real Oak is a wheel of fortune. Most ball cards aren't random. Pocket's item cards are legit atrocious by ptcg standards. Normally half of any given deck will be things to get stuff into your hand or back out of the grave.>there's an exile zone. only certain sets interact with it though, it's not an evergreen mechanic.>GX/Vstar attack/abilities, 1/match supermove, also not evergreen. Still surprised they haven't been combined into a single resource yet, in the same way "Rules Box" pokemon finally got a generic term for futureproofing.
>>56860814you can't hunt bent packs in 10s (they're real btw don't believe nonbelievers)
>>56860807The Wonder Hourglasses though
>>56860804Thanks, bro.
>>56860819Pls no bully
did anybody get anon's rare pack to show in wp? nothing for me so far...

>>56860828Nah. I don't know if you can get a wonder pick from someone you just added, but I'd imagine that if you can, you'd have to wait for the refresh anyway.
Give me this playmat, DeNA
>>56860843mmmm, fair. fair.
>>56860841>Venusaur event coming upNevermind GF loves me
Bros, I need help. I keep using this deck and it's surprisingly good but I never run into meta decks to test it out. It likely dies to pika but I wonder how it does against other decks. It's the water version of Lilligant/Vileplume from another anon but it's so fast and switching is even more important. Please try it and report back.
This looks tame compared to the shit we're dealing with
>>56860867thats going to get raped so hard by charizard lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecAvYNSrM1QHARD PROOF PACK CONTENTS ARE DETERMINED THE MOMENT YOU BUY THEMBENT/BACKWARDS PACK MEANS NOTHING. THE WHEEL IS PURELY COSMETIC.
>>56860872>needing charizard against the AIlmao even
I feel like ever since I found out all the packs are predetermined, all my pulls have been shit
>>56860879I genuinely have no idea how people are struggling with the event with how retarded the ai is
>>56860890You stopped believing. The bent pack wasn't on the code. It was in your heart.
>>56860895Because the AI can still highroll you with turn 1 Misty and they almost always get their Starmie ready to spin. It's mostly about the individual cards' power than anything else
>>56860895They get insane pulls, m8.
>>56860874I don't know why you would doubt that. I'm still gonna spin them like a roulette wheel to pick my pack though.
>>56860912>high roll>doesnt concede immediately and restart the battle
>>56860906>The bent pack wasn't on the code.I didn't even search for bent packs, just whatever pack felt right in general
>>56860936Based heart of the cards anon
>got Godpack anon on my WP>Not the Godpack I wonder if you need to be friends with someone before they roll a pack to see it.
>another charizard EX (full art)Bro, just give me a machamp reee
>>56860943>>I wonder if you need to be friends with someone before they roll a pack to see it.i think this might be it
>>56860933Why are (you) moving the goalpost now?
>>56860949Moving the goal post? You're utterly retarded if you keep battling the AI after they high roll Misty. Just fucking restart the match. It costs literally nothing.
>>56860945Alright, nvm game. You do you.
I don't know what booster to focus on (I'm casual)Here's a picture for ants
>>56860857I think your energy costs are way too high for what you're trying to do. 2 energy, 2 energy, 3 energy. It's too much. I'd swap out something for a Seaking if you have it. Probably Frosmoth, it just feels like a bad Dugtrio to me. Regular Starmie, Farfetch'd, Mienshao, or Dodrio are also okay picks. Just something with a low energy cost and preferably a lot of HP, which is why I suggest Seaking.Water decks kind of struggle because all the good cards are in different packs, so you can't even make a good budget deck because e.g. Tentacruel, Seaking, and Starmie are all in different places. It's really annoying.
>>56860998Zard for marowack deck.
>>56861001Marowak is in mewtwo pack
>>56861015You're right. I forgot I got both of mine in just two packs.
>>56860806It won't be because you need a scyther at first. Which means grass energy. You can't tell the game to not send you grass energy.
>>56861020I could see one of the gen 2 steel evolutions having an ability that says "on evolution, all non-metal energy on this card becomes metal"maybe not scizor but steelix or a steelix ex for sure since onix is even costlier
>>56861020You can set the deck to only provide specific energy
>>56861015So I pull Mewtwo again?
>>56861039That's the direction I would go.
>>56860979>lmao this event is easy>d-doesn't count!Concession accepted
>>56860927There's a LOT of people that doubt that. wishful thinking mostly.
>>56861028all it actually needs is just a colorless attack cost.
>2 starex 2 greninja 1 cunoThis good?
She's a treasure
>>56861107GIWTWM
7 fucking mankeys before I got a lapras
>>56861129Mankey is better though
>>56861129I'm on my 11th Clefairy. Still no Lapras.
>>56861129>>56861136This is why I'll continue to farm the Chansey and Lapras events, so I could have some cards to exchange for the next update if some people missed them.
>>56861136I'm at 3 Lapras and 0 mankey...
If Lapras ex didn’t need 3 fucking energy for retreating it would at least be decent for tanking.
I like weezing and arbok for a poison deck, but muk seems kinda shit. 3 energy seems like a lot for venoshock with how easy it is to swap out with poison.
how do you get those supposed 50 packs at the start of the game? I got like 20 so far, and now in solo battle you only get 2 sandclocks per battle. that's hardly gonna amount to more than 5 more packs.
>1 lapras ex>1 articuno exCan this hybrid work?
>>56861162you buy out your shop with the tranny colored coins
>>5686116318 trainers? sure why not
Can immersive cards show up in wonderpick?
I stopped using the birb but it sure has lots of memes
>>568611723 gold stars, noonly 2 and below
>>56861182I thought that might've been the limit, ah well. I pulled Pikachu and wanted to share it if possible.
>>56861162I wasn't really paying attention, but I did the flare thing a couple times then it gave me like ~10 packs worth of energy.
>>56861184flare thing?
This "game" worth playing if im not a collector autist?how's it compare to Snap for example can you just pick up and play the game whenever with a wide variety of decks (at casual level)
>>56861198If you have multiple copies of a card you can spend the shine dust and a copy of the card to give it a special animation when you play it.
>>56861200It's far far far more generous than snap and i don't think they will nerf and kill archetypes out of nowhere like snap devs does every other weekand there's not even a ranked mode so its super casual right now
So uhh... what's the point of going first? Seems kinda bad. Am I retarded?
how the fuck do i do the 10 pack pull withe just the pokegold itself and not use any hourglasses? its forcing me to use them
>>56861213yeah dude i hate that it fucks up my daily pack times LMAO
>>56861213I think you can't, because the pokegold can be bought with actual money, so they "force" you to use the hourglasses first.
>>56861212You get to evolve first so right now it's only really good for Pokemon with Stage 1 evolutions with 1 energy cost attacks like Rapidash and Exeggutor ex, otherwise going second seems generally stronger.
>>56861221which is weird because you can set a custom amount (all hourglass/all gold or a mixture of both) for wonder picks if you want to refill
rerolling in this game is annoying as fuck with how slow everything is and how many screens you need to click through to open a booster with hourglasses and then after opening it.
>unusable>cool art thosuch many cases..
>>56861257Just high roll Misty bro.
>>56861136I have 3 lapras ex and ZERO clefairy. Wtf is this game?!!??
>>56860733This finally showed up in my Wonder Picks. I got the Charmander, unfortunately. Thanks anyway, dude. At least now this confirms that adding someone after they've opened one of these packs works.
>>56861308Oshiiit cool
what deck conveys the feeling of a true American patriot?
>>56861342Major Bob
>>56861312Yeah, knowing more about what can be done with this is useful info. I'm really, really salty about getting Charmander, though. That's legit the only card I didn't want to pull.
>>56861228you can?
>>56861349>>56861349Yup, bottom right buttonYou can even custom amount refill for the event tokens, but not for packs

>>56861484>>56861484Didn't mean to reply there, sorry. Kinda drunk.
>>56861478Arbok/Weezing a solid rogue that also has the benefit of being ◊◊◊ rarity or lower. Which makes it cheap to build and good for the low rarity solo missions. Weezing is also in the same packs as Mewtwo, so going for Mewtwo also builds Arbok/Weezing. Mewtwo packs also hive you Dragonite, another low rarity but high power deck and Venusaur EX, which is tier 2. Oh, and Marowak. Which is the best budget deck. Conversely, the pika packs pretty much only give you Pikachu. If you want quality, Pikachu is largely believed to be the best deck. On the other hand Mewtwo offers a wide range of decks of varying tiers as well as Mewtwo EX himself which is the second best deck right now. It's also worth mentioning that Gardevoir is a top tier support mon that will for sure see play for a long time even if Mewtwo gets power crept. Charizard has, well, Charizard. Strong deck for sure. It also has the pieces for other decks in it. And it has Blaine aggro, another strong budget deck. If you want a meta water deck it's pieces are spread evenly between all three packs so you better get ready to whale for it if you want it.
>>56860511Get energies on her, use her to ramp up Venu, Erika if you need the extra sustain, sac/retreat when Venu is stacked, ball out. It's not incredible, but it's something much more important: fun.

DAS RITEThis is literally the only Wonder Pick where I haven't been fucked over. I'm so unlucky with it.
I had to dust my second Garde, but found out I only have 1 RALTZ after 300 pack points worth of pulls. I'm going to start grinding for Sabrina in the Charizard packs and just dust that Raltz whore.
Whats the deal with the "win with 3 or less diamond rarity cards in your deck" mission? Are you not allowed to use trainers like Pokeball or Professor's Research or Potion?
>>56861478PikaDos is problematic to build, if you don't get a Pika and a Zapdos you'll have to contend with 100 garbage cards. At least in the Mewtwo pack the consolation prizes are still decent to cope with.
I feel good about this. One more to go.
>>56861629Should just mean no pokemon ex
Is there nothing to do with surplus cards except use them to make the card sparkly? At least Hearthstone had the disenchanting feature...

>>56861657Considering I've had my showcase up since the start (only a couple days ago, but still) and only a single person gives me a like on that, I felt I should at least ask.
>>56861664Same, none of my friends liked it except one (well I have like 9 total to be honest lol), but just today I got 6 from randos. Maybe I got featured or something.
>>56861643I don't see that Charizard EX, but the Bulbasaur full art. I guess it will show up later, but thanks for accepting my request.
I dunno why you wouldn't bother liking everything, tbqh. It's the old supermarket test all over again.
