Funnily 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.

It's not the most general use card, but it's not a trap either. You just need to pick your spots.

Red 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 decks
Why is it always middle evos
>>
>>56859162
It 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.

Pokemon 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.

yeah 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.
>>
>>56859119
Does 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.
>>
>>56859314
They literally mention in the game that they're open to modifying things to maintain a fair and balanced environment

>>56859343
I'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.
>>
>>56859381
Judging 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
>>
>>56859178
god i miss breeder/rare candy
>>
>>56859381
Rotating 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.
>>
>>56859383
could you link where they say that? would be an interesting think to have verified.
>>56859381
you 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.

Without 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.
>>
>>56859430
Interesting, 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 environment
makes 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.

>>56859476
It'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.
>>
>>56859480
i 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.
>>
>>56859448
That's it. Maybe in the future trading, but who knows.
>>
>>56859483
Yeah I haven't gotten any good cards in all of my Wonder Picks. I am pretty sure it's weighted too.
>>
>>56859489
I 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.
>>
>>56859425
I'm actually not finding anything. Weird.
>>
>>56859488
Shit 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.
>>
>>56859274
You'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
>>
>>56859505
the 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 prizes
Again, 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.

>>56859521
Blaine 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)

the 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).
>>
>>56859527
And 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

>>56859532
Not 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

I guess this is where I ask which one is the best one?
>>
>>56859436

>>56859549
so 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.
>>56859552
best 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.
>>
>>56859522
They 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.

>>56859614

eh
>>
>>56859614
that is just not right

for example regular 4 diamond mewtwo has
0.333% in 4th slot
and 1.332 in 5th slot

for a combined 1.665% per pack
tha means that opening mewtwo packs on average nets you one 4 diamond mewtwo every 60 packs

and that is not counting the 2 star mewtwo, the 3 star mewtwo and the crown mewtwo


ifk 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

not 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 mewtwo
It's by rarity, there's no calc on the sheet for combined rarities of different cards.

They 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.

of course its not additive you moron
its ON AVERAGE

if you open 100.000 packs on average you will get 1 mewtwo 4 star every 60 packs

just like if you flip coins on average you get heads 50% of the time (unless its misty)

>>56859634
Expectations 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.
>>
>>56859740
hopefully trading will be locked to cards of similar rarity levels

hopefully

>I'm a bent pack chad btw

The cards you pulled are in your collection before you even open the pack.

>>56859811
They'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
>>
>>56859811
it'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.
>>
>>56859833
right, and the odds to hit a specific 4 diamond rare over 60 packs is 63%.
>>
>>56859825
>Each pack has its own contents
Have 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.

no, if you open infinite packs then the odds of getting that 4 diamond card every 60 packs is 100%

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.

>>56859854
I've yet to see any proof for that other than someone saying "dude trust me" on reddit.
>>
>>56859862
All 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.
>>
>>56859862
You 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.
>>
>>56859875
Not 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.
>>
>>56859839
option 1: trading is classic nintendo style, friend code only trading
option 2: trading is modern GF style, put card up and what you want for it

The 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.
>>
>>56859876
it's not super rare but if you get the cards to build the mewtwo/gardevoir deck then yeah probably
>>
>>56859707
I did it multiple times easily with Blastoise deck.
>>
>>56859869
that 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.
>>
>>56859875
they clarified that trading wouldnt be available at launch since hte first trailer that came out in february, take off your tinfoil hat anon


>>56859869
you 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 packs

you dont have infinite pulls of packs as an individual, but you dont do 60/180 and are done with it either

you 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 1

and 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 february
It 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

>queued up random match (TCG player)
>still 15 exp
Damn, I suppose I can at least hang out with the cool kids
>>
>>56859907
of course it was deliberate
people will spend more if there is no trading

its just to squeeze every penny out of the normies that will only be playing for a few wekks

but 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

The 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

I 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

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?
>>
>>56860266
let the 2 pack cap out then wait until it matches with the premium

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.

I think premium needs 48 hours to max. So you can probably

All I've wanted for days is Kang but I keep opening worthless cards like Charizard EX and Moltres EX instead. It's maddening.
>>
>>56860511
It 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.

I 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.

Oh, 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.

3 emergy without acceleration is too slow
main attacker is stage 2
mewtwo and charizard can 1HKO and discard energy when they attack so they do not get revenge killed

It'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.

>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.

Someone posted a Wonder Pick with a rare pack before. As long as there's nothing over two stars, it can show up.

>>56860773
It does, just not packs that contain 3 star or crown rarity, I've gotten a rare pack in WP before

>>56860697
From 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.

Is there any difference between 10 pull and 1 pull here? I remember Mastersex giving an extra for 10 pulls.
>>
>>56860718
>>56860743
differences:
>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.

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.

I feel like ever since I found out all the packs are predetermined, all my pulls have been shit
>>
>>56860879
I genuinely have no idea how people are struggling with the event with how retarded the ai is
>>
>>56860890
You stopped believing. The bent pack wasn't on the code. It was in your heart.
>>
>>56860895
Because 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
>>
>>56860895
They get insane pulls, m8.

I don't know why you would doubt that. I'm still gonna spin them like a roulette wheel to pick my pack though.

Moving 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.

I don't know what booster to focus on (I'm casual)
Here's a picture for ants
>>
>>56860857
I 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.
>>
>>56860998
Zard for marowack deck.
>>
>>56861001
Marowak is in mewtwo pack
>>
>>56861015
You're right. I forgot I got both of mine in just two packs.
>>
>>56860806
It 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.
>>
>>56861020
I 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
>>
>>56861020
You can set the deck to only provide specific energy
>>
>>56861015
So I pull Mewtwo again?
>>
>>56861039
That's the direction I would go.

I'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.

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)
>>
>>56861198
If 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.
>>
>>56861200
It'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 week

and 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
>>
>>56861213
yeah dude i hate that it fucks up my daily pack times LMAO
>>
>>56861213
I think you can't, because the pokegold can be bought with actual money, so they "force" you to use the hourglasses first.
>>
>>56861212
You 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.
>>
>>56861221
which 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.

Arbok/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.

PikaDos 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.
