>>56874914WEEZING CHADS GET IN HERE
what would gengar need as far as support to be a meta deck?
Waiting patiently for her debut in Pocket.
>>56874764>go back and try for the Articuno EX>4 wonder stamina>actually get itDrWonderBro, if you're here, thank you so much. Also, Top Right on both occasions, I'm never doubting it ever again.
Why the fuck can I not pull one damn charmander and charmeleon? I need two of each and I'm having the exact same problem as ratls where I only got one copy after 60 packs.
Reposting because you never see it:>turn 2 articuno blizzard>win anywayThis is the full power of pika.
>>56874926A whole ass new line of cards.
serious question no meme since im unfamiliar and ignorant to trading card games but why is pot of greed banned but professor oak isn't
>>56874934Could be worse anon, could be like me and not have a single fucking charmeleon
>>56874953You can play pot of greed as many times as you can if they allow more than one in decks now. Also would be too broken to automatically draw 1/5 of your deck in one turn.
>>56874953pot of greed is free to use, oak uses up your one supporter per turnother example, mtg uses mana system, so their draw 2 equivalent also isn't freeit's all about resource management
>>56874953Yugioh is retardedly explosive, or at least is was when I used to play it (about a decade ago). I’m sure it hasn’t changed much. It’s non uncommon for decks to be able to kill you on their first turn. Deck thinning in Yugioh is extremely powerful.
misty flip into origin pulse turn 1 WHEN?
>>56874953with new rules in poketcg supporters are only used once per turn now compared to older rules i believe, plus its a 60 card deck in the regular game and you have a resource based game play instead of "look i have this card i can just play it" kinda game.yugioh has one "normal summon" then infinite "special summons" which means if you can do a special summon then card advantage wins always.for context special summoning in that game is already broken enough to lock your opponent out turn 1 and win unless they have a hand trap or "flood gate " or aka a stall card.
>>56874953Because YGO is filled to the brim with consistent card searchers, so giving everyone access to a non-OPT card with no activation conditions would make things way too overcentralizing. That and there are already several other pots that have a similar effect, such as Pot of Extravagance or Desires, but they tend to have a hard-OPT condition and a proper cost (banish 6 random cards from your ED, banish the 10 top cards from your deck).
>>56874953the TLDR is that pot of greed can be activated multiple times in a single turn (unlike oak), and the lack of a mana/energy system in yugioh means that card advantage is the most important part of the game for longevity/comboing/board breaking. You can also summon multiple monsters who attack/have attack based effects, unlike this game where you can only have one.
>>568749532 card draw is insane in any tcg but not so dangerous in a fresh tcg. And even then Oak has a nerf in that you cannot use any other supporters if you draw.
>>56874914mewtards and gardecucks KNEEL to weezingCHADS
>>56874953Pokemon TCG has different rules in place like 1 supporter per turn, so using Oak is choice instead of an utterly free action that combos into a long chain.
>all other forms of energy engines are restricted by minimum turns to set up (Gardevoir) or high risk (Moltres EX)>Misty is just straight up "btw here's a 50% chance you get an energy economy advantage and a 25% chance you get an even bigger one" on a trainer card
>put funky monkey on board>pikanigger consneedsit's that easy huh
I'm assuming that at this point people have already realized mistycuno is not that good, right?If anything, Starmie is what makes the deck good.
>>56874914>>56874923WEEZING CHADS, RISE!
I've been having fun with a Weezing/Dragonite deck. Koga is fun to use and fun to piss people off with. >10 HP Weezing, Koffing and Dratini(2 energy on bench)>Koga Weezing and switch to Koffing>Evolve Koffing to Weezing and bench the other Koffing>Proceed farm energies for Dratini
>>56874845>22 years of Yugioh >5 years of Beyblade>1 year old Pokemon>6 months of YuYuHakusho>3 months of Bakugan>1 month of Bleach>1 month of MTG>2 weeks of Chaotic>1 week of Digimon>2 days of One Piece Do I qualify for anything?
>Mankey mirror going first>Set up double monkey fossil and pass>Opponent sets up the same board, attacks>Passes back, I have Giovanni in hand and an x speed>Swap Mankeys, kill his>Your opponent has concededYou have to git gud to pilot the deck properly bro.
>>56875009Gacha rules state that they aren't allowed to change the gacha characters/items after they have been advertised as one thing. So misty will always be broken.
>>56875009Misty is by far the shittiest energy generator in the game.
>>56875012>>56874936The deck steals wins if it works, but even then, it can still lose vs pika. It’s more annoying than it is good. Starmie is going to age very well.
WeezingCHADs run this game.
>>56875024For disability.
>>56874934Nigger, just craft them.
https://x.com/NamelessThree/status/1854970120474706348
>>56875035
So, is Weezing the closest thing this game has to a control deck or a method of deckthinning/consistency engine to support main strategies? Sorry, borrowing a lot of Master Duel mindset here.
23 packs no Lapras
>>56875009Moltres EX and Charmander on first draw almost guarantees winning except maybe against a Pikachu ex deck. You'd have to be really unlucky to keep rolling tails. Setting up six energies for Charizard ex is really not that hard.
>>56875009Moltres has a much higher chance of getting at least 1 energy, plus you can do it again, and you can tank a lot while setting up.Misty has a 50% chance of not doing anything at all, wasting the only trainer card you get to use per turn.You can do insane stuff like winning on turn 1 with Misty, but Moltres and Gardevoir are both better on average and are more consistent.People keep overrating that card, huh.
>>56875049Arbok Pidgeot is also control but very low powered. If you play Primeape properly it is essentially a control deck too.
>>56875013FUCK MISTY!- Signed, Weezing
I just finished the 20 wins vs. Lapras/Starmie EX.Do the easy decks guarantee a promo pack?For the rest of the event I'd like to just auto battle easy mode instead of actually playing against the annoyance that is Starmie+Misty.
>>56875028>Changes may be made, such as adjustments to card details or bans on certain cards from being used, as a result of error fixes or adjustments made to maintain a fair battle environment.Read the "Attention" section in the Offering Rates.
I have assembled the paypiggy trinity
>Accidentally skipped the "thanks"I'm the lowest of the low
>>56875066It's a little over 50%, 64% for intermediate, 80% for advanced.
>>56875053Lucklets begone!
>>56875024I didn't even know half of these things had card games.Beyblade? Really?
>>56875066>He doesn't have a deck that can auto expertLol
>>56874953Pokémon is an inherently different game than Yugioh. The main reason being that the games mechanics fundamentally limit the number of actions you can take in a turn. You can't evolve right away, you only get one attack a turn and 6 random cards from your deck get at the start of the game. Pokémon has draw 7 as an evergreen mechanic because there's only so much you can do in a turn. Yugioh is a broken (wonderful) mess of a card game that has no limits or resource system except the ones imposed by individual cards. If you can draw your deck in Yugioh, you basically win the game. That doesn't really happen in Pokémon
Secret mission complete!
>>56875076>Lucklets begone!That's nothing
Do you think we'll get to use the event hourglasses on other events?I was using them for Lapras, but then realized there's no need.
>>56875009It's also 50% do nothing, -1 card in hand and uses up your supporter for the turn
>spend no money>open less than 50>god packednow post yours. surely you got at least one by now?>>56874926One mewtwo ex a meowth and 1-1-1 gardy line got me 25 wins pretty damn quick. Its ability is one of the strongest of the exs imo
>>56875074Shit, I guess manual fights for the next week then
>>56875089Nice
>>56875098I opened a crowned Mewtwo in less than 115 packs. There are people that have opened over 1000 and still haven't gotten one. Luck be like that sometimes
>>56875028That's not true, they explicitly state in the fine print that they reserve the right to change whatever the fuck values they want for balance purposes. Their asses are covered because it's stated clearly.>>56875009Should be nerfed to be more in line with Moltres EX, but even he's pretty OP as well...but he's an EX card so it's somewhat understandable at least.Brock is the real loser here. Who the FUCK thought Brock was a good card?
>>56875098Nice "god pack" with those shitty ass Gengars lmao
>>56875058The issue isn't that Misty is OP, it's that it feels bullshit. These are two functionally different things. Something can be weak but be far more annoying to play against.Moltres EX has more consistency than Misty, but Moltres EX is also a start of game EX card that can't do damage until it has three energies and it can't accelerate its own energy and has a Retreat cost of 2. When you play it early you're locked into it for two turns minimum and 3 if you want it to do anything itself, all while your opponent has also been building their own resources. All the other energy engines in the game are designed like this where they have a fairly strict pace dictated by evolution or some other paced element.Misty on the other hand has zero cost beyond your Supporter use for that turn and she may have a 50% chance of doing nothing but it also has a 50% chance of just being instant energy economy advantage for doing nothing, and a chance to just go ham and be INSANE energy econ advantage too.Misty is not overpowered, but she IS obnoxious.
>>56874953Because using Oak means you can't use Misty, Sabrina, Erika, or Giovanni this turn. If you're ever in a situation where you really need to use one of those, Oak's Research functionally just wastes hand space for the turn. As more good supporters are added, you might see decks start to cut it.There's basically no reason not to run Pot of Green in Yugioh.
>>56874914I have a Pikachu decknidoking deckArcanine ex wiggly ex deckOmastargyarados Jolteon/zapdos deckmarowak deckbut of my decks so far, my weezing decks are the most fun to play
Everyone’s talking about the best card in the gameWhat do you guys think is the WORST card in the game right now
Bros, I'm winning but I'm so burnt out. I'm at 32 wins. I'm going to take a break before getting to 45/50. It feels like a slog right now. After a break I'll try cooking up more decks since I enjoyed the last 2 I made.
>>56875137ditto
Trading when? I need so many stage 1s, the F2P model is starting to hurt.
>>56875137Pokedex, probably.Should really have let you reorder the cards.
>>56875137Probably Brock, because someone building a deck around it would be tragic
>I win the gameThanks!>I lose the game...
>>56875137machamp
>>56875137Magikarp.
>>56875143Nah. Gotta be Porygon. Ditto can be used in meme decks
>>56875024Wait, is Chaotic still going?
>>56875053>>56875076>>56875093
>>56875164It MIGHT have some use in meme decks if the game operated under the same rules as the TCG. But Pokemon Pocket's energy mechanics just make it completely useless.
this game makes me angry
>>56875175Fuck man. I think i just need Mankey and butterfree but i keep getting lapras, pikachu, or shitfairy
>>56875152Brock's fine. It's not much different than playing a Sandslash. Both of them need to pay two energy and find two cards to work. The only actual downside of onyx is the insane retreat cost, because they love giving ridiculous retreat costs to fairly average pokemon while cards like Zapdos and Pikachu get to retreat for 1.
Which pack do I even open if I already have all the cards I want
I have two full art Porygon, when are we getting Porygon 2 and Porygon Z?
>>56875202Mewtwo
>>56875177Ditto can only get better as new energy support gets better. Even now there are people that try to make him work. No one above lvl 5 uses Porygon
>>56875218>MewtwoAny particular reason?
>>56875196The worst part about Brock is there is absolutely no need for him in a fighting energy deck. You can build succcessful rogue decks with Sandslash, Marowak EX, Machamp EX, and now Primeape paired with the new Mankey, not to mention the cool utility you get from Hitmonlee
>>56875230no, you said you have all the cards you want already, you don't need a reason
>no Lapres after around 20 packs nowI can't believe they fucking paypiged a fucking event for stamina just to get the chance for this crap. Absolute flavor of the month that will die off in like a year and become a "youtube card pack pussy popper" simulator.
Show me your spiciest homebrew
I got flair for my Oaks but it doesn’t show up when I play them. How do I equip the flair?
>>56875235It's basically just, Onyx plus Brock gives you a sandslash that doesn't need to evolve, Brock plus Golem gives you a 3-energy OHKO machine that might survive a counterblow. I think they're both good, but they're expensive and the retreat costs are really, REALLY fucked.
>>56875262>Potion instead of a second Erika???
>>56875264You can equip it from the edit screen in your decklist. You need to unlock the flair once for each copy by the way.
Easy every time.
>>56875313>one flair for each copySuch bullshit lmao. Game piece chads keep winning I guess. Though on the bright side this does let you equip 2 different flairs but that seems hollow solace for having to spend the extra to get the second flair
>>56875317Post your deck. The only Lightning build I could make was based about Eelektross, Zebstrika and a budget Pikachu ex in the form of Cinccino.
>1 lapras>3 pika>4 mankey>12 clefairy>0 butterfreeserves me right for getting lapras from the first pack

>>56875328Looks to me like he has a deck of two Tynamos and 18 whatever the fucks, and he reset the fight until the AI went first and played a single Staryu.
What should i have instead of Zapdos and Surge? I feel like Surge is only for Raichu decks and i won’t get much out of him with electabuzz and electrode
>>56875362Way too many Pokemon
>>56875362Why is surge there is you have nothing that can use him? remove zapdos. remove surge. replace with trainer cards. Put 2 Sabrina and how good. Although. I would consider keeping zapdos in as a 1 retreat cost wall while you build up the others. and then xspeed him out.>>56875377As this guy said. most decks generally only run 10 pokemon cards and 10 trainers
>>56875377Forgot i didn’t really edit this until i pulled a Sabrina so zap will be replaced
>>56874923weezbokhead reporting in
Any reason to not spend all of these? I already got a couple of the EX Lapras but I wanna get some more dupes
>>56875388Everytime i do and see this it gets funnier
>>56875393They're definitely going to get wiped once the event ends even if they use the same resource for the next one.
>>56875399How do you know that? Seems odd they would wipe them if it’s the same resource next event
>>56875388This is what everytime I attack someone with arbokhttps://youtu.be/yInmTH0Ff3k?si=6WRxl8AQXC1ZeXdj
show me your bling cards
This is one of the funniest ways to deal with Mew2fags
>Bullying the Lapras Ex expert AI with 100% paralysis rates on PincurchinIt's not as funny against a computer that doesn't rage quit like a player would, but it's satisfying either way.
>>56875328TynamoEelektrikeEelektrossVoltorbElectrodeHelioptile x2Heliolisk x2Potion x2X Speed x2Poke Ball x2Oak x2Giovanni x2SabrinaI'd prefer cutting the Helios for more copies of eels and Sabrina, or adding like Pikachu EX, if I had them. But it usually works as long as they don't get a good opening draw + Misty flips.Screenshot was just a really lucky first turn win situation.
>>56874953What does Prof Oak do?
hide ya kids, hide ya wife
>>56875414What the fuck is Poke Checkup?
>>56875436I think that's what the call the phase inbetween turns. I assume that anon was playing Weezing+Melmetal and the Mewtwo got done in by Poison.
>>56875436my guess is the stage where it checks for poison/sleep/paralysis
>>56875450>>56875452Some "battle log" that is lol.
>>56875388But I was told it loses to Mewtwo…
Mewtards get fucked this is Venusaur town now
Does having the EX version of a Pokemon count for Kanto Dex completion for the Mew card?
>>56875436if pocket's check up rules are the same as the physical TCG then Ill just paste their rules>4) Pokémon Checkup: Pokémon Checkup is a special step that happens between turns. Before the game continues to the next player, you’ll need to take care of Special Conditions. You’ll also need to apply the effects of any Abilities or Trainer cards, or anything else that a card states must happen during Pokémon Checkup (or between turns).
>all this hate against MewtwochadsbakaMewtwochads are FAIR players who DON'T rely on coin flips.
>>56875478Based as hell even though I love both decks
>>56875478Based.
>>56875478What are some good Venusaur deck lists? I tried Lilligant/Venusaur which was ok
>>56875424Are you implying this little shit is OP? IS TRASH! I had to put it on my electric deck because all I have is two of that Kalos normal/electric thing with its evos and a tynamo with its first stage and this guy feels like a dead weight.
>>56875202trade baiti have 3 of the full art charizard EXs that i probably will never use, but they're good trade bait for future expansions. mewtwo is also good trade bait, so the mewtwo packs aren't a bad idea like the other anon said
>>56875502An earlier tournament was won with Venusaur EX and Exeggutor EX but the deck creator even admitted he thinks it was the right call at the time but the meta has shifted now. This new variant with healing from Butterfree looks pretty fun to play
>Guy pulls Mr. Mime against my full bench Pikachu ex>Use GiovanniHeh.
>>56875513any card is trash when it's being piloted by an idiot zebstrika is good as back up, i pulled 2 zapdosEX in my first couple of packs so my electric decks are basically just that with zebra as a poke when they try to run
>>56875502>>56875516It's not his time yet. When we get a basic grass ex that can hold down the fort while he builds up, that's when I feel like he'll really shine. Having to rely on stage 1 (Liligant, Exeggutor) when your main pokemon is already a stage 2 is too many pieces.
>>56875536Celebi soon brother
/ppg/bros we won! /ppg/fags lost! Fuck /ppg/, long live /ppg/.
Do you ever watch the baka ass auto try it's best to win, but keep making suboptimal plays ? It almost makes me want to step in, but I really want to believe in my little idiot child
>>56875545Johto Pokemon will be so based I may actually paypig despite all the evidence the packs are complete bullshit. If we get some kind of Celebi premium may set or something I just may CONSUUUUUUME

>>56875557I've literally had the opponent computer not attack me when they had lethal to win the game that turn. Just skipped their attack that turn. I've only seen it happen once, but it's obviously not ready for the prime time yet, no way in hell I'm letting it pilot for me
>Playing Pika ex vs Marowak ex>He has two Primeape, one Fearow (what), and one Marowak ex>I take one of his Primeape, he sends in Marowak>Fully ready to get coin flipped>He instead uses Sabrina (all of my benched pokemon were under 100hp) and then swaps to Primeape (it's weakened)Pussy move. Logical for sure, but pussy move regardless.
>>56875559Yeah the three diamond rates are literally harder to come by than the 4s or higher, there are just too many in the pool to reliably get the ones you need. Meanwhile you like me probably have three copies of some EXs or full arts already
>>56875570I think that if I made a pika deck auto could win flawlessly, but i think thats just a testament to how stupid that deck is. But watching auto lose with my zapdos deck for stupid reasons like energy placement is just mind boggling to me yes i'm mad
>Finally made the Weezing-Dragonite deckFeels good setting up 2 fat fucks to stall while powering up a nuke, thinking of swapping out Pidgeot with Greninja to snipe any benched mons that survive.Anyone else running it, do you do 3x energies or forgo the darkness energy.

Do you think there should be a limit on how many trainer and supporter cards can be in a deck? We have the 18 trainers decks which are an interesting novelty but I'm not sure are an intended outcome of the designers. But really the bigger issue is that on paper it looks like we have a lot of freedom to build decks as we please but in practice we really don't. With the 20 card limit and most decks being packed to the gills with trainer and supporter cards to improve the consistency of the Pokemon engines in the deck, we get somewhat bland homogenous decks, to the point it's exciting when we see a slight change like "Oh this Mewtwo deck won a tournament because he added in a copy of Jynx". Little changes like that can have a big effect, but it still feels slight. I don't know maybe the bigger issue is the 20 card limit is too small. Maybe three prizes means the matches are going by too quickly. Idk what do you guys think? What would improve the gameplay the most?
When are we getting cool Pokemon like Tropius and Scolipede? All the good cards are KAAAAANNNNNNTOOOOO

The Mewtwofag cowers in fear at the power of Koffing.
>>56875662Ironically, more impactful Supporters and things like Arena cards are what this game needs.Supporters to charge Fighting/Steel energy, Supporters to search for Stage 1/2s, and ways to shut down powerful Basics are what this game needs.Also, more Pokemon to make new Archetypes and give other Archetypes a buff.

>>56875714what are the fossils for
>>56875724consulting the helix for your next move
>>56875703Interesting ideas but I still foresee some boring deck building in practice. Every deck is going to run two copies of Pokeball and Professors Research, until they are replaced by better versions. We'll still be left with only 16 cards left to play with, and we'll still see so many decks continue to run potions, x speeds. Better supporters will be interesting but I think will just further push the trend of decks with more trainer and supporter cards than Pokémon

>>56875727>Every deck is going to run two copies of Pokeball and Professors Research, until they are replaced by better versionsI mean that's every card gameSearch and Draw are just that powerful
>>56875729>>56875733But if they Sabrina your ape into a helix on their turn they will attack it and win a point.
>>56875685I think he's asking for a Face of the band that's good at killing things in a reasonable timeframe card, of which I don't think there are any at the moment.
What purpose does this serve?
>>56875749That's a risk I'm gonna have to take sometimes, but if I'm confident in my lead I can take a point loss here and there
>>56875751Melmetal for Steel is the closest we have I think
>>56875746It's true, I get that. But it feels exacerbated by the fact that we only have 20 cards to play with. Historically there have been many times a card like Pot of Greed has been restricted or banned in Yu-Gi-Oh. Would anyone here really complain if we could only run one copy of Professor's Research in our decks?
why do people use red card? I've literally never used it, it's only been used against me twice i think, and every time someone uses it against me it's either negligible or gives me a better hand
Why dont I see bent packs in the wheel anymore? Were they taken out? I guess bentbros were right all along
>>56875737gardy is just a worse version of the tcg EX and sits in the back as a engine. Every EX is gen 1. Every deck is based on gen 1. There isn’t a gardy deck it’s a mewtwo deck.
>>56875754To check if you're drunk, obviously.
>>56875751Yeah I can empathize with that. All in good time
>>56875766I lost because of a Red Card onceBut I won because of a Red Card at least two times so I guess it balances out
>>56875769The Mewtwo deck doesn't work without Gardevoir. It's a Mewtwo + Gardevoir deck or it simply isn't meta
>>56875767Pulled one today, they're still there but not always
>>56875769Gardy will always be good psy support I guess.
>>56875766It's a good card people just don't use it smart yetI wait until my opponent clearly is going for something, or has just used some card drawLater on sometimes you can get into a back and forth of not playing much just putting on energy, it can feel so nice reducing their hand size
>>56875759Professors Research has been a staple for the entire games life. They release alt arts of staples like that. Stuff like Great Ball and Ultra Ball can powercreep Pokeball
started today wsted all my pulls got 2 pikachus ex but no zapdos, am i fucked?
>Once you have a copy of a wishlisted card, you can no longer wishlist itDAMMIT GAMEI NEED TWO OF THEMTWOOOOOO!
>>56875478Hell yeah, that's my dream right there.
>>56875705>good job anonbattle him with your mewtwo deck.
>>56875793Pikachu is the star of the deck, you don't NEED zapdoszapdos will probably get powercreeped very fast
>>56875786Red card sucks. The deck size is too small for it to matter. It falls off significantly in value after your first time. You have to pray they Oak then you can red card them on your first turn. It is more often or not sitting dead in your hand. If a person has 6 cards in hand they’re obviously bricked on something waiting for like a middle evolution.
>>56875793Most of us couldn't get 2 copies of both. Just start wonder picking for it too while going for pika packs. At least until you found most of everything you want from Pikachu packs.
>>56875794Yeah I don't like that either
Where will Eevee be
>>56875727>Every deck is going to run two copies of Pokeball and Professors Researchthat's not necessarily a bad thingdue to the 1 per turn limit on supporters there is an actual tempo cost attached to playing oak, e.g. do I sabrina to slow my opponent down or is it more important to fish that evolution out of my deckI'm not quite sure how I feel about pokeballs, but there's probably ways to make them not as ubiquitous once the game gets more fleshed out
>>56875818Eevee is far right, every time
>>56875818You don't even have to ask
>>56875818bottom right
>>56875818it's obviously bottom right, are you blind?
>>56875756>>56875670Actually, if Melmetal counts then Centiskortch should count as well. Super Budget Charizard in terms of damage but is only a first stage instead of a second stage and can attack every turn since its attack only discards one energy vs Two for both Zards.
Fuck
>>56875818Always go top middle
>>56875829get fucked
>>56874953>draw 2that is nothing
>>56875829The karmic cycle had punished you for not thanking your opponent that one time.
>>56875478>OG mewtwo benched>jinx in discard pile
>>56875591not reading all that but gz
>>56875009misty sucks ass when she flips 0 heads 1 tails, she's a bad joke at 1 heads 1 tails, annoying but acceptable at 2 heads, and then game changing at 3+ heads. and she locks you out of other supporters whether she whiffs or not, it's fine.
>>56875855Even one heads is insane it sets up starmie immediately. 2 heads sets ups articuno and lapras ex.
>>56875794That and there is no way to view our wishlist, I have a list in my notes app of the cards I still need and from which packs. And there's no convenient way to search to see which cards you have in multiple languages, you have to keep track of them on your own
>>56875855Even 1 heads is good, with the potential to go infinite and win the game. Kinda reminds me of Maxx "C"
>wait 12 hours for pack>no sabrina, charmander or charmeleonShit game
>>56874900this birb carries me
>>56875861How do you wishlist a card?
Is Gold used for anything besides opening packs?
>>56875799Zapdos is the more powerful card.
>>56875872If you level up 100 times you can buy the Erika field :)
>>56875819I do agree, the one supporter per turn limit is good. And having to decide if using Professor's research is worth the risk in case they have red card in hand. But I can't help but feel there is room for a 30 card variant down the line. An "expert" match pool or something
>>56875858>>56875866I agreeEven 1 head is goodIt's essentially being one turn ahead (lol get it) of the gameThe card is just not fun to play against
>>56875872just refilling shit and buying the gold exclusive bundles in the shop (they offer only cosmetics atm, maybe in the future they have pack currency or someshit)
>>56875870to the grave LMAO>>56875867>he didn't craft sabrina, the most powerful card in the video game Pokémon tcg pocket
>>56875871If you see a card in wonder picks you don't have click the card to make it full screen and you'll see a heart outline above it to the right you can tap to wishlist it
>>56875829It's because you didn't go through the community showcases once a day and give them all a like
>>56875887Fuck I was hoping to wishlist a Gardevoir since I still don't have my second one
>why no, I never thank my opponents, how could you tell?
>>56875559It's actually even worse for 1 diamond and 2 diamond cards. Look up the "balls into bins" problem. When you have 50 cards you can pull at common and you pull, say, 300 of them (100 packs), you'd be astounded how many you'd expect to have pulled 0-1 of.
>>56875892I'm at 500+ cards now with most of the packs opened being Mewtwo.3 Venasaur EX0 Ivysaur
>>56875885refilling what shit? you mean pack opening stamina, right
>>56875896This shit is why I don't regret using my hourglasses liberally.
>>56875872You can refill wonder hourglasses, rewind watches, and event hourglasses too.
>>56875896I have charizard ex, venusaur ex, and blastoise ex but I'm missing the middle evo for all 3 linesepic
>>56875898aye, all of the 3 refillable staminas (packs, picks and event)
>>56875906I used all of them, including the ones in the shop
>>56875886I don't want to craft her since I still need charmander and charmeleon. So I'll probably get her anyways.
>>56875890The paranoid schizo in me days that it's not a good idea to tell the game the cards we actually want lol. But at the end of the day the wishlist seems to just put a heart over a card in your wonder pick selections to make it quicker to identify that there's something you're looking for, it hopefully doesn't actually alter the odds of getting said card
>>56875874Ah yes, the star of the meta, the deck called Pikachu EX, certainly the best card in that deck is Zapdos
>>56875887what does wishlisting a card achieve?
>>56875919I'm in your walls.
>>56875923Increases the disappointment you feel when you fail to pick it
>>56875923It puts a big heart icon on top of the card in wonder trades, making them damn near impossible to accidentally overlook.
>>56875923Read my post again that you just replied to
>>56875906due to how expensive ex cards are in the points shop + wonder trade existing it's probably even smarter to buy the low rarity cards you missed, as dumb as that sounds
Magneton must be the shittiest card in the game>Can generate a electric energy only for himself>Move requires 4 energy but deals less damage than an Electrode, and Electrode has the same HP zero retreat cost
>>56875936>>56875933so it just puts a fun little heart in the corner, neatreminds you that you want a card, good thing just in case i forget that i want something
>>56875937I genuinely think three diamonds will be the best use of pack points, after getting anything you need for your deck of course. They will be the hardest cards to obtain for any would be completionist or someone even just seeking the Mew card
>>56875943m... magnezone ex will fix him... *coughs*i know it will...
>>56875945The heart makes it so if you're chasing just a few things down you can quickly scroll the wonder picks and if you don't see a heart you can safely ignore
pulled 80% of my packs as charizard as f2p and still no moltres ex... ffs i have 3 of the interactive charizard and 4 charizard ex. funny enough, they don't count towards "collect 5 charizard" thing.
>need 38 wins for 1 level uplolmeanwhile in other games you can buy a pack after 3 wins
>>56875945You could also use it to keep track of Kanto pokemon you're missing for the Mew card. It's what I'm doing. ~30 pokemon left til Mew is mine.
The upside of adding so many Japanese players to my friends list is that if I get a card I already have from their wonder picks I'm at least getting it in a new language
>>56875957Yea, the game is turbo jewish. They need to revamp the entire economy or the game is going to be dead by the time the second set releases and everyone realizes they have no currency to open any of it.
emotes when
How are we feeling, lads?
>>56875964Yeah. Shame the same can't be said for the other languages since nobody plays in them. Gotta do that shit myself if I want a diverse collection of shit cards.
>>56875969We'll at least get hourglasses from the new solo battles they add but yeah it will still pale in comparison to what a new account will have access to at that point in time.
>>56875969>They need to revamp the entire economy or the game is going to be dead by the time the second set releases and everyone realizes they have no currency to open any of it.unfortunately since it's Pokémon it doesn't matter. even if everyone with a brain leaves, there'll still be enough whales left. that's exactly what's happened to Pokémon Unite. that game is 3 years old and still NOTHING has been addressed.
>want the Snorlax full art >been opening exclusively Pikachu packs from the start for it>save up around 250 points to eventually buy it outright if I have to>pull it in a free pack todaywhat……what do I do now?
>>56875974I have some Chinese and French friends on my friends list as well but the other language players if I encountered them online I didn't notice. I didn't take the time to look at their showcases and more likely their names just didn't stand out the way a name made from Kanji would. That said some of the Asian players on my friends list do use westernized names

I miss Pokemon Duel. Why did they ruin it with Deoxy and the three booger stoogers...https://youtu.be/n3wj8byh7dM?feature=shared
GG weezingchad, but the W is going to the venubros
>>56875997>the three booger stoogers...Who in the what?
>>56876009Didnt attach image like a retard
>>56875997I miss winning games because a Stalemate broke and I wanted to revive my Boogers by sacking Ho-oh only for Ho-oh to dab on everyone on the other side.>>56876014Reuniclus.
>>56875921The name of a deck is not some divine signifier handed down by god which dictates the strongest card in it.
>>56875973If only we knew what these black friday deals were...
>>56875943It isn’t the worst, but it’s certainly not worth running right now. I think what ultimately kills it is that surge’s effect requires you to move all lightning energy to the active mon. Well, that, and the fact that raichu and electrode are simply good (instead of great). Electabuzz is ass (sadly).
>dab on metashitters with sandslashlol
just won my first dragonite mirror match, throughout heaven and earth i alone am the lucky one
>>56874900Any deck building tips? Mainly what's a good item/support:pokemon ratio and how many more basic pokemon to stage 1/2s
>>56876025name 1 deck where this applies
Doesn't matter what deck i play my pokeballs and research and evo cards are useful cards are always in the 2nd half of the deck but the pay to win fags always have their holo Mewtwos and Gardevoir set up by turn 5.
top right bros, I am sorry for ever doubting you
>>56875851tl;dr is Mewtwo metafag kept trying to retreat and Sabrina didn't let him, then he tried to burst me down but Venu is too thicc for the Mewsticc.
TURN ONE META BROS... SOON..
>>56875874No. But I agree that zapdos ex is mandatory. The card is another high hp, low retreat cost mon that can be used for positioning, it has a small poke if needed, and it has a potential nuke when pika’s 90 just isn’t enough.I won a game earlier where I had to play the first turn AND articuno ex got blizzard off (three heads) on the second turn. Wouldn’t have been possible without zapdos ex.
>>56876029probably just some basic discounts + exclusive gift boxes like that gardevoir onehopefully the discounts are actually good.. but it'll be some 10% off because they're jews
>>56876032Surge should apply to all Electric Pokémon, really.
>>56876061>requires energyTurn one meta bros.....not like this....
>>56875943It's basically just a battery for raichu alongside surge to fuck mistyfags withits energy generation should be faster though yeah
I wish you could dust cards like in Hearthstone.
Post cards that need buffs, I'll start.>Low HP for a tank>ability is pointless because of this, since anything with a 70 BP attack can still two-shot it no problem, same as most other one-stage mons.>attack is gimped at 3 energy for a mediocre 70 BP.
>>56876115Dumbass
He WILL make it in. He WILL have a full art version. Walrein EX WILL be meta.
>>56876029I'm not interested in anything that involves real money. I'm not paying for more Slowbros and Grappleocts.
>>56876132>Binder is almost full SlowbroI kneel
>>56876137It's only 1/3 Slowbro. There's 10 of them and there's 30 spots. There's 10 Grappleocts. Fun fact, I don't own a single Slowpoke, so I couldn't even use these. I also don't have Giovanni, Koga, Kirlia, or the other good 2-diamond cards in the pack. I'm thinking of uninstalling the game when the binder fills up.
Would you?
>>56876158Nidoqueen sucks so no
Best deck that doesn't depend on flipping coins?
>>56876158Do it for her (Seaking)
>>56876163Probably Mewtwo+Gardevoir, or Koga if you're a chad.
>>56876163its a gacha game and you don't want to gamble?
>>5687603910 pokemon 10 trainer
Found a guy with spanish cards in the wild. Only one wonder pick point, so I went ahead and nabbed one. Two Poliwag and a Persian were options, and I had neither towards my kanto dex, so this was worth it.

>>56876192Might be from me. Hiii.

>>56876255you make it sound like 45 win badge is something worth mentioning when half the people concede instantly and misty/uno is a real thing that takes 0 skill.also you're running a fucking pikachu deck, acting like you have some sort of superiority is amusing

Okay, I've cracked the code on another pokemon. This time it's alakazam, eggy gives you crazy early game pressure and a huge health bar to soak up hits and zam ends the game vs any attacker that can actually 1v1 egg. With erikas it ends up killing one and maiming(or with a little luck killing) another leaving it easy for zam to clean up. Very few decks can answer an alakazam and if eggy has killed their main attacker the secondary will usually fall to zam.
It would be nice to turn off the windows that pop up after you get a card. I don't need to see them placed in my collection every time
>>56876311moltres is 1,5 on average and uses up your attack for the turn, guardevoir is passive and reliablealso the game is usually over by the time charizard has attacked once, so most of that extra energy doesn't really matter
Steel needs buffs so bad
>>56876311You can sabotage Moltres strategies with Sabrina or just straight knocking it out. Sabrina (and a lucky Red Card) is still a good solution for Gardevoir, but sitting on the bench and requiring no energy to use the ability makes it feel more annoying/powerful.
>>56876292Oink oink paypiggy
>>56876274>anon details a basic misplay>(You) can’t help but seethe about pika and cunoWhy?
>>56876328This is cool as heck, I'll try it when I have all the cards. Thank you
>>56876163Mewtwo or Pikachu with only one ZapdosThe latter still has coin flips but you'll barely ever see them
>>56876323Blaine doesn’t just appear out of thin air unfortunately
>queue up with japanese paypig (has the Garde mat and set)>using Grass deck, he's using Fighting>insta-gives upI will accept your concession, piggie.
Respect to all kogachads, probably the most fun deck to go up against right now aside from mewtwo or marowak
>>56876393I dunno. A marowak deck that actually goes for the coin flips is always fun, and I never get salty about losing to those. Same with primeape; I respect a win with that frail ball of fur.
>>56876335Just needs more Pokémon, is all.
>already have 50 wins in the pvp event>keep joining the queue and taking wins>I'm denying others wins purely to gatekeep and bully casual players from completing the event easily>I'm Pikachu player btw
Just got to 25 wins using Primeape on the event, do we ride out the last 20 with El Mono Loco or do we switch things up to something like Mewtwo or Misty?
>>56876448>already have 50 wins in the pvp event>keep joining the queue with fun decks>I can win and have fun with my gimmick>or make it easier for casuals to complete the event easier>Im a Hypno player btw
>>56876450To the top with Primeape. >already have 50 wins in the pvp event >keep joining the queue and taking wins >I'm denying others wins purely to gatekeep and bully casual players from completing the event easily >I'm Lickitung player btw
>>56876448I hope you at least have cool looking cards and flairs.
>>56876457I want to play the ape so bad but the game is allergic to giving me even one of it.
>>56876457I thought you get matched with people on the same rank
>faggot starts evolving his Pokemon and playing random supports instead of just killing me and ending the gameif you're gonna waste my time you're not getting a thanksi'm always going to do the fastest play to end the game, it's better for both of us
>>56876158no
Just defeated a Pikatard with my water deck, kek
>>56876467There are no ranks. The badges are rewards, not MMR or any of that shit. You can fight new players just as easily as whales and actual good players (aka players with good luck on coin flips).
Give me a funny meme deck to try out, keep in mind I'm a F2P
>>56876472I lost a game once because I was retarded and thought I had game when I only had defeated 2 regular mons instead.Since then I always make sure to do everything I can in my turn.
>>56876487THEN YOU GET NO THANKS FROM ME
>>56876450>>56876457crazy how 1 change can buff it so much
>>56876486Two Chansey/KangaskhanTwo Lickitung16 Trainer/support cardsThree different energy types (it's all colorless, so go wacky)Go for that continuous lick.
>>56876487Same.

>>56876338>Oink oink paypiggywonder trade
>>56876472Why didn't you just concede? People who keep playing after checkmate get no thanks.
>>56876487yeah honestly he's probably just trying to present a choke>>56876483once you get to 45 wins it changes, you get only [or mostly, some hide the ribbon but everyone i played was clearly pretty decent] 45 win havers. this was on the first day because i had it off and nolifed the event, so it wasnt a placebo
>>56876518in case you want to give me a pity consneed, duh
>>56876472Fragile>>56876487Nothing wrong with it, especially for new players in a casual format. The lack of communication online just allows people to project malice onto you more easily, but playing out the final turn is common irl, time permitting.
What even is the Primeape deck?
>>56874900How do I make a dark deck that isn't just weezing arbok, or Weezing Muk?I want to make a nidoking deck that works
>>56876487You probably got conditioned by matches where one ex pokemon ends up dying. In a sense, you can consider a loss where an ex pokemon and any other pokemon go down as a two point game, because it's two sources of points. You're not (entirely?) retarded, don't worry.
>>56876500Nice. I'm gonna do Water/Light/Psy for maximum psychological damage.
>>56876534The highest tourny ranking Primape deck I've seen was Prime x2 Promankey x2 Sandshrew/Slash x2 and HitmonleeI tried it and haven't gotten a single win with it but that's probably because I'm ass
>>56876535You can shove Weezing into a lot of other deck that needs some set up. Not really much you can do with dark alone right now besides Arbok/Weezing/sometimes Muk. If you want to make a Nidoking deck just make it and have fun.
>>56876535you can do weezing + whatever honestly personally I enjoy weezing + this water nigga right here. >working nidoking deck impossible
>>56876554forgot pic
>>56876535you can try weezing/arbok/hypno if you are a gigachad
>>56876328>still having shit luck with Mewtwo boosters for few daysMaybe it's time to go all in on Charizard and try build this instead
>just got 4 tails ina row with golurk costing me the gameFuck this dude
Okay but what do I do now?
>>56876497Hope we get poketools next set to further boost the Ape. 10/20 extra HP would do wonders.
>>56876554>>56876552I've been doing weezing and all kinds of combinations but I got 2 nidoqueen and nidokings before I ever got a weezing and now I want to give back to the Nido community. I want to try and make a strong Weezing Nido deck but it feels like too many cards if I run;2x weezing2x arbok1x Nidoking.And nidoqueen feels awful but maybe I can make it work now that inhave kangashkan and tauros
>tfw it won’t let me pull more until I pick a card to craftIf you had 2500 points what would you craft.
It's just me or are there more nips than normal people in this game?
>>56876578Make decks that other people can only dream of putting together.Things like grass types from every pack or water types from every pack. Like Butterfree/vena/eggor tentacruel/starmie/ blastoise ex
>>56876587How the fuck did you get that many points? Did you actually spend money on the game?
>>56876587What decks are you playing/building?

Have you guys gotten your gold emblems yet? I managed to poopoo on the usual meta decks with this dumb idea for a deck I had yesterday.
>>56876587I'd get Misty full art.
>use Bonemerang five times>1 heads, 9 tailsI fucking hate Marowak with a passion.
>>56876613that too or sandslash I personally rather have sustain with kabutops than play "I only get tails" the 2 sabrinas can help secure getting a hurt primeape out
>>56876622paypiggy
>>56876628I haven't put a cent into the game, unless you count the two week free trial thing.
>go against jap whaler where every card has max (or near max) flairu okay bud?
Mewtwo decks are way too easy to win against
>>56874900Should I flair this card
>>56876625you gotta work on your flip micro
>>56876639Why does it feel like a really gentle nudge to the upper right usually results in heads? It almost feels like I'm cheating but surely it must be in my head and it doesn't actually affect the odds, right?
>>56876637>one meta deck requires setup and good card draws (mewtwo)>the other 2 meta decks require absolutely nothingdamn shame
People are sleeping on fossils in Mewtwo to counter Sabrina.
>>56876638yes babbeh
>Mewtwo player just consneeded against my Poliwrath deckPoor bastard couldn't find a Gardevoir while I got every Poli stage one after another. His Mewtwo ended up killing itself thanks to Counterattack.
Man I wish Misty worked on any monI wanted to make a shitpost Centiskorch deck
I'm too much of a pussy to do versus battles
>>56876655They're over quickly, and you can just give up if you get a shit hand
>>56876584Good luck bro. It would be cool to see Nidoking work.
>actually tempted to get the 500 gold packFuck me.>>56876655Same, honestly.
>>56876653Moltres EX is what you need
>>56876655theres no communication whatsoever, no bm, only a thanks at the end who cares just try it
>>56876655same but i need the dust
How would you design PvE boss battles on this game? I really hope they have something like that planned.
>>56876661You can only apply those energy to fire type mons
>>56876655how is this a thing? what are you afraid of?
>>56876647I just use 1 retreat basics like Jynx and I don't play Ralts unless I either have to or have another Ralts or my Jynx on the field So far the only times I lose Mewtwo matches are either because I'm super bricked or I get Giovanni'dSeriously, opponents have gotten the Giovanni they needed to win the game on the last turn before I won like 3 times now, it's uncanny
Butterfree and bulbfrens is back, baby!
>>56876661I wish I had one of those, I do need it
>>56876670yeah, that would work for your Centiskorch deck
>fight pikafags>funny moth coinflips stun lock them into hell>he ragequitsEat shit and eat more shit
>>56876681Butterfree is my new MVP, I made a Melmetal/Mawile/Butterfree deck and it carried me through the event battles today. I hammered out the 45 wins pretty quickly
>>56876671Humiliation
>>56876690That's not me but he's saying that it doesn't work on any mon, not that it WOULDN'T work on Centiskorch, a simple communication difference
>>56876669could do solo gym battles>2 solo battles against npc>leads to gym leader>brock/misty/koga/giorun it the same as the lapras event with 4 levels of difficulty issue is there's not enough cards yet for variety
not being able to chat or emote while some whaler is pikachu ex'ing me is lovelythanks gamefreak
>>56876638Depends on how trading works when it releases. Promo Mankey might be a valuable card people will trade EXs or full arts for later
>>56876672Fossil seems better than Jinx to me, but I'm a pro MTG faggot, not a pro Pokemon TCG faggot. Also Jinx lowers your t1 Mewtwo odds significantly. Against Sabrina you just swap in Fossil and let them get a point. Sometimes they can't even kill it and you just pitch the fossil and plop your fat Mewtwo back in play.I still haven't opened my own Sabrinas and yet I'm somehow doing very well against real decks. Can't wait for my fucking Sabrinas to come so my deck can actually be correct and not have this red card dogshit card.
>>56876701I understood that, but he mentioned he specifically wanted to make a Centiskorch deck, so what I said wasn't incorrect
>>56876669The Lapras one is fine.
>zard player is set up>max hp zard, 4 energy>I take out his moltres ex>his bench is empty>he takes a zapdos ex using sabrina>only pika has energy, but it’s in slash range>gg right?>nah, fuck that>pincurchin can handle one attack>stun his zard for two turns>second zapdos ex lands four headsI did not deserve that game, but I’ll take it kek.
>>56876707I.hope they dont do the PokemonGO thing of trading requires a lot of material
You think the Johto starter EXs are gonna be as decent as the Kanto one's?
>>56876703>whalerCope. This is the only time in the game where that statement likely won’t apply. It’s pretty easy to build a mega deck ftp right now.
>>56876736You would only hope so
>>56876716No, I'm the one who was talking about the Centiskorch deckY'see, he was talking about "I wish Misty worked on any mon"So although Moltress would work on any deck, it doesn't work on any mon
>>56876736if it's any indication how they've treated kanto fan favorites then I'm sure they will>umbreon>espeon>scizor>ttar
>>56876734I think there will be some sort of limit on trading via a mechanic like this or else people would be incentivized to spin up a new account, get the early hourglasses, pass everything of value forward to main account, and rinse and repeat.
Are some people botting the event? Some of the plays these people make don't make any sense.>Two Moltres EX>Only uses the first move to pump a Charmander with more energy, when it could easily give a third energy and start swinging for game>Switches from one Moltres EX to another to do this for no benefit
>>56876777I believe the game itself has a simulation feature where the AI will do random stuff while you watch TV.
>>56876748I only know someone is a whale if they only play full art cards and have stupid cash only icons/playmats, otherwise you can't really know that they didn't just get good pulls or whatever. Hell, I just posted a deck I have been playing with earlier and the first reply was calling me a paypig despite the fact that I've never spent money on this game.
>>56876777Some of the players are literal children that probably don't have any strategy and just want to use their favourite pokemon
>>56876708In the tournys you see Basics like Meowth/Jynx/Kanga more than fossils, but most commonly I think it's just pure Gard line x2 and Mewtwo x2I think the issue with fossils is their squishiness, and how passive they areMewtwo decks are already so passive that something you can play like X Speed or Sabrina or a mon with a strong attack or draw move is more useful than something that continues to be passive
I've been having terrible pack luck lately. It's one thing to not be getting any rares, but I haven't even been getting the commons and uncommons I'm looking for.
>>56876783I don't think so, right? Not vs. players at least.>>56876787This goes beyond not having a strategy and into actively playing counter to trying to win.
>>56876789I see those lists, but I think they're wrong /shrugLike I said I'm an MTG pro, not a Pokemon player at all before this app 2 days ago. My intuition is that it's best to use fossils to stay consistent
>>56876757>Point 1) Man I wish Misty worked on any mon>Point 2) I wanted to make a shitpost Centiskorch deckHere anon says he wishes 'Misty worked on any mon'. Why? Because he wants to make a 'shitpost Centiskorch deck'.>>56876661>Moltres EX is what you need (referring to Point 2)This reply addresses how that anon can make his 'shitpost Centiskorch deck'. It has nothing to do with if 'Misty worked on any mon'.Most people would understand this, but I can sympathize, autistic people often have a hard time with reading comprehension.
>>56876789NTA but yeah Jynx works well without a doubt. i'd rather have that than 2 gio's, can easily shift that to one or find a way to make it work. upside is much higher
Chill.
>>56876816I stopped using my mewtwos now that I have enough cards to come up with sillier strategies, but yeah Jynx was a great backup card that could either nuke a card thats gotten fully set up after it takes one of my own guys out, or used as a tool to spook the opponent into keeping their active card low on energy so I have time to set my own shit up.
>>56876622kino deck
>pikafriend red cards me out of Gardevoir and I'm about to lose>HOWEVER
>>56876587google play cards for the entire general
>conced until my misty and articuno ex draw works first turn Nothing wrong with me
>>56876789Fossils sound better to me too. I don't see why a pokemon whose only job is to die in place of Gard needs to "not be passive", and having extra basic pokemon that you don't actually want to use just gets in the way of drawing the basics that actually form your strategy.
>>56876731Looks like the guy didn’t give “thanks” or accept my friend request either. Mindbroken by a 3% chance win condition, my only out to a set up zard.
>>56876658just beat a Pikachu ex deck with nidoking
>>56876701Then stop replying to others you fucking retard or at least say it's not you. you fucking retard.
>>56876812>Here anon says he wishes 'Misty worked on any mon'. Why? Because he wants to make a 'shitpost Centiskorch deck'Yes, the reason why I said that was so I can make a Centiskorch deck.HOWEVER, I didn't say "I wish Misty would work on Fire mons". I wish Misty would work on any mon. You could infer the idea that I have other decks I would wish to make that are not fire. As such, while Moltress satisfies the second point, it does not satisfy the first. That is what anon was talking about. You shouldn't be so rude when you are the one who is unable to understand this simple lack of communication on both of your ends and have gotten so defensive over it.
>>56876789>>56876841the reason charizard runs fossils is that it already has a point pokemon it wants, moltres ex, and a bench pokemon it wants to protect, charmanderit doesn't work in mewtwo because you don't actually want mewtwo in the active spot from turn 1, you need someone else to fill that role capable of taking a couple of hits while doing some chip damagenobody is going to sabrina your garde if they can just body your mewtwo in two hits and that's exactly what any relevant threat will do
Alakazam vs Mewtwo is fucking scary, whoever can mind crush the other first wins, and Mewtwo gets to build pretty fast with it's harem.
I wish Misty "worked" on any mon.
>opponent times out without attacking>I evolve a benched mon then pass the turn without attacking as well>he fuckinh steam rolls meI would have won. Why did I do it?

>I'm losing more often to the stupid lapras event than I was while getting the gold emblem I swear to god this AI is fucking cheating
>fighting a Misty deck>gets 2 energies on the Squirtle on the bench>Bricked out of my mind, I manage to kill the active Staryu>they concedeOne of the most "we take those" moments if I ever did see one.
>>56876865shut the fuck up you retard
>>56876809>>56876841And yet the winning and high ranking Mewtwo decks don't usually run them. The simple reason is that they AREN'T consistent. It's a dead weight spot that can be Sabrina'd for a free point and its only real use is early game Sabrinas. Mewtwo's early game is incredibly important because of Pikachu's prevalence, and a mon that draws faster or can actually do damage WHILE soaking up the point is usually superior. Fossils have their niche but it's not the best option. What >>56876868 says is also true.
>>56876895take your meds
many such cases
>>56876906For me, its conceding the moment my opponent gets more than a single energy from a misty card early in the game
There's no way coin flips are coded correctly. I feel like it has a bias toward whatever the first flip result was. That's why Misty either does tails immediately or 5 heads and no inbetween. It's also why I get DOUBLE TAILS 5 FUCKING TURNS IN A ROW WITH MAROWAK YOU USELESS FUCK

Flare my penis
>>56876945imo yes, exeg ex is really good with venu ex
>>56876865Then your post communicates your point poorly.If your intention was to communicate 'I wish Misty would work on any mon', you would have mentioned I wanted to make a 'shitpost Centiskorch deck OR Mewtwo deck'. However, you only mentioned Centiskorch, so it would be generally understood that is your main intention was to make a 'shitpost Centiskorch deck'.And even forgiving your poor communication, how is 'Moltres EX is what you need' an incorrect reply? It still addresses 'I wanted to make a shitpost Centiskorch deck' as an alternative solution.Let me break it down this way so maybe you can understand;>I wish A was real>I want A so I can use B>How about C? It exists and can be used with B>Uhh actually I was just talking about A

>>56877042It's called a whale currency. If you look at the cost to obtain flairs and stuff for the expensive cards, you can see that the amount they've given us isn't anywhere near enough to sustain a whale's spending habits. It seems worthless to us, but to the whales, it'll quickly become the most valuable currency. This is a common and useful lever for gacha games to include. For instance, it lets them pit the whales and regular players against each other - the f2p players complain about getting stardust as a reward because it's worthless to them, which gives the devs an excuse to drip feed it to the whales.

Opening with Cubone against opening with Machop feels like night and day, with the former I'm begging for it to hit at least once, with the latter I just need to get to Machamp to murder everything in sight.I really detest how coinflip-heavy this game is.

>>56877086Huh? There's nothing to concede. You misunderstood the post replying to you, and you were rude. You shouldn't be rude, especially when you were in the wrong. What's the point in shutting down discussion over a hypothetical card simply because it doesn't exist? The entire point is I would want it to exist.
>They don't say "tails" out loud whenever the opponent flips coins to jynx themngmi
>>56877178I literally have nothing else to play, every single evo line I could use is incomplete to use other types, which is why Machamp is such a godsend. It also doesn't help that today I bricked on a lot of my duels, opening no Pokeball or Professor and instead only getting Sabrinas or evolutions when I didn't have the basic Pokemon. Today was just a bad day.

One good thing about marowak is that if you get a double heads early they quite often concede. They have no idea how much of a chance they still have kek

Played against my first Dragonite deck, I don’t know how you guys do it. Feels like the chance of getting both energies you need is worse than a coin flip. Though arrogant of me to say this though cause I got decimated when they finally pulled the electric needed lmao.
>>56877189ahhh okay that makes a lot more sense then. but yeah, i agree with you that the current meta is built too strongly on coin flips and hopefully new cards fix that down the line. who knows though, it's fucking grim right now.
>>56877233>opponent is running dragonite deck>maliciously sabrina them back into the active spot so I can delete the energy they need with Mawile>they always concede
>>56876472The only time I did that was when I was down to my last two cards in hand and wanted to finish fully decked out. It was just an (unnecessary) evolution and an X Speed.

>>56877181>There's nothing to concedeThey've backpedaled and agreed that C still answers B, which is my stance.The problem is the fixation on A being the main point and that it must be solved, or that both A and B must be solved, which is not possible.

You assume that Moltress ex wasn't known. Although I did not make it aware in my post, you could infer that I did have knowledge of the general meta and all existing cards since I used "any" and knew that using Centiskorch was a shitpost. Once again, if it was that "Misty worked on fire Pokemon" you would have a point, but it's "any". >That's both incorrect and irrelevant. And you've got thin skinI'm not the one ranting because my ego was bruised. It also is correct that you were both rude and condescending for no reason, and its relevent because you are being rude to others for no reason because of something you fail to understand.>Go on then, let's hear what riveting discussion ChatGPT can come up with for you.I don't know what you mean by this. Are you trying to say that I'm using ChatGPT to write my posts? Or are you saying that my time would be better spent asking ChatGPT? Either way, both are incorrect. I'd much rather ask anons.

After playing more today, I am positive that fossils are better than other basics in Mewtwo. It's is u doubtedly true in my mind now.
>>56877398>he uses EXsngmi
>>56876900Nope. WRONGAlso more basics means less Mewtwo.Maybe I'm retarded, but it's not close in my mind. That extra tempo from free withdrawal is godly. I promise jinx is worse but idc what you play.
>>56877502Read it again dipshit.
Also, since I come from pro MTG, I can say for certain that what a winning decklist chose to play is not nearly as relevant than proper theory when building. In MTG other pros would constantly play 1 ofs and 3 ofs. I very early did think, opting for proper theory and max consistency. Same shit I've seen a million times, but I probably shouldn't tell you faggots kek.
