>>56883833Tomorrow is MondayJapan goes back to work...Surely they will give us a gift for making it one the most popular games this month.....
>>56883807Alright. I bit the bullet and wasted 14 tickets. Pokeball has great themed flair. The others are all eh. The Potion does look nice with the blue sparkles.
>>56883841Thank you for your service anon
>>56883841He doesn't have any exclusive flairs right? Pikachu has the exclusive silhouette one
>>56883848>HeYou mean the bonehead? I just threw him in to fill in the dead space. I couldn't think of how to display 7 cards after thinking about it for 5 seconds.
Say it with me:TOP RIGHTISALWAYSRIGHT
>>56883855My friend tried two for exs, a full art and a regular, and where were they BOTH? Well, I said top right, and it was right.
>>56883855Pick top middle or I'll turn you into a cripple.
>>56883855I will hunt all of you cult members like a Ex Mormon.
>>56883862Dubwoolbro... until you get your Ex, I don't think anyone wants you...
>>56883862>>56883863eh?
why isn't charizard ex considered stronger than mewtwo? 200 damage instead of 150, also uses up 2 energy, and moltres generates energies faster than gardevoir.
>>56883863>Pick middle>game knows he's not a true believer>shifts the cards last secondmany such cases..
>>56883863>didn't pick top rightSabrina would have materialized there if you did.
>>56883863>not man enough to pick top leftlow energy! sad!
>>56883870>>56883872>>56883876
>>56883869>why isn't charizard ex considered stronger than mewtwo? Simple:>Charizard is practically dead weight until evolved, while Mewtwo gets to do things>Moltress is unreliable and puts out no pressure while charging>Charizard can't actually fire his off continually unless very heavily charged>Losing your backline Gardevoir means you still have a chance, losing your backline Charizard is a death sentence
Half of these came from the toppest of middles by the by.
>>56883882dont do it. but if you do, i pray that you come back as a top-leftermay god have mercy on your sole, for i wont. *licks*
>>56883895>may god have mercy on your sole, for i wont. *licks*This line shouldn't go as hard, but it does.
I'm thinking trading should be rarity locked. Being able to trade up or trade down is ripe for exploits.I'm also to lazy to make alts to abuse it anyway.
Misty giving good head today.
I think trading should require 10 cards of the one you want to trade
>>56883916>trades 10 pokedex for a crowned PikachuToo easy
Hydro Splash should be 1 energy
>>56883909Trading will work like this.>You trade away a duplicate>You get a random card of the same rarity from someone else>new hourglass item and timer
>>56883919Was it datamined already? That's better than nothing. Full card arts only have shitty battle flairs.
>>56883917>he found someone with 10 crowned pikachus willing to give one up for a pokedex
>>56883919>You get a random card of the same rarity from someone elseThe FUCK that's not trading
>>56883916I've spent about 25$ on the game and I've gotten maybe 3 different cards 10 or more times. Doing this would lock ftp players out of trading unless they put like 6 months into the game. I wouldn't be too surprised if it required 1-1 trading on rarities, but having anything more than a playset to trade is retarded.
>>56883924No but it's an educated guess. 1:1 trades decided by both players will just be a GTS situation all over again. Caterpie asking for Mewtwo.
>>56883919Do you need 3?Or does it just give a copy of a card you have?
>>56883924>Was it datamined already?no
Whats the best way to play dragonite frosmoth or weezing? any other good synergies? Could I stall with a lapras and misty?
I WANT TO KNOW THE MINISET CARDS NOOOOOOOOOOOW
I'm going to do something stupid
>>56883935Joke on you : some peoples have more mewtwo than caterpie, giving how this game troll you with low rarity cards
https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/6726f08e0947ec3b5d1936f4/standingsWhat's up with the Arcanine and Machamp?? I couldn't find if this tournament had special rules or not. Are they just actually good?
>>56883939Kanga. You don't really want to be spending energy on anything besides dnite
>>56883933>this guy has never wonder traded before
>>56883946machamp is probably a pika counter, but I have no idea how arcanine got in there
Posted my sabrina fa pull yesterday and just pulled this. Dont think im getting an erika anytime soon
>>56883953Hmmmmmm good point
>>56883958GIWTWM
I've opened 25 Promo packs and still no Mankey?
Get fucked salty chink. I can understand it's a bad match up but resorting to timer stalling, holy shit dude get a life.
>>56883954No I actually haven't, I only ever traded with one friend of mine "recently", which was like almost 10 years ago. Never did anything online with the DS titles either since I'm mostly a solo player.
>>56883966Doesn't waiting for opponent to return mean they've left the app or gone offline?
>>56883971I assume they check messages or something like "low battery" popped up, I see it happen all the time and then they come back
Why does the shop have Hourglass and “refreshed monthly” Hourglass?
>>56883976Because the cheaper ones won't refresh
>>56883969Wonder trade was neat. You got a Caterpie 90% of the time and a box legendary 10% of the time. I did Wonder Trade Nuzlocke in Sword and it was fun as all hell. I went into the champ fight with only 4 pokemon. It came down to his G Max Charizard against my Scrafty. I used Head Smash, the Charizard died, but the recoil killed Scrafty. It was a double KO, but the game counted it as my loss. It's the closest you can get to finishing a game and still lose. In case you don't know, when you lose a fight, you'll see the enemy's pokemon standing in front of them in this shot. Since then, Scrafty has been my favorite fighting type.
>watching my screen do afk lapras battle with pika deck>puts ex pika in active, electabuzz and promo pika in bench>up against a staryu>puts energy on bench pikachu first turn, then active one the nexthehhehhhhhhhh
>>56883953That's what Misty is for with Frosmoth
Alright what garbage deck can I run with this guy
>>56883987PSYDUCKSYDUCK
>>56883966HE'S ACTUALLY DOING BRONIXTHE MADLAD
Had my knee blindly pick
Setting my message to 'Collecting Grass types' was probably a mistake.
>>56883945I have 2 Mewtwo EX and 0 Caterpie, yes.
Story mode when?
>>56883983I know it's off topic, but I miss my boy. This was a great shot of him taking down the titan. I've never gotten emotional about a pokemon before.
>>56884004Damn good knee.
>>56883919It's probably going to be some bullshit like this. I'd genuinely surprised if was straight up regular trading or even locked same rarity only or whatever.
>>56884009Oh god, you too?
>>56879557Bro this is the most fun deck I've played with. Thanks for this!
>>56883919>trade away duplicate ex>get ex you don't care about for the first time>can't trade it back unless you get 2 morekino
What are you guys buying with your shop tickets?All monthly hourglasses first?
>>56884027Monthly, yes. I figure I'm saving tickets until I can guarantee next month's batch and then spend the spare on permanent hourglasses until they're all gone.
>>56884027This: >>56883841Make those pokeballs flashy.
>>5688403047 hourglasses... is it worth it?
>>56884035No
>>56884035Didnt mean to reply lol
>>56884035Do it. Don't listen to the top right homies. Follow your heart and listen to your ESP.
Why won't Misty give me head bros... What did I do wrong...
>experimenting with multi energy decks, definitely not good compared to the meta but just want to see how it feels to play>keep getting energy starved one side or anotherok yeah, I'll wait until they add some cards to help support this because holy shit even getting fucked over by Misty doesn't hurt as hard as getting the same energy type 10 turns in a row and then seeing the next energy be the one you needed but you're already fucked
>>56884035nah
>>56884035With 5 bonus picks a day, and getting the hourglass 2/5 times, it would take you 23 days to replace those hourglasses.Is this Pikachu worth 23 days?
>two opponents instantly conceding in a rowlove the free exp
Anyone got the two week premium trial and unsubscribed from it too? Was it a pain in the ass to do?
>>56884060>subscribe>put in gift card with 1 penny to verify>go to settings>subscriptions>unsubscribe
How many shop tickets can you get per day from being thanked?
>>568840705
I had to do was exactly...watch Sonic the Hedgehog...uh, cartoon...an—and listen to what Sonic says at the end of it…and writin' it down for a whole week. And then, I had to mail it in, and I had to be drawn out of a hat, and I just won!
anyone needs this? got one of those god packs maybe you can wonder pick 0919813724252388
2x dragonite2x lapras ex2x kangaskhanis pretty good desu or its just the new deck dopamine rush until I start choking on every match in around 10 minutes
>>56884090nice pulls! especially Misty Full Art will probably be very valuable in trading even deep into the futures gameunless a much better water energy source comes around
>>56884099BASED Chartard demolisherKino Crab is, in fact, kino
>>56884090Great pull! Added.
>>56884087I don't get why this is the rare one when this one looks way cooler
>>56884111It's too funny.
>>56884090Lmao that's not his pulls, its from last thread.
>lost alt account because emulator borked and i forgot to link the account>reroll 3 accounts, one focusing on each packDecide which i link to bros
>>56884099>>56884111>>56884119
>>56884142The one with Sabrina, obviously. I regret not rerolling more for full art trainers and just focusing on poks. I regret it so much bro.
>>56884142Get another Nidoking full art and use a Nido deck like a chad
>>56884142do you use a bot for that?
>>56884035Depending on how trades will work (if they ever get implemented, that is) it will be really worth it if you manage to get it.that said, let me share with you my secret technique that gets me the best card in wonder pick 20% of the times.IMMEDIATELY PRESS THE SKIP BUTTON AS THE RANDOM PICK STARTS AND SELECT THE SPOT WHERE THE CARD YOU WANT IS.
>>56884142The Sabrina. Primo art and half of a Charizard deck. The Nido account could be cool too, but no FA Trainers, so it's trash.
>>56884142usually prioritize full arts since they're much rarer. you can slowly build ex's through wonder packs if you aren't that interested in battling either now or for a little while.
How do I get "flairs"? There's missions here telling me to get them but with nothing saying how to get them.
>>56884175Find a card in your library that you have more than a playset of (2+). Click the flair button. The more common cards need like 3 copies more than a playset. The rarer cards only need 1 extra card.
>>56883863Where the fuck do people find Wonder Picks like this? All of mine are garbage
for me it's the greninja bruxish combo
>6 game loss streak between 3 different decksI'm not....bad, am I?
>>56884142is there a way to get the app in an emulator without signing into Google play
>>56884191Post deck.
>>56884191if you buy a pack maybe you get better draw rng
Why do some zard lists bring the regular one?
>>56884197Because they're poor.
>>56884178Wait, this takes that shinedust stuff? I should be waiting to use this on Pokemon I actually like using, shouldn't it?
>>56884197>why do some decks bring a normal coy of EX pokIt's all about prize points, sometimes you gotta trade poks but can't afford to lose 2 points for an EX. You can see people bring normal Exeggutor, Mewtwo or Zard together with their EX.
>>56884202You get so much that I don't think it matters. I haven't checked in a bit, but I'm pretty sure that I have more than 10k.
>>56884189Me but with Seadra/Tentacruel. Brux is so much fun.
>>56884210>You get so much that I don't think it mattersThe highest rarity cards require metrick fuckton of dust.
>>56884002Attacking for 70 at turn 3 is game winning I don't know why people are pretending that free energy is a bad thing.
>Decided to reroll>Get immersive Mewtwo Ex on the tutorial pack after the guaranteed Exeggutor Ex>Decided to stick with it for a while>Gengar and Wigglytuff Ex (I'm pretty sure these are also guaranteed)>Dreampick another Mewtwo Ex> Another batch of 10 packs gave Articuno Ex, Venusaur Ex, Gengar Ex, and another immersive Mewtwo ExWhat the fuck
3 diamonds Pokémon are only 00.24% more common than ex Pokémon, so always wonder pick for exes instead of 3 diamonds, and buy the 3 diamonds with pack points if you must
>>56884222C-could we be friends
>>56884194I just mad the Dugtrio deck earlier tonight. Out of the 5 games I've played, I've rolled heads once. Then I got Sabrinad. The Ape/Helmet deck is pretty consistent. I broke the losing streak, though. I just had someone forfeit after their Zapdos low rolled right as my Venusaur came online.
I'm level 9. why the fuck do I have to win 50 more times against and endless army of mewtwo exs rats and birds?
>>568842304808095143677396Add me. My phone's charging though so I'll accept requests in a bit.
>>56884217Could be better, but I can't imagine anyone outside of whales is constantly using flairs on FAs.
>>56884193probably if you use an APK
give me an erika wonder pick already
I wish there was a way to use multiple stamina points during a single match of the lapras event
>>56884240Sent. Thanks.
Is there no way to change account other than deleting data?
>>56884237Venu deck is not bad, I wouldn't run both Erika and potions tho.As for the fighting ones, I like to think of my deck like this, a line of fast weaker pokemons as an opener (Primeape/Sandslash/Dugtrio) then build something meanier on the bench (Marowak EX/Machamp/Golem). A deck of Dugtrio and Primeape might have not enough damage to take down big EX pokemons fast enough.>>56884245
>>56884267You can delete the app after binding. Pretty stupid desu
>both my Blastoise EX's have been from top right wonder picksI doubted for a single second and almost went middle, but I believed, and my faith proved true.
>>56884267Only if you uninstall the app and sign into another account manually. Don't click delete data in the settings menu.
>>56884273For me? Its bottom left.
>>56884197Might be because it's a budget option that still drops a heap of damage even if it doesn't oneshot everything and it doesn't give your opponent two points upon getting knocked out.
why bring a regular zard instead of a fire centipede
>>56884295While I agree that Centi is based, with 130 or 140(gio) damage you can't 1HKO Mewtwo. You can still take out birds, Egg EX and other stuff.
what happens if your basic pokemon gets killed first turn and you don't have anything to replace it?
>searched for /ppg/ >>56876429Well this is gonna suck
>>56884322Auto lose.
>>56884322Same thing as the regular TCG, you automatically lose the game
>>56884322You lose.
>>56884322You know like those NPC trainers who only have one pokemon with them? Exactly that
...I wanted the Meowth.
Has anyone not opened a basic in a match yet? Does it automatically mulligan for you until you start with one?
>lapras ex can sometimes not give you a shop ticket even at highest difficultyBoo
>>56884342You are guaranteed one basic in hand.
>>56884322You lose. That's why you need bare minimum 3 basic pokemon. Also why red card is under rated.
>>56884346I figured but I wasnt sure. Guess thats why the 18 trainer deck is somewhat consistent then.
>>56884144Because...why?
>>56884352I like my Articuno/Omastar because of this. If they add some fossil support it will be even better.
Is there a way to automatically organize Wonder Picks by how soon they're set to expire
Nido is too clunky of a concept since you require 12 slots for the whole family, and neither are heavy hitters
>>56884359I thought fossils where the biggest scam in the game.
I feel that I lose 90% of my games because I have bad luck drawing cards not because bad plays. Is every tcg like this?
>>56884367yes
>>56884367It's not called the luck of the draw because you can practice how to get better at it, anon. There will always be a factor of luck. The skill comes in building your deck and adjusting your ratios and choices to maximize your chances of successful outcomes and minimize chances of drawing poorly.
>>56884363I do like Nidokings attack progression though its so satisfying.1 energy for the basic, 2 for the mid Evo, and 3 for the last stage. You can reasonably keep attacking every turn.
>>56884364Aero is a coinflip win or lose, Omastar is decent, Kabutops is only good vs decks weak to fighting, where he can abuse the 70 heal per attack.
>keep playing non-EX Pokemon because I hate the 3D modelsPlease give me some real art for Pokémon I like, please
>got 2 Gengar EXWhat can I do with it?
I feel bad for this nigga, completely overshadowed by the Weez god
>>56884384You can give one to me.
>>56884367>Is every tcg like this?Yes, but learning how to build proper decks will greatly help.
>>56884384>three stage Pokemon that will take at least two turns to be able to stop your opponent from being to do anythingAt best, he's a free win against Misty decks if you get him out before she's in play? He's not in a great position
>>56884367you don't know how to build decks correctly
I want Lanturn to be in the game
>>56884389Cute fat gay boi
>>56884397what do you mean? there is no perfectly consistent deck
>Murkrow>Azumarill>Wobbuffet >TyranitarI just realized that there aren't many generation 2 Pokémon that I would actually consider favorites
>>56884410no but if you're losing 90% of the time to bad draws it's cause your deck is shit
>>56884410Read: >>56884372If you build your deck properly, you can drastically improve consistency. This is the reason why a deck with 2x2 basic pokemon will be much easier to plan around than a deck with 4 unique basics.
>>56884412>>56884413Using this deck if you just don't draw kirlia or gardevoir you are fucked
>He doesn't have the Pokeball flair on his Pokeball cards
I wish the Nidoqueen deck was better and more meta.
>>56884414>if you just don't draw X, you are fuckedYeah, that's every deck, dumbass. That's the luck part. In that deck, you have 2 tutors and +4 card draw with 5 basics. That's pretty damn consistent, so it's down to luck. You could drop the Jynx if you really want to trim the fat, but that's super risky considering the deck's play style (hide the Ralts, stall until Mewtwo wakes up).
>Get flair>Doesn't show up in battles???
>>56884350PUT MY WIFE IN THE GAME, DeNA!!
>>56884411>Crobat>Xatu>Umbreon>Murkrow>Misdreavus and Gligar if they get their evos>Sneasel even if it doesn't>Scizor>Swinub if we get Mamoswine>TyranitarThere's definitely Gen2 pokemon I'm interested in even if they aren't my "favorites"
>>56884420MY MAN.I'd have all of the promo items decked out if the flairs weren't shit. The potion looks good with the blue twinkly effect.
>>56884424That's I was saying >>5688436 I don't lose too much but when I do I just lose because I didn't draw kirlia or gardevoir
>>56884435>>56884367
>>56884428Equip it when making your deck anon
>>56884435>my deck depends on specific cards and when i don't get them I lose! yeah... duh. If you don't like that you can try to build a deck that runs more generally good threats, the mewtwo deck is essentially a combo deck and that is always the risk of running a combo deck if you don't get the combo pieces you lose.
I just realized that since water is meta in the gen 1 packs gen 2 water mons will be garbage to force people to roll for different type support so Feraligtr will probably be useless, if misty cursed one of my favorites I will nuke her and every Starmie and Articuno I see in any game
>They red carded my stage 1 I needed to win the gameIt's over.>Get the stage 1 in the three card drawI'm back!
>>56884435>Riddle me this, Batman. >Why do I lose when I don't draw the necessary card? >My Mewtwo is strong, but he needs his hand held. >I want to climb the ladder, but I find it quite hard. >Without this struggle, I would have excelled.
I want this guy to be good but... he's just shit isn't he? 2 stage that needs 3 energy just to hit for 80...
I can't believe people talk about Articuno Ez more than Starmie Ex when the latter is so fucking nuts it should be illegal.
>>56884450Red Card is a meme. Don't let the redditor armchair intellectuals tell you otherwise. You were always meant to have those 3 cards in hand. The opponent was just following destiny's call.
>>56884450>have Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir, X-Speed in hand>Opponent Red Cards>Draw Ralts, Kirlia, GardevoirOutskilled
>>56884350my favourite isn't in the game yet
>>56884461>Articuno EzI don't get it either. I've never been scared of an Articuno Ex. When Starmie switches in, my butthole clenches just a little bit.
>>56884443>>56884452or I could play another game that never relies on luckgoodbye fags
>>56884477>he's mad about randomness in a card game how did you think this worked anon?
>>56884450Out of all the times I've been red carded I can only remember ONE situation of it actually turning out bad, now the scope that's the real high IQ item.
>sfx rare sound from Charizard pack>Star MeowthI would had rather gotten nothing.
this game needs more search cardsit's total bullshit that basic decks like pikachu and mewtwo can whip out everything they need with pokeball, while evolution based decks are entirely at the mercy of the drawi've been experimenting with blastoise ex, and 75% of the time it loses is because the game just won't give me a fucking evolution cardat the very least they should create another ball card that gives you a random evolution pokemonobviously RNG will ultimately decide who wins at the end of the day, but at least this way you have more chances
>everyone talks about bent/reversed packs>everyone talks about wonder pick positionWhy doesn't anybody talk about whether you open packs left to right or right to left?
Gen 1 pokemon represented: 151Gen 2: 0Gen 3: 4Gen 4: 0Gen 5: 22Gen 6: 7Gen 7: 6Gen 8: 7Gen 9: 0It's interesting that Gen 5 got quite a few despite 2, 4 and 9 all getting nothing.
>decided to try my hand at account rerolling>it's the most boring an mind-numbing process
>>56884430Unfortunately not likely given that none of the Gen 1s got their later evolutions
>>56884460He’s mediocre and probably not worth running. In theory, his ability threatens a damage output of 100 after attacking, or 180 if you can survive at least one attack. It’s just a lot of work to get him on the field, and by the time he’s there, the opponent can likely 1 or 2 shot him. Poliwrath’s ability would be really strong in the early game.
So, I've burned through all my F2P pulls.I've opened about 110 packs.This is my collection so far. Did I get lucky, or is this trash?
>>56884447Misty may be the huge meme right now but it's not Pikachu that just beats you to death by having a full bench. Granted it wouldn't surprise me if the Pika deck goes untouched by the whatever the next full set brings in and everyone below it gets hit by a truck.
>>56884496Im betting next set is going to focus on gen 2 and some gen 4 evos like magnezone, magmortar, electivire
>>56884477toppest of keks. I've never actually seen someone get this salty over a basic mechanic of gameplay. >another game that never relies on luckGood luck finding a game with 0 crit mechanics. I can't think of a single game from any genre with no luck. Even shit like CoD has random bullet spread. Just stop playing games altogether if you're going to be this much of a little bitch.
>>56884490>this game needs more search cardsI expect we will get them in next sets.>>56884508>Erika, Misty and GioAmazing.
>>56884496I don't think it's that interesting. They needed some filler mons and it makes no sense to make filler out of the next few sets. Exception for Gardevoir to bait waifu paypigs early.
>>56884490>game is two weeks old>20 card decks>WHY CAN'T I HAVE MORE THAN 10% OF MY DECK BE TUTORS? THIS IS NOTHING LIKE YUGIOH
>>56884508>Two exeggutorGood, you make a gra- where's your pair of Venusaur ex?>Multiple Charizard exNice, this is a really strong card. You can make this de- where are your two Moltres ex?>Two Marowak exYou can at least make this deck. Surely you have a couple of cubones since they're so common.>Multiple Pikachu exYou lack Zapdos ex, but you can definitely make these work.>2 Starmie exGet some Lapras ex from the event and you can make an offshoot of the most cancerous water deck.
>>56884510Wouldn’t surprise me, but I’m not sure if they consider gen 2 popular enough to be the focus for a set. The lack of dark and steel support seems like an obvious clue, though.I have absolutely no idea what the upcoming mini set will focus on. I was thinking red / blue are still options for trainer supports, but there’s only snorlax and the eevee crew left as likely ex candidates in that scenario.>>56884490Relax, it’s coming. Complaining this much about deck balance in the first set is pretty funny. These things fluctuate over time with any tcg, and it’s not uncommon for a game’s launch to have balance / support issues. I’ve seen way worse in other games.
You have to unlock Flairs?That's just awful
I HAVE FIGURED IT OUTThe mini set will be based around regional forms of gen 1 pokemonGet ready for EX Alolan Ninetails
>go first>lose>go second>winRiveting gameplay
Delta Species when
>>56884514 >>56884524I expect them to come too. It's just ridiculous to me that it wasn't included in the base set given that so many decks rely on evolution. It's not like this is the first Pokemon TCG - the main game gives more than enough proof that you need some degree of search.
>>56884529>go first >opponent uses misty + blizzard on turn two>win anywayYou’re just bad, anon.
>>56884529>he doesn't like coin flips within coin flips gameplay

Any advice for a Dnite bro?
game would be infinitely better if instead of coin flips you had to do rock/paper/scissors with your opponent
>>56884506was thinking of putting him with butterfree but then it's 2, 2 stage mons and that never feels good. I think the butterfree/meltan combo is just better.
>>56884539>hackers taking 0 damageI believe that’s actually a feature of marowak ex.
>>56884529>start match>somehow opponent fails to set up basic spam deck properly>lose anyway because the game refuses to let you draw an evolution cardincredible gameplay experience
>>56884542>cue the ginyu force gifNo
game would actually just be more interesting if ex cards didn't exist. they just overpower every mechanic that would be interesting if they didn't exist, like a bruxish greninja combo and stuff like that
>>56884538Effect: Flip a coin. If heads, flip coins until you get tails. For each heads, flip a coin. If the number of heads is even, flip a coin. If heads, target pokemon recovers health equal to the number of coins flipped.
>>56884532>wasn't included in the base setYou haven't played a TCG on launch before, have you? Starting Magic, Yugioh, and the Pokemon TCG 20 years in might make this game seem like shit, but it's not even a month old yet. This is genuinely one of the best launch sets I've played in a TCG. It's very well balanced for only having 200 cards. >inb4 BUT PIKACHUYeah, all metas have strong cards. Pikachu probably won't mean shit in 3 months once the new set launches. Things come and go.
>>56884554Kinda true desu. Weezing decks and Meltan decks feel like the only ones that actually get to do interesting stuff and they don't rely on EX cards. There aren't really any other non EX mons worth building around.
>>56884549Funny, I ran into the first hacker when my Marowak got double heads and his koffing tanked it for 0.
>>56884542That would drastically slow the game down. We'd go from ~7 minute games to ~15 minutes easily.>play Misty>spend the next 5 minutes playing rps due to server lag/neither of us can throw once the Misty player hits 4 winsI would probably uninstall if this happened even once.
>>56884554Almost doesn't matter. Some other thing will take it's place as "more busted than the others". You see it happen in any meta.
I do not Thank Mewtwo players.
>opponent plays 2 staryus>I play tauros + an energy>opponent plays misty, gets tails on first flip>opponent concedesLmao
>>56884566Primape/kabutops decks also
>>56884574I do not Thank anyone. What did they do to deserve my Thanks?
>>56884554I'm not mad that they exist, but it would have been nice if we had a set or two before they launched. They're big, flashy, and hit hard, so I'm not surprised they were included. What do you think the odds are of them adding other special types of cards like Break?
>>56884575you lmao but there is literally no reason to continue a mistycuno match if you don't get the insta win coin flip. there's no punishment for losing and you can immediately queue into the next coin flip instead of spending 5 minutes (probably) losing.
>>56884579Put up with you for 5 minutes
>>56884579concede when I've already won.
>>56884578true. I wonder if there's anything cool could be done with this guy? The ability is strong but the fact he has to be in the active spot kinda limits things... what about Victreebel/Aerodactyl deck maybe?
>>56884558>Pikachu probably won't mean shit in 3 months once the new set launches.This. Zapdos ex is the only thing gluing that deck together right now, and once a fast pika counter or sufficient support for existing decks releases, it’s over for the deck. Pika is very strong, but people are overlooking a couple of major flaws that aren’t going to age well.
>>56883841Based. So fucking gay that you have to buy the default flair before you even get to see what the other options are. Wish I knew what it looked like for some of the other cards
>>56884579same

>>56884581>there is literally no reason to continue a mistycuno match if you don't get the insta win coin flipI put one in the dirt even after he won the insta win coin flip.
>>56884593What about Arbok PidgeottoIt's such an annoying deck to deal with
>>56884595yea happens
>>56884598don't see any potential there
>>56884579played the game normally and didn't do anything faggy like stall or BMi don't thank articuno players when they get lucky with misty
>>56884598it's a meme at best bro
>>56884593>Not mentioning the KINGler
>>56884603It's annoying if you don't have good pokemons active and at least one benched and ready since once they force you to switch your active pokemon to a weaker one, their arbok will simply force you to use that pokemon with its attack
>>56884604>played the game normally and didn't do anything faggy like stall or BMWhat, I'm supposed to Thank them for doing the bare minimum to be a decent opponent? Do you think you get pussy by opening doors for girls too?
>>56884604>BMHow do you even BM in this game outside of timer stalling? I get a little annoyed when my opponent plays their entire hand only to concede at the start of my turn, but I assume they’re only trying to demonstrate “I got nothing”. Probably wouldn’t bother me at all if they just let me swing for the knockout.
>>56884593Weezing is the best of them considering how many other cards you can combo him with. >weezing/arbok/muk deck>weezing/greninja deck >weezing/muk/hypno deck >weezing/muk/butterfree deck >weezing/wigglytuff deck
Is there a Maintenance? My game's stuck at the logo.
>>56884496>gen 2, 4, and 9 have zero repsHOLY BASED, these pocket tcg devs, they know their stuff.
>>56884619yes if you can't get set up or disrupt them before they evolve their pidgey all the way into a pidgeot and evolve their ekans it can be pretty annoying ur right bro, best deck ever
I have been doing my free daily pulls on the Mewtwo pack, but I want to get the Primeape and I'm told it's from the Charizard pack. Should I just use pack points, or is there anything else worthwhile to chase there?
>>56884622>being polite to roastiesThat isn't the bare minimum, my dude. Not making their life worse is the bare minimum. If you completely ignored them, you would be a net neutral in their life. If you open the door for them, then you're having a beneficial effect on their life. Anyway, that's all besides the point. Make a decent community and spread the tickets to other players. Doing so will give them more packs to open and therefore increase their happiness with no effort/resources on your part. Thanking people after a match is literally the shopping cart test of this game and you've failed.
>>56884634>he got banned
>>56884634>>56884644nvm just had VPN on, kek
>>56884623>but I assume they’re only trying to demonstrate “I got nothing”Anybody over the age of 17 should have this mindset. Just be mature and remember that it's a kid's game. I'm not going to throw my phone at the wall just because he top-decked a Sabrina that cost me the match.
>>56884498>make new account>decide to go all in on Charizard packs (meaning my guaranteed starter FA was Charmander)>go through the tutorial and get enough hourglasses for a 10 pack>the only EXs I get are a Pinsir (which I already have) and THREE Full Art CharmandersHoly shit, this account is turbo cursed.
>>56884615I have not encountered a single Kingler deck, had to look up what he does even. I guess he does seem kinda good, essentially a Marowak EX that needs one more energy to attack but is guaranteed to hit for at least 80.
>>56884642>with no effort/resourcesMaybe if you're a little bitch with no pride. In Tallahassee, you don't kowtow to somebody or offer your gratitude unless they have done something seriously amazing, actually life impacting for you.
any android emu that isn't chinese spyware (mumu player)?

>2 Pikachu EX>tons of good electric basics >No Zapdos EX>1 dratini, 2 dragonair, 3 dragoniteGiven the amount of pity currency I have I guess I should maybe snipe for Zapdos ex and just craft / wonder pick Dratini / Dragonite?Yes I know dragonite isn’t the best but it’s very fun Speaking of DNite, best filler for it? I think I see people run Kang or frosmoth or basic articuno
>>56884681Articuno/misty
>>56884679Ignore him, people from Florida are complete retards. >t. lived there for a few years
>>56884684I have 2 Articuno and Misty already but no StarmieCharizard pack seems shit
>>56884681Pika isn’t all that without zapdos ex, so you should keep an eye out for wonder pick pulls. That being said, I fully expect pika to fall off by the second set. Up to you whether or not you think it’s worth pursuing.
>>56884690>Charizard pack seems shitThere's basically nothing of worth there unless you want to build Charizard.dek
>>56884690The Blaine deck is literally the nest non-RNG f2p deck currently available.

>wonder pick options have been shit for 36+ hours>need to spend stamina>get a second copy of pic relFine. I guess I’ll make a degenerate deck when the promo releases.
I wish I could pull up my pull history. I haven’t pulled anything of value during this entire week’s worth of dailies. I think I’ve gotten three triple diamonds and a star (full art cubone).

>>56884735i punch a few walls and throw some stuff
Hello, MewTwoGOD here.After playing a lot, I think Mewtwo is the best deck, Pika 2nd.Pike will almost never beat a double Mewtwo draw though.Optimal list:2 Mewtwo ex2 Ralts2 Middle Ralts2 Gaurds2 Fossil2 Professor Oak2 Pokeball2 Ex Speed2 Sabrina1 Red Card1 Google1GiovanniYou may not like it, but this is what top performance looks like.
>>56884740Weezing + Koga alone can bully some decks, and you can pair them with Muk, Alakazam, Wigglytuff or Dragonite. Best Weezing decks utilize dark energy tho.
>tfw probably the luckiest f2p player in this general in terms of rarity cards but wanna reroll cause I wish I hadn't rolled any pikachu packs and just gone full charizard/m2 insteadI can't even play a real pika deck cause I'm missing zappiboi
>>56884746Obviously I'm a filthy phone poster and it made gio into Google at first.
>>56884746what's the idea of standalone fossils in a deck? do they not give the enemy player a point when killed and can stall for a turn that way?
>>56884757They're for when you have nothing else on bench. Then you can sac them to style on your opponent when forfeiting.
Just lived the turn 1 dream with Misty and LaprasLove my girls
>>56884740Basically you have to cut Muk and you just rely on the constant chip damage. Any Weezing deck that's not playing only Dark enery has to cut Muk. You probably could try a version with Dark only and just 1 of the Greninja line if you wanted to keep Muk in for burst.
>>56884746I'm pretty similar except instead of fossils I use a single copy of Jynx and a potion
>>56884746>Pika will almost never beat a double Mewtwo draw I’m a pika player, and this is correct. Pika is fast relative to the typical fodder you see on the board during the early game. It struggles really hard to clear two mewtwo ex in a game, and that actually leads me to an issue I have with your deck: no potion. Potion is great for denying pika decks valuable knockouts in a matchup where it already struggles a bit to get them.As for mewtwo being the better deck, I’m not sure that it currently is, but I think it has a very real chance of aging better than pika as the meta changes. Mewtwo gets downplayed too much in the current meta for whatever reason.
>>56884693That’s where Starmie is tho
>>56884746>Mewtwo is betterResults are king, my dude.
>>56884693not true. starmie ex is in there, erika is in there, whole blaine deck is in there, sabrina is in there, greninja is in there... imo charizard has a lot more to offer than pika. mewtwo ofc has the highest density of best cards
>>56884780Same anon hereI forgot that Mewtwo won this event. kek I'm retarded. Maybe you really are god.
>>56884735Your acting like it's a vendetta and not just proper sense is what's weird. Giving thanks when nothing noteworthy was done devalues the concept of gratitude. I don't do things without meaning.
>Open two sabrinas when it does nothing>Never have them when it can win me the game>Open two giovannies when the gap to kill is 20hp>But never when it's 10>My opponent always starts with double pokeball and double professor oakOkay, that's enough games for today

>>56884836he's obviously joking and you're the retard here
Should I use my trans tickets for these? How do I even “consume high rarity cards in My Cards” anyway? I can’t find the option
>>56884825Did you mean to reply to me
>>56884095What's the rest of your deck list? I've been playing 2x Dragonite 1x Kangaskhan and 1x Meowth and it's pretty fun but I certainly didn't have win consistency
>>56884839It's under flair, you need dupes
Fair and balanced
>>56884839>Should I use my trans tickets for these?NoThe consume thing is under flair. You can use this on high enough rarity cards.
>>56884839I’ve only seen the option on my illustration rare pikachus (4 copies). Doesn’t seem worth obliterating potential trade bait.
>start playing pocket>open facebook after 6 months>the firsts posts are about pockethow do they do it?
>>56884852It's funny because this is so much energy that it's potentially detrimental on the offchance the other player has something like Jynx
>>56884839I only consume the alt-art pincers for those. I fucking hate pincer. Its a vagina with legs and has shitty stats.
>>56884858How many of the special tickets did it offer for consuming those?

Wish we knew how trading works. This would be an instant must roll if we knew for sure that we don't need 3 copies to trade.
>>56884897The real TCG client isn't marketed towards everyone on earth like pocket is
I put together this list. These are imo the cards worth opening each respective pack for. Cards that can be useful. Pre-evos included, naturally. And yes, I think Rapidash/Ninetales can be worthwhile with Blaine.
>>56884880Its just text on a screen, bro.
>>56884905Its so they have room to print powercreep cards. Something that doesnt need a coinflip to remove energy
>>56884916Oh wait, I forgot the original games aren't available for Japan for some fucking reason.
>>56884897>ugly as fuck player avatarsOnly a woman would care about something like this. The game is popular right now because it's new and simple as shit compared to the original. That, and we're in that drought of pokemon content that happens in between generations. The normies are going to fall off fast and hard in less than two weeks. After that, we'll have the more serious pokemon fans until the next gen game drops on the Switch 2.
ZAMN
>>56884936Very nice
>>56884915You will 100% need at least 3 copies to trade
>>56884918>text on a screenYeah, and I'm surprised you ever learned how to read it.
>>56884936Dang niceI feel like Charizard is the most common crown, I have 2 of it and neither of the others. I hope I can trade them.
>>56884936>the crowns are ugly as shitFeels bad, man. Until recently, I genuinely thought that the immersives were the top cards. Mewtwo's is shit, but Pika and Charizard have excellent immersive art. Nice pulls, anon.
Should I turn them into special tickets
>>56884971Yes
>>56884915you'll need 3 copies to trade.you'll need 1-4 trade stamina per trade depending on rarity all trades are wonder trades
>>56884757Fossils are great tempo. It's just a free retreat mon for Sabrina and sometimes to soak up a hit. They're really good. >>56884770Jinx is ass. You're fucking up your odds of opening on Mewtwo and Pokeball into Mewtwo. Potion is medium in this deck>>56884772Potion still doesn't beat 2 full pika ex swinfs. I see what you're saying, but I prefer my list.
>>56884903Don't care, fashion is what matters the most ecks dee
>>56884971Wait and see if the trade system makes them useful.
>>56884917Thanks anon, we could really throw these on catbox and link it in the OP
>>56884871Imagine my rage when pic related happened. I wanted the gloom.
>Missing one Zapdos Ex to finish a Pikachu deck>Missing one Marowak Ex to finish a Marowak deck>Missing one Misty and one Starmie ex to finish an Articuno deckJesus, building lists in this game is both quick and annoying. I'm lucky I managed to brew an Arbok/Weezing deck in 4 days tho.
>>5688452190% of the deck is Ex Eggie anyway. Venu either bricks you turn 1 or comes out too slow.
>>56884521I had better luck with 1 Venusaur than 2, idk.
do people consider conceding rude or can i do it without feeling bad?
>>56884987>>56884917I might redo it a bit and order each pack by usefulness, they kind of are, except for charizard where I put all the trainers at the end. might also include electrode in pika, but honestly you don't want anything other than pika and zapdos in an electro deck, and that's p much the only electro deck there is
>>56884917A handful of these cards aren't great, but I'd say 85%+ of this list is solid. I always forget which list I should be focusing on, so thanks for giving me a quick reference to look at.
>>56884978>You're fucking up your odds of opening on Mewtwo and Pokeball into Mewtwo. I'm not a lucklet so this isn't a problem for me.
>>56884996nice pic
>>56885005I concede the second they put down misty or Moltres ex
>>56885005rosa is so cute
I want the misty full art just because im a pervert i dont even use water types my main deck is grass
>>56885005I love when people concede, please feel free to do it often and quickly.
>>56885005If I know I'm getting my ass beaten(because of an extremely bad hand) I concede and give a thanks
>>56885005People want you to concede. Continuing to play when you know you've lost is dumb.
>>56884978>Potion still doesn't beat 2 full pika ex swingsIn most games, you aren’t taking 2 full ex pika swings on one mewtwo (or at least, I’m not swinging that quickly unless I go second and have a set up bench). Potion prevents mewtwo from getting chipped into pika range by zebstrika or 60 damage pika swings. The pika win con is reliant on swapping a 90 damage swing in on a mewtwo that can’t retaliate. Barring that, there’s always zapdos ex, but (just) lol.Just something to consider from the perspective of someone running a very sweaty pika deck. If my deck doesn’t get what it needs by turn 5/6, it’s very difficult to win without chipping the opponent into pika range or gambling on zapdos. Potion keeps you out of the relevant 90 + 10 threshold.
>always finish my game with 60 seconds or more on my timer than my opponentWhy are you guys so slow? Does it really take that much effort to babysit a Mewtwo?
>>56884917rapidash is in all three, obv best with blaine thoon a first look I mostly agree except maybe butterfree and melmetal, very borderlinealso bruxish is trash, don't run that cardand you missed aerodactyl in mewtwo
>>56885008I assure you, you're playing a sub-optimal list.I feel confident vs. everything.Funnily enough, the worst matchup is weezing arbokI think if next set has a good dark pokemon, Mewtwo will get worse. For the time being, it's certainly the best deck in my mind. Pikachu is easier to play and also very good, but skilled Mewtwo player will beat a skilled Pikachu player more often than he will lose imo
>>56885007>A handful of these cards aren't greatimo the only questionable one is jinx. which ones do you have in mind? I think all of these can see some play and he useful, for example tentacruel can pair decently with weezing, and greninja is also a good combo with weezing or bruxish.
>>56885005>being this self-conscious Women shouldn't be playing this game. Forfeit if you've lost your heavy hitter and there's no way you could conceivably get the second copy online before you get your shit kicked in. Other than that, never give up. Fight until the bitter end.
you did go for all 50, right
>>56884917How can butterfree be any good?How can rapidash be any good?How can Blaine be any good?Where the fuck is pidgeot?Where the ACTUAL FUCK is Dragonite?

>>56885038Give it to me straight, where does Venu/Eggy Stand?It feels like it goes wild if you go first and top deck ex exeggutor but almost every other possibility gets you rolled on. Also matches up really badly against Mewtwo

>>56885005Conceding when checkmated is polite.
This is a reminder that if you're not playing high risk coinflip cards you're a fucking loser.
>>56885049Caterpie is nuts, Butterfree only has a 1 energy retreat cost and can prop up your team with team wide potions every single turn while you rotate shit to set up for Venusaur. It's a lot harder to displace an Eggex that has 2 turns of healing, and with a Venusex up you're healing 50hp per turn rather than 30. Get both up and it's 70/turn. I dunno dude look at this shit
>>56885028Thanks for the advice. Gio has been kinda as so maybe I'll swap for potion and see how it goes

How was I supposed to win against Lebron bro
Which emulator are people using?
>>56885040You called out most of the cards I was thinking about dropping. Pikachu: I love Dugtrio and he's cute with a nice gimmick, but he does shit-all for damage with a miniscule health pool. I think Butterfree is too big an investment to be considered for any competitive deck. Hypno's eh. Mewtwo: I'm not a Mewtwo player, but I get the feeling that 2 energy on Jynx is a lot to invest when you could have a Kangaskhan serve almost the exact same function. Muk isn't something anyone would pull for unless they specifically wanted to build a Muk deck. Why pair Tentacruel with a Weezing when all either of them do is poison the enemy? Tentacruel only makes sense with something like a Muk or Nidoking, both of which would just rather have Weezing because then your deck isn't dual typed. Charizard: I don't think Greninja is deserving of a spot. That's just me, though. That's it. Melmetal is a retarded deck, but it's fun.
>>56885100I use Mumu12
>>56885094I'd try it but I'm not opening pika packs
>>56885088It's going to be the next premium pass card, most likely, so 20 days from now.
>>56885049Idk shit about butterfree but I always beat it w mewtwo. Rapidash is good.Pidgeot is bad and hosed by simple fossilsDragonite is like a dogshit Charizard without Moltres for energy acceleration.
>>56885005>No concedingFine. Seen people say it's actively rude to not concede once the opponent has win condition, but I don't agree.>Conceding once opponent has win conditionTotally fair, if you absolutely know your opponent can win on the next interaction then it's simply just handshake admitting a loss.>Conceding because stuff isn't going well for you (bad coin flip etc.)Actually rude.
>>56885100I used the latest version of bluestacks last night and it worked fine. I wish the game had a landscape option so it doesn’t take up only like 25% of the screen thoughAlso another nice morning pull
>>56885084>4 rounds just to gamble a potential 200 damage or 0You might as well just play Dragonite.
>>56884887depends on the rarity, Articuno EX Full Art no rainbow offered 5
>>56885113Take the vertical 2nd monitor pill.Alternatively and even better, take the LG DualUp pill.
>>56885111The only good thing about Dragonite is that you can fuck with people with Koga/Weezing and trainer cards while you setup.
>>56885051I bet your idea of fashion is buying Faded Glory shit from Walmart.
>>56885005Yeah I never give thanks to anyone who concedes. Either take your loss like a man or fuck off. Confuses the hell out of me when people try to add me as a friend after they rage quit
>>56884989>android users have to press their volume button to take screenshotsKek. Also damn fellow trainer, that sucks
I will always conceed when the writing is on the wall and I have no outs.I will never conceed otherwise.I don't play any coin flip cards.
>>56885126You only get 100 friend slots and you spam battles - how would you even recognize this scenario
>>56885094it's another 'get lucky with misty or die on tempo' deckbut lapra*** has less bricks
>>56885126>trip poster>being a retardName a more iconic duo
>>56884350I need to actually learn how to play this, but my favorite is a pain to support.
>>56884746Enter a tour anonbro, that’s the only way to prove it for sure
>>56885005You only get exp for winning. You should immediately concede if it looks like you're unlikely to win or you have any bad RNG
>>56885138Keep being a rage quitting pussy, we all see it
>>56885085nta, but that's literally best case scenario. It's not exactly fair to judge the deck on the >5% of games where this happens. >9 minutes off the timerDo Mewtwo players really?
>>56885132Agreed. Coinflip cards are for low skill players, unfortunately they're the only way to hard counter the mewtwo and pikachu decks, which are also for low skill players.
>>56885103Anon here. I forgot to talk about the cards in all packs. It's a moot point to list them since you'll be pulling for them no matter what, but >BruxishCome on, man. You're trolling.
>>56885143I care enough to tell you that I don't care. You do you, tripfag.
>>56885113>I wish the game had a landscape optionPreach, brother.>>56885120I've got a second screen. I just want to see more of the game.
>>56885126Consneeding is not rage quiting retard
>>56885151>t. guy who couldn’t top a tourney if his life depended on it“low skill” lmao
>>56885061This funny egg tree carries my behind.Multiple games Ivysaur or Venusar made themselves comfy at the bottom of the deck while Eggs beats the opponent's mons to death.>>56885094Blastoise is the only Kanto starter that has a smooth energy curve. Having access to Misty is nice for it since you can potentially get Boosted Hydro Pump off.
Fossiltwo bros, what's the decklist?
>>56885191You mean fossilape, right?
>>56885197List for ants
>>56885141I will at some point.Of course, there's always a shit load of variance, especially if it's best of 1.It makes me laugh people just blindly assume the winner is the best build of a deck/the best deck.I played MTG and Yugioh at professional level growing up, and people make the same stupid analysis.I would win countless matches over the years by just playing the theoretically correct build instead of copy pasting whatever won last week.
>>56885168Turn it vertically then sarIssue closed
>>56884142>focus on each pack >2 mewtwo accounts and one charizard. zero Pikachu
as an alakazam deck do I just lose against wheezing
>>56885145Thoughts? I've won a few matches but I think this could be better
>>56885173Keep coping, if you ever copecede it’s a telltale sign you’re salty/a vaginaAlso big thanks to the guy who recommended just turning my 2nd monitor sideways, bretty cool
>>56885200>this guy doesn't recognize all 226 cards along with attacks, effects, abilities, and retreat costs based off a reduced, pixelated imageCasual.
>>56885216this but unironicallyits been out for like 2 weeks lmao
>>56885208Thanks, man. That helped a lot.
>>56883884I use Charizard deck and I have yet to lose to a Mewtwofag. If you don't waste your deck space on Red Cards you really are unstoppable once your Charizard is up to five energies upon going into active. Have two X Speeds and some anti Sabrina fodder that only awards one point to the opponent and you'll be fine.
>>56885215>Tripfag is also a mistytroon who couldn't figure out he should turn his monitor sidewise without somebody suggesting it to himThey're not sending their best.
>>56885215>>56885225Oh. I'm retarded kekMy second monitor has a 4:3 ratio, though, so this wouldn't work for me. I bought it to watch old WWE and the X Files while I'm playing games on the main monitor.
>>56885154>Bruxish>Come on, man. You're trolling.>guy who doesn't understand greninjas inclusion also doesn't understand bruxishmakes sense. that said, bruxish is definitely outer fringe case but it's not totally useless imo.
>>56884237Venusaur is good but I hope you know the only way it works is an active Lilligant ramping Venusaur on the bench. It's very dependent on drawing the correct cards in the correct order. If possible I would stick with standard Venusaur because Lilligant often dies and losing 2 more points with the EX is game over. I think Venusaur EX makes a better pair with Exeggutor EX. The main priority with Lilligant is brining Venusaur online but if you don't have all the pieces you have to stall and rotate your Pokemon around to avoid losing points. It's a stall deck and you have lots of healing.Primape is good but it only works if it's out early. I don't think Dugtrio is very good, it's random but I think I have only lost to it once because it was combined with Hypno. I have never faced Kabutops and I'm trying to get it but I think it needs to stall, something Primape might not be able to provide. The best partner I have seen for Primeape is Marrowak EX.
thoughts on this crustacean?
>>56885243not good.
>>56885212Eggs is a great card stuck without a good 2nd pokemon. I tried a few configs and it was never good enough. Even something like a strong butterfree ex would be huge.
>>56885247He heard you
>>56885243there are better options for the slot
>>56885243Slowbro but green
>see mewtwo>get to play my favorite card
>>56885243needs an EX
How to fix my pikadeck?
>>56885262kill pinurchin add another voltorb
>>56885249pretty much my assessment exactly. he's a strong early game opener but he needs a game ender that doesn't exist yet.a good meganium ex (or even celebi) in a hypotherical upcoming johto pack would be pretty sick
>>56884363>>56884374Nidoking/Weezinghttps://files.catbox.moe/agvmjl.mp4
>>56885262drop 1 red cardget zebstrika
>>56885271I only have 1 Voltorb.
>>56885212Why would you only have 1 Pot of Greed?
has anyone tried playing moltres with arcanine ex instead of charizard?
>>56884460This guy raped me, given I did have terrible draws but he is effectively dealing 100 for 3. Nothing under 100 can hit you and survive, 110 if you have Giovanni. The problem is getting him early and keeping him alive. I can't wait to get him and pair him with some nice support like Butterfree or Hypno. I like his potential.
>>56885280its over, unwinnable deck
>>56885212There's literally no reason not to run 2 pokeballs and 2 Oaks
>my Jolteon hit four heads and one-shot a Mewtwo EXfeels good
>>56884490Hydro Bazooka should give him 2 water energy to attach to any water Pokemon in a call back to Rain Dance.
top right wonder pick just gave me my second gardevoirbut then I couldn't take a screenshot in time before the thanks screen popped up and I got annoyed and wanted to remove it and didn't send a thanks...
>Turn 1>I had bad luck and only had one Pokemon I could put down>They use misty>Lapras ex gets 3 energy>Instant KO>No Pokemon to switch in>Lose the match on turn 1 before I even get turn
>>56884490>i've been experimenting with blastoise ex, and 75% of the time it loses is because the game just won't give me a fucking evolution cardIt's even worse for Omastar and fossil cards.
>>56884508I would keep it but I don't think this is real.
>4 heads in a row into victory>Game still says my most valuable card was a Koffing that did like 20 damageR N GR N GARE EN GE
>>56885176Keep gambling anon. Surely you'll get heads next time.
>>56885305Why can people attack in the first turn?
>>56885212Fuck if I know, man. I'm a Venu/Lilli player. My deck doesn't have room to swap in a stage 2 family. I haven't even pulled an Egg, but I wouldn't play it if I did because I think that pokemon is retarded and the card art is ugly as sin. >>56885241>but I hope you know the only way it works is an active LilligantWell, duh. It's just a simpler/more reliable combo deck than Mewtwo. >dependent on drawing the correct cardsEvery deck is reliant on drawing the right cards, dummy. I'm so tired of seeing this argument. >Lilligant often diesI do drop a Lilligant in more than 50% of matches, but by then my Venusaur is online, so it doesn't matter. I invest minimal resources in keeping Lilligant alive and only when it'll buy me a turn needed for Venusaur. Otherwise, all potions and Erikas go to the toad swinging his big dick around.>Lilligant is bad because it dies and gives opponents a point. Egg Ex is better even though it's coin reliant and gives the opponent two points while simultaneously slowing down Venu's ramp.wat>It's a stall deck and you have lots of healing.That's why Lilligant is good. It literally doubles the speed of the deck, which in turn makes you less reliant on healing. I deleted the Dug deck. It was a cute idea, but it sucked. They're both fast, but can't do shit for damage past turn 5 while also being fragile. I like the Ape/Tops combo because Kabutops takes over as Ape slows down. I reeeeeally want an Ape/Vegas deck, but I haven't pulled any Boneheads yet.
>>56884554My non ex decks can probably beat your ex deck
>>56884460his attack is just a weaker and slower articuno/lapras, and being non-ex doesnt justify it. the only reason to play him is for his ability is already outclassed by greninja. you can still get wins with him though if you just like the poliwrath. the thing that really hurts him is that he needs to take hits to get anything from the ability, but he has no way to sustain himself or water-type support to do that for him. stage 2's are so much effort to play that you wouldn't want someone who's ability is "lose fighting"
>>56885325yea if I pull garbage, doesn't change the point
>>56884936Definitely feels like 10 pulls get rarer pulls more regularly.
>>56885005I thought it was polite to concede so I started doing it but I think some people like to see the battle through. I never concede anymore and maybe they want the point for their stats. Anybody that gets mad for someone not conceding has a personal problem. In this game it's just one turn and a second. You're not stalling them for 50 turns or something.
>>56885297I want a Jolteon deck so bad, but I have shit for electric cards. What other pokemon are you running? I was thinking maybe a Pikachu deck if I ever got it, but having Eevees in there would fuck up Pika's tempo.
First win with the Gyarados deck. Gyarados didnt get to play
>>56885030>>56885145Honestly yes, but I promise you I’ll play quickly if I can get a Gardevoir out turn 3 :^) >>56885282https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/pocket-legens-league-6/player/tauros/decklist
>>56884989That's a cute Lapras
the sad truth is that the pokemon tcg is almost always a choice between>boring strategy that you can actually pull of in a game>interesting strategy that is too slow to ever use
>>56885356>cheeky 1-1 aerodactyl setupyeh im throwing this into all my lists now
>>56883833Whoever suggested weezing pairs good with dragonite fuck you man
I just realized my dark deck has 2 Nidorina/2 Nidoqueen while I own 0 Nidoran Fs
it's one thing for pack stamina or wonderpick stamina to recharge that slowly but jesus did they have to do it for event battle stamina as well
What's the most annoying deck to play against?
>>56885379Misty by far, because you can lose before you get a turn
>>56885379wiggly hypno
>>56885379Sabrina. There's no other word to describe it other than, "annoying."
Well, I've done it. I've squeezed all the hourglasses I can out of the shop and solo mode.
>>56884917arbok is all 3 packs Rapidash is in all 3 packs
>>56885393yea now there's literally nothing to do for 20 days
>>56885243120HP/80 damage for 3 is the 60HP/20 damage for 1 of stage 1 Pokemon. It's the bare minimum and can get a KO but there are better options. It should have been splashable since grass doesn't have one and his prevo should have been better.
Top right? Always right
>>56885262Pika isn’t that great without zapdos ex. You need more cards in your collection. Zebstrika is very good alongside pika.
>>56885347I got a lot of Jolteons and Pikachu EX's so I did basically just throw them into a Pikachu deck even if it isn't optimal.
>pull from packs that have bent corners/tops>pull a mewtwo ex and full art bulba and golbat in 3 packsI'm starting to think it's not a meme.
>>56885393>>56885409you can still stockpile your trans pride tickets for next month's restock, but yeah you'll just be in the same place after you get your 6 pulls or whatever that the shop restocks.
i only have 1x the mewtwo ex pieces, so>1 Ralts Family line>1 Mewtwo EXbut i have trainer and item cards. would you fill out the other 4 slots or not bother until you doubled the Ralts Family, minimum?
I won't be able to get 45+ wins, it's a royal pain.Shame we can't communicate with the other players.Whoever gets a head at the start coinflip forfeits the game.Fast runs, live by the coin, die by the coin.
>play my first coin flip deck>retarded egg ex rolls nothing but tails
>>56885419there are no more trans tickets to collect other than from thanks which is like 5 per week.
Why does the game resolve to keep him from me
>>56885427He was nervous
>>56885419Well, I guess I'll start saving for when that new mini-pack is supposed to drop next month.
>>56885204>theoretically correct buildHelp me figure out the best way to build a >Nidoking/weezing/arbok deck.I know it's 2x weezing but idk if it's better to go 1x arbok or 1x nido
>>56885368Honestly yeah I think there’s a couple decks that would benefit keeping it around for banter, sadly I don’t have one yet
>have two Charizard EXs (Crown and Immersive)>don't have a second Charmeleon yet>only have one Moltres EXGuess I'll keep opening Charizard packs for now, was gonna switch to Pikachu soon but I'm close to a functional Fire deck so fuck it
>>56885262add 2 zapdos ex
>>56884825>it happened againI am Yugi Moto incarnate.
I'm surprised nobody tried to shitpost by saying paid coins give better results.
For those of you who play equivalent games like Hearthstone/Shadowverse, do they tend to give a bunch of extra packs on an expansion release, or do you HAVE to save pack currency if you want to get a bunch of packs on the release?
>>56885437What are the details on this? Is it like another booster pack but smaller?
>>56885282>has anyone tried playing moltres with arcanine ex instead of charizard?yes but I only have 1 arcanine ex and 1 moltres. It feels like I auto win if I get moltres first turn onto Arcanine.
>>56885462those other games actually let you farm resources whereas in this game you need like 40 wins for a level up pack at level 15. they have to give you new ways to acquire shit with the new pack releases, else this shit will die immediately.
>>56885462You'll get a decent amount of currency via events and stuff, but I've never seen a tcg give out free pulls for a new release except for maybe one ten pull. I'm planning on saving everything after the end of November, maybe even before that considering how slow the drip feed is.
Been testing Venusaur EX decks for the past week and it feels like as a second mon:Egg>Weezing>Butterfree>=Caterpie>=Lilligant>Beedrill=Kangaskhan>>>Meowth>Pinsir=Scyther>SnorlaxI gonna start trying more non Grass mons because you don't really need Erika to hit something that isn't Venusaur and Venusaur only needs 2 Grass energy. I also just don't have Victreebel or Vileplume.
>>56885442Actually wow I just clocked that Weezing/Aerodactyl is probably maximum filth if anyone wants to try it, same list but 1 Amber/1Aero replaces your Muk/Hypno line. Most decks aggro Weezing and Arbok itself is usually a killshot so having a potential second one that doesn’t clog up the basics is probably legit.
>>56885423I'm here to battle. Not to win. >t. over 50 wins
I have 16 cards, got a crown mewtwo on second pack and 3 diamond on my third packThis game is easy
>>56885467How does one apply flairs? Or do they apply automatically.
I want more solo missions to grind I'm so bored of versus matches...
>>56885487
>>56885320>Every deck is reliant on drawing the right cards, dummy. I'm so tired of seeing this argument.Yeah, >1 Pikex in two turns >Petillil on active, then evolving to Lilligant and having Bulbasaur, then evolving to Ivysaur, then evolving to Venusaur and switchingYeah: 1 card = 5 exact cards in correct order. If you would have told me you were retarded it would have saved me a lot of time.>He doesn't know 3 cards for 3 points is better than 2 cards for 3 points.Good luck bro, let me know when you want personal lessons.
what is the cincinno decjk
mewtwo vs. mewtwo is the match up that once and for all proved to me how fucking stupid this game is. it is LITERALLY always decided by who goes second. if you to second, you win. there's nothing the other person can do.
>opponent concedesAlways feels good.
>90hp mewtwo ex with 3 energy on field>full health gengar ex with no energy on bench>full bench and pika ex with 1 energy on my field>opponent knocks out zebstrika and leaves mewtwo in active>loses mewtwo>scoopsSome people have really bad game sense, and you just know they blame it on “broken / meta” cards. Why not keep the mewtwo nuke on deck and look for another point elsewhere?
>tfw made zero progress towards any deck in the last week or so other than event Lapras for water decks and event MankeyIt sucks, bros...
So are Sabrina and Oak going to be mainstays forever? Like how do you even replace them or power creep them?
>>56885522Untrue, but it is pretty unfair. If you go first against a good deck + pilot and brick, it’s fucking over.
I can't believe the game runs on my 2016 android. Props to them though, most recent games aren't even stable enough to run on an older OS.
>>56885462>Hearthstone/Shadowverseshadowverse gives a lot of free stuff daily. I didn't even play the game much but for a while would log in daily to collect free stuff. I played hearthstone for some years, haven't played in at least 3 or 4 years though. people would call me a Blizzard employee when I explained that you get plenty of free stuff in that game as well. at least enough to build 1 to 2 meta decks per expansion if you did all of your daily quests, and made good use of disenchanting duplicates and especially gold duplicates and keeping the regular version.
>>56885549New phone games are usually running on 64-bit architectures.
>>56885472if nentendough is involved you can bet your sweet bippy you'll get a fat "fuck you" as the new set drops and whales cough up thousands per head and everyone else just sits and durdles for their one pack a day
>>56885522Nah the other guy can get bricked and M2 isn’t as Sab resistant as Zapdos so you can play them like energy removals to catch up. At worst you can just make it a Gardevoir race unless it’s like 4 mons vs solo Ralts and a hand of X Speeds turn 1
>>56885494It's weird and works in a confusing and counter intuitive way from what I can tell.Basically when you unlock flairs, it only works for ONE SPECIFIC INDIVIDUAL card. So if you put a flair on a growlith card it will only be on one growlith. if you want to flair another growlith you have to use a new flair. If that makes sense.And yes you need to equip each deck with flairs for each card.I THINK. that's the best of my understanding of how it works.
>>56885472>they have to give you new ways to acquire shitThis or make the trading easy af without the need to use some kind of trade currency.
>>56885505>Venusaur is bad because you have to evolve two different pokemon>Charizard and Mewtwo are okay, though, despite also needing evolutions to come onlineYeah, they both require 4 cards to combo compared to Venusaur's 5, but they're still reliant on evolutions. And you're acting like you can't evolve Lilligant and Venusaur on the same turn. With such a small deck size and 4 cards of drawing/tutoring, it's pretty damn consistent. >a COIN reliant stage 1 is better than a stage 1 that accelerates your win conYeah, alright, pal.
>>56885563>if nentendough is involved*if pokemon company is involved
>>56885544They're almost certainly be staples for a long while. Power-creeping them would break the game, so, at best, they might get rotated out in a year or so. I'd bet on them getting reprinted, though.
>>56885544>How to powercreep Sabrina Sabrina but you get to pick what switches in.You can't powercreep Oak by just making cards that draw more though since you'll just run both.
>>56885544Legit wild they gave two Oaks for free.
>>56885609Oak EX, allows you to search for 1 card of your choosing and add it to your hand, is mutually exclusive with oak
>>56885624no it isnt
>>56885628are you retarded? I'm proposing an idea of how to power creep oak.
>>56885633you would still play both of those cards if that came out
>>56885637I told you >mutually exclusive<
>>56885640like it has card text that specifically says "you can't run oak" on it? that's a laughably clunky solution
can't wait for the new region professor's research reprints, i need a FA juniper art research fucking STAT
You can really tell when somone has never touched the Pokemon TCG before.
>>56885644no you fucking mouth breather. it means you can only have 2 total. if you use two oak ex you can't use 2 oaks. if you run 1 oak and 1 oak ex you can't add more
>>56885419The only way to get tranny tickets after the new player quests is thanks, right? Assuming that i get the full 5 per day I have just enough time to get the rest of the monthly hourglasses from the shop
>>56885649oh i just realized im arguing with someone thats never played the tcg before, how embarassing for me... i guess the "EX trainer card" stuff should have been obvious but here we are...EX is a different card name. you can run 2 charizard and 2 charizard ex if you want
I genuinely think there's a problem with the fossil cards and the shuffler. They are ALWAYS at the bottom of the deck.
>>56885658You will play the Pikaslop and you will be happy.
>>56885657>fossils at the bottom of the deck...you rang?
Hey, Florida bro, how hard did I nail you with this? >>56884880 I'm just curious. I promise I'll be nice now. I just wanna know how good my sherlock skills are getting.
>>56885662>>56885658fucked it up
>>56885657bro you're so fucking retarded holy shit.
>>56885658Priced in to the card quality imo
>>56885668Just dropping in to say I agree with the other anon and think you're retarded.
>>56885668>gets showed how hes wrong>brain rejects this and starts lashing outits ok anon nobody is born with 10 years of tcg experience like me
>>56885657>never played the tcg beforenta, but have you? You do realise that cards rotate out of print, right? If you've played any tcg for more than a few months, you should know this. >research rotates out>print research ex (or whatever the fuck)>can't use them simultaneouslyIt's pretty simple, man.
>>56885684your experience doesn't matter, you're merely arguing semantics, it doesn't change the core concept communicated you fucking retard bitch. the entire oak ex was merely a play on the other ex cards being power crept versions of normal versions. fucking retard.
>still 0 laprasI fucking hate my shitty luck in any game, Im tired of being filtered by strings of rng
>>56885505>Petillil on active, then evolving to Lilligant and having Bulbasaur, then evolving to Ivysaur, then evolving to Venusaur and switchingThis is inefficient as fuck. You can let two non-ex pokemon die before you have to have Venu out there. Play a higher pokemon count.Usually when you're eating shit in a game it's because you've developed some retarded preconceptions about how you're "supposed" to play or how things "have" to go. But usually you're just too lazy to really give something else a try. Green is full of pokemon that make Pika eat shut.
>>56885689same anon here. I also forgot one thing that ptcg has over other mainstream tcgs: one trainer per turn. Even if you run both sets of Oaks, you'd probably be fucking yourself.>2 Misty/Blaine/Surge/etc.>4 Oaks>2 Giovannis>2 SabrinasGood luck playing more than half of that.
>>56885700You can also become a Weezing chad.
>>56885689yes, i have played the tcg before. the actual game also has a (stronger) version of professor's research that is intentionally called that so that it can be an evergreen card where they reprint it with different professors. they almost certainly did the same with pocket, and named it that way for the exact same reason.
>>56885714>>56885714>>56885714new bread, migrate when the time is right

>>56885139fun finisher
>>56885700>you've developed some retarded preconceptions about how you're "supposed" to play or how things "have" to goRegardless of the Petilil debate, this is the biggest hurdle to learning how to actually build a deck. If every player learned this lesson, we'd all be Plat. This is, I feel, legitimately the only time that taking a statistics class in college/high school can help you post schooling.
>>56884638I was pure mewtwo pack but sabrina is only in Char.
