>>56885711It's such a shame Weezing is so slow. I managed to win a few games against Mewtwo, Misty and even Marowak but it's so hard to keep up with the Pikachu EX tempo.
i feel like he has untapped potential
how the fuck has my moltres ex just been giving me x3 tails constantly in most games but I never seen it once do x3 heads holy FUCK>muh probability and statistics, muh each result is independent of another, muh you need a larger sample sizeFUCK YOU, this game is RIGGED against me and me specifically
I feel empty after getting the 50 win award
>>56885714too bad you used this as the OP because I made a version 2 that I wanted to wait to post till the new thread.
>>56885739(also, after the ex Pokémon this one is roughly ordered by usefulness of the card)
>>56885732i made a weaker deck to try with a friend who's new to the game where all my pokemon need to win coin flips to do damage. I got 12 tails in a row and never did any damage on my first game with that deck. you can't convince me i just randomly hit the 1/4096 game.
>>56885732Simply not worth 2 points, I don't like Moltres ex at all.
>>56885723Yeah, you have to draw perfectly to even have a chance.
>>56885739Is there a site where I can track what cards I'm missing from each apex pack?Something like this from the gbf wikihttps://gbf.wiki/Collection_Tracker
>>56885739Honestly, you *could* remove butterfree and Greninja from the list because they have free promo versions. I’m definitely done with pika packs. I hate that I had to go as deep as I did with the ftp currency, but I have 2x for everything of value (with the exception of only having 1x hypno).
>>56885753I open three packs, second pack had a mewtwo ex crown, third pack had a 3 diamond mewtwo ex illustrationThis game is too easy
>>56885713There are literally dozens of different card draw cards in the og tcg. It's pretty obvious that Dena consulted heavily with the tcg creators to balance the game and they've got dozens of every type of card to pull from. There will be plenty of ways to displace research.
>>56885754the promo will be over in a couple days though
do you think more mechanics will be added into the game or will it all just be coinflips
>>56885769The real tcg isn't quite as coin reliant, but it's still common. What kind of new mechanics are you thinking?
how do you get promo greninja? haven't seen one
>>56885779one where you have to uhhhhave to uhhhuhhhh.....
>>56885739bro this is shitplease learn the game before you make infographics and tierlists because you are just preading half digested informationnot gonna go too in to deep but in the pikachu pack you are missing things like Raichu and baby Zapdos both good performers in tournamentsyet you add Butterfree, Dugtrio and Hypno that all performed worse than;Arcanine EX, Blastoise EX, Omastar, Magneton, Jolteon and Nidoking in tournaments yet you do not include thoseanf for example where are Victreebel, Baby Charizard, Alakazam and likely many others that are better performers than things like Primeape and Melmetal?and where are dragonite and pidgeot? ffsyou include shit that never performed in tournaments and you skip things that did and do perform well in them
>>56885739some interesting decisions, a lot of cards that are equally good or better than ones that made your cut arent on your list, especially from pika which your list implies to new players is a bad pack.pika:>arcanine ex>blastoise ex>magnetonand pika maybes:>gyarados>omastarmewtwo:>gengar excharizard:>VICTREEBEL>machamp ex>>56885754i wouldn't because the events will end eventually, and the list could be helpful to post for several months as new players ask "what pack do i pull???"
>>56885792bro is too blind to see dragonite
>>56885794>magnetonbro that card is absolutely horrible, arguably one of the worst in the game
>>56885800and that makes the whole point invalid?that tier list is just shit>>56885803made top cut in a 1100 player tournament, butterfree will never see a top cut even if you host 1 million tournamentssame with dugtrio, and hypno
>game begins>hit mewtwo ex with my koffing>he concedes immediatelyweezingbros
>>56885806>hypnoWho's gonna tell him?
was this someone from here kek
>>56885806this isn't a tournament list, this is a list of cards that can be useful. have you seen an arbok weezing deck perform super well in a tournament? no. is it generally agreed upon in these threads to be pretty decent? yes.
>>56885792>>56885806and surge? hello????>>56885739please play more, and use data from tournaments to make these things, not your feels and limited game knowledgebecause it ends up in the OP and we all look like idiots
>>56885803Nah it’s not bad, it can set up Raichu quickly with Surge, newfriends and sperts alike can use it
How long until this card variant gets added?
>>56885739>Dugtrio>Muk>Aerodactyl>Tentracruel>Melmetal>CentiskorchNone of these Pokemon are good.
>>56885820labels literally say "GOOD CADS IN X"not useful cardseven with useful cards, you are missingand if its good cards you are missing cards that are good and performing in tournaments yet you have cards that are bad and also not performing in yournaments (butterfree)
>set game for auto while I'm watching a YouTube video>water deck with Starmie EX and normal Lapras>double Lapras in bench and Staru in active>Oak into double Misty>next turn Misty flips tails first>next turn Misty flips tails firstWater decks are fucking terrible.
>>56885824soul
>>56885820and yes, weezing decks performed well in torunaments, both weezing arbok and weezing wiggly lists
>>56885758ok let me just recap things:1:>will sabrina and oak ever get replaced?sabrina yes but oak would get played with the new card2:>well what if it rotates out?it almost certainly won't because (post explaining why)>loop back to 1 until i get bored of pointing out why you anons are retarded and never played the paper tcg
>>56885827there's a reason they're all on the very right, centiscorch is very good until you have 2 charizard exes or especially if you don't have one. I don't really understand why you are expecting me to to by tournament play when a new player is gonna have to open a lot of packs to get something like 2 pika ex 2 zapdos ex
>You can actually attack when going first if you highroll MistyOk this card has to be reworked or nerfed, no way this was intended, what the fuck.
>>56885824>>56885839god heckin damn it, that's cute
>>56885840bro thinks placing 86 with weezing arbok means it's performing well
>>56885791Don't tell me you're thinking of dice rolling...
>>56885824They'll add a shillmon line as a 2/3-part immersive and when you evolve the line, the animation will shift to a different scene in the immersive art. Screencap this.
>>56885827aerodactyl can be good and you're a brainlet if you can't figure out why
>>56885726How good is the bug only deck?
>>56885758>It's pretty obvious that Dena consulted heavily with the tcg creators to balance the gameDeNa just codes the game, its all their involvement isCreatures INC designs the cards, arts and game rules, all gameplay is made by themTPC decides the monetization scheme and does publicitygame is not made by dena, its coded by dena, its a 3 company joint operation between DeNa (coding / UI), Creatures INC (game and card design) and TPC (monetization and publicity)
>>56885824>310 hpholy molywhat happened
Tier bro, don't listen to this monkey >>56885792. Your list isn't perfect by any means, but it's a good general idea of what you'll be pulling for in each pack.
>>56885860weezing wiggly literally made top cut in a 500+ player torunament a couple of days ago...
>>56885872>, but it's a good general idea of what you'll be pulling for in each pack.serebii also has that, a complete list to bootand its not biased and wrongif you are goign to make a shit list like that you might as wqell include everything
>>56885824>>56885839>men literally want one thing
>>56885876Hypno literally did as well. The retard doesn't know what he's talking about.
whats the most consistent weezing arbok deck
>>56885769>>56885779there are still lots of paper tcg that could absolutely make it into the game:>CONFUSION, whole status effect that doesn't exist in pocket??? (correct me if im wrong)>getting cards back from discard pile (surprised such a basic effect isnt in already, could be an attack or trainer card)>epicly strong attack that can't be used next turn>attack that lets you switch out after dealing damage>special poison attack that does 20 (or more) in between turnsto name just a few, and thats only getting into shit that could go on an attack
>>56885881pika and cuno dominance makes me sick
>>56885881I'm not the one who said not to include hypno. you tournament fags are retarded anyway, it's like when Monster Hunter players rank weapons based on speed run results
>>56885872that's the same retard that was WRONG about Marowak Pidgeot.
When will we get a negate supporter card i hate sabrina
>>56885881>mongoloid language>not even 1 mewtwoyeah, that is shitlimiting the userbase to only a small region / coutnry instead of making it free access just makes it low skill as shown by a fucking lapras making the top 8 and not even one mewtwo
I hope they add a more elaborate "VS CPU" mode in the future where it comes armed with shitloads of random decks set to what difficulty you put.
>>56885900gengar and gengar ex
>>56885900psyduck
>>56885902Keep moving goalpost and one day you'll score for sure.
>>56885889tournament results are the only concrete data we have to rank cardsIf you want to rank them on how much you like the art go for it, but that just make you a fagpic is top 50 of 1100
>>56885900Bro your fossil?
>>56885844>Oak won't get replacedMaybe, but my point is that there will be other options like the Judge card I posted. >never played the paper tcgShut up. I did too. >>56885869>I say that Dena left the card balancing to an experienced company>anon says, "no, Dena didn't do the balancing and left it to an experienced company"okay
I hope someone remembers this girl and makes a new fard for her.
never played real pokemon tcg what were the cancer meta cards
>>56885913>Ninetails/Rapidash huh, what's the decklist for that? Ninetails is one of my favorite pokemon but haven't had it drop yet.
>Want to reroll for full art Sabrina>But dont care about the other cards in charizard packfug, why cant she be in mewtwo
>>56885915consulting means you are doing it and taking advicebut dena is not even doing a tiny bit of it, its just creatures inc doing it
>>56885886>getting cards back from discard pileThey're waiting for the new Gengar card to introduce this mechanic.>epicly strong attack that can't be used next turnI mean, that's basically both Charizard and Mewtwo without their batteries attached to their asses.
Why loads of fire mons have the gimmick of discarding energy to attack? This gimmick has always been with fire mons since pokemon TCG started.
This is the best card.
>>56885925blaine deck.which is considered in the list of useful cards, yet people are like "umm those cards suck bro"
>>56885945Best icon as well.
>>56885945>No waifucard.It's shit.
>>56885946no one said blaine cards sucked...
Blaine cards suck.
>>56885879>and its not biased and wrong>a tier list made by weebs hiding behind the big name of serebii is 100% more credible than a tier list made by weebs anonymously without the incentive of making money off adsCome back when you graduate high school.
>>56885870IIRC there were two big spikes of HP inflation about 5 and 10 years ago. Gigantamax pokemon were the recent one, they instantly added like +70 hp to the average overnight (Vmax pokemon give 3 prizes when theyre knocked out)
>>56885953last thread
WHERE THE FUCK IS CHARMELEON WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT AHHHHHHH
>>56885923Back in the very beginning, the entire meta revolved around base mon spam. Hitmonchan and Electabuzz were the 2 main niggers, with stuff like Wigglytuff setting in the bench to clean up games.Then they printed THIS fucking shit.
>>56885902japanese players play global tournaments too and have performed well, but nice cope
>>56885957i didnt say tier listi mean the whole pack list of exclusive cards in serebiiwhich is more useful than that, since that list anon posted lacks good cards and has shit cards as "good cards"so you might as well ahve the full list of pack exclusive cards
>>56885963Dont forget scyther
Hypno and Wigglytuff slander will not be tolerated.
>>56885964yesbut a contained tournament like that is a shit metricfree access global tournaments with money on the line is where you will see the highest skill and most tryhard decklists
>>56885923I hope you have a playset of Shaymins for every deck.
>>56885886or some of the less basic ones that are missing:>shared attack (think round) that gets stronger the more pokemon in play have it (including opponent potentially). usually requires colorless only but not always.>gets stronger the more xyz you have in your discard pile>attack that gets stronger/weaker based on how many points you or your opponent have taken>discard any number of xyz from your hand, more cards discarded = more damage>move energy from this pokemon to your benched pokemon in order to attack>damage based on your opponent's retreat cost>shuffle this whole pokemon back into your deck after attacking
>>56885963What the fuck
>>56885945Agreed.
>>56885963ntr card...
What level of cope are we on now bros?
>>56885975What the FUCK
>>56885975the awesome combo of shaymin + battle compressor + professor + vs seeker for 10 minute turns those were the good daysthe mega rayquaza vs night march games that lasted 35 mins for a 4 turn game
>>56885962See: >>56883554
>>56885983>damage based on your opponent's retreat costCan we not? These moves are always shit against the meta because they never give powerful pokemon a high retreat cost.
>>56885993????????????
>>56885975I remember hearing this card was like $100 a piece at one point lol
>>56885985Yeah and it was officially banned.
>>56885966>a list of cards to look for is bad because I personally think those cards are shit/don't like themTier bro specifically said every time he posted that it was just his shit take on the cards. Having a list of the top 10 cards of each pack is incredibly useful for new players to be able to choose what they want to hunt or even just for new deck ideas. The whole point of the list is so that they don't have to troll through the entire 226 card list to see what might be worth looking at.
>>56885923paper tcg had double colorless energy so you could get another accelgor out each turn meaning you are perma paralyzed. you would play it with a pokemon whose ability negated other abilities or items while it was active so you can't use them to escape. you get locked to where you can't retreat, can't attack, can't play items (or abilities) and are just waiting to lose 40 damage at a time or hope they cant set up another in time so the stun breaks. wasn't actually the top deck at the time but it made me want to kms
Get fucked, Mewtwo niggers.
>>56885949Truly the best card.>>56885986This is why I haven't gotten a single one, isn't it?
>>56886016Paypiggies don’t get to post on my turf, faggot.
>>56885848I don't give a shit about tournaments, Centiscorch is worse than Arcanine and Flareon and they are terrible. It's also worse than Gyarados, Kingler, and countless other cards. Putting a Pokemon on the list as a placeholder for other cards when that's not a criteria for other cards in the list makes little to no sense.>>56885864Keep playing Areodactyl, I have never lost to it and will not complain about the free win.
>>56885996What the fuck?! I have 2 Charizard EX one of them is even a golden fucking background, 1 Moltres EX and I have burned every single resource into the charizard pack but not even 1 charmeleon and doesn't even show up in wonder pick. It is forcing my hand to buy it from points to drop in the next pack?! WHAT THE FUCK
>>56885997well we could get a minus damage card, which also doesn't exist yet in pocket. something like(cheap energy cost) 120-does like 20 less damage or some shit for each energy in their retreat cost
>>56886016>Gardevoir sleeves and playmapWhat the fucking fuck?! HOW YOU GET THAT?!
>>56886040$20
>>56885994kek we'll be there in about a year of power creep. Just wait. >>56885995I remember my deck rotating out of standard and trying it in the unlimited format only to get completely dicked by 15 year old cards that I had never heard of. It almost ruined the tcg for me. I think Pokemon's unlimited format is the most unhinged format of any big tcg. >>56886003I only ever played the online game, but it was going for like 10-15$ worth of packs the last I played. >buy 30 packs for 15$ off ebay>sell the first shaymin you got, rinse repeat>keep the second shaymin until you had a playset>profitGood times.
>>56886043Goddammit, I guess there is not a way for a F2P to get.
While you guys debate balance and future meta, some exec at DeNA is planning a system where you can uncap and increase card hp and move damage :^)
>>56886053>flairs will now have special effects and give your card extra moves to pick from
will we see this absolute kino printed in the (surely) upcoming johto set?
>>56886040>Gardevoir sleeves and playmapmore like unsleeve gardevoir and plap
>>56886033>worse than Gyarados, Kinglerthat's going a little far
>>56886063it would work perfectly in a low power meta like pocket, and im sure dena would love turning 1 chase card into 2 halves of a chase card
>regular tcg lets you lose 3 EX pokemon plus a basic before losing>pocket lets you lose 2 EX pokemon at best before losingHow do you feel about this balancing choice?
>>56886079Good, makes EX more risky and battles more faster, also check your math: knocked out EX gives the opponent two prize cards, there are six prize cards, 3 knocked EX equal victory.
>>56886079You imnediately win once you get all prize cards, 3 EX and you win.
>>56885942Why do fire mons have to discard energy? I dunno but its a pretty cool flavor
>>56886079High risk, high reward. I'm fine with it honestly. Reminds me of a chess variant I played where losing both knights (all the reliable protectors), losing the queen (ransom to the king), or being put into check (not just checkmate, but regular check) were the win conditions. I was shit at that, and I'm shit at this too. Plus, this format is fast as long as it doesn't boil down to Kabutops vs Kabutops with no other cards to play or draw.
>>56886088>>56886090NTA but before you correct someone just think it over. It will save you a lot of embarrassment in your life.
>>56886088>>56886090Are you guys okay?
Misty... im so thirsty... i need you to give me nourishment...
>>56886079The rules in this game infinitely favor ex pokemon. 3 non-ex vs 2 ex is a no-brainer, 2ex is getting a huge benefit. It should be 4 points. Odd numbers favor ex and make them "free points", even numbers favor non-ex.
>>56886110>misty pulls offers you thiswhat is your response?
>>56885714>18*10=180>plus whatever the singles amounted to, I don't remember and I already bought them all lol>5*30=150>max 5 thanks per day, 30 days in a monthSo are we just never gonna be able to buy out the monthly hourglasses ever again? What ways to get tranny tickets will we be getting in the future?
>>56886110Sorry, the best I can do is a tails on flip one.
>>56886120i think the idea is that the in game economy will be event focused, which is admittedly more fun than a daily grind but is also intentionally harder to predict/easier for dena to adjust without warning
>>56886098>>56886101What? When you knock out an EX mon you take two prizes cards, there are six prize cards, assuming you only knock out ex mons and nothing else knocking three gives you all the six prize cards.
>>56886016>The opponent has surrenderedMewtwo faggot bitched out and couldn't stand to see his bitches die.
For the Lapras EX event, does the expert level actually increase the chance of a pack afterwards?
>>56886119No misty... i need your tears...
what is the threads official private match code going to be?
>>56886135it's 100% I believegotten a pack every time I cleared it
>>56886131The order, anon.
>>56886135Expert level is a guaranteed card
>>56886142We don't play the game here we just look at tournament results.
>>56885994>>56885985>people who have never played the og tcg freaking out over the broken cards>>56885963>>56885969>>56885975>>56885995>>56886003>people with experience reminiscing over how broken the game could bekek
>>56886154what tournaments lol???
>>56886013I will NEVER play on live. I still cannot believe those faggots shuddered PTCGO, I'd been playing on it since I was 11.
>>56886068I can debate Gyarados being better than Centiscorch but Kingler is not debateable, it's in a completely different tier. Without ramp Kingler is dealing 160 guaranteed damage by the time Centiscorch can deal 130 with no downside and a chance to deal 160 more.
>>56885942Every type has a vague gimmick for flavour. Cards don't have to be designed specifically within it, but having a general theme of it adds flavour and diversity to the way types feel. If every energy engine in the game played the same, Fire is about burning energy, so a lot of fire types discard fire energy. The high cost of their attacks due to this lets you balance for a more consistent/immediate/powerful energy engine than other types (eg Moltres EX can set up turn 1 and immediately generate energy, vs Gardevoir which requires a minimum of turn 3)Electric is about speed. A lot of things in it don't deal huge damage but in return can be set up very quickly. Pikachu EX can be throwing out 90 damage as a basic on turn 2. That's why it's energy engine is fairly limited (requires both Magneton and Surge and then Surge himself is limited in application). But they don't really need an engine anyway.Dark is generally about disruptive play. Poison, retreat blocking etc.Fighting is about simple high damage for high cost.etc. etc.
>>56886095>Kabutops vs Kabutopswhy the fuck did you have to trigger me? I was having such a good night before you brought up these memories.
>>56886125As long as the events in total give enough to buy out all the monthly hourglasses with some amount leftover I guess I'd be cool with that. idk how we had enough this month plus buying the one-time hourglasses. My goldfish brain literally doesn't remember event rewards from last week. I assume there were shop tickets to be gained?
I want trainer pokemon. Itll remind me of my youth.
>>56886156oh yay i cant wait to buy the card that was only distributed during worlds tournaments if you placed high enough and was for some reason made competetively legal anyway, oh and its the best stadium card at the time. hope you have $400 middle school me
>>56886177I love how the 3 energy version of Water Gun here is functionally pointless.
>>56886181TCG's were new at the time so they didn't understand how to word things properly. Nowadays it would probably say:>If this has any additional water energy attached to it, this attack does 10 more damageThis way you avoid the "whoa, this is worthless" moment while also encouraging players to build up to the 3-energy attack. Simple game design principles like this just weren't known back in the 90's
>>56886181They could buff this by making it add +10 attack for the more energy you have (no cap) cause i want to roll heads and get 9 energy on this starmie and win.
I am happy to finally being able to play a mobile pokemon game just when it started, by the time I had a phone that could play Go and Masters I already missed shitloads of events and feel discouraged to start so late.
>>56886079if you can pull of a briar play then you only need to KO 2 ex pokemon
>>56886192>(no cap)no cap? frfr... HE be bussin
alright fuck OP cards, pocket needs to add the fuckin weird but still totally tournament legal cards to the game. nothing beats forcing your super serious meta-playing opponent to try and figure out what the fuck wigglytuff's 'length' would even mean, never mind what actual value he should guess at a city championship event.
>>56885942It's an allegory for global warming.
>>56886203I'm mad because I wanted to make this joke.
I love this sky fire puppy so fucking much
I have never once completely evolved a Stage 2 Pokemon. The shuffler is absolutely FUCKED in this game.
>>56886178the funniest part was that it was as expensive on PTCGO as it was in real life, sometimes even more depending on supply.
>56886203>56886222Don't you have homework you should be doing?
>>56886226kek what a bitch
>>56886226>lil bro cant even reach his final form
Reminder that they are planning to add a 30 cards deck format in the future because the deck builder has space for 30 cards.
>>56886239would be based, make it 4 points/30 cards
>>56886181mmm excuse me actually there was an extremely powerful pokemon in the game at the time that got stronger if you paralyzed it mm okay?
SEND ME YOUR ENERGY
I should I spark two misty for my water deck or just keep opening pikachu packs until i get it?
>>56886250Top right easy
>>56886250REPEAT AFTER ME:>TOP RIGHT ALWAYS RIGHT!!@!!!!!
>>56886250Bottom left.
>>56886250tip: pick blaine
>play 6 games>forced to go first in all of them>lose 3/6 (partially) because of thisAlways a good feeling when you’ve got 9 cards in your deck compared to your opponent’s 5, and you went first.
>>56886250Middle
>>56885824you think they...
>get a pack with a full art Gengar EX>Some hours later I get three "thanks!" Gifts and three friend request.Neat.
>>56886250Top Right never fails except some times.
Wiggers
how many cards in this have unique art and how many are reused from the tcg?
>>56886196>Go on launch This was a good time to be a hardcore pokemon fan because it was mainstream for a good 6-9 months. >MastersYou didn't miss much. Even if you wailed for a character, they were power crept in less than a year. I remember dropping almost 200$ in October for a character and getting crept by new years. Don't judge me too hard. It was the first time I started making decent money. I don't whale anymore. I will say that Masters had huge waifu-fagging because you were pulling for characters and not just pokemon. I whaled hard for Blue/Blastoise and I still don't regret it.
Might just buy a raichu at this point
>>56886272can a wigga get a YOOM-TAH??
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>56886278>wonder picking uncommons
>>56885714Rapidash and Arbok are NOT PACK SPECIFIC. they are in ALL PACKS
>>56886277Anon, I don't fucking care about "power crept", I only want to own my favorite pokegirls although the inability to kick out characters mean I would be stuck forever with the ones I hate if I happened to get them while looking for my pokegirls.
>>56886276All ex cards are unique. Some even drawn by their original artists. Cant wait to see more.

>>56886333sure, none of those things are really untrue but they're still playable cards for a beginner looking to open their first packs.
OVER 20 FUCKING PACKS NOT A SINGLE GODDAMN LAPRAS IF I FUCKING SEE ONE MORE PIKACHU OR BUTTERFREE IM GOING TO FUCKING RIOT
>>56886342wait you're still playing the solo event? got playsets of everything day one lol
>>56886285you just GOTTA BELIEVE
>>56886342First pack got a Lappy, since then I've gotten 6 Mankey. It's killing me.
>>56886347>missed aerodactyldamn im sorry bro
>>56886350i already have that
>>56886033>Centiscorch is worse than Arcanine and Flareon and they are terriblebattle me
Not looking forward to the train of expansions releasing soon. Guess I just have to be comfortable with not finishing sets.
>>56886347And pick something with 2+ rare pics
>>56886366id be surprised (but happy honestly) if they release more than like 3 a year
my life is so empty now that i have all the emblems......
>>56886325I'll consider it retconned as long as it doesn't come back in the first game of a gen, or its 3rd version/immediate sequel/DLC
>>56886368Don't take me wrong I don't want the game meta to stay the same for too long, but at the same time they're definitely gonna tighten the screws to make people pay more if it goes too fast. I don't know what the solution here is.
>>56886291>I only want to own my favorite pokegirls100% you would have enjoyed PokeMas. That's all the game was. You made me download the game for the first time in 3 years.
>>56886382im gonna be real the solution for me is spending $20-30 bucks whenever they release an expansion. the game is pretty cheap.
>>568862883 diamond cards are the hardest to get in the game, you should wonder pick them if you see one you might want in the future, especially if it's a 2/5.
>>56886383I wish masters was fun to play
>>56886392personally 2/5 is the bare minimum for me to wonder pick a 3 diamond card, i would just hate to see a full art support appear knowing i wasted my energy on like a victreebel or something
>>56886363password: centisbad
Why the fuck are these so expensive man
>>56886391Fair enough. I was sort of thinking the same.
>>56886094Because they burn resources. It is for flavor.
>>56886409you know why
>>56886409the function is made as a failsafe for spenders
>>56886409Because they're a higher rarity. You want the rare version of the card? You save up or quit being a lucklet. Your only options.
>>56886409Man those are badass
?
>>56886416>that'll be 1250 pack points please
>>56886409>Why are the full art pokegirls expensiveGee anon
ALWAYS pick center, and if it’s not center, then it was top left.
>>56886416>>56886425>>56886427I know damn well you guys don't want to fuck Blaine
>>56886310>>56886339won around 500 battleswith roughly 80 of those being in tournamentsmostly play pikachu, mewtwo and charizard
>>56886167>Without ramp Kingler is dealing 160 guaranteed damage
>>56886430Blaine and Koga exist to piss you off when you get them and not the girls
i would let her clear my pack point account
I hope they put misprints into the game. Like the red cheek version of the original Pikachu.
>>56886430if they made the girls more expensive than the dudes that would make it too obviously disgusting on their part
>>56886422Honestly I don't really like them. I think Erika looks fantastic but the others aren't doing it for me.
>>56886120it is actually 210 tickets because there's the single ticket stack that totals 10. From the shop alone you 70 hourglasses monthly. I'd not buy wonder pick items because they total just as many shop tickets.
>>56886447you mean you dont like the>niggas call me the drink
>>56886436>by the time Centiscorch can deal 130Did your ADHD not allow you to finish the sentence? You only get one energy per turn.
post your favorite card art that you own
>>56886298>says he healed for 140hp in a turnWhy do zoomers feel the need to lie? Just play 3 more matches until you actually heal for that much. It's literally your fucking job to do that rather than half assing it for a thumbnail.
Second turn bonked his zapdos ex he red carded for me to get a perfect hand god bless.
>>56886430that's what you think
>>56886455I want this card so bad that I'm genuinely tempted to chase it instead of getting Pika packs cause I've not touched Pika packs yet at all. I already have Charizard EX in both Crown and Immersive rarities, so I'm not desperate for more Charizard packs otherwise, and I have a full Mewtwo deck already.I think if it's gonna be three months before the next set though I should probably focus Pika now and then chance Sabrina full art.

Had Arbok and Weezing earning my daily victories in a row. I won't burn myself on the event but I will get my 50 wins by next week. 10 total. My other decks just can't win as frequently.
Every top right fag can kill themselvesI whiffed 3 ex's going that way I am now a leftist
Is there any reason I shouldn't play 4 Lapras? Should I play one of each?
Game needs more cards, like now. It already feels stale...
>>568865111 energy for 20 is weak
>>56886455>niggas call me the drinkCan someone translate this zoomer talk?
>>56886509the result is decided before you pick a card anonit doesnt matter which card you pick, does not change a single thing
I just pick the slot of the Wonder Pick card I want, ez.
>>56886525he's the "big cheese" as we call him
>>56886460moltres will get him ramped quicker and centiskorch oko kingler
>>56886298i feel like this deck doesn't really tap into caterpie's full potential. he really seems like an unironically very strong and incorrectly used card. I think he has 2 uses:>playing butterfreeIf you use butterfree I think he's best when butterfree is the only grass type lineup in your deck, maybe even as extreme as a 2-1-1 or even 1-1-1 line of butterfree, that way you maximize the odds of searching out the butterfree evolution alternatively,>no butterfreeprobably the better choice since butterfree is mediocre (sadly, since the concept is cool). basically run JUST caterpie, no evolutions, and just use him as a search engine for your grass stage 2 like venusaur/victreebel/whatever. maybe even in that instance run the line at 2-1-1basically caterpie theoretically wants to be run with as few other grass pokemon as possible to make it more consistent, while also accomplishing the goal of freeing up deck space. sadly, nothing in particular presents itself as a benefit to this extra deck space since we don't have a lot of trainer cards to stuff our deck with. i still plan to play a few games to see who some interesting partners could be on both butterfree/solo caterpie sides.
>>56886486Don't be like that $557 anon. It's not worth it. If you do, though, add me. I want those wonder packs.
>>56886532Misty is quicker.
>Meta TalkRecommend me some "Fun" Decks instead, some real goofy nonsense, unless there aren't enough cards to do that.
>>56886501omastar stopping your opponent from attacking is what makes it good you caveman, not everything is about damage.
>>56886545The goofiest deck I've played is Fearow/Pidgeot. Basically you try to never let them attack by forcing them to switch out mons and removing energy. It's not good but it is funny.
Whats a decent wall Pokemon I should be using while building up Dragonite? Chansey isn't really doing it for me, too much retreat cost which can kinda mess with me.
>>56886525niggas call me the snowglobe
>>56886545aerodactyl "gtfo" coinflip
>>56886550You know what else stops them from attacking? being dead because ur not playing a meme card and instead something that does good damage for the cost
>>56886555weezing had the most success for me
>>56886555weezing
>>56886538That's a really good point. You should test it more and report back, I think the idea of starting on a caterpie going second and guaranteed finding something to evo off it is interesting.
>>56886545This one; it's a blast.>>56879557
>>56885746Congratulations, you found the (boosted) full odds shiny.
Is there a reason not to run 2 Sabrinas?
>>56886447>literally the most boring one of the bunchHow the fuck did they get away with that Misty card
>>56886574Only having 1, otherwise no
>>56886538I think the best way to use him is one of in a non grass deck. Butterfree is not bad if you're playing tanky mons like meltan or even muk/weezing and people seriously undervalue the card draw, drawing one extra card can be huge.
>have 850 pack points>completing all playsets would still cost ~8500 pack pointsb r u h
>>56886586What's wrong with it? The art is tame as hell.
>>56886525I think it’s a reference to Trunks from that shitty youtube poop DBZ thing that everyone won’t stop begging modders to add to Sparking Zero
>>56886196I was around when Masters started but I wasn't into a waifu game. I started with go day -1 but once I realized the only way to advance in the game is to grind your Pokemon into dust I realize it wasn't for me.I'm glad I got into Pocket on release but I hope they keep it accessible for new players no matter when they start. Otherwise the game will turn stale and it will be just a couple wales trying to outdo each other.
>>56886555Frosmoth putting them asleep can really stall for time. You can use Misty on Frosmoth to help ensure that you're able to attach energy to Dragonite every turn
>>56886564>>56886563That's 3 different energy for Dragonite, that seems a bit much.
>>56886604anon come on, let's not go that far
>>56886607you can disable dark energy in the deck edit

>>56886613Oh, that makes sense.
>>56886607You don't attack with Weezing. You use it to stall and do chip damage with poison, then use Koga when Dragonite is ready.

>opponent opens two misty >turn 1 tails >turn 2 tails >concedesGet fucked.
>>56886567missed the last thread but that guy actually has good advice for people new to the game. to add on a bit, letting your opponent decide where damage is going is really bad for you. it's why cards like sabrina and x speed are so good. starmie's 130hp is dwarfed by venusaur's huge 190hp, but how much health does each player have on the board at any given time? if each player has a full board and everything set up (which won't really happen, but still), how much of each player's pokemon's hp is being used? your opponent WANTS you to use the active spot as a choke point where you're just funneling all of your pokemon through one at a time to get ko'd.venusaur, being kind of stuck in the active is pretty much using it's 190 and then dying. starmie can take a hit and then retreat for free- so that means starmie's hp + one benched pokemon's hp is actively engaged and usable in the game. starmie's health is getting 'extended' by the benched pokemon. If that pokemon is another starmie, then you have yet another pokemon whose HP is actively available and 'extending' the amount of HP that is in play and denying your opponent a point. you absolutely should be building your decks with a retreat strategy. make the damage requirement for your opponent to get a point as high as possible!
are we really gonna be talking about pedophilia... again
I'm suffering from success
Surely the current hourglasses will be usable for the next set, right guise?
>>56886604keep it to yourself bro

I do not say this with a light heart because it's just a scam to drain women of their disposable income, but get help. Go talk to a therapist and stop browsing /twoxchromosomes to try to pass.
>>56886731I agree, easy fried chicken to eat during the match
they're going to let you sell/burn cards eventually for pack points right? I have so many ex's and rare alts for shitmons I don't even want like tf am I going to do with 5 of these I'd even sell them for like 1 pack point each idc
>>56885942The idea is that fire consumes whatever fuels it, so discarding energies is the by-product of the combustion reaction becoming useless after it happens.Like other anons said, it's for flavor and to give Fire a distinctive playstyle. Grass is usually about sustain and healing, because plants are the world's basic energy source and nutrient gathering organisms, with a side of status effects. Water is abundant and ever-flowing, so they have stuff like Misty; as a source of life itself, it also has some healing stuff. Dark is all about nasty strats (it's called the Evil type in japanese for a reason) and it thrives in disruption and statuses. Fighting is simple and straight forward, so they hit hard for relatively little setup, but are also limited by this linearity. Fire, then, is all about massive destructive power that also consumes itself.
Lol if Articuno paralyzes Pikachu EX it's GG unless they have potion in hand
>>56886723Thank you
>>56886750an articuno that gets 1 shot by pikachu and needs 1 more energy than it to attack???
>>56886734There's a guilt caused by their actions which subconsciously calls for them to be ridiculed and punished so they craft an online persona to attract negative attention to themselves in an environment where they feel they may be safe from legal or physical harm
>>56886700JP companies don't care if you drew porn if they like your style enoughcf. Yuji Himukai
>>56886760Yes because no one in the game has ever rolled two or even three heads with Misty you're very intelligent for poking a huge hole in my logic thank you

Otherwise the tranny wouldn't have deleted his post. I know you're reading this, tranny. You will never be a woman. Don't post here again.

>full art supporters can't have flairsIt's over.
>opponent is six cards deeper in their deck>concedes before I get a single pointlmao
>>56886803Must've brick'd
Ugly photo because I didn't want to make an account but this deck is pretty fun. It's not reinventing the wheel, just aiming to apply status effects. With luck on your side you can defeat even Pikachu EX despite the bad type matchup, and I have the screenshots to prove it. If I had another copy of Sabrina or Articuno I would probably add them and adjust the ratios of some of the other trainer cards
>>56886808How do you even brick in Pocket
>>568867832097936306640049
I want to thank the Lilligant/Vileplume deck and my Golduck/Frosmoth/Heliolisk deck for getting me to 50 wins in Event 1.
Feels good making a Pikafag concede. I know you’re in here faggot
>>56886808That’s why I’m laughing. He drew six more cards than me, yet he scooped after his zapdos rolled 2 heads instead of the 3 he needed. Neither of us had points. If he bricked, his deck needs some serious work.
>>56886801sabrina is so beautiful
>>56886828i want sabrina to punch me in the stomach
>>56886817>going dual type with no apparent advantageAre you just a Heliofag? Why split your energies for a mediocre pokemon? You could have run Staryu/Mie with much better consistency.
>>56886813You're exactly the type of player I despise. I just want to play the game, bro.
>>56886819>he thinks the average pikafag is good Most of them are easier to beat than the average mewtwofag.
>>56886814Easier than you think it is and incredibly painful. Sometimes you go 5-6 turns neither an Oak nor a Pokeball showing up and it's especially awful when running three mon lines.
Starmie is so fucking oppressive man, only reason it's not considered the best card in the game is because lucky misty flip artis or lapras are just as impressive.
HOARD CHECK. POST EM
>>56886828she would be hotter if she was a bit younger
>>56886842*just as oppressive
LOL
>>56886834Well theoretically this lets him hit for weakness on fire and water decks, also zapdos, and also have a pokemon line that electric decks don't hit for weakness. Those are some pretty big advantages. IDK if I'd be playing golduck though I feel like Tentacruel is going to be more consistent.
Water decks win if they don't tails the misty, is it still better that weezings?
>>56886843>poke gold (paid)>474This is why you posted, right?
>>56886838I go online and play Pikachu EX after Pikachu EX. Do these guys not get bored? Do they have no other decks? I burned out playing my meta decks getting 50 wins for the event. I just want to goof around now, and I pulled that second Wiggly EX so I understood right away what Pocket needs from me. I'm the hero the online match queue deserves
>>56886850He's a therapist who only works with kids.
>>56886834It's only water energy and beats all water decks, Moltres and Zapdos.

>>56886843How do I check
>>56886870You and me both, should've just fucking spent 4 hours rerolling for a good start
>>56886855I'm at 30+ wins and 75% of the decks I've fought are Mewtwos. I wish I could see more Pikachus just for some variety.

>>56886851>theoretically...but also in practice.>a pokemon line that electric decks don't hit for weaknessSame for Frosmoth.>TentacruelIt's pretty good but Psyduck can't blocks all supporters for a turn including saving it from Gio or Sabrina.
>>56886840What makes it worse is that I had a water deck.
DATAMINES WHEN DATAMINES WHEN DATAMINES WHEN I NEED TO SEE THE MINISETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>56886868That's perfect, thank you!
Should i replace psyduck line with the shellder line in my water deck?
Is it actually realistic to get one of everything in the set before the next set releases?

What's your favourite card in the game so far /ppg/?
>>56886904You can but your energy costs will be pretty high.
>>56886871Yes, you can't start with it because Helioptile needs electric energy but once you evolve it kills every Lapras EX, Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos. I'm building Heliolisk+Fighting deck next. It's the best splash card I have used.
>>56886910Venomoth. It's just a shitty Weezing but shitty Weezing is still pretty cool.
Lol I just realized this little shit is gonna be annoying
>>56886911True psyduck is also good to stop early game supporters I’ll stick with it
>>56886927>3 weeks in>powercreep be creepin
>>56886508>next weekI got that shit done in two days. Not because I'm good, I'm pretty sure I went negative, but because I just wanted to be done with the sweats and be able to enjoy the gameplay without pressure.
Finished a Blaine deck (give or take a Sabrina). Should I keep opening Zard packs for hopes of a second Starmie Ex or should I start opening Pikachu packs or sart Opening Pikachu packs to see if I get a Zapdos ex for a Pikachu deck?
>>56886900Sleep is powerful, I would not use Articuno or Misty but let me know how it works out.
>>56886843bro i have25.230 shinedust with $0 spent and playing since soft launch with 196 packs openedyou are 57.550 shinedust and on top of that 550+ pokegoldyou have spent around $400 in the game already, you should lurk in silence instead of posting a "HOARD CHECK"you are not a hoarder, you are a paypig
>>56886876they need to add a versus category for 3 star and under
>>56886946I like the deck so far like this, but if you removed Articuno and Misty what would you replace them with?
>>56886910the GOAT
>>56886927While I love sleep my biggest fear is that they make it OP and then they make every deck have a counter for it. How it is now is good, a reward for heavy investment in a match and found in a few cards.
>>56886843I wanna pull 10 packs of each
>>56886927>a single random jiggy in every deck to proc sleep to stallstallbros... did we win?
Does anyone even play the Nido deck? I thought it looked cool from the solo mode but I've legitimately never seen it. It's just Pikachu, mewtwo, water.
>>56886969It sucks, rare candies will make it better thoughnice digits though...
>>56886713That's why for Venu decks you don't necessarily want to swing him in as soon as you get it. If you have, for example, Lilligant, you use her as long as possible to tank (100HP isn't huge but it's respectable) and generate extra energy before going down. That way you have 100 more health and the possibility of pulling Venu back if needed with extra energies + X Speed. Sometimes I'll use an Erika on Lilli not because she's more important than Venu, but because damage on her doesn't threaten my Venusaur's ability to sit on active when he gets there AND gives me an energy net positive for various shenanigans.Also important to note that sometimes you're better holding a basic in your hand than putting it down (matchup dependant) because while the extra HP could help, you're risking more points for the opponent that you can't always afford.
>>56886952I would replace Misty with Gio and Articuno with anything else: EX, Lapras EX, Kangaskhan, Farfetch, Meowth, etc.
coco pops and pokemon cards? wow its like its the year 2000 again
>>56886969yeah its pretty garbage rn sadly
>>56886978haha i actually deleted a whole paragraph about how i think lilligant helps venusaur because it was going on too long! i think lilligant is actually the better partner than the also-common exeggutor for that reason (and a few others)
>>56886910Arbok or Exeggutor EX
>Playing energy discard turbo>Opponent is playing good old electric rat turbo>Going first, so good luck have fun>My Mawile hits 4 heads in a row, and the dumbass keeps putting energy in the active pokemon>opponent consneeds after his zapdos does 0 damage to my fully armed and operational melmetalThe decks pretty mediocre, but when it works it works
>>56886656Surely you can handle the CPU with your favorite deck, right anon?
i spent my whole weekend rerollingi even rerolled after getting a crown mewtwo cause i didnt get any other good cardswhen i got a crown mewtwo plus a immersive mewtwo i started actually playing
>>56887005i also rerolled after getting two immersive mewtwos and two immersive pikachusneeded a crown + immersive to get it started
>>56886910I really wanted to like Persian, but it's just a bit too weak.
>>56886943How do you feel about wonder pick?
>>56886992I mean, Eggy helps in a different way. His role is to threaten early so the opponent has to be careful and play around him while you set up Venu in the back, plus potentially being able to come in for a big swing if necessary.I haven't played with Egg yet, but the low cost makes him come online really early and, depending on luck, you could potentially end the game before Venu even hits the field. It's a speed option for the normally slow stall of grass decks, so they fulfill different roles.
>>56886986The Misty is huge for this deck. Even if you are in a situation where you have only a snom and jigglypuff in play, getting one or two heads with Misty for anon means you can focus entirely on powering up Jigglypuff. Here the Articuno is much more desirable than the EXs you named off. It only loses you one prize, and the paralysis is essentially the same thing as Sleep. A turn one Articuno with three heads from Misty will one shot most basics and then you have a 50% chance of paralyzing whatever is left alive. I appreciate your input though
>>56887027They don't play smart, they yolo and assume you'll role tails. Which is true.
>>56885714>/ppg/There's already another /ppg/
finally got my last smogmog bros
>>56886969>the Nido deckI play weezing Nidohttps://files.catbox.moe/agvmjl.mp4
25 charizard packs inno erika full artin fact, no second erika at all for my deck
>>56887025Funnily enough Wonder pick is kinda the reason I'm even asking. I got a Starmie EX and my first Pikachu EX from Wonder Picks and I'm close to having full decks for both.
The wishlist feature for wonder picks might actually increase the odds of seeing picks show up with cards you want. I don't have a huge wish list but I tend to see wonder picks with at least one heart on them for a card I still don't have. That might be by default though, that wonder picks skew towards giving you a chance at something new
>>56887034I'm not saying they do it, I'm saying that's the idea behind him. If they decide to ignore it, it's on them to eat for shit when that heads sends them to the Shadow Realm.Exeggutor is easily the most aggressive mon in grass, more than the even more unreliable Pinsir. He's made to come in early and push frail basics' shit in.
>>56887048Full Arts are so fucking rare for a specific card man. it's bullshit.>.5 chance for them to appear, 10 cards in that rarity, so odds are split between the 10fuck
>>56887048>25 charizard packs inthat's nothing
>>56887027yes, he's still strong with venusaur but I think it's mostly because egg is already strong on his own. i don't think they really contribute a whole lot to each other aside from covering for the phases of the game where the other card struggles. you do also put a fuckton of hp in front of your opponent between exeggutor and venusaur.
>>56887016Yeah, he sucks but there is no better feeling than discarding a Charizard from your opponents hand.
>>56887005not worth keeping an account just for one crown when you otherwise only got shit cards. This was the reroll I ultimately went with, but desu I kind of regret pulling Pika packs at all. Wasted 20 or so packs on that when I can't even build a Pikapdos deck.
How do I make the Fight Back Mankey deck?
>>56886946Sleep's fucked up. I will have nightmares for weeks remembering the Hypno/Wiggy EX deck I fought where I stayed asleep for no joke 90% of the match and the jap started stalling and not killing me just so he could cheat more hypno coins (I refuse to believe that out of the 20+ coins he tossed he only missed twice naturally).
>>56887085pikachu has some interesting cards but i think it has the fewest decks that are self-contained in it. i ended up rolling charizard and got a pretty fun starmie-greninja deck, as well as machamp, charizard, exeggutor, and melmetal decks. none of those really need cards from other sets except maybe giovanni
>>56887085the 2 star cards look better than the 3 star ones desu
>>56887115I mean a water deck that's not running misty is a bit foolish even if it does not outright rely on misty
>>56886120You get your daily free ticket from the shop as well, so 180/mo guaranteed, plus whatever we get from events. The Lapras event also has some tickets for first time completion and as a chance prize for repeat clears. We'll probably be just short or sometimes getting enough to get the 10 stacks of 6 and the 10 singles.
>>56887119i have misty cards now that i've pulled everything worthhile from charizard but its usually a dead card in starmie/greninja. both of them only need 2 energy to attack, and since they need an extra turn to evolve anyway you're not really getting ahead much with misty. it's situationally nice to get a backup attacker charged i guess
>>56887079I also think it's a worse synergy, but my point is that either route is a different logic/playstyle. One leans into the tanking and plays the long game. It's one where you *need* your pieces to make the plan work and you bank on your cards not fucking you up too bad.The other is about having flexibility to do one thing or the other in different phases of the match. It gives you a bit more wiggle room for bad draws and/or unexpected situations because both big boys do their own thing.
>he doesnt have a crown cardbricked
>>56887135you know that idea of stronger card independence is probably the most compelling case i've heard for exeggutor, planning for the best case where you neatly have both cards in hand on time is a losing strategy in pocket. really if you can successfully set up both of them it probably doesn't really matter how perfectly they synergize
You know, I've been thinking about it butwouldn't promo puff + weezing mean some real nasty shit is on its way?
>>56887048>Have opened 3x10 packs>only two full art trainers are both blaineJust give me my damn Sabrina!
I play professors research.It allows me to draw three more cars from my deck. But I'm not done yet.I play professor's research.It allows me to draw three more cards from my deck! (Thats not what it does) That is what it does. I summon charizard ex and attach 6 energy to charizard ex!Roll my dice. Ok now i flip 4 coins. 2 are heads i play giovanni.End my turn
is he better than the ex?
>>56887182t.
>>56887071It's literally like 400 packs on average to get the full art you want. 800 for 2 copies. There are only 9 per pack thankfully so even with the coupon collector effect you "only" need 1000 packs to get the full set of 2star cards for a pack. So only 3000 packs to get a complete full art collection! A mere 18000 pokegold. Why, with the 720 pokegold per day limit, it'll only take you three weeks to spend it all! And after spending 3600 dollars, isn't that the best? You get to savor the next three weeks you spend pulling for your waifu. I bet you can't wait to flair them - MERELY four times as much time and money. After spending four straight months and over ten thousand dollars pulling 120 packs a day, you'll be all ready for the next set! I genuinely can't believe they planned the time between sets to match up with the theoretical time it would take a hyper-whale to be finished with a set
>>56887184Generally if you're spending 4 energy on something you want it to be your finisher, and you want it to be as beefy as possible.
>>56887140my hotwife
>>56887157Exactly. A lot of the stronger decks fully commit to their one gameplan/gimmick (Pika and pals, Moltres pumping Zard, Garde pumping Mewtwo, Misty in general) but the common flaw of all of those is that they're crippled if the gimmick gets messed up.Pika is worthless without a bench, which can be dragged in with Sabrina; Zard is a sitting duck without excess energy to offset the nuke cost; Mewtwo is somewhat frail as far as EXs go and also needs to have reserves; Misty.On the other hand, if you have a more flexible deck, you probably won't have the overwhelming presence those have when they get fully going, but you're not praying and seething till you get there, either. Maybe you can even stop them from getting online in the first place and, if not, at least you have something to fall back on.
>>56887170>promo puff + weezingYes brother, I can't wait for it.
Did you go from f2p to a paypig? Why or why not? Me personally I'm considering the subscription, I've been playing this enough to justify that at the least.
raltz looks like a brat
They should add a chat function so we can talk and praise our opponents!
>>56887170>>56887221i didnt realize i was posting with so many knowers
>>56887223i started 10 days after launch and bought some gold to compensate for the 20 or so packs of pokemon i missed out on
>>56887184no ex has more hp and does100 dmg with 4 energy
>>56887210It's funny because self-sufficiency and consistency are ironically the things Pikachu leans on to win. People look at the powerful Zapdos and the high count of basic pokemon and go "no no, the reason I'm losing is that I'm not laser-focused in enough on my insane moltres + charizard ideal scenario!!!".
>>56887039>Card is in german>But its attack is in English Wat?
Can someone test a theory for me? For the free Bonus Pick, in the position that the Chansey/Meowth is in, if you select that position (top left, middle, etc) for another wonder pick, will it be the card you're aiming for?So for example if the cards randomize and Chansey/Meowth is in X (top right), after that ends, if you try a different wonder trade and select that X (top right) position after the cards randomize, will it be the "chase card" for that set?
I have ~ 60% win rate on my grass deck but honestly I feel like Venusaur is a meme and I should cut him for some low setup cards. I get Venusaur out maybe 1/4 times and half those times it's a flex in a game that's already over.
>>56887223I have no impulse control x_x
>>56887184>he
>>56887223Go away, marketer. Reminder that they say this shit to normalize the idea of spending money in your head, and "inform" you that you can do it. The theory is that if they just say it often enough, it'll magically become true in your head. All you have to do is remember that they're a stupid marketer who doesn't even believe what they're saying, they're just getting paid to say it.
for me its marrowaki enjoy beating every single deck with some luck
>>56887248I don’t think the wonder picks discriminate on what the card you want is outside of the token cost being based on the rarity of what’s in there.
>>56887184no, getting an early venusaur ex with razor leaf has bailed my ass so many times
>>56887255Brother I wish I was getting paid to post on this retarded basket-weaving imageboard.
>Want to roll >No hourglasses>Need 16 wins to level upBros...
>>56887223I'll use it for a gym membership. I'm not from the us btw
>>56887254i do not spot the visible gynoecium seen of female venusaur
>>56887223I've put in like $100 and deeply regret it. Not because $100 breaks me or anything but I have everything which means I'm aiming for nothing except 2*s and gold chu/Mewtwo, and also my friends that play see I have 1500 cards and it demoralizes them
>>56887223I'm holding my 2 week trial for something more useful
>>56887250exeguttor literally NEVER loses
>>56887269its like $10 for like 13 pulls
Why yes I'll take my free Zapdos EX thank you Delibird.
>>56887184No. He's defenseless without 4 energies and his HP threshold is less safe (M2 + Gio, for example). EX has some way to put damage on without needing full energy (no need to delay evo a turn for Ivysaur to attack since Venu EX can also do the same attack) and he survives most anything short of Zard nuke. The only advantage he offers is not needing to be as careful because of the 2 prizes, but if you're gonna go Venu, you're already saving him for late game anyway so it's kind of moot at that point.
what to do with 17 free pokegold?
>>56887310save up for cool coins
>>56887310open 3 packs ofc
>>56887278I'm a poorfuck that's already spent more than he should have on this game. No more until Black Friday.
>>56887273Yeah the f2p economy is pretty good and while I’ve definitely whaled other games I think it’ll ruin the fun and sense of progression. I’ll probably whale out if the next set is Johto though.
What's the price conversion look like for packs per pokegold anyway?
>>56887322>I think it’ll ruin the fun and sense of progressionYou're not wrong man, i have mew and now opening packs and hoarding is so not fun... :(
>>56887326one pack hourglass = 1 gold
>>56887326>>56887331no u need 6 gold for a pack not 12
Someone last thread was asking about Poliwrath and after having been playing with him the past couple days, he's honestly not bad. Better than Gyarados, maybe around Machamp EX level, slightly below or so.
>>568873261 pack = 6 gold = (about) $1.20
How necessary it is to have two Zapdos EX for a Pika deck? I've two different options to wonder pick him but I'm dangerously how on funny glasses and I already have one copy.
Sleep is more demoralizing than paralysis. You make THEM flip the coin to decide if they get to play that turn or not
>most of the time you lose it's because of a bad matchup/bad draws>most of the time your opponent loses it's because of a bad matchup/bad draws>very little room for actual decision making, games are completely linear and dependent on luckThis game sucks and getting the last medal made me realise that.
>>56887059It would be nice if I could add things I already have a copy of to my wish list.
>>56887348not necessary at all, in the ideal scenario he's just a bench filler for you
>>56887355Agreed
>>56887350This >>56887114 convinced me I'm never playing a Misty deck. I couldn't flip a heads to save my life and the only ones I did manage to flip where when ending my turn and it was for naught. I have been painfully made aware I'm not cut out for the coin life.
>>56887350We’re in for a new age of cancer when that Jigglypuff promo drops
>>56887354Welcome to card games
Newfag here, the Misty stuff looks hilarious and makes me want to play the game. How long would it take me to make a Misty deck if I'm F2P?
>>56887373It's going to be a field day for promo Mankey. Stock up.
>play water deck>don't run Misty (not gonna craft her until I'm 100% done rolling Pika packs)>Still have a pretty good win rate vs Misty decksIt's a really good card, and it's frustrating when they fully charge their Articuno turn 1, but I feel like the meme decks that rely entirely on it are pretty bad.
top right my ass!!!
>>56887416*Tops your ass right*
>>56887348>>56887356you need zapdos to tank and be a late game threat/ finisher
>>56887040I want my minute back.
>>56887416>He didn't believe in itThat's why you failed.
>276 hourglassesWat do
>>56887439If you need something specific, pull. If you want something, think about how much you want it, and then pull if you really want it. If you kinda want it, save. Otherwise, save.
>>56887439Roll on Charizard, get Slowpoke full art and let me WP him.
>>56886817>>56886918Good shit anon thanks
What would be the ultimate Las Vegas deck? I wanna cram as much Las Vegas in as possible. Would it be something like Articuno(Non-ex), Hypno, Misty?
>>56886939Doing it in 2 days with my schedule is basically impossible. That's why. I can still log in and claim my morning and night packs but keeping at it all day is too much.
>>56887485>not running the Las Vegas BoneheadNGMI
>>56887485marowak is more vegas than misty
Anyone else just get disconnected or only me? Both WiFi and 5g failed me
>>56887498it's over bro, they're shutting town Pokémon tcg Pocket...
>>56887485If you stick to all water, Seaking, Kingler, Articuno (regular), and two Misty would be a Las Vegas Water Park.
>>56887485personally i ran marowak x2, machamp, and a meowth + trainers /items
>>56887494>>56887496But Las Vegas bonehead only gives you one Las Vegas opportunity per turn.With Las Vegas Prostitute, Las Vegas Waterbird, and Las Vegas Roofie-er, you get up to three Las Vegas opportunities.
The only good flip a coin card is eggs and misty. Both need better decks though.
holy shit got my second mewtwo ex 3 star (also got one with crown)before even getting a fucking second giovanni
>>56887248it actually works.
>opponent 1 pt away from beating me>pull misty and lapras>guy literally just stops playingHOLY SHIT JUST CONCEED YOU FUCK
>>56887529and i mean i still got 1 basic giovanni still wtf
>>56887532nice de geso
>opponents 60HP Weezing has my Mewtwo down to 70HP and poisoned>Sabrinas me, giving me a free retreat and poison cure, letting me sac my useless Ralts and clean up with my other Mewtwothanks?
>>56887569some people just don't know when to sabrina (or just not sabrina at all)
The miniset better give us some dark type support.
Im a f2p player. Started yesterday and just pulled this. I dont even have a fire deck but now I feel like I need to try to build one.
>>56887555tested, doesn't work.
>>56886817Probably blind luck; that deck sucks ass.
I FUCKING WON AGAINST YOUR FUCKING GRENINJA CHEESE BULLSHIT DECK YOU BITCH
113 wp hourglasses left.gonna suck when I eventually run out, then some day see a pick I really want but won't be able to do it because of not enough hourglasses.
>>56887588Did you do it right? It might just be extremely lucky confirmation bias but I got both that Dragonite and a Starmie EX by copying the position of Chansey.
>>56886900Okay this is the most fun I've had in this game so far
CAN YOU USE MORE THAN ONE STAMINA AT A TIME ON LAPRAS EVENT
>>56887623Yeah but you have to suck Lapras's dick.
>>56887184It's a better card because it has better arts
Skip tickets when.
>>56887267Number one thing marketers will say.
>>56886868it doesn't have pocket stuff
>>56887648To skip what?
>36 winsNearly done. After this I'm just gonna open packs for a while. Kinda glad the game doesn't have dailies that require you to battle at least once a day or some shit.
>>56887686Technically it does, you just don't need to do them to get the daily reward. Unless you're skipping Wonder Pick, but those have freebies right now, so.
>>56887029>paralysis is essentially the same thing as SleepThreadly reminder to learn how sleep works lol
>>56887686It does, but it doesn't require you to win, which is nice.
>>56887614I copied it, no drop. Just very lucky on your end.
how many cards you at?633
>>56887705You close your eyes until it's the future.
>>56886959Where can I see this screen?
put erika in the next op
>>56887718628. Just a few hours to match you.
>>56887718525. I've barely leveled, being only 20, and I'm entirely F2P.
Broke and crafted Aero, gotta say it’s fucking clean in Weezing decks. The fact that you can coin flip a game win against the fat hp wincon on slow build decks like Zard/Venu after bricking and being unable to aggro is so nice
>>56887485Articuno, Zapdos EX, Cinccino, Haunter (not Gengar), Hypno, Golurk, Pinsir, Vileplume, Lickitung, Wiggly EX, Misty, Pokeball, Oak. Water, Grass, Electric energies.
>>56887686Go get em, anon. I’m at 26 wins (out of 31 games). Hard to believe some people did the grind in a day.

>>56887705You're cute but if you're attacking with a Pokemon applying one or the other it's the same thing. Sleep just has the extra benefit of potentially lasting multiple turns. Thank you for assuming someone in here was beneath your intelligence level, I'm sorry that was not the case today
MR MIME IS FUCKING TRASH
>>56887851add the goldeen linego big or go home
>>56886656I had to spam that one. Used a 2/2/2 Blastoise, 2/2 Golduck deck with no Sabrina because I spammed pika packs. Sabrina would've won me multiple matches.
>>56887867Why isn't there a dragon energy?
Cool, I can't read itstill cool
I have failed gardevoir wonderpicks three times by now, top center was a lie.
>>56887855I don’t think you’re winning tournaments, but I like the zubat tech. Didn’t realize they were colorless attackers.
w-wait, aerodactyl is useful? but tournament tards in this thread said no!
>>56887895It says サンダー
>>56887855replace zubat with diglet anoni flipped heads 5 times in a row with diglet and i was laughing my ass off and won
>>56887895his Japanese name is Sandaa (Thunder)and his big move is hurricane thunder.
>Two games in a row where both copies of Dragonair are in the bottom 4 of my deckAAAAAAA I'M LOSING IT
>>56887887Most pokemon suck. That's why they are not meta. They need to be either cost efficient or have a polarizing ability to be good
Bruxish should deal 90 damage against hurt Pokémon. 70? are you kidding me? might as well just play Golduck and get the exact same damage without a condition that needs to be played around.
>>56887907>gardevoirJust craft it and save WPS for EX and stuff
>>56887914I think as people get better at the game, Pikachu Ex would fall off a bitGetting better at benching the main pika and picking off his bench is key to killing him, disruption cards like Aerodactyl, Pigeot and Arbok will deal with it easyThen you have the sleep tech that Jigglypuff enables soonCopiumBut this is probably all a moot point if the miniset just powercreeps and changes the meta as soon as it releases
>>56887914Wait a couple weeks and I think you’re gonna see people slap him on certain decks in the tournaments desu
Lol what a baby
>>56887946I don't think they will powercreep the rat that fast. That's their posterboy
>finally got the promo Mankeys for the Primeape deckPeople who run the deck here, did you use Dugtrio or Sandslash as a partner? Feel like I shouldn’t go all in on the Ape just in case.
>>56887937I know... I just wanted that stupid profile picture. I think I'll stick to exes from now on.
>>56887958Sandslash, Marowak EX, or Machamp EX
>>56887954Average Mewtwo player.
>>56887958>>56887965You can add some Golbat out just so if Psychic is giving you a hard time. Just make sure the deck only gives out Fighting energy since Golbat can go colorless
>>56887939God hes so hot
>>56887946if the miniset power creeps a lot I'll just quit the game because that pretty much says that the best time to start playing is always as late as possible as to not have to go through drought when new sets release and I'm not retarded enough for that kind of skinner box.
>>56887946I think pika is going to fall off in a big way. The rat’s low hp and underwhelming mid/late game damage output are already difficult to play around at times. Unless the deck somehow gets faster + more consistent in the next set, it’s hard to imagine it keeping up. The deck won’t be complete shit or anything. Pikachu ex is just going to become more and more of a liability as time goes on.
>>56887946Given long enough time the only thing that won’t get power crept out of the first set is Oak, and even that is iffy if the 30 card format ends up being real and they make a draw 3
>>56887956Pikachu is eternal even if you don't make it OP. I don't think competitive players care about it too much so as long as they print pretty Pikachu cards, casuals will be happy.
>>56887980If there’s ever a neutral or electric energy generation card I think Pikachu will always remain relevant.
>>56887988Optimistic to think powercreep is letting any current deck remain relevant beyond the next set.
>>56887988Energy generation cards are stupid in this format. Misty was a mistake and should have worked only with select pokemon like Brock and Blaine do.
Top right wins again.
>>56887988>Pikachu will always remain relevant.Pika will be, just when they inevitably release more variants, another EX, GX or V or someshit
>>56887839For me the most frustrating losses are when I pick the wrong option but it wasn't why I lost. Like I can choose between putting the Vulpix or the Magmar in the active spot. Vulpix wins if I draw Ninetails, Magmar wins if I draw Blaine. I pick Magmar and then remember that Vulpix's attack might give me a second turn. The I draw Ninetails, so I didn't lose because of my mistake, I just lost because of the regular luck of the draw coin flip that I thought I was making. It's infuriating.
How do I fight the desire to pull.
which common card doesn't exist for you?for me it's vulpix
>>56887936The reason is that it's a basic pokemon but yeah it's not particularly good.
>>56888025make an alt account and get your pull fix there. or learn to actively fight the urge until it doesn't bother you anymore.
>>56887958As a general rule if you have a 2 cost attacker that wants to go second, you want to play a 1 cost attacker that goes first to complement it. So regular Marowak or Dugtrio. Maybe both.
>>56888028I want my cute little Tynamo but I can't get it...
>>56888019That's why XSpeed is huge in Blaine since you want the flexibility to un-fuck yourself
>>56888025Remember it's no but November and put it away
>>56888028Venonat, Tangela, Seel, Horsea, Electabuzz, Nidoran M
>>56888041bro I swear I have like 10 seels
>>56887867Skill issue
>2 Moltres Ex 2 Charizard Ex paypigOh fuck off, I deserved to win this
>>56887867I still don't know why they didn't just have it cycle between them each turn
>>56888043I have 12 Slowpokes and 11 Dubwools.If we ever get a Slowbro-king/Dubwool Lvl x meta at least I won't have to pull for them specifically.
I'm surprised they still haven't printed out a Gardevoir EX or even alt to get more to pig out
>>56888064Saving it for the Hoen EX packs.
Wait, so Aerodatcyl can win you games if it gusts off the solo pokemon?
>>56888064Oh, we'll get it. We will.
>>56888064trust the plan
>>56888065>hoenn packi came just thinking about this
>>56888000I swear everytime I think its top right it ends up being middle, and everytime I go middle it ends up being top right. It's legit making me schizo thinking the game can read my brainwaves.
Top right is always right except when it's not.Also, for the schizo anon, I did a meowth pick and hit meowth top right.
>>56888073Yeah, it’s a pretty strong Las Vegas mon
>dragon is just a gimmick with multiple energies thats how they justify it's exitance >steel's gimmick is...uh....what the fuck is the point steel?
>>56888053I have all of those cards free to play. Got insanely lucky wonder picking for a Charizard EX and a Moltres EX. Both were top middle picks by the way, and I have the screenshots to prove it
>>56888064Early focus on Kanto EX makes sense. The rest will come
>>56888064I'm fine that they haven't, as much as I love her. The Ex 3D "art" is so awful. I greatly prefer the beautiful, almost dreamlike art she has in the game currently.
>>56888073Yeah, so long as the coin blesses you.
>>56888084So is this more confirmation bias or are we both Schizos???
>>56887517I meant to reply to this post sooner. Well done
>>56888101>keep hitting heads>it's like you're getting blowjob after blowjob>hit tails >she fucks your ass They were really clever with this
what the fuck you got against us mewtwo bros?
>>56886148nta but the fuck do you mean the order?Unless you are counting ex mons on both sides or saying that letting you lose 2 ex mons before losing = you lose after losing 2 ex mons (so you can only lose 1 and a basic) what the anon said makes no sense.Without losing you can:lose 2 ex and a basic in paper tcglose 1 ex and a basic in pocket
>>56888082choose one and always pick that one. If you get a rare card, on the very next wonder pick choose a different spot, then go back to picking your designated spot until the next rare card. It'll maintain your sanity and if you always choose the same one statistically speaking you'll be right eventually.
>>56888086Steel hits ice types like Frosmoth hard and so far the trend seems to be they really don't like colorless energy. Melmetal requires 3 steel energy and one colorless
>>56888099The EX art looks fine, though
>>56888073Yeah, a 50% chance to drag yourself out of hell considering how many decks use and play to a single win condition. Plus I’m sure the tilt factor/fear factor is crazy
>>56888086Actually Colorless cards in the main card game can also use Multi energySo we'll probably see Dragon's gimmick used for that eventually
>>56888133when will we get what we deserve, aerodactylKINGS?
>>56888104You're almost assuredly a schizo.There's no we.Top right for life.
>>56886538The problem with Caterpie is that by himself really all he does is provide more consistency to mid decks. Like cool you run 2 Caterpie and now you can draw Venusaur EX's entire line 90% of the time instead of 60% in the first couple turns. But now you're down 2 points because Caterpie sucks. No current grass deck is really strong enough to trade consistency for power.
Riddle me this Batman If there's supposed to be no meaningful difference between the chests of boys and girls before puberty, why are boys allowed to keep theirs uncovered
>>56888146To get girls into the habit of not being topless
>>56888146nobody cares if a girl walks around without a shirt pre-puberty unless you're surrounded by middle aged hoa board women who think harry potter is satanic
>>56888000>Dub trips>Best card>best space pickedYup, this post has been checked.
>>56888115energy acceleration without needing to attack is nigger-tier behavoir and you should feel bad about it
Come back here and fight me like a man River
>>56888168Niggsa is so fugly
Really enjoying my blaine and weezing/wigglytuff decks.
>>56888171Thanks for nothing, River.
>>56886943I'm in this exact same situation.I'm lacking a starmie ex and 2 moltres from the zard packs and I have opened 0 pikachu packs.Should I give up on charizard and go with pikachu? Should I start saving hourglass for the miniset?
>>56888120lose ex 2lose ex 4 lose non ex 5 lose ex 7pocketlose 2x or lose normal + normal + ex = 4nta but what's your iq btw?
>>56888145i would gladly get closer to guaranteeing games where a caterpie gets sacrificed but venusaur ex comes out every time. that is how you win tcgs. i see your point though, venusaur still won't beat pikachu as the best deck. that said, my goal isn't to make venusaur the best deck- it's to make the best venusaur deck.
>opponent is level 30+wew
>>56888194>before losingPersonally I wouldn't say that I'm "allowed" to lose 3 ex mons before losing if I lose right afterwards.You could say "forces you to lose 3 ex mons before losing" or "makes you lose" but allows is simply the wrong word which no one above room temperature IQ would say unless they are ESL.And if you had any reading comprehension you would see I already accounted for that "or saying that letting you lose 2 ex mons before losing = you lose after losing 2 ex mons (so you can only lose 1 and a basic)"It was horrible word choice that gives a false impression of the risks you are ALLOWED to take in a given game.Everyone that doesn't have an issue with the post is actually showcasing their aspie autism levels as they have no way to communicate like an actual person who understands the English language.
>>56888145It doesn't matter how many points I go down early game if it's impossible for them to take the last one they need.
Every top right EX I missed was worth it for this, 100% of gambling addicts quit right before they’re about to make it big
