Are you having fun?How much money did you pump into this game already?
>>56890541f2p btw
>>56890541I'm not spending anything until they add Porygon-Z
>>568905410 dollarswon't spend a single time unless they add Acerola
>>56890541I'm about at a 5.5 out of 10, I enjoy the packs/collecting/buying flair/making cute binders and I hate matchups :3
>>56889633>I'm honestly impressed by the auto battle AI.auto ai played my koga deck to perfection but then forgot to use the ability before switching out next game. I recorded it if anyone's interested
>>56890552The mistakes are because its not AI, it's a hired indian playing for you
>>56890541Yes. Currently still 0, but I might grab those Erika sets
>>56890541It's pretty fun, started playing like four days ago. It's literally impossible for me to spend money on it since the game isn't allowed in my country unless I use a VPN which I'm too lazy to get, so I'm doing fine so far. Just wish I had better luck with my pulls, I haven't gotten a single Dark type yet so I can't get started on a Dark deck.
this game runs like shit on my phonewhat emulator do you guys use?
I want to make a steel deck but I hate that stupid fucking bootleg pokemon Melmetal
Time to pick a booster pack. Do you pick the first one they show? Do you scroll a specific number of packs down the line? Just pick a random one? Tell me what you guys do
>2nd full art Mewtwo EX>4rd Mewtwo EX in general>still no Gardevoir or any other competent deck I can buildplease TPC...
>>56890574It doesn't matter anon, it's purely cosmetic they are all the same.
>>56890574First one. Everything else is a lie
>>56890574first one since it doesnt matter
>>56890541Yeah£0
guys i love poliwhirl and poliwrathhow do i make a deck for them??
>>56890574neither pack selection nor wonder pick selection affect anything, its all predefined as soon as you commit to doing ityou can test it yourself by entering a pack selection or wonderpick, disconnecting your internet or entering airplane mode, seeing the results opening the account on another device will show you that you have the cards that you got while you were offlineso its either predefined or the app has magic
>>56890593you go to decks, then the + to make a new deck
>>56890594that reassures me, I will stop spending 2m looking for a potential hint and just take 1st one
>>56890541>funSometimes>moneyNone
>>56890573You're not gonna make a steel deck with what we have currently. Jotho wave should fix this. But we'll probably have the Elite 4 before, and maybe Team Rocket.
>Slowpoke and Erika in Wonder trade>Get fucking HelioliskI'm never trusting the far right again.
>>56890541f2p. might abandon the game now that the shower of hourglasses and therefore packs is over and the game's true colours have started to shine through. (aka wait a whole month to be able to buy a few hourglasses and then go back to a slow drip feed.)
>>56890620worked on my machine
Should I try for Mewtwo Ex or try for Weezing?
>>56890651Neither
>>56890541>Are you having fun?Yeah, kinda. Hitting up against the limits of the content available right now, so I think I'll be leaving off rolling until the next expansion hits. There's a bunch of EXes I don't have but honestly, do I really need every legendary bird at EX? I honestly don't, it's not like I care all that much about meta decks or whatever.>How much money did you pump into this game already?f2p.
>>56890651depends which deck you want to play I reckon
>match up against a guy with clearly pay2win deck and playmat>surrenders before the game even startedtypical metafag who cant handle a hand that isnt minmaxxed to his build
>>56890541Yeah. Pretty. Stuff is very casual right now. I bought the Garde cosmetics and the one-time discounted gold. I'll probably spend more if any future deals look good enough.
>try out Wheezing/Muk >on one hand it takes some setup to get going, you really cannot retreat your pokemon without Koga and you don't have any energy acceleration tools>on the other hand though you get to dunk on Mewtwo decks super hardit's worth it honestly
>>56890651Ex cards are better to wp in terms of their economic value because with pack points you can craft weezing for 70 or 150 while an ex would cost 500
>>56890541Sort of, easy time killer. Mainly hoping that they add better supports later on but I'm fine right now. Just hope the game doesn't remain too simple for too long. I bought the Gardevoir pack because I had some Google bux laying around on my account from a gift card. Nothing else to blow it on honestly.
>>56890574im first pack pilled
>>56890668are you a moron or what?the game is 90% decided by the initial coinflipand the other 10% by the initial hand and first turnafter that its just a flowchart to finish the match and there are very few situations where the result might vary over the course of the gameonce you know your deck, the opponents deck, who goes first and the starting hands and setups its pretty obvious who wins, its just a matter of playing it out over the next 5 to 10 minutes or not
If my Pikachu EX is under threat can I evolve it to Raichu so my opponent only gets 1 point instead of 2?
I need more poke girls in this game
>>56890697>once you know your deck, the opponents deck, who goes first and the starting hands and setupsno shit, sun tzu
>>56890541It's still good but the event is mind numbing. I wish I could play funnier decks but I I'll be stuck forever there forever if I do.45 wins is too much even with the time allotted.
>>56890710No, Raichu evolves from Pikachu, not Pikachu ex
>>56890711There's a reason the Pokémon games and Fire Emblem Heroes are profitable where AC and Mario Kart died. You need characters you wanna fuck. Like, Rosalina is cute but I'm not gonna whale for her.
>>56890697>after that its just a flowchart to finish the match and there are very few situations where the result might vary over the course of the gameNot him. I’m going to say you’re wrong, but that’s probably fueled by my experience in running a pika deck. There are preferred moves for situations like going 1st vs going 2nd, but my gameplan is very reactive to my opponent’s board state. I do think it’s fair to say that most decks aren’t capable of being as flexible as pika right now. However, I would expect that to improve a bit with time.All that being said, I do have games that are just fucked from the start. >mirror pika match>I go first>none of my turn 1 pieces of draw power>opponent’s field is stacked>they use research + 2 pokeballs>red card somehow bricks me harderI’ve made some ridiculous comebacks, but sometimes there really is no hope. I’m still dumb enough to play it out, though.
c'mon dude don't concede just before I'm gonna swing for victory, that's just lame
Is there some sort of survivorship bias going on here, I swear I played like 10 games in a row without going second once.
>>56890748They’ll tell you that it’s “to save time”, but how much time does it really take me to swing once after using a sabrina? Just be honest and say you’d rather not watch yourself get smacked kek.
I'm only adding whales from the id sheet
>>56890748I find it more entertaining if they do quit. I can just taste the salt
>>56890748Oh but I shall, AND I'm not sending a 'Thanks!' to you gay ass.
>>56890757>>56890761All of this is in your head, you have no idea what they're thinking.
>>56890574I look for bent packs and backwards packs>>56890742Post your deck? you seem like a bad player. I'm over 50 wins and never even used my Pikachu Ex deck. Won with all kinds of random decks or decks I was just testing
>>56890751It’s like that sometimes. Had a really tough time yesterday in the upper event bracket because every game I played had me going first. I’ve lost 5 games out of 31, and 3 of those were from the 6 games I played yesterday.
>>56890747that guy probably doesn't even do any battles
>>56890747I do think when more support variety is added and the game expands out more, the game will be more reactive overall. It's not impossible for them to expand on more mechanics later down the line. Personally I feel multi energy decks are super flaky right now and I'd like to see some cards to help with that.sucks ass when someone gets jackpot from Misty and deletes me turn 1 with Articuno EX but at least it's over quickly
>>56890764Maybe, but the insta-scoop on my turn when I’m about to swing for the win is not a show of respect. It’s the opponent denying me a point and running off with their tail between their legs.
Dragonite looks like fun. Anyone here using it? What cards do you use with it?
>one shotting a poisoned mewtwo ex with Mukbetter than sex
>>56890770I don't blame anyone for conceding when they know they've lost, that's what the button is for. Anything else is just wasting time.
>>56890774I'm using Pidgeot with it but I'm pretty sure that's not optimal.
Is this our permanent event currency, or will they switch it (like Masters Ex, for example)? Trying to determine if I waste it on this dust here.
>>56890785permanent iirc
>>56890774Anything that can buy time really(optional put plenty of pressure without significant investment), Kangaskan, and Weezing, are some of the best walls you can ask for.
>>56890765Can't be bothered to screenshot, but it's a fairly standard Charizard/Moltres deck. Even though it's winning, it's mind numbing because it all ends the same way. It only loses to Misty and abysmal draws.The decks I really want to play are Nido because their art look good, Seadra/Greninja because it sounds fun and Blaine because I'm firefag but I miss critical cards to make them reliable.
>>56890785>>56890788>Event Ticket (Meowth)
>>56890779>that's what the button is forWell, yeah. People are just a little too quick to use it in my opinion. I’ve won plenty of games that others would have lost due to a scoop (opponent gets misty + blizzard off on their first turn, stacked full hp zard hits the field with no one of one shotting it on mine, etc.). This is fairly casual and should be used as a learning tool if you plan to play for a while. You don’t learn much from raking your cards off the table and running away.The bit about conceding on the final turn after your opponent plays the “gotcha” card (gio, sabrina, x speed, red card, etc.) is just childish in my opinion. Doesn’t really make me mad. It’s just obvious that they aren’t doing it to save time. They’re trying to save face.
>Opponent leads sole egg>I lead sole char>I go first so they can't evolve>They can't manage to find anything else to put on the bench >Attacks and immediately concedesI wonder if there will ever be some official on game bo3 type event.
>>56890745Hex girl will be the emergency button for some quick dosh
>>56890770>>56890807You're insane bro. Once you are checkmated you concede and thank the opponent. That's the noble and respectful thing to do.
>>56890819No it's not. The respectful thing is to sit there and let me actually demonstrate how thoroughly you got outskilled.
>>56890807>childish in my opinionI just don't understand whyIf you know you're cooked if you see Sabrina, and then you see Sabrina, why wait?
>>56890807As someone who has done it, it's mostly a carry over from the former line of thinking. "I've basically lost and should just concede but hey if they don't Sabrina me I can live"So basically from at least 1 turn in advance you already know whether you won or lost based on if they have Sabrina or Gio or whatever, and you have been spending a lot of time just waiting for them to reveal it or not, and that can get annoying because you still have to play out the turn but you're just waiting for your opponent to reveal the gotcha card or not, so finally by the time they do it turns into a "Oh good I can finally concede now (because I couldn't concede until you revealed that gotcha card)Ofc sometimes you misplay or are salty over brick hands and your opponent top decking the gio/Sabrina, but zi wouldn't inherently call it childish, though at that point it is probably nice to let them just swing, though not every opponent solves things so quickly and simply.
Fuck Charizard ex fags>>56890541Honestly debating going premium for the Mewtwo cosmetics just to give my psychic deck a bit more flair.Other than that, f2p btw.>>56890742Honestly just go for 5 wins a day and you'll get gold. Unless they have a Platinum Medal only available for the top 100 battlers or something then my autism will never be satisfied.>>56890748At least you still get rewarded. Though the funniest rage quits are at the beginning of the match when shit doesn't go their way from minute 1.>>56890774I don't really have enough cards for a Dragonite deck (just missing Weezing) but Weezing and Koga are probably the most optimal stallers while you get Dragonite set up.
Are these permanent? I don't like the Mewtwo stuff and I thought about saving them for a drop I care about.
You guys need to draw more god packs, your wonder trade offerings are pathetic.
>>56890541Yes. I've always been a scrub at heart so I've mostly been playing lower meta decks like Blaine and Poliwrath. I bought the Gardevoir pack, all the discounted gold, and a 20 dollar pack. I don't plan on buying anymore until new packs and a discount happen.
>>56890774My dragons are unstoppable.
>>56890534We should add a column to the friend sheet to show language. If someone, doesn't play in English, they can advertise their foreign cards.
Red card is good? But how? You can't see the opponent's hand unless you use the scope card
>>56890799Awhn.... I missed the naming convention. Dust, here I come.
How long did it take you to get sick of the lapras battle and just start autobattling it instead of doing it manual?
>>56890863
>>56890774Here's what I've been rolling with. Kinda coinflippy, but fun.
>taking my arcanine ex deck out for walkies>vs pikachu ex deck>wind up with only a single growlithe on the field with 2 energy and the opponent two points up>evolve arcanine, ko the pikachu already on field>watch the opponent realize their other Pikachu ex can't do enough damage to KO, and that's if they have the energy>knock them out next turn (if they don't consneed)God, what a feeling. This is the type of shit you play a TCG for.
>>56890819>thank the opponent>implying they willDoesn’t really matter either way.>>56890825>why wait?The game tracks total points earned, and a concede shorts the winner at least one point. More importantly, the scenario I’m trying to describe is one in which you might have to wait only ~10 seconds for the opponent to click attack. It’s not saving meaningful time to concede.>>56890829I get all of that. We’ve all been there. That’s why I make it a point to demonstrate “this is game and I’m going to swing” as early as possible on the final turn.
>>56890823You appear to think this is a fighting or action game. It's a strategy one and forcing an opponent into submission via tactics is the pinnacle.
>>56890854Why the gyarados?
>>56890863It's a way to reduce your opponent to 3 cards and make them waste more draws to get back the cards that returned to the deck.
>full art Weezing>full art Japanese Weezing>still no koffings
>>56890888You could just buy them.
>autistically changing the language of my game every time I do the Lapras event for "foreign" promo cards
>>56890823>florida guy is back at it againDidn't you get told off last night for the exact same argument? Stop acting like a child.
I knew this was coming after winning 2 zapdos exes and 1 exeggutor in a row in wonder picks
Are the servers slow, or is it just a me issue?
>>56890811>bo3 type event.I only understood half of the words you typed, but I'm all for a bo3 format. Particularly if it's ranked.
>perfected my main deck>beat all expert solo battleswhat do i do now?
>>56890823The "outskilling" already happened. Both players already know exactly how the game is going to end.
>>56890902thanks for the tip
>>56890868Bro, I didn't manual any of those fights until Expert. I'm not going to waste my time playing against an easy bot. The tutorial was boring enough.
>>56890925Play a non toptier deck.
>>56890925>beat the shitty AI ok? do the pvp event now
>>56890936the pvp event that gives me no hourglasses?
>>56890912>based coomer picking his waifu over rare cardsNice.
>>56890940>play game>get thanks>use tranny tickets on hourglassesWeird that you brag about beating retarded bots, but are reluctant to fight actual people, even if it's just 7 year old Satoshi from Osaka.
>>56890868>>56890930I did a chunk of the work myself but eventually realized I could just let the "odds" do the work for quests. Ended up playing other games on my PC while phone's just auto'ing the fights sitting on the desk. All quests are done.
>>56890947>battle 5 times>no more tickets>nothing to dosettle down
>>56890830I see, need to pull more in the mew2 pack too >>56890876Nice, maximum gambling
>>56890925Friendlies with /ppg/!
weezing's attack should require colorless>its just tackle>does 30 damage
>thought they could beat the sky fire puppy>didn't even send thanks afterwards Ggs mr salty. That's what happens when you rely on Misty and whiff.
In my last 12 games using the Misty deck I have hit Tails first 11 times. How is this legal.
>Opponent evolves Staryu into Starmie ex>Don't have a way to get rid of it or survive its attacks because it's far too fucking strong for being so insanely cheap to playStarmie ex is the only ex pokemon I want to see banned. Literally every other ex is fine, even Pikachu ex, since they can be countered easily. Starmie ex though? If you don't have anything that can do 130 damage in one hit, or if you don't get insanely lucky with sleep/paralysis coin flips, that star WILL shred at least one of your pokemon, without fail. It's even worse with the CPU opponents because if a Staryu comes out, it WILL evolve next turn if it isn't dealt with right then and there, no exceptions.
Any prediction on how trade gonna work>can only trade after certain level>can only trade after playing for x number days>can only trade with card that has same rarity>no trading with friend >trading work just like wonder pick (random offering)
>>56890986lets gopassword: dogars
>>56891046can only trade after a certain level, once per day, can't pick with who, and you offer a card of a given rarity and then wonder pick between five other offerings of the same rarity
>>56891046any prediction on when trading is going to fucking come out how is it not in the game yet
>>56891046>>can only trade after playing for x number daysI have several accounts past level 5 just in case.
>>56891046Level cap it all you want but I should be able to trade an unlimited amount of times with a friendAny other rule is fucking gay
I wish we could have "X's Pokémon" and if you use that supporter on them it boosts their effects.So, for example, if you use Brock with pic related, you'd get 2 energies, or something like Giovanni's Nidoking would get an extra 20 damage if you Gio it.
>>56890986if my cardpool didn't suck and I could make fun decks then maybe
>>56891046If they make it so that you can literally just trade with anyone, then everyone who rerolled multiple accounts and linked an email to the good ones will have the best collections. Better than whales, probably.
Anon, you will be spending those WP on the chansey pick to finish the event, right?You won't let those unfinished meowth and chansey missions stay at 1/2, right?
i keep getting into fights with japanese people, or just people with japanese namesits to early to be playing?
>>56891046costs stardustsame rarityonly surplus cardsminimum account level and/or age
>>56891008>stage 1>130 hp>survives everything outside the big 3, and even then only when they're set up properly>2 energy, 90 damage>no retreat costIt is pretty busted. It's nice that water has a beat stick for when their Misty inevitably flops, but this is crazy. Comparing it to Egg Ex is a fuckin joke. I'm not even sure how to fix it. Maybe something like:>Hydro Slash: 3 energies>one retreat costI feel like taking away damage or health is a bad idea because it IS an Ex. It needs to be beefy and hit hard. So all that's left is to slow it down and don't let it slip away without punishment.
>>56890541Yeah I’m having fun. Pack drip is starting to be kind of a slog especially when the few I do open now are all garbage. Sucks being a lucklette.So far spent 0 dollars but I’ll probably sub to the premium pass for the extra pack each day + missions and content for shits and giggles. Doubt I’ll ever drop money on gold or whatever. If I was gonna spend cash like that I’d buy physical cards.
>rush kingler>kill pikaniggersSuch is life
how do you guys balance the distribute of mons and items/support when building decks? feel like im struggling with getting fucked over by the AI on deck pulls during matches
>Red CardI fucking hate you
>>56890594Wait so Wonderpick is a lie??
>>56891185>Red Card>Persian to rip 1 more cardhehehe
always top right
>my hand is always bricked naturally>red card unbricks itI love red card
Do you guys know how to beat Articuno/Starmie?
>>56890594Shut up, BITCH!TOP RIGHT or BOTTOM RIGHT???
>>56891195>always top rightI just did that 5 seconds ago
>>56891205i'll top right on her if you know what i meanheheheheheh
>>56891202Cum on your screen.
>>56891205The doduos will be middle and top right, Sabrina will be bottom left trust
When your opponent is away but comes back instead of timestalling its because they are replying to messages from their beloved friends meaning they are better than you
>>56891205Bottom right every time. Don't trust the liars, if you disconnect the game just auto-picks at random
i always go bottom left because its the one my finger is closest to
>>56891215I don't. Please explain.
>dream of me when you sleep
>>56890748I do this because people waste time putting more energy down and evolving instead of just attacking for w
>>56890844Blame DeNARare packs don't exist in my game.
>tfw beating out mewtwo/gardevoir shitters with my Nidoking/queen deckdas it mane
>>56891274I have some kind of mental illness that makes me unable to play with any legendaries/starters because they are "overrated garbage" in my mind and I get an emotion similar to that of an orgasm when I beat a mewtwo or articuno deck with my exegguttor deck
>>56891274>Bragging about winning an unloseable matchup
>>56891286found the mewpu/garde shitter
Is Lapras EX a decent substitute to Articuno EX in Starmie/Articuno?
>>56891290I only got my second Garde yesterday and I don't even think Mew2 ex is the right way to play psychic
>Try some grass deck>"Hmmm, surely no one will try that hard in non event matches...">Another Pikachu deck
>>56891293Yes
>>56891128Don't have to care about the mission when 2 tickets from free picks let you clear the shop all the same
>>56891297>I don't even think [the objectively strongest psychic pokemon card available] is the right way to play psychicSo... What would it be?
Why shouldn't I put Golbat in every deck to deal with the Mewtwo matchup?
I need friends pulling on Charizard packs, please.3301175302903995
>>56891329Weezing/Arbok/Pidgot deck
>>56891299>try hardYou'd be surprised how many people just net deck. You could make some shit like Muk/Tentacruel and convince normies that it's good just by putting it at the top of the meta lists. They're not tryhards, they're just legitimately fucking retarded and have zero creativity. You can really tell when you start to notice the cracks in their decks.>Pika deck running Farfetch'd/Kangaskhan>Mewtwo deck running Swoobat>Charizard deck running FlareonI think of them the same way I think about a fish in a river. There's not much going on in there and that's fine. It's no skin off my back.
game should limit 1 gx non repeatable per deck, this is how you balance it
>>56890842That’s exactly enough to buy out the shop. I find it hard to believe that they’ll ever give you less than you need to buy out all the premium shops. Get the mewtwo stuff even if you don’t like it, you won’t need those tickets even if they do carry over
>>56891335what does adding people do?
which decks counter mewtwo and charizard?
>>56891349they are able to give you a blowjob
Persian seems funny but no idea how to use it
>>56891173Premium pass is $0.50/pack more or less, if you’re going to spend money this is the way to go. I plan on keeping mine after the free trial wears off.
>>56891359throw meowth first for some cards then if you get persian you pray it deletes the opponent's dragonite or something
How much pokemons you should have per deck? I usually go for 10 but i feel that i rarely get what i need
>>56891362>$0.50/packIsn't it like half that?>30 packs>roughly 7$ (I'm not in America. This is what my currency comes out to.)>700/30 = less than a quarter per pack
>>56891377>there has to be a perfect split between Pokémon and items/trainersStop with the autism and play what the deck needs. Something like pika will need more than something like arbok/weezing. It all depends on what you’re trying to accomplish
>>568913772 of whatever line you're running, maybe 2 filler to act as blockers, and no more than that in 99% of cases.
>>56890774I run it with double Weezing and 1 Farfetch'd.2 Kogas and 2 Potions keep them alive long enough to set up Dragonite most of the time, Farfetch'd can be a good starting mon or come in later to clean up.The risky part is running 3 energy, some games you can get bricked because that last water/electric just doesn't want to come out, but having the option to deal some damage on top of poison has won me games especially vs Psychic decks.
I played this game forn3 days and have 25 wins. The game is shit
>>56891392It’s $10 for me in the US
I think bent corner packs being good isn't a meme anymore. If you wanna try and wonder pick this I'm skibiditoilet on the spreadsheet.
>>5689137710/10 is the rule of thumb, but it really depends on your specific deck/strategy. If you want a better answer, shows us your deck list.
>>56891377I have 9. The less you have obviously the higher chance of drawing what you need. Sometimes you just keep drawing items/trainers and it gets annoying.
>>56891407Oh, I'm luckin out then. Even with it being 10$, that's barely over 30 cents a pack. Pretty dang good, considering. I know there are mini physical packs you can get with only 5 cards in them for like a dollar here in Asia. Do they sell those in America nowadays? How much gold does it cost to buy a 10 pack with 0 energies? I wanna see what the money/gold/pack ratio looks like.
>More and more people are switching from Charizard to Arcanine for Fire decksDo you agree with this? I guess it has a better matchup vs pikachu, but still 6 energy zard is a guaranteed win unless they can sabrina to snipe a winning point
>>56891202It goes in every deck and kills every Articuno and every Lapras. It can't solo Starmie but he will make it run. If you go full electric you can try Zebstrika to hunt it down.
>>56891426I’ve seen those at stores on occasion, they’re like a dollar or two and are usually at the counters to try and get little kids to convince their parents to buy one. I’ve seen 3 and 5 card packsAs far as the gold goes, the $20 deal will get you exactly enough for a 10-pull. Makes the subscription way more worth it
>>56891329Mewtwo is too squishy and way too slow to set-up without gardevoir. 2 energy for 50 damage is simply not enough on a pokemon that potentially gives 2 points to the opponent. Gengar EX is bulkier and turns of game winning tricks like Sabrina/Giovanni/Erika while also giving you the choice of when to drop him without risking being taken out prematurely and giving the opponent 2 points like mewtwo>B-but muh 150 dmgThis only matters specifically vs pokemon with health values between 110-150(160 with giovanni) and everything above dies to 2 hits weather it be Gengar or Mewtwo. There is also the option of not running any EX pokemon but I don't have the cardpool to test that out yet. I still think 1 Mewtwo EX is good to run as a revenge killer to sweep once your main threat is taken care of.

>>56891184Be mindful of the number of basics in your deck. You are guaranteed one basic in your starting hand but after that you have to rely on oak and Pokeball which are mandatory. I avoid making more than half my deck Pokemon.

>>56891463No really good stage 2 support like rare candy*
Reached 45 wins yesterday with the Primeape deck, feels good bros. Which deck did you use to get the last ribbon?
>>56891430I think it’s a little silly, but it’s the meta. Give it time to settle. Pika is overrated (a bit) and very popular. Arcanine’s relevance is tied to that, so well what what changes. Mewtwo is weirdly underrated right now. I think the deck is a little boring, but to me, it only seems slightly less consistent than pika (if at all).
the fuck is grass even effective against? every water deck i've faced has just been weak to electric
>>56891442>i feel that i rarely get what i needYour problem isn't the amount of pokemon you have, but which ones you have. You running 3 different families and 3 basics. It's no wonder you never get what you need because you're looking for too many different things with no consistency. This isn't a suggestion, but an example: if you cut the pidgeys and meowth in lieu of adding in more staryus, an articuno, and another Lapras, then you would probably feel much more consistent. If you love those cut pidgeys, then go make a second deck around them. They don't necessarily need to be in here. Again, that's not a suggestion. Figure out what you want to do with the deck/what you enjoy playing and focus around that. Trim the fat and make the deck more reliable. >picrelHere's another example. It's pretty obvious what the goal of this deck is. Every card serves make Venusaur work. There's no fluff. I don't need an Egg Ex because he doesn't help the Venusaur. Butterfrees are nice, but 3 cards is a big investment that probably won't even get played consistently. I love Pinsir, but there's no way I would slot him in over, say, X speeds or Potions. Find your purpose and pursue it.
>>56891463>The real problem with gengar ex is how fucking bad gastly and haunter areI agree that they aren't ideal but Haunter's attack costing 1 energy means that you can put the energy towards something else + evolutions works as a pseudoheal. Garde evolution line in itself is kinda underrated as the active pokemon. Going first you might miss out on Ralts/Kirlia attacks but Garde can give herself energy so turn 5 she ramps herself to attack. There is also the promo haunter coming soon with a 50 dmg attack on a coinflip if you want a higher potential. Presonally I like the psychic deck because of no reliance on RNG

do i play pikachu ex or zapdos ex first in the meta electric deck?
>>56891519You need to dig your mind out of the gutter.
>>56891523Depends
>>56891523Yes
>>56890774I am having a (surprising) amount of success with the deck from the pic, after a bunch of thinking and experiments with Dragonite. While we're at it, I'm looking for opinions/critique.Here are some thoughts I had about Dragonite:1) The 2 "standard" Dragonite lists seem to be the Weezing/Koga stall and the Frosmoth/Misty "stally" but more proactive version.2) I played both and disliked both. The additional failure point of being reliant on evolving a basic to even establish a stall makes the whole deck too unreliable.3) Additionally, the payoff for establishing a stall that requires an evolution is small. 20-30 damage from Weezing's poison on one of the opposing Pokemon nearly never changes the outcome of Dragonite attacks, which are the source of all your points. And Frosmoth is just a worse Weezing most of the time, since it's rarely worth to spend energy on it if Misty fizzled and both its stages are squishier.4) Solution: stall only with basics. And since you can only improve your energy economy through Misty, pick only from the Water ones. Non-ex versions of the legendary birds have the best hp/retreat cost ratio among basic pokemon at 100/1, so we go with Articuno.5) Running just the Articuno for stalling makes your stall both easier to establish and stronger by enabling you to add 2 Potions, which don't fit in the standard decklists - a single Potion can often give you an extra turn by itself.cont.
>>56890774>>568915316) The obvious downside of this approach is that Articuno serves just as a meatshield most of the time, since it requires even more energy than a Frosmoth. But in practice this works fine due to 3): you usually get all your 3 points when Dragonite comes online, and this is made easier now. In the somewhat rare event where Articuno gets all the necessary energy, he can stall even better due to paralysis (or even win the game turn 1/2 like the Ex version).7) Another downside is the fact that Articuno gets oneshot by Pikachu. But so do Koffing, Snom and Frosmoth, so in most situations this is not a change for the worse.8) And the last clear downside is the fact that scooping up a Weezing with Koga effectively heals it, so it can be reused in some slower games, providing way more effective HP than Articuno.9) I still see some room for experiments with other Water basics:- for a very proactive approach, Pyukumuku can provide surprising early game pressure with 30 damage for just 1 energy possibly received for free from Misty, but it's way less bulky (70 HP, so it dies from relatively common 80 damage attacks etc.);- Lapras is just as tanky as Articuno, but it's way easier to attack with it (again, only 1 energy). But its 20 damage will often be negligible and its retreat cost of 2 is very bad for our energy economy;- Bruxish is a middle ground alternative and opens up the somewhat interesting possibility of using it to clean up Pokemon damaged by Dragonite, but it's very "meh" otherwise: a 2 energy attack will be possible way less often than a 1 energy one in this deck and 90 HP also isn't perfect (oneshot by boosted 80 HP attacks, Starmie, etc.)
I find it interesting that people don’t like it when people concede in pocket. IRL I find it kind of disrespectful when my opponent doesn’t concede when they’re cooked. They see I have game and think ‘nah he’s gonna miss it or fuck up basic sequencing’. No, cunt, I won’t.
I have found the paypiggy to end all paypiggies
>>56891523I don't see a reason to ever use Pikachu first. It only comes out when it has 2 energy. It does a lot of damage early but can't take more than 2 hits.
>>56891542>no surge>no giohe's no whale
My starmie/lapras/articuno deck is unbeatable bros. I’m literally winning against full electric teams
>>56891537This is the one time /vp/ won't accept someone's consession.
>start turn 1>put basic>pass>turn 2 evolve, put 1 energy he needs 2 though>enemy has a 2 energy evolved onecool
>third arcanine ex>no chikapuwth
>>56890774weezkoga 4 lifealthough it suffers when faced with starmie and articuno decks (fuck 'em mistyfags and FUCK the lapras event)
>>56891543If you go second and have a stacked bench, I like to play pika ex in the active first. Saves resources and lets you swing hard as early as possible for the small cost of a little damage on pika upfront. There are times where this is not the play, but in general, it’s the go-to.
>>56891495>>56891512To those who added me, thank you, and I hope my pack no.7 smiles upon your wonder trade
When you know you're about to end someone's whole career with a Sabrina
>>56891537the only people I ever see making a fuss about someone conceding are casual players
kek sick turn 1, man.
>>56891565Fuck you
>>56891571Thats the average pikachu ex starting hand.
>>56891537It's a casual game so tournament or IRL play etiquette isn't common knowledge. When someone meets win condition when playing in a tourney or with friends it's polite to concede, absolutely. But casual players haven't experienced that to know and ultimately they want to do their play and get the visual satisfaction of winning so seeing someone concede is mildly disappointing to them.
>>56891563Also, how does this work? Do before I pull more to make sure the Sabrina pack has a chance to show up?
>>56891560That's true, Pikachu goes so fast that usually outrace your opponent. Another time I have seen Pikachu first is when you have another on the bench. You can afford to lose one Pikachu and still breeze through.
>>56891571fair and balanced
>>56891202You just hope their Misty flop
>>56891537It's literally one retard from Florida. Ignore him.
>>56891583*Do I need to wait before I pull more
>>56891571someone I played against got that exact hand and I still ended up winning with my dragonite
You koga decking muk and weezing motherfuckers are naughty
opponents who go 2nd getting to put an energy down is such bullshit, there's absolutely no benefit to going first at all

>>56891615>no benefit to going first at allStage1s that have a 1 energy attack since you can't evolve on your first turn regardless of who starts.
>>56891600>stalling with 110hp wall that can bounce is the same as playing a Blaine deck where the highest health pool is 100His Pikachu came out and 1 shot my Rapidash with Giovanni. My only hope was to top deck a Ninetails and 1 shot the Pikachu with Blaine. I did not top deck the Kurama.
>>56891495Added
I've been playing since prerelease and I've seen like a single 2 star rarity card in the wonder picks
>>56891584Yeah, the key to pika is to swing as early as you can with that 90 damage because the deck struggles hard as the opponent begins to set up. That’s why you need to have a plan early in the game for how you will conserve points while pinning the opponent if you aren’t able to rush down. Most games don’t end that easily.
>>56891635cant put energies down on turn 1 whereas whoever goes second can get a free attack off assuming they also have stage1 1 energy mons
>>56891635People would stop bitching about this if they just gave turn 1 an energy. I'm not even sure why we can't. The regular tcg allows it.
>>56891648>That’s why you need to have a plan early in the gameYeah Pika strat is to rush them down until they're so behind that they cant win. If you can't do that you lose.I think Pika Zeb is a little worse then Pika/Raichu becuase Pika decks lack consistent damage over 100
>>56891629>paid onlyit is yeah
I wonder if trading will be a >"That card is special, you can't put it up for trade!"Or >"You can only trade duplicates of this card"
>>56891664>>"You can only trade duplicates of this card"I was wondering how they might restrict it, but that unfortunately sounds like it makes the most sense logically. That's already how they limit being able to flair things. They might keep it from being exploitable by requiring you to have gotten it multiple times.
>>56891662ManIt's hard being a poor gardevoir fan
>>56891650aside from exes getting down an evo with low energy cost first is better than chipping 10/20 damage.
>>56891655>I think Pika Zeb is a little worse then Pika/Raichu I’m been leaning towards the opposite, but I haven’t really played around with raichu since getting 2 copies of zapdos ex. Blitzle/zebstrika are much better for early game tempo and setting up pins on multiple mon, but the prevalence of potion right now is a little frustrating while using them.
>>56891651They clearly took inspiration other from phone card games like heartstone, but it doesn't apply the same here.
>>56890541>Are you having fun?Yes, 9/10 game>How much money did you pump into this game already?$0
The highest roll I've had with Misty is 11. 9 filled the screen and I thought my streak would be cut there until the screen scrolled down. I wish I had a picture of that Misty screen. It happened so fast and I have a hand injury. I'll always believe in her!
>>56890797It sucks not being able to play the decks you want and I agree 45 wins is a breaking point in boredom. I took a break at like 30 then switched up the decks until 50. I prey and beg they don't make any future events require more than 45 ones. Actually, bring it down to to 40 at most.
>>56891571It's all so tiring.
>>56890797>>56891706This. You can't play the decks you want because you're missing a fucking middle evo, the EX engine or the traner engine and it's infuriating. Crafting grabs you one or 2 but not an EX. Not in a million packsIt's free tho, so that's all I'm going to complain about
>>56890863The time red card has been most effective against me is turn 1 when I lose my evos in hand. Then I have to rely in drawing them in the right order but it can set me back so much I lose. The least effective is when I don't have my evos and I get them. I swear some players see I'm stuck on unevolved basics and red card me out of pity.
Will the January expansion set be Johto or will they start shilling Kalos for Z-A?
>>56891711>he concededSo cathartic.
>do 9 pokemons>always get the same starter, and items/evos on my hand>all pokeballs are at the bottom>every other pokemon is down there as well4 matches in a row it's been like this, im really cursed

>>56891739>Lemme go check my crystal ball. No one knows dummy. The game has been out for like 200 hours.
>>56891111We need something like this as a Dragonite counter. Fuck Dragonite.
>>56891740Really weird they didn't make Brock as good as Blaine or Misty. I have even seen Surge get used but no Brock.
>>56891664>"That card is special, you can't put it up for trade!"And>"You can only trade duplicates of this card"Annnd>"You cannot trade this card unless there are two or more duplicates remaining afterwards"Annnnnnd>"The recipient has not registered this card, therefore this trade will cost an unreasonable amount of stardust"
>>56891549I threw a Hypno on mine and I’m winning even when Misty shits the bed because getting 1 turn for Water is worth its weight in gold. The risk of solo Drowzee brick sucks but it’s pretty unlikely and the upsides outweigh the benefits. Has an incredible matchup vs other Water decks too
>>56891664most likely the latter
>Water has Misty>Fire has Moltres ex>Psychic has Gardevoir>Grass has Lilligant>Fighting has... BrockWhy? Like if you feared to make it too broken just give him another effect. Right now he is shit, but now they will need to design all Onix and Golem while keeping in mind that Brock exist and there is always the risk it will make them too strong. So basically Brock will either be shit or broken with no in between.
>>56891743Its so tiresome...
>>56891775>"The recipient has not registered this card, therefore this trade will cost an unreasonable amount of stardust"Oooooooh that last one hits hard. I remember trading a million "whatever it was called" in Go because a rando wanted to trade me real quick for a region exclusive. For reference, that's like 3+ months of active play just to do one trade.
>>56891790brickcity deck...
>>56891790what language is this
>>56891766I've seen Brock literally once. My buddy had a Kabutops/Onix deck. This was right after launch, so I think it was just a placeholder for Sabrina/Gio.I know there has to be both good and bad cards in a meta, but my god Brock is so bad.

>>56891850how often does wonder pick update with friends packs?
>>56891895It's always like this, as soon as people can netdeck they do.Meme decks are so much more fun imo.
>>56890541I'm having ok fun, but I haven't played a tcg in like 7 years, and my only experience with pokemon tcg is the gbc game, so I'm overly worried about touching actual battles like a moron.About 130? All the launch packs, 2 20 packs (only spent 5 each because of coupons) and 1 big pack (coupon used there too).Yes, I am an idiot.
>>56890541Yes and it's an enjoyable part of my day opening this dumb app on breaks. $0 but I'll get the paypig pass.
What's the best ultra-poorfag deck for farming the expert Lapras? I don't have any relevent EX whatsoever and my electric selection is cheeks
>>56891946What good cards do you have? Weezing does fine against it
>>56891895Just misty bro
>>56891809>I know there has to be both good and bad cards in a metaI'm pretty surprised with how balanced the game is. Yes there are things at the top of the meta and the bottom but the drop to Brock compared to other Supporters is huge. I have hear people mention Blastoice, Machamp, or Gengar as the worst EX and even the worst EX is usable. Surge is not a good supported but it's usable. Brock is unusable and the Pokemon it targets are unusable. I can't think of another reason other than it being intentional. Maybe they didn't want to balance against Pikachu.
>>56891899If they remember Karen or phoebe exists i might. I want a dark type or ghost theme to my mat.
>>56891837this happens like 1 million times a day. give us better content.
>>56891840The game literally lists the odds and says outright, there's a 1/2000 chance to get a god pack like that on any pack.Also everyone gets one forced god pack after enough packs opened (I believe).
>>56891919It's always nice seeing shit like the Bonehead do well in tournies.
I am the only one that thinks that supporters that only work with specific pokemon are dumb? once more sets arrive those cards will dumped into irrelevancy.
>>56891970>after enough packs openedWhat's the amount then huh?
>>56891899I already spend money on this game, but I won't spend on purely cosmetic things unless it features one or both of these guys.
>>56891850If you're still here, would you mind accepting my friend request.
>>56891977but they also have the potential to be good with new cards when other versions of the mons get introduced
>>568919792000
>>56891994kek
>>56891979I kind of just assumed that because I got one early. If not then lmao, I got lucky as fuck
>>56891993hmmm, good point.
Just give me the fucking Lapras
>>56891962>I'm pretty surprised with how balanced the game isSame. They did an excellent job creating this launch set. The thing is that Brock isn't just bad as a support, he's just genuinely the worst fuckin card in the entire game. It's impressive how bad it is. Like, I can't think of a way to make it worse. I mean, imagine if Misty could only target Gyarados (it's on theme, even). She would still be okay. Like, yeah, the deck probably wouldn't win any tourneys, but Blaine decks still get into the top 8 pretty often. And only 1 of Blaine's 3 can really get good use out of it by just barely killing Pikachu.
>>56891970>Also everyone gets one forced god pack after enough packs opened>t. my grandma goes to a dog park where she met her friend Becky. Becky's grandson goes to school with another kid who's dad used to sweep the floors at Nexon and he overheard one of the devs there talking on the phone to his buddy over at Dena. Trust me, bro.
>>56892000what do boobs feel like
>Duuuuuuuude pikachu EX is OP>Meanwhile Starmie EX has more health, does just as much damage for the same energy AND doesn't have a condition of needing benched pokemon
>>56892024Depends if the girl is flat, small, medium or busty, in any case Gold is gonna get super kicked into the hospital but he will scream "WORTH IT!".
>>56891899I don't think Pocket would ever do a crossover with Mario, but yes.>>56891962Serge is fine, the issue is that Raichu discards ALL energy so you have to be careful planning.
They should make Brock have an effect where he gets rock hard and provides 2 extra energy if the opponent played a female supporter last turn. It's in character, bros.
>>56892026You forgot that Starmie has no retreat too, but also you need to keep in mind that Pikachu is a basic. Only needing one card vs two is a big difference.
>>56892030>crossover with MarioHe meant pokemon waifu, you tard.
>>56891955That's a good question. it feels like I have a healthy selection of everything except the big players in any given deck I feel like it'd be easier to list what i DON'T have>No Zards>No Mewtwo>No Weezing>No Pika>No Starmie>No venusaur>Shit all for psychic/electric in generalDo I just go in with event Mankey/rapeape and hope for the best?
>>56892040Sorry, but there is no "pokemon waifu". There is only waifu and waifu does not mean "character I fap to".
>>56892030Surge isn't the worst Supporter because Brock exists.
>>56892046Based booette chad
do you think they will add tool and stadium cards
Henceforth I pledge to never deal more than 100 damage in versus. I have been chosen for this task.
>>56892055I wish we had actual stats. I wanna know how bad I'm doing. Also knowing specific deck's win/loss would be huge for deck building.
post the mon the game just won't stop showering you with. for me it's this zebra fuck.
Chadizard deck just rules, and I don't even have a second Moltres ex. All you need is stalling until Charizard is up to 5 fire energies and then you can just wreck shit up. Have fodder like Rapidash and Moltres to switch to when they use Sabrina, two X Speeds and you win most match ups. Don't even need that much luck on coin flips.
>>56892030>the issue is that Raichu discards ALL energyNah, that’s fine. The biggest issue is that Surge wastes your support for the turn (when you really need Gio for Mewtwo knockouts) and requires you to move all lighting energy from the bench. If you got to choose the amount of energy to move (or even had it worded like “up to three lightning energy), Surge would be much better (as well as cards like Raichu, Electrode, and Magneton).Surge isn’t very good right now. I’d almost rank him lower than Brock if I didn’t think 1x Surge was decent in a Pika ex deck running Raichu as a backup nuke.
>>56892043>shit all for electricTo be fair, there kind of is shit all for a few types in general right now.Electric is carried mostly by Pika EX, Electrode, and Zapdos EX. Zebstrika is a bit of a meme, Electabuzz and Heliolisk are flip memes, Eelektross is too costly, Raichu has the whole energy dump thing, and Magneton is only useful for enabling Raichu.Pinurchin is alright, I guess.
>>56892063I'm not mad about it at all. I got my playset of the others halfway through this grind.
>>56892004give me those monkeys
>>56891899i would really think about it but i dont think the female skull grunt has many chances nor i want to see my coin wife giving me tails or i will wear my wifebeater
>>56891822surge is sexo
>>56892043You can win the Misty mirror pretty easily if you have double Articuno
>>56892043Focus on a single booster pack and eventually you'll manage to build a good deck. Don't fall for the Marowak meme, or the Articuno-Mishitsty meme. Until they add promo Jigglypuff, the only reliable deck that utilizes coin flips is Charizard, and it's because it doesn't really need good coin flips to manage (and yet it's got the best odds).
>>56892073Electrode is overrated in my opinion; it’s most useful as an extra x speed. The way I see it, you run 2x of your ex cards and choose between zebstrika of raichu. Zebstrika gives you a better turn 1 gameplan, and it can set up valuable pins when pika hits the field on turn 7 (RIP). I also like having a zeb on the bench because it can easily swap in and start swinging if needed. Raichu is valuable as a slightly fat mon that can sling 140 damage (well above your typical late game damage, otherwise). Raichu probably warrants the use of one Surge, but that isn’t always as helpful as you would hope. Pincurchin is decent and worth running. I do not like spending 2 energy on a mon, but the coin flips have bailed me out of some horrific game states in the past.
Top middle wins again :]
>4th articuno exKUSOGEEEEEEEEEE
Why do so many of you have the game in Japanese when clearly you’re native English speakers?
>>56892142I think I'm getting close to being able to switch over to a new language and just knowing what all of the cards do based off memory.
>>56892142To also have japanese cards you dumbass
>>56892142because japan is the worlds best country in the world unlike america
>>56892150They’re the same cards, you retarded autistic weeb faggot
you can have the game in Japanese? is it the region you pick or do I just download off the JP store?
>>56892154The game keeps record of which language you acquired a card in, you can have a weezing in english, a dogars in japanese and a smogmog in german
>>56892165I don’t believe you
>>56892170here nigga
>full art Misty>full art Erika>full art Blaine>still no full art Sabrina
>>56892161Just change the language in game (and restart it for card language to change)
>>56892180>SPA>FRA>GER>ITA>POR
>Decide to dump all my stuff into Charizard boosters cause I want the full art Slowpoke>30 pulls>Get several full art cards, EX cards with the gold lineart, even the three-star Charizard>Still no SlowpokeI know I should be happy but fug. Hopefully when trading gets added I can just trade these for it.
So do i say fuck it and pull gard already with pocket points or nah. My mewtwo ex deck won’t work until she comes
>>56892197get smogmog's name out of your fucking mouth
>>56892213Yeah just do it
>>56892210exact same situation as you but I wanted another Erika
>>56892210>>56892225Same but I want another Gloom.
>>56892165>smogmog in germanthat fucking Furzwolke keeps avoiding me
>>56892213Do you want to?:A) Play and enjoy the game long term.orB) Get everything you want, lose incentive to play the game, and move on with your life.
Incase anyone needs this5113350350871777

This game refuses to give me a fucking Dratini every single game
>>56892210Same, but no goldcard and i've opened probably about 70 Zard packs now. I'm about to give up, bros...
>>56892260>6 basic in the deck>only needs oneYou deserve it.
>we both have 2 pointsWhat are my odds?
>>56892210You can have one of my two when trading opens
>>5689227468.8% chance you die if you don't heal. 31.25 chance you die if you Erika or Drain+Potion.
>>56891207that looks like the pack I opened last night
>>56892142I've got most of the cards so I'm collecting the duplicates in Oshinokonese, Currywurstese, Princeharryish and Sergioperezese
Do the higher difficulties have better odds of getting a pack for the Lapras event?
>>56892288Expert is 100%
>>56892288yesonly the hardest one is a 100% tate
>>56891249When I'm away is because I'm dozing off since I should be sleeping. I apologize.
>>56892288Highest difficulty is 100% chance
There is absolutely NO fucking way that the coin toss in this game is fair. I get tails about 70% of the time and so do my opponents
>>56892288Yes
>>56892297Sounds fair to me.
>>56892297This is true but only for Missty so it's fine.
>>56892297I heard someone hear say that you could just automate the coin flip instead of doing it manually, but I don't see anything in the settings.
>>56891335added. I drew a egg ex last night but the 2 packs I just opened today weren't very good.
I still have yet to get anything from this shitass meme called Wonder PickWhy on earth do I lose three hourglasses for a Tentacool?
>>56892249sent, praying to the wonderpick gods
>>56892306It was probably some meme about waiting the 20 seconds for the coin to autoflip
>>56891408what's your id? I'm hunting for 2nd starmie but link to friend list in OP doesn't work for me
>>56891445too many pokemon
I've been playing a dragonite deck since inception that i grinded for because it's boss as fuck, and then a yesterday i pulled back to back mewtwoEX immersive arts and a gardevoir. so of course I tossed together a deck just to see how the other side lives and jesus fucking christ. It has more moving pieces than my dragonite deck, but it is infinitely more consistent. What in sweet mother fucking hell is up with this shit. Like dragonite is the 6 cards of the family and 2 kanga, the rest is whatever and sometimes it flops, it happens, i can't complain. But fucking mewtwo has consistently won every game i've played with it, in the exact same way. No variance, it's a win. What the fuck.anyways here's my stupid friend code if you want to try to wonderpick a mewtwo ex because there should be two seperate packs with them coming up4292 8828 3975 3637
>>56892297I don't remember the last time my opponent got Heads when using Misty, there's seriously something wrong with the way the first coinflip works when you flip it.
>>56891493>>56891458at least they show up in yours. When I add people from the thread their good wonder trades never show up for me
>>56892327Sent. I'd really like to score. My most recent failure was >>56892312, and the best thing I've ever gotten from Wonder Pick is a Gardevoir.
>>56892337Same. I am so close to just deleting everyone and adding alt accounts + opening packs on them and deleting if there's nothing good.
>>56892297I think all flips are predetermined by the seed generated at the start of the match.
>still not a single pokeball or prof oak by turn 10fuck this game
Anybody else being a filthy, dishonest cunt and running the Articuno + Trainers deck for the PVP event?I really can't be bothered with winning games with a normal deck. With the Articuno deck I've either won by round two on the misty coin flip or I've lost. Either way, it's over quickly.I just want that emblem for my profile.
>>56892354Hilda makes me generate some seed if you know what I mean. Do protagonists ever get Trainer supporter cards?
>>56892352best of luck to you, i'll pray to the wonder gods
>>56892361What good is the emblem, bro? If you don't enjoy playing the game, what even is the point of wasting your time grinding?
>>56892327I pulled an immersive Mewtwo ex just now and I got one from wonder picking the other day. I only have a single Gardevoir with no other members of that line but I'm going to focus on Mewtwo booster now to try to build that deck. I'm happy with my Charizard which beats Mewtwo decks 9 out of 10 times but I'd like to try something faster, more consistent, and less reliant on either stalling or coin flipping.
This was weird. I've never played every card in hand and deck.
>>56892362>Hilda Why>no tits>ass only if off model Serena or May
wonderpick hourglasses aren't worth buying, right?
how bad is rerolling in this? I just want to get a couple specific cards
>>56892381Why wouldn't you?
>>56892381You mean from the shop? I'd get them if You've already bought anything else you need with tickets
>>56892381If you have 100 whales for friends, they'd be worth it.
>>56892375and the fucked up thing is that I got the 6 cards for dragonite pretty quickly and everything naturally fell into place, its still stall/luckshit but it's relatively consistent. I've been grinding for venusaurs because i want to join the glorious venugang but no luck yet.anyways im done ranting, but i would recommend just buying singles of ralts/kirlia, i only run the 1 gardevoir and it works just fine. even the op seeing the set up for gardevoir puts them on their toes and makes them play a little sub optimally
>turn 6 million>still no metwo or pokeball drawnthis so far has been the absolute worst deck for me, I just don't draw anything. I don't draw oaks, I don't draw pokeballs, I don't draw mewtwos.fucking humiliating to just have to watch myself getting beaten to a pulp with no means of fighting back.
There should be an option to just automaticly send thanks so you dont have to press the button
>>56892403my thanks are free-range gluten-free hand-picked
>>56892403That sounds awful>switch it on>play against a Mewtwo mutt and get sacked>The game will still automatically send the thanks anyway
>>56892381you should buy everything from the refreshed monthly shop, no questions askedit's not like you don't have the tickets
>Look for match with a grass deck>Match begins>Opponent has a fire deck>still win
>>56892381soon enough that'll be the only thing left to buy for you.
>>56892361you are the reason i play electric
>>56892419>Pikikechu thinks he has any moral high ground
>>56892397I usually play my Sabs early to buy turns when I know I’m boned but vs Electric the dude probably had x speeds anyways, rough
>>56891184Depends on the deck but, if you can afford it, run only two basics. That way you get on of the starting hand any Pokéball has 2/3 chance of giving you the other one. Sabrina is a pretty universal slot-in on any deck, as is Gio, but Sabrina is more important.2 Oak, 2 Ball, 2 Sab, 2 X-Speed is already 8 cards. 2 Erika for grass/2 Potion for other decks makes half of it already supporters. Organize the other half as you wish.
>>56892438>Sabrina is a pretty universal slot-in on any deckIt's going to stay that way for a long time, isn't itThe only ways I could think of to even powercreep that would be "you choose who comes in" or "detach energy from the opponent's active Pokemon as though they had chosen to retreat"
>>56892361I did it for wins 25 to 50 because lazyThere's a time and place for everything>PVPArticuno>5 Ticketsblaine / fun deck / instant forfeit>Tournaments / XP grindingactual top tier autism
>>56891445The pokemon count is fine but you should just use kangaskhan instead of lapras if you have it.
I have two of these and I don't have the stamina to roll, but I'm tempted use hourglasses for tradefodder. Do we have datamines on when trades will be up?
>>56892378Welcome to grass.
>>56891349So, for a serious answer, people in your friend list will show up in your wonder pick options so whenever someone here gets a really good pack they're asked to drop their FC so others can have a chance to WP that pack for cards they're chasing.
>>56892455Tomorrow
>>56892455It's already out, bro. Where have you been?
>still not pulled a god packFELLOW PAYPIGS, RISE UP
>>56891479I went the entire event with my main Venu/Lilli deck.
>>56892361I should try that
>>56891542>not putting the gym leaders in game orderDisgusting.
>>56892468Same. Now that you say that, though, I've never played against another Venuchad. Huh.
Are rental decks limited? What's the point of these
___ _____ __ ______ _____
>>56892498ay pendejo
>bottom rightYou aren't actually choosing anyway
>>56891479I’m at 29 wins with an 85% win rate using a pikachu deck. Wound up going so deep for the zapdos ex copies that I can’t really run anything other than pika variations. I should have a few meme decks ready soon, but my luck hasn’t been great outside of pulling several illustration rare pikachu. I think I may have a couple of meme decks ready soon.
I really like card games in this primitive state, in which more or less half of the deck is staples, the meta is "solved" as in there are a couple decks that have slightly more consistency than others, but still have clear counters, and aren't too far from tier 2 decks that can easily steal wins from them, and rogue/meme decks can actually put up a decent fight. Reminds me of ygo's goat format.Next set is probably going to ruin everything, isn't it?
>>56892486It's not super fun because, barring some bad bricking, the match is decided at the turn coinflip. Being one energy ahead in this mirror means you get your engine up earlier and accelerate the boss card faster.
>>56892497So you can test how each deck plays while also being able to do some of the solo events. You get more resources and find out where you want to spend your pulls to get the decks you liked the best.
>See Victreebel and Persian in WP>2 rares I don’t have and might not for a while since I’m dumping packs on Pika>Get impulse to do bottom left instead of usual bottom right Ayyyy. Might make a deck with him but I don’t even remember if I’ve got Weepinbell
>>56892313>>56892249how do i get a pokegf like this
Women don't play this game
>>56892539>Mewtwo gets Lugia EX as its own Zapdos>Suicune EX has unlimited energy damage ramp on Hydro Pump>Ho-Oh EX lets you revive a mon as it left the field when Ho-Oh itself enters play >Scizor EX/Exeggutor EX cancer where it has a 2E 100, 1 RC and auto conversion of its own energies to Steel upon evolution Nah it’ll be fine
>>56892563Stop buying packs and start buying a gf
>>56892539I don't really care about which decks are meta or not, so for me personally I want my bros in the game and don't really care if they're broken or whatever, as long as they're not complete dogshit.
>>56892513I have become a skipGOD.
>>56892591same
>>56892539I keep saying it and nobody listens but time will prove me right. The state the meta is in right now is the best it will ever be. It's all downhill from here.
>opponent concedes before the first turnT-th-thanks...
>>56892603The pity lmao
>>56892603He went first and his deck never wins if he goes first.
Does losing a match in thelapras event waste stamina
>>56892513Unironically what is the point of this screen. I know the intention is to add the feeling of further agency even though it doesn't exist, but why? Most gacha or digital TCGs don't have an equivalent to this as far as I'm aware
>>56892610Nah
>>56892606Nope. I went first and my hand was shit. Guess his hand was worse than mine.
>>56892603>get Mewtwo and a Ralts out at match start>get other Mewtwo and Ralts out on turn 1>opponent starts their turn>immediately concedes because they got a single basic probablykek
>>56892600I feel like that's most card games. I liked the League card game a fuckton at launch and even a bunch of patches after it, but it became pretty bad later on. Maybe the downward slide won't happen until after a couple of sets down the line, but card games just seem destined to get worse past a certain point after launch.
>>56892610No just retry for a better hand
>>56892615Immersion? It’s supposed to make it fun, like picking out a pack at the store as a kid. The whole thing is one big attempt at creating a nostalgia trip which is why there’s a collection element and trading. If they wanted to make a straight gacha we’d be fighting whales with Pikachu GX that have a damage and hp boost and can only be obtained after exchanging 5 copies and billions of levelup materials
I hope they will add a tourney mode in the future so "we" can have our own tourney
>>56892600People hate Pika because it’s centralizing and obviously very reliable and good but I’ve never felt like I didn’t have a shot to beat it. It’s also keeping shit like Misty and Zard out of the limelight which I’ll always take
>>56892619browhen we start getting more waifu cards and playmats like this, people are gonna be whalin' hard
>>56892054Yes. It’s possible to put a Pokémon card onto an invisible slot just to the left of your active slot. I’d bet my left but that that’s where stadium cards are going to go
>>56892636>If they wanted to make a straight gachaAnon? This is a gacha game.
>>56892568Incorrect. I know a woman (female) who plays this game.
>>56892641>I’ve never felt like I didn’t have a shot to beat itPika is kind of a meme, at least when we’re talking about “meta = free wins” comments. Good pika decks and players are more flexible than any other deck right now, and pika’s low health + mediocre mid/late game damage make the ex just a little bit of a liability as the game goes on. I think pika matches are often exciting for these reasons.Compare this to mewtwo decks where the game state is much more rigid. I don’t find that to be as compelling, personally, and while I’m on the subject, I find it odd how often people are downplaying mewtwo ex.
>>56892312I've gotten motres ex, starmie ex2 Pikachu exat least 1 rapidash FA1 Weezing, maybe it was the FAomastar raichukangashkan GrimerMight have gotten a Sabrina or misty too. Looking for another starmie ex, gio, and brock next
Ten packs or single packs?Which is better?
>>56892674when I was rerolling on launch I felt my general luck was better on singles, but I was mostly getting rare packs and crowns on ten packs
>>56892674Single, if you pull what you want you can switch to a different pack
>>56892674single by far. I opened 2 10 packs and got nothing. Now that I'm only opening bent packs and backwards I'm getting much better cards. >in before I have proof that packs are predetermined.
>>56892662Mewtwo is such a boring deck. Either you get the gardevoir or you don't. Charizard goes over you, Pikachu goes under you. People refuse to play cards other than Mewtwo or Gardevoir because the deck has no staying power on a low roll. I hesitate to even call the deck midrange because it's not like you even have any resources to burn, you just cross your fingers and hope you get the "I win" card. It's less midrange and more "fast control".
>>56892615illusion of choice

I must be the only one running Gengar

>>56892707The supporters are already nuts. People would absolutely run gengar if it was easier to get out.

>>56892715Yes exactly. Thanks for repeating what I just said you fucking retard.
>>56892712No they can be better

>>56892726Sure, but the point is that gengar is going to suck until it is easier to get it on the field. People are more likely to run psyduck than gengar.

>>56892730Privacy, maybe you don't want your child to get a thanks for their wonder pick from an account named "kid rapist"
>>56892757Honestly all I want is open myriad packs so I can have a full collection, of course with some cards (like immersive Pika) being a priority for me. That said, I'm not putting money into this game, so it's a slow death of wanting new cards and being drip fed.

The poison deck isn't bad, but I fucking never get Muk off, ever. If I start with Grimer then he just dies before I get Muk and if I try to get Muk out earlier, the only way to use Muks bonus anymore is Weezing and Ive never had it work out that way, most common reason being because I dont even draw Muk in the first place.
