>>56905299Nothing wrong with playing meta decks. Good cards are good for a reason
Murder Staryus in front of their families
>96/100 commons>60/69 uncommons>20/42 rares>7/15 ex pokemon>183/226 totalHas anyone does the math to see if it's even possible to complete the base 226-card set as a f2p player? I've been only cracking the packs I'm missing the most cards from and only wonder picking when I need 2 out of the 5 cards, but now I'm pretty doubtful it's doable without paying. I wish you could "dust" your star cards to get more Pack Points. I just want a full base set and more playsets of playable cards.

>>56905451Yes.Stage 2 ex decks are fine in my book.
>>56905450Why is Pika in there
>>56905455Play TCG player pool, all the Metatards are in Beginner and Event
>>56905472I'm too poor for pika exI should have put gardevoir in the middle now that I think of it

>>56905499Kek yeah this looks much betterAny ideas for good pokemon for binder shit posting? I'm getting more attached to these the more I do kek
>>56905503Now you do literally nothing until Nov 22 for a Fire-type event/Black Fridayand Nov 29 for the Venausaur version of the current Lapras event.
>>56905503Lord it over the jobbers
I just realized the hourglasses in the shop are buyable in packs of ten. I need to hurry up and get more trans pride tickets if I want to clean up the monthly load before it goes away. I'm still kind of new, so I'm not sure how I get more of them aside from>daily shop gift (1 Ticket)>receiving 5 Thanks a day (5 Tickets a day)
How do you change decks for pvp? All it shows is the default deck and not the ones I made.
>>56905533Click the picture of your current deck
>>56905535Ahh, thanks.
>>56905527did you clear every single solo battles for the rewards?
>>56905527Doing the solo events and leveling upSince you’re new you’ll get plenty don’t worry
>>56905325Niggler
Do you think they'll add GX Pokemon?Basically super OP cards, but beating it is insta-lose.
>>56905564I think so, I also think we'll make our way to all the new shit like tag team, gold cards and vits also boring if we're just stuck with ex cards for the whole time
>>56905503Milk the Lapras event for shop tickets and promo cards. Keep a couple of event tickets you get from bonus picks at the ready to quickly refresh event stamina to max when the new event kicks in, we don't know yet if they reset or no. Win a couple of games every day to level up.
https://x.com/PokemonTCGP/status/1856819952713453683Brand new info tweeted out>New booster packs before 2025>Trading to be added in January 2025>Trading won't be available for all cards immediately, selection will be gradually expanded>Other new features besides that are also coming, more details in the future
>>56905455I dunno, they're not consistent but there's some funny rng decks to run. using aerodactyl to put EX charizard with 6 energy back in their hand is pretty funny. I ran a double hypno golurk deck and when I ran into another hypno player we almost timed out becuase neither of us could wake up without getting put back to sleep.
>>56905503win 5 more
>>56905605>>Trading won't be available for all cards immediatelyThat's stupid
>>56905516Are those events confirmed? I could use venusaur to flesh out my meme healing team of EX venusaur and butterfree with potions and Erika.
>>56905549If I remember correctly, those also earn hourglasses, which I'm reluctant to earn too many of right now because we don't know what the hourglass cap is and I've been saving mine for when they release some of my favorite Pokémon.
>>56905527Do all of the solo battles and as many of the missions there for it.
My luck against Misty ran out, bros...

Anyone know if the game's assists have been ripped and if there are high quality PNGs of all the card art?
Don't talk to me or the cards I have the most duplicates of ever again

>>56905527I think you also get tickets when people like your card display, don't know if it has a daily cap or how it works though.
>>56905677Humans canonically are part of the Field and water1 groups however
>>56905661I wish I could find that cute comic of a grimer taking care of a kirlia
>>56905694Proof?
>>56905615Better for this game. I have nine accounts and farming booster/cards to trade all to my main account
These new animations are amazing!
>>56905702yeesh
>>56905694Gards are Human-like/Amorphous no??
>>56905704>Opening from right to leftHold on, you could do that? What the fu->The animationGot me to laugh.

>>56905704mods
>>56905704none of these are funny
I'm going insane trying to use Marowak for the solo expert missions.
>>56905694>human men canonically enjoy Laprussy and OctillerussyIt checks out.
>>56905605I hope they know that the next pack release makes or breaks this game, break out the new set freebies
I just wonder picked Kangaskhan and now I believe I have collected all the WOTC era art currently available. Am I missing anything?
>>56905742Just put your faith in the coin. It's not hard.
>>56905314You can beat anybody if you hit head and lose to anybody if you get tails I can't believe people are spending money on a coin toss simulator.
If I got Mewtwo should I use my points on Gard?Also is there a timer for how long a pack will be in for?
>>56905675That ain't the question You gotta be asking how tight it is for big man Nidoking to come back to it every day
>>56905795>If I got Mewtwo should I use my points on Gard?if you're not saving up for anything else sure. he really wants her on his team>Also is there a timer for how long a pack will be in for?For now, no.
EOS came sooner than expected
>>56905605I'm hoping trading will be limited for new sets and not based on rarity. Not much point to trading if you can't get the EX card you need to complete your deck. >>56905634>run into two different metal deck players>cuck them with sabrinayour better off without them, that deck is ass
>>56905795If you have two Mewtwo EXs then yeah get Gardevoir. We have no idea how long the Genetic Apex packs will be around for but it's reasonable to believe they will still be in the game well into the future even after a couple of other sets are added
>vs Dragonite stall deckOh boy>Hypno's skillHEADS>Sleep checkHEADS>Hypno's skillHEADS>Sleep checkHEADS>Hypno's skillHEADS>Sleep checkHEADS>Opponent surrendersSuch a fun game of chance, am i right guys?
>>56905808>some cards can't be traded right away, but can be after a time I guess it makes sense? If you want to trade just for your collection, all you have to do is be patient. But if you want meta shit, you need to either pull it yourself or pay up, or else just wait for later, when it will presumably have fallen out of the meta. Honestly, if that's their angle? Not bad.
>>56905668I don't think any of the base pokemon outperfom their EX versions but EX starmie is especially cracked. Solid 130hp, free switch out, only two energy and one evo to start doing 90 damage. You can even bump it to 100 with giovanni because you don't need misty to give it energy. EX starmie+EX articuno is a top 5, maybe top 3 deck.
>>56905830Never going to bother with the PvP in this game again anyway.
>>56905830Fuck metafags. Collectorfags win again.
>>56905817hypno would probably work alright for a dragonite stall deck. But I've seen some people run dragonite+greninja and I'm guessing shit like this is why>>56905845mad cuz bad. You don't need a hyper optimal deck to win, I'm doing alright with blastoise.
>>56905857metafags will get the cards they want before you do lol
>>56905866???
>choosing a booster decides your startOkay>choosing charizard gives you a full art charmanderMakes sense>which is useless in the grass starter deck we're giving youWat
Ok hear me out HEAR ME OUT>turbo healing Venusaur
>>56905863It does, if your opponent doesn't pass the casual filter.
We did it reddit
>>56905871metafags already won before collection fags had the chance to install the game
>>56905881Normal Venusaur ain't that bad, it's just that Venu EX fills the same niche but better.
>>56905881solid deck if you don't have the cards to run EX execcutor or lilligant
>>56905881this has existed the entire time friend, albeit usually with venu EX since it has more HP. The real spicy tech is turbo heal Lapras
>>56905886>Flegmon>Scheifvertrimmergerman is such a funny language
>>56905752These are all the WotC cards in Pocket. If you mean pre-Team Rocket you're missing Sandshrew, Gastly, and Abra.
>>56905808So probably like 1 or 2 expansion moratorium until cards you want can be traded. I like it.
>>56905704Holy fucking kek
Remember to like your friends displays every day, I need the tickets badly.
>>56905817I won on a tail whip coin flip from Vulpix to cheat a turn and get extra energy to win with CharzardFrom this moment i knew...
>>56905831Articuno, Venasaur, Eggecutor, Arcanine, Zapdos, Lapras, Bastoise, Pikachu(evolves into raichu), Machamp, These all seem decent compared to their ex. I know the Ex has more health and damage but the non ex can die twice to give same amount of points. I think a lot of people are underestimating just how much you can pull off with 3 lives to give vs only losing 2.
>>56905863I got my 45 wins. It's simply not fun.
>>56905817Sounds like a skill issue
>>56905916Thank you for this! I didn't recognize the art of a lot of these as being from that era. I still need to get Exeggutor then to have the complete set. Funny enough, he was in the wonder pick I got Kangaskhan from
>>56905928Still need five more
>redcard presumably misty on 2nd turn>opponent concedeswhy are japs like this? I thought they never surrendered?
>>56905915truly
>>56905926People tweak out about ex not trading properly with one shitter pokemon, but it's meant to be equal to two basic pokemon if you trade one and a half pokemon, you're already up pointsJust don't make bad decks plebs
>>56905704WTF is this real?
Draw your last pathetic card, so I can end this duel, /ppg/
>>56905931? Read it again, flipping heads means that my poke woke up immediately, rendering his attempts futile. >>56905924I too noticed, and now can't unsee
>>56905954Mistykeks have no conviction, similar to Dragonitetards and other Las Vegas gamblers.
>>56905926I've only used articuno as a meat shield because 3 energy for a 60 damage attack is painfully low. Eggxecutor is fine but doesn't work to early sweep nearly as hard as EX. Normal arcanine is kind of not worth it because it takes the same self damage without the added hp for survivability and lower damage. Zapdos is also kind of expensive for something that damages your back line, not nearly as good as EX. Machamp is okay ish. I'll give you normal blastoise since double misty can still ensure you hit hard regardless. Raichu needs a lot of setup since you lose 3 energy on every attack, while ex pikachu get going turn 2 for almost as much damage per attack and not needing to waste 6 cards to keep refilling him. You can absolutely run a deck with the normal versions but they're generally just less efficient at doing what the EX versions do.
>>56905960My paypiggy deck has no pathetic cards, Anon! I play Gardevoir, The Charging One!
I know I shouldn't pick for full arts but how could I resist?
>>56905956Yes, I never thought much about it, but with my koga deck I'm constantly setting up positions to invite my opponents to kill my active with their ex so I can revenge kill. They give up 2. I lose 1 prize.
>>56905982what are you talking aboutyou ALWAYS pick for full art despite it being a crappy card
>>56905967You seem to have completely missed my point.
>>56905982Nice grab but for me Blaine is the rare card that the game refuses to give me
i got 2 moltres ex and 2 mewtwo ex, is a moltres deck good or should i just join the horde of mewtwo+gardevoir nerds on ladder
How do I know when I already got all of the cards from one of the card bag thingies?
WHY DID EVERYONE RED CARD ME TODAY
Should I swap out the Lapras EX for my new Articuno EX?
>>56905971Mew(2) dek. is f2p, cease your lie-spreading >B-but 'Voir is rare-Lucklet issue, DONE.
>>56906013yes, articuno is better
>>56906007by checking carefully
>>56906004You'll want two Charizard EX to pair with Moltres for the best case scenario but you can make other decks work too without Char
>>56906013absolutely, you get to attack sooner with the added bonus of putting pressure on their bench with blizzard.
>two immersive Charizard ex>full art Erika>full art Blaine>still no full art SabrinaAAAAHHHHH
>>56906007in your card collection, toggle the toggle thing then press search and scroll down to select the specific pack
>>56905987Do you happen to play/previously played yugioh? I find that we tend to catch onto the fact that prizes are a resource to be used since we're so used to it with LP.

>>56905955I saved this pic from a thread on this board almost 10 years ago and now I finally understand why.
>>56905921I do, multiple times throughout the day when different friends are online
>>56906025>dont have a single immersive or full art trainer
For me, it's this. I love how clutch a 1 energy beat stick is, my grass deck with this an EX Venasaur has been putting in work
>>56906044based as fuck exegGODtor
>>56905926Most of the alternate forms don't compare favorably, because they're just the same pokemon but weaker. You would never want to invest 3 energy and 3 cards into a regular Machamp, even if it costs 1 fewer prize. What are you building up behind it that would have been strong enough to make up for it? Another Machamp?The other issue is that ex pokemon don't have 2 lives, they have 4 lives. They're designed to be about twice as strong as a regular pokemon, so killing 2 of them is like killing 4 regular ones.>>56905956There are definitely non-ex cards that trade well with ex Pokemon, but ex-based decks wouldn't be dominating the metagame if it was as easy as "build your deck better".
>372 repeat cards
>>56906044love this chud
>>56906028I was a no Lapras anon and I finally pulled my first on pack #31, then got my second on pack #33. Don't give up
>>56906051whale harder kek
>>56905605>>56905808My guess is that only 1◆ to 4◆ cards can be traded, that means every pokemon can be traded except for alternative art cards, which is fine.
>>56906026Thank you.I am missing 40 cards from the pikachu deck.
>>56905915Vertrimmer is an obscure word choice. I actually had to look up what it means>>56905955I will not accept any slander of the name Schiggy. It is one of the best pokemon names
>>56906058Huh. I just noticed a weird visual glitch in my screenshot where the quantities of the cards above stayed in place as I scrolled down
>>56906060>tfw F2P
>>56905881>2 stage 2 lineThis deck will brick so often, you will be able to build the wall at the Mexican frontier with it.
>>56906028Skill issue. Try beating the hardest difficulty.
>>56906085Well logically he'll find at least one of his stage 2 lines twice as often as e.g. Mewtwo will find the full gardevoir line. Putting in two stage 2 lines isn't more bricky than one stage 2 line, it's just more bricky than e.g. a stage 2 and a basic.
>>56906028>cant trade for lapras ex laterohnonono bricked!!
wonder picking is NOT fun. there should be a pity system where you get a guaranteed pick after a certain amount of time
>>56906087i've done it 15 times now my guy, i do it twice a day ezpz but alas no laprasi reckon if I don't get any by the 17th i'll just throw out my event hourglasses instead of saving them up because I know my f2p ass would feel bad if i didn't get the laprasor surely there will be other chances to get a laprasEX
>>56906099spoken like a true bottom lefter..
>>56906027Way back in the olden days. When black luster soldier of the end was a thing. Also played Hearthstone for a few years. Would regularly climb to rank 5 or under without trying.
>>56906096jokes on you, i've already made a binder labeled trades with everything I don't want in there
>>56906099I kinda think the game does pity you over time. The act of picking is just an illusion anyways. You getting the thing you want is the game putting you, and when you're persistent enough you do get what you want in this game, whether it's through wonder picks or pack points
>>56906100If you don't get one at around 30 packs be worried
>>56906078at that point just make another account and hope your reroll for something good. I made second account and immediately got a full EX charizard+EX moltres team.
>>56906099Just save for stuff that has the most value. I target pulls containing multiple rare cards that I need / want in order to maximize the chance of success for the same cost. Pick the same card position every time (assuming it isn’t a lie), and the game will pay out eventually. Go into it expecting failure. Enjoy the successes you have.
>>56906099>needing a pity system for wonderpickingthe game gives you a free 1/5 chance for whatever EX or full art you want, just be patient and eventually you'll get the cards you want in your wonder picks. That or just wait for one to show up that has two or more cards with rolling on.
>>56906124Already at level 18 but it doesn't hurt I guess
>>56906027Not him but the guy he replied to, but yeah I did play yugioh before pokemon, but after hearthstone and mtgIt's easier to catch on the better you are and the more variety you play in general I think
>>56906124>good>'zard dek.No one tell him
>>56906139I'm using an emulator for the alt so I can play with both my charizard and my dragon team, no need to drop your first account. Hopefully when they add in trading next year we can swap all the good shit from our alt accounts to the main
>>56906143in the other thread someone posted a website with aggregated tourney results and I'm pretty sure Charizard+Moltres is a top 3 deck.
>>56906143Take the Karen pill. It's not about just using the most meta mons
>>56906143The game doesn't force you to grind a ladder anon , you aren't forced to play the T0 meta deck.
>>56906049>ex-based decks wouldn't be dominating the metagame if it was as easy as "build your deck better".Shut the fuck up about metagame. This game is a week old. Every other day someone's making top 8 with a deck everyone thought was trash.>Arcanine Ex>Machamp Exetc I'm tired of you retard niggers not being able to have a critical thought and only being able to respond by saying>but look at the tournament results/metametas change and can also be exploited. retard
>>56905808>certain cards to be traded So you either >need to have had the card sitting on your account for a certain amount of time>have to be trading a card that's between 1 Diamond to 1 StarI imagine it's possible that you won't be able to trade away 2 Stars, 3 Stars, and Crowns, or if they do allow that, they probably won't allow those to be traded until Summer 2025. I really wish they weren't being vague about it.
>>56906099you are picking from different spots aren't you? if you keep picking from the spot you'll eventually get handed things.
>>56906151Was thinking of doing that just hope trading isnt to expensive
I just started the game and did 15 or so pulls on the pikachu banner and I got a water/grass/fire/electric/fighter functional decks.I won against a japanese guy on the competitive thingy, he had a shining articuno and I used a fish that does 10 damage then scales to +50 damage to a damaged enemy and made him consneed.
>>56906151what emulator are you using
>>56906196>conceding to bruxishhe should have just stacked energy without attacking, skill issue.
>>56906196let's put this on the fridge!
>there's something shiny at the back of the pack:O>it's gengar ex:|
>>56906202Bluestacks. fyi, there's a setting in the emulator to turn ads off, I thought it was mandatory at first.
>>56906205Bruxish needs the opponent to be damaged, not itself. You're thinking of Primeape.
>>56906209it's gonna be good when we get more trainers, i swear!
>>56906174Finally, someone who has played a fucking card game. I’ve lived through T0 metas before. Pocket isn’t that. This isn’t even the toughest launch meta I’ve experienced.
>>56906165>>56906159>>56906158Yeah, i'm just messingEarly 'tres into a 5+ energy 'zard is nothing to laugh at, especially if you're good at flips
>>56906229you are mewtwo fag aren't you? let's battle later. going to run and get water first. I've played a bit of card games but I've also played all kinds of other pvp and there's always people who just copy the cookie cutter thing without even understanding what makes it strong or what it's weak against.
>>56906191You would have failed the probability portion of a statistics and probabilities math exam
>>56906226This but unironically
Downsides of rerolling right now?
Is it me or do people in ladder have it out for the rat?
>>56906174>ex>exproving his point
>opponent opens with:>all mewtwo cosmetics>immersive pika>golden pika>fullart zapdos>later adds rainbow border zapdosso it's one of those fucking daysstill beat his ass, since he bet on the fucking bird getting 3 heads
>>56906229These peasents have never seen what a truly broken deck looks like. All things considered pocket is pretty decently balanced. Though given how basic and quick the game plays right now in it's simplified state that could easily change. They may need to up the prize count to 4 in the near future because natural powercreep is going to make 3 prizes disappear very fast.
>>56906261Do you have more than one Gmail? Just make another account and spend an hour or two grinding out 3 ten pulls, and then if you like it, keep the account, but if you don't like it, just keep that account on the side and trade anything you like to your main.
>>56906261Just events stuff you missed out on I guess, nothing really special
Just did two back to back battles with abysmally awful opening hands holy shit
>>56906289Anyone who thinks Pikachu is overpowered is instantly telling on themselves like the people who think Landorus-Therian is broken do. Of course it’s centralizing and variety is fun, but it’s very beatable.
I need friends please respond8051101672186277
Slowpoke is overpowered. I have never beaten a single Slowpoke deck.
>>56906312two battles with incredibly good hands are in your future
>>56906049Basic ex decks like mew or pika are unironically easier to build and more consistent than decks that need multiple stage ones or 2 together, so that's why they dominateIf you want to play off meta and win you need to make sure the consistency and strength you're lacking is made up in synergy and deck building, and most people that complain about exs and want to be cool and offmeta don't have the deck building chops or the collection to be able to do that well
>>56905605these fucking goddamn greedy bastards 100% already have the trading system ready they probably just want to only allow 3+ month old cards to be tradedfucking JEWS

So is there any benefit to saving them or is the only purpose of these emblem tickets to get those 3 emblems in the shop?
I've found running a no-EX pokemon deck way stronger, as you don't have this big glaring weakness in your team. I haven't tried wheezing or melmetal yet, but my boy machamp ft. Primape has gotten me a positive win rate against Pikachu and surprisingly Mewtwo.
>>56906384There will be other emblems in the future, no need to spend if you don't really like any of 'em
>>56906357>least let you buy the default support cards. They do?
>>56906407>wish they wouldyou can only buy oak and the item cards in the shop right now.
>>56906415Anon, go to the pack banner and press the bottom right icon to use Pack Point
You guys buy wonder HG's?
>>56906425nah I don't wanna waste crafting points on a basic card when I can save for EX cards. I'll get it eventually and the item and support cards I have now are good enough that I don't need both sabrinas
>Got my second copy of Articuno EX through a wonder pick todayBased.It's even the full art version so now I have both versions of him.4 stam well spent!Bottom right wins again!
>>56906415>you can only buy oak and the item cards in the shop right now.Are you dumb?
I wish the game had an error message to tell you that someone's friend list is full. I don't like declining friend requests or leaving them unanswered.
>>56905299Informative!
>>56905314Indeed.*screeches malevolently*
>>56906436>1 support card costs 70PP or 1 Wonder Stamina>EX costs 500PP or 3 Wonder Stamina>actually waiting nearly 2 months to craft a EXGotta learn to manage your resource
anyone else scream TAILS when the opponent flips a coin
>>56906443My friend's list isn't full. However, I I do not accept scrubs who do not have the pvp badge.
Dear lord I'm having fun in this baby's game for babies.
What's the point of getting more than 1 copy of a card apart from deck building? Are you supposed to exchange excess copies for points or something? I have two of this art lapras
>>56906454No but I do counter flip their coin
>>56906461simple; gleam.
>>56906461you can use up to two of a card in your deck, which is pretty normal and meta. After that you can exchange excess cards for flairs to make your cards shiny or have visual effects. You can then apply those flairs in the deck building menu.
>>56906461The only thing you can use the dupes in excess of 2 for is sparklies on the card, but I would hold out on that. There is in game trading happening in January. They're gonna enable the cards for trade in waves, but I'm just gonna hold of on any flairs in favor of using them for trade fodder.
>>56906461If you don't care for the flairs, hold them for the announcement of the trading system, it they allow full arts to be traded then that's good stuff to have (I suspect they will allow you to only trade from previous sets once new ones come out)
>>56906174>>56906229>>56906246>>56906289>>56906314You guys have gone off on one hell of a masturbatory tangent when what I said was>There are definitely non-ex cards that trade well with ex Pokemon, but ex-based decks wouldn't be dominating the metagame if it was as easy as "build your deck better".i.e. 1. Yes, there are cards that beat ex cards2. No, it's clearly not an easy thing to find and implement them, or people would have already done it
>>56905857I'm not a metafag but I have two accounts I want to merge them. I also want to trade for cards I'm missing. Metafags are paypigs and they have all the cards, I don't get why everyone has to suffer when they're fine.
So let me get this straight>Every pack has 5 cards>3 cards are ALWAYS Common 1 Diamond cards>2 cards can be anything from 2 Diamond or higher, with one of those pulls being slightly higher odds of being something rarer>these can appear in any order when a pack is openedIs this correct?
>there are flairless in this thread right now
>>56906026Im doing that rn, and i dont see the fullart trainers as missing cards, despite having at least fullart sabrina wishlisted
I really wish I had Starmie, bros
>>56906496explain what a God pack is
>>56906497..and? I just want my muk, victreebel and funny coinflip cards, man.
>>56906496Seems like it and it sucks.
>>56906497I could not give a flying fuck about a bunch of barely noticeable sparkles
>>56906497>falling for the flair jewYeah I'd rather not delete my cards just for some shitty sparkles when I could use them to trade for more cards
>>56906520you have to unlock the sparkle flair first before you unlock the better flairs to attach to cards
>>56906497My one flair'd potion is very cool
>his Sabrina doesn't have the heart flair
>You're going first
>>56906497>how I feel having a flair on BOTH my pokeball cards
>>56906524Oh. Well that's stupid. How is anyone supposed to know that? My first impression was that it looked lame and gay so why would I even bother?
Did somebody call the pest control service? Ratta eradicated on turn 3.
>>56906540I ain't made of money
>>56906442>he doesn't understand what the shop is compared to crafting
>>56906561there's a lot of issues with the menus in the game. You have to go to the deck building menu to even apply the flairs which is annoying.
>>56906553>AIEEEEEE NO CHADTLE DON'T BREAK MY HYMEN! SABRINA AND MOLTRESS AND X SPEED SAVE MEEEEEEEEEE
>>56906496Mostly correct, except for 'Rare Packs' if you scroll down on the offering rates you will see the card probabilities for these packs (which make up 0.05 percent of packs opened, so 1 in 2000 packs opened can be a 'Rare Pack').Rare Pack odds are:>5 Cards>ALL 5 Cards are GUARANTEED to be Crown or Gold Star raresThese are what the 'God Packs' people sometimes post are.But yes, you are correct for normal packs.
>>56906562The blaine-torch is such a trusty tool as far as budget decks go

>>56906630IK this is probably a continuation of a joke, but if you need to deal with colourless pokemon if they're rampant, you could slot mienshao into the deck.
>>56906604Got a Vulpix from wonder and bought the Ninetales. It was worth it.
>>56906595Have you tried using less coin flip pokemon, ADHDbro
I wish wonder picks didn't exist. All they do is make me upset.
>>56906661My Articuno EX deck is only functional because of wonder picks.>Got Starmie EX through wonder pick>Got second Articuno EX through wonder pickSo I gotta say nah chief, wonder picks are based.
>>56906661ngl I'd be fine with it if it didn't fucking show me where the other cards were.
>>56906630I've come to the conclusion that Butterfree is shit. 60 damage for 3 energy is way too little, 120 HP is way too little, it's all too little. Genuinely might switch to Parasect or Pinsir.
>>56906604I had to craft 1 Blaine. Got 30-ish wins off the PvP event. Worth it
So what's the point of Red Card? I understand that hand disruption (when they have it) is good, and I understand that theoretically Red Card is a good button to press if they have more than 3 cards....but in reality, if they have more than 3 cards in their hand, it's probably all duds. I say this, because it happens to me so often. I think every single time that I've been Red Carded, I have drawn into a better 3 cards than the 5 cards I initially had. The times where the Red Card was actually a good play by them (i.e. I had the nuts), I have invariably drawn back into the nuts with the 3 cards. Like, Red Card should be good, it should be, but it isn't. The only way to play a good Red Card is to Scope it first, but if you're playing both Scope and Red Card, then you're a retard, and you have to hope that they don't immediately draw back into Gardevoir or whatever. Seems totally and completely useless. Should be good, but isn't. In a 15 card deck, the odds of drawing back into what you need with 3 cards is just way too good, and that's if you have the read in the first place.
Not having the right supporters is so damning. I'm level 13 and still don't have koga or misty.
>>56906683hm.. y'know, when you put it like that.. yeah, it makes sense. but idk what I'd put in it's slot. y'know?
>>56906683It's extremely situational. Debatably it's the strongest card in the game because it's the only card that can defeat luck of the draw. Practically, it's the worst card in the game and any time it wins you the game you just got lucky.
>>56906683It's disruptive on decks with lots of stage 2
>>56906450Holy crap Rhinoceroach, it's been a minute. How has Forestcraft been?
>>56906669It does feel like it's rubbing it in a bit.
>>56906683this card fucks me as a dragonite playeralso dragonite fucking sucks and i cannot stop pulling pidgeot full art(?), I have like 8, and still barely any ex's periodmy game is fucking broken
>>56906683Red card is gimped since everyone is playing such strong basic exs or stage 1s, it wants to disrupt evo strategies but those aren't prevalent
So what happens when I get dupes beyond flair?
>>56906726save for trading retard
>>56906683it's not amazing, but it's a pretty decent diceroll when your opponent has 5+ cards and you flush all their support. Mathmatically, if your opponent is sitting on however many cards and you force them back to three, it's very likely you stole some key item or support cards that might have saved them on later turns.>it's probably all dudsif they keep pulling cards they aren't playing, they might be sitting on secondary and tertiarty evolution cards they need for their win con that they can't play without the first card. it's absolutely worth pulling a redcard to make your opponent have to deck search for their gardevoir/charizard/support card/whatever. If you think you know what kind of deck they're running and suspect they're sitting on those later evo/support cards, redcard lets you fuck up their hand. Right now I'm only using it in one of my decks because I have a free slot, but I don't think it's bad without scope.
>>56906063Fuck that I have 7 Alt Art Snorlax let me trade them
>>56906661I got 1 Pikachu EX, 1 Zapdos EX, and 2 Mewtwo EXs all from wonder trade. What you should really be wishing for is that the wonder stamina regenerated more quickly so that you could get more of them. >>56906707>>56906722>>56906725>It's disruptive on decks with lots of stage 2So it's disruptive to bad decks? Why run the card then? Mewtwo and Pikachu are good because they're basics. Mewtwo only has 1 evo line, which I have redrawn into every single time I've been Red Carded. The longer the game goes on, the worse Red Card gets, because the deck size gets smaller. Like, I just have no fucking idea what the point of the card is. In a 60 card deck it might be worth, but 20 cards, you need the Scope also and even if you're running both (which is a bad idea), you also need luck to be on your side and against your opponent. >>56906703>Debatably it's the strongest card in the game because it's the only card that can defeat luck of the draw.You know, I would possibly agree with you if you could Red Card yourself, but you can't. I think it's just dogshit.
>>56906732Eject Button that lets you Red Card yourself would actually be neat
>>56906722frosmoth has good synergy with dragonite, sleep lets you force coinflips, it only requires 2 energy and only one of those has to be water. you can also pack misty to feed it water energy while the rest goes to dragons.
>>56906740I can't believe I'm saying this after the hell that was thw WOTC era but we need Energy removal cards
>>56906683If they have a fat hand they might have 2 pieces of a 3 stage evo, especially after popping Oak. If I’m bricked too I might slap it down to prevent a basic and slow their deck, or I’ll slap it down after the stage 1 appears. I usually get the most use of it in endgame (as do some opponents) when most mons are out and your plan relies on the opponent not having X supporter, but obviously you have to make the read here
>>56906757Forgot to mention it discourages or punishes holding cards to bluff. Even if you’re planning some 9000 iq trap you can lose the evo mon in your hand to the opponent just playing their Red Card based on vibes (I’ve been guilty of this too lel)
>get a playset of articuno ex and misty>expect for cuno to crush everything cause cuno dont care>in actuality golduck and tentacruel do 99% of the workthank you for your service tentacruel
>>56906769>discourages or punishes holding cards to bluffI've only seen this happen onceEvery other time they just draw the Giovanni they need to win on the turn I would've won
What if you could SEE what you red-carded?
>>56906729>>56906757>Mathmatically, if your opponent is sitting on however many cards and you force them back to three, it's very likely you stole some key item or support cards that might have saved them on later turns.Mathematically, yes, but in practice, no. If you have 5 cards in your hand, you're probably sitting on duds. A 5 card hand is probably like 2 potions you can't use, an X Speed you have no reason to use because you're winning, an evolution that you don't have the base of, and maybe your own Red Card. In this game, if you have cards, there's really no reason to slow play them. Like, best case scenario, you turn 1 or turn 2 Red Card, and hope that they don't redraw into what they need, but at that point you're dealing with a deck that is smaller than 15, they have 2 copies of the card they need in their deck, so it's like 3/7 shot they redraw what they need anyway.Bluffing a Red Card, in my opinion, is retarded simply because I know that I also play this game, and if I have a big hand, it's all shit. If I have a big hand, I'd fucking Red Card myself 90% of the time. There's just no reason to slow play anything besides maybe Giovanni, so bluffing is stupid, and I just let my opponent's hand size get to ludicrous numbers, watching as they do fucking nothing, wondering why the fuck I'm playing Red Card in my deck.
Heart of the cards
>>56906709i dont know, i briefly returned and eveything wasw so different earlier this year that a ran away.powerlevels are nutbar.
>>56906779>DE posting on vpnow I need fanart of Articuno saying Mewtwo's love it in the d*ck
>Venusaur mirror>It ends in a draw after multiple turns of Heals, Erikas and WeezingsHuh, I didn't even know this was a thing, and I was close to winning I feel (we both had exhausted our decks and I still had more cards in hand).
>>56906791>mathmatically, yes, but in practice, no>best case scenario, you turn 1 or turn 2 red cardall your proving is your terrible at math. If your using redcard immediately, your wasting it.
>>56906791some decks prefer to slow evolve I think since evolving to soon makes the mon vulnerable
>>56906810We need the turn limit to go to 50
>>56906827>all your proving is your terrible at math. If your using redcard immediately, your wasting it.You're retarded, lil bro. The longer you play the game, the smaller your deck gets. It's only 20 cards to begin with, and the Red Card cards get shuffled into the deck and you redraw 3 cards. You need to play Red Card on turn 1 or turn 2, preferably after they used Oak, because otherwise you're having them redraw 3 cards from a 12 card deck, and they have 2 of what they need, so they're redrawing 3 cards from essentially a 6 card deck, and fuck you if they still have another Oak to draw into.
>>56905628Ive never had more than 1 head. Even the trick with the center coin flip doesnt work
>>56906840dumbass, if you use it round 1, they only have 3-4 cards in their hand. You want to use it later when they have more cards in their hand reducing their options on their next turn. apply yourself
>>56906782Doesn't make a difference. I know that every time I've been Red Carded "correctly" I just redraw what I need anyway.
>>56906782That's what the hand scope is for...
is there a worse emulator than bluestacks? my computer doesn't have the graphics for it :/
>>56906858I see that you're not actually attempting to participate in this conversation about how bad Red Card is, and you are choosing to purposely misread a post in order to attempt to be "correct" about something that you're wrong about.
Opened like 50 pikachu packs and have 0 caterpieDo i bite the bullet and buy them with pack points? Do you think theyll lower the cost or have a sale in the future?
>Just checked my collection progressEh, not bad I guess.I stopped opening Mewtwo packs a while ago and have been focusing on Pikachu packs.Looks like I'll keep doing that for now.
>>56906680keep him in the bench to heal your tanks
>>56906683It's filler. It can sometimes help you if you time it well, it's not a supporter, it doesn't clog up your deck with more basics. There aren't any better options so people use it. As soon as we get a great ball or switch it'll never see a decklist again.
>>56906869>uh, actually you didn't point out my flawed mathchildish behaviour
>>56906875find them in 1 cost wonder picks
>>56906869Don't know why you keep replying to the schizo.
>>56906892Kill yourself, dumb little shitposter. I said turn 1 or turn 2 (preferably after Oak) is the best time to play Red Card, because it's true. The more cards they play, the more things they put on the board, the higher chance they have to redraw back into what you don't want them to have. You're just being a third worlder shitposter right now.
>>56906863I mean as the cards get shuffled into the deck, why all the secrecy?
Dnite/Pidgeot is pretty neat actually. Until I brick.
>>56906876What are you using for tracking?
>>56906283Remember to add friend every single whale you see.
>>56906899I am running out of wonder picks, they take so long to refresh im always using the hourglassesIt just feels like a waste to use 35 on a caterpie when i should statistically gotten 1 by now. I dont understand the algorithm all that well but it seems like it favors cards you already have because i rarely ever open a pack with more than 1 new card
friendly reminder that if we ever get a double colorless trainer card this will be better than pikachu ex.
>>56906925Whale? Why add friend? What does it do besides get you a couple missions?
>>56906780I meant more in the sense of like, its existence. Bluffing in general is gonna be a calculated risk but you might be more willing to just play the evo (or 3rd mon in the case of Pikachu) if the risk of potentially losing it outweighs just executing your strat in plain sight.

>>56906283Is there a worse EX?
>>56906932>lower HP>needs more energy>not a basic cardI don't think so
>>56906932>better than pikachu exIt's an evolution pokemon that gets ohko'd by Starmie and Sandslash. I don't think it's ever going to be better than Pikachu EX.
>>56906941Thanks, there's so many of these spreadsheets going around.The one I was using didn't track playsets.
>>56906938You get their draws in wonder picks
>>56906932>Colorless so no extra damage from weakness>Stage 1Only positive is 1 point if killed. The reason why Pikachu EX works is because he's a basic pokémon

>>56906942Arcanine EX
>>56906939but why would I bluff tho
>>56906952Yeah I was too before I found this one. I swapped because it's useful to know if you have playsets or not.
>>56906875Do it. It's just 35 PP or 7 packs. Odd is you won't get it off 7 Pikachu packs

>>56906881Useless.
>>56906978Yeah, I was considering adding tracking for that myself.I still might add Flair tracking to this, not that I'm actively going for that.
>>56906683I use mine when it's gg for them to induce rage and get them to consneed faster
I need a second Hypno and missed Wonder Picks for it twice and haven't got it from multiple packs. I have to buy it. I'm going to play it so much even if I never win.

Can we put /vp/ battle passwords in the OP, so that more people will battle together?I’m gonna run some: vpnxNo dice flips, ex, or dragoniteIf anyone wants to join.
Venomoth into Beedrill going first is one of the fastest, highest damage lines in the game. It might actually be the single fastest line that doesn't require a coin toss. You can 2 shot things with 130 or less HP, and 140 HP things die when they pass turn back to you.
>>56906973Just try it sometimes man, people don’t see shit. Vulpix on the bench with X Speed/Ninetales/Blaine in hand or Pika on the bench with full Raichu surge setup is pretty nasty
>>56907065https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5Hoymh5DzoEveryone right now
>>56907070Lol we had nearly the same deck, gg
>>56907069I figured out that you can get heads almost always by grabbing the coin and shifting it slightly down and right and then gently flicking it up and to the left. it will land curved on its side and then barely have enough momentum to land on heads. Have the japs been disseminating a consistent way to land heads? I'd use it to play blastoise.

>>56906973I won by bluffing once simply by saving Jynx and 2 Xspeed on hand. Some Chinese guy was running misty and rolled 7 heads on their Starmie Ex. If I have placed Jynx down they would've seen it as a threat and switched out or used Sabrina to force me to use Jynx so he could kill it. But I slapped my Garde out after my active Pokémon was killed so the next turn I could put Jynx on bench, double Xspeed retreat Gardevoir, place energy on Jynx and use Gardevoir's ability on Jynx. They conceded first before I could one shot kill their Starmie Ex with 170 dmg attack.
>>56907070I'm up for a few of these if anyone wants to go
>>56907158No points for you cheater!
>>56907158God plays

>>56907070GG.
Thank you everyone for convincing people Red Card is bad since there’s been several games now where my win condition is several turns down the line that would have been spoiled by a red card.
>>56907205How would I know that
>>56907069They exploit being skilled at the coinflip, yes.
giv weezer deck that beats mewtwo reliably pls

>>56907107Coinflips being manual is a mistake both for game speed and this. I want my luck determined by a cold unbiased machine with zero room for variance and not the flippant biased will of physics.

>>56907229You're missing the point of the first post, my dude.>doesn't bother trying the deck>wants other people to just give them their experiences so he can skip to the finalized productI'll say it again, redditor. Try the deck for yourself. Throw whatever shit you want into the deck and find out what works. Try thinking for once. What felt good and what didn't? What slowed you down? Are there any alternatives that are faster/cheaper/stronger? What are the trade-offs? Figure this shit out instead of asking for strangers to spoonfeed you. Holy shit, how do you even enjoy the game if you don't want to play it? Are you honestly telling me that pro-players never try their own shit out and just wait for a bunch of nerds on /vp/ to theorycraft for them, Mr. "Professional TCG Cicle"?There, I even put breaks in between each sentence to help with your reading comprehension.

Will the chansey pick come back?I dont see how one would be able to get 10 meowths for all the flair before it leaves
>>56907239This is why Mewtwo is legitimately the best deck in the format. Even against your nightmare match-up, your nut draw beats there nut draw. Now that I've gotten better over the last few days, I hardly ever lose, and when I do it's always to dark decks or Eggs ex. Misty and pika can't ever beat 2 mewtwo. Fossils are so fucking good in the deck and I lol at mirror matches where my opponents play meowth, jinx, or regular mewtwo and then fail to assemble gard. They don't even realize they're losing because their building their deck incorrectly. I legitimately feel so far ahead of the population with my Mewtwo list. I was like 17-2 today. I was supposed to do work today but the servers were down for hours :) I've only felt this far ahead of the metagame in 2 other times in my TCG career. I mean it. t. Mewtwo faggot
>>56907205Red card is amazing. Obviously you can only play one, but it's amazing. Hardest part of the game to play properly though. I'm finally getting to 95%+ satisfaction with my red card plays (and lack thereof)t. Mewtwo faggot
>>56907108Try hitmonlee with that, we both pokeball Ed to nothing cuz of fossils
>>56907246Yeah I just deleted like 20 people.Whoever was just running Nidos, I made a fire deck so that I don’t have type advantage if you wanna go again. Lmao tho
>>56907468It's alright it's like 3am i need to go to bedgg's broglad my nidos could squeak out a single win though somehow
>>56907315I prefer Zebstrika, I can't count the number of times I killed some fag trying to retreat
Mewtwo is so fucking insanely good if you play a proper list. Can play Control when needed. Aggro when needed. Also is a combo deck w nut draws. I really can't say enough good things. It'll get nerfed w 30 card decks so I gotta enjoy it while i can. I'll look for some tournaments.
>>56907565I think there's basically only two real high damage decks that I've seen. Mewtwo/Gardevoir and Charizard/Moltres. I just finished a charizard/moltres deck yesterday and it rocks, now working on mewtwo/gardevior.
Mewtwo fag here. Played several TCGs professionally in my past. I feel like I'm godly and some people told me to stream so I will. Not sure if you'll hear me or what but IMA do it. Gonna get some Ws with the best network build.Twitch.com/pocketgrinder
>>56907648He's to hoping you get lucky and get noticed so you can pull enough viewers to make some cash.
>>56907671Is just for fun sar and to put my money where my mouth is. Won round one without a mewtwo. We both drew terrible.1-0 on the stream
>>56907685>Is just for fun sar and to put my money where my mouth is.be sure to open packs on stream. people love that.

5-0 but I played bad misclicked.
>>56907006Dumbass
