How much of the early/tutorial rolls are automated and stuff?I did the first pack and got marowak EX, then another dead pack, then a wonder pick where I got the "good" one some bulbasaur sparkly card, and finally another pack gave me a dragonite holo and a thing about 16 cards with some dragonite fact relating to it (which made it seem scripted)Are these all essentially guaranteed results or could I reroll if I wanted? Idk if I wanna build a deck around these
>>56920135FUCK MISTY - WEEZING
>>56920150The 1st pack and 1st Wonder Pick (ones you mentioned containing the EX and Full Art respectively) are guaranteed results, yes. The forced Mewtwo pull is not guaranteed of anything which is how you got it dead.
>>56920108Can you get that art for Machamp? Also any word on when trading will be available and it's just shit wonder trades or if you can just trade cards with friends like normal
>>56920163>Can you get that art for Machamp?Yeah but it's very rare>Also any word on when trading will be availableJanuary
Is the game bugged or something?
Fun and interactive turn 1 gameplay, killing me instantly
>>56920150First pack and first wonder pack is always predeterminedI had a pretty good routine to get my rerolled gold card>Roll first pack (predetermined)>Roll mewtwo (this can be anything, even immersives, god pack etc)>Do the free wonderpack (predetermined)>Go back to the wonderpack>Find a 3 or 4 star wonder (more exp)>claim the shit>rollrollroll>claimclaimclaim>rollrollroll
>>56920169Yeah your game is glitched, you should delete your account so your phone doesn't get hardware banned.
>>56920154Has anyone drawn an instant loss 2-koma where Misty fails her coin flips and then proceeds to get mating pressed? I feel like people are missing a real opportunity here

>>56920169Nice grab another, grats
>>56920172the local shill will defend this
>another charmander immersive but no moltresAHHHHHHHHHHH
>>56920169Pulls like these make me want to go back and reroll more accounts, but I'm not doing that again.

>>56920177https://x.com/dummy070088/status/1857378261183131675Does this count? The kid gets 10 tails in a row, she taunts him, he says he'll come inside her every heads he gets, she says it's fine since he'll never get any.Then the fanbox only reply has him hitting 10 heads in a row
This is like the Brawl of cardgames. All the card flip mechanics are like tripping and mewtwo is metaknight
>>56920212Mewtwo isn't even close to dominant enough to be called metaknight.
>>56920212I already made the Brawl comment last thread, bro. Except you're wrong. Going first in this game is like tripping in Brawl.
is this the first tcg lite game for a lot of anons here?far as I can tell most of the tcg bros are all used to this kind of shit, hell master duel had a problem with OTK bots and had to ban cards because they were winning too much games, and that shit was way more consistent than misty high roll, pocket is a really chill game outside of getting misty skill issued

I may have a 6th sense. I also picked a Zapdos EX but I didn't take a screenshot.
How much would I want to kms rerolling for pic related?
>>56920324It's only like 1-2 days of rerolling.
>>56920156>>56920175Thanks
>>56920324I mean it's not the highest rarity so it shouldn't be too bad but everyone's luck is different, you could be the (un)lucky loser that rolls the dice in such a way that it takes over 50 account rerolls but you wouldn't know until you get in there and try, especially when the real dilemma is going after the 2nd (since you just know sitting on 1 copy will only keep you content for so long before you want the playset)
>>569203242 gold stars are hardest to reroll for because theres 10 of them
>>56920352This. Your odds of pulling a crown rare are about as good as pulling a specific. 2star. I’d love to have a set of the few that I have (moltres ex and blaine), but it’s obvious whale bait.
I missed my Wonderpick for Charizard EX, why would Gamefreak do this to me?
>>56920332>>56920352>>56920364Alright I'll give it a shot anyways. If I get lucky with a godseeded account along the way I can just stop there. I exclusively want it for the art anyways
>>56920392If it were me rerolling, I'd really want two Sabrina ones. It's a card that will probably always retain relevance after all, and is very universal.
>>56920392Chuck up a few instances in mumuplayer + sync it, saves you some time if you reroll a few accounts at the same time
>I want another Misty for my water deck, not even full art, just a misty will be enough.>Open just charged pack, gets a fucking immersive Pikachu EX>ANOTHER immersive Pikachu EX and I haven't gotten the normal one either.I don't know what to feel and the fucking immersive animation crashed the game, my phone is too weak.

>>56920206Dead link, bro
Couple dumb questions please and ty1)the part where you pick a pack and it lets you scroll through the wheel of packs and pick which individual one - that's just window dressing/fluff and doesn't actually make a difference right?2)is there any strat/technique to wonder picking or is it just a flat 1/5 chance where you pray?
>>56920446There are no tricks, just pick your shit
>>56920446>1)the part where you pick a pack and it lets you scroll through the wheel of packs and pick which individual one - that's just window dressing/fluff and doesn't actually make a difference right?No, the cards are decided the moment you click open pack.>2)is there any strat/technique to wonder picking or is it just a flat 1/5 chance where you pray?Pick any card on top. It has 60% of chance of being there compared to 40% on the bottom cards.
>>56920453the illusion of free choice
>>56920453>No, the cards are decided the moment you click open packOh, that explains why if the game crashes while you are on that wheel menu you still GET THE CARDS even you didn't open a pack.
I am at 4 copies now
>>56920151I've been trying to catch a Misty fag highroll whole day now, and they either whiff of get like 2-3 heads max. My Jynx is thirsty for blood.

>>56920476SELL HIGH AT VENU DROP EVENT
so is this just mewtwo deck simulator until they release a new set?
There's no way to like, "dust" duplicates is there? I have a couple marowak ex's and I could use some other shit.
>>56920108How's your collections coming along?

how crippled it would be to make a venusaur deck with just one ex copy
>little shing sound effect when you open a pack with a full artactual soul
>>56920569It's such a slow fucking deck that it might be okay.
>>56920568You just got the slapper of leeks.
>>56920564>spoilerWait so is that how long it takes for the premium to change? Pretty lame
>finally got second lapras ex>don't have to put up with starmie ex faggotry anymoreThank god
I have 5 or 6 of every promo card other than Lapras which is at 0.
>>56920578Not that guy, but what's a good substitute for a single Venu EX in the deck?
>>56920645No idea. I do have 2 Venusaur EX, but I have never played that deck, and I've only run into it maybe 2 or 3 times. 2 were Lilligant, which I beat. The one I didn't beat was a Butterfree one that just built up a double Butterfree wall building Venusaur EX in the back. I don't remember if I had a bad draw or not, but the wall was thick even if it took a while to assemble. I was playing Pika. I don't know what you or that guy are running with the Venusaur, but my only comments on the deck are that it's slow, the only one I've seen that I didn't beat ran Butterfrees, and it becomes an impenetrable wall if the Butterfrees can get online.

>play pika with full bench on open>oppent goes first>plays Articuno>fails Misty coin flip>conceedsToo easy
I don't really get how the rates work. In game if you look at the offerings it says cards 1-3 are guaranteed to be common slop. And then card 4 has a low-ish chance to be something rare. And card 5 has a slightly higher chance to be something rare.But opening packs I've gotten rare cards on card 1 or 3. What gives?
>>56920108i really wanna get that card
Trading will make or break this game for me.It feels much stingier than the other mobile TCGs I've played, since we don't have a card crafting by sacrificing dupes. Flairs are a meme in comparison.When is trading coming again?
>>56920716next year bwo...
>>56920716>When is trading coming again?They say Jan in the latest news post. With some things excluded (here's hoping they just mean promo stuff)I would say it would coincide with the big main set release (Jan29)
>>56920716The most fucked up thing is that I only have the meta decks (Mewtwo and Pika) because I'm missing random trainers or 150 cost rares, or even 35 cost Pokemon from every other deck that I want to build. I'm out of Wonder Trade points too.
Arbok and Weezing? Or Arbok and Pidgeot?
any fun and cheeky grass type decks?
>>56920729Wigglytuff amd Weezing

>>56920751>poison and sleepevil
When are they gonna let you pick a Pokemon trainer to play as
TEHRES NO WAY MISTY IS 50/50 LYING FUCKING CHINKS
>>56920751That sounds fucking diabolical, and I love it.
>>56920142Add this to the list fellow top right Chad. Together we can make pokemon great again
Guys how do I finish the Lapras shitty event mission advanced level ( win using deck where all pokemon are *,**,*** rarity) mission.
>>56920142>>56920767Are we ever going to figure out if this shit is predetermined like the tutorial wonder pick is?
>>56920737Bug aggro with venomoth and beedrill. If you curve out properly you can kill pretty much anything. We're talking 130 damage by your second turn, 140 if they pass back, 150 if you have Giovanni, fantastic numbers.
>>56920782post deck
>>56920782>>56920789I am also curious.
Is there a way to reset wonder pick list if my only options are 1 cost crap?
>>56920805go to sleep.. haha!
>>56920782nice meme bro i just lost 4 matches with it
Should I buy another garde to complete my mewtwo deck
>>56920805exit the game and go back in?
>>56920782whats the point of venomoth
>>56920716>Trading will make or break this game for me.it will be absolutely needed in the future but now it's useless because i didn't pay a single time and i already have tons of cards and multiple EX of the same pokemon.BUT... imagine if you are some normie that will join a 1-2 years later when there are shit ton of cards. There is absolutely no way you will be able to build a deck easily. you'll have to trade for that.
>>56920737Victrebel eggboi plus like 1 or 2 kang/farfetched, ran into it earlier and it looked good, that guy was playing the poison moth but not sure how to fit all that
>>56920142Why would you lie like that…
I can't beat Mewtwo/Gardevoir deck, it's too powerful
>>56920850If you haven't rerolled for a meta deck by now then you deserve it.
>>56920819High damage stage 1 that you can retreat into Beedrill or an Exeggutor or something. 30 damage plus poison adds up to like 60+ damage for 1 energy, but you need something to swap to since you can't poison them twice. Beedrill and the Exeggutors are your highest damage options that you can access the next turn after poisoning them.It's the more aggressive version of Weezing.
>>56920789>>56920801This is what I was running tonight and it feels really powerful but I think you want Aerodactyl because otherwise it's impossible to beat a set up charizard. In place of the eggs you could play 1 fossil, 1 aero, 1 sabrina and another gio, maybe.
>>56920894well all I need is a kakuna to fill that out. I'm at the end of my freemium shit, so I might as well just to give me a variation on my parasect and exeggutor, luckily I got 2 ex's.
I think opening packs while getting some dope head from a woman you plan to spend the rest of your life with sounds like a good time
>>56920854I don't own every cards you dimwit

>>56920914luckyall i got is some fat chubby girl who identifies as gender fluid giving me mid head
Did the free bonus Meowth/Chansey/hourglass/event currency wonder picks dry up or something? Used to see 'em by booting the game every few hours or so, but got zero yesterday and so far seen none today too.
>>56920972No I'm not lucky yet just praying for a good outcome
>>56920990Also curious, I'm 3 away from the meowth mat.
>>56920990Yep event ended on the 14th
>>56920996Fuck, I just started yesterday too.
>>56920134Idk if that's even true. Like do we know if promos that are in the game now count for Mew or do we specifically need the Genetic Apex versions of the Pokemon? Just because they add different Kanto cards later doesn't mean they'll count towards the Mew
>>56920996Damn, guess I'll just play a quick battle for the dailies then. Fuck spending hourglasses on a wonder pick if there's nothing really good on offer.
I can't fuxkin bring myself to grind this out man... Auto mode when
>Exeggutor player using the Erika paypiggy coin hits heads four times in a rowreally makes you think
>>56921002The idea is obviously that you complete the Kanto dex for Mew, there's no reason to make it so that you need specific versions for it.
>>56921011All skill btw
Wonder Pick stam takes too long, if they're expecting us to waste it for a daily. It should recharge every 8 hours instead, so you can gamble for an EX once a day.
>>56920134>>56921002>>56921014>later sets, promos, events will all have Gen 1 here and there.The mission is part of the Genetic Apex themed collections which only consider A1 cards
>>56921018They don't expect that at all.
>>56921018Just save your two free packs for your dailies.
>>56921018Once you pick one pack, daily can be completed with 1 battle, a second pack or a wonder pickSo I assume WP isn't expected every day
How much am I bricking myself if I don't reroll for meta shit and just try and reroll for an Eirika or Sabrina sexo instead?
>>56921068You can buy Eirika and Sabrina with points. The same cannot be said about a meta deck.
>>56921068Don't be dumb and just roll what you want.
>>56921078The sexo versions of them cost 1250 though. Idk how fast you get these points by playing
>>56921086f2p you're not even getting one sexo version.
>>56921018Listen here niggatron, you can get your damn dailies by just opening one pack and doing one battle (it not only counts CPU battles, but even concessions).You're not SUPPOSED to wonder pick every day, you're supposed to do it like once every 2 days or so.
>>56920716>>56920728spark or wonder pick.I already have numerous decks.
>>56921091Hence why I'm wanting to try reroll for one
>>56920770I used weezing deck I think and got it or maybe a jolteon deck.
>>56920811post your deck
>>56921113Yeah, you were saying that you're not sure how fast you get the points, and the answer is "not at all" because it's 5 points per pack.I guess you could get one if you're really diligent the full 3 months or however it takes for the next set.That said, picking them from Wonder Pick is a possibility, just not a very fast or consistent one.
>>56920894So I don't know if it's luck or it's just aggressive. But it's been a pretty smooth ride to 50 wins so far, close to 40 wins from 25.
>>56921123Oh I see what you mean. Then yeah fuck it I'll pull for it. Full art trainers are more kino than mons
>>56920108So far I've use;Pikachu ex weezing/arbokweezing/nidoking moltres/arcanine moltres/centiskorch Omastargyarados Wigglytuff primeape/sandslash frosmoth And all of them feel incredibly weak compared to my Starmie ex decks I've been building since recently unlocking my second Starmie ex.
>>56921095What's the fucking point of a feature if I'm only "supposed" to use it every two days, fuck off with that bullshit, it's the same complain everyone has with this barebones game: it's nothing but a waiting game. WP is supposed to help people complete collections, but even waiting a whole 24 hours doesn't give you enough stamina to attempt for a full art or EX without spending dripfed hourglasses, and we're still at the mercy of a random pick so 80% of the time you'll be getting a common duplicate.We get ONE WP hourglass per day as a login reward, that's just a fucking insult.
>>56921136Agreed.I wish I rerolled at the start for some, but it's too late now.
>>56921068If you're rolling for them it means you're rolling on Charizard packs, where the two best decks are probably Charizard ex + Moltres ex and Blaine, both of which are reasonably good. Sabrina is a staple card for everyone but Erika is only used in Grass decks so you'll need to get other cards from other packs to use her effectively, although Zard packs do Exeggutor ex. It's about a 1/400 chance of getting a specific FA trainer card in a pack
>would like another alt Charmander >already have 2 alt Rapidash>will probably roll Dubwool anyways since it's technically the same odds of rolling those 2>would have to use Gold instead of hourglasses for the refill Should I give up? Just try pulling the Charmander normally?>>56921010Yeah, even if it results in me losing when I could've won by piloting, pvp needs an auto mode.
>>56921150absolutely not worth it imo
>>56921150What else would you use them for?Sure, you may have 2 Rapidash already, but once trading is out, it MIGHT come in handy, so it's better than nothing at elast.
Which account should I stick with? I pulled 30 packs in account 1 and 2 while in 3 I used up everything then I realized I only need one deck and I should be saving to pull for something I actually like.
>>56921166use one as a main, use the other two as trade fodder(see how trading works) and just pull packs on emobviously keep 3 as a main tho... 2 golds wtf..?im rolling 2 accounts on the side via mumuplayer
>>56921139quit the game.
>>56921166Stick with 3, trade everything from 1 and 2 is possible when trading drops.>>56921155I'll heed this.>>56921157I guess if I got enough Rapidash I'd make Blaine.dek with flaired horses, but I would really hope that my luck isn't so bad that I have enough horsies to hit flair *two* of them.
>>56921119Post deck If it's not a problem, thanks in advance.

>>56920169You have a 1/200 of opening a god pack like this
>>569212211/2000*
bent corner chads we win again
>>56921217I'm honestly debating on spending the rest of my hourglasses for chances at Lapras. I imagine nothing in the next promo set will be as valuable as a meta EX, especially if we can trade it.
>>56920169ive been playing and paying since global launch and still yet to pull a god pack, what am i doing wrong?
>>56921233it's 1/2000, some people are just getting lucky and pulling theirs earlyyou'll get yours soon (copium)
Golduck has to be one of the most underrated cards/evo lines right now.
>>56920108Machamp should be Planet-sized.
>>5692124690HP is just too squishyMaybe if it only needed 1 energy
Is there any basic QOL stuff you guys can think of? For me, it's turn markers in the Battle Log, as well as it outright saying what turn it is somewhere on the screen. Match History as well as Pack History would be nice too.
>>56921232how many do you have? I have a ton of packs I haven't even opened yet.
>>56921255>Maybe if it only needed 1 energyThat would make it the best card in the game
>>56921256being able to fully skip dex stuff when getting new cards. more search opens through your cards.
>>56921265I would've had 5, but I used one for flair without thinking they could be traded.
>>56921273
I'M GONNA DO ITI'M REALLY GONNA FUCKIN DO ITEAT SHIT AND GO FUCK YOURSELF, TOP RIGHT CULT
>>56921276Damn, you barely have any cards. What holos do you have?
>>56921280thank you goy I'll be taking your 3 wonderpoints
>>56921280CLOBBED
>>56921280Non-believers get what they deserve.
>>56921281it only shows how many cards you are searching for
>>56921205a lot, especially if it's a basic so you can get rid of x1 grimer x1 muk which is the shittiest part of the deck
>>56921290>>56921205Idk if an ex would make it stronger. One of the things that's great about the deck is there's no exs so each KO against you counts for less and let's you win by attrition. You can often ko two of their guys before they can get 3 of yours and you can afford to trade 1v1 against their ex.
>>56921289Can I have your Zapdos? The one on the top left?
>>56921298I would imagine that since it's a slower deck, it won't have issues working around getting the ex killed.
>>56921280shit's predetermined bro (but every card is actually 1/5)you just play an animation like the coin flips or the revolving card packs
how hopeful are you that the next expansion is going to improve the meta? personally I'm optimistic because the added variety alone will at least make it less boring even if it doesn't end up balancing it
>>56921306If the ex gets killed there would be lots if opportunities to Sabrina in an Evans or arbok and one shot it. Idk I would only want to use an ex with this deck if it had ridiculously high health, low retreat cost, and something like>omastar's ability >arbok's ability >muk+grimer ability to poison and also deal bonus damage to poisoned targets
>>56921232>meta EXMisty is the meta. Lapras is just one device among many to come.
>>56921316>improve the metakind of wish you dumb fucks would shut up about that since 80% of you are just copying decks you saw on a tournament list anyway. I don't think there's a real meta yet as the game is just a few weeks old.
>>56921282FOURIT WAS FUCKING FOURI USED HOURGLASSES FOR THIS
>>56921316Don't get your hopes up. The way the game is design, the meta is only going to get faster and faster.>>56921322>80% of people are using the same few decks>there's no metaRamblings of a drunk. You just need to play a few games to know there's a meta. It's evolving quickly like Arca9 going into favor but it's settling.
>>56921316this game is not mechanically consistent enough to have a real metayou have a bunch of top decks which are "varied" enough by requiring a bunch of different cards and I think this will only get worse as time goes on but the lack of competitive leaderboards etc is nice and I hope it stays that way
>>56921316>improve the metait will never get betterenjoy it while you can
>>56921334>Ramblings of a drunkDo you want to battle, you theory nerd?
>>56921322I've played a thousand tcgs and I've always liked building decks more than piloting them, but it's abundantly clear that the cardpool is too shallow to hide a different metagame than what we're having now, especially considered that 80% of it is just different variations of vanilla mons. then again this is precisely the reason why I look forward to the cardpool bulking out a bit more
>>56920324How does that body curve so well
>>56921353>thousand tcgsname them all.>>56921346also love when you retard theorists dodge. All of your dumb ideas are just that. Dumb ideas. You aren't battle tested

>>56921394Yeah it's stupid but it has meme potential. Considering Lapras was the event, they knew what they were doing.

>>56920758Try using Jolteon sometimes and see how tossing 4 coins averages out to 1 heads per attack.
>>56920324Lapras event is almost over. It's too late to reroll. It's over.
The game becomes entirely pointless to play once you realise 80% of games are against Misty or Pikachu. Both so ovetuned that they're leagues above everything else in power-level.

>>56921232Isn't the next one Venusaur?
>>56921011To be honest, me Exeggutor also always rolled heads.
will there just be really heavy restrictions on trading?otherwise what is to stop people from just making a second account and rerolling for stuff to trade to their main for commons
>>56921170>>56921173Why do you think they'll let you trade freely? I've played some gacha games but this game is like the stingiest of them all, they don't let you save anything at all that's why I made 2 alts in the first place.Also 3rd account opened 80 packs while 1st and 2nd opened 30 packs, so those 50 unopened packs could POTENTIALLY have better result than 3rd account, but I think getting 2 golds from opening 50 packs is probably never gonna happen if I'm being real here.
What's the best Pikachu deck? What are the other best decks? What are the MOST FUN decks?
>>56921010>>56921150>pvp>wants auto-pilot>by definition is no longer pvpYou guys are retarded.
>>56921316Look at it this way: currently the meta is the way it is, because a few EX are just way too strong/fast. If they don't release something that's stronger and faster than them, then meta won't change. If they do, it will only get worse.
Mewtwo(All have 2 fossile, no Gio)2 potion 2 Sarbina1 potion 2 Sabrina 1 Aero2 potion 1 Sabrina 1 AeroKoga is a pretty difficult match up and in testing I won a game due to having Aero tank a hit and denying them the point from ko-ing the fossli.It wasn't that amazing though and only lets me live 1 extra turn really as a meat shield, which is what having 2 Sabrinas does too, allowing the use of early Sabrina as a tempo play for better stalling,though there are definitely games where the 2nd Sabrina is dead weight, potentially the first one too. They are definitely kinda bad against Koga given everyone is strong, but it's good against Pika to help stall early game and to help secure prizes or easy kos later game if you need it, which Aero doesn't help with due to the lightning weakness.I don't know how well aero techs against other decks but he is potentially around the same use as a second Sabrina in the misty match up, better if it's a Starmie variant forcing them to have a Gio.I think I'll probably keep it better suited for the PIka match up, which also means double potion since if you can stall out long enough to have both copies then it forces Pika to have a Gio to 2 shot, same goes to Starmie which is, scary, honestly. Even just for single potion use having 2 ups consistency, though potions also have a tendency to not mattter in a lot of games.Ultimately I see that including Aero, losing a Sabrina, improves the match up against Misty and Koga (and other random dark shit), at the expense of the pika matchup, and it probably doesn't fare too much better against Charizard unless you try to gust him back into the deck which is two turns of precious energy that Mewtwo isn't receiving, and same goes for A9 but the statistics say that M2 is the favored match up here anyway.Just theory crafting and fine-tuning.
Based Grimer dabbing on Mewtwo Ex shitters. He was my first and only active pokemon this game.

must feel humiliating to get beaten up by a 0 ex Pokémon deck when you're playing the meta
>>56921483>What are the MOST FUN decks?The ones that use cards you like the most.
>>56921316I think the meta is fine for the most part. I doubt it will improve much; that rarely happens with games like this. If you’re hoping for variety, the best thing that can happen is to receive fighting and dark support that would put those types on the level of mewtwo and pika now. Those decks then become riskier to run, so you see them less often.What will likely happen? We’ll receive something that btfo’s everything we have right now.
>>56921522I think the meta will change in who the most popular EXes are every so often, but otherwise I think it'll get faster and nothing else will really change.
>>56921280Pretty sure that's my pack you're picking fromIf it helps, I don't even have a second copy, missed my last 4 WPs
Wigglytuff/Vegas tree has been fantasticBeats pika with plant, sleeps mewtwoI feel like I have speed and bulk it's just low damage but I've found the bulk to be enough to offset the issues.
>>56921316the only way to "improve the meta" is to add more cards that create different strategies to play/win. but the game is intentionally simple so I don't think it will change much from how it is now.
There needs to be a better way to buy flair for cards. Needing to melt copies of some of the rarest cards in the game is criminal
>>56921471that's a regular Venusaur
>>56921483>funSomething like Greninja Seadra. Basically one that requires you to make choices and adapt instead of having powerhouse win condition.
>opponent puts a Moltres EX on the field>uses a pokeball, gets nothing>concedes??
>>56921199Unfortunately I don't have muk is there a replacement for muk.
>>56921483>What's the best Pikachu deck?The one that runs Raichu.>What are the other best decks?Statistically- Mewtwo + Gardevoir- Marowak + (Primeape is better than Sandslash)- Blaine Ninetales- Arcanine + (Moltres?)>What are the MOST FUN decks?The ones without EXs. Or Marowak for coinflips.
>>56921490I think it's a bit more nuanced than thatbasically the way the game currently is all pokemon below 100hp may as well be 10hp, that's almost all pokemon that would be good going firstwhich means there's no reason to build your deck in a way that takes advantage of going first and puts early pressure on the board, because it's gonna immediately get invalidated by pikachu and starmie going secondall the strong stage 1 beaters except for weezing are not in the game right now, there's no reason to play them; you'd be better off playing farfetchd, it's gonna die all the samein theory they could release a bunch of strong stage 1 pokemon that can reliably trade hits with these guys and shift the meta in a way that'd allow more ≤90hp cards to breathe, even something small like giving non-ex marowak an extra 10hp could already shift the meta in a significant way
Creating a card that works only against Pikachu Ex would probably the easiest.
>>56921618Arcanine EX without Moltres runs but you need Moltres to have it pick up any sort of speed. Otherwise you need to sit on Growlithe for three turns and that's not great.

>>56921630I run a double Nidoking deck because Nidoking is a cool pokemon.
>>56921622Sabrina stonks through the fucking roof
>>56921641Isn't it great? Both strong and risky.
>>56920108 I got the fucking EX version of Venusaur, Charizard, Articuno, Gengar, Marowak, Wigglytuff (both EX cards), a bunch of rare cards including TWO mewtwo EX, but I got no fucking good basic cards. Trying to build a grass deck and I don't have a SINGLE butterfree.I gotta say, collecting cards and battling is fun and all, but the game is heavily luck dependant.PS: You can sub for 2 weeks for free. Do it then unsub straight away.
>>56921624I've been having success with my half ass Blaine deck with my Arcanine.I have the 2 Rapidash 2 Arcanine and 1 Magmar.But instead of waiting on Ninetails it's Arcanine. If you can snipe a mon they invested even a single energy with a Rapidash + Blaine combo you probably already won.
>>56921647>PS: You can sub for 2 weeks for free. Do it then unsub straight away.I'm waiting for the new pack to drop before I claim the free subscription.
>>56921316>how hopeful are you that the next expansion is going to improve the meta?The absolute best deck in the format only has a 55% winrate. This game is decided by the initial coinflip, which is an allegedly 50% chance; whoever goes first loses. The best deck in the game barely beats the coinflip. I think the meta is fine. What really needs to change is how going first works, but I genuinely believe that going first fucks you over so much on purpose, and that this is how the devs are "balancing" the game.
>>56920108>put moltres EX on the field>give him an energyput sizzlipede on the field>flip the coin to generate fire>in 2 turns get sizzlipede to 4 energy and moltres EX to 2 so you can back out>get scolipede card>evolve it>switch out moltres EX>130hp and 130 damage card>If you're lucky you stuck moltress around longer and you have given rapidash, flareon or ninetales enough energy to switch scolipede out if need be and sustained moltress with healing items to ensure this happens while keeping it alive>can win basically any game if the coin flip rng is good (three good turns in a row of 2 or more heads guarantees a win).
>>56921316Adding new supporters and items to the pool will will shake things up, unless they make a second back of specific supports like Koga/Blaine etc and we're stuck with Sabrina and Giovanni as general usePersonally I hope they add some energy removal
>>56921658I considered this too, but there are a few annoying cards I really want that would be very beneficial for my builds. There is no guarantee that the deal will be there later, either.
>>56921630I'm having fun with Machamp + Dodriosoften everything up with the birds and Hitmonlee, then send in the champ to sweep
>>56920324This card is a meme, I should have used my points to get Erika instead.
>>56920108Starmie EX is so fucking busted. It's really hard to beat the last level of the lapras challenge.
>>56921630I am...a Gengar holder (still waiting for the 2nd copy)
>>56921647I just feel like I have so many really good cards but I am just missing one or two cards I REALLY need for the decks to shine.
>>56921630Gengar EX with Fossils + KangaI experimented with Psyduck before but you really want the extra meat shield.I might even try a build with an Aero in it for extra survival + alt win conIt's honestly pretty fun and cool knowing your opponent can't Gio or Sabrina you, and if you manage to get him out quickly AND your opponent bricks then gg Misty.He will only get better and better as we get stronger and stronger supports, and potential rare candy support too..
>>56921630Still trying to optimize it.
>>56921617you can just use it without muk and use 2 retreats or 2 gios instead
>>56921647>no butterfreeBuddy, we've been having an event for like 10 days that gives free butterfrees.>>56921689>missing one or two cardsbuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuy theeeeeeeeeeem. There's a shop specifically for this situation.
>>56921630Melmetal and aero are highly based and fun
>>56921698What do you run alongside the Melmetal and Aero?
>>56921696eh? what event that gives free butterfrees? Is it still on? I didn't see anything about that anywhere>>56921696You mean the one where you trade in the currency you get from getting cards? Yeah I have been doing, but you don't get that much. I need a gardevoir, butterfrees and some trainer cards. A magmar would be good too cuz I got the rapidash/ninetales and blaine already.
>>56921630
>>56921720>no fossil
>>56921724fossils are too meta
Which pack do I open for Darks?
>>56921719If you can't buy a couple of cards from the point shop, then you're probably very new to the game, which also explains why you didn't know about the Lapras event.
>>56921630Alakazam.dek enough said, this thing is an unofficial ex

>>56921726Lord Helix doesn't approve of this.
Always middle
>>56921728but I'm doing the Lapras event and I did all of it except the final one and I didn't get any butterfrees. Do you mean the promo pack card rewards you get? Those are one time only, right?
>>56921630I love him.
>>56921739There are 5 cards in the promo packs.
>>56921749Yeah I didn't get any butterfrees lol. Can you do the fights again for more cards? Guessing not.
>>56921755Yeah, man. Of course. How do you think I got like 20 Mankeys?
->>56921755>Can you do the fights again for more cards?Yes, you absolutely can. The more difficult stages make getting a promo pack more likely.
Misty? Pikachu? Mewtwo?Yeah, no thanks for you.
>>56921630It's pretty nice and consistent.
>>56921774Sorry, bro. I rerolled for meta, because that's how you play gacha, and then the game never gave me any other cards. I'm not even joking.
What are fossils for
>>56921782They evolve into the fossil pokemon. Alternatively, they're used as protection from Sabrina.
>>56921782You either use fossils to protect your EX poks from Sabrina (you can discard them from active spot if they don't get KO'd for free switch in) or just play off meta fun deck with Omastar/Aero. Kabutops is kinda meh.
>>56921630enjoy your 30% win and 20% draw rates
>>56921630>free thinkerI copy decks someone else figured out>post your off meta deckpromo mankey saved itself but hopefully, we get a promo primeape or primeape ex, even though a no ex deck is nice
>>56921788
>>56921358just like in real lifeinorganic pose and camera angles
>>56921788Arbok/Weezing is considered “off-meta” and yet my winrate is 70%+ with it
>>56921786>>56921784How many should I include? Will one suffice?
the reward for achievements being shinedust and not pack points or even timer reducer things is fucking horseshit.i really hate how much the game doesn't want you to play the game portion. no way to dismantle cards to craft new ones, you rely solely on opening packs for crafts and the rate is pretty slow for the useful cards.i get they want to facilitate the trade function they plan on adding but i just think trading in a digital tcg is cringe. i dont know. i just want to make fun decks but my luck is so poor i have like 60% of any functional deck.
>>56921720>off meta>articuno
>>56921782In most decks that they're in, they're "basic" fodder Pokemon that do not get tutored with Pokeball, making your Pokeball more valuable while also being a fodder body if you feel you "need" it. They also evolve into the fossil Pokemon, but the only one that seems to really see any play is a one-of Aerodactyl.
>>56921806You don't really need them unless you run EX heavy decks, like double Articuno.
>>56921759>>56921758Ahh I see, so every time you do a stage there's just a chance for a card to drop and the harder the stage the more likelyI still haven't beaten the most difficult one. All those EX cards are brutal and starting EX especially is fucked. Was thinking of maybe using snorlax and then chansey to just tank hits while I fuel up mewtwo ex
>>569217061 kanga as i want meltan in hand as close to 100% as possible
So how do I find the upcoming tournaments? I'd rather play in the larger ones.
>>56921806My opinion is that you should not use any fossils in your deck unless you also are playing Aerodactyl/Omanyte/Kabutops. Personally, I do not think the "fossil tech" is very good, because it only protects you from turn 1/turn 2 threats against bad decks.
>>56921782Free retreat mons that pwn Sabrina without fucking up your opening hand and pokeballs. Some people play aerodactyle but I see no need for that in Mewtwo at all. I'd really only play it in Mewtwo and Moltres decks though. Maybe Veno I could see them being OK. I still can't believe how many people play an extra basic in Mewtwo. It's so so so so so so bad lel. I have NEVER not once EVER wished I had another basic in my deck.

>know that I can’t really complain>past few dailies have been decent>got two full-art rapidash in one day, for example>yet I still seethe at the all common, dupe packsThe worst part is that I desperately need vulpix/ninetales, yet the game won’t shit em out. Budget deck, my ass.Doesn’t help that I’ve been burned by several wonder picks with 60+% odds of a positive outcome, all within the past 48 hours.
Why does Giovanni not deal 10 damage to enemy Pokemon when your attack flips a double tails for 0 damage?
Should I go for Starmie EX wonder picks? I feel like it's a waste of 36 hourglasses to try and fail 4/5 of the time.
>>56921848https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/pocket-legends-league-7/details
>>56921855Don’t spend hourglasses unless you spot a really good pack (40-60% chance of success, minimum). I would try to pick up starmie ex through some means. The card will age very well if we get solid stage 1 support.
>>56921842>thoughbeitPlease stop using your reddit language here. This is not reddit.>Fossils are literally required in MewtwoNope. Regular Mewtwo is better (a bigger wall that you can also use as an attacker), Jynx is better (a bigger wall that you can also use as an attacker, which can randomly blow up decks), and even replacing that card with something that isn't a Pokemon is better.

I keep seeing this shit here and just assumed that they were all esl-retards.To be honest, I don't know, but it came to 4chan out of the blue sometime earlier this year (or maybe late last year), and it just keeps gaining traction, and it sounds very Reddit to me.

>>56921941That picture absolutely does not have Pokeball, and I otherwise think it's a decent list. I don't know the breakpoints of that specific deck, but it's possible that Giovanni doesn't really do much either.

Enjoy not hitting m2 and gard as often as possible with your trash. Enjoy getting raped by Sabrina. Never EVER have I needed another basic or wanted one, and I have like 75 percent win rate against the field, mainly losing to exclusively weezing arbok and Blaine. I almost always win my mirror matches (usually because I play better than my opponents and because their deck has useless basics added). I almost always get Pika into a spot where they have to flip 3/4 heads w zappy ex. I win consistently going first despite the large disadvantage. I am so confident in my list that I'd bet large sums of money on it being the best deck in the game if you could somehow develop a bot that simmed millions of matches w every possible deck. Only thing I'm not sure of is to play 1gio or 1pot. >>56921870I saw it on /g/ and have added it to my vocabulary.

Can someone explain why my Dragon deck gets stuck on one type of energy? It's so embarrasing I can't even take the deck into versus like this.
How fun is a dragonite deck
>>56921954my electric is kinda shit too. I was thinking of just putting the zapdos out on the bench and changing between a chansey and snorlax as need be as both shields and ammo for the zap
The rate of hourglasses in general is too low, they should be multiples of 12 every time and then gradually lessen after months pass, that's how other gacha do it, launch is supposed to be very generous since if it's this meh now then walking things back later on as gacha naturally do is going to get unbearably dry
>>56921968did you manually add the other type in the deck builder?
>>56921969>>56921968
>>56921953>I'm from the newfag generation 07, so if you're not a certified oldfag, lower your voice when talking to me.I am genuinely and sincerely an olderfag than you. If you are truly an oldfag, then I don't know why you so quickly adopted what sounds to be clearly zoomer Reddit language. I'm an actual oldfag and I don't even wanna say shit like "cap", which has been around for much longer and at least has roots in the "boomer" lexicon. >Your opinions on m2 are bad too for obvious reasonsI disagree, but post your exact list. I'll start playing yours instead of mine. I'll make a post in a day or 2 if I think it's actually better. I've already tested the fossil tech out and every time I had a fossil on field I always wished it was any other card, but maybe your list is different or I had a bad run.
>>56921968because the energy you get is random. which means theres a chance you get nothing but water energy for several turns. just how in the non pocket TCG you can draw nothing but energy for several turns
>two zoomers trying to convince the other they're oldfag
>>56921969sometimes you get bricked because you're missing a lightning/water energysometimes you can kill an ex and a benched mon in a single turn and win the gamesometimes you'll deal 200 damage to a benched basic shitmon and your opponent's ex proceeds to 2 shot you
>>56921989I have old 4chan pics on an external, but they are from 2008 at the earliest, not from before 2007, so they wont prove that I'm an olderfag than this fossil guy is claiming to be.
>>56921971>my electric is kinda shit too. I was thinking of just putting the zapdos out on the bench and changing between a chansey and snorlax as need be as both shields and ammo for the zapi don't even bother. I just stick to the intermediate deck and one of the two matches a day i get a promo pack. even the advanced deck is too cheap to beat easily. my best deck is zard/moltres so there's no way I can use that in it.
>play 4 matches>only one thank youjesus christ, what happened?
>>56921977I deleted the deck and will remake just in case; it didn't always have such a weird problem.>>56921985It was predictible like clockwork for most of my time running it through all the solo battles.>>56921969I don't have much to run alongside my dragons while they charge up so I just have 2 payday meowths to grab me cards quicker and porygon.Having a Persian would be desireable for extra delaying and maybe for the energy knockoff potential.It's a very all or nothing deck.

I've been logging in less and less since the free sub ended and this doesn't help. Venusaur event is in 2 weeks right? Hope my interest doesn't completely die off before then.
>>56922013I'm not even the one who tried to pull the oldfag card, anon, the fossil guy did.
>>56922017If they don't improve hour glass rates I think a lot of people will stop playing. There's just not enough to do right now but open packs.
>>56922011>God, autoplay's AI is so fucking dumb.>oh no, your mon took a little damage>time to switch out to this starter mon that will get one shotted the next turn
>>56922023>If they don't improve hour glass rates I think a lot of people will stop playing.Personally, I think pack hourglasses are fine.The thing they need to change is Woner Pick hourglasses. That shit needs to regen much more quickly, and it also fosters growth/community/retention in the game. If you could Wonder Pick more frequently, you'd be logging into the game more often to check Wonder Pick, you'd be playing more PvP to acquire more friends, and the devs could even rig it to give you the EX less often and people would still gamble, because getting the good card on a Wonder Pick feels a lot better than pulling a card from a pack.
>start of match>Opponent puts down 2 cards>i place Hitmonlee instead of Machop in the active slotPottery
>45 wins complete>Solo mode done>Every deck worth making is madeNow what?
>>56922023>If they don't improve hour glass rates I think a lot of people will stop playing. There's just not enough to do right now but open packs.yeah once you reach the wall in solo match rewards there's nothing to do waiting for free packs. I find myself only logging in 3 times a day. once for dailys twice for packs.and since we only pull 5 cards, giving us 3 pulls a day or more hourglasses isn't gonna break the game

>>56922046i wouldnt be complaining if i actually had the deck completed, trading when???
>>56922043What the fuck is the point of dust? I have a trillion dust already, I don't have any worthwhile cards to use it on since getting Dupes of EX's is insanely rare
>>56922049>trading when???i don't even think they know how trading is going to work. haven't seen anyone talking about data mining in regard to trading.
>>56922043>15 xp per winthis needed to be at least 3x what it is to be even remotely viable means of leveling upand considering that there's a 50 level cap and you only get 1 pack per level up that's still extremely stingy
>>56922023If you pack open too much, you'll find that the game is boring as shit when you're not hunting for cards that you wantGrinding battles is not fun when the meta is shallow
>>56922055The only thing they've explicitly stated is that trading for rare cards will come at a later date...meaning the ACTUAL trading people will care about won't happen come January, we'll still have to wait.
>>56922049>trading when???January.
Your binder is popular.... Right anon?
>>56922065>The only thing they've explicitly stated is that trading for rare cards will come at a later date...so trading for commons will come before that? so they're gonna stagger trades? lol>meaning the ACTUAL trading people will care about won't happen come January, I'd think much later. like we'll get trading starting three months after launch.they already know they've got us by the balls and we'll wait for crumbs.
>>56922001why would you give someone who beats you more tickets?
>>56922077Normally it's a nice gesture for a good game, but if I'm being honest, good games are rare in either form of the PTCG.
>>56922052You might in the future.There's also always the small possibility trading will use it, at which point it's immediately important.

Use them to time walk your opponent when setting up m2 energy on bench. When you're down to just m2 and fossil obviously pitch it so Sabrina can't get them an easy point, etc. Play like 5-10 matches and report back. To me, it's obviously the best way forward, mainly because you maximize your % of but draws while also protecting ralts from a sabrina, which is extra important against pika where piks kills kirlia one shot too.

>PVP winstreak event leaked>need 5 win streak to get an emblemwow such riveting events from Pokémon© Pocket©thanks DeNA©
>>56922226Actually not that bad
>>56922150>This game is quite skill intensiveI'm not going to say that you can't outplay your opponent because you definitely can... but this game comes down to whether or not you go first. If you go first, you lose. If you go second, you win. Sure, your opponent can misplay, sure your opponent can whiff their draws, sure you can make the one clutch play that you could make to win you the game, sure you could get a lucky/fortunate/well timed Sabrina for the win, sure your opponent could lose all their coinflips, but generally, if you go first you lost, and that's the game balance.
>>56922222you just kill the moltres, then sabrina after to kill whatever shitter's sitting on his bench. it's not that hardalso checked
Found out that flair unlock can only be used on one card. Super shitty since you can have 2 in a deck.
https://www.twitch.tv/ursiidayAnyone else gonna enter? I really thinking about entering since I think my deck is probably stronger than most I've seen.
>>56922239yeah this game is so half baked it's crazyI thought something was up when the obtain flair menu said "owned: 1"
>>56922236Not him. You’re being a little hyperbolic. Going first is generally very bad, and I do think a lot of games are decided by that initial coin flip. Just going from my own experience with meta decks, I think mewtwo wins just about every time vs pika when the pika player is forced to go first. However, there isn’t a single deck in the game that is consistent enough to always win based on initial turn order.Going first just doesn’t have a reasonable benefit in a meta where evolutions don’t have a lot of support. Might get a little better with time.
>>56922241why is she naked
>>56922241if you want to enter then go for it. she says you need to stream if you reach top 8 so have something set up just in case
>>56922266don't care. bout to sign up. I have a few deck ideas I think are really good
>>56922270How do we stream?
>playing shit deck >losing almost every match >nobody thanking me This system is shit enough to make me want to quit
Oh look I fixed it.
going first is a meta-problem not a game-design problemI will die on that hill
>>56922280idk, Im not a streamer.
>>56921877and yet I play against mewtwo ~10% of the time. Curious.I really think people are just bad, with time people will improve at the game. It's swarmed with casuals who don't actually know what they're doing yet, even in the event queue
>>56922289You’re halfway right. The game lacks consistency / firepower when it comes to stage 1 and 2 mon. Make that stuff better, and big basics have more competition. Most decks would really appreciate better turn one options.
>>56922286if you're silver or gold then sweaty nerds probably think you're wasting their time if you're not playing pika/mewtwo/zard
>>56922287I like this. Also Wheezing effect should be able to be used on the bench!
>>56920108GOOD LUCK FOR TOURNAMENT
>>56922305>Wheezing effect should be able to be used on the bench!That would just make Weezing an auto include in every single deck.
>>56922289what meta exactly? your wincon for every single deck so far is draw beatstick, stack energy, opponent concedesit's a meta in that you get to pick one of 3 or 4 beatsticks but everything else is the same save for a literal 10 point different in damagethis game is a gacha first and gachas barely require "skill" so much as financial illiteracy
>>56922305I knew brapfags were deranged but status never affects the bench, not even weakness.
meta this meta that you ever met a girl?
>>56922289>we need to print a million more useable Pokemon that have >100 hp and an energy cost of 1, are playable turn 1/turn 2, possibly even with an ability (i.e. more Weezings)>we need to print a Misty/Brock effect in every colorThat's what you're saying. I don't necessarily disagree with you, but that's what you're saying.
>>56922328
>>56922305It'd become too easily abusable at that point.
>>56922328meta? I hardly know her
>>56922289I agree in the sense that I don't think they really need to change anything about the core system. It's just that the decks and options are so barebones right now that stacking energy on a basic EX mon is naturally the best strategy.Evos and supports are almost irrelevant right now (except for a lucky Misty) and that's the one thing going 1st has over the other player. So as we get stronger cards and more options, going 1st is very likely to get better as a result, so I don't think it's a bad system.
>>56922287Somebody stop me from crafting muk. I feel like a one off in the Koga deck might actually be good as a final resort finnisher.
Bow.
>>56922350I was waiting for Muk for a long time, finally got it, and winded up cutting it to just stick with Weezing/Arbok lines. Some people may use it, but I find it not worth it. It's hard to get into place and once you do, hard to get its energy up to attack. I'd rather use Arbok + Sabrina positioning for aggro pushes since Muk is too much of a sink to the point that it feels like a winmoar instead of a win con.
>>56922350Get Nidoking instead.
>>56922313you realize breakpoints are incredibly important, if pikachu did 80 the game would look a good bit different>>56922331not exactly more weezings, more exeggutors, something that can trade hits and not just die, maybe with a little less randomnessreally, if all the stage 1 40 attack guys had more health, that'd do a lotmisty is a game design problem and shouldn't be replicated, brock is balanced due to his supported mons being shit
>>56922370>not exactly more weezings, more exeggutorsWeezing appears in the current metagame and Exeggutor does not. There is a reason for this.
>>56922376because weezing has type advantage against one of the most common decks in the metagrass has the advantage against... marowakhe's also pretty hard to get off the board once he's there, which isn't always a positive
Misty is balanced because you can just will the Tails to happenIf the opponent is trying to will the Heads, you just have to will harder
>>56922398>because weezing has type advantage against one of the most common decks in the metaNo. With every single post you are proving that you don't know wat you're talking about. First off, the problem *is* that going first is almost an auto-lose. I genuinely think this is what he game is "balanced" around. Second, Weezing's type advantage has very little to do with its prevalence. There are decks that run Weezing and do not include dark energy, anon. He's a very good wall that either deals lasting damage or causes the opponent to switch out, and he doesn't even need energy to do it. And then, when he's low, you can Koga him out, deny your opponent of a point, and lay him back down, making him a reusable wall that denies opponents of points and also deals damage and/or forces a switch even in decks that do not turn Dark energy. If you believe that going first is fine as is and that the real issue is a meta problem, then (as I already said), you are necessarily saying that there needs to be more energy-related Trainer cards, possibly even a "Black Lotus" effect, or there need to be more Weezing analogues. Or, they need to introduce something to the game that we don't have yet. If you do not agree with one or all of these statements, then you are forfeiting your position, because those are the only solutions to your position.
>>56922407>Need misty to win and get tailsShe's trash >Need misty to win and get headsshe's balanced. There's no in between.
Boy now that the premium ended I'm starting to really dislike the 2 pack a day cycle, I'd rather not get 2 free packs a day and instead get more storable pulls aka HGs, it feels like a nuisance to have to pull and then see I get nothing, when I could store what I want to do a committing dig when I'm ready
>>56922437>the gacha wants you to spend money
>>56922437Yeah I don't know why people say we should be grateful for 2 free packs a day when the devs could just give the same equivalence in the form of HGs to stockpile instead, which would be far more valuable since they could be directed and allow for tactical pack point buildup when you see something incredibly rare you want in the future.
You fix Misty by only letting her target Starmie and Golduck.
>>5692246624 HGs for the daily login instead of 2 packs at opposite parts of the day would definitely make me a lot happier, feels like they don't want to allow us to prepare with how poor the HG trickle is
>>56922479This doesn't even solve the problem because you still die T2 to Starmie EX in that case.
>>56922415running weezing without dark is a giant meme, you're just setting yourself up to get swept by a charizard or something like thatyour view on the game is wholly tainted by the current meta and you can't even get that right
I haven't gotten a new card from wonderpick in the last dozen attempts and it's making me feel bad
>>56922482Regular Starmie, not Starmie EX.
>>56922496Wonder Pick is just a bonus roll for me, if I relied on it I wouldn't have anything.
>>56922499Then she would be an entirely dead card. Normal Starmie only requires 1 energy.
>>56922496There's a card I want in WP right now and I'm so scared to try for it because it costs 3 and I can already sense I'm going to wind up wasting the stamina after spending all that time regenerating it, already got burned failing a 4 stamina earlier that made me feel like shit.
Is this deck still likely inferior to the one that runs Weezing?
>>56922513>Then she would be an entirely dead card.Good, she can join Brock.
>>56922483>running weezing without dark is a giant memeIt is a viable strategy due to Weezing being good. Is it optimal? I don't think so, but it's possible, and it's not even bad to do it. >you're just setting yourself up to get swept by a charizardThere are a million examples of instances where something is bad, just like there are a million examples of instances where something is good. >your view on the game is wholly tainted by the current meta and you can't even get that rightI don't believe that's true at all. My view of this game is that it's a game that is literally designed for women and children to play, and that it isn't even trying to be balanced, and that the game is full of coinflips for a reason, all the way down to the coinflip that decides who goes first (and likely loses) each match. I think it is an integral part of the game, and I think that if you go into a match and you see that you flipped heads and you're going first, I don't think you should auto concede, but you should realize that you are fighting an uphill battle that is already against you, so when you lose while going first, you shouldn't feel bad because the game was literally rigged from the start. I think that if you're playing Pokemon TCG Pocket as if it's the same as a "more serious" card game, you are doing it wrong, and you should just accept that we all live by the flip and die by the flip, and that the game is "balanced" around it.
>>56922437Speaking of, just got another dead pack of nothing but repeatsWhat a dumb systemYeah I'm mad, there's reason to be
>>56922352>my opps flips>my flips
>>56922508I only need about 20 more cards to get Mew and I'm still missing a lot of the rarer cards, but at this point nearly every pack is duplicates and not even any ex's or star rares. Hopefully trading makes things easier
Reminder that when you’re sleeping you’re missing out on godly wonder picks.
DeNA if you're here, please please create a system that converts unopened daily packs into like 6HGs as long as you're logging in and trying to save you still get something out of it.
>>56922544missing out on failing* godly wonder picks
>>56922544what do you think the rewind clocks are for?
>>56922552You don’t get to pick every expired wonder pick
>>56920108I lost my first round. First match did a bad Sabrina that costed me the match.every match I never got pokeballs or a second basic so I'd just lose turn 2 or 3 to a Blaine boosted attack.Not sure how many more rounds I can lose but this was some of my worse starting hands.
>>56922526How does weezing dragonite work? You just don't attack with weezing?
>>56921811>>56921836Do they count as basic pokemon for Pikachu Ex's attack?
>>56922570You just stall with Wheeze Koga until Dragonite is ready.
>>56922572>Do they count as basic pokemon for Pikachu Ex's attack?They aren't electric, so it doesn't matter either way, no.
>friends are nearing completion of the Mew goal>I'm over here getting bombarded by the same cards over and over againI don't even think getting Mew would make me feel happy for too long since it's a hard 1 of that isn't even all that good, so I don't know what to do with my account anymore. Like some of you said, we're forced to open packs instead of saving toward the new ones, so it all just feels aimless.
>>56922580Pay 2 win babyyyyy
>>56922570Getting stuck with koffing while waiting for a weezing sounds pretty awful since there wouldn't even be any energies for it here.
>>56922526My opinion on Meowth is that he's nearly always bad. He's always used in some big setup deck that wants to build a Pokemon in the back, i.e. he steals an energy from whatever you're setting up. He can help you draw into your plan, but if you have your plan or were going to naturally draw your plan, he delayed it and gave the opponent a point, so at the end of the day, he steals an energy and gives the opponent a point. I don't like him.This isn't a game like MtG. Meowth isn't an "Ophidian". Energies aren't the same as lands. If you could play Meowth on turn 1 for 1 mana, and then on the next turn draw a card while still being able to play 2 energy, that would be fine, but in this game, even 1 energy can be massive game-winning or game-losing tempo, and Meowth isn't just drawing a card in exchange for stealing energy, he's likely giving the opponent a point and he doesn't really take a hit, and he doesn't really deal damage, and I have personally never seen or thought about evolving him into a Persian.
I love playing arcanine, somehow I haven't been curve stomped by M2 yet
>>56922526drop the snorlax and the pokedex, add another sabrina and a red card
>>56922580I get it. My game seems to think random 2-diamond (uncommons?) are the rarest cards in the set.
>>56922604The Persian is acting as deck filler, but also as a potential way to stall another turn for setup by evolving, especially if I have a potion. It has a unique ability built into the attack but realistically that would almost never see use.With these dragons I find that there will be times where cat is just in the position to equip an energy to first and it can't be helped. So if I already don't have my dragon at least I can still do something to help me get one faster.Weezing if I had another one to build with would certainly be useful but Koffing looks even more useless than Meowth.
>>56922226I had a 6-win streak when I started playing. Never got more than 3 after that.
>>56922182>talks about stuff you only think about and never did
I feel bad for all my friends that get my dogshit packs as wonder pick, almost makes me want to unfriend people since I feel like I haven't contributed in ages
>>56922580Maybe start opening different packs and using your wonder picks on cards you don't have.
>>56922264Even if evolutions were more popular going first still wouldn't be worth it. If your evolved pokemon needs 2 energy to attack you're still fucked. Unless you do Misty.
>>56922642That sure would be something to start doing if I hadn't already started doing that long before you told me...
>>56922308Make it only usable if Weezing has dark energy attached?
>>56920108Is the Machamp deck any good? I kind of want a playset of this cool art version but I don't really want to chase it if it's bad given how rare it is.
>>56922655It's okay.
>>56922533look it doesn't even have to be a charizard, even the pikachu deck can just charge up it's zapods' and whatnot then run you the fuck over, whilst your fat blimp is sitting there farting for 10 a turnit's bad against any sort of optimized listsuccessful gamblers play the odds, you don't understand the odds, you don't even know how the machine is riggedI'm not saying this is serious, no children's card game is. you're annoying.
>>56922549This lmao
>>56922655Having to evolve twice to be a raw damage unit that only deals 120 is pretty bad, maybe a Bruno Supporter card could amp it up but as of present there are many better attackers.
>>56921811They are still a free point for the opponent. Wouldn't it be better to use any other stallmon?
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. That Wonder Pick with the FA you've been eyeing? It's not going to move into your inventory on its own.
>>56922667>even the Pikachu deck, which is already very good, can flip 4 heads on Zapdos and one shot anything in the game>it can even throw away 3 energy to one shot Weezing with Raichu>it can even, wait for it, it can even hit with Pikachu twice instead of just onceWow... that's uhh... that's definitely an argument, yup.>whilst your fat blimp is sitting there farting for 10 a turnit's bad against any sort of optimized listWhy are you being retarded on purpose? Weezing is a multi-purpose wall that is reusable if you run him with Koga, and he doesn't even need you to play his energy colors in order to do what you want him to do, which can also cause problem Pokemon to switch out. That's why Weezing is good. I'm going to remind you that this conversation what about whether the "issue" with the game is that going first sucks or if it's the meta. To anyone who has ever played a card game before, the issue is clearly that going first sucks and personally I think that's a design choice to "balance" the baby mode game made for babies. You're saying the issue is the meta. I said that if you think it's the meta, then you necessarily must also believe that we need more free energy cards in every color or even maybe better energy cards, and/or also more Pokemon like Weezing. Weezing is great, fits into any deck, is a reusable wall, and helps counteract the downsides of going first, because he also has 1 energy cost if you're running him on color. You offered up Exeggutor, and that's just not true, because Exeggutor doesn't see much play, because he's not as good as Weezing, and he gives the opponent 2 points. You need more Weezings, not more Exeggutors, but now you've lost what the conversation was, and you're trying to say... that Weezing is bad or something? I don't even know. You're lost. >successful gamblers play the odds, you don't understand the odds, you don't even know how the machine is riggedIt's rigged that if you go first you are likely to lose.
80% chance of fail btw
Still lost the match btw
>>56922714>red card
>>56922707This. Don’t use your hourglasses for a 20% success unless you’re looking at a 2star that you need / want (completing a set). Pulling a specific 2star has about the same rarity as pulling any crown rare, and the 2stars are locked to individual packs.
>>56922680machamp's biggest strength is that he has reasonable power whilst ramping up, he doesn't have to hide on the backline. machoke is leagues above the usual intermediary stage 1.you can also soften up big targets you can't oneshot with hitmonlee, those usually start on the backline
Is venu weezing good?
>>56922723Weezing is best when used with dark energy. Better Pair Venu with some cheap bulky grass type like Egg.
>>56922717>unless you’re looking at a 2star that you need / wantI feel like just crafting it would be more efficient.
>>56922716Is red card bad? I have 600 cards so far but not a single Sabrina so maybe I’ll replace it with that card if it ever turns up.
>>56922526replace pearsian and meowth with chansey and or lapras
>>56922723I did my 50 wins for the medal with Venu/Weezing and it's pretty good. It has some complexity to it which makes it a real fun deck.
>>56922701yes, bad players exist, as is evidenced by your poststhere also exists a regular exeggutor if you didn't know, which would be the more obvious parallelwhatever man, you win, I'm done talking to yougoing first is a 100% death sentence and weezing is an impenetrable wall, these are immutable factsyou've got it all figured out

>>56922783congrats on discovering the only deck that likes going first (and <10% consistency for that exact hand and combo)
>>56922768>there also exists a regular exeggutor if you didn't know, which would be the more obvious parallelIt's beefier, but you can't Koga it, and I think it's probably dumb to play it without running green energy, whereas Weezing just works and the poison (which doesn't require energy), is a lasting effect that requires a switch out on problem mons, lest they die to whatever you're cooking in the back or maybe even just die to poison. If what you're saying is that the meta need more Pokemon so that going first doesn't suck, you need more Pokemon like Weezing that actually do things. For example, I think that Butterfree is kinda close to a Weezing, if it wasn't a threevo or had a different attack. I think Hypno is kinda close to Weezing. You could maybe even throw Magneton in there if his attack didn't cost 4 energy. If you think the meta is the problem, then I think you need more utility mons (or more trainer cards) like this to help the action/energy economy deficit that you face when going first. Exeggutor doesn't really do that. >going first is a 100% death sentence and weezing is an impenetrable wall, these are immutable factsI did not say either one of these things, nor are these things the premise of this conversation. You first said that you think the meta is the "issue" with the game rather than going first. No matter what you think, this statement reveals that you do acknowledge that something is "wrong" with this game, but through talking with you, I seem to have a better grasp of what you claim your opinion to be than you do.
starting to think this game is not itfinished building a long project deck a few days ago but started feeling an emptiness again after playing with it for a bit, not really having fun after all that work
>>56922825What deck?Hopefully new modes and cards breath more life into this game.
>>56922822
>>56922825lmao samei finally built a venu ex deck, played 3 games with it but feel and felt empty the whole period
>>56922604I've won a decent number of games thanks to Meowth. You do need to know when not to use him, though. It's the same with any frontline staller in a backline-heavy deck. I win the game if I get Blastoise to 5 energy, so I always have to weigh the possibility of that vs. the potential damage my Seaking or whatever can do in the meantime.
>>56922832charizard, just got the 2nd immersive recentlyI like the cards themselves but when it comes to the playing it's not what I thought, especially since the best part of the deck in charizard has to wait on charmander and charmeleon (and moltres) to finally get going, meaning most of the time I'm not even enjoying the charizard but instead these other cardsthe charizard portion of the battle is so small because he just comes out to win quickly, meanwhile being on the other cards makes up the main portion of the battle
Hi. Question, the event stamina itens.Should i use It, or i can save It for next event???
>>56922868Use it before it ends.
>>56922701It's not that going first sucks. It's that going second ROCKS. Every time you go first, your opponent gets to go second. 90% of the cards in this game are way stronger when going second. Even if you prefer to go first, your opponent is having the time of their life.I have multiple decks that actually prefer to go first, but it's still easier to win going second, because my OPPONENT'S deck is going to fold like a wet blanket if THEY have to go first. I can build my deck with as many Rapidashes and Clefables as I want, it's still going to be easier to kill Pikachu and Mewtwo when they're 1 energy behind.
>>56922868Chances are we wont get the eventglass for the next even so unless you haven't gotten the cards you wanted I say save them. I spent all of mine when I was in the mindset we would get a new stack for the next event.But >>56922871 is also a possibility, we don't have enough information to make the best decision.
>>56922883tldr: going first sucks
>>56922888For your opponent, not you. So it's better to go second to make them experience the consequences of their poor deck building.

>>56922655180 HP and 120 unconditional damage will tear through a lot of things, the problem is being a Stage 2 EX that you want to keep on the bench until it's time to evolve because even starting from Machop, they have high retreat cost. If you want to play Machamp, in my opinion, it's mandatory to have at least two sets, it feels really shitty having your only Machoke or Machamp at the bottom of the deck. Support them with Hitmonlee to disrupt the opponent's bench and maybe one copy of Primeape or Sandslash.
>>56921617You can use it without Muk, but it bears noting Muk is your heavy hitter. Weezing+Koga+Muk does 120 damage plus poison.
>>56922749Red card is good but it's the hardest card to play properly.
>>56922655Never played it, but it seems good to me in that every stage is useful. You're not stuck in a situation where you have to protect your mon in the bench until it's useful. Machop and Machoke both have decent hp and attack while having low energy costs. You can just keep ramping up. As long as you draw in the right order, that is.
>>56921483You'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.
