thread bakers are total chads btw, very underappreciated
>>56922825>only startingI realized this within the first 15 minutes of tutorial. It's a shitty cash grab with a greatly watered-down pvp game underneath it, which is balanced to make players spend more money.
>>56922822Anyone else join the tournament? I got cheesed by a Blaine deck then a pika deck that kept drawing full bench
>>56922865sounds like you'reburnt out*presses button that plays a laugh track*
>”work”lol you log in twice per day for 1 minute to open free packs. what work?
>>56922862Blaine looks fun, gonna try making a deck tomorrow. Cheap fast poks sound fun.
why is ursiiday dressed like that?!
>>56922889Shes boring so she has to grab your attention somehow.
they need to make it so you can see the wonder picks of people who sent you a thanks
why play this when pokemon tcg already exists
>>56922859>cash grabnormal people don't spend money on gacha, if you're not having fun in pvp it's your own fault
By far my luckiest 10 rolls so far.
>>56922889She’s apparently a pretty serious player but I just can’t do egirl streamers, their whole getup is just so unserious and cringe
>>56922872well it's definitely not like other pokemon games where you enjoy the final product of the buildup (charizard) as your default, since every game is spent redoing the evolution and that gets tiresome since I mainly just care about playing with charizard itself>>56922882are you esl? there's a term called 'working toward a goal', it doesn't have to be literal work of going to a job, work just means deliberately progressing
>>56922907Damn, pack 2 got cut.
>>56922902>normal people don't spend money on gachaquestionable statement desu. for some gachas the only people more retarded than the ones paypigging are the ones who grind the shitty skinner box treadmill for hours on end to get 10% of what spending 5 dollars would do. not that I'm saying you should spend money on them, naturally you should just find a better game, but when you're essentially "working" for 20 cents per hour there's nothing noble about not paypigging.
No Thanks! because my opponent didn’t get a second Starmie by Turn 3? I will love it and think I deserve
>>56922907That's incredible and I'm happy for you that it paid off but in general you shouldn't be doing 10-rolls. It's not like there's an inherent benefit to sinking so many resources at once like in other games that offer a bulk multi pull discount.
which emulator bwos
>>56921132Glad to know you're finding success. I think just being fast gives you good matchups. You can beat Pika, Starmie, and Mewtwo decks really easily with a good hand. Did you play the Exeggutor version?
>>56922889>>56922911think she just likes cosplay.. pretty sure she's won tournaments before
>>56922915
>>56922929isnt pure beedrill venemoth better
>>56922926Bluestacks works for me, you have to set the graphics renderer to Vulkan.
>>56922926mumu12Bluestacks is shit period, LDPlayer is good, but MuMu was recommended for this game and it feels pretty light weight. I might like it more than LD
>>56922916If you consider clicking a button """""""""working""""""""" then it makes sense why you would paypig.
>>56922907>>56922939That's a lot of Blastoise
>>56922947Yep, crazy.
>>56922822Finished my Mewtwo ex playset. Now I just need 2 Ralts and 2 Gards to accompany my *4* Kirlia and I can play this metafaggy deck.
Still the best rogue deck
>>56922946let me explain it for someone of your iq.in this game you need like 50+ wins at level 18 to get a single level up pack..50+ wins probably takes 3 hours give or take. buying a pack is like what, 1 dollar? it's just ridiculous that someone would rationally decide that's how they'll acquire packs when the game stops hsndin them out (instead of just taking a step back and only turning the game on for the freebie every 12h for a while)
>gacha spergs losing their mind playing a tcg for the first timeClassic
>Recent Thanks drought >Realize most of my non-meta decks are some variety of cancer It’s probably my fault for playing in the sweaty queue but it got me thinking about it - what even constitutes an “honorable” deck in this game? I feel like even Dragonite, Weezing and Blaine can cause people to rage
>>56922964Is Venusaur considered a rogue deck? It's what I play and I feel it's a lot more dynamic than "wait for Gard to feed" or "put Moltres in and pray to the coin" or even "my friends are literally my power". Misty need not apply, of course.
>>56922985I play machamp and get thanked almost every gamehe's a man of the people
>>56922941I don't know, is it?
>>56922999Yeah I feel like fighting or grass is probably a good shout
Does DeNA ban for emulators in the other Pokemon game
>>56922822why arent Any of you in the Tournament?
>>56922999Post list! Love machamp, I don't have ex yet but I have 2 regular ones, and not risking 2 prize cards feels nice, and I am not sure if the extra health and damage is worth it. Also, I don't know if I'm running the rest optimally
The fact of the matter is that going first gains you nothing and going second gains you extra energy.
>>56922926mumu12. I trued bluestacks and immediately uninstalled when I saw how aids infested it was with ads up the ass that literally take up 50% of the fucking window while you're playing. Anyone who recommends that is a fucking retard.>But anon, you can disable ads in the settings!Or, just download an emulator that doesn't make you go through extra steps just to properly play a fucking game. Bluestacks is also fucking excessively bloated for no fucking reason, the ads probably add to that shit.
>>56922964Did...did weezing just fucking poison gas that blondie?...
>>56922985Most honorable is probably if the deck looks fun/homemade, followed by if you seemed like you were a good playerI don't really check thanks until after a bunch of games, and usually I'll have a bunch, playing koga or off meta homebrews usually, I had several games stalling past the last card in my deck and still got some thanks
I dont thank Misty players simple as
>>56923029>i dont thank misty players>isnt a misty playerWhy arent you a misty player?
I clicked outside of the thanks button by accident and felt badly afterwards, especially since the guy thanked me.
What's the most fun non-EX with a FA? Gyarados?
>>56923029Same. I thank everyone but Misty. I'll add to the variance of their deck's consistency by not giving them a Thanks; the more of us do this the more it's like an additional coin flip at the end of the match since they love coin flips so fucking much.
>>56923041
>>56922862>>56923007>the tournament>the Tournamentwhat tournament?
>>56923009what I'm doing is definitely not conventionaloff the top of my head it's2x Machamp ex line2x Dodrio line1x Hitmonlee2x Oak2x Giovanni1x Sabrina2x Pokeball1x Potion1x Red CardIdea is to get everything into oneshot territory for machamp, then clean housethe extra stats on the ex definitely matter in my opinion
>go first>might as well concedeThey will patch this right? They gotta do something
>>56923041Depends on what your playstyle's like. Do you like setting up a big guy with big boy damage? Dragonite or Gyarados. Do you like getting that one Destiny Draw and obliterating your opponent's creature in a sudden turnabout? Blaine!Rapidash.Do you want to punish your opponent for setting up *their* big boy? Alakazam.Do you want to probably lose a lot, but guarantee your opponent gets salty when things go just your way? Ditto.
>Want Snorlax full art>Creeping thoughts of "what if it's not top right?" worm their way into my mind>Still pick top right because it's the way>FailMy belief waned, and I paid the price.
>10 butterfree>1 lapras exNice odds on this shit event.
I like playing beefy monsters in card gamesI have been eyeing exeggutor or melmetal, anyone have experience with these decks?
>>56923018I had a game vs Weezing just now that I lost in large part because I went second. I got to attack first with a piddly 20 damage attack, amazing. He was chunking me for 50 damage per turn from his first attack.
>>56923069Scizor EX with 60BP 1-energy Bullet Punch meta, ability converts Scyther’s grass to steel
>>56923073You see, brother? You see what letting your soul get seduced by the false path leads you? Come back to the light, brother, and you shall not be left wanting. While the Top Right heretics may tempt you with their false promises and alluring pictures, it is only through the sincerity and sanctity of Bottom Right that you shall truly find the way to your most precious desires. Yearn not for the shallow satisfaction of the false road, but stand firm in the belief of true faith.
>>56923077weezing melmetal is good
>>56923077Exeggutor is extremely versatile and will age well because of how strong it opens, you can build whatever you want with it
>>56923096That'd make for a passable deck but nothing great. Far from what you'd need to redefine the meta even a little bit.
>>56923041Alakazam, Omastar, Victribell, KINGLER, Aerodactyl.
>>56923077Melmetal isn't unplayable, but it's a tad too slow in my opinion. While the ability is nice, I feel like you give so much space to the opponent that they'll be able to set up too much for it to be more than a gimmick.Eggs on the other hand aren't bad at all, especially with Butterfree. Eggs are made to be set up fast and hit hard to pressure the enemy from the start and you can either have Butterfree for extra sustain mid/late game or sack the Caterpie for more Grass search to accelerate the beggining.
>>56923077If you want to build around eggboi, I've seen lists of him + butterfreeMel metal is pretty solid into most decks, but you get shit on by mewtwoBoth pretty fun if you like thick dudes tho
>>56922966>>56922916No one would think about grinding levels for the hourglasses>>56923006They don't ban them, since no emulators are able to run the game lol
really enjoying this deck. is there any better way to get a full picture of your deck? only way I found is 25% zoom low res upper part of the screen
>>56923118mumu works though
>>56923120>no erica
>>56923069how would you do it
>>56923122i don't have erica or egg ex
>>56923124player who goes first gets energy for the first turn that then disappears after turn end
>>56923124>person who goes first does not draw a card>all else is equal
>>56923077Exeggutor is the only grass deck I have because I mostly opened Zard packs, but the general strategy was to keep healing it with Erika/potions hand and pray you win coinflips.Once it's done, sweep the weakened mons with Victreebel. Its ability is like Sabrina's effect but you're the one choosing which mon to switch.
>>56923060https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/673002120947ec3b5d19dfcf/pairings
Alright, listen, if we're talking Steel (and Johto, which seems the natural step to take next) we've got these options:>Forretress>Steelix>Scizor>SkarmoryPersonally I'm hoping for my boy Steelix to get an EX. That makes Brock less shit, too, which is a bonus.
>>56923041Pidgeotto is also pretty underrated, and the Nido senpai line if you like them
>>56923115melmetal is fucking cancer. Guy I played in tournament kept flipping heads on everything. Misty, Mawile, hypno. literally can't even do anything fucking pay pig
>>56923134>making going first even worse?
>>56923154He obviously means that both would or wouldn't get an energy
>>56923108Finally got one of my chase cards in the form of Alakazam AR, what are some good decks for him?
>>56923124I'll go with preventing player 2 from using trainer/item cards on their first turn(aka turn 2).
>>56923154retard
>>56923146Well, luck can elevate any deck that relies on it. I still think Melmetal is too slow and gets bodied by the tankier stuff, like Blastoise, Venusaur, Zard, etc. but yeah, disruptors like Hypno can easily fuck anything up with enough luckchad.
I can see the light..
>>56923124Either give turn 1 an energy and don't let it attack or don't give it energy but don't let either player attack on their first turn.
>>56922822Know wwhat would serve the lizardfuckers and Misty players right?Mimikyu.
>>56922889She's a whore and the only way she can monetize her existence is by being naked. Wanted to tune in to watch a match while waiting for my next one but this bitch is too busy trying her damndest to turn trading cards into softcore pornography. Looks so uncomfortable the entire time that it could never be hot, really pathetic stuff.
>>56923160I like Weezing + Zam, but anything beefy and cheap would work, like Kanga or Clefa.
>>56923174Only 8 victories left, anon. You can do it.
>>56923134The card disadvantage means nothing. The player who goes first should get energy on his turn 1, but he shouldn't be allowed to attack like in YGO.
>>56923138>ForretressI think he and Pineco will just be high hp fodderAlso has the awkward Grass -> Metal jump and they probably won't give him or Pineco a colorless move>SteelixSeems good, but once again has the energy issue>ScizorI feel like he's the most gimpedI don't really think Scyther will get a new version soon>SkarmorySkarm has the most potential as a Steel basic exWith good stats (100 hp, 2 energy 90 attack, 2 retreat, or 150 hp, 1 energy 40 attack, 1 retreat) or a good ability he could be a force to be reckoned with and would help Steel set up
I won two games in a row because their Dragonite flopped on the hits and because my Zaptos hit 3 coins with Giovanni on.
>>56923169It wasn't luck. I've heard rumors there's some way to always get heads with misty and this paypiggy actually landed heads every fucking go. This should really just be auto flipped.
>>56923185this desu. or no energy turn 1 but 2 energy turn 2 to compensate
>>56922935Every single woman TCG player is mediocre at best. Every single one. Sorry, I don't make the rules. Blame God.
>>56923174Do you get something for 45 other than the emblem itself?
>>56923206She's won tournaments though. Have you?
>>56923209shinedust (lol)
>>56923204Those rumors are lies, he was just lucky
>>56923217shut the fuck up. sick of you retard niggers sitting here arguing or saying wrong shit constantly just for attention. kys tranny
>>56923107that thing would handily push pikachu and mewtwo out of the meta if it were a thing
Imagine playing a Pika ex deck and losing to a water deck.And as you can guess, didn't send thanks.
>>56923204You need to throw the coin hard. Try to make it so it reaches the top of your screen. That way you will get heads more often than not.
Has a woman ever won vgc or tcg worlds?
>>56923228Startrans isnt honorable
>>56923185Then pika just wants to go first instead lmao and you niggers will complain about that, it'll be even worse since you can't evolve your tank before they attackGoing first /second is like the longest running debate in like every tcg possible, and there's actual advantages you can do for either depending on your deck building in this game, this shits soft af
>>56923212Yes. Not in Pokemon though. I was pro at Yugioh, MTG and Poker.
>>56923228Neither would I, mistyfag
>>56923223but enough up about tards like you>muh secret coin flip technique
>>56923185>The card disadvantage means nothing.It certainly doesn't mean much. That's the point.
*oneshots you*
>>56923242kys your retarded virgin faggot tranny.
>>56923237I also fucked your mom and she said you were shit at card games. She said it's the drinking, so you don't have to blame God for being retarded

>>56923278Taking too long for new cards
I only send thanks when I win
>>56923206I remember I was at a MtG draft one time. My deck sucked because I took money cards instead of good cards. The first match I was up against some girl I had never seen at the store before. I got fucked repeatedly by my draws, mulled to three (3), and I still won because she was just trash.
Which pack has Machamp?
>>56923302Them 'zard packs
>>56923300>>56923206my gf has literally beaten multiple people in this thread at pocket duels...I have pictures of her beating some of you...

>>56923292last night, $10 for a round with your mum
>>56923312transgf right
>>56923274I'm saying you niggers are retarded spergs and might as well be bitching the sky is blueIn case you're too stupid to tell, your problem is the decks you're playing against not the system, where the collection is small and the strongest decks want to go second since they don't need to evolve at all
>>56923325Not trainer gf. she doesn't have misty yet.
I make all my moves almost instantly I already know if the duel is won or lost depending on every single card interaction and deck strategyI cannot ever get upset therefore upon losing and winning is only a mild satisfying sensation
>anons didn't get the cards they want and are now taking it out on each other
>>56923328>>56923274Can you retards who never done a tournament stop talking about meta this meta that? How about you met a girl
>>56923340Gottem!
>got my second rat to complete the rat deckWonder Pick ain't so bad for now
how would you nerf misty?>limite it to 1>give it a max 3 energy limit
>>56923365Make it Brock and only work on Staryu, Starmie, and Lapras or something like that. And only 1 energy.
>>56923365Make it so it just gives a flat 6 energy to any any water pokemon you choose.
>>56923365only works and staryu, stamie and laprasdone
IT'S OVAH
>>56923375This. It's gonna be a pain to balance future water mons otherwise.
Think we're gonna see cards like the Team Plasma cards
The games already boring. The devs arent dropping content fast enough. Theres nothing to do but login daily for the free packs.
Post your decks.What kind of teams do you use?I get so bored just playing Pika ex and Mewtwo. I have more fun with Dragonite and Zard.
>>56923365Player dies irl if it pops more than 3 heads
>>56923389retard
>>56923384I would expect Rocket way sooner, but yes. That kind of thing is a staple.
I just donated 50 USD to ursiiday
>>56923312I'm not saying girls can't get wins. It's a high variance card game. I'm just saying I've never seen a girl be truly excellent at a TCG. Poke is a bit of a different story with a few exceptions I would say are genuinely great. In MTG at least though, they weren't good.
The thing about the First-Turn-Bad discussion, is that most of what you can do to make going first better just reverses the problem. The meta becomes stage one beaters with 2 energy that can oneshot opposing basics. The solution is to make more cards like Misty (in the sense of energy cards you have to hard draw, not in the sense of high rolling-auto wins). This creates variance in whether first or second is good. Right now, going first decks are fine but there are few ways to build one, primarily executor, rapidash, and wheezing
>>56923365What makes you think misty is something that currently needs to be nerfed? Maybe is starmie gets a good partner we can talk, but as of right now, its solidly tier 2
>>56923406To be fair, how many girls are going to be comfortable around the typical spergs that populate trading card locals / regionals? I loved my local card shop growing up, but I never once questioned why girls weren’t there.
>>56923378Your aggro bugz decks seems neat anon. T. Mewtwo fag
>>56923404Why? Would could have gotten 5 packs of cards instead.
>>56923406I think it's just a sample size thing. TCGs appeal less to female brains in terms of fun, strategic 1v1 competition with a clear winner or loser isn't copacetic with chicks, girls usually prefer team oriented activities with constructive outcomes that are less focused on overcoming others. Its like there STEM problem in academics, it's just that less girls are gravitated towards those topics in the first place, not that they can't be great as well. Kinda similar thing in the field of Chess
>5 in a row >5 in a row >5 in a row >5 in a row OHNONONONO
>>56923393I'm making non ex or dual type decks and then trying to optimize them.
>the same discussion about first turn againIs every thread going to be like this forever? I'm telling you guys, it's an intentional design decision that first turn loses. That's what the game is "balanced" around. It's not going to change. I'd love to be proven wrong, but it's a non-competitive game for children. Going first is exactly the same as Smash Bros. Brawl's tripping mechanic; it's there, intentionally, to discourage taking the game seriously.
>>56923425Only 5? I think I can do that, but I know I’ll seethe at some point.
I won
>>56923404If you were f2p beforehand, this still counts as losing that v card.

>>56923408>Farfetch deals 40 damage turn 2. >executor, rapidash, and wheezing>deal 40-80 damage turn 3>Farfetch deals another 40 damage turn 4Farfetch is a basic that you can just get turn 0, deals guaranteed damage, and doesn't require 2+ cards to function. In the best case scenario people keep talking about, going 1st still sucks.
>>56923425ahh duel links my old friend, I always knew you would come back
>>56923365>how would you nerf misty?Limit it to 4 flips. Or, reduce the mon it works on to 3 mon.
>>56923438>I wonDid you though?
>>56923415Truth. Kek I remember the horror on my ex's face (very attractive woman) when she met up with me at a small 5k event in a hotel ballroom. Dude Lmao just everyone staring at her. >>56923423I personally think that girls are just less math/strategy inclined to being with. My ex did calc 3 in senior year HS, but she has to counter of her fucking fingers to do arithmetic. She was very intelligent and high IQ (though not enough to stay away from me kek) but she just couldn't into math on a very visceral level. She's still got an A in calc 3 tho.
>>56923451>no uRiveting.
>>56923461Fuck
>>56923393>What kind of teams do you use?Pic related. It's the only high-end deck I can really build with what I've pulled.Trying to build a mewtwo deck but so far I have 1 ralts and 1 mewtwo ex.

Goddamn dragonite
>>56923425I did this my last 2 days grinding, once each day, so it shouldn't be too hard. Seems like Pikachu is the best to do this challenge BC if I play dark deck I'm going to lose 70%+ of the time it seems from my current data.T. Mewtwofag.

>>56923458you're trading a prize point for dmg brainlet thats the downside, and if you revenge the farfethd if they don't just retreat, the first player gets first attack on your new mon which is even more massive than farfetch first attack
>>56923434I don't see why any game with a winner and loser and game-impacting decisions should be regulated to a "non-competitive game for children"Are children even abke to paypig? I imagine manchildren (me) are the best for making money.
>>56923425winning 5 games in a row when the results are decided by coinflips sounds tilting
>>56923450NGL, compared to the MTG thots, she's way hotter. Good for her I suppose.

>>56923496>I don't see why any game with a winner and loser and game-impacting decisions should be regulated to a "non-competitive game for children"Take a look at how dumbed down the game is from the original. Take a look at how bullshit things like Misty and "going first" is.

>>56923511Game is like 2 weeks old sar plz understand. Regular Pokemon TCG certainty looks lots more complex. Obviously it's way more powerful but it's been decades of powercreep. I like this more than mtg arena and hearthstone though, so I'd say it's off to a really good start. (Speaking from a purely competitive standpoint)
>>56923515baby mewtwo is the pika and arbok/weezing slayer
>>56923523*Trump wrong gif*Fossils are the only way to go. Enjoy drawing mewtwoex and gard nut draws less often and simultaneously being worse against Sabrina for.... No benefit at all? Yeah sounds great. At least its not meowth/jinx/khan
>>56923527>(Speaking from a purely competitive standpoint)lolIn a game where going first often decides the outcome. I mean, I like the game. I think it's fun and cute. It is absolutely not competitive though, and it should not be treated as if it is a competitive game, because it's not. It's not a design flaw that going first sucks, it is an intended feature.
I just beat all the solo battles up until expect and along the way i got all the cards for the mew two deck. Is it any good online? i'm about to finally try
>>56923515It has better tournament results than you
>>56923528I have no issues beating pika 70%+ Arbok, though, rapes me 70%+ though.Still, in a tournament setting I'd just hope tondodge dark the first 5 rounds or so and let pika capture those insta wins.
>>56923537LMAO where's your tournament wins fossilbro
>>56923540how autistic?
>>56923547Pikachu doesn't insta win vs weezing
>>56923541Best deck in the game IMO. Just learn how to play well. Took me about 100 matches to feel like I'm playing at an absolutely elite level. >>56923540Maybe it's just because I'm playing a real deck (m2) but I win all the time going first
>>56923550I think the fact that I can realize that this is not a competitive card game and should not be treated as if it's a competitive card game makes me less autistic that someone who thinks it's competitively viable.
>>56923541its pretty good, you'll do fairly wellgood luck anon!
>>56923549>>56923551It seems like it would, but I'm still waiting on 2nd Zapdaddy ex before I play Pika myself. From a theory POV, I don't see how it doesn't win at least 65% of the time tho.
>>569235412nd best deck
>>56923458Fartfetch'd loses that fight though. Exeggutor, Rapidash, and Weezing all have more HP.
I stopped believing in top right and this is what I get. I will literally never have an Erika trainer card.Frick off, I refuse to craft it
>>56923559So you don't have weezing deck or pikachu deck but stating facts about the match up?
>>56923556no i mean the threadly spam talking about it and unprovoked seethe about it while bros are talking about collecting cool cards and decksDo you know you have autism?
>>56923537>Fossils are the only way to goif you're retardedenjoy the dogshit worthless card filling up your deck that does nothing a jynx or meowth doesn't do better
>>56923425Duel required 11 straight with skill-based matchmaking, this is baby food
>>56923573He thinks that if you kill a fossil it doesn't count as a prize....
>>56923549Patience sir. I've been playing like 10 days so far. I come from pro MTG for 10+ years and you gotta understand that winning decklists don't mean optimal builds. Never have. Ten people playing a sub-optimal network deck mediocre have a better chance at winning a tournament than one perfect m2 player a an optimal deck BC of the insane variance.I have rarely in my TCG career felt so ahead of the meta with fossils and the other two times I had this feeling, I was proven right eventually.
>>56923568He's the armchair metafag who keeps talking shit about stuff he doesn't know about we see from time to time, just ignore him
>>56923571>no i mean the threadly spam talking about it and unprovoked seethe about it while bros are talking about collecting cool cards and decksThe "going first" conversation was already occurring and had been occurring in this thread before I ever made a comment about it. That's why I said "is every thread going to be like this?". It's funny that you're still mad about last thread though.
>>56923568Yes it's called theory sar. It will take you far. Been playing pro tcgs for a LONG fucking time.
>>56923575>>569234255 in a row What?
>>56923583>one perfect m2 player a an optimal deck BCExcept there's more than 1 fossil deck and they rank near the bottom of the 20 M2 decks in every tourny you "pro-TCG" larper
>>56923592another pvp event mode for the gold medal, 5 wins in a row this time
>>56923568Obviously we gotta take this with a grain of salt because people are fucking horrid at this game, but this is what theory suggests to me, and this is what the results are.
Erika is future proof right
>>56923587>It's funny that you're still mad about last thread though.>sperg can't identify anons and thinks im some bogeymanreally not doing yourself any favors dodging the sperg allegations anon
>>56923583>i-i'm a TCG pro bro just trust me bro my deck is the truth bro IGNORE THE FACTS AND DATAholy kek
>>56923603They might make a Super Potion or Hyper Potion at some point for 30 or 40 hp.
>>56923603nothing is futureproof in gacha
>>56923598Maybe they're awful idk. Im at 70-75% win percentage lifetime over 300 matches. The theory makes sense. It isnt up for debate in my mind, but it's great that we have have differing opinions and see who wins. You'll have a had time convincing me to gimp my deck with more basic though. It's pretty simple math on that front.
>>56923604>"yes, I'm still incredibly upset about last thread"kek
SUPER BUSTED HIDDEN TECNIQUETHIS IS WHY YOU USE HAND SCOPE!
>>56923618You ok?
>>56923571Jokes on you. I want to collect cute cards.
>>56923606I already said very clearly that historically in my career, the decks that won weren't always optimal. Tested with 2 high profile teams for over a dozen PTs in MTG and theyd always rely on theory when tuning decks and not just copying the 75 other winner unless the theory was there.
>>56923614Post your battle stats.
they really did this card dirty. its attack should cost 1 energy.
>>56923614>The theory makes senseYeah filling your deck with worthless shit that makes your early game slightly stronger (something Meowth does better, which isn't even a top M2 variant) is really good
>>56923624your "career" is a nothingburger and you and your theories are retarded>>56923626I know right2 diamonds my ass, some of the worst shit in the game
bros I'm not having fun
>>56923617I went and checked, are you talking about your spergout debate with someone else where you again were baiting about going first lmaohow autistic are you where you can't recognize you're talking to more than one person? You do know you have autism, right?
>>56923631Go ahead and read the starting hand rule and pokeball and get back to me dear
>>56923537>Worse against Sabrina120 hp fodder vs 40 hp fodder. Yes you can discard the fossil but if your opp is playing defensive sabrina vs you then you’re probably already raping them because of how Mewtwo decks plays
I like kabutops, does he have any good decks to grind wins with?So far i’ve tried marowak but don’t enjoy the coinflip rng. Also tried alakazam but it’s too slow and bricks 80% of the time
>>569236545-1 not bad anon, what deck were you on
>>56923657>no u lol!
>>56923601So you don't play the game and just point at charts and tables?
>>56923642First part is big truth. Second part is wrong. Sry I don't make the rules.
>>56923423No
>>56923662You're worse against Sabrina sir. There is no debate there. Free retreat + 1 point ifnthey pull to kill + I can sac it if they already have 2 points.You're welcome to play your gimped version of the deck though :)
>>56923614>70-75% win percentageWhat's your win percentage in tournaments? The worst players in this tournament are better than majority of players you'll find randomly.
>>56923561whats the best
>56923668>dodging the questionI accept your concessiondon't bite the sperg bait about first/second or uncompetitive anons, itll prolly spam like this for a while
>>56923671fun fact: this is also why man can turn into gooners
I hope they make a good version of ditto in the future. He'd have a niche if he didn't require you to match your opponents energy color to use him.
>>56923671But there are plenty of women who are smarter than you.
>>56923669I've been battling a bit. Just passed 300 matches today>that win percentage thoFossilGOD btw
>>56923685>he is so mad about last thread that now he's fake replying
>>56923626Or how about it does 40 damage with no effect
>>56923661You act like having a 50% of not getting M2 from your Pokeball (instead getting a different useful Pokemon) matters very much
>mewtwokeks all concede and run like the little cunts they are>pikaGODS stick it out and let me get my hard-earned pointsLearn the difference between metaslaves, it will help you make a new friend.
>>56923691Offended redditor offsiter
>>56923700... It literally does??You didn't do so hot in math class for you anon?
>>56923583You understand every meta assertion without results is just talk though, right?
>>56923228>paypiggy playmatI don't give thanks to your kind either
>>56923684Pikachu deck variants, probably Pikazeb or Pikaraithey typically go>Pika ex 2>Zapdos ex 1>Blitzle/Pika 2>Zeb/Rai 2and then the cards that work best with their respective variant
>>56923694>FossilGOD btwJust fossil alone or you using any fossil mons?
>>56923704But there are though
>>56923706Again, that's not true at the highest levels of MTG. Please reread my posts. Thoery and results are often aligned but also often divergent. With all the variance, the teams I tested with relied primarily on theory to tune decks. For example, we would play all 4x copies of cards and rarely play 3/2/1x. Often winning lists would have 3/1 and 2/2 splits but we just chocked that up to variance. Blindly copying lists without theory doesn't make much sense.
>>56923691If you're retarded enough to fall for the >Uh they just don't feel comftorable in those fields with all those pigs!!!argument in academia and media then you're retarded enough to definitely be overshadowed by "plenty of women who are smarter than you"
>>56923694what win percentage, how do you see total games
>>56923705You didn't do so hot in English, apparently.Just because M2 ex is your best card doesn't mean it's your only good card. A clutch Jynx or Meowth or M2 wins games. A clutch fossil doesn't. Play more and you'll understand.
>>56923724>>56923713Just fossil.2 mw2 ex6 ralts2 fossil2 pokeball2 prof oak2 x speed2 Sabrina1 red card1 gio/pot (still can't decide)
>>56923694Wait, these numbers don't make sense. How do you have 240 wins but only 435 points? You should have 720 minimum.
>>56923614Enter the egirl streamer’s next tournament with your fossils or we’re throwing you in the fucking air fryer, mewtwofag
>>56923734How do the battle numbers even work? I don't even know what they mean.
>>56923694>less than twice as many points as gameslol
>>56923723Okay but there are though
>>56923722MTG is gay and retarded like you LULE
>>56923121it fought well but displays an error then crasheskusomas seems unbreakable
>>56923726Post wins sar. I have NEVER had a game where I wished I had another basic. Maybe you could argue fossil should be potion, but more basics is godawful I'm sorry>>56923724Its so fucked they dont show losses. I understand why they don't, but it's still fucked. I just keep a notepad and write down how many matches I play during each session.
>>56923716Read the Bell Curve by Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles MurrayMen have far more variance in both upper and lower IQ while women average out down the middle more
>>56923722your theory ain't shit without tournament wins, its just you being retarded and delusional
>>56923750Okay but there areBecause a flatter curve doesn't mean they don't exist
>>56923734Mewtwo hard often locks people out and they consneed. Also, consneeding just saves everyone time. It's pretty insane they count points but not losses, but I get you don't want to upset bad players w that stat for making money
>>56923740Go back and stay there
there was a thing i saw of a poll for Jap people and their interests, and for the most part most things had some male or female interestYugioh was like one of the only ones with like 90+% male interestcard games are mainly for the bros, so if you find your card gamer waifu don't ever let go
>>56923734>Your opponent conceded
>>56923736When is it? I'd love to try to battle. Obviously I'm more likely to not win than win the whole tournament, but love to putnsome Ws up on the board.>>56923738... Ever heard of this thing called mew2-gard lock? It saves everyone some time to consneed.
>>56923741MTG was really good for awhile, but standard sucks now. Cube is still legit fun tho. Shame the masked trannies took over it.
>>56923751Post wins sar. Its not like I haven't been winning in the event ques. I'm not even sure how much better these tournament players will be since it's free to enter.
>>56923757I don't think I would play Mewtwo for the inconsistency (not opening Mewtwo or missing kirlia/gard) but more than any other deck I've played against as a Pikachu player, its really easy to tell if they've got you beat, and there's no counter play once they've got the setup. I don't know other matchups though.
>>56923777are there draft formats in pokemon? that'd be fun to try out
I put Electrodes in my Pika deck, they hit hard and it costs nothing to yeet them on the bench.
>>56923771Ursiiday’s pocket weekly, she hosts them every Saturday on limitless. That and the Pocket League tours on Sundays usually have the biggest and also strongest field
>>56923748>more basics is godawful I'm sorryPro players disagree.Posting wins is useless btw, you could have lost 260 of 500 games you play, here's my gold badge.
>>56923802Uhhh eto bleh or something

>>56923798You know roughly how many hours from start to finish they've been taking? I'd love to make it happen next weekend
>>56923802That fine. They're wrong and I've explained why and I'll try to battle some tournaments and see how they go but obviously an entire tournament has a duck load of variance.
I have 3 billion wins at a 100% win rate with my Slowpoke deck.
>>56923802I have played 304 matches according to my notepad, FWIW. I'm sure you'll just say I'm lying though so who care Lmao. I'll try to battle some tournaments.
>>56923812No you're not. None of those matchups listed have the same opponents as posted here >>56923654
>>56923825That's based. What level did that get you to?
>>56923820>They're wrong and I've explained whyYour explanation is full of holes.They're right because they actually won against the highest level of play, you're wrong because you haven't.All your "theory" boils down to is that "pulling M2 and Ralts first is good" like a caveman. It just shows a lack of experience.
One Lapras. One Omastar. One Kabutops. One Aerodactyl. 70% of my deck is made up of trainer cards. Lapras is technically the only basic pokemon I have so I start with it 100% of the time. Yes this deck works. The dinosaurs always win.

>>56923842Fucking kino image
>>56923858Rat.
>>56923852Honestly pretty luck based. Half the time you start with a weak hand of nothing but items and a lapras that hardly does any damage. You spend half the game searching through your deck for one fucking helix fossil. The other half of the time when you start with a decent hand and have good luck with card pulls, this deck dominates. If you can get the stage looking like pic related, it's already over for the other guy.
>>56923841O already explained why results doesn't automatically mean best build. Haven't seen one point of playing another basic mentioned that makes any sense. And maximizing your nut draw is the opposite of caveman. It's just correct.
>>56923886Post your tournament results
>>56923393Pic related is my main deck, and I also have a shitty/incomplete Pika deck on the back. I want to make more rogue stuff, like a dark deck (prolly Nidos) or something random (like Fearow or something metal) and put Weezing support on it. Hypno might've been an option too but I refuse to make coinflip dependent decks.
>>56923842Is lapras really the best Mon to always start with?
I finally opened a third Lapras, I was worried that I wouldn't open anyIf anyone needs a Lapras by the time trading opens I'll hand it over uwu
>>56923813They can last pretty long (5-6h) but that’s only if you’re still eligible for top cut, many people stop when they go over the loss cap
this bitch dont even know pokemon names
>>56923889Haven't played one yet sar plz understand. I'm sure the players will be so much better.
>>56923849>>56923845Will It disappear at the event's end? Is It somenting i can carry to the next event ? I can't find the info.Any good anon. have the awsers? Thanks in advance
>>56923875What in the WORLD is she wearing commentating this tourny..
>>56923904Gotta entice the simps to donate somehow.
>>569238965-6hr is totally reasonable. Big MTG online tournaments would drag for like 10-12 hours kek. I'll battle in this twitch thot's tournament sounds fun. Just gonna be clear though that my chance of winning the damn event is much lower than my chance of not winning, as per the nature of TCGs. Doesn't mean fossil mewtwo isn't the best. I'll try to play a few though so I can try to stitch together a nice run for you faggots.
post her onlyfans
>>56923904hoh my godhow do i get a gf like thisholy moly
>>56923904I thought this was just a coombait post but damn she really is wearing this rn. Crazy
>>56923886Having something that can actually attack that isn't your M2 ex is pretty useful. Not sure how you can't see that.
>>56923904She's an internet shore begger - pokemon simop farmer type. Plz understand SAR.
That's my GF you're insulting bros wtf...
>>56923925Tell your GF to fix her split ends.
>>56923900The Event Shop Ticket (Meowth)s explicitly say that they expire, while the Event Hourglasses don't. Ergo, the Event Hourglasses don't expire.
>>56923925Tell your gf to visit an Eastern Orthodox parish and repent
>>56923922I think you may be retarded, but I'll try one more time. Everytime you have that other basic to attack with, you could have had a real Mewtwo. There is no scenario where I have ever EVER felt the need for another basic. Double ralts games will still happen you're just more likely to end up with ralts + random basic which won't win the game as often as ralt + mewtwo ex. It just doesn't make any sense anon I'm sorry
>>56923921>you are so beautiful this girl
>>56923886im with fossil bro, adding more shit cucks the poke balls and start of game you need to hit, and having other shit for sabrina bait means you need to take turns spending energy or x speeds to get it out instead of your mewtwoi like one aero tho for ladder, tourneys i think its better to not run it when its mostly pikas
>win match see card of the game>flip back to kurobaex>try to explain fossils for the billionth time>flip back to Pokemon >you disconnected from match this will be counted as a lossUhhghhhhhh wut? Gay. I was gonna be 8-0 on the day and now I'm 7-1. It's so joever
>>56923564Just craft it, broseph. The moment you do, you'll pull the second one from a pack (lesbians attract each other) and you'll be good to go with the playset.
datamines this week bros... trust the plan...
I guess, to be fair to non-fossil anon, of I have double ralts drawn and 3 mewtwos in my deck, I now have better chance of drawing a relevant basic, BUT fossils can usually just soak up an attack to get another turn, so actually that also doesn't make sense kek.
I masturbated to she
How come we have the fastest threads in /vp/? Was /vp/ a TCG board after all?
>>56923935Post your tournament results.
Lol this is the biggest MTG thot, post-bimboification. She is absolutely MOGGED by this Pokemon thot.
>>56923935Is chip damage just not a thing in your worldThe fact that you can't understand why you don't always want M2 out doing business in a game with Pikachu and Starmie is hilariousChip damage wins games, you want M2 to be freshThe fact you run two fossils (something no one who wants to win does), and can't understand why you would want other basics is something else
first time actually playing a Mewtwo deck with a 3rd non-ex mewtwo and it’s everything the mewtwofag describes his fossils as, genuinely opens up another dimension for the deck entirely
>>56923972i was looking on boards for pocket discussion, tg vg, and my first visit to vp was for these threads
>>56923985this, its the only consistent place for pocket unless you want to make a thread on /v/, even the /v/ thread are slow as fuck
>>56923968>BUT fossils can usually just soak up an attack to get another turnin exchange for a point
>>56923978Funny story about this whore. Trannies took over MTG, so naturally she became FtM tranny. She then realized the simps didnt like this, so she decided to be a woman for her day job (Internet begger) and a man in her off-time. What an absolute trainwreck of a human being. So glad my buddy didn't fuck this nasty white when she tried to fuck him. She ended up cancelling her bf at the time for rape and abuse? The dude was like the nerdiest basedboy mfer in existence and she constantly cheated on him. Ain't no way that dude hit her.
How many years do I have to wait for an Acerola card?
>>56923984>it’s everything the mewtwofag describes his fossils asyou get a free retreat?
>>56923996>>56923983My meat shield is 2nd m2 sar. I understand very well the control strategy against pika, starmie, and often the mirror.
Jeff /ourguy/ HOOGS is the best pocket player!
>>56924000No wayDid all that actually happen lol
>>56924015>>56923996Indeed. Good thing they need 3 to win so I can wall up with both fossils and still m2 them to death
>>56923972>>56923985What other boards have pocket threads? this one has too many faggots
Giovanni seems like he's gonna get powercrept first out of all the trainers
>>56924022only /v/ every now and then
>>56922902Possibly, I don't really find competitive coin tossing fun.
>>56924015Hoggs was always streaming god awful MTG decks lol. He's a nice guy though. (Kinda) >>56924017Yep. Allie Warfield (now Skylar) and Dylan Hand. Kek
>Finally completed my Pika DeckAbout time. Now i'll just open the Mewtwo pack for the funsies until the mini set comes
Won't be doing wonder picks before long lmao
Just got the last thing I needed from Mewtwo packs. Do I go with the lizard or the rat now? Which one has the biggest casino sink?>>56924024+10 damage is easily the shittiest one. I'm just running him in case my opponent's openers have 60 hp and I can snipe out a Charmander, desu
>>56924024He's barely needed now but is good filler. Once the 10 power breakpoint ceases to exist (mons have more hp) he can be replaced, easily
>>56924039Rat IMO. Pika is the other t1 deck
>>56923983i always plan to sack my first m2 for dmg vs pika/star for the revenge kill, and 2 m2 is pretty consistent if you're a fossilbro
>>56924044I literally almost never lose without zap 3/4 heads on coin flips. Anti-fossil bro is just delusional. I tried the extra basics and they sucked asshole.
>>56924039Rat for better decks. Lizard for waifu cards.
>>56924035You lose nothing by doing them so i don't know why you would stop. Unless you already have every single card
can you guys stop talking about the game, and post more of ursiday
>>56924015at least the chick has her tits on full display, what does this guy bring to the table
>>56924083this but misty getting dom loss
>>56923913I'll try to join you too Fossilchad for next week.A fellow fossil believer,I'm 5-2 rn due to never drawing Kirlia in my last game in an aggressive matchup, and I had to fight uphill since round 1 had me against a Koga deck, which I also only lost due to bricking KirliaI have won all of my Mewtwo mirrors so far (basically all of my matches really), definitely due to fossil in some of those matchups, and generally outlasting them bo3 due to my better consistency, and yes I did go first plenty of times and still 2-0'd them.
>card of the game - Farfetch'dmany such caseswho else here /leek/pilled?
That girl seems to have very nice simps, lol
>>56924087Hoogles would play goofy decks well in MTG and is kinda an asshole but in a good way. No idea he played Pokemon these days, but I'm sure he's up to the same sort of stuff.
>>56923921Nothing crazy about it. After seeing two decades of attention whoring it's expected.
>>56924043>>56924061So Lizard is where the FA Sabrina comes from? Hmmm...>>56924105Sorry anon, you got the wrong thread for leaks. You want >>56911860
>>56924061>not wanting FA MistyI don't even play water decks, but I'd love to have a full art Misty instead of the TWO FA Surges I equally don't use.
Will the event Hourglasses expire at the end of this event? If so that's very scummy for them to not tell us that.
>>56924134The tooltip for those hourclasses are generic unlike the meowth tokens, so i don't think they will
>>56924134Doubt it. Not only because they haven't said anything like you said, but the next drop event (Venusaur) has already leaked. So they have another event like this one in the works, it'd make sense to use the same currency. The real question is if we should save some stamina for when the next events launches or if they'll give us a full tank when it starts (doubtful).
>>56924152its like 11 days apart, stamina will recharge anyway
>>56924170Ah, you're right. I didn't keep an eye on the dates. Well, I was already squeezing everything from the Lapras event anyway, so it changes nothing for me.
>>56923365yeah, limit it to one energy attachment, and while we're at it>Starmie EX's attack cost 3 water energy and its HP is now 120>Add Pichu, change Pikachu EX to evolve from pichu in order to play it
What should I spend my tickets on as a new player? Support cards like potion?How do I get trainers like misty/giovanni etc?
>>56924187>expecting balance>in a gacha***** KEK (UR)
you WILL buy more packsyou WILL buy more pokegoldyou WILL continue to roll for your full art waifu cards
>>56924193the shop item cards you insta buy most of them for your second copythe trainer cards you just have to hard open in packsgood luck anon!
>>569242315 dollars for a 10 pack roll on black friday and 30% off gold bundles... idk.. im tempted...
>There are people burning copies for flairs with trading incominglol
>>56924237Subscription's cheaper for more packs a month
>>56924246Oh no, my common cards!
>>56924193do the advanced missions first. Then do all of the solo battles.Pick a deck you want to build and only pull packs from that pack until it's complete. Use wonder pick to help get missing Ex. Use craft to get missing support cards.You can buy an extra pair of potions and pokeball from shop but a free pair will be given to you for completing tutorials and advanced missions.
>>56922822This deck was so scary
>>56924015Whoogs?
>>56924258I'm still missing some common cards myself even with 697 owned cards and spent all my crafting points. The rng's fucked
Good account to start with? Or should I keep trying
>>56924277EXeggutor is the sole reason I run Gio in my Mewtwo deck, otherwise I get stomped by it everytime.
>>56924231>you WILL buy more packsNever bought any.>you WILL buy more pokegoldNever bought any.>you WILL continue to roll for your full art waifu cardsYes. I'm cucking myself out of a 2nd Weezing in my deck (only have 1 Koffing) because I'd rather risk it for a chance at full art Misty.
>>56924300Yeah I'm at 1gio rn (fossilchad BTW) because of eggs weezing and dragonite
>>56924289it's decent, but... go for gold crown if anything
>Friend ID Sheet hasn't been updated since the second day it was outDon't remember when but it's been a few days
>>56924289you got the chase cards but no zards, 1 moltres means that its probably ok especially because blaine is f2p
>>56924322easier (for me) to add people who actually post in the thread, desu
Oooooh, I didn't even realize there were hourglasses for the Lapras event thing. Each one gives you 1 game.
I love my Meowth/Blastoise deck. Got x2 full art cards for both Meowth and Squirtle, including stardust/bubble effects. I'm still pulling for the alt-art Blastoise since the art reminds me of the Sumo Wrestler looking sprite of the GB era.
I assume there will be Gold Crowns in every pack? Who will be in the next pack? Tyranitar, Celebi, Typhlosion/Feraligatr? Azumarill?
>>56922822https://www.instagram.com/ursiiday/reel/DCOu2qqKXa0/
>>56924388Anyone's guess desu.I hope it's Typhlosion, Suicine & Lugia personally
>>56924341Useful if you still need 2x of one of the promos, but it may be worth holding onto them for the next drop event. They don’t seem to have a timer / expiration date.
>>56924388Ho-oh, Luigi and some other shitter. Lock in the set for Celebi.
I would want a crown Tyranitar but I also feel like 2nd stage mons aren't really given a chance to shine in this game which sucks. They're just win cons who end the game within like 2 turns once they're out, so you don't get much actual playtime with them. I think it was a mistake to make battles end at 3 prizes.
>>56924388Celebi will be mission reward like Mew
>>56924414This is what I would expect, assuming the set is Johto based. The immersives for the Ho-oh and Lugia have a lot of potential.
>>56924398Nah, I'll just go for flair.
>>56924425>>56924414Excited to see the miniset because of this. The current mew(only one exists for this, you can flair it like you can flair the season pass pikachu, no dupes needed) is pretty much just a flex, unusable card. Will they add in another mew, playable mew for the miniset? Surely there just can't be one single mew in the game.
Would you guys actually spend HGs on the next set? I feel like I'm going to fall into the trap of constantly trying to save because of fear they'll leave the trickle dire and I'll be underprepared for the following one.
>mewtwo gets yamcha'd
>>56924414>Luigi
Any dragonite chads
>>56924463I fully expect the moniset to give us new supporters to work with. And I definitely will want those if nothing else. I suppose it depends on if our pack points will work on the miniset. We'll have to see.
>>56924476>Dragonite >chadI have nothing but respect for people who willingly play the worst deck in the game but I wouldn't call them chads.
how future proof are the current decks?Just placeholder stuff that will be cast aside in a few months or do they have any longevity?
>>56923931Fair enough.
>>56924489Gardevoir and Moltres will likely see play until they rotate. Support mons like that are all but immune to powercreep
>>56924316>>56924324The one I wanted most of all was that Sabrina, and this is the first time she showed up in my reroll efforts (if I had to guess between 40-50 rerolls so far).
>>56924489Depends on the kinds of cards we get. Something like Charizard could be better than it is now for instance if we get stuff like evo/energy acceleration. Buuut it could also be worse than it is now if we get way more 210+ HP mons that are meta before that happens. So it can really go either way depending on what they want to actually put in.
>>56924489I'd like to think that Alakazam will only get better, but that's assuming a game state where energy acceleration and attack inflation exists. Alakazam already one shots (everything?) except Exeggutor. Mewtwo is pretty fast and one shots most things. I think Pika EX is most likely to get phased out first. It's really good early game but it doesn't one shot a lot of actual threats, and Nintales with Blaine already kills more things than Pika does.
>>56923785No. Not in the same way magic has drafts though. You’d have to heavily doctor a cube and the rules to make something akin to draft playable. Let me know if you wanna know more, phoneposting sucks
I think charizard has too much hp. Should be 150 tops.
>>56924534Relax there Mewtwo
>most likely won't be able to trade the Promo cardsI have 8 Lapras just sitting there.
>>56924534Seething Bonehead
>>56922822I'm sick of Pikachu decks. next week I'm counter picking Pikachu.
pika pika!
>>56924553SameIs the guaranteed shop ticket worth the farm? I've been doing them anyways, just curious
whats a good alakazam deck
>>56924538>>56924555OK, then give all other pokemon more hp, so that there's more than a handful with over 200. Third stages should have this.
>>56924595Mewtwo and GardevoirIf you run out of space, cut Alakazam.
Should I spend my event hourglasses so I can get the rest of the wonder pick hourglasses, or hoard them for the next event? I've already got EX Lapras, I'm just not sure if there's a reason to hold onto them or if I should spend them for more wonder picks.
>>56924596Game just started, they'll pass the 200 HP line in due time, they just wanted to balance the 3 pack bosses by giving them different advantages and weaknesses
>>56924623Considering that there was more than enough time to get everything from this event and have hourglasses left over, I don't think there's any need to hoard them.
>>56924596His HP is fine, if anything is the problem it's moltres or the fact that charizard does 200 damage in a game where the highest hp stat is 190.
>>56924487Where does the Dragonite, Kangaskan, Aerodactyl deck rank?I only play against random shitters in the match making system, but I have a well over 70% win rate.
>>56924651>70% win rate with coinflip pokemon gamble chad. I play dragonite and tentacruel and that feels pretty consistent with half the time tentacruel doing all the work.
>>56924650Lowering his damage would just make him a bulkier Mewtwo, so to keep his identity I think making him more fragile would be better.
>>56922822I busted out of the tournament. too many retard Pikachu players. Pikachu isn't all that great but zapdos is way too tanky and 1 energy attack is hard to deal with when I'm taking super effective damage.
Can Dragonite's attack actually hit a target more times than necessary if there are other living targets around? Reading his attack it seems like it should pick targets first and deal damage after all 4 are chosen, but every time I was on the receiving end the splits were never wasted.
>>56924699he can overkill stupidly, ya
>>56924699Ain't nothing quite like seeing that 200 pop on the random <50 HP bench warmer
>>56924699it's random yeahat least it's a guaranteed 200 across the board...... i guess?
>>56923228>staryuStones in glass houses.

So is rerolling not a thing in this game? Was opening the Charizard packs at the start and I keep getting the same rolls (the first pack you open).
>>56924770The very first pack the game gives you always gives the same ex pokemon for the pack you pick and a small selection of the same pokemon. After that very first pack you start getting random shit.
>>56924770First pack and first wonderpick are predetermined alwaysThe second pack you open can be anything
>>56924770You are restarted.
>>56924770Rerolling is not only a thing, but it's 100% the thing you should do. It's just that the very 1st pack you open and the very 1st Wonder Pick are controlled. I wouldn't have as comfortably stacked an account as I do now if I didn't reroll like 20 times until I guaranteed the spread of cards I wanted. I can't imagine relying on the fleeting hope of the day by day packs coming through to give me what I want.
>>56924788>>56924791>>56924794>>56924799Thanks
>>56924799I think restarting is a waste of time. Since most people restarted without even finishing solo battles.
>>56924596the literal point of games like this and duel links is to start low-powered, then gradually work your way up to the stupid bullshit later on in the tcg
>>56924812Doing all the solo battles takes too long and slows you down. I was figuring out where best to restart from and recognized that I'd only touch the battle section if I got some of the cards I wanted, but if I didn't get everything I cared about I'd reset anyway after doing the tutorial --> solo battle mission.
>>56924799Maybe if you absolutely wanted to run a specific meta deck, for most people who don't care about playing T1 decks what the game will give you is fine. That said, depending on how open trading ends up being I think it'll be worth it to make an alt to pull more cards to get to put more decks together.
>>56924825I'm rerolling for card art.
>>56924835godspeed f2p collector anon, godspeed
>>56924825Even if you don't want a top deck, it's still absolutely in your interest to reroll at the start to at least lock down a playset of your favorite FAs like double Machamp or double Gengar or double Sabrina or whatever else. It's better to ensure what you want the most and then just start your collection from there since at least you know everything else you could live without anyway to let it be in RNG's hands.
>>56924825Rerolling is nice in this, takes about 10 minutes to roll like 10 packs and mumuplayer makes it nice so you can reroll multiple accounts at once
>>56924665Literally just there to stall until you get dragonite on the field.Though, I've won games with Aerodactyl. Most Mewtwo players just rage quit when Mewtwo gets pushed off the field.
>>56924812Restarting is good but you should get both 10 pulls first.Over 20 pulls is only a couple battles if you know what you're doing.
>>56924893Aerodactyl seems built to make mewtwo/charizard players rage quit after their 4+ energy turbo dickhead gets knocked back into their hand. I might have to try running it for the next event
>>56923378Venomoth looks stealth OP. Single stage evolution, 1 energy attack that poisons, 1 retreat cost, and it's grass so it benefits from erika
>>56924929it is literally just weezing but bad, erika doesn't do anything cause it has 80hp
>>56924929it's only okay. It's not as tanky as tentacruel or weezing and doesn't have the benefit of hitting as hard as tentacruel or the support of koga and being able to poison for no energy like weezing. Erika could heal it, but 80 health isn't a lot, especially for a stage one pokemon, so it's more liable to die before you pull her. Honestly almost everything grass type is pretty underwhelming to ex venusaur and ex eggs
>>56924929i actually like the theory of the deck, don't have the cards to play it but veno i like for those reasons too, obv it gets cucked by pika but it's not terrible for applying pressure as a basic stage 1 mon
>>56924929Give it a try with Wigglytuff. It could work
>>56924852>>56924823rerolling is a waste of time. So many of you are rerolling ever day for the last month, but if you just kept playing, you'd have most of the cards already. >>56924894
>>56924967>So many of you are rerolling ever day for the last monthWhat the hell are you talking about? I got the account I wanted in a matter of hours. Don't be a nutjob fusing people together in your mind. Not to mention, your picture doesn't even apply to this context since the point is getting what you WANT not just trying to get everything.
I'm thinking bottom left is the play when it comes to wonder pick
>>56924967dawg it takes like 2 hours to get an account you want to keep by rerolling
>janky mewtwo mirror where we end up having to play chicken with our mewtwos because if he sends his out, he loses to a revenge kill, 2 ralts in the active >I slip up playing passively and he makes an excellent play to snipe my fodder ralts with his garde >Finally get my Garde but I’m too late in the damage race, only hope is to send in Chadactyl and pray>Sends his Garde to the moon and I get to make the exact same fucking play with my own Garde on his Ralts to winI would be livid desu, put a Chadactyl in your deck today and asspull your way to victory
>>56924987I want everything.
>>56924967>take a bit of time to reroll for the thing you really want most of all>happily play for years>just rush in and start playing and "have most of the cards already">quit after 2 months because "fuck bro I should have rerolled now I'm never getting THAT"
I wish I could run a fossils team but even if it wasn't a terrible idea from pokeballs not working alone, I can't imagine how you would mix a water/fighting type team and make that work.
>>56925006You'll never have me.
>>56925018No. While you're here making shit posts, I'll be joining tournaments and trying out different things. Have fun rerolling again.
>>56925018if you get most of the cards in 2 weeks of play, rerolling is pointless because you WILL have all the cards eventually. At worst your stuck wonderpicking for a 1/5 for the cards your missing until they add trading at which point you should be able to get everything you ever need.
oh shit, wiggly time
>>56925021fossils will be meta soon bro trust the processjust not playing them together
>>56925032>have one godpack luck in a lifetime>get thisohnonononon
>>56925032If I got a god pack I'd coom.
>>56925038wigglytuff will be meta when the new jiggly promo comes out trust the process
>>56925032Friend code? That's a WP candidate god pack.
>>56925032meta shift incoming anon, get ready to put that deck together.
>>56925043Wiggly is already meta, sleep is vastly underrated by the TCGP community hivemind
>>56924943>>56924953Sure Wheezing fulfills a similar role but thanks to the burst healing from Erika it can basically win any early game 1v1, and thanks to it's 1 retreat cost an xspeed is almost as good as a Koga
Tied with a million other people for 20th place but didnt make top cut, problem with losing round 1 is that your opp win% is trash for the first few rounds
>>56925074>beating any early game 1v1>when ninetails, marowack, starmie etc existit's fine, but their are other options. Even for grass types, there's more of an arguement for pinsir who could kill in 1-2 turns in a 1v1 where venomoth couldnt'
>>56925031There are card arts you will literally never get without rerolling for them
>>56925102I don't care for the alt art cards, I'm playing to play. But if it you need it to satisfy your collector autism, go for it.
>>56925092Does the Ursiiday tour not do an asymmetric top cut where everyone with a qualifying record gets in?
>>56923365Just make it the exact same as Moltres EX Inferno Dance but for water pokémon. Problem solved.
Has there been any insight into how trading is meant to work? Is it some actual legit/honest trading shit where you can just put stuff up and say what you want for it?Or is it gonna be some dumb whalegated shit like flairs where you need to have 2 dupes at the ready before you can trade that acrd
>>56925116NTA but nothing is stopping you from playing to play after securing the account you want. Literally what I did. You don't only have to go after certain cards for the sake of collection, but to actually use what you were after.
>>56925128Knowing how gachas are, I'm betting it's at least flair tier of bad.
New bread ---> >>56925155
>>56925128I have very low hopes for it, which is why I'm trying to be somewhat proactive about getting the cards I want. By the time it comes out I'll likely have all the cards I want from this expansion already besides some of the 2 star alt art FAs, and I doubt many people will want to trade those.
>>56923365>nerfing the card that doesn't ever do anythingI'd rather water get some other form of support, maybe a pokemon that can feed water energy. Relying on a single coinflip to maybe get 1 or two energy is shit compared to basically every other archetypes energy building, besides maybe dark which doesn't have any.
>>56924414>Lock in the set for Celebi.Nyoooo if they keep doing this then Deoxys isn't gonna be good
>>56925203>Anon forgot>Like most of the worldbros..?
