Beads Of Ruin Edition>I want to learn the game, where do I begin?Download PTCGL at https://tcg.pokemon.com/en-us/tcglThe game has a quick tutorial and a bunch of decent decks to get you started against other beginners or against the AI. Some of those decks are very close to meta too. You can also go to your local game store and see if people are playing Pokémon.>I know how to play, how do I make my own deck?You have a decent beginner's guide at https://www.justinbasil.com/guideThere's also the old /tcg/ guide at https://imgur.com/a/W4NkOu6After that, look up meta decks and try to reverse engineer them to see how things work.>Where to find meta decks?For big irl events, go to https://limitlesstcg.com/decksFor online events, go to https://play.limitlesstcg.com/decks?game=PTCGFor japanese events, go to https://pokecabook.com/archives/1417Previous thread: >>56882668Old /tcg/ pastebin: https://pastebin.com/Ge95YuMA

What are some good trainers to craft the highest rarity/pretty versions of that are safe to stay in rotation other than Professor's Research and Boss's order? I have a lot of credits and want to pretty up my overall decks
>>56925969pretty much anything that's not F
>>56925969iono and arven since every deck uses them
>>56926180Already have 4 Ionos from the Premium Tournament collection, which I really like actually. Granted some of the other prints look pretty too. Arven does sound like a good idea
>>56926281yeah I like the premium tournament products too. I hope they make more of them
Can't wait for gardyfags to be killed off next year. What a degenerate deck you can't punish unless you can cheat prize cards
got second place in my local league with lugia, it's fun to just let cinccino at the wheel while you play on your phone
Fun thing are fun
Now that I look at it this card kinda sticks out, depicting a pokemon looking bored or tired like this
>>56924685first post is still a cutie...

>>56925969>>56927397also don't know your preference but for old cards I like to have 1 of each gold or illustration variant available, if you have the credits for it
>>56927306He just wanna sit under the shade to avoid the hot sunlight>>56927397>good trainer cards>potion>poke ball>energy searchActually, now that I think about it, Energy Switch and Pokemon Catcher weren't really seeing use until the past year. So I might be wrong in saying that those cards aren't worth crafting in the future.
>>56924605Klawf status?
>>56926442pic unrelated I presume
>>56927492>good trainer cards>potion>poke ballThese will never ever rotate, might as well have them in gold after buying the rest for any future deck that may use them
The brazilian choked
hate this turbo nerd fucker
>>56928128Which one?
>>56928131who the fuck you think i'm talking about, retard?
Eat shit charitard lmao
haha

>>56928905Thank you!
>>56926442Raging Bolt players are so stupid it's hilarious
>>56927504Still able to get 2nd place/top 4 in some gym battles.
>>56929023*top 8, my badHere's the 2nd place deck
Another mess up, it's City Leagues not Gym Battleshttps://pokecabook.com/archives/167630
>>56929062This is an interesting one. Looking at the amount of cards, I'm guessing it uses Pecharunt with Iron Valiant to get first turn donks. It caps at 160 for the first turn tho so won't be as good to donk against big basics, but that's what Klawf is for.
>>56929107Of course I forgot the image
damn these crossovers
If you're getting curbstomped by Zard remember that you're losing to a little kid.
Is there anything in format that disables or at least hinders Latias EX? The free retreat for basics is killing my matchup vs raging bolt.

>>56930017off the top of my head klefki and I think thorns>>56930037I had a bunch of trouble too when signing up. I think I got it to work after creating the account on my desktop
>>56930017Klefki, Iron Thorns exThat's about it. Cards that increases retreat costs don't work cause Latias takes priority
>>56930062>>56930072That's awkward...I'm playing mothlass so thorns is a defo no.Klefki needs to be in active, so it's gonna be a choice of item lock or switch lock, of which the switching they can get around since bolt plays pokemon catchers...Man i wish we had path back.
>>56930062Strange tried in the app tried in a browser neither workI didn’t think something as simple as creating an account could be so fucked
>>56929961>who the fuck cares about juniors>evil won seniors>good won mastersmeh
Has Pokemon ever had a tier 0 deck like yugioh
>>56931241Many timesThe current meta is very balanced and healthy all things considered, compare to a lot of previous metas
>>56930037I made account online because I was getting similar error. After making account online I just logged into TCGL
>>56931241D block Lugia was tier 0. Either you played it or played something with the express purpose to beat it.
>>56930072>Latias takes priorityChanging the order of factors does not change their product. Any retreat cost * 0 is 0
>>56932002Yeah that's what I was trying to say but I'm lazy
>>56930156I think what you can do is limit their bench so they don't have space for Latias. There's only 1 card for reliable bench reduction though, which is Collapsed Stadium.
>want to build meme spidops/ariados retreat stack >reminded of latias>cryI doubt I'll cut him from my mill deck anytime soon but that damned plane really dampens things harshly at this point it feels like any matchup she gets thrown down in is now a lost cause for great tusk and wugtrio, just gotta mill away all their pokestops and vacuums now i suppose
>>56931241ADP
Alright this is fucking annoying does anyone have any idea why I can’t make an account
>>56933521I've been seeing a lot of people have this issue, don't know why tho, sorry
>>56933521no idea. I had to do a couple weird things for me to make an account. but both times I made an account I just created it on the pokemon trainer website
>>56934285I’ve tried that tooApp and Firefox browserMaybe I’ll try a different browser?
post the fucking error you get at least?
>>56934352Sorry at workBasically just says something along the lines of email not acceptable or something
>>56935183What email are you using? A lot of services nowadays can pick up and reject temporary email addresses. Or you could be getting caught by a word filterinb4 horsefucker.org email address
>>56932269Dont think collapsed will cut it, if i play it early they just bench it before capping their bench, and playing it late they just choose not latias.bolt also runs 2-3 pokestops so they can always bounce it too.
>>56935252Tried multiple gmails and yahoo mails
>Starting to get into TCG and bought the Iono box since the supporter is apparently good and waifuism>coin is completely black instead of sparklyWhat the fuck...
>>56936189ah that sucks. it must have been a manufacturing error. if you really want the coin I think you can get the coins and sleeves off ebay for just a couple bucks
>>56936189nice misprint/error, people collect thesesadly, blank coins can be easily fakedcollectors usually only go for blank coins in sealed blisters
>>56936836
snorlax stall is so unplayable now fuck my life
good
>It's better to grind matches for exp on battlepass now>but battlepass dailies are the only way to get crystals so you gotta login slave for themI dislike how conflicting the methods are now
>>56937243upgrade to pidgeot control.
>>56937243how
>>56937243Good
Any Chads in here playing Ninetales Ex? Decks pretty cute and I bought it before finding out the charizard deck was coming literally the next day as some friends invited me to go locals I'm having fun with it but can't hold a candle to dragapult or terapagos
>>56939593What's so good about the deck? Conditional 220 damage on a Stage 1 ex is pretty bad.
>>56939593Only good thing it has going on for it is its beautiful art.
>>56938860why can't we have a cool thing like this again?
>>56939991We do have it, it's called Radiant Jirachi and Amulet of Hope.
>>56939710Came in a box for £20 and I was going to a tournament that night with 0 other cards owned at that point. It was that or Quaquavel and the duck is uglyWas hoping people had tips for the deck beyond just running Bibarrel and Judge to equalise easier and then praying
>>56940102I know that but I want it with no restricted one -per deck
I was planning to go to my first offline event this weekend (a League Challenge) but there's a good chance the letter with the 2 Counter Catchers I ordered for my deck was lost by the post office and now I don't know what to put in their place. The list was this one:Pokémon: 133 Charmander MEW 41 Charmeleon PAF 81 Rotom V CRZ 451 Lumineon V BRS 402 Duskull BRS 601 Fezandipiti ex SFA 381 Cleffa OBF 801 Radiant Charizard CRZ 202 Pidgeot ex OBF 1642 Pidgey OBF 1621 Dusclops SFA 691 Dusknoir SFA 702 Charizard ex OBF 125Trainer: 172 Counter Catcher PAR 160 1 Collapsed Stadium BRS 137 PH1 Unfair Stamp TWM 1651 Forest Seal Stone SIT 1561 Night Stretcher SFA 613 Nest Ball SVI 1811 Thorton LOR 1672 Boss's Orders PAL 1722 Iono PAL 1854 Arven SVI 1661 Briar SCR 1711 Professor Turo's Scenario PAR 1712 Super Rod PAL 1881 Defiance Band SVI 1694 Buddy-Buddy Poffin TEF 1444 Ultra Ball SVI 1964 Rare Candy SVI 191Energy: 25 Basic {R} Energy SVE 101 Mist Energy TEF 161I only have the cards I ordered >>56892883 here and the Charizard ex deck.Was thinking of going -2 Counter Catcher -1 Unfair Stamp, +1 Prime Catcher +1 Nest Ball +1???
>>56940239I would just add in another 1 of your important cards. like maybe another night stretcher or another zard
Is there a way for me to get all the art from tcg live?
>>56924605charizard #1 pokemon and it aint even CLOSE
>>56940531You need to sideload ptcgsparrow and you can extract them.
>>56940990>ptcgsparrowwhat is this? can't find anything on search engines
when does ptcgl usually stop the match due to a DC? I had a match where the opp didn't take any actions for 3 turns. it always seemed like the game would usually cut the match after the 1st or 2nd turn of inactivity before
>tfw when all five cards are star rarity cards from the booster pack
>>56940990what's ptcgsparrow
https://pkmncards.com/
>>56941069>I had a match where the opp didn't take any actions for 3 turnsI think this is exactly it
>>56941324Wrong thread, retard
Another free deck cosmetic.
The yellow jews finally got me.Just bought a Paradox Rift ETB, I hope you fuckers are happy.
>>56942899>>56941689
>>56941324go to your quarantine thread you drooling moron
is raging bolt a good deck to invest into after F is out of standard format? I got charizard and dragapult but someone is selling a complete bolt deck for roughly 60 usd
>>56944265It loses shoes and pokestop, but all aggro decks do. Overall it will be top tier still after rotation, it doesn't lose much in comparison to other decksDno how valuable bolt is irl to know if 60 usd is a good deal or not. It's got staying power in the meta tho
Should I try Ceruledge ex in Dragapult/Zard?
>>56944343pair it with Palkia
>>56944395So Ceruledge doesn't fit with Dragazard? Is there anything in Surging Sparks that does?
>>56943481Are you retarded?
>>56937243but nothing happened to it? What's the issue with it right now? New decks?
>>56944719Dragazard is already packed as it is, I don't think you'd want to squeeze in even more clunk in it.
Regigigas from Terastal FestivalJewel Break NNNN 100+If your opponent's Active Pokemon is a Tera Pokemon, this attack does 230 more damage.OH NO NO NO NO NO TERA BROS????

I haven't played since the Team Rocket set came out 30 years ago and I want to fuck around with some of my old buddies from school I'm seeing during the holidays. Do you guys have any recommendations on structure decks I can get that would play well together and caters to our boomer nostalgia?
>>56946079If you want to play standard and/or at a reasonable cost, Rocket cards aren't around until March and we don't really know what they'll be yet. There's a Charizard and Pidgeot league deck that was released recently which is very good, but that's only one deck. Honestly you can look online at premade deck products and they're all more or less functional.
>>56946232Cool, will do, thanks!
>>56946079if you want something retromight as well just print some old cards and sleeve themyou spend less money and you get the same experience
what's the best deck after Vniggers leave the format? I am working on terapagos but 220 feels a tad low compared to most pokemon.
Zard Pult Bolt still stay
dark patch my beloved I don't wanna say goodbye
>>56946813Raging Bolt, Dark Zard, Dragapult, Terapagos. Most dark decks that aren't super aggro should be ok with Janine instead of Dark Patch.Any other rogue decks sort of depend on if they rely on old cards to function. Must decks will lose something with the rotation but so long as they don't need those cards to run they should be ok. To my knowledge fire decks are going to be dead, or at least a lot worse.
>>56945671Now I hope regular DCE gets reprinted. Hitting 330 vs tardzard sounds great
>>569402392 super rod is too much add another charmeleon and another Charizard.
>>56945671Might be funny for the zard mirror. Wait for opponent to attack then accelerate 3 fire + counter gain, and attach a fire to your own zard.
>>56945671Regigigas has often had anti-rulebox attacks, hasn't it? It's good to see one that could be a strong counterplay.
>>56945420But it's boring now and none of the new decks interest me.
Stupid ideaPalafin ex in Kingdra ex.I use King's Order to bring out the single prize Palafin, then through some Switch shenanigans, I evolve it into it's ex form.
>>56948509Not stupid enough. You need to include 151 ditto and thorton in the chain.
>>56948591How'd they help?
>>56948868Make it more stupid
>>56948467>Regigigas has often had anti-rulebox attacks, hasn't it?RAGE AGAINST THE OPPRESSORS
>>56949092LOL
>>56949092I wish there was an exodia-esque card for regigigas where if it stayed in the active slot for five turns, you would automatically win.
>>56949788I think he would have been a good candidate for V-UNION cards, but by the time of BDSP's release, TPC was already onto VSTARS
>Lost box is the #1 most played deck againThe meta is healing
>>56950101Once cologne rotates pikachu is going to have a field day if it's already this strong
>>56950101>another pidgeot control winslol tournament
I've got control too much now I want to control it too
