sex with sabrina
It took me 99 goddamn opened packs, but I finally have the one card I wanted. Jesus fuck.
>>56925178This, but her HGSS design
>>56925155>/vp/‘s own meta (no coin flips of any kind, no ex, no Dragonite)why even play the game?
>>56925189Seriously if you don't want rng play some lame shit like chess.

>>56925185sex with sabrina
>>56925192>hundreds of dollars worth of shit paid for on throneMy hatred for twitch thots is only matched by the simps that support them.
>>56925209Tbh we fucked up tremendously as a society by ever enabling this shit.
>>56925155anyone up for some battles? I need more practice and the randoms I've faced through event battles are much weaker than the players I faced in the tournament. Anyone else have a similar experience?
>>56925179I haven’t pulled a single immersive card :(
>>56925179I find this Pikachu unsettling. I think a combination of the eyes and the anatomy
>>56925222Sure, drop a code. I’m gonna head to bed soon but I can bo3
>>56925192me when I need to top deck a weezing
>>56925225This is my first one, too. 99 packs in. Just gotta keep at it, bud. Now to hunt for the other two while I try to get the last pieces for a couple decks.
Can't wait for Gen3 bros
>>56925261>metagross to save steel decks>more ghostsKEEP MILOTIC AWAY FROM THIS FUCKING GAME
Any new player guides? Also what did I miss since I just now downloaded the game
>>56925261Gardevoir is KANTOOOOO since it's in the mewtwo pack.
>>56925267>Also what did I miss since I just now downloaded the gameNot much, you missed 2 events (well one event, you still have 2 days to do the Lapras event)There's a reroll guide if you want that, there's not much to learn desu, its pretty simple>>56925272Gard ex tho...
>that Charmander on your bench... give him to me...
>>56925281No
>>56925261Shedinja...I'd love to actually be able to play you...
>>56925273Oh, so it's recommended to reroll?
>>56925289If you get a really shit bunch of cards after doing the tutorial stuff and some solo missions, it's worth rerolling. As long as you can get two of the same EX or dragon cards, you should be able to make a relatively decent deck.
>>56925261same
Eat shit
how do you update tyranitar for pocket?
>>56925315That looks fine, bro
>>56925315probably discard from the hand instead since theres no deck out in this game
>>56925315Millchads... WE IN HERE
>>56925185
>Pull immersive zard>When I already have 2 normal ex zards>and still no Moltres exLET ME TRADE
>>56925330Lillie card when?
>>56925323discard from hand is pretty good I was thinking return to deck like aerodactylI don't think we'll get mill in pocket
I don't know what pack to pull anymore, the cards left for me to get are all rare from each and I keep pulling repeats anyway
I can't understand Japanese, but I'm sure this guy is saying something informative. I hope Kingdra is a water type for busted Misty memes.https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYLRVRJ5/
>>56925284*oneshots for a free point so all I need to to take out a single EX to win*Psh, nothing personelle, kid.
>>56925363Check the card list and see what you’re missing that costs a lot of card points.
>>56925335
I'm missing the most cards from mewtwo but I want a moltres ex, and another arcanine ex. Should I pull from mewtwo and wait until fire outbreak to use hourglasses on charizard and Pikachu packs?
>>56925368I was planning on saving points toward a missing FA later on
>>56925385You don’t have to spend it just check it so you know what pack to pick.
I hope we get trainer mons >blaine's magmar
how much time is left for the current premium missions? trying to find the best time for my 2 week free trial
I just want to say the full art golbat is truly well done.
>>56925310So... what happens when you don't run into the mirror match?
>>56925346I can see both return to deck or discard from hand both working. but returning to deck sounds like it would make the games longer which is something they might try to avoid since pocket is designed to be short.
>>56925367People actually think this is good for them lel. Newsflash, if you kill Zard or Mewtwo with energies you're gonna win anyways.T fossilGOD
I did it. I managed to align the time so the daily pack will refresh every X:00
>>56925348sex with sabrina why did mods delete this
>>56925401Fossildefeatist mindset right here
>>56925401>He only knows how to win with 1 single mon in his deck and doesn't know how to set up multiple win conditions
>>56925416I'm not the guy shilling fossils, nor do I play fossils in my Mewtwo, but if you ever do ANYTHING other than put an energy on Mewtwo in the Mewtwo deck, you are already down a losing path.
Is it worth it to reroll in this game? Are they stingy with packs and cards to make good decks? I don't really care for immersive cards
>>56924953Ex venusaur is really underwhelming, It's so fucking hard to get it where it needs to be with how shit bulbasaur and ivysaur are and your reward is a 4 energy attack that swing for 100 and you still get 2/1 shot through max healing by relevant end game mons.
>>56925393I can keep ditto in the back and if they’ve placed an ex but they’re feeding their active mon I just sacrifice my active mon and feed my ditto. It’s obviously not always going to work but this guy lost the second he let me get an energy lead on Mewtwo.
>only 25 wonder trade hourglasses leftI really need more wonder hourglasses, bros. I have spent my last 6 wonder trades on Weezings and only got 1 of them.
>>56925406Janny thinks Sabrina is his irl gf
>>56925427>Is it worth it to reroll in this game?1000%>Are they stingy with packs and cards to make good decks?Yes it is incredibly difficult to go after what you want if it's high rarity which is why rerolling to chase it is your best weapon.
>>56925366>Update announced! New pack strengthens Steel and Dark type?>New booster pack coming out December 12th>trade function getting added January 1st>speculation on adding those evo cards>speculation on adding delibird for christmas time>Johto pokemon, will have ex versions of johto starters>3 dogs for legendary slot as well as ho oh lugia and celebi>Since dark and steel typse have no EX's, dark will get crobat and tyranitar and steel will get steelix and scizor>hoping for Kingdra as a dragon type EX but will probably be water>celebi will have an immersive like mewlooks like a lot of speculation, but I can't say I disagree with any of it.
>>56925427You definitely need to reroll. Mewtwo is easier to reroll for probably. You need 2 Mewtwo EXs and 2 Gardevoirs. The Pikachu deck needs 2 Pika EX and 2 Zapdos EX. Those are the 2 best decks, and you can pretty feasibly reroll for the Mewtwo one. Pika is a bit harder, but you can probably feasibly reroll for 2 of Zapdos or Pika, and 1 of the other.
so it's basically impossible to play a Stage 2 pokemon deck consistently in this game right?I have a Poliwrath deck and I just threw in articuno just to have something else on hand and my experience has been consistently winning wit 'cuno because his damage output is just faster than anything else in my deckit's pointless to try to reach Poliwrath, Pidgeot, or even Greninja when every opponent starts with their EX that only needs 2 energy to take out most of your basics
>>56925392shame we got no crobat, there's no reason to use it as is.
>>56925430I want Ditto to be good. I think we're missing a rainbow energy support card.
>>56925444Greninja can be worth it as he can generate value in your bench with 0 energy. Gardevoir is probably the best psychic card right now.
>>56925416I would probably run ex starmie with my dragon deck if only I had them. Tentacruel poison lets me kill 130 hp mons in two turns anyways so it's not all bad.
what do you guys mean by reroll? how do you do that, and what do you even reroll? do you mean at the very start of account creation or what?
>>56925444>so it's basically impossible to play a Stage 2 pokemon deck consistently in this game right?I am the anti-Red Card fag from a couple threads ago. I think you should run Pokedex if you run a Stage 2 line.
I wish muk was good bros
>>56925444>so it's basically impossible to play a Stage 2 pokemon deck consistently in this game right?In general it's hard to have fun with Stage 2 because they come out late and they're usually win cons that you use to wrap up the game, so you don't get much playtime with them one way or another.BUT there are tools in the TCG (not here yet) that can accelerate evolution, like for instance Rare Candy allowing you to skip the mid evo completely. I don't know what direction they'll take this game, but there are ways they can buff evo-centered win cons in the future.
>>56925310>>56925430>this guy lost the second he let me get an energy lead on Mewtwo.This is why you don't run Meowth.
>>56925432>wasting wonder trades on weezingunless you have every EX you want, you shouldn't be wasting your hourglasses on easy to get things like that. Or at the very least only pull on groups that have weezing+one other thing you want.
>>56925446I wonder if they'll add the other missing evos>magmortar>electivire>steelix>scizor
>>56925460>install game>open as many packs as possible until it requires too much work to get to the next pack opening>if you don't like what you got, uninstall>reinstall and try again
>>56925427>>56925439>>56925427you are retarded
I would like them to just add the supporters from the sets to the store so I can just craft them using tickets like prof research. it takes 14 packs to craft a single supporter right now.
>>56925471Says the crying baby that can't form a substantive post
>>56925444It's difficult but charizard+moltres is the exception. 2 x-speeds to get moltres in our out of active postion as quickly as possible, moltres builds tons of free energy, and between a 140 hp mon and 2 fossils, you should be able to make your opponent waste 3+ turns trying to kill you while you pull for Charizard. Once you've got charizard with 5+ energy, the only thing that can really stop you at that point is sabrina or another Charizard. 200 damage kills every single thing in one hit
I haven't had a bonus pick in two days.
>>56925470is that really faster than just continuing to play?what should one even be looking for?
First god pack my niggas check it
>>56925467The game only ever gives me EXs out of packs, it doesn't give me any of the other rares. I don't get trainers either. For EXs, I'm missing Exeggutor, Moltres, and Starmie, but I'd much prefer to have Weezing so that I can finally buy the Kogas that the game wont give me and stop opening Mewtwo packs and start opening Charizard. I know that you "should" use wonder trade for EX, but I am incredibly desperate.
>>56925462if the damage was buffed on venoshock I think a koga deck would be pretty worthwhile. As it stands, needing 3 energy for a normally 70 damage move that only goes to 130 with poison isn't very good compared to what the EX pokemon and stage 2's are doing.
>>56925483hot dayum
>>56925468I really hope so, I love all those guys and they're evo's to pokemon that aren't very good on their own right now.
>>56925482MUCH faster since you hit the ground running with what you actually care about>what should one even be looking for?Literally look through the card catalog and see what you like by artwork since rerolling is your best bet at getting it. In terms of meta, Pikachu EX, Mewtwo EX, Charizard EX, Starmie EX, the 3 legendary birds as EX, etc are some of the rarer cards that perform well.https://www.pokemonmeta.com/cardsHere's a list reference.
>>56925488his hp is amazing and grimer is a decent starter other that he's setup fodderthe problem is the attack costs 3 energy and you have no way to accelerate it, so if you lead with grimer muk you just pass turn and do nothing
>>56925482You go for what you want, but ideally you want enough pokemon in your preferred archetype along with 2 EX pokemon or dragons.
Why's this nigga not used as much as Pika Ex?>comes from a pack with a better card pool>2-energy flat 90 damage vs. Pika Ex's full bench conditional 90>free retreat cost>130 HP, which Pika Ex needs to 2HKO without using Giovanni
>>56925444https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/673002120947ec3b5d19dfcf/metagame/charizard-ex-moltres-ex-a1https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/673002120947ec3b5d19dfcf/metagame/mewtwo-ex-gardevoir-a1
>>56925501>why is some random shape not used as much as the most popular pokemon in the game
>>56925501>Why's this nigga not used as much as Pika Ex?Because he dies to Pika EX + Giovanni.
>>56925483Double crown is great value, nice score
>>56925501Maybe not in tournaments, I see starmie+articuno way more often online than pika ex
>>5692550990 + 20 + 10 = 120Starmie is 130
>>56925467Usually I'd say to only WP EX or more, but this game is weird with both 3-D and 4-D having close enough pull rate that sometimes you get more EX and 3-D. So I'd say it's okay if a card is useful to WP
>>56925519NTA, but Starmie EX is not getting complaints more since there are worse shit in the meta and one of the prominent decks is Lightning. When there is less Lightning in the queue, many will be yelling at Misty's starfish
>streak of games where my ratslop deck has all of the oaks/balls/basics bottom 10I didn't want to win today anyway
>>56925501because of all the pikachu decks that can hit him for 40 to 50 damage with 1 energy. Also starmie ex is the best card in the game but Staryu is susceptible to getting gio turn 1 and 2 or sniped on the bench.
>>56925501Staryu can be killed incredibly easily is why
>>56925468Scizor would be interesting, considering you'd have to evo it from Scyther.
>>56925501Stage 1 curse
>>56925463I hope they can come up with something else than Rare Candy. It's a sensible way to buff Stage 2 decks, but it also means you're basically never running the Stage 1s anymore.Maybe a card that allows you to evolve a stage 1 immediately from deck could do it. (Specifically that so it doesn't also speed up Stage 1s)
>want to rip like 20 packs of GA Charizard >know I should save my HGs and Gold for the next couple of sets>but it's my birthday and I want to open at least a couple of packs before I sleepThe temptation to just say "fuck it" is too strong
>>56925573Don't spoil your birthday by wasting HGs on potential trash packs. Even if you pull something good somewhere in there the sense of fulfillment will be short-lived.
>>56925530What do Pika decks run to pad out Basic mons? Seems like nothing outside of the Voltorb line is good
>>56925573Do it motherfucker TREAT yourself
>>56925585Zapdos ex and Voltorb
>>56925585Zapdos EX is a no-brainer. Some are getting the Raichu line so you can have an alternate wincon
You shouldn't be guaranteed a basic pokemon in your opening hand.
Is it safe to say Sabrina is the trainer card with the most longevity?
>>56925585Zebrastrike for reachVoltorb for free switchesRaichu for late game powerPincurchin for para haxDealer's choice
>opponent had 2 EX articuno and 2 EX starmie>think this game couldnt possibly make him win with such an EX heavy deck>i somehow lose because he stalled enough with ex speed and potions to end up one shotting everything else I hadepicthis game is so fucking cookedthey should have released this game with trading first and then worked on this broken fucking battle system
Is anyone else not getting bonus picks anymore?
>>56925603That shit ended already.It's like people don't read the news in the game.
>>56925481The event ended on the 14th
>>56925602>>think this game couldnt possibly make him win with such an EX heavy deckKWABlearn the game n00b
>>56925593>lose right awaySounds fun
>>56925602Sounds more like you need a deck that can handle the Starmie style
>>56925602It would encourage deck building if you could only have 1 EX card.
>>56925602>noooo, how could my opponent win when they had such strong cards that ramp up quickly compared to other ex pokemonget good
is a nidoking deck viable? he is my fav
Does it look bad if I unfriend people? At first I was adding everyone to increase the chance I got 5 tickets a day, but I'm tired of seeing foreign language WPs since I'm not into my cards not matching and they're taking up WP space, so I kind of want to unfriend some of the people I've added like the Japanese ones.
>almost every Pika variant is running a one-of PincurchinI guess it can make normally unwinnable boards winnable if you win the coinflip.
I HATE MISTY I HATE MISTY I HATE MISTY
>>56925636no lol
>>56925646How can anyone hate misty?
>>56925636only against other people playing for funsometimes you beat mewtwo cause of type advantage
>>56925460>install the game>create an account>DO NOT LINK IT YET>run through the tutorial, open as many packs as possible>do a few WPs if there's anything good there>if you're not satisfied with the cards you got, delete the account>start over>when you ARE satisfied, link the account to a Nintendo acc or email>(optional) delete the app (your linked account can be recovered) and install it again. Create another account and try to get other stuff for when trading is added in the future
If you ask me, they really failed on Nidoking's FA. He should have gotten an epic one like Machamp or Gyarados.
>>56925636I've barely seen any nido decks, but haven't had much trouble against the ones I've fought. If you just like Nidoking, I'd suggest trying Weezing for stall to help you set up Nido and grind them down enough that his 90 damage can actually kill them. Nidoqueen+Nidoking is neat on paper, but the logistics of getting at least 2 pokemon evolved twice to do less damage than mewtwo really sucks.
>>56925654>>DO NOT LINK IT YETThis is an unnecessary step. You can still delete account reroll even if you link it to your Nintendo account first.
>>56925582I didn't pull anything. I should've listened to you.>>56925587Bro, how could you...
>got 2 Pikachu EX, 2 Zapdos EX, and 2 Arcanine EX without getting a single RaichuEh. I'll just wait for trading and move on to the Zard boosters for Moltres/Zard/Starmie.
>>56925673Most the best pika decks don't run raichu.
>>56925673Same but zebstrika is straight up better
>>56925660Sure, but it's good practice to not link it until you're sure you want to keep it just in case you forget to delete it (by deleting the app, for example) and when you finally do find an acc you want to keep, you can't link it to the Ninty acc without deleting the other one first. So you'd have to get another device, delete it from there so you can link the acc on the first device.It's a somewhat specific set of circumstances but, for people that don't really understand rerolling too much, might as well follow steps that already take that into consideration.
>>56925593Best i can do is one basic and the rest support cards
>>56925692>you can't link it to the Ninty acc without deleting the other one firstNTA but it's impossible to link more than once to a Nintendo Account, even if you delete the original. Been there, tried that. Had to make a 2nd Nintendo Account and linked to that.
love making mewtwo fags kneel as a dark chad
what are the chances of this becoming a popular format for the actual tcg?... is this a popular format for the tcg?...
>>56925709Gross, that's even worse. So yeah, for sure do not link to Ninty account until you want to keep it.
>>56925720>pick a deck that has an 8-2 matchup with a meta deck>concede against every other deck
>>56925723zero
>>56925723Minimal. It's got a few purely digital additions that Just Won't Work.
>>56925723It is, depending on your definition of "popular". It's a slightly altered version of the ruleset of "my first battle" which is intended to be a primer for new players to get into the tcg
>>56925728the only decks I insta-concede against are fighting decks
I hate the wonder brick!
>>56925737you can't beat any of the stage 2 decks if they actually draw their stage 2, nor can you beat pikachu if they draw giovannii respect your effort though
Why do people concede instead of accepting their losses?
>>56925747because you play slow as hell
>>56925746I've beaten plenty of stage 2 decks, and have made plenty of pikachuds concede against Nidoking
>>56925747That is accepting the loss, literally the definition of the word concede. That you think you want the match to continue for another minute so you can add one or two more points to your overall tally so you can feel proud about something in your life is very telling.
>>56925747>wait for a guy to kill me with his active pokemon which already has the energy to do so>plays out the turn like normal playing support cards, item cards, shuffling pokemon around and only after 2 minutes of this actually killing meI've got things to do.
>>56925747Why should I bother sitting through you fiddling with your cards when we both know I lost? Same goes for when you know you lost. Just be a man and concede.
So is there anyway to reroll with my apple account? Or do I have to make a new email for the reroll? I'm just playing from the ipad.
>>56925736>Two attacks on normal basicsAieee, too complex!
slot machine marowak is fun and has the added bonus of making pikachu shitters seethe
>>56925747Conceding when you should have won is telling that they believe you can see the line to victory.If they didn't concede, that means they think you're enough of a retard to fuck it up.
>>56925416Hey retard, doesn't matter how you win if you win. I literally win 99%+ of my games a Mewtwo 150 attack. It is what it is.
>>56925773>losing to the sandslash starter deckhilarious
>>56925747I don't concede because they might fat finger their attacks.
>>56925778Yep all starter decks have two copies of Sabrina
>>56925747I ain't playing your slow ass
around how many pity points can we get (f2p) between now and whenever the next set comes out?is pitying an immersive art card plausible or is that pure cope?
>>56925804pity? What pity? There's no pity system in this game that I'm aware of.
>>56925804~300 pack points per month f2p
>>56925804im not even up to 1k points and i spent a bit of money already so that should tell you a lot...
>>56925806You get more like 2.5 packs a day, so 375.Plus free shit from events, but that's hard to gauge.So you might be able to get 1, maybe.
>>56925805pack points
>>56925812can't craft an immersive with pack points as far as I know. Same with the alt art rare cards
>>56925805>>56925811>3 months for a full artidk if thats good or bad
>>56925773Now play against a good pikachu deck
>>56925809>>56925806FI guess the next question would be are these pack points universal? Like when the next set comes out and I see my daily packs on the new shit is the same pack point pool that I can (eventually) retroactively buy a full art from this set?
>>56925820Everything is there
>>56925827No, tied to specific sets
>>56925820Anon...
>>56925827It seems that they're not. It's implied they go away once the pack does, but we're not really sure how that exactly works.
>>56925777Hey man, no need to prove anything to me. You're the one who concedes after Mewtwo dies.
>>56925820ex full arts are 1250 pps, same as rainbow borders. Immersive rares are 1500; crown rares are 2500. So yes, you can craft every single card that's in Genetic Apex with Genetic Apex pps.
>>56925836>2.5k pack points for butter pikachumy point stands if there's no way in hell I'm getting enough points for those. I'm still under 500 and I haven't crafted anything yet.
So is there a consistent anti Pikachu deck?? I relly HOPE the december mini-set brings new tools to fight back the yellow rat.>>56925468In january when the next expansion releases for sure we´ll get Johto pokemon and the evolutions that come with it (Scizor, Steelix, Kingdra, Slowking, Blissey, Porygon 2, Espeon and Umbreon). >>56925595Erika and definitely Misty too, I hate the fact that water pokemon are cursed with high energy cost attacks because of her.
>>56925827Anon, do you know how to read? Did you know there's an info button on the pack point screen that literally answers your question?
I hate being close to the next level late at night. I have to win 5 games, level up, get hourglasses, open a pack for good luck or else something bad will happen to my family.
>>56925842Jokes on you, mini set will give Raichu EX that only makes the Pika EX menace even worse.
>>56925811>2.5 packs a day,where is this number coming from? you get 3a day plus hour glasses
>>56925853only if you're an oinker
>>56925853You get 2 packs, 4 hourglasses and 5 tranny tickets.Which over the course of the month, you turn into hourglasses, 70 to be exact.About 190 hourglasses from that, which is about 15 packs.
Been at it the last couple days but feels like I finally rerolled a winnerThoughts before I lock it in?
>>56925875Pretty fucking good pull, anon. Definitely time to lock in.
>>56925875Hope you pulled the rest of the Charizard line to be able to use this.
>>56925875You don't have a full deck, so I think you need to reroll more.
>>56925875aye. best you got unless you want to try for a gold crown
>>56925875take it, you'll open a bunch more stuff with the rest of the packsyou can play zard and double starmie means you aren't that from mistycancer too
>still have no Lapras EX's from the eventNot gonna lie this pull rate fucking sucks
>>56925917use your event hourglasses if you still have them. Lapras stocks are about to go up since the next event is supposed to increase pull rates for fire types.
>>56925877>>56925878>>56925883>>56925887>>56925888Thanks. Aside from this week or so, I'm probably not going to have as much time as I'd like to spend on the game until probably the new year so I'm not in a big hurry to start playing or building top tier decks. My main goal was just to get a solid base locked in so I could start getting dailies and stuff rolling in to progress while I'm busy with shit until I can play for real. What recommendation is there to go from here as far as my daily packs and hourglasses. Should I keep going into charizard packs to try and finish off what stuff I could use from there? or am I better off moving to one of the other packs and start filling that out?
>>56925928Fair. Also I've just been playing against the strongest one everytime, but is there any reason not to do the easiest since it looks like it has the same rewards? Just in case for some reason the promo packs have different pull rates based on difficulty.
>>56925940Always lock in one type of pack until you have what you need to build one strong deck from it (Pika ex, Arti ex/Starmie ex M2 ex, Zard ex/Mol ex, etc.), then you can decide if you want to keep going to get more out of it or, preferably, change packs to increase your collection/options.
>>56925941As far as we know, all promo packs are the same rates, all that differs is the chance to even get a pack, with expert being 100%. So no, if you reached and can defeat expert Lap, there's no reason to go down difficulties.

>>56926045Top right deniers once again taking a loss.
how come no one plays kabutops? it duels all the cringe stage 1s except mewtwo for 1 energy investment
is Moltres Arcanine better than Moltres Charizard
>>56926054>stage 2>fossilmonBro think about it
>>56926054It's a stage 2 fossil which means it's simply not reliable
>>56926054It's simple, really. I don't have Kabutops.
>>56926060>>56926063>fossilmonthis isn't a downside, guarantees you start with the basic(s) you want
>>56926050>I really need people to figure out whether or not wonder trade is rigged like the tutorial wonder trade isMy guess is that it does use the tutorial rigging where it decides a roulette of 20% on each to see what card you got, then places that card wherever you picked and randomizes where the unpicked cards go. In the tutorial's case they just modified the roulette to be 100% on the decided FA card and 0% on the other cards. So I don't think where you pick actually matters as in the tutorial, since the tutorial demonstrates they can move it during the act of picking to where it needs to be.
>>56926072>since the tutorial demonstrates they can move it during the act of picking to where it needs to be.Yeah, that's why I'm inclined to believe it's rigged, but I want someone to, like, sniff packets or whatever they need to do to figure out it if is it actually rigged.
uh oh widdle misty player rage quit goo goo gaa ggaaa diaper full
The rates are shit in this game.I have 550 cards, with 0 meta decks. I'm not sure I'll stick with this game for too long.I'll wait how bullshit the trading will be.
>4 hourglasses a day>no login streaksIts my own fault for going through all the content so far but damn.
>>56926082>poster says "rage quit">it's not just them conceding and him projecting anger>it's actually the true rage quit>cute full art Erika on topbased
>>56926093but pvp is infinite content
>>56926087Just quit this game ain't for you.
>>56926099I already have 50 wins and the game's balance is too jank to enjoy pvp for extended periods.
>>56926079It's not rigged, because they'd get in legal trouble over that immediately, and even if it was, I can fucking guarantee that packet sniffing isn't gonna reveal that shit.
>>56926087This is why I tell people to reroll accounts. No idea why that one guy seethes so hard about it.
Been playing event since it started and not 1 Lapras. Does stamina refreshes expires? I don't know where I got them from.
>>56926107>It's not rigged, because they'd get in legal trouble over that immediatelyHow? I'm not saying it's rigged for you to not get it, I'm saying it's rigged to be a 20% chance and that no matter which one you pick, it's decided at the time that you select the wonder pick (or possibly at the time that the wonder pick shows up for you, before you choose it), similar to how the tutorial works. I mean, I'm not saying that. I'm saying it's possible and that I want someone to find out for sure.
>>56925940If you're not going to be able to play for a while you should save all your hourglasses because new packs are coming out mid-december and the end of january. Just pull your daily packs and use your wonder pull stamina as it maxes out.
>>56926122It doesn't make any difference no matter how you look at it. It's 20% anyways.Also, all you need to do is to turn off the game after you hit the wonder pick. It should be added to your collection regardless.
>>56926079>>56926122Someone used a packet sniffer and found that the information remains unknown when you start it. It's when you tap the card you want that there's communication with the server to provide the choice.
>>56926134>Also, all you need to do is to turn off the game after you hit the wonder pick. It should be added to your collection regardless.This is false. See >>56926139. The hinge is on the card selection. Goes from card not being added to your account to card being added to your account at that moment.
TOP RIGHT IS RIGGED3 ACCOUNT REROLLALL 3 TOPRIGHT WTRF?!?!?!?
>>56926145Same end result though. If it hinges on that, of course it needs to do it this way, because otherwise packet sniffing would let you pick the correct option every time.
Seaking is fucking retarded
>>56926159It's not the same because you were insinuating you'd know the card without seeing it on the naturally progressing screen, but you'd have to see it by then by design of it flipping over instead of there being fluff in-between as in pack openings.
>>56926176You're right, it was wrong of me to assume that it'd work like pack openings. But the main point is still the same, this is something that's easily tested even without packet sniffing.
>>56926111I did reroll for a whole day, and that's the results.I was thinking if I play, I'll get the neccesary cards eventually.Well I didn't.
>>56926146Actually, I've had a theory that whatever algorithm determines RNG in this game is somehow flawed. I've screencapped my last 14 wonder picks and I've noticed that for me the rare cards appear in the top left about 40% of the time. Similarly I've gotten more than twice as much Clefairy in the Lapras promo event as any other card. It's possible this is simply small sample size errors and given enough time the results will even out. I will continue to record my wonder picks for exactly this but for now it appears as if the rates are abnormally weighted.
Kind of regretting passing on some WPs earlier. I was trying to be conservative but now I have 2 hours left until the 5th stamina is done and I have nothing good to choose from. Someone said last time it can store up to 8 but I think that's from deliberately buying overflow, last time I was at 5 I didn't see a timer running.
>>56926195The Lapras event is different. The rates are not even and weren't claimed to be even. I'm sure someone has the exact reference since it was found but iirc Lapras was like 13% chance to appear.
they should add emoting
>>56926070>both fossils on the last 2 cards of the deckNow what?
>>56926203>The Lapras event is different. The rates are not even and weren't claimed to be even. I'm sure someone has the exact reference since it was found but iirc Lapras was like 13% chance to appear.What you are saying has no bearing on what he is saying. Clefairy, Mankey, and Pikachu are obviously the commons. He has twice as many Clefairy as the other cards. Me? I have double the most Pikachus, and I only got 2 Mankeys.
>>56926193>I did reroll for a whole day, and that's the results.What did you reroll toward getting? Sounds like you gave up if you say you had 0 meta cards.
>>56926203The 3 commons are even rates though, yet just about everyone has a huge pile of one specifc card.
>>56926209>both kirlias on the bottom of the deck>both weezings on the bottom of the deck>both kogas on the bottom of the deck>both blaines on the bottom the deckthe same thing?
>>56926082why is erika so flat
>>56926195This would also explain why I have 5 Mewtwo EXs, but I don't have any Kogas.
>>56926215I mean situations that don't mimic the expected distribution have to happen to someone. I wouldn't be surprised if there's someone out there with only Pikachu and nothing else, but just a matter of knowing them or not.
Fellas what pack has good fighting types?
>>56926230It seems to be a widespread issue though.I have 16 Mankeys, 11 Pikachu and 6 Clefairy, a friend of mine has a lean for Clefairy, and a lot of people here bring up their slanted distribution too.
>>56926235The ones that pack a punch
>>56926235Mewtwo
>>56926223Last one is still salvageable
>>56926146Its always top right except when its not
>seakingFuck off. Actually fuck off. Fuck right the fuck fucking off. Just let me auto battle you you fucking stupid bitch nigger.
>>56926218I wanted a M2 deck, but the Ralts, Kirlia and Gardevoir cards are just not showing up.And since I got a bunch of stage 1 dupes I can't even craft enough of them.And let's not talk about wonderpick either.
>>56926224she is 12
>both sabrinas on the bottom of the deck with only 2 cards leftwtf are the chances of this
>>56926258ask the fossil hater, he should know :^)
>>56926257She was 12 at the time of her debut on September 23, 1997She would be 39 today.
>>56926255The Gardevoir line can be crafted easily enough. My friend did that. Other than that, you could've just kept rerolling until you grabbed as many of them as possible. Either way, I can't blame you if you want to quit since I rerolled to a strong account and still feel like this game is severely lacking. The main thing preventing me from quitting is that I do have my ideal deck, but maybe joining the chase like everyone else with the next expansion will finally make me quit if they don't fix the resource system.
do I burn the rest of my event hourglasses or should I hold onto em? already got Lapras
>>56926318they work for other events?
>>56926292Yeah, right now the game sucks a little bit for lucklets.I'll wait a few patches and see how the trading will turn out.At least I've managed to build a harassment deck out of water cards.Polywrath x1 counter 20dmgGolduck x2Frosmoth x2 sleep (coinflip)Due to low cost, it's fast to evolve. Unless I meet a Pika or M2 deck..
>>56926324So they say, based on it being a generic item vs. the Meowth event currency which specifies (Meowth)I wanted to check when they expire, but I don't have any of those, so if someone that has them could check their items menu, I think that'd put it to rest.
>>56926324No. Some people are assuming they will but there's no evidence to support these beliefs
>>56926324I've used them all up.
I have every card and can make any deck. I'm getting tired of PikaEX. What should I make and try next?

>>56926364when jiggly promo comes out i'll concede but i still like double arbok more because it demolishes mew2
>>56926054you cannot search for fossils or be guaranted to have any in your open hand. fossils have always been a jank mechanic. its only usable in the current format in the non pocket TCG because of lugia
>>56926367I actually like teching a solo tuff into my Arbok deck instead of the solo Muk some people use. Grimer is better than puff but tuff is leagues better than Muk.
>>56926054Onyx Kabutops recently had a tournament top btw.
>>56926384which deck
>>56926368>He didn't play Unlimited in 2005 with Prehistoric Power Aerodactyl preventing evolutions, Dark Vileplume preventing Trainers and Ursaring preventing Basics from attacking
>>56926050they literally cannot rig wonderpick because they say right on the screen for it that it's a 1/5 chance to get any card. if it was discovered that it was in fact rigged, it could land TPC in huge legal trouble
>>56926396>click the pack>it's a 1/5 chance>however, the 1/5 chance is decided when you select the pack>you selecting a card is a superfluous step, and the result is always the sameNothing about this would be illegal.
>>56926391
>>56926337So nobody is going to check this?I guess it shows how many people actually believe this shit will carry over.
>>56926354
left free wonder pick optionsright is chansey picksfire event soon
>>56926344make a SOVL deck
>>56926417This is a huge relief. The game won't give me a second copy of Vulpix, Ninetails, or Blaine, so the bonus picks should set me straight.
>>56926417Shame the Chansey picks are 2 pointers, not really feeling my chances at filling out the dex with that.
I'm not gonna make it, am I?
>>56926436Pay up
>>56926436>only 1 Lapras EX
For everyone on the fence about saving their Event Hourglasses, I just want you to be aware that in the future, events will SURELY have "Master Level" battles that will cost 2-3 stamina to challenge, and will have different rulesets than Expert, like "Win within X turns", "First Blood (One point to win)", and harder time limits. tl;dr: unless they say "oopsie" and apologize for not clarifying that the hourglasses would expire, expect harder content with a higher stamina cost to challenge. If they weren't thinking about this until my post somehow makes it to them, hire me DeNA.>>56926417>no chance for CharEX or MoltresEX in any rarity>no chance for Charmander or Rapidash in 1* rarity This next event is cheap. At the very least, the 4 Diamond EXs should be available in your WP pool at a very rare chance. If the next event is Fire advantage, I don't know if Arcanine will be enough for what I assume will be Expert level Venusaur/Butterfree/Erika healstall decks.
>>56926400that wouldn't actually change anything though
>>56926488It's the same as "rolling" a 20% banner, it would just be visually misleading.
uhhhh BASED
>>56926505kek
Would you go for these odds or nah? I'm kind of stamina poor right now because I've trying for Venusaur and Exeggutor EXs
>>56926518>rolling on 2/5Only retards do that.
>>56926527I'm so sorry
>>56926527Fucking brutal, anon.
>>56926527Never go for the middle, it's cursed
>>56926054I am playing kabutops and it's sadly bad.50 damage is so little, and he can actually outheal stuff that deals less than 80 damage, so any real late game threat will just break through.And you will give so much time to your opponent to set up. Fossils can't be searched with poke ball, and can't be rigged in your starting hand. There is no way to search any evolution card. You have to hard draw the entire evolution line. And 50 damage on a stage 2 is simply pathetic. Healing 50 is not enough at the stage of the game you usually manage to play him.
>>56926560I got a Charizard EX and Moltres EX both from the middle in the same day
just got my 45 wins completed in the event battlesused Machamp EX / Marowak EX for 90% of it.Biggest issues were Pikachu EX and Mewtwo EX. Articuno EX/Starmie EX was sometimes a bit of a coinflip.
>>56925761Looks like you can reroll the account, but if you do that free premium trial, the trial is still locked to your apple id, so I'm missing a day on it. That said, I did pull one of these in my first 5 packs.
>opposing Pikachu 90 damage my Exeggutor>Erika + Potion + Butterfreehttps://youtu.be/RhMsboqMMzsIt really sucks when you fail to get your Exeggutor though. Or you keep gettint tails
wots a good wigglytuff deck
>>56926602
>>56926619there's no way that works
>>56926634ok
>>56926602with weezing koga
>>56923564Aaand another failed Erika wp attempt. I'll literally never ever get an Erika. My past 20 or so packs have all been charizard btw. Fuck this game.
holy shit, i'm so tired of versus man. I wish i got exp even if i lost, i was able to win a good amount last week but it feels like everyone just has their full electric deck set up. I'm just getting raped by 90 damage ex pikashit turn 4 it's fucking nuts.
>>56926646needing to roll for support cards is a joke. worst part about pocket is that there's no good solution to missing small vital pieces of a deck. You're missing 2 cards? you're fucked, you might have enough pocket points for ONE of them.
>>56926648Cheap pieces aren't an issue as long as you're willing to spend the points.
>>56926653it's not cheap. You can open a fuck load of packs and your reward is like, maybe 4 cards. If you want a stage 2 card god forbid, that'll be 150 packet points. I don't even bother ever thinking i'll save enough for an EX, 500 points is whale shit.
>put 1 energy on my old amber:^)
>>56926527Whoever actually got that roll can fuck off. I rerolled for her all day yesterday
is there tournamnet data on going first vs second win rates?
>>569266831% vs 99%
Is there anything I can get out of the lapras event? I see its ending tonight, I pretty much just started though.I can do the first stage, I did the second one but its possibly losable with my scuffed newbie deck.Should I just spam the lowest stage and get whatever I can out of it before its gone?
fuck this game
>>56925330It could be worse.Like me when I pulled Immersive Pikachu EX when I already have 3 Pikachu EX and am missing most of the other EX mons in the fucking pack.Please I just want something I don't already have 3 copies of.
>>56925335Zapdos EX quadruple tails fucking hurts man.Especially since if I have Zapdos out front it's usually because I either need to win this turn or I'm dead (or in other words, it's a hail mary for killing stuff that THE RAT couldn't take down).
>>56926694lapras
>>56926694you don't lose stamina for losing in that event m8
>>56926694Roll more Pika boostersUse your hourglassesThere's no reason to have that shit a deck even at lower levels. Opening packs is the fastest way to level up too.
>>56925404Am I the only person getting 'Pack Drift"?My packs keep becoming available a few minutes earlier each day for some reason, like the timer is actually not exactly 12 hours or something.
>>56926694you should be able to clear every stage with the lt.surge rental
>>56926697lol.I have 5 Pikachu ex and not a single other ex from that pack.
>>56925483>3 repeats>2 crown rares of the same card (they look like shit)>2 Shitty full arts that you probably already haveUnironically if THAT awful shit was my 'God Pack' I'd just fucking kill myself.
>>56926710>anon drifted his packs>his PPS (packs per second) is going to be lower>he's going to parse blue on the funny number website>everyone will laugh at him >the logs will be uploaded and everyone will get to point and laugh as they pinpoint exactly where you let your packs drift
>>56925501Pikachu EX is a basic so it's faster and easier to set up.
>>56926660>It's not cheap to get cheap pieces, here's a list of things that aren't cheap to prove you wrongYup, I see.
>>56926723I'm not that guy, but it takes 1 week to be able to buy a Trainer. That's kinda fucked up.
>>56926726Sounds like someone hasn't been playing diligently enough, I could buy 9 right now.
Bros.I broke and bought the Gardevoir Cosmetics bundle.Now I just have 120 Pokegold sitting there on my account, taunting me, reminding me of my shameful lack of self control.I am no longer F2P.
>>56926734HOLD GOLD FOR MINISETHOOOOOOOOOOOLDMore bundles on black fridaybro...
>>56926734Throw it all at packs to get rid of the evidence.
>>56926485Also, the event hourglasses will most likely not expire with the event (as in, they are probably not specific to this event).If you look at the items in your account inventory, you'll notice that the Meowth Event Shop Tickets are called "Event Shop Ticket (Meowth)", indicating that they are exclusive to that event and will expire when the event ends, however the event hourglasses are simply called "Event Hourglass", suggesting that they are probably not exclusive to the Lapras event and will probably not expire.
I came from playing Yugioh, this game is seriously too barebones for my liking mechanics wiseis the actual TCG this simple? Whats different in real life?
>>56926733You're missing the point. 70 is very expensive for "mid" cards, and 150 is very expensive for rares. Both of these rarities are integral to every deck, and they "cost" 1 and 2 weeks, respectively, for a single card. A trainer shouldn't cost a week's worth of points. A Gardevoir shouldn't cost 2 weeks worth of points, it should cost 1 week's worth of points. The pack point prices aren't cheap. I'm someone who has all the EXs, but I keep getting dupes and dupes, and I still need the 150 rares and the 70 trainers, and I'd have to blow all of my pack points to buy them, and I still wouldn't get them all. I just keep getting duplicate EXs.
>>56926744>will probably not expireIf only someone would check if they have a marker for how long until they expire or not.
>>56926581Just got my second mewtwo ex with the full art in my first 20 packs. All I need now is the regular mewtwo to finish off the deck, feels good.
>starts in 21 days>5 in a rowno... ic ant do that......
>>56926746This is how abused women talk after they get a normal boyfriend.
>>56926748You've bitching about this for hours. Go check yourself, faggot.
>>56926758>Nobodys ever treated me like you did before...>*starts playing yugioh again behind your back*
>>56926634it's sleep, make your opponent lose all coinflips and you win
>>56926750>pikachu ex exclusive event
>>56926747>cards that are integral to every deck should be dirt cheapThey are dirt cheap for what they do, otherwise you wouldn't even have this discussion.Shit like Sabrina is likely never losing relevance and is played in almost every deck, so frankly, 70 points for one is extremely cheap.This is also ignoring the context of early free shit, which you're supposed to use to build your first decks. You're not supposed to constantly swap decks.
>>56926747No, man. YOU'RE missing the point. This is a gacha game. They want moneeeeeeeeey. Of course they're going to put things just out of reach for f2p players.
>>56926762>>56926758nice projecting, not my fault she cheated on you bromaybe do better in bed
>>56926760I'll do that as soon as I can. Oh wait, that's when the next one rolls around, at which point this line of discussion is pointless.
>>56926773>No, man. YOU'RE missing the point.No, I'm not missing the point. One anon was complaining that the card prices are expensive, and then another anon was being a condescending facetious little shit with greentext, and this condescending anon is just not getting it. The cards are expensive to craft. It seems easier to get EX cards than it is to get simple things like trainers or rares, which is both a blessing and a curse. Besides, if you're replying to me with that, then you agree (with both that anon and me) that the pack point prices for trainers and rares are expensive, and so there's no point to be arguing. >>56926772One week for a card that is mandatory is not cheap. Perhaps it's not expensive, but it's not cheap. Two weeks for a rare, however, *is* expensive. Wanna play Mewtwo but can't get a Gardevoir? You're gonna have to wait a month, and that's assuming that you got all the other cards it wants.
>>56926747trainers by themselves are only 1 point wonder picks and a lot of times they appear alongside other cards you need
The Event Hourglasses don't expire.Here's a description comparison between the Event Hourglasses and Event Tickets (Meowth), which do expire.The Meowth event tickets clearly state that they will be deleted when the event ends. The hourglasses do not, the event hourglass description even avoids any mention of the Lapras event specifically, instead alluding to 'Select Solo Battles or Events', which implies that it's for more than just the Lapras event.
>>56926789using WP for trainers has terrible EV because you're spending 1WP for (a chance at) a 70PP card, whereas you could be spending 3WP for a 500PP one. like you said sometimes they appear alongside rares, but at that point the overall WP cost is dictated by the rare so the 1WP argument never has any grounds
>>56926806More importantly, you can see that the Tickets will expire in 4 days, while the Hourglasses don't.
>blocks your path
>>56926808?If what you need is another rare then it's still 1 wonder and better than spending 70 points.
>>56926817artist?
>Sabrina his Ralts and win two coin flips>Sabrina his second Ralts and win two more coinflipsThis had to be infuriating.
>>56926819again, if the rarest card in your WP is worth 70 points it's not a good idea, because you sure as hell aren't saving 500 points for EXs, so your only reliable avenue to get them is WPs, and you can't waste 1 of them for a card that you can much more realistically get with points
>>56926820https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/277602
>>56926841Better off rolling the ex from packs instead.
>>56926750I can't wait to make people furiously angry when I flip two heads on my Marowak EX and annihilate their Mewtwo EX bullshit.
>>56926832I have no fucking sympathy for Mewtwo EX/Gardevoir players. I swear 8 out of 10 games I've played in the event have been against these decks, they are a cancer.

>>56926750this event is gonna cause so much butthurt.for me too, mind you.
>>56926882I wonder if there's a way for us to set up facing fellow /ppg/ members, with pre-determined concedes.
>>56926877fuck you
>>56926887No, because at off-hours there are 1 million japanese people playing so you have no chance of ever intentionally matching with someone specific.
>>56925444I got stomped on by a hypno deck with my Charizard deck. Most unique build deck I saw that could counter me when I started with the perfect hand. >>56925593Yeah when I realized that's how the game works. I now only have two total basics in my Charizard deck. One charmander and one moltress. The only rng is getting my charmeleon since I can only have two vs the four Charizards.
I rate the Dragonite Wheezing deck 1/10.Complete dogshit.Even Aggro Beedrill accomplishes more.
PikaEx + Raichu is broken, tier 0 type shit
>>56926865Pikachu ex is more bullshit than mewtwo. Just shovel their hand a few times back into their deck and they're never evolving their ralts
>>56925593*basic ex shouldn't count for this rule (or pokeballs)or just nerf the fuckers jesus christ
>>56926905beedrill is unironically top tier
>>56926870This is why I stopped running Meowth in Mewtwo, on paper it sounds good but if your key pieces are at the very bottom of the deck drawing 2 or even 3 extra cards aren't going to help you.
>>56926918but in that case you're losing anyway, meowth not helping there doesn't make a difference. it helps when you're not getting fucked over.
My question is, which scenario happens once the event ends:a.) Event stamina gets frozen for a week since there's no drop event going on and if you ended on empty you're at a disadvantage when the next one starts if you didn't have hourglassesb.) You start with a full bar / it still recharges in the background until the next one starts.
Might delete my account today. I've had enough of this game's shit.
>>56926844
>>56926931ok
>>56926926the energy is almost always gonna be more valuable than the draw you're getting, plus running meowth in the first place is gonna fuck up your pokeballs and initial draw
>>56926930neither.every event has its own stamina
>>56926944>this is okay>I can't name my deck Zapdos ex
>>56926946>the energy is almost always gonna be more valuable than the draw you're gettinglol and what else am I gonna use my energy on? my non existent dratini, or a 5th on my draginair that won't evolve?
Chad decks:>Bee>Machamp>ElectrodeSissie decks:>Everything else
>>56926930It obviously keeps filling in the background, and therefore will be at full when the event starts.
Wow she is so cool
>wonder pick refreshes at regular intervalsokay but how much time is there between each "regular intervals" ?
>>56926980Look at your Wonder Picks. There's a timer on each one.
Why is fucking everything in this game genwunner bait?
>>56926991Because the first set is focused on Gen 1, obviously.
>>56926991genwunners have the deepest pockets and the most rosy of goggles
ok i cleared them all. now the real dripfeed of nothing but a pack every 10h starts
>don't play misty/pika/mewtwo deck>get no thanks after battles>doesn't matter who won or lostwhat's happening with the playerbase?
>>56927001the initial marketing push died down and now it's just a run of the mill gacha filled with sweaty virgins
>>56926991Because it is literally the first set.
>>56927001I only ever get thanks when I lose.
Useful utility or meme?
>no molters in opening hand>concedesimple as
>>56927021like everything in this game mileage depends completely on luck
>>56926991KANTOOOOOOO pandering is the easiest way to print money. Expect more KANTOOOOOOO in the miniset and then the set after we can hopefully expect some Johto hype. Although, I wouldn't mind if they skipped straight to Unova. I want my wife on the game asap.
Can’t wait til we get our free promo basic Mewtwo, I have some heat cooked up>>56926908It has a really good matchup vs other Pikachu which is where the hype comes from but still having a 1 prize burst damage wincon gives the deck a dimension it didn’t have unless you’re a Zapdos flip god. I think it’s still being optimized with mon counts though since shit like double mag makes it a little more of a brick risk than standard builds
>>56927021You run exactly one copy of it in a deck that wants fossils to protect from Sabrina and most of the time it's main use will be to give Old Amber an extra 60 HP when things are going wrong to buy a turn or two. But sometimes, when things are going really really wrong, you can get two energy on there and steal a game.
This is your starting Blaine hand. Say something nice about it.
>>56927036>full art Sabyou already won the gameeverything else is just a victory lap
>>56927021I think it’s awesome but just remember every flip in this game is a calculated risk and should not be a win or lose situation unless you’re on the backfoot. His best value in the meta is that many decks end up playing to a single win condition (Zard, Venu, a single built Mewtwo) which you have a 50% chance to thwart, biggest thing working against it is the Pika matchup but the decks that would include it either aren’t scared of Pika or have other ways of countering it (ie Arcanine on fire)
whats a good counter to pika ex and lightning decks? Im facing so many rn
>>56925440>steel will get steelix and scizorLmao, enjoy all basics in your deck being the wrong color. Steel will still be shit, Weezingchads will be eating good.
>>56927051-1 lee+1 khan
>>56927051For your specific deck or a deck in general? If it’s the latter just run Fighting
>no handscoped hand in battlelogwhat the fuck
>>56926485>in the future, events will SURELY have>trust me, bro!
>>56926485Oh, you probably have not realized this, but losing does not cost you stamina. It only gets used up when you win. So whether next stages cost more does not matter as long as the number of rewards matches the stamina cost.
>>56925440those sound pretty good ngl
How to make people spend more on cards: make them unable to buy previous packs when new ones get released.Will they do it?
>>56926417I bough a Charmeleon and a Blaine with points!I bought a Charmeleon and a Blaine with points!
What do I do with these dupes now that I have 2 copies of each flair? Can I burn them for dust or something or are they just dead weight?
>>56927086If you read the tooltip for pack points it says:>If the availability period of a booster pack ends, its pack points will no longer be available for exchangeSo yeah, probably.
>>56927086Definitely. Banners going out of print is a staple of gacha.
>>56927086Absolutely. That way they can reintroduce an old pack later and still make money while having produced no actual new content.
>>56927098>>56927103>>56927106Pika/M2/Zard going away in december/january confirmed?
If people don't want to pay, the best time to use the free pass is right before the Mewtwo missions end, so you can get two seasons worth of currency with one pass.
>>56927124They will almost certainly have at least two maybe even three sets of boosters going concurrently at all times, every other card game does.
>>56927150This is, first and foremost, a gacha, not a card game.
do you guys put the sparkly shit on your cards
>>56927150>>56927153They will keep a common pool of common cards across set rotations. The "sets" are most likely going to just be rare cards and stuff to maximize the laziest content dripfeed possible and eventually put this game on auto-update mode like PokeMas. Just don't get too optimistic and don't treat it like a competitive TCG.
>>56927036Blaine?
>>56927036I mean it's not great but the fact you got a Ponyta and Pokeball to start with is far better than most hands I get.
Why are there two threads sharing /ppg/Anyway, I'm opening pikachu packs myself.I'm torn between using wonder picks to get Erika and Giovanni or using pack points to craft them. Any advice?
>>56927086They'll rotate them out but they likely won't start doing that until there are several expansions out
>>56927183the other /ppg/ is for the gigaleak and is bound to die off once the leaks dry up, which I'm hearing they have since the leaker is quitting before he gets caught
I finally grinded out the mewtwo deck playing solo. Is it time for online now?
Should I unfriend anyone who opens packs in non-English so I avoid wonder pick packs shown being wasted on non-English cards? I don't want cards in other languages.
should I switch to not rolling the Charizard pack knowing >>56926417 is happening in a few days
What the hell do those gold passes you get with premium do?
>>56927180The pokeball yielded the other Ponyta of course and I eventually lost to a slow ass Venusaur with a failed last ditch Tail Whip roll.
>>56927224you can buy shit in the premium store with those
>>56927204>only 1 m2>no gardkeep grinding f2pleb
Use this Misty as the next thread OP
>>56927271
Beat two fire decks with my butterfree/Lilligant deck.
>What if we made a Lapras ex but worse?>Say no more...
>>56927311>1shots Pika EX and birds>worse
Why aren't you playing a Dugtrio deck and making people mad as fuck?
>>56927311Lapras EX is a meme. Literally a worse Articuno. Arcanine actually has meta relevance.
>>56927311Look at his paws
>>56927322I lost to a Dugtrio Bonehead team but it's vulnerable to Sobrino.
>switch to fighting deck to counter pikachu>start getting mewtwo players mysterious...
think they'll do a team rocket themed pack at some point?
>KO opponent's pokemon with Pincurchin>Forgot that I still have to do the coin flip to see if I paralyze the fainted pokemon>Forgot about this for like 30 seconds, assuming opponent would have played their turn out>Look back and realize I left my opponent on read for that longThe game made me BM the other guy. Wasn't my fault.
>>56927332>he swapped deck?>Dump de M2 stock
>>56927311>>56927324which of you sons of bitches declawed my arcanine
just trying to wrack up wins with a pretty limited pool so i'm playing zapdos pure (my only EXs are two zapdos) and every time i get to 3 energy people just concede.
>>56927311I use this and have won more games than with any other deck
I haven't gotten an EX in like 15 or 20 packs now. Just give me Charizard EX or Starmie EX you faggot ass packs.
So far I only have a pika ex / zapdos ex deckI want to do something else, what would you suggest? I value fun a bit more than pure meta strength, that's not to say I want the new deck to be a total shit meme though
>>56927375something with weezing, you can pick its pairing based on what you already have. could be anything between alakazam, venu ex, wigglytuff ex, marowak ex, arbok, hypno, blastoise ex
>>56927375if you got the event mankeys and some primapes you could make a primape deck and just go full unga bunga
>>56927320In what universe does Arcanine one-shots birds
>>56927421Giovanni, presumably.
>>56927417Are the event ones different than the normal ones?
>>56927417>tfw pikafag>pika packs build one deck>the other packs won’t cough up the low rarities needed for other decksImagine pulling ninetales or primeape. I can’t!
>>56927424with Giovanni it only does 130 damage. Moltres alone has 140 HP
>>56927426it has 10 less health, does 10 more damage with it's attack, and it's attack also does 10 damage to itself which is good because when you evolve it into a primape it's attack does 40 for 2 energy but does an extra 60 if it has less then full health so by your second or third turn you can be dealing a 100 damage a turn. Bit of a glass canon but can be fun if you can pull it off. Maybe throw in some zubat/golbats as well to help deal with mewtwo decks since both forms only need 1 colorless energy to attack.
>>56927451I wish there was some way of getting damage on your Primeape other than it being attacked. I suppose there's technically Zapdos but that's not practical.
>>56927463>I wish there was some way of getting damage on your Primeape other than it being attacked.Event Mankey?
>>56927469Suppose it's my fault for being unclear. What I'm trying to say is there's no real way to do a come-from-behind victory using only Primeape, because you either need to endure an attack with only 90 HP or you need to somehow set it up so event Mankey can get a free attack in, at least if you want to be able to do 100 damage yourself.
>>56926054I don't own it, Arisu-chan
Is there seriously no mmr or some sort of ranking system? 25% of my matches are against big noobs, almost bot-like. The other 75% are against whales that almost always crush me.
>>56926059>Arcanine ex pairs better with Rapidash desu
>>56927469think he means if you don't open with event mankey and draw into later and have to put it on you bench. Cause if you can't get that thing attacking by your 2nd or 3rd turn everything on the field will probably 1 shot it so you are kind of forced to evolve it just so it can actually survive being punched in the face.
>>56926054its a stage 2 that needs a Giovanni to KO even non-ex basic shit
>play in beginner>5 thanks in 15 matches>play in standard>5 thanks in 7 matchesMorality: being a bully is bad for you
>>56927430>>56927421Blaine buffs Arcanine by 30. It OHKOs Pika/Mew2 EX
>guy rage d/cs and i'm forced to sit there for 2 minutes while his time ticks down>i send him thanks after my win:)
>>56927501>During this turn, attacks used by your Ninetales, Rapidash, or Magmar do +30 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon.
>>56927487>Is there seriously no mmr or some sort of ranking system?Nope. There's barely a battle system and no trade system. There should be a deck ranking system so you don't go into elite as a n00b and vice versa.
>>56927501Why would you lie on the internet like that?
Where's the new thread? This one is on page 10.
>>56927501Blaine doesn't work on arcanine
>>56927487There is in the event, you'll always go against people who have a similar win total to you
>>56927542bullshit, I'm at 30 wins and I've gone up against some absolutely ass decks from even 25
>>56927551Yeah, and? You lose, leading to you facing people who have also lost, and they're playing shit.
>>56927551Ok, go ahead and let me know how many 45 win badges you see before you hit 45 wins yourself.
>>56927579
New>>56927595
Anyone here try this?It looks like alot of setup for an all or nothing risk.
>>56927599It's a great idea if facing a mewtwo deck
>>56927599Yeah it's good for countering Mewtwo/Charizard decks as those require some setup. Coin flip is a bitch though, cause if you don't get lucky, you're dead in 1-2 turns.
>>56927599if this hits a tier 3 does it shuffle all 3 into the deck and they start again?
I just wanted the butterfree.
>>56927542so non-event is the wild west? And speaking of the event, I earned stuff in single player but I'm not getting anything in multiplayer. aside from a badge. Are there no event card rewards like in single player?
>>56927782no you just get xp
You didn't beat the gameAbsolute bullshit card
>>56927816Did you flip tails again with Misty :^]
>>56927816he's so cute tho
>>56927821I tried a pure lapras deck. 3 mistys across 2 games, zero heads flipped. immediately stopped using it. misty sucks.
how the fuck do you whale this hard and still ragequit with your mewtwo deck against a fucking primeape
>>56927886Did he actually ragequit?
>>56927899I guess? He went afk on his turn long enough for it to pass, instead of just conceding
>>56927886Ties into vanity if they did timestall
>>56927833I thought it was bad because I built a deck that NEEDED it. Its best in a deck where if you get tails, it's whatever. But if you get heads, the game swings wildly in your favor. That's why things like systmie that need 2 energy are great, or articuno. Lapras is a car that relies too heavily on it, and so its actually costly to miss
>>56927886>complains about player online>withdraw friend requestAlso thanks for the friend ID
>>56928018it's impossible to win if you miss it with lapras. mewtwo EX one shots you and you have to two shot it, you just don't have enough time. without going-second turn one misty to 2+ energy you are basically done.
