how do i play marowak ex correctly?
>>
>>56934647
3D art is the main reason I never played the irl TCG. I remember wanting to play a Lycanroc deck, but full arts looking like picrel was an insane turnoff, or even worse, the some of the rarer cards being rainbow barf just looked disgusting. Would it really have been so hard to just pay an artist to draw the pokemon doing something cool? Either way, I know a lot of recent cards have had really good alt arts but I still feel like it's too late to get into the irl TCG.

>>
>>56934691
Same honestly.

Not the main reason perse, but it's certainly a major turn off.
If I am going to be spending money into physical decks, potentially good money for certain cards, I want it to LOOK nice.
I'm not spending money on something that looks like ass, and they use the same shitty design for all the EX GX cards 3d garbage.

And then yeah they look good now which is amazing, but it feels too late by now to get into and idk how healthy the meta is rn I think some people were complaining about the new tera cards?
>>
>>56934714
>>56934691
A bit unrelated but that's the reason I can't get into magic either, I like the mechanics and when other people copy it, but the art is just, ugly, and with very small windows.

I don't even know if magic has full arts or not.

I don't like how lazy the 3D render art feels but I don't really like the drawn art in TCGP either. The one drawn art I really like is the Machamp EX though, that is a beauty. If the other drawn cards were more like that I'd vehemently vouch for more drawn art, but as things are, most things are just meh.

Yes rotate your phone 90 degrees flip at a 27 degree angle while humming the JP version of the season 1 anime opening.
>>
>>56934761
my headcanon is that unless you get a real good flip where the coin spins multiple times in air it catches on the table and lands on tails.

The 20 card limit and 2 copy limit, combined with no mulligan... I start a round, see my hand, concede instantly. Needs improvement. I would like to play with a full deck. I have 3 eeveelutions but only 2 eevees...

>tera cards
Not sure if this is a hot take, but I hate Dyna'd and Tera'd pokemon with a insane passion. Pokemon being skyscraper huge definitely was just a fetish that someone at GF was lucky enough to pass off as a mechanic, and the concept of Tera is cool, but it's visual execution is the most soulless thing to come out of Pokemon in years. I just can't look at this Charizard with crystal skin wearing a chandelier and think it's cool.

>>56934717
Never played Magic, but there's a lot of really cool full art cards, it's just that you're more than likely to pay more than you'd like for them. But that how most TCG are anyways.

>>56934718
Define early years? I've played the pokemon video games since RS/FRLG, but the Yugioh TCG had my heart from '03-'16. Around when they released Links is when I wanted to switch to the Pokemon TCG, but the 3D card art stopped me.

My biggest hope for this game is they try to use less 3D artwork as time goes on.

I'll give, I should have just said it wasn't my preference, it's not like I think a majority of it is poorly drawn. Also haven't really seen any of the standout good cards to be fair just casual pack pulling stuff.

Too much realism for my tastes and the shading + muted color pallet, idk it doesn't really seem "exciting".
Not even just a "western art eww" I guess I just find it boring.usually.
Just causally scrolling through img results and I think a lot of them can feel a bit too zoomed out too?

I agree with you in spirit. MTG art makes me feel like an old school nerd, but Pokemon art (the drawn stuff) makes me feel nostalgia, and that's a hell of a drug.

>>56934845
Misty fucking sucks anyways, I had articuno and gyarados to go with Misties and everything would go great until the first coin and both misties would tails and I get fucked. Coin flip = no fun. Might as well just roll dice or something and make Pokemon noises yourself.
>>
>>56934810
I'm so sick of Dragonite decks. They're so ass into everything in the meta, but they're unbeatable for my non-ex shitdecks. It's the kind of deck I hate more than anything else, it can't beat anything good but can beat whatever I specifically am playing. So naturally, it's all I face. Carefully calibrate your deck to beat Pikachu, Mewtwo, and Charizard? Sorry, Dragonite is the most popular deck in the game and your MMR isn't high enough to match against exclusively good decks.
>>
>>56934826
I don't use it, Lapras EX is just technically better. I like the alt art too, but I don't have a use for it right now. If you're ok with waiting for her I'll trade them for something cool.

>>56934830
>Just causally scrolling through img results and I think a lot of them can feel a bit too zoomed out too?
I think I get it. The card arts themselves are supposed to be more like art pieces than character-focused TCG card arts. That's probably what's throwing you off.

>>56934833
>WotC era, Gen 1 in general
>WotC stopped making Pokemon cards in 2003
Ahhhh, ok. Not only was I really into Yu-Gi-Oh then, but I was like 6 years old in '03. I had Pokemon cards but I kept them in a rubber band and didn't play using energies.
>>
>>56934867
I think water decks can't have multiple pokemon lines that need excessive amounts of energy.
>>
Just had Misty pay out on turn 1 for the first time ever
>>
>>56934874
>Lapras EX is just technically better
But lapras ex requires much more energy to attack and to retreat and gives 2 prizes.
>>
>>56934867
The whole game is honestly becoming less and less fun as things shake out. Too many coin flips, too many stupid unfun decks, too much power imbalance. The whole meta is just "god i hope mewtwo doesnt draw gardevoir" "god i hope moltres flips 3 tails" "god i hope i dont brick slightly against this pikachu" "oh misty flipped 3 heads go next"
>>
>>56934740
I'll definitely get full art Misty soon right?!
>>
>>56934875
Those were my big output for the deck, the whole point was get one out ASAP and ramp with Misty. Totally RNG, fun when it worked, usually just ends with seething rage.
>>
>>56934849
Odds of you rolling into m2 is still incredibly low, if you're cool with marowak and are fine investing wonder picks into m2, you'll get them eventually but it might take a really long while if you're unlucky
Cash in some of your ten rolls, if you don't get one I'd just reroll for 2
>>
>>56934870
I see a Dragon deck maybe once every 10 battles.
If you’re having trouble against them pack double Sabrina and some fast setup mons. I have played that deck often enough to tell you that Dragon decks fail as any time because of the luck factors.
>>
>>56934879
Bro, Lapras needs 4 energy to deal 90 damage, vs EX doing 80 and being able to heal 20. Regardless of which one you pick, you're going to want Misty for both.
>>
>>56934887
Pikachu packs suck. I really don't see the lasting appeal for any of the cards in that pack besides Misty, and I just WP one of her to avoid using some of my 220 points.
>>
>>56934761
My headcanon is that if I throw the coin far enough it has a better chance of heads.

>>56934900
Also Lapras EX only needs 3 energy*

I never got anything good from unique packs. All my full arts and exes were from opening 10 packs at once or wonder picks.
>>
>>56934900
I don't need lapras to deal damage. That's just a bonus. I need a meat shield to absorb damage while I build up my actually dangerous things.

That's one of thr things I learned from playing in the tournament this past weekend. Having a wall of tanks to switch out and defend your carry card is invaluable. Only problem is Zapdos seems to be the absolute best at that, since it only costs 1 energy to attack and retreat, and as a last resort has a huge nuke for 3 energy. The issue is that a lot of the water cards that aren't ex and are basic have low hp. I really want to put zapdos into my water decks to take hits.

I'd also think that if the online TCG was exactly like the IRL TCG people would play only one or another and choose the online TCG cause it's F2P.

doing it this way preserves both online and IRL games.
>>
>>56934881
The game is very simplistic. With only 3 points needed to win and so little mechanics, what exactly do you expect. It's the kind of card game an 8 year old can play on the phone while riding in mom's car.
It just needs more depth and complexity for things to become interesting.

Zapdos ex is probably the best tank in the game. Moltres ex and Articuno ex need 2 energy to retreat. Things like chansey and snorlax costs a million to retreat or attack. Baby mewtwo is actually pretty solid since it has more hp than other non ex basics and only costs 2 to retreat.

yea, I fucking hate the 3D "art." What a fucking mistake. It's like preferring AI slop. Sure it "technically" looks more impressive because of the rendering, detailed light sources, etc. but it's so fucking bland and generic that it doesn't really evoke any real emotion. It just looks "pretty" but that's it. That isn't to say 3D art can't look good, the OG Porygon card has soul because it just thematically fucking works and stands out. But just shoehorning 3D models with cool effects and showcasing them as the "ultimate" rarity cards is a fucking disgrace. These shitty 3D cards shouldn't exist, the Pokemon TCG should be used to showcase talented artists interpreting Pokemon in their own styles, not bland restrictively on-model slop that looks like a generic image you'd find on the back of the game's cover alongside the synopsis.

If you want a meta deck to play, yeah since you need other packs to make articuno good
If you like the art you can just have fun playing marowak, it's not a big deal having a meta deck since there's no ranked and the events don't care about winning pvp games, fancy marowak is a good reason not to reroll if you like him enough, m2 will come eventually

It's not going to get better with more mechanics. This was the initial release, with the smallest card pool and the most prep tome. They clearly put a lot of time and effort into the game, and what they ended up with wasn't good enough. It's not going to get better when thye have more cards to worry about and less time to balance. This was it, they showed the best they could do, it's downhill from here.

>Yeah the UI is fucking retarded, having to manually add it every time to every deck, like holy shit it's like they crapped this game out in a matter of weeks with how low IQ and rushed these decisions are
on top of which I'm fairly certain it was bugged. I only have 2 promo meowth's left and it costs like 2 or 3 to get the cheapest flair.
I know I wouldn't have used a basic meowth (WHICH I HAVE 8 OF) to make flair with.

there's also no instruction on how to do it all and you can't see any of the flair until you actually start to spend the dust and cards to get it.

uh oh stinky uwu

>>56934986
I mostly see Mewtwos, then some sort of Starmie/Cuno/Lapras deck, then quite a few running Venusaur Liligant lately for some reason.


Look at that tier and typing chart anon; almost any deck shuts dragonite down.
I have played at least 10 games with mine and I almost never felt in control, even when I won.

1. Go to Las Vegas
2. Spend $$$ on slots
3a. Did you win? Great, ride the wave of lady luck and play Las Vegas Bonehead.
3b. Did you lose? No worries, that means you exhausted all your bad luck. Time to play Las Vegas Bonehead, you can't possibly lose 2 times in a row on your odds, right? 99% of all gamblers give up right before they win big!!!

>>56935011
No, I asked what you play. Never mind, I know the answer - you play some sort of meta ex deck, right? That's why you don't have problems with Dragonite. Because it's a shitty deck that can't beat good decks, like I said about ten times in my initial post. But what it does really well is stomp off-meta non-ex decks. I know that I can beat dragonite with my Charizard deck, that's not the issue. The issue is that I can't beat dragonite with my fun Tentacruel Golduck deck. Dragonite is the most irritating kind of deck, a gatekeeper. It can't beat the good decks, but it prevents you from playing anything fun. If you try and play a non-meta non-ex deck, I promise you, you'll start seeing more and more Dragonites as you get sucked into the gravitational well of their MMR - lower than the good decks but higher than the literal piles of random garbage.
>>
>>56934930
>>
>>56935048
that's a discount charizard/moltres deck.
>>
>>56935047
And I want to be clear that fun decks CAN beat the meta decks. The issue is when you get a few unlucky matches against Mewtwo and the game starts to match you against Dragonite, and now your MMR spirals down so you never see anything remotely good ever again. I want to face Pikachu.
>>
>>56935048
>Have a Moltres EX

How often has energy pools fucked you over?
>>
I have yet to face Venusaur or anything cool. It's all Articuno/Lapras/Pikachu/Zapdos/Mewtwo/Gardevoir with the occasional Bone/Vegas or Charizard mirror,
>>
>>56935071
If you don't roll at least 2 or 3 energy for Centi you're pretty fucked as you'll be stalled long enough for the opponent to build up too much or damage/KO Moltres enough to be a concern.

If you can get Centi on your bench quick with at least 3 energy on it before your turn to attack, you can use it well.
>>
>>56935054
Yeah and it's f2p af and stalls for longer since koga is a thing
It's more of a discount moltres arcanine deck since it's a stage 1
>>
>>56934930
I have this deck and my grimer/muk has never done anything yet
>>
>>56934998
They should do this instead of using 3D slop.
>>
>>56935084
same. i usually only face mewtwo or pikachu.

I'd build a dark or fighting deck, but I just don't have the cards.
>>
>>56935047
I don't have many good decks just Bonehead with Grappaloct. Starmie Ex/Lapras Ex, and Dragons.
I'm very close to building a Fire deck depending on what I can draw.

I'm pretty sure I'm near your MMR anyways because I too rarely see Pika decks, but for me Dragons are still even rarer. I encounter decks made by kids that don't know what they're doing like they stick an Articuno with a Pikachu but then will attach a lighning energy to the 'cuno. I once had a Dragon vs Dragon mirror match though lol.
>>

If you mean dark/fire generation, not much since you can still poison with weezing and if you stall long enough moltres will feed your fire energy anyways

I have a Charizard Ex/Moltres Ex deck and a Exeggcutor EX/Butterfree deck that get me by most of the time. god damned fucking flips

The best way to get good picks is to always be sure to cleanly slice the pack open in one fast swipe, timing your swipe to the start of the animation along the seal.
>>
>>56935002
Promo cards only consume 1 copy to get flair, but cost more dust.
>>
Do I trust Lugia?
>>
>>56935163
And you have to open from left to right.
Because pokemon are Japanese, and they read from left to right.

Also, you to open the pack perfectly across the blue line, no white on either side.
>>
>>56935107
I don't have any Primeapes.
How do you not get dead hands with only 4 basics in your decks?
>>
>>56935180
>How do you not get dead hands with only 4 basics in your decks?
profs research and poke ball. sans those, you have sabrina and red card.
>>
>>56935180
You will always start with a basic in Pokemon. Even if it's just one thing he will definitely get a mankey or a shrew and then can clutch oak or pokeball from there.

So what's the point of fossils then? Is it literally just making your opponent take one less price card?
>>
>>56935237
The only reasonable strat is Exeggutor ex and luck.
>>
>>56935246
They evolve into the fossilmons.
Just like they did in 1998.
>>
>>56935248
Exeggutor and Butterfree with Erika x2 and hope to god that you get your meta out super early.

and hit the flips
>>
>>56935175
Did you get it? I failed back when I tried before and it still irks me (though I'd probably be hung up about chasing a 2nd copy anyway if I got one).
>>
>>56935246
Their intended purpose is when you're hoping to get Gardevoir on your next turn but instead get a shitty fucking fossil because you decided to waste a fucking slot in your deck for a very niche and specific scenario in which your opponent uses Sabrina and you need a meatsheild with 0 retreat costs, but they're using a mon that just so happens to have weaker than 40HP output; so you concede the next turn.
>>
>>56935267
I decided not to trust him, I only really wanted it for a collection purposes, and I don't really need it for a deck.
>>
>>56935194
>and then can clutch oak or pokeball from there
Yep, this deck is confirmed not for me, I can never clutch anything.
>>
>>56935246
>Is it literally just making your opponent take one less price card?
If your opponent kills a fossil, they still get a point.
>>
>>56935104
I imagine Marowak and Starmie do better against dragonite, so you're probably slightly above that MMR, but maybe not if you're seeing literal garbage piles. Maybe I just attract dragons IDK, I definitely don't want this power.

>>56935296
Personally, I'd only play them if you're playing Kabutops, Omanyte, or Aerodactyl. If you don't have any of those in your deck, I think fossils are a retarded thing to "tech" in, but there's some Mewtwo player here who swears by them. I've tried them and they're not good.

i literally have no other good grass deck. if it's not my exeggutor ex/butterfree deck it's a deck the game built.

I'm certainly not using my rental decks. I only have 10 uses out of those.

>>56935280
What about when you instead draw a shitty jynx that is worthless to you and will only draw resources away from mewtwo, and the enemy, say, has a 2 energy no garde mewtwo on the field or anything else that can't ohko your jynx, or base mewtwo (even worse!) and you have no xspeeds so you can't retreat and keep tempo.

Imagine allowing yourself to be cucked due to lack of retreating when you have a fully powered m2 and gard on the bench but you can't retreat your random basic when you could if it was a fossil, or it would already be dead, and you an start wrecking with m2.

If you play base mewtwo a smart opponent will just let it sit there while they powerup, and then Sabrina you for tempo, and then jynx can cuck you a turn if you lack the speed which can be game losing.
meanwhile with fossil, it's usually a guaranteed extra turn at the cost of a point, and it's impossible for the enemy play around, forcing them to ko it and to give you the free switch,
A smart player isn't going to kill your meat shield unless it allows them good tempo, making low retreat cost vital, which is what fossils excel at.
You sacrifice survivability in order to better maintain both tempo and consistency in your pulls.
>>
I do kinda like how opening packs is apart of the experience in this game. I hate gachas that force non whales to just save for months until something they want comes around. This game just gives you free packs and you cant stock them, so you just kinda open them daily which is fun.

holy shit imagine they did a new mainline game focused on the TCG instead?

it would be similar to the GBC game but with more slice of life things. you could walk around town challenging people, getting money for binders, sleeves, playmats etc. You could customize your player fully of course and have clothing for sale. there would be local tournaments and a big tournament also. could be some story elements of a dickhead rival who steals your cards.

Would be cool but we're gonna get a new sloppa with 100 new dogshit looking "pokemon" and the story will be designed for 2 year olds.

What is a skillful deck
>>
>>56935346
What you said makes sense except that they are hurting the HG rate because of it. I don't think we've even gotten enough HGs for 100 pack pulls meaning you can't dig for something you want barring the initial reroll (which is why that's the best time you'll have of the game). If we got more regular HGs instead of this awful fractional dripfeed it would be way more welcoming since you wouldn't have to feel so passive.

No seriously, not him, but it might be better for you to reroll. I have 2 alt accounts that I played for 1-2hrs total that are arguably better than yours. The left alt had a full Pikachu EX deck after 20 packs worth of Pika, and a full Char deck after 10 packs of Char, and right alt pulled a Gold Crown, Immersive Char, and an Erika after 10 packs of Char. Your account might just be scuffed bro. If you're too attached to it now then I wish you good luck, but you really should consider rerolling.

>The less Ex and coinflips it uses, the more I'll like it.
The best decks I have seen that don't use EX or flips are Blaine, Greninja/Koga, Alakazam/Jynx, Primape, Nidos, and Melmetal. They are still luck based because you need the right cards in your hands early on. The game doesn't punish losing so it's fun to experiment.

Jynx has 2x the amount of HP so at least lives another turn for you to attach 2 energies onto M2 or buys you another turn to draw Gard.

>>56935753
If you lack the xspeed then attaching the retreat energy on Jynx / keeping her in with a pumped up M2 in the back, that can be the one crucial turn your opponent needs, allowing them a chance to Sabrina and force in your Gardevoir, who has an even higher retreat cost, or force you to sack a Mewtwo and two prizes, etc.

Starmie, Pikachu, and Articuno all one-shot it anyway.
Fossil also shits over people that try and play Sabrina early to establish temporary.

Mewtwo needs your turn energy every turn, and if you have Jynx then you need an xspeed to regain tempo, otherwise you let yourself get slowed down and your opponent has a full turn to do anything they want.

And if they kill it then it's the same as fossil anyway, but with a 1 retreat cost.

Mewtwo is more consistent. Pikachu takes actual thought and it pretty much loses by turn 4 or 5 unless you're playing Raichu or stacking Zapdos, and if you're doing that, you're on the backfoot and in the Zapdos case you need to roll well. Comparatively, Mewtwo is just good and wins on turn 4 or 5. Plus, I think more people are playing Arcanine or Machamp/Marowak to counter Pikachu.

That's just me making things up based on my own personal experience with the game. I don't know anything about that tournament.

I have played multiple gachas that have top tier day 1 units for 1 year+. She's going to be good until they introduce rotation, but if they introduce rotation they're going to need to start giving out way more packs of the new expansions, because f2ps aren't going to even by able to play PvP when that happens at the current rate.

You do legitimately need to think while playing Pikachu. Incorrect lines are much easier to play as Pikachu than as Mewtwo. You can be full brain empty playing Mewtwo. You can do that with Pikachu too, but you'll lose more games, assuming equal levels of thought.

I have everything I would need for a koga deck (2 of each relevant dark types, 2 koga, blah blah), EXCEPT for one grimer. Would it be worth it to craft the stupid grimer to play weezing deck? Is it worth it or just memes? Also the deck doesn't look very powerful, what's the trick?

So after playing over 100 games, I've determined that Potion should be limited. The way that decks like Articuno and Mewtwo can survive just about anything by dumping two potions into their pokemon is very stupid. It's a card that unnecessarily favors big oneshotty ex pokemon, because they both make the best use of it and aren't hindered by it themselves.

A Misty ban and a Potion limit. I think those are the changes I'd make to the game.

I'm not sorry for them. I've had nothing but negative experiences vs Dragonite decks. They all hide behind some random wall like a Snorlax or Articuno and don't interact with you at all. It's a stupid deck that punishes you for playing small pokemon, as if that wasn't already bad, and rewards you for playing big pokemon, as though that wasn't already good.

You must not hear a lot. Potion is the tip of the iceberg, it'd be silly to hit it and create an awful precedent with healing cards. Misty has way more of a chance of being hit since it has garnered more of a negative reaction from the playerbase.
>>
>>56935980
But arbok only has 100hp and 60damage it can dish out, Isnt muk supposed to be your heavy hitter? Also since weezing can't gas leak from the bench, which is fucking stupid, I think that the sequencing that you want with the deck is setting up muk on your bench with arbok/weezing doing chip damage and then when you're ready to do Big Damage you position yourself so you have weezing in active, gas leak, koga/retreat weezing for muk, put koffing on the field if you koga'd, then hit em for 120, right? Otherwise I don't see how you win outside of your opponent being stupid or having terrible luck. And at that point, it's still luck based but it's not your luck you're counting on

>>56936050
On paper Muk sounds nice but in practicality you're sinking 3 turns of energy into an attacker who doesn't even deal full damage unless your opponent is poisoned, and they can switch out if they're onto you. Arbok is better since you can lock in a poisoned mon or Sabrina into a bench mon to lock in to create a favorable position. You're not always going to draw your Koga or even your Grimer/Muk so you have to think on your feet instead of ideal setups. In practicality, Muk was doing worse for me than the consistency and speed of cutting it completely. Like, what are you going to do if Grimer/Muk is your opener? It's dead weight and the opponent will just kill it while it's taking its slow ass time to get going.

No, god no. Grimer/Muk exists to be a gimped Weezing. 1 energy to poison your opponent for Arbok. Muk exists to enable you to get Grimer out of the active spot with Koga, assuming it lives a turn. Muk can also stall a turn before the Koga to buy you time. You rarely, if ever, go on the offensive with Muk. If you want a heavy hitter then you drop the Grimer/Muk line for Wigglytuff EX.

>>56936108
Koga is definitely the most fun deck to play with since everything else feels super linear. Koga has multiple lines of play and the ability to adjust on the fly. I wouldn't entertain defaulting Muk unless it had 1 less energy and more importantly a 160+ HP breakpoint since all that setup when it can't eat a Mewtwo hit is pointless. That's why speed focus is better since you have to be able to take down your opponent before they get their Mewtwo or Charizard going as each hit is a KO.

This is what I've been saying. So much of the current playerbase's happiness hinges on what they rerolled to hunt for. When that ability to hunt is gone and we get a big batch of new cards, more people will realize just how trash the system is. It was very telling that 4% of global installs came from Japan yet it comprised the biggest spending. That tells you just how much people in the world were installing/rerolling accounts.

Pokeball should also be banned. It's not okay that in my opponent's deck, Pokeball is Mewtwo ex or Pikachu ex, but in mine it's a Squirtle. There's too much of a difference in basic card quality.

What's a good fast meta deck? And when should you reroll an account?
>>
>>56936259
The difference is - French cards will inherently have less collector's value because nobody likes French. Japanese cards will have the top premium collector's value because we're all a bunch of ウィアブ. So when it comes time for trade to be implemented people will go

>What's a good fast meta deck?
Blaine
>And when should you reroll an account?
At the start when you get your first 4 levels and all the free packs from that. Reroll until you get enough relevant EXs for the deck you wanna make and go on from there.
>>
can pokemon ability (like butterfree) be used from the bench, or active only?

It has nothing to do with him in particular, it's a common community opinion that's just in an easily shared video presentation because you could say the same 'why should I care' about rando comments too that make up a big reaction to the battle experience

> so what happens if i switch to english? i have no cards?

All your card packs from then on out open as English cards. They locally convert to your client language, so your current French cards would temporarily become English only for the sake of gameplay, but if you look at the cards in your collection binder they will be in French.

You can change your language at any point without any penalties or cooldowns so it's even possible to just swap your language prior to opening packs, and then change back when you're done. It's just a pain in the ass because it requires a restart every time.
>>
>>56936410
>He literally mentions other card games in detail of how they're better about it
Doubt. Yugioh is even worse of a coinflip simulator to see who goes first. Yeah at least going second decks exist but in BO1 formats that isn't really a thing

It depends on the Pokemon. For example Butterfree's works on the bench, Weezing's doesn't.

all his suggestions are ass except the really obvious stage 1 evo pokemon being better later when there's more cards, there's already obvious tradeoffs in turn order, first energy is always going to favor one person or the other no matter how its done
instead of getting salty you're going first you're just salty you go second or go second + they have x speed in hand if first player can gen energy or put it on a bench mon, and then congrats you're back at the same debate every tcg has on the coinflip turn order

>4 hourglasses/day
>3 days = 12 hourglasses = 1 pack
>70/3 = 23.333
You can also POTENTIALLY get 70 hourglasses per month from the free currency store (requires you to earn at least 210 tickets per month, you get a MAXIMUM of 6 tickets per day, so you max out at 180 tickets per month without taking events into account).
This means the total number of packs you could theoretically get from non-event, regenerating sources by next expansion is 34 (23 from daily hourglasses, 11 from shop hourglasses)
Some events also give hourglasses in small amounts, so in reality it will be slightly more than that.

The majority of F2P packs come from the 2 packs per day you get to open each day.

On a month by month basis, you get 60 packs from daily packs.
10 packs from daily hourglasses (120 hourglasses).
And UP TO 5.8 packs from shop hourglasses (70 Hourglasses MAX, but you are reliant on events to provide at least 30 'bonus' tickets to buy the last 10 AND you must earn your 5 daily tickets by getting thanks from other players).

>>56936529
trainers are like 10x more bullshit in the tcg, there's a literal draw 7
going first and second has obvious tradeoffs and deckbuilding you can take advantage of, the only issue is the aggro decks putting a 90 HP skill check on your deckbuilding and that's barely an issue compared to actual broken shit
the guy is even a misty defender he specifically didn't want to take away first player gets to attack because he didn't want to target the one deck that does that, fucking misty

Because it is based on the pokemon tcg where the games were glacial so turn order mattered less. This format is some bastardization of modern shit and base set were it is incredibly simplistic but also fast as shit. They just chose the worst of both worlds
>>
>>56936625
The main problem is that you can't 'keep' your daily packs, the timer stops counting if you have 2 saved up.
So you can earn at most, over a 3 month period (the average amount of time between expansions), enough hourglasses to buy roughly 45 packs (15/month).
The other 180 packs (60/month) are all ones you HAVE to open as they become available to you as they cannot be hoarded (again, the timer stops counting down after 2 packs are stored).

Which is still enough for what you have in mind, but it is a stark reminder that if you are F2P you should absolutely NEVER spend your hourglasses until just after a new expansion releases, so that you have enough saved up to open enough packs to immediately make a viable deck in the new meta.

Glacial would unironically be far better for this game because it inherently goes against the point of Pokemon having to evolve the way it is now trying to artificially speed things up for the sake of moba, Stage 2 mons are done a disservice by how you don't even get to play the game with them for long as they're expected to be win cons that wrap the game up or are otherwise worthless

Yes, the premium pass is BY FAR the best value out of anything on offer.
For 10 dollars you get 30 packs+a bunch of cosmetic items.

By comparison, for around the same price in the Pokegold store, you get 57 Pokegold. Which is NOT EVEN enough for 10 packs.
For 20 bucks you get 120 gold, which gets you 20 packs, still less than the premium pass gives.
All this in addition to the premium pass giving cosmetics as well, while the pokegold purchases do not.

It is unquestionably the best value you can get in terms of paying for packs and cosmetics.

Garde was freshly evolved somewhere along the line but I kept bringing it out as Kirlia and he was juggling between his two M2's since I kept Pidgeot'ing them away. Point is he couldn't power his M2's because he was burning energies all the time from Pidgeot. Gardevoir came out too late to help, by the time she was born it was already over.

Retard. He is referring to the garde and Erika playmat/coins

I've been playing it in my Venomoth Beedrill deck. I've identified that 80 damage is an extremely important number and Wiggly seems like the best way to find it.

I was considering crafting Charmeleon, but that next event looks like it's coming fairly soon. Should I craft the Sabrina's then to help the possible deck builds I have? Or should I just try and wonder pick that shit?
>>56936511
I just like Charizard :3
I will move into Pikachu to try and get some fun things there, would like Butterfree to help the Exeggutor deck.

By continuing to play the game and provide opponents for other players, I am inherently supporting the game. My time is far more valuable than my money. You should be paying ME to play your game, not the other way around.

These cost $23. Mewtwo costs $10/free if you use your free trial. Hypothetically you're getting Gardevoir for "free" if you buy Erica, but you're forced to buy them both. You're essentially forced to buy Gardevoir if you want Erica, so they're putting the human waifu behind a harder barrier than the Pokewaifu, who you could potentially buy and then use the gold for card packs.

In any case, it's an obvious decision to make waifus paywalled. They know what people want to really pay for. They'll deliver with future updates. Trust. Gacha is fueled by coom, they can't reject that even as a family friendly IP. Expect to see popular female trainers/leaders with cute clothing variants and such.

Shiny, anon. It's for the shiny. n the irl tcg, I'd use all SR basic energies if I could afford it, so I can understand it.

I've been trained by other gachas, thankfully. The priest kept spooking me too much for me to trust rate up.

What I actually want is full art cards of pokewaifus as they can be very lewd, see skyla and wicke full arts, they actually gave them big boobs.

Working on dual type decks, Alakazam is clearly the best and most efficient endgame attacker for a dual type deck but bridging the gap between early and late has led me to many different partners. Now I'm using water type pokemon to use misty to help lessen the energy investment zam needs to attack. Had a khan over sabrina for the pikachu match up but ive found that if i find tentacruel on turn 2 i can win the match up anyhow.

It's taking a little bit because the devs changed the cryptographic keys to slow down miners. This is the only card that's leaked so far, but the leaker said that they should have the rest within 24 hours.

I think it's so fucking funny that he loses to Mewtwo.

Venusaur decks SUCKS for this mission, the trick to complete it is to use fast attackers, Pinsir Beedrill and Exeggutor are the best.

>>56936990
I'm sick of weezing it's fucking boring to build around. Weezing Blastoise is fun at least.

Are you saying you've never ever in your life had multiple tabs open? What a way to live.

>>56936993
Unless you're willing to spend money, hourglasses will be your only source of instantaneous packs when a new expansion comes out.
So if there's a new deck you want to build, you'll be stuck waiting for a month after the set releases before you can pull enough packs to build that deck unless you save your hourglasses.

Not in detail for everything aside from the shitty Venusaur event at all no. No confirmed cards on the mini set or full set after. No details on the Black Friday event, just guesses.

Alakazam is very powerful, I pair it with Hypno. You have to get it into position to revenge kill and either survive or swap for the second one. You can also get screwed by not drawing the right cards.
