I don't know why any sane person would do this to themselves, there's nothing special about what's in this game that warrants spending money unnecessarily, if you just want the shit to stare at you can pull up the same images online for free and likely even find holographic versions too

It was fun but I wish I kept track of my coin flips on the expert battles. They were so fucking cursed there was no way it was a 50:50 flip. Tried to use a Moltres and never once landed a hit with it. Only won the sleep challenge with my Frosmoth after failing six times in a row. Felt good though since it won the match and I'd have lost that turn without it.

Hello, Mewtwo fossilchad posting again.

I have been coming around to the fact that potion is quite good in Mewtwo, but you need to play 2. Gio was an easy cut, but then it became difficult. Currently I'm testing just one fossil (shocker, I know). Next I will test One Sabrina. One X Speed is somewhat interesting to me too, but I'm not sure it's worth it since it minimizes your nut draw when you have to lead on ralts.
As always, playing more than 4 basics is absolutely terrible. I understand why people want little Mewtwo to wall up against Pika, but you can just use 2 Mewtwo Ex. Little Mewtwo is an absolute liability in the mirror. Jinx seems awful. Meowth is terrible. Khan is also quite bad. Sabrina ranges from "trades for x speed" to "absolutely game ending". Red card is very good, but playing more than one seems god awful.
I will try to play that ursii whore's tournament next weekend and bring home the bacon.
Mewtwo is certainly the best deck if played at a high level. I hope that Wheezing/Arbok doesn't grow in popularity since people are starting to realize Mewtwo is better than Pika when played well. No idea how to fix the Dark matchup or if it's even possible. Just gotta hope the pikas kill them all in the first few rounds and I don't get paired up against them.

Currently playing:
2 Mewtwo ex
6 ralts
1 Fossil
2 PokeBall
2 professor
2 x speed
2 Sabrina
2 potion
1 Red card

I'm not opposed to playing the winning list from last tournament either, but I think fossil really helps against mirror Sabrinas and is quite good overall against the field.

I've noticed the entire line barely appears anywhere. Might just be a bit of a rare pull but also made worse by the existence of pika EX decks so not much use in PvP either.

>>56937908

why did they make paralysis so much worse than sleep is my question.
>>
>>56937908
Nah, our only options to get out of paralysis are evolving or Koga. Without the flip it'd be a guaranteed KO and whatever switches in would only get a single turn to kill it.
>>
>>56937908
Is it though? Even if you pass the paralysis check you're still unable to attack for that turn, right? But with sleep you wake up and it's like nothing happened
>>
I have come to the conclusion that it isn’t pika ex that is holding water back. It’s actually zapdos ex. Those 40 damage pokes for one energy are simply too much for a type that is forced to two-shot zapdos to remove it from play. One poke puts starmie ex at 90hp…outside of the range where a potion could save it from pika.

>>56937926
In what ways in Paralysis worse than Sleep? You have to flip a coin for most Sleep effects anyway, and the opponent can still wake up from Sleep by just immediately flipping heads. With Paralysis, there is no roll, only you need to flip heads.

>>56937888
I think that there are many, many cards that don't get played because people rerolled for meta and literally can't get anything else. Like, I'd love to play Kabutops but I don't fucking have any. This guy seems neat, but Tamamo fucking sucks so hard that it might be the reason you literally never see this guy. That, and there's Fighting decks around due to Pikachu being rampant, so you lose to all the people using decks that counter Pikachu.
>>
>>56937888
30 hp on the stage 1 is really rough, it needing double electric means you can't really splash it into other colors, and even for a stage 2 you still need to support it for when it doesn't flip heads
lot of deckbuilding restrictions for an effect basic articuno has, too much work as stage 2 for a support card and really coinflippy as a sweeper
still cool tho, i wanna make him work eventually

you need to set your pre-battle quote to this, it guarantees more heads
>>
>>56937942

to my knowledge all paralysis effects require a coinflip to activate. sleep is guaranteed but coinflips immediately anyway due to turn end. they both do the same thing yet paralysis clears after 1 turn and sleep can persist without the pokemon that initially set it as long as subsequent coinflips keep going well.

I think the thing holding back a lot of cards is the amount of basics that outclass stage 2s that would otherwise be alright.

I you use Red Card when the opponent has 15 cards or less in their deck, it will probably help them, unless you also run Scope and know that they have a bad card for you, but you probably have better things to put into your deck than Scope *and* Red Card.

I did the math on this just now, to have that many cards collected, this guy would have had to spend around 2,000USD on Pokegold to buy packs

>Largest Pokegold pack is 690 Pokegold for 100USD
>13,500/690 = 19.5, so 20 purchases of this pack
>20x100 = 2000USD

So yeah. That's 2 grand within the first month of the game coming out, most of which was likely just duplicates for cosmetic flairs.

I just realized, I should probably pick up every Alt art Weezing I can get from Wonderpick, I forget her name but Koga's daughter as a support might break Muk and Weezing.

>>56938087

red card is good because it lets you gain draw advantage. using red card causes you to go -1 so you need your opponent to also go -1 or preferably at least -2. use it when your opponent has 4 cards in hand to go even or 5+ cards in hand to gain advantage. also usable with hand scope if you're trying to get rid of an opponent's god hand.

I was looking at old sets yesterday, and it's so funny that in Unseen Forces EX (A set from Gen 3 era, leaning heavily on Gen 2 stuff) the JP set had them sprinkled in the set as Commons and Uncommons.
The worldwide release made them all secret cards outside the set numbering as A/28 etc., and they were all holo rares (At least)
Sounds like absolute hell to collect all of them.
>>
>>56937826
For having Mewtwo Ex in first turn:
Deck 1: Approximately 82.4% chance of having a Mewtwo Ex on first turn
Deck 2: Approximately 85.1% chance of having a Mewtwo Ex on first turn

And for having both Mewtwo and Ralts in first turn:
Deck 1: Approximately 67.2% chance of having both Mewtwo Ex and Ralts
Deck 2: Approximately 69.8% chance of having both Mewtwo Ex and Ralts

I ran it through Claude and checked the code it used w my general knowledge of combinatorics. It looks correct, but if someone sees an issue, please let me know.

You're looking at around a 3% decrease in both starting w Mewtwo Ex and starting with Ralts + Mewtwo.

This was about what I expected, maybe thinking closer to 4-5%.

This means over a 100 matches you'll likely lose 3 more of them. If a 10 round tournament best of 3 happens, with every match going to 3rd game in the 10 rounds, we are looking at about one more loss.

Maybe playing a regular Mewtwo isn't THAT bad having done the math w Claude, but now we have to consider how many wins we gain against Pika in a tournament setting with the last known metagame. I'm assuming this is actually somewhat close.

Like I said before, I learn something new about this game everyday, and it's not as bad to play regular Mewtwo than I thought. Still, I'm unsure of the overall EV being higher by playing 5th basic. Stuff like Meowth and Jinx seem fucking terrible though bc there's almost no way they'll improve your win rate more against the field than a regular Mewtwo would with so much Pika around.

No, because it is possible that the card doesn't move from it's initial spot, so the logic of the Monty Hall problem doesn't apply.

Not him, but the biggest weakness of Mewtwo decks is Sabrina to disrupt their Mewtwo-Gardevoir battery. A fossil will nullify a Sabrina to keep Gardevoir/Ralts safe.

>>56938357
Fossils are good sir. I'm running just 1 right now, but I certainly miss it in many games. Potion is interesting because it's absolutely game winning in many spots when you draw 2, but often not enough when you draw just one.

As other anon said, Sabrina is very good against Mewtwo, and fossils answer it perfectly. They require no energy and are quite fast. They also made fine meat shilds to soak up a hit and get another energy on Mewtwo before putting him active.
Of course a tournament has a shit load of variance. I'm way more likely to lose than to top 8, but I'll give it a shot. If she keeps running them every weekend, and the player base is anything like the high secret rating that I have for event matches, i feel quite confident i can put up some results. Still gotta figure out my exact list tho
>>
>>56938463
>here's an example of fossil being good
You can come up with an example for why practically any card could be good, but I just don't think fossil is better than any other card you could put in its place. All of the recent Mewtwo tournament wins are decks that run regular Mewtwo, Jynx, no 5th basic. There is only one "recent" fossil tournament win, making it as common to win a tournament as Kangaskhan or Meowth.

Even in the high secret rating games, I am getting less, but still enough thanks. I literally always give thanks no matter what unless my opponent disconnects and times out instead of conceding.

Is it the typing? Fire or not there's not many cards that can survive starmie's 2-turn 180 damage, to give a popular example.

I think Immersives are, they're kinda common (it's harder to get a specific 2* than it is to get an immersive)
>>
Nice

Who are they going to pick as the 3 flagships for the jhoto set?
Ho-oh, Lugia and Suicune like the videogames?
What are the most popular second gen pokemons anyway? Azumarill, Scizor and Tyranitar?
>>
>>56938546
I'm only talking about my experience fighting them, since I don't use Mewtwo. There were a lot of scenarios where I would have lost if they had a fossil to stop my Sabrina plays, so I actually prefer if they don't run fossils.

Look man, you're way too caught up in tournament results. Firstly, people are overall not good at this game. This is why Mewtwo is still not the most played deck even though it's objectively the best deck in the game at the moment. It is much less forgiving than Pika and harder to navigate. Furthermore, suboptimal lists win all the fucking time in MTG where I played at the professional level (GPs and PTs) for a long time. You can't divorce yourself from theory and look at tournament results exclusively because tournaments have a shit load of variance and there aren't ever enough of them before the format changes. I've explained this so many times, but "muh tournament results" keeps creeping up as an argument. I hope I run good and smash a tournament just to end this poor argument fuqqqq.

Magcargo is the only good 2 Pokemon honestly.

Oh sick, free pack

I will tank my MMR so hard that I get literal CHILDREN when I play the win 5 in a row event.

I tried to explain this to some retard who was trying to say that Dragonite, Charizard, and Mewtwo are all equally good, when they very obviously aren't.

Charizard is better than Dragonite, but it has the same problem that Dragonite has, and it's that it *absolutely requires* hitting a threevo in order to win. Dragonite requires hitting a threevo, not getting energy screwed, and then not getting Draco Meteor screwed. Charizard requires hitting a threevo, ideally having at least one good Moltres roll.

Mewtwo just works. Mewtwo is a basic. You don't absolutely require Gardevoir. If you ever put 4 energy on a Mewtwo, you probably just win the game even without Gardevoir, but Gardevoir wins you any board state that is more "equal". The threevo in Mewtwo is an insurance policy, not the wincon.

I've finished the other 2, I think I still need Meowth and Lapras for this one
>>
>>56938554
Part of it is that 2 Mewtwos will often just win the game on their own, unlike 2 Moltres. Thats pretty much what separates them in my opinion looking at the theory.

Win five in a row event? What's this?
>>
>>56938572
for the next pvp event badge after the current win 45 one
>>
>>56938570
I just realized it's a secret mission, so I guess this is just another thing I have to Google
>>
I legitimately win 5 in a row every day I play 10+ matches.
t. Mewtwo FossilGOD

>>56938560
I doubt they pick the starters when they can pick lugia (guaranteed) ho-oh (likely) and one of the dogs
scizor, tyranitar, umbreon and quagsire would be my assumptions for any fringe pick

>This is why Mewtwo is still not the most played deck even though it's objectively the best deck in the game at the moment. It is much less forgiving than Pika and harder to navigate.
I also disagree with this. I think Pika has more possible lines of play and thus is more difficult to navigate. Pika also has more possible decks. Mewtwo is pretty straight forward comparatively, and there isn't really any deck variance at all. I do think Mewtwo is better though.

>too caught up in tournament results
No, I'm speaking from experience. It's just that my personal anecdotal experience and what "feels good" to me tends more to agree with the sort of decks that are winning tournaments.

>>56938576
There's a few of these. The birds, all the 1 stars for each album, the entire album for mew, not sure if all the 2 stars give some bonuses, im not that big of a whale l0l
>>
>>56938567
Ill play 2 articuno ex and 18 trainers. it is statistically possible to get 3 heads 5 times in a row. I am guaranteed to get the emblems
>>
>>56938554
Charizard is too slow against Pikachu decks, Moltres has a hard time tanking electric attacks. In return, it has a great match up against Mewtwo.
>>
>>56938554
No.
Mewtwo's wincon is an extremely beefy Basic (which has a high chance to be in your starting hand and can be searched with pokeball) that can still win even if you don't see the stage 2 support (gardevoir).
In charizard, the beefy basic is the support, and you lose if you don't see both charmeleon and charizard, which don't have a higher chance to appear in hand, nor have a "ball" iem to be searched for.
The game favors basic pokemons over evolution extremely. This is why pikachu and mewtwo are so strong compared to anything else, with articuno following suit but having much weaker attacks and relying on coinflips with misty.

>Just wonder picked Omastar (based top right as always)
>But forgot I didn't have Omanyte
Hurr durr
>>
>>56938560
>>56938582
Lugia, Ty and Suicine would be my guess
Gen 2 is kinda cringe..

Now Gen 3.. .HOW do you pick the Mascots? Too many kino mons.
>>
>>56938584
Now that I'm looking at these secret missions, I REALLY hope that you'll be able to trade every single rarity of card to retroactively complete these missions, because it would otherwise be genuinely impossible to complete these missions without being a massive whale.

>Those full art 8 trainers
