if they added a playmat, coin, and card shield of your waifu trainer, would you spend money on it
>>56937065venubros........
>>56937067In a heartbeatI already bought Erika for no reason
>>56937067>Lance Playmat, coin, sleeve, and all the other shitYou bet your ass i will!or Red/Blue
>>56937067Nah. None of the full arts are good. People talking about rolling and even spending money just for the safe full art Sabria or Misty when countless far better art is free elsewhere are golems
>>56937065HIS site? BASEDFLAME ON
>>56937067>Playmat, coin, card of the waifuProbably happening in two sets, and I had fun playing her side of the dueling set when it was in standard, so...Why don't I have any normal Courtney art hanging around.
>>56937080>when countless far better art is free elsewhereHoly shit this so muchI 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
>>56937088Would you whale for these cards, bro?
>flip coin perfectly so that it lands on heads>create macro using that exact coinflip>use it>it flips heads>nice, I beat the system>use it again>it doesn't flip the coin>use it again>it still doesn't flip the coin>whatever>try it next flip>it flips tails
>>569370651 jinx instead of an x speed is goated in mewtwo
>check Wonder Pick>no ex or full art except for a PinsirI hate this so much
>pummeling mewtwo deck with magneton>2 prizes obtained>a bilion energies on it>dude swaps mewtwo in>evolve benched pikachu and lt surge while pretending to miss a giovanni>mewtwo at 10 life>no energies on my side>only magneton on bench>dude plays a trillion trainer cards and hits raichu for 50>play pikachu from hand, xspeed and put one energy on it>wait until he concedes with pikachu staring down mewtwoFuck mewtwo players
>>56937091Yeah. I personally do like some of the Pokemon alt arts like the Chansey event one or upcoming Venusaur alt or Machamp/Alakazam full arts but for trainers they ALL suck ass and are generic as hell
>>56937065Love how Arcanine Ex went from the worst Ex card to a reliable Pikachu killer.
>>56937088>>56937092Wrong waifu of that image, but if I get back to playing the irl tcg, I'll probably pick up a playset if that deck's still doing good.
>>56937083THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE WINNERAND YOU'RE LOOKING AT HIMLET'S GO
>>56937067>if they added a playmat, coin, and card shield of your waifu trainer, would you spend money on itI want to say no, but the answer is maybe. This game seems like it's going to suck to play when they start adding cards, and if that happens, I'm out anyway.
>>56937065>Articuno EX and Starmie EX decks are absolute bottom tierlollmaoMaybe don't rest your entire strategy on whether or not you win multiple coinflips.
Weezer chad thread. Weezer chad general.
>>56937065Blaine does way too much damage. If you don't have a legendary bird ex out you die in a single flamethrower by turn 2.I think mewtwo and Pikachu are only doing so well because mewtwo and zapdos can take a hit well.
>>56937127>braps in your general direction
>>56937067I would. But they won't.
>>56937112>Love how Arcanine Ex went from the worst Ex card to a reliable Pikachu killer>The game has been out for months. The meta is ALREADY DETERMINED BLAH BLAH BLAH FAGGOTY FAGGOTI bet there's other decks waiting to be discovered
>winning a game I literally had lost, because the opponent made an awful misplaywhat a weird feel
>>56937112>>56937144Raichu went from a dummy shit card into beast big dick damage of a card for PikaEx
>>56937135I think you're correct.Mewtwo EX having 150hp is a big deal because it tanks MOST attacks at least once while also having an attack that most other pokemon can't tank.
Went up against a bizarre deck.>Pidgey>Arbok>Muk>Mewtwo exStill more soulful than my Mewtwo ex/Hypno/Gardevoir slop, sadly
Can Raichu evolve from Pikachu EX or can it only evolve from Pikachu?
Can you put multiple cards in your deck with different languages?Am I able to troll people by using a raremon like melmetal but have japanese text in my mostly english deck?
>opponent has his mon at 10 hp>my dumb ass with zapdos ex used the bigger move>4 tails>opponent finishes it off for gameI hate myself for that.
>>56937158Pikachu only>>56937165You can but in battle i think it just shows your clients language regardless of where the card is from
>>56937057>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.We know about the next PvP event (2, 3, 4, 5 streaks)Black Friday event is extra gold for paypigsNext Wonder Pick and Fire-Type events are fully dataminedMini set and next set are beyond the 1 month window we have
>>56937171>Black Friday event is extra gold for paypigsI was really hoping the monthly subscription would go on sale because if you're opening packs daily for a month, it's alot more efficient than gold. That's a shame
>>56937127>>56937137ZAMN! weezing looks like THAT?!
>>56937171>beyond 1 monthwhattheFUCKdowedo in the meantimeoh my*pulls hair out*GOD
how often do (You) check for new wonder picks?
Do i just spend this on hourglasses or do i save them? I also noticed i stopped collecting them from likes
>>56937067>>56937204The employees are here
>>56937206>Do i just spend this on hourglasses or do i save them?Save them. new event next week and stuff going down next month.
>>56937056Do you earn your likes everyday through hard effort; or do you beg for people to like your pathetic showcase for likes?
>>56937194Pvp event you dumb fuck.
>>56937250You can only get a max of 5 (five) shop tickets a day so 5 likes, adding whateverthanks you get during battle, is all that matters. Some of you ittreally don't like thinking longer than a few seconds huh
>like opponent after battle even though I lost to some clown coin shit>no like in returnt-thanks...
>>56937157>playing with the cards fate gifts you>incrementally improving your deck with each free packthat's the soulful way to play
>>56937186>>56937171What's the best deals? I have some Christmas money I might throw at this game.
>>56937187Imagine getting a handie from the sock puppet
>>56937261We know nothing about the deals, apparently there's a 30+30 gold bundle for 5 dollars, some people are saying there's a 30% off on certain bundles
>>56937250Both because I'm better than you.
It's finally over, thanks for the deck recommendations yesterday anon
>>56937290THat shit was annoying, but funI love that solo shit, can't wait for next main sets of solos (and rewards)
>>56937065>tier 1>POWER GAP>tier 3kek
>>56937255nta but the events are really mediocre, barely worth coming back for
When stage 1s get more consistent, starmie ex is going to run a train on this game. In the games where I manage to get both on the field, it feels like I’m running a better pika deck by a large margin.
>>56937250>log in>open packs>check wonder picks>collect showcase likes>log outEZ game battlekeks
>>56937296Until basic legendary ex mons start getting 200 hp bro
It took a while to build up the Butts, but damn did it feel free.
Does anyone ever use vpnx? I never get a match.
>>56937332probably gotta tell the lads that you're queuing brah
>>56937292It 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.
I'm queueing brah
>>56937292>>56937290I hope they keep doing stuff like this for future permanent content too. Having to get creative with decks to clear some of the side objectives is fun
>>56937332>>56937347I'm up for some battles.Reply to this post if you're up for some vpnx battles
>>56937372Alright I'm about to queue
Why the fuck do these faggots thank me constantly? I didn't let you win faggot, you only won because of a coinlflip, fucking piece of shit.
>>56937409*thanks you again*
>>56937067sex with sabrina
>>56937409thanks ;^)
>>56937343This. Earlier I was doing one and had Zappos out. Used Thundering Hurricane 4 times and out of 16 flips I got heads twice. Incredible.
>>56937409Sent thanks and a friend request!
>nothing but dogshit in my wonderpicks >have to spend stamina or it will cap
>>56937397don't see anything
>>56937453I've had a similar experience.>Having to waste 2 stam on a fucking 3 diamond wonder pick because there's no EX or full art cards in your picks other than ones you already have playsets ofIt feels so fucking bad wasting an entire day of stamina on MAYBE getting a 3 diamond card that you could have just pulled from a pack.
>>56937409>thankssent>friend requestsent>like for your showcasesent
>>56937466>>56937453it caps at 8... relax lads..
>>56937425Zapper never lets me down desu
>>56937474No it fucking doesn't, it caps at 5, please play the game before you talk
>>56937481When I used him with my Pikachu deck for the elite battles I don't think I ever hit higher than 50. Also with the Misty card most I pulled was one energy. Meanwhile the AI would pull three on their first turn.
>>56937474those extra three spaces are a manual refill overfill zone, they won't recharge on their own
>>56937065>marowak/sandslash that highbased
I want to save hourglass but at the same time I want to complete this Dex... im just gonna spend the hourglasses
>>56937522what will you do when you run out
Y'all should vote another gameBecause DeNA ain't giving us shit if we win anyway lol
>>56937535i dunno. maybe start a new account each time there's a new deck or someshit
>>56937538I wouldn't vote because this game is dogshit but I can't vouch for any of the other games either, I've heard good things about ZZZ but haven't personally played it to trust the judgment of others
wew
>>56937538I hope wuthering waves winsbut it'll probably be this because it has pokemon in the name
>tfw never meta in any game I play>went mewtwo cards only not knowing a thing about this game>look up what is good because everything I made wasn't>mewtwo ex deck>have almost all of the cards besides 1 sabrina>wonder pick heri feel dirty but man is this strong.
>>56937554Great pick for anyone who needs a paras
the art/memes this game is generating is pretty good
Alright lads I just need the one last Venusaur, where's it gonna land?
>>56937578bottom left. my 7 says so
>>56937578Bottom Right Chads always win
>Enemy gets Marowak ex online>Two tails>Instant concedeBrother come on, I did not have a huge lead on you. I leveled up, so thanks for the free pack, but still. >Wigglytuff ex out of the pack>Two packs in a row, tooOkay then, I'm making a Wigglytuff deck now.
>>56937578Always bottom left
>>56937597Why's wiggly get a Full Art tho???
>>56937578Center of course
>>56937602Because Wigglytuff touches you at night.
oink oink OIIINKKK
>>56937607I understand a bit... but 12k cards on a set that has 250~ cards is INSANEEEEEEE
>>56937580>>56937601Finally I am released from this torture of opening Mewtwo packsThank you sweet bros
I'm done with the game for today. Next five responses determine the languages I play in for in each of the rest of the days of the week.
>>56937615Forgot venuproof
>>56937625English
>>56937625english
>>56937626Basudo.
How the fuck do i do 1,500 damage in the expert solos?
>>56937568
>>56937607I do not understand why someone would even do this.Like, at that stage you HAVE to have playsets of everything already, alt arts and rarities included, so why did bro keep whaling even after his collection was complete?
>>56937647its over a set amount of games (same with 12 points)
>>56937647you don't have to do 1500 at once, just a total of it through different matches. damage max is 990 anyway
>>56937647You get Lickitung to flip like a god.
>>56937654maybe he's collecting all the cards in another language

>>56937067My waifu isn't from pokemon.That said, I would get a Misty or Korrina set if they happen.>>56937171We also know the next premium shop is Pika themed.
>>56937602wiggly has 3 full arts
I've wonder pulled for the damn full art Porygon like six times now. It's the only one star full art I didn't get back when I was pulling Mewtwo packs.
sabrina...
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 ex6 ralts1 Fossil2 PokeBall2 professor2 x speed2 Sabrina2 potion1 Red cardI'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.
>>56937696You're going to be living like a fucking king when Porygon-2 comes out with the ability to pick 2 cards every fucking turn on the bench
If you went second you didn't beat the game.
>>56937653Flairs.
>>56937712kanga lead versus the wheezing deck is pretty good
this dude dropped a porygon. intrigued me enough to not win and watch his deck cook
>Another Charizard EX>Totaling fourPlease god let me trade these. I just need Moltres EX
>>56937290No problem!
>Crown Rares are the highest rarity>They look like absolute shitWhy did they do this?The Immersive Rares are peak, but the Crown Rares look like fucking ass, literally worse than their Full Art versions.
>>56937740when they add more shuffle effects it might not be completely useless? currently there's only pokeball and the tutor mons like caterpie
>>56937739This makes sense, but I just can't justify putting in a 5th basic. It absolutely rapes your percentage of nut draws
>>56937740so what'd he use?
>>56937767Mewtwo. He was just bad.
top right never fails
>>56937780what would he even need to scry the deck literally does one thing lmao
>>56937782I've yet to get a hit on top right...Its almost usually top left or bottom right aaaa
>>56937794you're not believing hard enough. gotta choose top right every single time for it to give you what you need.
>>56937765Have you actually done the math on this?
>tfw threads slowed to a crawlIt was fun while it lasted bros
>>56937846It's fine. It's almost midnight on a Monday in normal time zones, there's nothing to worry about. We'll be back to shitposting when the next events drop.
>>56937852>Normal TimezonesNigmericans are not normal.
>>56937846It'll be fun again but they definitely fell short on content. If you can finish all the solo content and get bored within a week while f2p, why would anybody sign up for premium or buy poké gold?
>>56937846Don't worry, new event soon!
>>56937875some people can only find joy when they're able to collect all the pictures on a gacha game. at the end of the day that's the target demographic for not just the shop but the entire game.
Is this even a real card?I've never pulled one. I've never seen it played. I've never seen it in any wonder picks.
>>56937846If the GSC/HGSS set releases and makes all of the big decks from both it and Genetic Apex all basically tier 2, with no real tier 1, I could see the playerbase doubling. But only if it's genuinely fun.
Minisetbros.Trust the plan.
>>56937888I'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.
>>56937901I saw shitters use tynamo as a filler basic for pika EX
>>56937888having to flip a coin for the paralysis makes this card so much worse than it needed to be
>>56937065Fuck off DkayedNobody likes you
>>56937908why did they make paralysis so much worse than sleep is my question.
>>56937908Nah, 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.
>>56937908Is 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.
Update to the Missty tails I have encountered.
>>56937926In 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. >>56937888I 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.
>>5693788830 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 headslot of deckbuilding restrictions for an effect basic articuno has, too much work as stage 2 for a support card and really coinflippy as a sweeperstill cool tho, i wanna make him work eventually
>>56937940you need to set your pre-battle quote to this, it guarantees more heads
>>56937942to 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.
>>56937952I think the thing holding back a lot of cards is the amount of basics that outclass stage 2s that would otherwise be alright.
Tried a 1-cost WP with two cards I was missing since my stamina was almost full, and woah, I actually got something.
>>56937974 well don't keep us waiting
>>56937959Those are my opponents tails, I always get heads.
>>56937982It was between Salandit and Dragonair. I got the latter.Helps for both the full collection of unique cards and the Mew collection, so that's nice.
>>56937974the only cards I have left to collect are all 3 diamond and up, I hope I can get a god pack soon
>>56937999Are you f2p?
>2-2 score>my only way out to winning against a charged Mew2 EX was getting 3 heads with Zapdos EX>4 heads>still feel like shit after winning the gameI really hate coinflip cards
>>56937999I'm down to 32 missing diamonds, and at least 2 of them are 1 diamonds.
>>56937888Tynamo is too small. If you draw it as your only basic, you can lose the game as soon as turn 2. Being a three stage evo just makes it worse.
>>56938002Yeah...? Aren't all F2P close to Mew..?
>>56937067I already did with Erika
>>56937112Mewtwo EX is already the Pikachu killer, if you know how to play it. Its only bad matchup is against Zard EX.
>>56938002nah, I've been throwing $20 at it once a week specifically for packs
>>56938020>play rrat>get mewtwokeks conceding left and rightSure
>>56938031Sounds like you're playing against bad players at your level. The matchmaking is working then.
haymaker deck has been making good progress knocking out higher cost mons before they can set up energies or evos.
A Rapidash EX or Ninetales EX will make the Blaine deck real scary.
>>56938020I love destroying mewtwofags as a dark chad. pikachuds aren't safe either
>100%'d Lapras event>100%'d Beginner through Expert Solo missions >got both 45 and 50 wins for the Genetic Apex PvP eventWhat else is left to do? Just pull (daily, as I'm a non-whale)? Also for anons with shit luck at building decks and are struggling with the PvP event, I'm 80% sure battles with friends count towards the win total, so you guys can just win trade with each other. I could be wrong though.
>>56938054private battles don't earn you any rewards
>>56938015Define close
>>56938003this is not the game for you my dude
>pulling on the mewtwo packs because I want Gardevior to play around with making psychic decks with Gengar/Alakazam/ect.>get the mewtwo busting out of the windows card TWICEMan I don't really like playing the mewtwo deck and I don't even have Gardevior to make it broken, what am I gonna do with these? I guess try to pull a third and exchange it for premium currency? Wait for trading?
only need 2 more before I can get one of these. thinking about getting the sleeves first
>>56938074DId you get the display board yet? That's the coolest. Then the coin.Sleeve is cool I guess... But i have Gard heh
>>56938074How do you get the currency for these?
please tell me how/when to use red card effictivelydo I just send it whenever they have 4+ cards in their hand so they 'lose' one? usually if they use poke ball or oak to draw shit they are going to play it that turn if they can
>>56938074i'm gunning for the coin personally. 1 more gold charizard card and I cash in 45 special shop tickets.
>>56938086trade in extra full art cards plus like 500 flair dust>>56938084>>56938088i would get the coin, but i don't run a coin flip deck
>>56938087I 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.
>>56937607I 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 >5 cards per pack, 12,000 cards = 2,400 packs>we can assume that around 150 packs were free packs from hourglasses and daily pulls leaving approx 2,250 packs>2,250 packs =13,500 Pokegold>Largest Pokegold pack is 690 Pokegold for 100USD>13,500/690 = 19.5, so 20 purchases of this pack>20x100 = 2000USDSo 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.
>>56938087red 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.
>no new content
>>56938100this may sound crazy but you can just open the game once every 12 hours until there's new stuff to do.
>>56938097I assume janine will be in the big expansion at the end of january, not the upcoming miniset
>>56938089Display board is kino though... Different from the single card ones
>>56938065There are decks without coinflip effects like Mewtwo. It's the most honest one we have.
>>56938110Wow that legitimately is kino.I hope I can get enough duplicate full arts to get these cosmetics, they're really cool.>tfw have 6 FA PorygonsGonna be harvesting soon...
>>56938110Where's the Moltres?
>>56938086By grinding up Full Art cards.You can also get one for 300 tranny tickets but it's a total waste so don't ever do that.
>>56938087when you can tell your op has an evo in hand is a good time to use it
>>56938095why anyone this interested in the TCG would do this over buying real cards is beyond my comprehension.
>>56938119People who do shit like this are not the type of people who would be interested in going to a local gaming store.They're mostly people with a decent income but little to no family or friends, who prefer to do everything digitally so they don't have to leave the house outside of for work.
>>56937938They're both bad. Pika oneshots all the 100-110 HP pokemon that are meant to be able to soak a hit, and Zapdos puts everything else into oneshot range.
>>56938128Disappointing but I guess I shouldn't be all too surprised.
>told myself I'd do 1 pull (as a treat) with my last 3 hourglasses and 3 gold bricks for beating 50 pvp matches with my boy Charizard>mfw I got a second crownI fucking love Kanto so much right now you don't even know.
the current health pools do not support 90 damage for 2 energy
>>56938089>>56938117So it's paypiggy only then. I see.
Why do people play Dragonite
Probably my longest match yetI intentionally let his stall mon stay alive while chipping at the bench with Greninjas. He had two full charge Dragonites at the end.
>>56938141Because when you manage to pull it off it's really funny watching your opponent's backline evaporate with each and every Dracometeor you throw at them.
>>56938141They're hearthstone players
>>56938141
>>56938141Dragonite is KINO.Dragonite ex will take over the meta with the miniset thoughtrust the plan
What's the fucking brown present in the complimentary item set?
>>56938163it's a representation of the fact that it's a gift.
>>56938109Actually, I could see Janine in the "Kanto miniset" which it seems this is.Presumably we get to see the E4 too. But if they were to do that for Gen 2 too, well, 3 out of the 5 E4 members are repeats. That's an argument to keep Janine for later, and maybe Rival too.Or they'll just not care and make alt arts for the repeats.
>>56938097if she accelerates energy to dark pokemon like in the nonpocket tcg she will pretty good
Every meta deck has energy acceleration except Pikachu EX. It is the most honest deck, if you think about it.
>>56938172It's our time... Darkbros..
>That second abilitywhat the fuck
>>56938195rich get richer
>>56938195It's not legal in the actual tournaments.
>>56938195It sucks. You need to be in a dominant position for it to do anything.This reminds me, I wonder if we'll get the old school kind of Unowns for every letter, or if it's just one consolidated one.
>>56938202there'll probably be 1 or 2 unowns per pack
>>56938195Alternate win cons are great.
>>56938202>>56938207You need to collect all the Unowns to recieve your immersive Celebi
>>56938202im looking through all the unown cards and they all have sick art I hope we get a ton of individual ones
>>56938210On one hand, that's the worst fucking idea.But on the other hand, I really want there to be 30 shitty Unown you need to collect for a reward.Probably not Celebi since it's probably the completion bonus.Maybe you'll get a playmat that's designed around Ruins of Alph.
Yea I fuck my gardevoir what of it
>>56938215Male gardevoir btw. No homo.
>>56938215There he is, get him
Just fragrance trap bullied a Mewtwo player, amaI'm on such a high right now, I randomly slotted in a single victrebell line in my Venusaur deck and the first game I played I got to use it flawlessly
I still don't have a Gardevoir...
Bros thats broken.. wtf?
>>56937067Need hex girl sleeves and mat
>>56938226for a stage 2 its not.
>>56938226Keep in mind that in the actual TCG, energies aren't a free resource. You need to keep getting energy for this shit every turn.
>>56938240Yeah they work kinda like lands in MTG so you need to draw them from your deck to put them on your pokemon.This would be much more busted in the Pocket version.
>>56938119They very likely have more than enough money to do both.
>>56937826No, but let's see if I can rq. I just know it's significant from playing so many storm decks in MTG.
>Current pass missions ending in less than 2 weeksIf you activate your free trial before it ends, you can get two passes worth of mission rewards.
>>56938291I don't like Mewtwo though.
>>56938291whats the next pass theme
>>56938297Nothing forces you to spend them on Mewtwo even if you do complete the missions.
>>56938297You don't have to spend your premium tickets on the Mewtwo playmats. Just save it.
>>56938302Pikachu.
>>56937607>tfw 2000 cards
>>56938302this one is pika card / mewtwo themenext one is mewtwo card / pika theme
>>56938304>>56938310How could I be so stupid. I guess I thought the currency just goes to that shop and expires or something.
Does ditto need to use the right type of energy to use another Pokémon’s moves
>>56938291>I activated it earlyI'm bricked...
>>56938320yes
>>56938210>mfw all the Unowns are holo rares
>>56938330I 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.
>>56937826For having Mewtwo Ex in first turn:Deck 1: Approximately 82.4% chance of having a Mewtwo Ex on first turnDeck 2: Approximately 85.1% chance of having a Mewtwo Ex on first turnAnd for having both Mewtwo and Ralts in first turn:Deck 1: Approximately 67.2% chance of having both Mewtwo Ex and RaltsDeck 2: Approximately 69.8% chance of having both Mewtwo Ex and RaltsI 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.
>>56938326Holy BASED Ditto
Anyone got the pic with the fire event details?
>>56938176The top Pika ex variant runs the Magneton Surge Raichu package.
>>56937712I think it's funny that you're still on this fossil kick. I will gladly eat my words if you win though. I'll even give you a kneeling Vegeta, because I think putting fossils in the Mewtwo deck is fucking retarded.
>>56938335Well good on you for actually running the numbers. One other thing you might have missed is the odds of needing + pulling an Xspeed?
>>56938356>bestMagnetonSurge is rare in the Raichu variant. Just check the latest tourneys in the OP.
>>56937056>all of those gen 3 and 4 mons that won't be added for 6 more months
Can the Monty Hall problem be applied to Wonder Pick? Does it ever make more sense to pick the same spot that the card was before the randomization?
>>56938413nounless you see how they code it you have no idea and it's just vaguely random
>>56938413How would it even apply? Unless they add a feature for a second pick (oh God)
>>56938413No, you have no information before picking a card. This is also the point where the game contacts the server to determine what card it is.
>>56937171+ an **announcement** for a Mission Event (Magikarp/Gyarados)And the premium promo card will be in premium missions instead of the shop, to BTFO eventual free trial hoarders who otherwise could have bought the promo for 2.5 years>>56937261>>56937275>30 gives you 30 free>75 gives you 39 free>250 gives you 110 free>one-time onlysource: sanktanglia on d*scord (pocket.codex.gg guy)I don't know if the extra gold is paid gold or free gold
>>56938431considering it actually does have a section on it telling you how many picks you have, its not out of the question
>>56938141Fan favoriteExtremely honestSOVL
>>56938413No, 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.The Monty Hall problem requires you to KNOW that at least one of your options is definitely wrong since this is the basis of the logic at play.
no one is saying thanks anymore
>>56938448what deck are you using
>>56938448i just do the phone version of alt+f4 after battles whether i win or losegame too boring to do anything but bare minimum
Is a colorless deck viable? Theorycrafting atm.It would have wiggly, snorlax, kangaskhan and aerodactyl
>>56938456throw in ditto for teh lulz and make every color of energy available
>>56938357Not 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.Two Sabrinas in this game saved me, despite my bricked hand, since I don't have enough damage to kill two Mewtwo EX.
>>56938438>>>30 gives you 30 free>>75 gives you 39 free>>250 gives you 110 freeThat's my miniset right there boys
>>56938449I'm rotating them in hopes that it affects the thanks but I'm still getting none>>56938453to be fair there's no reason why it shouldn't be automatic, choosing not to send the opponent a potential reward is just a dumb feature
>>56938444It's definitely something they might do (Could be event only though), but it also means you really need to save hourglasses.Imagine they let you do all 5, but you have a 4 Cost. You fucking better be able to afford that 20 Stamina total if you're going for it.
I have a Lilligant Butterfree deck I love, but I think it needs an EX. Should I go with Saur or Egg? I CANNOT remove Lilligant.
>>56938480egg is better, one of the few mons where going first isnt total dogshit
>>56938480Venasaur is too slow for a deck without energy cheats. Exeggutor/Butterfree/Erika/Potion is perfect for tanking
>>56938480>I CANNOT remove LilligantBased plantfucker
>>56938444Checked. It is a good way to make money, even if people know the trick they're still spending at least twice as many points on the same pick
>>56938491I mean, Lilli is an energy cheater.>>56938485So Egg, Lilli, and Butterfree? Or do I just ditch the bug?
>have type advantage>roll one Heads>proceed to RQ like a bitchAre you serious?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I also got the ultra rare giovanni in a 10 pack open just a second ago
>>56938357Fossils 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 goodYou 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.
>>56938448Even 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.
finally got my second pika ex. now time to play on easy mode
Asking this seriously, are crown cards meant to be fodder for that premium currency?
I don't quite get how mew(2) is a top tier deck while 'zard is just rogue. Even if 'tres charge is rng, so is pulling the entire 'voir line in proper fashionIs 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.
>>56938552I 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?
>>56938546I'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.
>>56938546Look 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.
>>56938560Magcargo is the only good 2 Pokemon honestly.
>>56938559Oh 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.
>>56938554I 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.
>>56938566I've finished the other 2, I think I still need Meowth and Lapras for this one
>>56938554Part 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.
>>56938567Win five in a row event? What's this?
>>56938572for the next pvp event badge after the current win 45 one
>>56938570I 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
>>56938560I doubt they pick the starters when they can pick lugia (guaranteed) ho-oh (likely) and one of the dogsscizor, tyranitar, umbreon and quagsire would be my assumptions for any fringe pick
>>56938563>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 resultsNo, 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.
>>56938576There'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
>>56938567Ill 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
>>56938554Charizard is too slow against Pikachu decks, Moltres has a hard time tanking electric attacks. In return, it has a great match up against Mewtwo.
>>56938554No.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 OmanyteHurr durr
>>56938560>>56938582Lugia, Ty and Suicine would be my guessGen 2 is kinda cringe.. Now Gen 3.. .HOW do you pick the Mascots? Too many kino mons.
>>56938584Now 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.
>>56938596>Those full art 8 trainersyup nope i aint never getting that kEK
