EX sucks. I understand people not wanting to use them but for me the fun is seeing EX cry when I beat them with my off-meta brew.
>>
>>56966009
People have wanted no-EX format in the physical game for over a decade now. This isn't exactly a new trend.

The old Online client used to have a ladder where you could only use structure decks that was really popular for the same reason. It's a totally different game when you don't have pushed EX cards one-shotting everything by turn 2.

>see the best combinations of double-elements?
I don't think that's a thing in any card game, but good rule of thumb is try not to build around cards with more than 2 specific color requirements as it's very unlikely you get the right requirements to power it on time. 2 pips is a stretch, but doable in slower decks as long as it's the only one that requires 2
For example the main fat boy only has one fire requirement, and only needs two to cast in a row, and at 4 energy in likely(!) to get at least one fire. The corals I don't care as much to power up, and misty helps get the 2 water I need if I get lucky and do want to attack with him

Glad it’s over because my final win was a total disgrace.
I am just a little ahead and the faggot starts timer stalling each turn to the last second and using every card they can.

Ideally you want the kill but sometimes if you don't stall you die. Sabrina is very versatile.

>>56966110
But do we have types that synergize better than the other? For example, I think in Magic, RED (aggro), doesn't synergize well with control (BLUE, WHITE, BLACK).
>>
>>56966057
>anywhere I can see the best combinations of double-elements
Personally, I think that if AI were trained on millions of Pokemon TCG Pocket matches against itself, then if the true meta deck isn't Pikachu or Mewtwo, I think it would be Fighting and/or Dark.

Fighting his so many things for weakness it's crazy. Dark hits some really big threats for weakness.
>>
I've had some fun with Weezing koga venuex which also runs dark energy. since venu line uses half colorless, it usually doesn't screw me over. It's held back by the 20 card limit though, just no room for everything I need. I've also considered putting a kanga in but I don't have one.
>>
>>56966157
Ghost types have been consistently psychic energy, it’s poison types that have multiple personality disorder
>>
>>56966187
When Misty works it's broken, when it doesn't work you still have one of the best decks in the game.
>>
>>56966170
Which deck?

>>56966208
It's overwhelming with Starmie, not only is that one of the fastest cards in the game, Misty just puts salt on the wound with making it even faster.

I'm starting to think 10 pack pulls are a scam. Not only are you NOT guaranteed at least one 4diamond/1star when doing a 10 pull, almost EVERY screenshot I see of someone pulling a god pack is from a single pack. I think I'd rather pull 10 singles and get nothing then get the dopamine of buying 10 and getting nothing.

There's no way Misty has a 50/50 to land heads

It's just a thing carried over from ptcg. Dragons used to be colorless and needing 2 different elements for their attacks.

Why don't you battle her. She prefers playing in the tournaments but she's stuck hosting this one because no one else will host and judge.

That's just not true, theres been red combinations with every color you just mentioned in dual and tri color decks that have seen play at some point
Focus more on pairing good pokemon with each other that synergize well, weezing goes in a million decks because he stalls and deals good chip dmg for a heavy hitter to clean up

Depends on how non-meta you want to get. Koga and Blaine are both viable with some great matchups against Mewtwo and Pikachu

I wish Bug and Rock got to have more distinct identities in the TCG. Ice and Fairy get to have Metal weakness to set them apart from Water and Psychic, and Flying has always gotten to have its own niche within Colorless. Ghost I could see needing some distinction too, now that resistance isn't here to make them any different than Psychic. The direction they've gone with the homogenized weaknesses is kind of lame, since it's another thing that could be leveraged for balance

>4th booster
4th and 5th. Unless it's been datamined, I'm 99.9% certain it's gonna be a 2 pack "mini" set. This game is far too jewish to give us a single pack set.

Pokemon in general has way too many pairs of box legendaries that would fit perfectly for 2 pack sets for them to pass up.

ALWAYS ROUND UP

It's difficult because one could win via concession at any time, or by reaching three points. For sake of estimation lets say that all our wins come from concession at zero points, one point, two points, or by reaching three points, in something like a 10/40/40/10 split:

Step 1: MULTIPLY the number of wins by 1.5; this gives us the number of points dedicated to wins.

Step 2: SUBTRACT the number of points dedicated to wins from the points total; this gives us our points dedicated to losses.

Again this is difficult, but less so, because losing naturally at one point is the same as conceding at one point, and you will never lose at three points. Lets assume that the loss split is 20% zero points, 40% one point, and 40% two points, due to the frequency of EX usage on both sides.

Step 3: MULTIPLY the number of points dedicated to losses by 0.6; this gives us an estimated number of losses.

Step 4: ADD the number of wins to the estimated number of losses; this gives us an estimated total number of games played.

Step 5: DIVIDE the number of wins by the estimated total number of games played. MULTIPLY this number by 100; this gives us our estimated winrate.

I think they deserve being more common. The illustrations for the Pikachu and Mewtwo are kind of ugly. The Charizard illustration is great but even then when actually in play the full arts like that look kind of busy and over detailed. The regular exs unironically look better even with their Planeta-slop CG illustrations. Anyways everyone pulling illustration rares and thinking they found something worth coveting is a nice psychological trick to keep people playing

I believe a bot exists out there programmed to slow play and never attack, and is slowly accumulating wins by stalling until the bored opponent concedes. Such a bot could potentially farm thousands of wins and the only point they would ever receive is from opponents knocking out their own Pokemon with recoil damage (such as from the Mankey promo) or friendly fire (the non-ex Zapdos)

The Pokemon video games you play give you coin flips and dice rolls just the same. You're taking chances every time you use moves with less than 100% accuracy or apply status effects such as sleep. You're just not actively flipping the coin in those games so it registers in your mind differently

>>56967242
This game is just so fucking lame. There is no way to interfere with what your opponent is doing in any way shape or form. Every EX card just retreats for free.
>>
>>56967093
If it's anything like the previous event you will be MMR matched so when you're on 3 - 4 consecutive wins your opponent will be far less likely to concede as they will be wanting to keep their streak too.
>>
We need trap cards
>>
>>56966740
I just tested it, they both give 15 exp per win. Same as the event.
>>
>>56967263
It's just the only way to do that specific effect randomly but it's like saying Pokeball can't exist in tabletop because it randomly picks from the deck.
>>
>>56967265
uhh, duhh, you control minions by controlling their life points, its called life point control you should try it
>>
>>56967181
Dragonite is dragon type so even though it wants water energy Misty cannot target it.
>>
>>56967263
Like tokens?
>>56967275
Correct
>>
>>56967256
I've seen two myself. I pulled Arcanine on the first one without dipping into glass. I didn't pick from the second one.

Got my second Starmie EX and finished water deck. I still need a second Charizard EX, but at this point I have all the three-stars and under from the Charizard pack. So I'm going to focus on the Pikachu packs just to get new shit and hopefully an immersive Pikachu to complete the set. Sad that I don't have any full arts besides the Mewtwo, Charizard and Giovanni out of like 780 cards worth of packs.

>>56967265
>>
>>56967287
I saw how scary last night Gengar ex can be when set up. You can't force him to switch out with Sabrina, you can't hit him harder with Giovanni or Blaine, grass types can't heal with Erika, he can be a win condition just by being put in the active spot

X Speed 1 per deck limit would massively improve the game, it’s a cool card and I’m not going to pretend I haven’t benefited from it but it’s way too much of a get out of jail free card atm

>>56967316
I really think the trainer cards in general should be limited, just from the standpoint that everyone having two of so many of them in their decks is kind of boring considering the deck size is already limited to 20
>>
>>56967320
how is this worse than Moltres though
>>
>>56967265
Its a very early meta
More cards will introduce over time that change the way we can interact and punish things

what round is top cut for the egirl tourney, there's a fucking fossilpilled centiskorch player running zubat for mew2 doing well rn
>>
>>56967333
Misty can power up a mon like Articuno ex or Lapras ex to hit hard as hell on turn one and even win the game turn one if the opponent only has one basic Pokemon in play. Misty can generate energy for a Pokemon to then attack that same turn, Moltres' Inferno Dance ends the turn. While Moltres is capped at generating three energy per turn, Misty could do something absurd like put five energies on a Blastoise ex making him immediately fully powered
>>
>>56967356
why does he have only 1 zubat
>>
>>56967361
2 Poke Ball and he only ever needs 1 Golbat
>>
>>56967356
I've been trying to shill Golbat here. Nice to see a Golbat splash list made it to round 2. Centiskorch is basically just Charizard but it doesn't give the opponent 2 points.
>>
>>56967356
Is centipede better than Arcanine?
>>
>>56967361
To reduce the chance of it being pulled by a Pokeball I'm sure. Why two Golbat then? To increase the odds of getting a Golbat into your hand, since it can't be grabbed by a Pokeball.
>>
if misty isnt fair, marowak and executor ex isnt fair
>>
>>56967320
Everyone besides rage quitters and time wasters get a thanks.
If his deck does the thing, good for him.
>>
>>56967356
Wow unironically pretty big brain.
>>
>>56967385
We're not stating that coin flips are inherently unfair. More that the potential upsides of Misty's coin flips are far greater than any other coin flip cards in the game right now
>>
>>56967356
i think two more rounds and if he wins them he makes it to day 2 and top 32? i see most pple drop at x-2
>>
>>56967356
you can only have 1 loss, he needs to go 9-1

Moltres is so damn busted
>>
>>56967323
Yeah I can get behind that too. I played a singleton tour in the middle of the week and although it was super rng heavy it was pretty fun to see decks and games not play out in the standard, assembly-line way. Again it’s more rng in the games themselves but also forces people to be more considerate and original with deck building. I just go after x speed in particular since it would give players more of an opportunity to play out of bricks if there were 1 per deck. Less early kill snipes from someone who nuts, more potential turn delays if you play a Sabrina to stall, etc. it enhances tilt in your favor and gets you out when your situation becomes a bit uncomfortable but a healthy game would give the opponent more room to play himself back in.
>>
Do moltres fire decks have more problems with pikachu or mewtwo
>>
>>56967372
Everything is better than Arcanine
>>
>>56967426
I'd say Mewtwo, especially centescorch and arcanine builds.
>>
>>56967395
To be honest I think even an ex-professional TCG players couldn't come up with this strategy
>>
>>56967323
limiting trainer cards would just make every deck a pile of cards because pokemon are useless by themselves
>>
Then you get poor assholes like this who whiff both there mistys.

>>56967426
Pikachu but in my experience metwos always seem to eat their balls
>>
>>56967439
Nice job finding my post correctly for once sir.
I think some anon here was playing around with zubat and other colorless attackers, but his deck was a confused mess.
>>
>>56967426
From my experience with and against Moltres ex, the type disadvantage can make the Pikachu matchup suck. Yesterday I went second, attacked Moltres for 20+20 with Voltorb, then on turn four I evolved to Electrode and did a 70+20+10 Giovanni boosted attack utterly wiping out Moltres ex, and my opponent conceded
>>
>>56967443
>Pokemon are useless by themselves
huh?
>>
800 pack hourglasses
>>
>>56967426
Arcanine has more problems with M2, Zard has more problems with Pika. I think there’s real value in just doing a hybrid and playing to whatever your matchup/draws are, a couple people were shilling it
>>
>>56967474

I really just want 2 full art Sabrina before the set rotates. I imagine the chance of that happening is extremely low though

Venu ex is considerably fatter with higher HP and ability to self heal albeit at the cost of being stage 2 and requiring a greater energy commitment

Can't say I can support the meowth, butnthe rest looks good. Sabrina is often enough a time walk against mewtwo that I'd likely play 2

>>56967580
Water with fire was hardest for me, had no ex fire cards at the time. No Blaine either. Tried gambling with Moltres but lost every coin flip. Could get Charizard in play but only good for one attack then not enough energy. Ended up winning with Centiskorch.
>>
>>56967598
getting zapped by 90 damage, plus gio occasionally, after 2 turns gets tiring
>>
>>56967610
So you meant that Exeggutor is the fattest stage 1 tank. Got it
>>
>>56967585
Do you have one at least? I have two FA sabrinas but I'm noticing in my deck I keep cutting out the 2nd sabrina for something else
>>
>>56967616
I concede on those fucks. I give them an opportunity to attack and if they do anything extra that isn't needed to do lethal damage, they lose their chance and have to be happy with my concession
>>
>>56967616
I do it instinctively from maximizing XP gains in Hearthstone.
>>
>>56967568
you gotta be lucky and good to win these tourneys, it’s just how it is when top cut is so small
>>
>>56967628
i wouldn't classify venu as a tank, he's def meant to be a sweeper but he trades some dmg for bulk and self heal
a stage 2 ex as a tank turn 7 after you found all your pieces is not a good idea lmao
>>
>>56967616
Just consneed if you're obviously dead
>>
>>56967077
oh shit i really should just start doing wonderpicks of cards I dont have. i passed on a few that had like 4/5 or 3/5 ones I dont have
>>
>>56967618
I'm hoping to do it with a proper Blaine deck but if I don't pull all the pieces I'll try Centiskorch.
Of the three I've done, grass with fighting was the worst by a mile.
Venusaur EX would require something like 26 heads in a row with all the healing so I had to scoop whenever it became active.
I was one coinflip away from wining off Kangaskhan + Exeggutor EX in like 5 different games.
In the end I won off of Kangaskhan + Exeggcute + Kangaskhan after the bot turbo bricked.
Kangaskhan's fighting weakness carried me through that fight and I am not looking forward to Dugtrio versus the psychic deck.
>>
>>56967585
I only have type specific FA supporters after spending 600 dollars. Don't feel too bad about it.
>>
>>56967655
He pairs very well with Exeggutor ex as a strong early game threat that's not energy hungry so Venu can power up. With self healing, potions, and Erika, he can heal for days
>>
>>56967642
>>56967661
It's just as annoying when they're the ones about to lose. They just have to drag it out that little bit

Arcanine EX is stage 1 instead of stage 2 Zard, so the deck is faster. 120 damage kills Pikachu EX and normal Mewtwo and bunch other basic walls.

I had 2 unlucky losses to Misty coinflips and Zapdos nailing 3 Heads in a single turn, but I got 8-2 with fossil-pilled Mewtwo.
I also bricked hard those matches.
I'll probably get bubbled out, but between this and last week I don't think I have lost a SINGLE Mewtwo mirror match yet, and if I have if was only 1.

Any time i’ve been bmed like that it’s been at the end of a hard lucking. Congrats bro you beat a solo Ralts T2 on a non ranked ladder, make sure to play your red card to flex
>>
>>56967826
Open decklist so it's rather beneficial to run it just to instill fear.
I THINK it helped me once using it as a "they evolved their basic time to hope they have a stage 2 in hand and I carded it away"

I do know that getting redcarded helped me at least twice, at least one being a memeful turn 1 red card.
I had another turn 1 red card and it wasn't helpful or unhelpful really.

I feel like I should maybe use it more often since I will sit on it when they have a number of cards in their hand since I know they are bricked right now, but around mid to late game I should probably red card to remove potential Sabrinas and Giovannis more.
I did end up helping one person out red carding them into an Oak into a double Gardevoir, so that was fun.

The post battle thanks system should be in every other card game, it's great since it actually incentives running interesting and fun nonmeta decks to maximize the chances of getting thanked, personally I never thank anyone playing Pikachu or mewtwo

it’s probably the closest thing you can have to steering your own destiny in this game. a lot of opponent win cons come down to having a single card or a combination of cards, yeah they might get it back but if you can suss out what they’re doing and card then you flip the game on its head

In theory, sure but in reality there are two types of players. Those who automatically thank every battle and faggots with smelly fingers

>>56967883
I don't know how I feel about it's inclusion in the game.
I guess I just hate having to run it, because it hardly ever feels good to use, even when it supposedly works you aren't really sure if it really helped or not just a 'feeling'.

It really doesn't feel good to play, but it does discourage greedy digging, theoretically, and it's the only form of hand disruption we have.
Though maybe hand disruption isn't something we should have.

God I wish this game wasn't 3 prize 20 deck and actually had more variety and shit.

Yeah I feel that, I had 2 tournament games where I carded because my opponents pretty clearly had and needed x and y cards and then they ended up with them the following turns anyways. I’ve also had plenty of random queue games where I know I’ve won with it but there’s no 100% confirmation. It’s good for the fear factor alone though yeah, you can cop the fattest hand and go wild with bluffs if you know they haven’t got Red Card

its big brain as fuck, stage 2 decks get cucked by not drawing their threats, and you can search this off a poke ball to start pumping
at 150 health it also serves as a better snorlax if need be, that can reliably poke a mon down for the ninja to pick off later

Greninja is probably the best non-ex in the game, it deals the most guaranteed damage for 2 energy out of any non-ex. The only downside is that it's a stage 2 and it doesn't work alone. Japs love using it and the only thing that saves me is when they don't draw into it.

Results in seem and I got 67th
Kinda pissed I got a no-show opponent so that tanked my placing pretty bad, though maybe I would have lost that one, was a Raichu-Pika.
Also invalidates my placing a bit too given the free win, shitty little asterisk on it.

I'm not fossilanon but I want to push fossil Mewtwo into a top cut at the very least, then I will feel accomplished enough to run something cooler and more rogue.
Thank you though, I'll keep trying and tweaking, but I have been analyzing my matches and I don't think I would have preferred a normal Mewtwo or Jynx or Kanga or anything in them, since a lot of times I really banked on the free retreat, and also just general protection after having Mewtwo and Gard set up, slap down a fossil and you are literally impossible to slow down, at the cost of a point.

How do you feel about Red Card?
Does it ever fuck you over so hard you lose? I feel like there's a good chance you just give me free draw when you use it.

It has definitely fucked me over but there are times I pray for them to use it. I use it as either a turn 1 yolo or if they just popped a couple prof oaks/pokeballs

I just thought it looked cool, and it's only available for the duration of the event. It's not very cool now that I know it doesn't go on the highest rarity version of the card that's available. And to think I thought I was lucky.

Ahahahaha dinko just whiffed both his mistys and quit

>>56968071
She fucks black guys. She mentioned it in a slip-up one stream.

>>56968091

>>56968091

Is this fucker running psychic and water?
Mewtwo's weak attack + shuriken KOs any small basic, and you only need 1 psychic, which you can still attack with frogadier line too

And while you are getting color fucked you can stay in with Kanga and just punch away
Froakie seems hard to build up potentially though being 2/5, though I suppose that's the same as a lot of decks out there.
Compare that to Articuno who only has 40, but can also go up to 80 much easier than Mewtwo can go to 150 which would be potentially clutch in some games as it's a really big heavy hitter the deck lasts, and it only needs to pop-off once.

I can't wait for the event to grab my promos so I can start playing around with ninja frog too.

>>56968091
are you serious
i cant
i cant fucking breathe
im having a syroke rihg now
she was suppose yo be a maiden
how did yhsi
>>
t b h I find ursiiday more attractive than most of the twitch ethots, how come she doesnt have more viewers
>>
>>56968025
>Japs love using it and the only thing that saves me is when they don't draw into it.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Gren shitdeck in my life desu, it’s usually 1-2-3 from the Froakie
>>
Ursiiday commentates like a teacher trying to tard wrangle a bunch of 3rd graders with ADHD
>>
>>56968120
because she sucks dick at commenting and every sentence she stutters and goes uhhh
im sure she's nice and her tits should get stared at more, but i put the stream on mute everytime i come in to see the games
>>
>>56968040
Very rarely fucks me over. but there are times where it has or I hope they don't play red card for that specific turn. Lot of the time it helps me or does nothing.
>>
>>56968148
>>56968137
you guys realize she's not a commentator and is more of a tournament player right?
>>
>>56968148
all twitch female streamers are like that
>>
I've built Mewtwo/Gardevoir, Starmie/Articuno, and now Pikajew decks.

What do I do now?
>>
>>56968164
nothing because you're a brainless metafag if that's all you thought to build
>>
>>56968173
Weird assumption. Jealousy?
>>
WHY DO I KEEP LOSING TO NON EX SHITTERS WITH MY PERFECT MEWTWO DECK
WHY CAN I NEVER GET OUT MY FUCKING GARDEVOIR
>>
>>56968164
Bats. Build a bat deck
>>
>losing to non-meta decks with your mewtwotrans deck
kys
>>
>>56968164
Build Charizard ex or Venusaur ex
>>
>>56968173
I mean, there's not exactly much variety yet.
I'd love to mess with a non-pika ex and zapdos ex electric deck myself, but the options kinda suck.
>>
>>56968031
Can you think of any Pokemon in the meta right now that have exactly 120 hp?

take the weezing/arbok pill.
>>
>>56968203
electric is kinda fucked rn, the stage 2 kinda sucks and idk how to build a raichu deck that isn't just scuffed pika, but i do wanna try cooking a dual color fire/electric evee deck
>>
>>56968213
but centiskortch does 130
>>
>>56968213
I can think of one guy that deals 200 as long as I don't piss all of my energy into a suicidal tard mutt
>>
>1 ralts, no kirlia, no gardevoir
at what point do I just craft them
I'm 1 mew2 EX away from competing the EX in this pack

>>56968217
>Raichu is energy intensive
>Magneton sucks outside of enabling Raichu faster
>Eelektross costs too much
It sucks man.
>>
>>56968227
And what do you do when Charmeleon is at the bottom of your deck
>>
i honestly dont know when to use sabrina. half the time i use her its an advantage to my opponent.
>>
>>56968176
>says has built meta decks
>gets called a metafag
>erm actually no u mad
nice bait retard, guess metafags still aren't bringing much to the table
>>
>>56968220
For one more energy, a higher retreat cost, and 20 less hp, yeah. But yes he does only give one prize when defeated but it's not hard to imagine situations where Arcanine would be preferable as well
>>
>>56968232
because the options outside of faggy ex pikachu are as you said limited. so why not branch out and not be a fag for once?

Never get to him because I keep drawing worthless arcanines. Keep trying furfag
>>56968241
>poorfag/lucklet thinks meta is an insult
lmao
>>
>>56968238
i use her either to stall for time and hope to force them to have to use energy to retreat back, or save it for endgame scenarios where I can one shot a damaged pokemon

I play a vanilla Char ex deck you simpleton, I only got my first Arcanine ex pack today. I just find it bizarre when a deck gets good tournament results and anon's first instincts are "durr, that's stupid, why did he put that card in" instead of trying to understand why it worked
>>
mew2 is the most boring deck to play. i rather be flipping coins over raging about my evolutions being in the bottom of my deck
>>
>>56968031
>>56968213
>>56968220
>>56968246
you guys are kind of dumb. if you ask post your cards sorted by highest rarities I'll explain it so even a little kid could understand it
>>
>>56965903
when's the mini set comes out and how long until we get next expansion?
>>
does giovanni work with dragonite?
>>
weezing bros, we barely missed out on top cut in the egirl tourney
two that were 8-2 and barely missed top 32, both ran arbok/weezing only
is muk really that bad, i feel a lot of games I need him to kill the big boys
>>
>>56968294
reread giovanni
>>
>>56968295
I used muk and went 6-3. had 5 straight wins in a row but got unlucky at the end. he's really hard to get online and in a lot of situations he's detrimental because he takes far too much energy and luck to set up

Welcome to the pocket general, watch out for brapfags, you can spot them by their stench.
>>
>>56968253
Electric is my favorite type, so I'll be as faggy as I want to if it means using my favorite.
>>
>>56968164
wanna join me trying to innovate the exeggutor meta? it’s unstoppable unless it bricks
>>
>>56968279
play the basic Mewtwo and use him as a wall to stall until you have all the shit you need
anyone not playing two of him is a retard
