>not a single grass deckhttps://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/67392f4fc4180e08eacf7371/standings
>>56975264Venusaur doesn't do enough damage and Exeggutor's damage is inconsistent. Surely, Meganium will save grass
>>56975265it doesn't matter if he doesn't do enough damage if it's almost impossible to kill the fucker
Pocket gave me a massive Pokekek itchAny of the Switch games worth playing?
>>56975270Nice meme but two Psydrives kill Venusaur.
>>56975287i'm playing legends arceus at the moment and its pretty fun and different. you still get to battle and whatever but the focus is on the open world catching, so it plays a bit differently. it's a nice break from the traditional formula.the remakes are also not bad if you like diamond/pearl.
>>56975270playing butterfree is not a serious proposition, 2 stage2 lines in a single deck is asking to brick 3 4ths of the time

>>56975291Do the math again, see me after class.
>>56975287SwSh is pretty good.
>>56975342I asked Blaine and he said something about "horsepuss is the closest to human vagine" but I couldn't keep up with his ramblings.
>>56975371That was a fun one. Played the main game + DLCs, had a fun nostalgic trip with the birbs appearing again and they looked kino to boot too
>>56975328>DATAMINESI wonder if we'll be able to datamine cards from the next set. We found all the promo cards ahead of time.
>>56975357>setting up two stage 2 pokemonAgain, nice meme but if the deck were actually good it'd have a few tournament tops by now
how the fuck is mewtwo supposed to beat charizard decks
>>56975398mewtwo is charizards only positive matchup. char sucks except against other slow setup decks because it simply hits harder.
>play mewtwo>never get gardevoirwhat the FUCK do you do in this situation
>>56975399lol the only deck that can beat charizard is pikachu because moltres is weak to electric instead of water.
>>56975404had 5 games today playing a water deck and i never drew my mistys. feelsbadman
>>56975407they would've been tails anyway
>>56975342Rapidash is usable in other decks, ninetales double red means it has much less use outside of just blaineStuff like zubat and weezing got alt arts too
>>56975397>realizes he couldn't do basic math>didn't realize memetwo needs a stage 2 to attack consecutively with psydriveYour Gardevoir tops my tournament if you know what I mean.
>>56975407>lame misty users>already using one of the most broken meta decks>roll tails >OMGGGG IM SO UNLUCKY I STILL WIN GUARANTEED BUT I COULD HAVE WON ON TURN 1 INSTEAD WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>56975426>noooo I can't believe I have to wait two more turns for Articuno to keep spamming its moves, this duel is ruined
Nice meta deck and turn 2 coinflip loser. Get kicked.
>>56975412Anon, your embarrassing yourself. It's a nice meme but Venusaur is not a good deck.
I did it, I did it! My meme deck worked!>>56975398Mewtwo is very tolerant of slower decks, which is why they're the better opponent when it comes to meta decks. What makes Charizard annoying is that Moltres is huge meat shield, but Mewtwo players tend to tank using the Mewtwo they're building for some reason which makes it killable.
I can fix the game right now. Make it so you can't play EX pokemon until turn 7.
Only rarely am I giving a "Thanks" when I lose now
>5 matches>I start all of themFuck this game
>grinding battle tree on my 3ds while I get stalled out in a mobile gamekek
>>56975544I wonder what goes through people's minds in those game when they stall. Not like you lose anything from conceding.
>>56975535>no thanks>>56975544>stallingI refuse to believe there are people who get salty on baby's first TCG.
Has anyone tried running Arcanine with Butterfree?
>>56975550It's probably the same type of people who post here thinking concede = rage quit.
>>56975544Well you deserve to have your time wasted for wasting everyone else's time with that homosexual deck.
>>56975557ArcanineEX's biggest issue is getting OHKO'd by M2/Zard EX and getting 2HKO'd by water decks. Butterfree won't fix those match ups.
>>56975557Be the change you want to see.
>>56975559Hi, MMprouress.
>>56975568Nah that guy deserves to have his time wasted as well. I can see he's using a weezing stall deck which is just as annoying. I don't waste my time stalling an opponent but I do instantly concede turn one if my opponent drops articuno, pikachu, moltres or mewtwo ex. I just want to have fun with my beedrill deck so I only play against people who I think will give me an actual fun match.
>>56975559Is this what people who stall actually believe? This is a phone game, I'm literally playing on my 3ds while it's the other person's turns.
>>56975581>weezing stall deckcan't exist if pokemon can swing for over 110
Why is char's immersive so violent
>>56975624You've played with and against meta decks for so long that you can't even comprehend the basic fact that off meta mons can't do 60+ damage by turn 2. I don't concede turn 1 if I see a koffing, but I will concede right away if they evolve into weezing on turn 2. None of my decks can compete against that and my favorite card venomoth is just a pathetically weak version of weezing with 30 less hp for some reason even though they are functionally the same.
>>56975635Feels like ntr
>>56975640>you can't even comprehend the basic fact that off meta mons can't do 60+ damage by turn 2standard for plenty of stage 1s is 80 HP with a 2 energy attack that does 70. Any of them going 2nd will force koga or 2HKO. Venomoth is just ass compared to Sandslash, Golduck, Bisharp, Electrode and others.
>>56975640>pathetically weak version of weezing with 30 less hp for some reason even though they are functionally the same.Mogged even by Tentacruel
>>56975661The important part you are forgetting to focus on is 2 energy. Weezing has already done 2 hits on you for 60 damage, not even adding in the poison ticks by the time you get to hit him. Sandslash might be his hardest counter but that's only because he's weak to it.
>>56975661Venomoth feels bad compared to most thanks to Erika
Nobody uses him....
why the fuck does Mewtwo even run Giovanni
>>5697570360 finishes off most basics, and 160 is a threshold for Dragonite and stuff
Has anyone tried a ditto deck? Does it work?
HOW THE FUCK DO I WIN WITH MEWTWO WITHOUT GARDEVOIR EVER FUCKING COMING OUTTHIS DECK FUCKING SUCKS
>>56975683venomoth problems. In the ideal scenario of going 2nd with evo in hand all of them can swing, evo to cure poison, swing again and force koga or kill. except venomoth. weezing can only buy more than 2 turns before koga against shitmons. hope you get koga's venomoth or a useful EX in the future.>>56975676>>56975689it's really sad. Venomoth should at least have as much HP as tentacruel (or more) to better take advantage of erika. Less HP, less damage and the same effect.
>>56975703you only run 1 or none for fringe cases like oneshotting 60hp basics, or 160hp targets like exeggutor or dragonite
Whats the next expansion? Getting bored of my current decks.Also i found out my nigga Hitmonchan is actually not that bad in a Machamp deck, 80 hp 30 dmg with 1 energy needed for everything is pretty decent
>>56975742Forced update in the next 13 hours. We might get something out of it, if the dataminers can read the runes
do run 1 red card or 2 sabrina
Whats a good partner for primeape?
>>569757611 scope 1 RC
>>56975764Marowak. EX or non-EX works
Guys I never managed to get a mankey from that lapras event. I got every card multiple times except that one so am I completely screwed? The base mankey that can't damage itself is so much worse...
>>56975701I use him with Clefairy and Jigglypuff. It's a cute deck.
>>56975782you might get unfucked when they introduce trading in january
>>56975782Sometimes having 60HP is important. The other Mankey has effectively a 40HP margin if you use its move.
>>56975327FUCKING FINALLY CONTENT AND/OR LEAKS
how much stardust do you think trades are going to cost
do I run the basic mewtwo or jynxwhy do I keep fucking losing with this deck that's supposed to be top tier it's fucking pissing me off
>>56975825everyone says a singleton of basic mewtwo. i run a jynx because it's attack comes online faster and it's a ex revenge killer if it's on the bench. khan is also an option.
>>569755386 now
How to fix the game:>Change the downsides to going first to be closer to the TCG. No supporter, no draw, no attacks. Let them add energy like normal. >Increase minimum basic Pokemon count to 4 per deck>Change gym leader supporters to all work in a similar way. Either they all point to specific pokemon for a strong but narrow effect, or they all point to their type for a lesser effect. >Add replacement trainers for the generic damage buff and switch out>Break Misty's legs>Add an odds adjustment for multiple colours of energy. Keep it simple, make it an x/5 for each type you have selected. Even stupid children can understand a fifth
The update has been scraped on the discord, they are implementing trading right now.>1000 stardust for normal cards, doubles each grade upwards>can only trade normals for normal cards, EX for EX cards, ectera..>Limited to 3 trades daily for poorfags and 5 for premium chads.
>>56975264I like how decks like Pikachu and Articuno go with a variety of builds and Mewtwo is just the same thing over and over again for almost the entire list.
>>56975838Also>EX birds all brought down to 120 HP, Zapdos and Moltres 1 energy ability changed to coloured and colourless. Make Zapdos do 30 damage instead
>>56975841Finally, a use for my 5 Gengar EX
>>56975670But why. How many cards still missing?
>>56975841>doubles each grade upwardsSo is this like 1 Diamond = 1000 stardust or 1-3 diamonds = 1000 stardust?
>>56975838if a pokemon with an ability has a status condition it shouldn't be able to use its ability
>>56975867That's probably fair but I've never personally been in a position where it's happened. What scenario brought this up?
Lucky number 777
>>56975264>not a single Blaine or Bonehead deck in the top 100>>56975842This is just sad. I have the Mewtwos, but the deck just looks so boring.
>>56975873Weezing Pigeot/Victribell
>>56975264>charizard + arcanineWhat?
>>56975373>kitsune are known to transforming into sexy women to lure guys in, fuck them, and eat their livers>talks about horsepussTry again, anon.
>>56975878I don't think I've ever had a Pidgeot deck live long enough to be on the receiving end of it's ability.
>Play Mewtwo for the first time>Just stick him up front>Assemble Gardevoir and double potion him>Immediate concedeI didn't even use a single attack.
Made the post in the dead thread like a retard so I'm reposting.>>56973938Wait, if someone pulls a card from a pack and then you add them a bit later you can get the card in wonder pick still?
>>56975897Yes.
>>56975896>I didn't even use a single attack.Getting Gardevoir out does instantaneous psychological damage, half the people I duel concede right after playing her unless they got a Sabrina or a Charizard.
>people seriously use blaine/rapidash/ninetails decks and act like they're superior to meta EX decksnigga you're just as bad as them fuck off.
I'm so fucking good at this game
>>56975906To be fair, it does mean an inescapable 150 damage per turn so if you don't have a huge body to take one hit AND kill the active Mewtwo back you really do just lose to math
>>56975896I know right?! Why do they concede omg you didn't even get to attack! You only would have done 150 damage each turn! Come on man they probably still had a chance with their sandslash!!!! They're missing out on so much fun playing with you that's for sure!
>>56975920Don't Jynx it.
>>56975932In their defense, they did try to make a genuine effort to come back even from a turn 0 1HKO.

Is Weezing a legit anti-meta strategy or is it just a bad meme deck that only wins 1/10 times even against mewtwo?
>>56975958It's legit and hard counters Mewtwo
>>56975876>but the deck just looks so boring.i spent all last week meticulously checking wonder pick for my last gardevoir. i eventually got them and my prize was a deck i played 3 times and shelved because it was fucking boring.

>>56975265>Meganium>at all relevantOh you sweet summer retard>>56975270I've never understood the Butterfree aspect of this, between Potions, Erikas, & Giant Blooms you get enough heals+way more out of your deck without all the effort of another 2 stage line. But then again mine just absolutely hates giving me Ivysaurs so perhaps at least a couple Caterpie wouldn't hurt.
I have yet to get a single legendary Pokémon. Normal or EX, doesn’t matter. I’ve been playing for about a week. It’s insane lol.
>>56975958they don't want you to know that golbat obliterates ralts and makes quick work of mewtwo while being splashable in every deck
>>56975249buy gold bruv
I finally got Melmetal, it's good, it gets lots of wins but it's the most complicated Pocket deck I have played. The Basics are so fragile and their positioning is key. It's the first time I ever used the "reset" feature to reposition my active Pokemon. You have to play your opponent's deck, know if Meltan will survive an attack, know if you need to sac a Pawniard to stall, know when to evolve them, know how many turns you can stall before Melmetal comes online, etc.., All this is true for every deck you play but this deck has less margin for error. Melmetal is great when he comes online but 4 energy is a lot so it ends up being your only Pokemon seeing action, you have to keep it healthy and protected. It's begging for more healing, maybe a partner Butterfree. Sometimes Bisharp can get the job done on their own but often times since you're investing so much into Melmetal you're not doing any damage until it comes online. I realize the reason this deck is such a challenge for me is because it has two modes: If they let you set up, Melmetal can come online early and outspeed them, if you don't have a chance to set up you have to go aggro with Bisharp. Figuring it out early or taking the gamble determines the outcome. I'm often deciding on the best course of action up to literally the last second. There are too many variables early on for me to say which decks it's good against, I have won against them all except I have yet to run into any fire decks. It all comes down to which Pokemon they put on active. This is the deck where people concede the earliest against. tldr: I'm going to keep playing it until it doesn't work but the deck might require a better pilot.
>>56975986I accidentally hit the deny button on someone I'm so sorry
I'm coping with regular Venusaur since I don't have the ex version but it's fine, I prefer the regular artwork anyway
>running Blaine deck>against jap M2 deck>he takes 2x as long (at least) to play turnsWhat are you even thinking about? I wound up having to deal over 500 damage to this guy before he conceded after a 10 minute game.
>>56976063Chinese and Japanese players have always been the ones to stall and run the timer out for me. I think they see the non moon runes in my player name and decide to act like cunts for fun.
>>56976057The regular artwork is so much better but gap between some EX and non-ex is huge. I don't have either, hopefully I get some during the event.
>>56976028It's not good because 99% of the time you have to evolve your meltan just to keep it alive instead of getting to use its ability, which means you're a sitting duck and die anyway.
>>56976081>gap between some EX and non-ex is huge.Understatement of the year. EX pokemon in the current state of the game should be worth 3 points sine almost every single one wins the entire game on it's own.
>>56975468>unable to do basic math>gets called out>starts shitting and seething>anon you're embarrassing yourself, I-it's not meta it didn't win a tourna-Metafags not dodging the brainless accusations
Finally pulled my first Moltres EX, now I need to pull another one before I can run a non-Blaine Fire deck
>>56975670How many alt arts are you missing?
>wonder pick>pack has full art Dragonite and full art WeezingWhat a nice pull. Managed to get my first Weezing out of it too.
>>56976025>EACH of your benched Nidokingwhore
>>56976086If I can hit off one Amass and evolve, I'm in a really good position. You only need to survive stall for one turn. The problem is when Meltan gets sniped before you can attack and evolve.
who /weezingarbok/ here
>>56976136Nidoking fucks Nidorinas anyway
>>56976147i try to live the /weezingarbok/ life but suffer the /ekansekans/ death
>>56976146Still seems too fragile for a metal deck, will get back to you once i get a second Melmetal
>>56976149>Nidoking fucks NidorinasNidorinas and Nidoqueens are undable to breed.
>Try to use butterftee and tree>lose 90% of gamesits really retarded how inferior stage 1/stage 2 are to just strong basic pokemon like pikabitch and mewtwo.
>>56976025I wonder if Nidoking Ex will count
>>56976147I was a /weeznite/ chud then I took the 5000 IQ pill and became a /weezkazam/ chadLess bricks and more consistent one shots
>>56976147Former /arbokpidgeot/ here, I've succumbed to M2 decks now that I have 2 gardevoirs
>>56975841Real?Not fake?
>>56976168qrd on this?
>>56976163The balance between the stage 2 Pokemon are bonkers. You have useful shit like Arbok, Weezing and Sandslash while also having useless pack fillers like Rhydon.
>>56976160Menopausal women can't breed either but that doesn't stop them from getting railed
>>56976159>for a metal deckIt's the only metal deck. The fragility of Meltan is to balance the power of Melmetal. Otherwise it might be too strong.
>>56976177Pretty standard gameplan, stall out enemies with Weezing+Koga while you build up Alakazam and ohko almost everything with Giovanni.>Abra can teleport back to bench without wasting energy buildup>Alakazam only needs 1 out of 3 energy to be Psychic to attack so you can run dark/psychic pretty reliably>Can still 2 shot most low energy high hp ex's like Exeggutor EXOne shotting fat fuck Venusaur EX that think they're safe because they have 2 butterfree is hilarious. It does have trouble with Mewtwo EX if they play safely and don't overattach energy, since you can't one shot it if you come in after a Psydrive and they usually delete you the next turn instead. But if you get a good start Weezing usually deals with Mewtwo decks pretty well.
How can i change when my free packs refresh? I get one at 8:45 am, the other at 8:45 pm, and the premium at 8:20 pm. I want them all earlier in the day. Did i fuck up? All i can think of is using glass but that will cause me to miss free ones because glass resets the timer right? Anons pls help a dumbass.
>>56976220sounds fun, do you mind posting the exact list? i know they're mostly the same once you fill out mons+standard items but i'm still curious. i want to play it.
>>56975635>>56975653Hot...
>>56976226You'll have to wait a day until you collect both free and premium, and open them at the hour you want. You'll be missing some refresh hours worth of packages though.
Do I go for this?I already have 2 Starmie but ebin trade potential?I have 1 Arcanine from the event and I don't think I want to build a deck with him really.
>>56976226>How can i change when my free packs refresh?Spend hourglasses to open a pack. Doing that resets the timer.So you choose the time you want to open your first free pack and use hourglasses to open it. then add 12 hours to it and that's when you open your second free pack.You don't miss free pack openings, they stack up to 2. (then the free pack timer stops)
>>56976250I have 3 stamina recovered right now by the way
>>56976231Hajime Isayama...
>>56976250I personally wouldn't waste a clock on a 20% chance. But then again, I'm drawing dead when it comes to wonder pulls.Also, we have no idea how trades are going to work so I personally wouldn't start building a collection of "for trade" cards until we do.For all we know, trades will be limited to cards we pull from packs.
>>56976250How do you "heart" cards?
>>56976262>How do you "heart" cards?That's what I'm wondering.

>>56976283thanks, also yeah when i was putting it together before your post i was wondering if you should even run the x-speed in favor of a 2nd giovanni maybe
How many times do I need to check my wonder pick?I don't want to miss out on potential god pack

>>56976343What the fuck deck were you playing to reach the turn limit!?
>>56976283Adding koga and weezing to your deck automatically makes you as bad as any meta EX deck user. Don't think you're some kind of creative and unique off-meta player.
>>56976340Run them until you get normal Alakazams. For three energy he typically dopes 120 or 150 damage so if you think about it he's a better Kingler.>>56976343That can't be true. It would have come up when I was doing the solo missions.

>>56976410>they both do the exact same thinghttps://pocket.limitlesstcg.com/cards/?q=weakness:grasshttps://pocket.limitlesstcg.com/cards/?q=weakness:dark

>>56976430Weezings equivalent is meant to be eggxecutor not venomoth, which has more health and can potentially do more dmg, and has an ex versionVenomoth is meant to be the cheap grass poison applier that gets cucked because Erika exists, otherwise if it had actual good stats it'd be even worse to deal with than weezing since you can stall for longer healing it and has a much better retreat cost than weezing, the heal is better than koga in some spots because you actually can attack more with veno instead of weezing going back into your hand and needing setup and another energy investmentcope and seethe about weezing being broken
>>56976362I haven't played them, but everything I've seen and heard describe them as a single player Pokemon Go.
>>56976470No actuallyIt's just always been a word that stuck with me as being a funny sounding word I learned in English class and thought "wow this is such a worthless piece of knowledge I have now and probably nobody else will remember."The only other time I heard it used was in an English Classroom in Japan but the Japanese English teacher.
Never played pokemon card but I installed it today to see which cards would I get, and I think I got lucky (unless it's all façade and the first rolls are fixed): Arcanine EX, Pikachu EX and Blastoise EX (2 actually, plus several Squirtle and a single Wartortle).Which of the three works best as the main card for a deck?
>>56976464This game is just like the TCG in it's early days, every single deck is 2/3 the exact same trainer cards and like 3 different combinations of pokemon to fit on top of them.
>In normal TCG, an EX pokemon is worth 2/6, 33% of your health>In pocket, an EX pokemon is worth 2/3, 66% of your health>Running 2 EX pokemon means you have 133% health, a 33% advantage over anyone who doesntthis game is balanced by retards
>>56976482First rolls are fixed for your full art and ex, depends on pack.Your full art squirtle and Arcanine ex are guaranteed, but that Pikachu ex and Blastoise ex are pure luckshitting.
>>56976488only retards (me) plays card games so it balances out
>>56976482Arcanine is the most mid and you'll need a Moltres EX. Pikachu is the most consistent/best. Blastoise is the most fun but you'll need to run Misty which is objectively not fun.
>>56976389Nah, Weezing is massively underhated. Easily the best (and most annoying) non-ex card in the format.
>>569764886-prize, 40-card format coming soon?
>>56976482You can browse the tourney results to see some deck ideas/what's more successful. Just don't be a retard and 100% metadeck. I'm trusting you with this power, anon. Don't abuse it. >>56975264
>>56976491Huh, I'd have guessed Pikachu as the fixed card, given it's the postermon of the franchise.>>56976496I'll read about Pikachu EX deck then, thanks.I'm guessing Misty is like Rain Team for the game?
>>56976488Other way around.You are at a disadvantage because they only need to know out 2 mons.Only having ex is a liability, health wise at least, And in pocket because of the percentage being so out of wack you need to run multiple one-prize mons in order to mitigate the disadvantage.
>>56976488I've got mixed feelings about there being no prize cards. On one hand, it's a really cool mechanic that rewards success. On the other hand, it's nice to not get auto-bricked by having cards locked away. Overall, I want it back.
>>56975980>>56975932is jynx better than a base mewtwo
>>56976488Happens plenty in the real tcg too. When Vmax was big, having a 2-3-3 strategy was pretty common. Your opponent was basically forced to take 8 prize cards.
>>56976498If they can't escape or evolve out of poison he is the single best statted stage 1 in the game. Above average HP, effectively 40+ damage per turn all for a single energy, and having Koga as a backup plan makes him a nightmare to knock out. I just wish his star art looked less shitty, something about the 3D render just looks bad compared to the more plain but iconic normal art.
>>56976478>both weezing and venomoth are 1 energy 1 evolution 30 damage + poison mons>venomoth is just meant to be the cheap grass poison applier because...it just is ok?!>i-it's not like koga can heal 100 damage, then evolve another koffing back into weezing the same turn and attack again like nothing even happened!
>>56976512>You are at a disadvantage because they only need to know out 2 mons.If you're retarded and running shit Exs, yeah. But there's a reason why you only see 300 Mewtwos and Pikachus in every tourney. When's the last time you saw a Gengar Ex deck even used in a tourney? The risk is worth the reward if the Ex hits hard enough.
I don't understand what is good about the arbok/weezing deck, or just weezing in general. I get the idea is to let weezing poison shit, use it's (low damage) attack for 1 energy, then eventually koga it back before it dies, but whats the end game of this playstyle? It's low damage and gets destroyed by mewtwo, pikachu, charizard, etc.Am I missing something? Recalling weezing isnt even that good since you still need a koffing to go down first.
>>56976512You are retarded if you don't understand what that guy was saying.
why are the top mewtwo decks running a normal mewtwo? what's the context of using it effectively and not just polluting your pokeball pulls?
>opponent puts a fire energy>on his psyduckwhat in the actual
>>56976536EX basics are all way too tough. They all need like 20 - 30HP shaved off. Being able to stick the rat out in front with no electric on the bench, tank 3 hits, then still start one shotting by drawing into them is stupid. That or make the weakness penalty on EX be double instead of just +20. Let a Machamp break his little back in half.
>>56976539>gets destroyed by mewtwo, pikachu, charizard, etc.Weezing starts fucking shit up on turn 2. Pikachu can sometimes keep up with this. Mewtwo and Charizard need like 6 turns on average to start dealing real damage.I think Weezing would be much more balanced if they just threw on one extra energy to his attack. It would make Koga-ing much more balanced. At least he has a high retreat cost, but Weezing players probably never need a third Koga anyway.
>>56976545Backup body. If your EX is taken too much damage you just put the normal one out to eat a turn or 2 while you dig for your Gardevoir.
>>56976488What kind of comparison is this drooling retard, if you overkill an ex for game in tcg it's 16.5% extra health they haveImagine having to kill 3 exs and a basic pokemon
>>56976539>gets destroyed by mewtwoWeezing is Mewtwo's worst matchup, mostly because of the weakness system
>Starting first>Type disadvantage>Shit starting hand
>>56976552I mean you don't necessarily have weezing turn 2 every time, which really just obliterates this play style I feel like. The turn to turn damage is so fucking low too, what is the win condition? I generally beat weezing decks as mewtwo. It's pretty easy to stall with one of the mewtwo/exs. The only dickshitted situation is if you ONLY draw ralts.>>56976565>gets red carded
>>56976549>then still start one shottingYou picked a really shit example. Pikachu can't one shot a single Ex pokemon outside of the water type. Your example contradicts your thesis, my dude. And there is counterplay to the mouse. Every player worth their salt has at least one Sabrina in their deck. Not to mention he's got a very small health pool for an Ex.
My most fun deck is Dugtrio/Hitmonlee/Machamp.>The psychological play of starting with a hitmonlee causing them to not put shit on their bench. Bonus points if I draw a T1 red card.>Both have low retreat costs, so you can also quickswap Dug in to stall, or Hitmon in to snipe something on their bench. Having 2 of Sabrina and XSpeeds make this even more fluent.>Hitmon counters stallers, he's able to snipe down those Butterfrees/Gardes/Dratinis as they grow>Machop line sits in the back lifting weights until the opponent plays a big splashy ex he can punch in the face. Sometimes I win the game before he even comes into play.It falls apart when Dugtrio is unlucky but I don't care, but unlike most decks I feel like I'm actually doing cool stuff.
>>56976488>>56976493>one minute apartVery nice
Finally got her and Charizard EX in the same pack.
>>56976567Sorry, I'm not the same anon you were talking to. It was more an interjection about how much I hate EX basics that related to what you guys were on about. And I still stand by my belief that every EX basic needs to be softer.
>>56976574Personally I believe that all anons pulling fa Sabrina are honor-bound to post fc
>>56976566>poison: 10 damage>swing at Mewtwo for 30+20>poison: 10 damage>70 damage swing for literally 1 energy/110hp wallWeezing eats Mewtwos, my dude.
>>56976430>even though they both do the exact same thingTentacruel and Venomoth do the exact same thing except Venomoth is bad Tentacruel
>>56976583Thats a good idea. Hope you can wonderpick her anon5342-3151-9893-3704
>>56976588Tentacruel needs 2 energy to attack. It's not the same.
For some reason all poisoning mons have high retreat cost except for Venomoth, so at least it has that going for it, it can poison then easily retreat into something better. Maybe a veno/muk combo could work?
going into event:>main only needed to pull 1 Ninetales>alt only needed to pull 1 Blaineneither of these things have happened yet
>>56976575>every EX basic needs to be softer.I wonder what the logic behind the +20 weakness was. Making it double really only makes Exs riskier to use. It would also make quick decks like Sandslash/Primeape much stronger. Other than that, I don't think there'd be that much of a difference to gameplay. Normal shitmon wouldn't get screwed over too heavily. I mean, my Blaine deck gets their shit kicked in regularly anyway.
>>56976579looks like shit ngl
>>56976585I've had ok luck against weezing/arbok, maybe I'm just fortunate and haven't played against it much.How does a weezing centric deck function against non mewtwo? Losing weakness bonus is huge.
>>56976574m-mommy
>>56976529Like I said, weezing is meant to compare with eggxecutor as the premier non ex tanks of their typeIt's a thing in card games that other types get the same effect as another color but worse, tentacruel costs 2 energy for poison and does more dmg, veno has less health but better retreat costs to poison. Or Brock giving garunteed energy on two pokemon vs misty coin flip (if misty only flipped once it'd be much less cancer), Blaine giving 30 to specific mons vs gio and 10 to everyone, koga bouncing two mons vs Erika healing everythingJust get gud
>>56976539>Weezing attacks for one energy>Koga allows you to scoop up Weezing, so you can eat 100 damage then make it disappear>can use Weezing's ability to poison, then Koga to retreat it for free and finish it off with Arbok>Arbok 2HKOs Mewtwo, Pikachu, and anything else with 120HP, along with 150+HP mons if you poison them first>Arbok punishes your opponent for choosing a random bulky EX to use as a wall when Sabrina'dIf you're looking for a blowout win condition, you're not going to find one. The point of the deck is that your opponent takes points slowly due to the deck having no EX Pokemon and Koga denying points, so you win the race to three points.
>>56976623>weezing centric deckThose don't exist. He's the wall to protect whatever's' charging up on the bench. My personal favorite is Pidgeot/Weezing.
This game is so bad that you can actually tell whether or not you're going to lose by whether or not you're going first and your opening hand (after you play all your oaks and pokeballs out)
>>56976627You don't need to try and make excuses for why you and everyone else uses weezing to stall, even in decks without dark energy. Sometimes it's ok to admit you use a card because it's broken.
>>56976643It's ok I'm just holding out until Shadowverse 2, in which hopefully the game plays better than Shadowverse
>>56976644Good =/= broken, prof research and pokeball are in every single deck possibleThere's a reason I keep telling you to just get gud, or you can just seethe everytime a weezing farts on you kek
>>56976512If your gameplan involves an EX dying there is no downside to your other mons being EX because you'll lose after one more death whether or not it's EX.
>>56976669Your game plan is letting the non-ex die first, then another one die.
>>56976615I think they were concerned about people getting locked out from a match because they happen to be facing their weakness. The bad multicolour support for energy was probably not unknown to the designers so they know people are almost always going to be 1 colour, but rather than risk the screeching of retards who don't understand why card games have randomized resource management they just turned off resistance entirely and made weakness less effective. It's basically a x2 for the little 1 energy 20 attack babies, but it becomes significantly less relevant at larger scales.
>>56976675You have aimed well but to be honest I think only ex-professional TCG players could pull this game plan off
wow it looks like weezing filters mewtwo players and bad players from this game.
>>56976669Two 90 health + 140 hp ex Mon is more health than two 140 hp ex mons, and actually less health than 3 100 hp basic monsThe only non ex deck that compares health wise to 2 ex is Blaine, and both compensate for more dmg
>see a wonder pick pack with a full art alakazam>last time i did a wonder pack with a rare card, i did fucking "eenie meanie minie moe" to pick the card and it was one after the end of the rhyme>decide to pick the card one after the end of the rhyme this time>fucking pinchurchin>alakazam was one card to the left, so i would've gotten itfuck me, fuck that rhyme, and fuck this game holy shit how do you even win at wonder pick
finally got my second copy of venuex bros im so happy
>>56976666>refuses to just admit he's using a card because it's broken>tells other people to get goodtextbook metafag
>>56976690You don't. The card and position reveal is irrelevant, the game determines your pick and just displays the rest around it.
>>56976689The specter that haunts non EX decks is energy starvation. Blaine's bigger compensation is low energy costs.
>>56976683>because they happen to be facing their weaknessIf they thought that, then they're retarded, but I understand it. Anyone who would screech at a Starmie hitting weakness for 180 damage because of a bad match up, but not a Charizard hitting everything for 200 is a mouth breather.
>>56976686Don't you know? One of our resident redditors is an ex-professional tcg player. He's probably in here somewhere.
>>56976700wait seriously? so i was destined to get fucked?
>>56976696>they don't matchCringe. Start over.
>>56976707It's literally a gacha game, anon. They just give you one of the picks randomly.
I have every card in the game except for Archanine EX. That's after 562 packs.
>>56976700That's not true because I have a very high EX pick rate in wonder and it's always when I use my secret picking strategy.
>>56976703What else do you expect from japanese mobile game devs? These are the people who couldn't make the cut making real games that cost money, and have to take contract work to stay afloat. These midwits probably get paid less than 4m Yen a year.
>>56976707We don't know. Your game client tells the server which location you selected and the server tells you what card you got. If you disconnect (or timeout?) during a wonder pick the server gets fed up with you and picks a card on its own. Whether or not the input you send the server influences the result is unknown.
>>56976687Truly the gatekeeper of pocket
>on a win streak>every single card is on the bottom 3 of my deck, no matter what>on a lose streak>draw like an absolute god
Feel like I'm becoming a schizo... 5th rare pick and still no arcanine EX... I'm a top right believer but EVERY DAMN PICK Arcanine it top/bot left... I just want it so I can get mew bros...
>>56976737Funny. I have a playset of Arcanine EX but I want a scrub Arcanine to finish my Blaine loaner mission.
>>56976701Energy and cards. In theory my bug aggro deck can take 4-500 damage before I lose the game, just like a Mewtwo deck can. But the Mewtwo deck only needs to find 5-6 cards, while I need to find 10-11. The issue isn't running out of cards, it's finding them in the right order by the time you need them. Even if you curve out flawlessly for the first 5-6 turns, you're going to need a fresh body to navigate the endgame at some point, and you might just draw your Weedle a turn too late. It's why basic exes need a nerf, probably in the form of a Pokeball ban. It's just too strong that you can have an early game wall that can't get cheesed out by a hard hitter with Giovanni, while also scaling well into the lategame, all off one Pokeball.
>Take a game where energy is random to slow down greedy costs>Remove the ability to remove the energy>Make sure they always get 1 every turn>Don't balance the movesets around itMake it make sense
boy it's just a few hours left until maint
>>56976539arbok is good because there isn't a way to counter retreat locking right now. weezing is good because it has a lot of health and can take hits from the strongest attackers until late game while also doing decent damage itself. they're good together because neither of them require much to get online like other decks do.
>>56976760Reminds me of how Duel Masters added Shield Triggers to compensate for the lack of mana screw.
>>56976736I had a match last night where I only drew a single basic stage Pokemon (and later its evolution) and the rest of my cards were all fully evolved or non-Pokeball cards. I literally used both my Oak cards and got nothing, not another basic Pokemon, not a Pokeball, just more shit that couldn't help me so as soon as the other player set up, he destroyed my Golduck and I lost instantly since I didn't get any other basic Pokemon to put on my bench
>try grass>lose lose lose lose loseI feel like every grass deck is lowkey exeggutor carrying the shit out of whatever filler you have alongside it. Venu is good on paper but the concept of sabrina kills this pokemon. You just never get energy fast enough, you dont have the support that water and fire does.
>>56976760Gotta love that if you go first you don't get an energy but your opponent does, and going first has no other advantage since you can't attack or evolve, so going first is nothing but a hinderance because your opponent can then just set up on their first turn and immediately attack youAND, if you're extremely unlucky with RNG, your opponent can get an EX or a powerful card set up to attack in 2-3 turns while you're still trying to get something going
>>56976774If you have a Stage 1 that needs one energy to attack going first lets you evolve and attack on turn three.
>>56976779there's not a lot of stage-1s that don't require 2 energy to attack
>>56976774it's ok tho because you can play Articuno and Misty to do 80 damage on turn 1 so it's fair :)
Bros, I got my 45 wins yesterday, and I think that made me hate this stupid fuckin game. I logged in today to get the last 5 wins. Just 5 wins! And I fucking hate this game now, like you have no idea. The control you have over winning is so absolutely miniscule that it may as well not exist.
>>56976786I have Articuno EX and two Misty cards and of course when I try to do that tactic I immediately flip a tails and get zero energy
>>56976736>can't win with a god hand>lucks into wins with a shit hand, aka opponents shitting the bedAnon, you're the bad player in both scenarios.
>>56976796You've still gotten an Articuno on the field though. It's not like you're in a bad position.
>>56976798>>>"""can't win with a god hand"""You managed to purposely misinterpret 2 sets of greentext for the sole purpose of making a shitpost. Congratulations!
>>56976783Rapidash, haunter, weezing, egg boy, venomoth, pidgeotto, zebstrika, froggert, golbat, mienshao off the top of my head
>>56976757>In theory my deck isn't shit.
>>56976801Thanks, man. I try.
>Status'd mons can be retreated>Except SleepTHE HIGHEST BULLSHIT
>>56976829Wait, can you retreat when paralyzed? How?
>>56976813Building around stage 1s with 1 energy cost is actually a good way to make going first an advantage and not purely negative. Probably one of the unspoken reasons wheezing is so good
>>56976842But Haunter and Nidorina can do this and they're still dog shit
>>56976774That's why Pika/Mew2/Starmie fags deserve the rope
>>56976783There are 24 (soon to be 25). Many of them see play and several others could easily fit into existing decks if they were worried about going first.
Starmie is such a pain in the ass because its an anti fun deck. If you want to make some mid tier bullshit to have fun with, starmie will always be there to kill you on turn 3-4 like a faggot
>>56976774This is how the game is "balanced", btw. This is how they ensure everything has a roughly 50% winrate as long as it as least has some semblance of cohesion.
>>56976774>play mewtwo deck in a mirror>draw mewtwo turn 1, and go secondgg
>>56976849They have shit hp and the same damage but no poison, probably a consequence of being middle evos you aren't supposed to stop on anyway, but drawing both them and the stage 2 is pure luck
>>56975249>>56976013We literally just had the lapras ex event, we currently still have the pvp event, and just started the fire outbreak event, which will lead directly into the grass battle event. plus there's been huge tournaments to join every week.
>>56976866you still lose if your opponent finds gardevoir and you dont but thats it
>>56976872kys
>>56975219You should add a Dragonite to this. I tried it yesterday, but couldn't roll any heads so I two-turned him instead.
You roll your coins?
>>56975635Did you use AI for this? The text is fucked.
>>56976879Why else would they be round?
>>56976862Kabuto and Omanyte shouldn't count for this
The expansion better introduce an EX version of every end evolution or this game is doo doo
>>56976862Exeggutor EX being only 1 energy is such a crock of shit
>>56976889If you play the fossil on turn 1 and play either X Speed or a 0 retreat Stage 1 on turn 3 they work.
>>56976842Yeah playing that deck and any weezing deck I love going first, weezing to poison and rapidash + trainers shits on most every basic, people cry about first/second way too much when there's clear advantages you can use, instead of playing second favored meta decks and seething you don't get the flip I hope they add more aggro stage 1s, a lot of stage 1s tend to be just tanks you want to evolve ASAP, but if you get the right hands with Blaine you can actually just run people over, it's so fun, I have a newer version of that deck with+ 2 tauros - Kang and something, in case you brick the evos
>>56976028Melmetal seems good vs everything besides maybe mewtwo ex and Charizard ex
>>56976070>>56976063I played a guy in the tournament who was Japanese and played like this. It made me think he was writing down all of our moves and constantly checking what was in my deck. He made it to top 16 or something I believe.
>>56976147I played that in the tournament and knocked out quite a few mewtwo decks
>>56976539Other than the mentioned Arbok set, you can use Weezing as a wall to build up your stronger threats and provide a safe switch in using Koga. That's why people run Weezing+Dragonite / Weezing+Alakazam etc.
>>56976923>I beat decks with type inferiority
>>56976954I also beat some Pikachu ex and Fighting decks, and a deck that counters Koga.
>god pack>it's thisI would kill myself.
>>56976536Pikachu and mewtwo deck both make use of non EX mons.
>>56976959Knowing my luck, I would get the one card out of five I already have
>>56976959I have so many Machamp EXI don't want to play fucking Machamp EXHe's THE shittiest EX in the game hands down. His fucking three energy deep attack doesn't DO anything but damage. At least Gengar can shut down Sabrina\Blaine\Major Bob
Decided to pick top right after reading this thread and got the Kangaskhan I was aiming for
You're a good man.
>>56976539>>56976623Want to bo3 so I can give you a taste of weezing? It's rare that I lose to a mewtwo but you basically need everything to go right on m2 end and everything to go very poorly on arbok/weezing side. There are certain situations that can occur where you are already check mated a turn or 2 ahead of time because of retreat locks and most people do not seem able to take that into consideration.
Dizzy Punch should do 30 damage and coinflip being confused instead of double flipping to 0
>>56976992Top right has demonstrated some genuinely insane results to me, even if it's supposedly the same no matter what card you pick.
>enemy gets 6 out of 6 heads with two inferno dances from his moltres exogey
>>56977014Is confusion even programmed in this game yet
Misty is fucking useless, I think I'm better without her.

So what IS the solution to the going first/second problem? Clearly something needs to happen cause it's a severe imbalance.What you also don't want to overbuff going first.

What if turn 1 got to evolve one turn sooner?
>>56976959if something like this showed in wonder pick would it be worth the 4 cost to do it?None of them are particularly desirable, but a 100% guaranteed FA
>>56977044First they need to add better support for players going first so it isn't an instant disadvantage in most decks, then they need to make it so the player who wins the initial coin flip gets to pick whether he goes first or second.
Stop trying to balance turn 1. It's shit on purpose.
Kek just saw the tournament results.Anyone still don't think Mewtwo is the best deck? LelI still don't like regular Mewtwo for whatever that's worth.Also I find it funny everyone is playing red card (which is mandatory) while scrubs here said it was bad. This metagame is solved. There's a tiny chance new Jiggly will shake things up, but in skeptical. We need 30 card decks to nerf Mewtwo. Unfortunate I was unable to play a tournament when I felt so ahead of the meta, but the prize pools are tiny anyways.
>>56977085If trading works the way we're speculating, then getting a free EX card is good because you can just trade it later for another EX.
>>56976488>Running EX pokemon means you health advantage over anyone who doesntjust like in the TCG
Well, /vp/?
>>56977044Turn 1 player can add energy, but can't evolve mons on his next turn either. Turn 2 player starts with 4 cards in hand.
>>56977095I'm at 200
>>56977097I think just giving turn 2 one card less initially would be worth trying and then analysing the win rates for a while.
>>56977082That's how it works you mongrel.Did you miss this >>56976779 entire discussion?
They should allow you a second chance on the same wonder pick pack at a high cost to completely drain the poor suckers desperately going all in
>>56976737>wasting your hourglasses on thatFor what reason? It's not even a good card.
>>56976964>completely irrelevant informationYou're a fucking retard.
>>56977089>everyone is playing red card (which is mandatory)Their opponents would know if they're not running it. That's not true on the random queues.
>>56977044>player 1 gets an energy>player 2 can't attackFixed.
Fucking Pikachu packs giving me 4 Blastoise EX this week when all I want is a single Gyarados
>>56977118Just trying to complete the set/get mew right now, meta is to stale to want to wonderpick anything else, don't really care if I am throttled on wonderpicks later. I don't feel like it'll be as useful to have wonderglasses as packglasses
im bored someone battle me with ur epic decks battle password: vp
When are they releasing new packs? I like the game but i pretty much got most cards out of the existing ones already.
>>56976817Not what I said.
>>56977137mid december for 1 new pack, another at end of january (with trading)
>>56976700sure jan
>wonderpick with an EX and a full art I don't have yet>looks like good odds!>3 cost>pick it>Metapod
>>56977044>So what IS the solution to the going first/second problem?play a stage 1 that attacks with 1 energy and you'll stop being assblasted about going first. literally all that needs to change is more stage 1s with 1 energy attacks and a way to search out stage 1s.
>>56977122While I see your point, it's still mandatory IMO.
>>56977135I got tired of waiting
>>56977089>Also I find it funny everyone is playing red card (which is mandatory) while scrubs here said it was bad.Fossilfaggot, you're the only retard in this thread. The other anon who replied to you already told you why you're a retard about this (which is something that I said previously), so I wont got over it again. Just know that you've never been correct about anything, and you will continue to larp as someone more important that you actually are for the rest of your life.
>4 charmanders>3 charmeleons>7 growlithes>9 ponytas>not a single vulpixcmon
I got both of my zapdos ex from wonder pick top middle
What cards do you have the most duplicates of?
>>56977227Charmeleon is an uncommon. It's not in the same picks as those other cards.
>>56977241the lizard pre evo
>>56977238I have only ever gotten cards from top right so I can reasonably conclude that going in another position won't give me a card.
>>56977089>Unfortunate I was unable to play a tournament when I felt so ahead of the metaLMFAO. This has to be a bit.
>>56977142tf, only one new pack for the next month or 2?
>>56977089none of this shit matters, if gardevoir is the bottom 2 cards on your deck you lose nigga
>>56977089another day of tourney fags being retarded
How does poke tcg do their ban list, do they just ban the cards or do they do any restrictions?Limit to 1 would be brutal in this game
>>56977291There are no restricted cards and they almost never ban cards in rotating formats: https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/about/pokemon-tcg-banned-card-list
>>56976989Arcanine is worse
The frogs aren't half bad.
>>56977328yea they're full bad
>>56977328I have a Greninja deck too but find this one good enough to still rotate in.
>>56977328That's too much investment for such a weak move. Being a stage 2 is also subject to the whims of good draws.
>>56977327120 is much more appealing coming from a stage 1 that you can charge up with Moltres, Arcanine has been seeing more play for a reason
>insta lose a match because i cant find my stage 1 or 3This really sucks for decks that dont want to run basic strong pokemon with no evos. Grass doesn’t have a way to send out some strong bullshit thats tanky immediately that can buy time for set up. Exeggutor is good until you start a match without being able to evolve it. Its actually just instant gg. With mewtwo and charizard you can either draw it or pokeball moltres to your hand.
>>56977362>Its actually just instant gg.You can normally surmise this just from your opening hand, whether or not you're going first, and what the opponent has on board by like turn 2. This is an extremely shallow game that is designed this way to that children can play anything and still win sometimes.
>>56977301Pretty chill ban list for how insane some cards can beI'm sure a bunch were part of some degen combo, but if these are the worst cards banned it could be much worse, guess pocket is going to get much either
>>56977367Wow nice, you learned how to evaluate board states and figure out a strategy, good job anon, I think you might be able to beat children now, you're doing great!
>>56977379I don't understand why you felt the need to so condescendingly and so passive-aggressively agree with me.
>>56977371Those cards are banned in Expanded (most cards since 2014). The main format is Standard (all cards from the last 2 years), which currently has no bans.
What happened to the Magikarp event?
>>56977384I'm merely congratulating you on the conclusion you came to, why would you think it was meant to be something else?
Which boosters have Koffing
>>56977392Alright, you're just gonna keep doubling down then. The important thing is that you clearly agree with me (anyone who has actually played this game would) and yet you are feeling as if you need to be condescending and passive-aggressive about it. This says more about (You) than it does about me, if this is how you treat opinions that you agree with.
>>56977395Mewtwo.If you click on the card's empty spot in your collection it will tell you that.If you click on the offering rates for each pack it will tell you what's in them.And you can search https://pocket.limitlesstcg.com/ for this information as well.
>>56977402Anon you said I agreed with you, what's with the spergout? Do you not like finally being able to beat children? Most people can, so I'm glad you finally reached a level where you feel competent, that's a good thing to be proud of.
why doesn't jynx get an ex card?
>>56977417>no u intensifies Honestly, why are you like this?
>>56977419She big ugly.
>>56977419Ability: Attach a colorless energy to both your opponent's active pokemon and any of your own.Attack stays the same
>>56977367I think a lot of people are overly confident in the conclusion they draw within those first two turns, but yeah. You usually know about how the game will play out based on your starting hand and the initial board state.
>>56977419Jynx EX in the Lorelei packOnyx EX in the Bruno packGolbat EX in the Agatha packDragonite EX in the Lance pack
>>56977421Anon where did I say no u, I'm a little confused, I'm trying to be nice since you seemed like a bit of a doomer
>cottonee
>>56977391've been bamboozled.
>>56977391>this anon had a magikarp event in his parallel universe instead of this shitty arcanine onetake me with you
>>56977432Just kill yourself, anon. You cannot possibly be a pleasant experience for anyone to be around. >bit of a doomerSomeone (presumably (You)) was complaining about the game, but their complaint was not unique to the deck they were playing. It is a universal complaint within this game, no matter what deck you're playing. For agreeing with this person, you starting hounding me with condescending passive-aggressiveness, for god knows what reason. I agreed with you, and you agreed with me, and yet you're being a piece of shit about it.
>>56975219Shes dressed normally today... wtf?
>>56977447He got that info from the same site that says "The Strongest Gene" booster pack will release in December 2023.
>>56977459She's only a whore on weekends.
>>56977328Everything is good if you rush it out and your opponent bricks.Maybe except Rhydon.
>>56977451Anon what makes you think I'm being a piece of shit about anything, what's with the meltdown telling me to kys. Are you sure you understand what being passive aggressive is, you seem awfully attached to the saying. You didn't say anything wrong right, and I haven't said anything negative about you, so what appears to be the issue here autist?
>>56977481This is never going to go anywhere. This is just how you are. If you have no friends, you are the reason why.
>>56977429>4 new packs>76 new cards totalPlease no
>>56977490How mad? Oh and by the way autist past the spectrum, since you don't seem to be capable of understanding your own meltdowns, you're feeling threatened by the idea that you're barely any better than children. Good job little retard, you can do basic strategy that's required in any game in existenceCope and seethe, I know you're too autistic to do anything else
>last time poor Chingling got to be on a card was in Gen 4
I think you're both autistic.
>>56977520You're the one who got mad though, anon. You got so mad that you started being a condescending, passive-aggressive little shit, all because I agreed with you here >>56977367All I did was agree with you, and this is what you're doing as a result.
>>56977437lookit this ligger picking cottonee
>>56977529goodfuck that little turd
This argument, far more so than the random shitty decks I end up playing against, truly makes me feel surrounded by literal children.
>>56977529Could you link this doc?
>just beat a Psyduck/Gengar deck with my Charizard deckBrother you had every opportunity to beat me, how could you fuck that up?
Do you guys save up your pack openings or do you just open them up as they come?
>>5697749619 new cards per pack.2 crown rares, 2 triple stars, 2 double stars, 2 single stars, 2 quad diamonds, 3 triple diamonds, 3 double diamonds, 3 single diamonds.Enjoy opening the same 9 cards over and over and over and over and over and...

>>56977579I wouldn't call it an argument though. That's the most insane part. I agreed with and expanded upon what he was saying, and then he starting being a mother fucking cunt about it, even though he agrees with me.
>>56977598>Do you guys save up your pack openings or do you just open them up as they come?open them as they come. but i'm saving hourglasses for the upcoming mini set
>>56976397>WIshlist in card browser>Click a card you don't have and there will be a heart in the top rightHoly crap, that's great.now if we could just heart cards we already have for a second card.
>>56977437>Ligger Nyncher>Cottoneeok this is epic
>>56977579>This argument, far more so than the random shitty decks I end up playing against, truly makes me feel surrounded by literal children.i would love to face random decks. All i face are pikachu or mewtwo decks that rinse my charizard deck (CAUSE I CAN'T FUCKING FLIP HEADS!)
Im hope you're proud. You kill marvel snap.
>>56976908Surprisingly Charizard and Mewtwo need 2 or 3 turns to set up so you can catch them by surprise and disrupt their bench. Victreebel can destroy the basics in fire decks before they evolve and then double team on Moltres. If you evolve Meltan before Mewtwo attacks you are in the clear. The biggest threat is Giovanni and anything that deals 40 or 50 damage early.
I'm one 3 diamond card pull away from being able to get Mew if I spend all my pack points.
>>56977676The fanbases don't overlap that much. I looked at a video of Marvel Snap and the gameplay looks atrocious.
>>56977676Capefags deserved it.
I genuinely dont understand how you lose as a charizard player, everytime i play against him he's out with 5-6 energies almost as early as possible
While i understand why the simplified the game for phone duels to go quickly, I do miss Pokemon having more than 1 fucking attack and most pokemon actually having effects.

>>56977752i mean the all the challenges
At least have Thanks give some pittance of EXP if you've reached your tranny tickets, this grind is painful
>>56977752Yeah, that shit is kinda annoying.

Got my second Blaine. I have a playset of everything from the free picks now.THERE'S NOTHING TO DO
>>56977801EXP grind in random matches
>>56977784>Starting first>evolve first>skip a turn because your stage 1 requires 2 energy to attack
>>56977412Thanks anon
>>56976579>When you play 1 of your EX Pokémon, your turn ends.
>30 turn limit results in a tiewhy
I like how this game takes no skill and is determined the second you draw your starting hand. I give no fucks when i win or lose. Its always the decks fault, thats based
>>56976841You can't. He's just a brapfag that wants poison damage on the bench.
>>56976579>Mega Mewtwo Ex>it's obviousloy Mega Mewtwo Y
>>56977044Just bring the babies with 0 cost attacks.
is it worth wonder picking for just a rare (like garde)?
>>56977858my wonder pick priority1. missing cards for meta decks2. 2 star cards3. 1 star cards4. any card im missing to complete dex
>>56977858If you value getting to play the deck sooner highly, yeah. If there's nothing else in the Mewtwo pack you really want then definitely. Being able to start opening a pack that has more good hits by wonder picking a Gardevoir is probably going to be better for your collection than trying to just pull a Gardevoir and nothing else.
>>56977858>>56977858For me, I am for collecting the dex, meta dex or missions, gard falls under both so I do itAlso since wonder picking gives exp per stamina, i think everything else i get on top (the card) is extra since the exp is more valuable for a level up for more shit anyway
Inferno Dance should remove your energy for each tails you get
>>56977169>a stage 1 that attacks with 1 energy>need to start or draw the specific basic turn 1>need to have or draw the specific stage 1 turn 3>dies to red card>already took damage if the basic wasn't KO'd>to get revenge killed by a pokemon with 2 energy>all that to deal 40 damage (80 if you're extra lucky)>and in you don't go first your just in a worse position than your opponentI can't believe I fell for that. I agree they need to make 1 energy stage 1 better but in it's current state they are not an advantage to going first and they often make you worse off.
people who use pikachu are probably overweight
>>56977910Says the fat nerd playing the "sit back and let the coin flips play for me" deck
>>56977915>stop using coin flips in a game thats 90% coin flipsyeah?
>>56976716Meaningless number because most of those packs don't have a chance to have Arcanine EX
