>>57044271at least you'll have something to trade...ha...ha....
>>57044288>he thinks it'll be anything but wonder tradeEnjoy trading your pinsir full art for a pidgey
I don't think the board layout makes good use of a phone screen's real estate.
>>57044271>3 of Zard pack’s full arts are of common pack cardsWhat the fuck were they thinking?
>free wonder pick sucks >regeneration of resources comically slow>don't have a complete enough deck to make battling funNot trolling but what reason have they given people to keep opening the game? Surely casuals are gonna open it for the daily packs and then eventually forget about it since there's no real incentive to play.
>>57044294>Enjoy trading your pinsir full art for a pidgeynahhh. trading will certainly be rarity for rarity if it's random like that.
What are some fun decks I can tryBasically anything that isn’t Pikachu mewtwo Charizard venusaur or egg ex
>>57044303>>free wonder pick sucksI got one promo a day for the first two days. This trend is likely to continue.

>>57042280Thanks again anon, I managed to get moltres on my alt
>>57044297it's so that you don't have to hold it sideways. That said, it would be nice if there was an option to hold it sideways. >>57044305I like my team rocket deck
>>57044305Weezing/Arbok/Wiggly.
>>57044315Marowak + Digtrio or Sandslash right?>>57044420Oh some sort of status spam?
I have made the greatest Gengar deck of all time....
>>57044452Marowak ex usually goes with Dugtrio, Sandslash or Primeape yesI'm playing it with Machamp ex however since I want to use Machamp but not enough to use it as the main wincon
Also I’ve been trying BlaneVery fun when it works but when you just don’t draw Blane or Ninetails/Rapidash you just insta loseBut I guess that’s the nature of a glass cannon build
To the god pack anon thanks I will now make my machamp deck and proceed to fuck pikachus in the ass. Also looking at what everyone who picked this got I see no real pattern, its as everything sheer rng. The good news is that you can see the wonder pick appear even over a day after opening it.
>>57044518>what you get from the wonderpick is rngno shit. So many people are convinced there's a way to cheat the system, when it's just rng.
>>57044518Everything you said is stuff that we already know from the godpack discord youtube videos.
>>57044539the placements probably don't even matter, it's prob just rolled when you pick a card
>>57044574you can probably find the video, I've seen a guy test that by opening the same wonderpick on the same account in 5 different instances picking different cards but always got the same card. As soon as you select the wonderpick the game predetermines what you'll get.
>>57044518>jungle speak languageinto the rotom-h you go!
>>57044553>Discordnever heard of it>>57044587I've seen videos of people with 5 accounts picking the same so that's what led to wrong assumptions.>As soon as you select the wonderpick the game predetermines what you'll get.So closing the app would already add the card to your list if you didn't press on the card before closing I presume.
>>57044606>never heard of itYou weren't in these threads when people were sharing the godpack youtube videos made by some asian guy?
>>57044587That's because the moment he picks the card the server knows what he got from the Wonderpick. Why the fuck would that mean that it's predetermined? You pick a card, a packet is sent to the server and then a packet is sent back with the result of the wonderpick. Do you think that theyd let his account get 2 separate cards from the wonderpick? You sound like a fucking mong.
And they don’t stop coming and they don’t stop coming

>>57044635>rainbow Sabrina coinThe game better bend to my whim if I'm paypigging it that much
>>57044644>what I felt like after buying the gardevoir bundle and using all of the gold to get the Erika bundle
>>57044643Every so often when I drive past an apartment complex or home I see a bedroom with those tacky "streamer" mood lights and I feel murder begin to boil my blood.
>>57044631the server isn't sending the information after you pick the card, the info has already been sent as soon as you select the wonder pick. Dataminers have already found this out retard
>>57044644shit, Erika*
>>57044282Venusaur is literally me.
>>57044661wind yer neck in
>>57044610Nope, but I'll check it out thanks
I don't rightfully know what PLANETA is but I do know that the card art they produce is apparently garbage.
>>57044730What is some of their cards?
>>57044262She did it! she finally has Venusaur!
>>57044738Don't ever reply to me again, tripfag.
Godpacks show up all the time in Wonder Pick, but only for 1 hour during your sleeping hours
>>57044663I respectfully disagree.
>open pack>rare normal mewtwo at the front>didn't spin the pack, it wasn't a reverse pack>last card of the pack is Haunter, no other hitsWeird. I didn't know that could happen.
>>57044643Thank god she has someone else casting with her. Raven is a top choice too
I can't pick a promo card whenever it appears on the bonus pick
>>57044772the order in which the cards are shown aren't the order in which they're drawn, in so far as the rare 5th card thing goes
>godpack anon finally shows up>it's a brickit's so over
>>57044790That's the one I'm seeing too right now.The godpack should show up eventually however, the last godpack anon I added was 2 days later
>>57044792>the last godpack anon I added was 2 days lateri've literally never seen a godpack from any of the like 5 anons i've added though
>>57044790I saw the godpack 36hs after it was opened. It will come, you just have to be patient and reduce your friend list.
So many these players in the tournament are absolutely terrible. Lel that Charmeleon promotion to active was extremely terrible. Dude just drew Charizard anyways lmao.
>>57044785Are you trying to gaslight me into thinking that regular Mewtwo wasn't the first card showing when I opened the forward-facing pack?
>>57044305MistyCuno
>>57044452You harass with weezing and arbok while building up wiggly as a finisher, if there is a need for it. Sadly dark lacks any hard hitters so Wiggly is the best for it now.
I love jelly donuts
This greninja wigglytuff deck doesn’t feel great the more i play it. Not enough energy to go around ever. I beat top tier decks but lose to shitty alakazam decks, everything kinda boils down to a lucky sleep
>>57044812I'm just saying, the offering rates talk about the fourth and fifth card possibly being rare (unless you get a god pack). But they're talking about the fourth and fifth card that's determined that you will draw, the order of the cards you're shown is unrelated to the order of the cards that the game determines you'll get.
>>57044832That deck can be bad or funny, but never good.
>>57044832>everything kinda boils down to a lucky sleepThats basically the premise of playing wigglytuff
>>57044832the problem is that both greninja and wigglytuff are setup mons, and you really want to pair them with something that can brawl on the frontline in the earlygame. I've had more success with exeggutor ex/farfetch on wiggly's side (not only that, it became my favourite deck), and that one tournament list with 1of mewtwo ex on greninja's side
>>57044605>she doesn't switch the settings to get cards in other languagesngmi
>>57044830If Lance were a variation that let you attach either Electric or Water energy to a Dragonite it'd be a lot better than this
>>57044832I played it in ursii's tourney last week and went 6-3 and yeah you're basically right. Against mewtwo EX, if they lead with it especially going second, you're pretty much screwed. You have to win 2 sleep turns with jiggly to stand a chance since Mewtwo will knock you out with 2 energies.
>>57044838>the order of the cards you're shown is unrelated to the order of the cards that the game determines you'll get.I have literally never seen a rare anywhere but the 5th slot. The only exception being packs where I get like an EX and also a full art or something, or maybe two EXs. I've never seen a rare be anywhere other than the 5th slot when it's the only rare card.
>>57044862Happens all the time to me
>>57044889>The only exception being packs where I get like an EX and also a full art or somethingYou need to learn to read.
>>57044262>Erika AI TCG Companion:

>>57044910AI slop has infiltrated deep into 4chan, anon. I hope you're not surprised.
>>57044783Same, I think 90% of the free promo picks have been wonder hourglass. I got a regular bulbasaur once and 2 shop tickets.
>>57044905you can look at the offering rates and see the chances of seeing rares in every slot. 5th slot has the best odds but you can get rare alt arts in the other slots
Whats the best machaml deck? Im waiting for that 2nd ex machamp, i really want to make a fun fighting deck already

>>57044917I got nothing but shop tickets and a single Bulbasaur. Hourglasses would've at least been useful.

I swear butterfree exeggcutor feels more invincible than exeggcutor venusaur sometimes
>>57044918I wish all of you autists would just fucking die. I made a post saying that I didn't know that could happen. The rare has only ever not been in the 5th slot for me in packs where there are multiple rares. Then some asshole replies to me and he couldn't even read the post I made. Fuck all of you.

>>57044954You wouldn't get it
>>57044812>It's possible for the order of the cards in the results to differ from the order the cards were actually selected in.
I hate how you dont really have an ex card until you have 2 copies.

>water has misty>fire has moltres>psychic has gardevoir>grass has lilligantMeanwhile>fighting has brock lol>lightning has a redirect to a few mons>steel has meltan which only serves itself>Dark doesn't even have anythingWill we see better energy mechanics going forward? Since the energy system is different in pocket it seems it will be a staple that every expac brings cards that improves on the baseline bad energy mechanics.
>>57044973https://archive.org/details/japanese-girl-singing-erika
>>57044981the TCG has always been like this, they aren’t going to add more types.
>>57044972I can't even cope with 1 regular Exeggutor + 1 Exeggutor ex because the game refuses to give me a second Exeggcute
>>57044981Lightning has Magneton.
>>57044988I have 3 mewtwo EX and not a single weezing or Koga. Supporter cards being harder to get than you’d think really blows
>>57044972Mia > Lanzhu
>>57045005It's only an issue early on and if you really want a support card you can use pack points
>>57045005I have 4 Mewtwo EXs (2 immersives) and I also never got a Weezing, Koga, or even a Koffing. I eventually got both Weezings and both Kogas from WP, but I'll have to craft the Koffings whenever the next versus event is so that I can actually play Weezing.
>>57044297>>57044395The true solution is a 5x8 grid containing all cards in the gamestate. Shuffle the cards around to keep zones contiguous and draw divers between them. Hidden information shows as card backs instead of fronts and cards that have been discarded or evolved form are faded out like the current discard piles.
>Fossil Researcher>Draw two random Fossil cards from your deck and add them to your hand.I expect something like this to be in the mini-set.
You just know
>>57044951Arbok vs Mewtwo is a free win.
>>57045025Nah. Let's just keep it nice, simple, and compact.
>>57045030Mewtwo already performs miserably against darkness decks
>>57044643Why is she talking to a male. Dropped.
>>57045046Arbok can trap and kill some EX poks that are used as openers, or anything that can't fight back because not enough energy in early game.
>>57045033your not accounting for stadium cards, that's why theres a spot on the side already.
>>57045033I think we can agree that this would be an improvement.>>57045089That can sit on top of a discard pile without a color filter applied to it.
>>57044643Paizuri window...

>>57045197rude!

>>57045215Naizuri then, I'm not complaining
>just flip heads
>>57045208dang
Another day, another 5 win streak broken at 4, I'm not ready for the event.
>>57045275Just stall the timer.
>>57045275You'll occasionally run into people conceding at the start of battle for the participation missions.
>>57045277That's my plan, mewtwo + stall
Should I be throwing now to lower my MMR for the event?
>>57045301there's no ranked system retard
>>57045208she's ugly, its a shame she got molested(either by a family member or the television)
>>57045302There is absolutely a hidden MMR
>>57045208This girl is almost hot but something about her just "gives me the ick" as the kids say.
>>57045301We don't know how the MMR system works (and honestly we don't even really know if it exists, but given that I fight Mewtwo and Pikachu like 90% of the time, I think it does, cuz other people don't have this experience) and it might "reset" in the event queue, so I'm going to concede like 30 games or something before trying for the 5 wins.
>>57045301It’ll probably have its own event-specific matchmaking based on win streak
>>57045302
>>57045363It's the face. There's too much of a fish-like swollen look to it. Gives the impression she's the child of a stereotypical dim-witted bully.
>>57045376Might be a "deck weight" thing like MTG Arena has.
>>57044951the current strat for almost every deck is to have their main attackers be built up on the bench while they have tanky pokemon in the active. with sabrina and arbok you can ko their attackers or get their 2 prize tank stuck in the active so they can't retreat and attack back. once arbok is online most games will be decided if they can kill arbok or not in one turn.
The 5 in a row mission had better be a 1 off thing. I already do KOG twice a month in Duel Links for the gems and even when I win I can still get a stress-induced headache afterward. And that's with a battle system that's much easier to get a handle on compared to the RNG fest of TCGP.
>copy paste a deck that got top 8 at a tourney >draw a bad hand and insta lose to a dragonite faggottheres no way you are ever convincing me this game takes skill
The problem with the game is victory takes too few points. It should have been 7 instead of 3. That way, you don't feel like the outcome is decided early on because there's way more opportunity for a comeback, and takes some of the pressure off of having to go 1st.
>>57045411it's more luck based than skill even for a card game atmi steamrolled an enemy running moltres/charizard, but because he couldnt get a charmeleon he lost a moltres ex and a charmander with 9 fire energies
I don't think I'm pulling that FA Sabrina... Might be time to spend the 1250 points
>>57044303>don't have a complete enough deck to make battling funDid you start last week? I have too many decks. I can't even fit all of the shit I want to try. I would even be willing to spend gold on more deck slots. I need at least another 5 or 10 right now. All of my decks aren't completely different just if you're wondering. Like different variations of my Koga deck, My starmie decks, my Grass decks, wiggly Decks, electric decks, fighting decks etc.And I don't even have mewtwo or Venasaur yet.Some decks I want to make but missing a card and don't have space for>greninja/starmie or greninja/articuno >butterfree/eggecutor but missing 1 caterpie>melmetal decks >Golem decks >more onyx decks but missing one more brock. >Omastar variations there's so many decks I want to try
>>57045426More points would be better too because it would allow Stage 2 Pokemon to see more action instead of being forced into the dichotomy of win con or irrelevant.
>>57045426pocket is meant to be played in short bursts. a 7 point game would take longer than even the non pocket TCG
>>57045385>"deck weight" thing like MTG Arena has.Can you explain this?
>>57045442I'd rather they make a game that feels engaging and fleshed out than a game that feels rushed and chaotic. Besides, it feels like they're trying to have it both ways anyway. Introducing a 5 win streak objective is going to be more time-consuming than if they picked another more relaxed goal.
Didn't get to screencap, but it was obvi top middle
Day 60 of not getting a Zapdos or moltres from wp or pack
>>57045443Every card in Arena has an arbitrary weight attached to it. Your deck's weight is the sum of the weights of all cards in your deck. The game prefers the match players against decks of similar weight (while also preferring not to arrange mirror matches).Arena had a bug a while back that would spit out a user-facing error message exposing a deck's weight. People used it to figure out every card's weight so they could build worse versions of decks that had weights that would get them into favorable matchups.
>>57045443MTG Arena has an algorithm that tracks the winrate of different cards in their Brawl game mode(which is some weird fake commander) and their matchmaking pairs you with somebody who has a similarly powerful deck. I think it puts extra weight on the deck's commander.
>>57045464>>57045472>People used it to figure out every card's weight so they could build worse versions of decks that had weights that would get them into favorable matchups.Holy fucking shit. MMR/SBMM really is complete cancer. I miss back when games didn't have it.
uuuuuooooohherika sama... your 50 healing makes me...aaauuhhhhhhh erika s-sama...!
>>57045472>MTG Arena has an algorithm that tracks the winrate of different cards in their Brawl game modeThey're not algorithmic. They're arbitrary. As in "decided by an arbiter". Most of the weights were just default values used for every card in the same rarity but any card with a different weight had its weight hand-picked by a developer.And the weight system wasn't specific to Brawl. And for that matters card weights weren't format specific. Which led to dumb situations where cards had that high weights because they were good in Brawl would also have high weights in formats were they didn't see much play.
I only like the PVE in this game. It provides plenty of challenge as it is since they don't hold back from giving the AI good cards. I hope they stop incentivizing PVP. Private matches and privately organized tournaments are welcome though.
>>57045492It's been several threads since anyone posted a screenshot of a battle.
>>57045456theres a 20 card deck limit. unless they plan on increasing the deck size the game wont be any more fleshed out than it is now.
The game is fun but I’m feeling a little fatigued so hopefully the 16th brings something fun
>>57045500>It's been several threads since anyone posted a screenshot of a battle.There's an anon who posts Weezing/Arbok matches to catbox. I count this as "screenshots"
>>57045473>I miss back when games didn't have it.The older system, elo is even worse.
>>57045513>The older system, elo is even worse.I'm talking about the good old days when you just queued up and got connection based matchmaking with literally anyone. You'd just queue and you'd just play, doesn't matter against who.
>>57045528>doesn't matter against who.devil take the hindmost
>>57044303>what reason have they given people to keep opening the game?Gambling addiction
Me? I'm lucky. You and the other guy? In too deep and regretful.
>>57044303Casuals aren't where the money is at. The lack of content means whales have nothing to do but spend more
>victreebel>140hp, 2e, not an ex can lure a benched mon to the active spotDoes it let you choose the benched mon? It seems useful desu
>>57045641yeah you choose which pokemon gets benched. the ability is broken but the problem with victreebel is the same problem with all stage two decks. it requires a lot of digging and top deck luck to get set up properly.
>still no VenusaurI'm going to need to blow my hourglasses on this fat fucking frog
>>57045665>gets benched*gets switched
>>57044905Incredibly ironic coming from someone that can't even read what the game itself says.
>>57045665Yeah I imagine but it could go well against pikachu deck baiting tje bench and with erika heals. In any case, grass type needs a good single stage going forward.
>>57045712>not going out of your way to read the fine print is exactly the same as replying to an anonymous post that you failed to actually read
>>57045728just admit you were wrong and move on man
>>57044303its pokemon.remove that aspect from the game and it would have been dead on arrival.

>>57045792Nigga they hold competitions for pokemon go no shit
>>57045718Grass has a ton of good stage 1s. What they desperately need is a good basic. A basic ex with Find a Friend plus a strong 4 energy attack would be godlike.
>>57045431>9 fire energiesyou don't ever need more than 5 on a benched zard and putting more than 4 on charmander when you don't even have charmeleon is a waste, he lost for a reason. >>57045492>PVE>challengethe only challenge the AI poses is getting better card draw than you. even the hardest difficulty the AI will swap in pokemon that will 100% die and not make any plays based on what you have on the board.
I think matchmaking is based on deck more than MMR after some tests
I just can't best the machamp x marowak deck in the solo battlesIt's too strong, none of my decks are good enough
>>57044303>don't have a complete enough deck to make battling funfound your problem. I made an alt and on my first reroll I immediately got the cards for a meta deck. Now I have that deck on my alt and basically every other meta deck on my main.
>>57045437The shit posters are unable to think of decks that aren't just copied meta decks, please understand
>>57045810Whats the best variant of that deck? Tried to make it but lost like 3 times in a row
>>57045805>I think matchmaking is based on deck more than MMR after some testsI absolutely agree. I think it works something like this.>If new or haven't won much. Your deck will have most matches against a deck you have a type advantage over.>As you win more you'll at first be given matches where another deck has the type advantage over you. >Then it'll slowly look for decks that seem to have an advantage over your deck but isn't a type advantage. While also placing you against decks of the same type. Maybe to establish which deck of each type wins the most?This is what I've noticed. Also, if you have a lot of decks that you switch between, you'll notice something else too. Like it seems to reset the difficulty or something. But if you keep playing and winning too much with one deck, you'll start getting mostly counters and decks that have type advantage over you. At least this is how it seems to me.
>no dark or steel type exlame
>>57045810How old is your account? one of your Meta decks should be able to get lucky against it eventually. Most of won by getting lucky before we had our meta decks. >>57045848Don't know about best but Primape seems much better or at least more aggressive and quicker than Sandslash.
>>57045767Playing NOEX made me hate Nidoking. Why does he get to hit for 90 plus 10 continuous for just 3 energy and a single prize? Venusaur ex hits for 100 but requires 4 energy and Gengar ex hits for 100 with 3 energy, but they both yield 2 prizes.
Mewtwo is shit right?I have the immersive and it's okay for 2 energy 50 damage but the 4 energy discard 2 energy attack just doesn't seem worth it vs like haunter
>>57045865Venasaur heals and has massive hp. Nido still gets oko by mewtwo. Vena feels like a win if it gets out vs anything but mewtwo and Charizard. Nido doesn't feel like an auto win vs most things. And gengar has massive hp while shutting down anything that needs support cards. I feel like gengar actually counters weezing decks because you can't use Koga and without Koga weezing is garbage.>>57045867Gardevoir? You should try the deck yourself.
>>57045867
>>57045873I know, I was specifically talking about the NOEX format. In standard there are plenty of answers but the lower power of no ex makes shit a lot worse.
>>57045859I've only been playing a few days, I just beat it finally I got lucky with my early draws and moltres coin flips and he whiffed at me twice with his
>>57045859Rapeape also *requires* the promo Mankey and is pretty garbo without it to activate his condition, so recently started accounts are shit out of luck.
ONE WEEK TO GOSURELY WE GET NEWS TODAYSURELY THEY WILL TELL US"HEY THERE S A MINISET COMING A WEEK FROM NOW!! GET HYPED!"
>>57045856Wiggly EX.
>>57045911Have we gotten forewarning on any of the other in game events? They might just drop it on us on the 16th and make an announcement post then.
>>57045911Do you not play the game? So far they haven't given any news beforehand. All we know is from extracting the info ourselves and they only make a news post the day something starts.
>>57045924>>57045932Only because we're dirty gaijin piggushttps://x.com/pokemontcgp_jp?lang=enThey always tell us on the JP twitterThe Video game awards will be on this week too, maybe they have an ad there for it
>>57045933>in the upcoming event, try to use your favorite decks to win!I'm going to need an anti pika deck, I can feel it.
5 in a row with MistyCuno seems hard, but I can't pull a second Mewtwo ex or Gardevior so we flip for it
>>57045954Try changing your decks after a win
>>57045945Wiggly ex and Dugtrio
>>57045954are you running a meme articuno18 deck? starmie ex+articuno is very powerful and if you don't have that, you could try articuno+greninja which has good synergy.
>>57044981>Umbreon EX>150 HP>Power: Moonlight>Once per turn before you attack, put a Dark Energy on a Dark type you control>Bite>D 50>Dark Pulse>DDC 80>Flip a Coin. if heads, the defending Pokemon is now Paralyzed.
I have several decks but I am going to be leaning on Pikachu and Koga for the 5 in a row. I'm not going to throw my Game 5 away to bad coin flips or delayed Stage 2 assembly.
>>57045971I use a copypaste Starmie+Articuno deck, but every now and then I get a lone staru with no support or just get insta-killed by Kanga
>>57045972>flat out better than wiggly ex in every way
>>57045972Drop 1 attack and its plausible
>>57045972>energy building ability AND coinflip for paralysisyou can get one or the other, not both. unless you give it 50hp and 40 damage attack there's no way that won't be the strongest card in the game.
>>57045873
>>57045972>Umbreon EX>180 HP>Power: Moonlight>Once per turn, you may heal 20 HP from Umbreon>DDD Foul Play>Use one of the opponent's active Pokemon's attacks against itself
>>57044305Alakazam + Greninja
How's it look, Doc?
>>57045945Considering everyone and their moms play Misty cancer water types online, you'd be better off actually running a Pikachu deck
Red card players have the lowest testosterone FACTS
>>57046021Looks like autism, but I can respect it.What's your favorite deck?What's your strongest deck?Which deck gets you the most wins (by percentage)?
>>57046037I thought those were blue card players
>>57045988>>57045983>>57045978Better?
>>57045464>weight engineeringsugoireminds me of the old Clash of Clans days>>57045792No, and they explicitly said it wouldn't be at worlds competitively iirc
>>57045997Now this is plausible.
>>57046046>already MASSIVELY power creeping Pikachu EX>more HP>more damage on the "same" attack>also an ability that generates energy; literally the most powerful effect in PTCGP
>>57046037They help me more than hurt me. The average player iq in this game is too low to run red card. When I for example am playing Pikachu ex and have no Pokémon on my bench and five cards in my hand, why in the world would my opponent red card me? But they do. A LOT.
>>57046046I'd change beat up to flip coins per bench pokemon like OG sneasel beat up had.
>>57045767>poison is cured when you retreatwhat a dog shit status condition
Alright bros what are you sitting at
>>57046109
>>57046109289 myself
>>57046109151, just started saving them after getting mew
Just missed my 8th moltres wonder pick in a row. I'm at around 300 card buy points so I'm far more likely to buy it in 2 weeks at this point.
>>57046109240, +20 from the event today (10 participates ftw)
>>57046109only started a couple weeks ago but I feel like I can't save much when I'm missing so many crucial cardsI still try and keep 60 at all times for a rainy day
>>57046109thinking of using some to synch up my timers again.
>>5704610974, I've got enough for 6 WHOLE packs! Wow!!!!
>owned cards in profile is 995>owned cards when I receive a new card is 1074What's going on here? Do promos not count or something?
Been playing forever0 crowns 0 3 stars0 2 starsA few 1 starsKill me
>>57046109147. I've been religiously saving 120, but using any excess to accelerate packs. I'll probably be saving everything from now till the miniset and see how worth it it is to spend then. Being 6 away from Mew has me antsy to rip the fuckers open.
>>57046222flairing kills cards
How long is forever? Total card count?
>>57046228Then its a bug that the card list never accounts for the lost cards
>>57046225This is me but I do have one two star. Just one.
>>57046225Playing F2P for about a month1 crown5 2 stars9 1 stars
>>57046235The games fucking rigged. If i pick a pack to open for a week straight i get nothing but dupes but if i change to a different pack i immediately get 1 new card
>>57046225Should have restarted after the 120 hourglasses if you didn't have at least 3 lf those. They don't appear often.
>>57046175From the event?
>>57046245I only just got my second Sabrina today. I still have zero Giovanni. Even my common luck is shit. Arcanine is the only EX I have two of and I got one for free.
>>57046249He's counting his chickens early. There's a Versus battle event after the reset.
>i cant get a second EX>"lmao just stick to one pack bro">i dont have the commons i need>"lmao are you not even opening the other packs? those are common, just open them"Fuck you.
>>57046230yeah, just counting my chickens earlyreset today gives us a new pvp event: https://ptcgp.raenonx.cc/en/battle/pvp-emblem/2
>>57046262I can't win 1 battle how am I supposed to win 5?
>>57045385I don’t think this is the case because I tend to get very sweaty opponents even when running absolute meme decks. My first deck was Pikachu, and I’m fairly experienced with trading card games. Wouldn’t surprise me if the game was giving me more difficult matchmaking.
>>57046261I spent 2 weeks trying to get caterpie when i already had 6 butterfrees from the event. I ended up having to pay pack points for 2 of them. Its been a month and i still haven't gotten a caterpie yet. Pull rates don't make any fucking sense
>>57046267ima just concede 10 times in a row for the hourglasses tb h
>>57046267It’s likely going to be complete cancer for most of us. There’s a reason the win streak is capped at a (seemingly) low 5.
>>57046262oh no no no no it's already here???time to suffer I guess
>>57046233when you open a pack, the number is the historical record. This matters for when the game drops you the cute screen with a pokemon fact. The one in your collection is your current number of cards. There's no bug.
I can officially now make a meta Pikachu deck.
>>57046178Zamn brother. One of the very few with any self control in this general
>>57046287>hourglasses for losing What do you mean?
>>57046321participation reward
>>57046318In a general where players have alt accounts and reset dozens of times for a perfect start
>>57046326I dont remember getting a reward for the 50 vs battles
What deck has the maximum possible number of interactions which reset the in game timer? I want to stall as much as possible.
>>57046109199 hourglasses with 72 gold.
>>57046318This general tells me to stop crying about not having the cards I need if I haven't spent my hourglasses. Then I spend my hourglasses and don't get what I need anyway.
>>57046262This event is so stupidDo they not play their own game?
>>57046341there was, you only had to concede 10 times
>>57046345>want to stall as much as possible.Im using weezing+wigglytuff ex
How do I remove the welfare mark?
>>57046385I considered that but given the way it seems matchmaking works, I think it looks at deck value so I don't want to include an ex.
>>57046388lollmao
>>57046341it was there, you just probably didn't notice45 wins was for the emblem, 50 wins was for the dust
>>57046267just go 2nd bro
>>57045275 (Me)>open free pack>nothing like always>decide to go for just another 1, since I'm saving hourglasses>by a miracle I pull a second Starmie EX>put it together with Greninja>easily win 5 in a rowNow I'm ready
>>57046262>reset todayFinally something to do
>managed to get a playset of all the promos in the toad event last nightFucking finally. Now I can gamble on the advanced difficulty for the last mission without worries.
5 wins in a row is going to feed into the toxic side of everyone playing this gamei can't wait for every oponent to stall the timer once they're losing
>>57046436Why were you not running the highest difficulty already?
>>57046440This has all the markings of an event that will never be repeated
>>57046440>once they're losingMy friend, I will be stalling from the very first second
Sleeping is just a time machine to free packs my dudes
>>57046441Maybe he hasn't realized losing costs you nothing but time. They don't exactly explain how any of that works
>>57046440Wiggly-Bird is going to make this hilarious
Want 5 wins in a row? Just play mixty starmie or blaine
>>57046441>>57046452I was, until I got all the playsets. I already have every single other mission done, including the expert "Win 20" ones, but I wasn't gonna risk not getting a pack until I got at least 2 of each befre going back for the "Win 5".
>>57046468Oh I getcha, I forgot advanced meant second highest
My skin is going to invert from sheer cringe when I open>4x non-Oak/Pokeball Supporter/Item cards>1x Basicon the 4th or 5th games in the streakAllah send me strength
unfriending all peopl who dont have the 5 consecutive win emblem
>>57046508Same. Unless they're whales with like 30+ level.
>>57046515Whales are over 40, 30 are people who pvp a lot.
>>57046109542. Not planning on spending it all on the mini set unless I get really unlucky with the cards I want from it
>>57046521>30 are people who pvp a lot.Then they'll have gotten the 5 consecutive wins anyway. Besides, 30+ is whale enough for me.
>>57046492It’s not as hard to string together 5 as people think and it’s a long event but yeah that will happen to people. It can be hard to bounce back from though so just don’t play tilted or bring a deck that doesn’t brick often like Pika
You're more likely to get fucked by the coin flip at the start than your opening hand
>>57046548Nah you just gotta lock in when you go first, always bring double sab for this reason
>>57046542>and it's a long eventIt only lasts a week. I don't really consider that long. If it were a month I'd say ok at least toward the end there'd be an easier time to put the wins together after the tryhards clear out.
I just beat the nido deck on hard because the AI was too retarded and decided to invest first on nidoking instead of nidoqueen and both got raped by sandlash from the basic deck
holy shit hell no give the 45 wis instead
5 wins in a row, huh...I'm about to commit 5 sins in a row...
REALLYNeed the second bulba..

>>57046109>Alright bros what are you sitting at203. Waiting for new cards to pull since I got a Charizard/Moltres deck and a could good mid level decks.Been using my free pulls to try and get a Pikachu/Zapdos deck but I'm drawing dead for fucking weeks here.
>>57046109I blew all 200+ mine on pika packs. Got second Arcanine EX and cute full art Wiggly EX. I'm happy.
>>57046109169 because I splurged twice, but at least those splurges amounted to something I cared about in the end
Be real bros, do any of you actually think you can get 5 wins? Im gonna use my arcanine charizard deck because I think thats the best in the game overall atm, aside from jewtwo. Whats stopping me from just randonly losing to sleep memes?
>>57046646
>>57046729>do any of you actually think you can get 5 wins?Fuck no, I'm not even going to bother.
>>57046729I just did 6 in a row, so yeah.
>>57046729yeah it's just 5 wins? even with all the randomness in the game it's very achievable. the question is whether I can do it with an off meta deck or will I need to use pika EX
>>57046729>Be real bros, do any of you actually think you can get 5 wins?There will definitely be people that pull it off because luck will always be a thing. I'm going to try in the hopes that it's a one-time thing. If they make it a recurring thing, I am not going to bother with it in the future because that's just obnoxiously cancerous and shows the devs are grossly out of touch with their game.
Arbok/Wiggers is a viable deck
>>57046747Where can I see the deck?
>>57046748
>>57046740>I just did 6 in a row, so yeah.in a queue where there was no pressure to do so
>>57046747It's an Arbok+Weezing deck with Wiggly instead of Muk. Wiggly>Muk so no wonder it performs better.
>>57046758there were plenty of people running retarded decks in the queue for 45 wins, this one will be just as easy.
>>57046753>no weezing>no giovanniI hate this game.
>>57046765I think in most koga decks people don't bother with muk. It's just opting for more coinflips with wiggly over support cards.
>>57046771Right there with you. I honestly don't know how I was lucky enough to pull the cards for a Charizard deck.
>>57046774Yeah Dark lacks big hitters, and while Wiggly is not a big hitter, that sleep can secure some 80+80 on fat EXes.
>>57046767>this one will be just asbecause there was no pressure to win consecutively in that one either, the game is so RNG-filled that you're bound to win some games, so you could play whatever decks you wanted as long as you didn't care about the speed of your 45th winfor 5 wins in a row there will guaranteed be players that may start off with silly decks but then realize the task at hand and either resort to more meta decks or quit entirely, in either case reducing the number of silly decks you can farm wins from

>>57046798They already have two different events going on. The Wonder pull event and the solo battle event.At least one of those will have to end before they release a new set.
>>57044305Dragonite feat. non-EX Articuno and Misty is the most fun I've had in this game.

>someone posts a deck>"this is fun">check my card list>i cant make it>repeatEvery time this happens I get a little closer to uninstalling.
>>57046818the most fun deck is the one you build with what you have, to make it your own
>>57046798next week
>>57046818make an alt and reroll bro, trading is coming soon anyway>>57046836>first deck was blastoise+lapras because those were the only EX's I had>it sucked assyeah nah. The most fun deck is one that actually works
>>57044305I'm in love with Pidgeot right now.It's scored some really good wins.Have two decks with it. A Dragonite and a Melmetal Deck.If I go second I build Dragonite and Melmetal.If I go first I go right into Pidgey and Pidgeotto.If card draw albeit wills it.But over all I have fun with them.
>>57046818Look through your collection.Look for either final evolutions or ex's you have two of.Then look through this list https://www.pokemonmeta.com/top-decks to see if there's anything you can make a deck of.If there's absolutely nothing you can make a deck of, make a discount deck.Again, look for a 2 stage evolution you have 2 each of and look for a1 stage evolution of the type type you have 2 each of. Then fill the rest with items and supporter cards.once you have a good mid range deck, use those to clear out the single player missions, use the hourglasses you get to try and finish a deck you're close to finishing.
>>57046836The most fun deck is the one I'll build after dropping gallons to whichever one of Whitney/Jasmine/Clair I get the FA first when the new set comes.
>>57046836
>>57046858>t. Pachirisu
>>57046818this, some anons post here just use machamp ex or dragonite bro, while I have 479 cards and still nothing
>>57046864I was there.
>>57046642I mean, most promos change nothing, but Mankey and Jiggly are legit the only thing making those mons usable so those at least will have some trading value for latefags. Hope you're stocked up on those.
>there are people that aren't auto conceding to tank their elo in preparation for the event>there are people that don't believe the game has an elo based matchmaking system Top jej
>>57046818i exclusively use wonder picking to help make decks, i spend them more on 2/3 diamonds than anything else

>>57046989What's really gonna drive them nuts is one day this game will sunset and all those cards will disappear with nothing to show for it.
I already have most of the cards I care about from Genetic Apex (as F2P) and trading isn't even out yet. The remaining cards I want are regular WP occurrence cards like FA Dragonite so I'll probably have everything I want by then. It's such a waste that it's coming so late.
>>57047001I bought a build and battle box of surging sparks after playing this game and wanting to try cards again for $30 and didn't get anything I really liked but at least I still have the cards.
>>57046926>FA IridiaI need
Miniset leaks WHEN
I guess if you threatened to shove this thing up my ass, I'd run away in a hurry too
>>57047003>I bought a build and battle box of surging sparks after playing this game and wanting to try cards again for $30 and didn't get anything I really liked but at least I still have the cards.I started playing this game around base set (when shit calmed down enough that i could actually find the cards). I played through the fourth(?) expansion before I was priced out of the game. I still have all those cards buried in a tote somewhere. This game is fun but I'm never going to spend a real penny on it because this game will disappear one day and that would be a complete waste og money.
>>57047017If it were simply a threat you wouldn't have to discard it after
>>57046851>ex's you have two of.Nope.>>57046851>Then look through this list https://www.pokemonmeta.com/top-decks to see if there's anything you can make a deck of.Nope.
>>57047017Makes you look at X Defense a whole nother way.
>>57046957>>57046969Pachirisu was not picked because he liked it. It fulfilled a specific meta niche that he needed on his team, he didn't give a fuck about the squirrel before this
>>57046818What cards DO you have? Can we see your list of all EX cards and Stage 2?
>>57047028You don't have 2 each of a 2 stage evolution?You don't have 2 each of a 1 stage evolution of the same type?If you've been playing for a week or two there's gotta be some cards you can make a deck out of.
>>57047033I would have to show you everything, not just the stage 2's. The stage 2's are irrelevant if you don't have the stage 1's and basics to go with them. And some decks don't work at all without trainers either.>>57047037For every deck I've ever seen posted here I'm usually missing one of something. So I might have one thing or not the other. Like for Blaine, I only have one Ninetails.
>>57047049If you can show us relevant Stage2's and EXs, even if you're missing the precursors, we can say "okay, make sure you only pull X pack and you should finish this deck soon".That said the first deck I ran was a literally singleton water deck, with 1x squirtwarblastoise, 1 starmie EX, one lapras EX, and then just whatever the fuck I could fit in it, and I made it work.
>>57047057I don't really need to post what I have to know where to get what I'm missing, I can just look that up. I don't think it even matters because if I get lucky with any of the three packs I can play something. That and I'm getting close to being able to pack point an EX.
>>57047049...a good strategy is to do a two stage evolution and a 1 stage evolution with supporter and item cards.if you don't have all the same type, you can use colorless to replace either set of evolutions.Also, how many pack points do you have? This might justify spending 25 or 75 points to finish a deck.
>>57046957This >>57047032Pachirisu only became his favorite (or even a mon he liked) AFTER his anti-meta strat won him that champiomship. Granted it is his favorite now, and he has sabotaged his chances at going further in the latest tournaments by continuing to bring it, so he is a true Karenfag these days. Just not a winning one.
>>57047032He obviously also liked it. I can tell you that Lanturn in Gen 6 OU fulfills a specific meta niche of countering Rotom-W and Talonflame but just because it has that going for it doesn't mean I couldn't have just changed around my composition to account for threats through a different spread of teammates, e.g. Clefable for Rotom-W and Heatran for Talonflame, both of which were way more standardized. You don't arrive at the obscure Pokemon without having a soft spot for wanting to make it work in the first place, and figuring out what it does do best.
>>57047069>he's pulling from the three packs randomly, wonderpicking for shitty random FA without thinking about what he needs, and is planning to waste pack points on an EX NGMI
>>57047069>I don't really need to post what I have to know where to get what I'm missing, I can just look that up. I don't think it even matters because if I get lucky with any of the three packs I can play something. That and I'm getting close to being able to pack point an EX.Also, even if you don't have an EX, you can do a non-ex version of the deck, like pic related. Or if you're only missing one card out of a deck, replace it with a Kang or Tauros.
>>57047085Taking this general's retarded advice, such as yours, is exactly why I don't have a deck right now.>>57047088That kind of deck is exactly what I'm running. Not that deck, but similar concept. Also I don't have any Kangs. Thank god for Farfetch'd.
>>57047082Reminds me of the time my Lanturn got walled by Substitute Toxic priority Roost TalonfagOld Gale Wings was a fucking mistake
>>57047082The specific niche he was taking advantage of was follow me. Even if it was the one he liked most it was only a choice between 4 Pokemon that tournament, and Pachirisu was arguably the best choice.
>>57047109NTA and agreed but Togetic and Kiss seem better, unless they weren't available at the time.
>>57047098>That kind of deck is exactly what I'm running. Not that deck, but similar concept. Also I don't have any Kangs. Thank god for Farfetch'd.yeah once you get a little deep into the game you can see that the best meta decks are based off of the elite decks the computer plays (just slimlined and played better). then the mid range decks are based off those meta decks, just with less rare components. It's all about stepping up. Pic related was the first deck I was able to build and I really fucked up my pulls early on. This deck got me far enough into the game that I was able to focus on a specific set and pull a charizard/moltres deck that served me well enough until I could build other decks. But I'd highly recommend sticking to one pack type and only opening those until you can afford to be a little more lenient.
>>57047130>But I'd highly recommend sticking to one pack type and only opening those until you can afford to be a little more lenient.I could probably afford to do that now, but that advice was really fucking awful early on and I wish I never fell for that, because it meant I was severely lacking in a ton of common needed cards, especially trainers. Now that I'm actually getting closer to having most of the commons and trainers I need (I still have zero giovanni and some important common basics), I'll actually start doing this, but only after I'm at that point where I just need 1 or 2 rarer cards from that pack to finish a deck.
>>57047125They weren't, only Kalos dex pokemon were allowed.
>>57047105Well I had Heal Bell on mine since opponents were often misled into overinvesting/taking damage in order to drop a burn/status that I could just undo later on. But I do remember Stallonflame being annoying just for the sake of the PP stalling. You had to be sure to Scald instead of Volt Switch when you saw Leftovers.>>57047109I'm aware it was for Follow Me over Rage Powder. In the same way, Lanturn has its own set of advantages which was part of why I used it for the example. It shuts down Volt Switch where Clefable wouldn't. You're still taking a gamble on that composition on behalf of the specific mon, which is to say you care enough about its incorporation to build around what it offers.
>>57047156Yeah, makes sense. The only other mons were like Lucario and Furret right?
>>57047166And the obligatory Smeargle, yeah
I'm not really familiar with the TCG but could Pokemon cards come out with abilities that activate from the hand? Or can abilities only ever work on the field?
>>57047159He picked it because it worked with the Gyarados he was using
>>57047187>but could Pokemon cards come out with abilities that activate from the hand?It happened once, hopefully it never ever happens again.
>>57047188It doesn't even fully do that considering the combination gets bypassed by Discharge anyway.
>>57046771I have 2x FA weezing, but only 1 koffing and no giovanni
>>57047152>could probably afford to do that now, but that advice was really fucking awful early on and I wish I never fell for thatYou're a retard lol.
>>57047257Yeah, for falling for your retarded meme.
Losing faith that I'll ever see anon's godpack. I've never seen a godpack before.
>>57047269They expire after 3 days.
>>57047281Has it already been 3 days since he pulled it?
>>57047281I am aware.
>>57047281Is there proof they expire at that point or is it just that no one has seen them after the 3rd day?
>>57047296There is a discord for godpacks and this is something that has long been determined.
>>57047288I pulled the pack December 7th at 4:30AM EST
Fuck it I'm just gonna concede if I flip head
>>57047303Yeah I know, I'm in it too, but some stuff is only based on just collected data from users meanwhile other stuff has hard proof where they've actually used tools to look inside the game.
>>57047313based marowakchad feeling sorry for opponents
>>57047317>I'm in it tooI'm not in it though. I'm not a discord person. I just saw the chinese guy's youtube videos posted here.
>>57047259Nearly every top deck comes from a single pack. All of these trainers are things you could have just used pack points on. There's no reason to even argue with a retard like you. It worked for everyone else.
>Venu EX does 20 more damage than normal blastoise>Blastoise EX does 20 more damage than normal Blastoise>Charizard EX does 50 more damage than normal CharizardWhy is this? If the pattern was maintained Charizard EX would still 1shot almost everything, just not the other EX stage2s
>>57047338charizard favoritism as usual
>>57047325He makes new videos constantly with adjustments or addendums to what he's said before, so there's only a science to certain things and the rest is just crowdsourced. For instance, he said based on user feedback that about 10% of 2 star pack pulls make it to WP but according to some tool that the number may really be closer to 23%. If people are underreporting the survival rate of 2 star packs making it to WP, that's why I'd be curious if they actually know the length of how long it can be hidden in the WP feed for, since maybe they're just reporting it as not appearing too soon.
>>57047344Yeah I guess so, but 170 would still 1shot Venu, which Venu doesn't 1shot Blastoise but it outheals it's damage, and Blastoise would 1shot Charizard. Hell, Charizard + Gio would still 1-shot almost literally everything
>>57047152>but that advice was really fucking awful early onI rerolled for Mewtwo EX and Pikachu EX, and that was the advice you were supposed to follow, anon. The entire deck all comes from the same pack, then you just pack point the sabrinas or whatever.
>>57047338>>57047344You've gotta be baiting. Charizard is the pack mascot. Venusaur and Blastoise are not. There wasn't going to be a pattern there.
really liking the Alakazam Greninja combination
>>57047365Does it actually work? I can't imagine two different lines of stage 2s being a functional deck.
>>57047365I'm assuming you run some kind of tank or wall? Like a jynx or some shit?
Push me to the HeadAll my friends are dead
>fwwoooeee->THUD!
>>57047368Greninja is really cheap and the first 2 stages use colorless, it only needs 2 energies in the stage 2 and just 1 water energy. Alakazam only needs 1 psychic, abra can swap itself with kang without losing tempo.>>57047375My tank is kang, 1 energy and bulky enough. I just run 1. Full playset of the two lines. Once Greninja is stablished, Alakazam is virtually hitting 80/100 + the effect boost. Greninja is more of the main attacker with Alakazam taking game more often than not. Greninja is also very cheap to retire.
Beating Waterniggers with Dragonite just because their bitch gives them bad RNG feels so good.
If my next pull sucks I will post Wobbuffet
hey, did you guys knew that if you slide the main screen from left to right it opens your designated showcases? lmao they never explained the cool UX details.
>>57047399https://youtu.be/HWRUYc_S3FE?si=l73VCOX8sWNuIK0g
>>57047335>>57047357You dumbasses are missing the part where I did follow this advice, blew all my hourglasses, and DIDNT get the EXes needed to make decks, leaving me stuck without being able to make those decks AND not having the commons needed to make anything else, like mid-tier decks, on top of that. Its a stupid all or nothing strategy that doesn't work unless you get lucky.>DURR ACTUALLY YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO REROLL LMAOThanks for proving my point you fucking retards.
>2x FA Charizard EX>2x FA Moltres EX>2x FA Charmander>2x ...CharmeleonBoggles my mind they chose FA Gloom as a standalone FA in its line over Charmeleon, what were they thinking
>>57047402Found this out by accident>>57047407Just get a nice flair, nerd.
>>57047406>You dumbasses>fucking retardsYou're the one who is bitching that he didn't reroll in a gacha game, dumbass retard.
>>57047393I had the weirdest and possibly my most memorable match against a Dragon deck where their Dnite successfully set up with much trouble and Draco'd me, but none of my mons died because I made sure to evolve them and stack my bench.I kill Dnite and it ends with his Frosmoths rolling for sleep to finish me while our decks were both drawn out, 26 turns I think.
>>57047413You're the retard that moved the goalpost because you know your advice was retarded in the first place. I'm sure pulling only one pack works perfectly fine if you reroll, and only if you reroll.
one left..hopefully when i get to 1250 pack points ive already wonder picked a brock so that I can get that second rainbow wiggly ive been wanting.
>>57047412>Just get a nice flair, nerd.Flair doesn't stretch the art to the whole card or I would, that'd just be coping
>>57047418>You're the retard that moved the goalpost because you know your advice was retarded in the first place.What goalpost did I move? What advice did I give? I said that I followed the advice when I rerolled, and it worked. You didn't follow the advice, and you're bitching that you can't make the meta decks. How are you not understanding this?
>>57047426>retard can't read the reply chain
>>57047406You're the only retard here who can't make a single deck. Everyone else did it. Why couldn't you? Did you use your wonder picks? Did you craft? Fucking retard. kys.
I like the snowflake display board, I paired it with a full art water ex :)
>>57047422My overall pack points so far is just 530
>>57047432>You're the only retard here who can't make a single deck.No, I'm not. But you know that. You're doing this on purpose because you think being retarded is funny.
>>57047415The best matches are always against casual decks.
>>57047437Who else here can't make a single fucking deck? I have 20 decks.
>>57047430I read the reply chain, anon. You just can't seem to understand that (You) have been the retard the entire time. You're complaining, and no one else is, because they rerolled for Mewtwo or Pikachu, rolling from the same pack and using pack points on whatever else they need. You didn't do that, and you're the one bitching now. You better be a troll, and if you're not a troll then you better be a zoomer, because if you're not troll and you're not a zoomer, then you're the most retarded person I've ever seen complain about something.
>>57047392Your deck sounds like a red card nightmare man
>>57047444>"hurr durr you're a troll">they say, as they blatantly lie about shit posted in this very threadOkay you're right, I'm retarded. I thought you were arguing in good faith, but you've just been baiting me the whole time. I'm a dumbass for thinking any of these posts were genuine, and seriously replying. Congrats, you got me.
>>57047444Eh I don't think everyone rerolled for a good start. I didn't. But I also didn't stick to one pack because that never made sense to me. The less cards left to pull means the more likely you are to pull a bunch of duplicates and just waste a pack. Once you've pulled the common cards then it makes sense to focus, and by then you can already build some decent decks.
>>57047453Most common cards are absolutely fucking garbage and "wanting to not waste a pack" opens yourself up to being a jack of all trades and decklist of none, the only thing that matters is pulling playsets of the good cards.
>>57047444>>57047437I never rerolled. Not a single time. I think it's a waste of time to reroll. I pulled from the same pack while using wonder pick to go for the Ex cards I needed. Then crafted any support cards or other missing cards. If you can't make a deck after fucking months you are a fucking retard.
>>57047483>using wonder pick to go for the Ex cards I needed>If you can't make a deck after fucking months you are a fucking retardSo being unlucky makes you a retard? Also>monthsThe game has been out for 39 days.
>one hour leftAre you ready for despair?
>>57047525All of the day bro
>>57047406I also didn't reroll my account. The strat I used was I wanted immersive Pika, so I pulled Pika. Probably used my first 18 or so pulls on it. Once I started getting too many dupes (and also when I realized Bulba line was in a different pack) I switched and started haphazardly pulling the other two, still trying to focus one but giving the one a few pulls here and there.Granted, my main objective is collecting not playing, so maybe it's not the best way to go when trying for meta decks, but it's worked out alright for me.
If I don't get the 5x consecutive emblem. I will drop the game.
So anyone has a non-trolling answer on chance you go first in mirror? I assume you send out a 1-point as a scapegoat as you build to revenge kill
I got my 2nd promo Magnemite so I'm almost "done" with the event. I just need 8 more tickets for the remaining cosmetics.>>57046599 is big gay, by the way. The bonus picks are generous enough.
>>57047489>The game has been out for 39 daysThe game has been out for nearly 6 weeks. If you can't make a deck after that much time. You're a retard. A lot of us had decks within a 2 to 3 weeks. Why can't you?
>>570475556 weeks is not months (plural).
>>57047548I'm running Blaine so I send out a non ex no matter what.>>57046548I have hands I like going first and hands I like going second, and they're not the same hands. So I can't be fucked by the coin flip. It's always my opening hand's fault.
>>57047548The only Pokemon that "benefit" from going turn 1 are evolutions whose energy requirement matches their stage like Exeggutor (stage 1 = 1 energy attack) and Greninja (stage 2 = 2 energy attack) since they can evolve and attack immediately without wasting a turn. A lot of other evolutions need at least 1 extra energy to attack so they're always one energy behind when you start evolving them on turn 3
>>57047557Is 6 weeks more than one month?
>>57047572More than one, less than two. Plural requires at least two. You can say weeks, you can't say months.
>>57047548>going first in the mirrorit comes down to your card draws. If you pull sabrina early, you can get them to waste an energy switching back in whatever pokemon they wanted in the active slot. It's not that simple of course but your much more likely to get fucked by your card draw than you are by the turn order.
>>57047578Does it even matter? There are going to be new players. There's no point talking like everyone was here on launch day.
I've only got one Zap ex and one Raichu. What's the best I can do with those? I have enough Pika exs.
Deck shuffle animation needs to be faster>it's already fastNot fast enough
>>57046442GoodI'll help too
>>57047593It's not uncommon for Pikachu decks to run one Zapdos or zero Raichu.
>>57046440Does that mission give pack hourglasses or wonder hourglasses? If the latter, I can safely ignore it
>>57047595I'm more annoyed when the game has you manually switch in your benched pokemon when there's only one to choose from. some stuff like that should just happen automatically
>>57047599I know, I'm just thinking what else to fill it with. I've two sets of Electrode already, and the remaing slots are one set of Heliolisk and 2 Pincurchin. I'm probably cutting one of the Pinc for another Potion, but I'm debating keeping the Helio or not.
>>5704760215 wins gives you dust, 10 battles (win or lose) gives you pack hourglasses, and 5 wins in a row gives you an emblem.
>>57047607>emblemI can ignore it then
>>57047607How did you delete your post so quickly? They made me wait 10 minutes yesterday
>>57047445if you're red carded with this kind of deck they are most likely unclogging your hand instead, lol
>>57047604That one would force you to give info to your opponent early
I'll never complete the Expert Machamp ex Lightning restriction mission because I'm not going to pull from the PIkachu pack and the other packs' options for Electric are worthless besides maybe Heliolisk
>>57047622how? if you only have one pokemon on the bench and they kill your active slot pokemon, you will only be able to switch in that one pokemon.
>>57047623you only ever need heliolisk and zebra for that mission. It isn't hard really.
>>57047605I'd run Zebstrika over Heliolisk if you have a playset.But if you are considering Heliolisk you might also consider Magneton. Magneton is honestly a solid card even without Lt. Surge.You can get Magneton online in 2 turns (like Heliolisk), he does 60 damage (same as Heliolisk's average damage), and he retreats for 1 turn's worth of energy (like Heliolisk). He has 10 less HP but he has consistent damage. And you can get him online slower than 2 turns without committing any energy (which is phenomenal). And once he's online he effectively retreats for free (like Electrode) because he can retreat with 1 energy on him and 1 energy from his ability then replace the energy the energy that was initially on him with his ability the following turn.
>>57047628If a card instantly gets on the board you can guess the opponent doesn't have more basic cards to putdown, compared to the current situation where he may be hiding it to protect himself from SabrinaYes I know this is a reach
>>57047657oh you misunderstood me, I meant the card thats already on the board, not whatever card is in your hand.
>>57047657they didn't mean it like that. It was more like what happens with Moltres EX and single Firemon in the bench, the energy is automatically placed. A Sabrina vs a single bench should swap instantly. But matter of the fact I believe that doesnt happen because distracted people could lose unaware of what happened.
>>57047642I thought about that as well. The bench pressure is nice but I'm not too much of a fan of Surgeless Magnets.The decklist, as it stands, is:>Voltorb/Electrode x 2>Heliotile/lisk>Pincurchin>Pika ex x 2>Zap ex>Potion x 2>X Speed>Oak x 2>Sabrina x 2>GioI'm not really sure what to do with it because I'm in the awkward spot of having 3 flexible slots, which isn't enough for a stage 1 playset or cutting something like Gio, which is important for some damage thresholds.
It's not fair why am I not allowed to have promo Venusaur
>>57047668I'd just run the 2 zebras and remove helio, it wins games faster.
>>57047660>>57047666oopsin that case there's no reason for us to wait
>>57047670I'll trade you a playset for a crown each!
>>57047670I also don't have a Venusaur, but I have 25 hourglasses saved up. Hopefully I wont have to spend too many of them.
>>57047672Fair enough.I've had this deck set up since forever and basically never played with it outside of using it for solo battles, so I don't really have too much of an attachment to any of Pika's benchwarmers.
>>57047670Exactly why I keep all my event hourglassesThe game WILL try to cuck you at some point
>>57047681Oh, Helio carries solo just fine. As I mentioned above, but for Pika and playing vs people, Zebra is the option to chase.
how long until i uninstall this game?
>>57047637I'm trying but it's an absolute garbage matchup with these cards. Going first is instant concede, all I can hope for is for the CPU to brick
>>57047670this is why I hope trading is goodto not have to worry about pack rng and shit, especially not on time-limited events.
>>57047694If I give you a straight answer you do it at a different time just to call me a liar.
You have 30 minutes to get the 5 win emblem or you're an eternal shitter
All three types of event are running concurrently. There could not possibly be more to do right now.
>>57047740>be a tryhard faggot or get owned by a random anonI'm shaking in my boots, truly.
>>57047740Oh no! Anyway
>>57047740I couldn't get the 5 win emblem in 30 fucking days.
What decks are you anons gotta try to get 5 wins with? I'm gotta give it try with Dragonite.
>>57047740Fucked up that you only have a week. Last event was a month. This even should have begun last week and it should have continued until the normal ending.
>do a versus match just for the hourglasses >Nidoran team>start off with Drowzee and no Mewtwo ex or Ralts>by the time my cards give me Mewtwo, they already have Nidoqueen>Poké Ball>another Drowzee>Mewtwo dies before it gets two energies and my Drowzee from the start dies tooYeah, I'm not skilled enough for this.
>>57047765>needing to babysit for 4-5 turns>also needing to rng the right energyIt's gonna be hell for 5 consecutive wins, but I suppose you can go for it if you know how to pilot it
>>57047623Holy fuck this was awful. Ended up removing every electric except Heliolisk line and only won by red carding him before he could put up any evolutions
>>57047779>six basics in a Mewtwo deck deserved loss
>>57047765misty and articuno ex with auto battle on
>>57047791Are the Drowzee unnecessary? What do I replace them with?
>>57047740I got it. What now?
Marowak ex coming in clutch and scoring a comeback win with 2 heads is a feeling like no other
Got it with the rat deck. Don't judge!
>>57047812

4 out of 5. Wish me luck.
>>57047822Voltorb. Zapdos, Pika2 Sabrina2 Giovanni everything else standard.
What's the most consistent deck for the event? I'm thinking the rat but also Starmie + Articuno can still be consistent even when Misty whiff
