One time at a tournament, I got pulled aside from a female staff member and told I needed to shower or I would be disqualified. She was super cute so it was kind of embarrassing but she handled it delicately and besides, I have a bit of a humiliation kink. I made a pass at her, asking if she was inviting me to shower with her but in hindsight I think I misread the situation, and then things got really out of hand. Long story short, I had to register as a sex offender, but more importantly, I was blacklisted from competitive play (hence why I'm a "former" professional TCG player, my skills haven't diminished in the slightest)

Mewtwo feels so dirty sometimes
They can outdraw you initially, outplay you and still lose if they don't get their endgame combo in time.
>>
neat start

>>57055644
Mistycuno is great for it if you get good rolls
I'm also running wheezebok to bonk mewtwos

Remember consistency no longer matters so you want hard counters to popular meta decks

>>57055624
>It took me about 30 battles
I don’t think that’s very bad. I got mine somewhere between 20-25 games with a ~70% win rate. The event is completely reliant on luck, and I’m sure someone out there is still getting fucked raw despite playing well.

You could build a sleep deck with Hypno, Frosmoth, Jiggly promo/EX if you have one

>>57055647
>They can outdraw you initially, [...] they don't get their endgame combo in time.
Then they didn't outdraw you.
>outplay you
I've played Mewtwo and there's not much room to outplay anyone. The deck plays itself.
The only decision you have to make is when to abandon or retreat your active Pokemon. And that's a decision your opponent imposes on you.
Once Gardevoir is online you have a lot more flexibility with retreating but once Gardevoir is online you've already won so it rarely matters.

>>57055650
>I’m sure someone out there is still getting fucked raw despite playing well.
They'll get it eventually. Plenty of people aren't playing well and I'm sure some they're never going to get it.
My winstreak was 1 unlucky opponent and 4 bad opponents. What are my bad opponents supposed to do to climb up, run in to 5 unlucky opponents?

Luckily I did it in about 15. What helped me was mentally recalibrating to imagine it was a 'win 100 battles' event and that statistically I would get a 5 streak sometime by the end of the week. Made the entire thing pretty much stress-free, was shocked I got it so fast.

It’s really not, compared to Mewtwo at least. The early game blowouts just make it seem brainless, and to be fair, those games usually are kek.
>Weezing/Koga decks piss me off more
I hate how boring Mewtwo decks can be to play against, but Weezing is some multiple of that. Very underhated card.

Its that or concede. I'm not hating on it but its one strategy, one gamplan, and you do it every time. Can't say its much better than Mewtwo except its more accessible to players, so its a deck of the people.

>>57055746
You’re massively oversimplifying it. Pika’s reliance on extra basics complicates the gameplan both in making it more difficult to open with Pika and in altering your path towards a win con (key chips with Zeb, positioning a Raichu, pincurchin flips, etc.). The best Mewtwo strats really don’t have anything comparable.

Again, I’m not saying it’s *that* difficult. It’s just a bit more complicated than people give it credit for. Certainly a bit more complicated than the average pocket deck.

Middle stages need a boost. Pokeball that lets you search for a basic of stage 1 would be nice. Also, if you have 2 sets of EggsEx, run that instead

>>57055892
drop one potion and meowth for pokeballs. reducing the number of basics will improve your odds at getting petlil/bulbasaur in your opening hand and being able to directly tutor your basics instead of randomly pulling cards like with meowth is more valuable.

As much as I love Lilligant she's too slow for her to be useful. Use Kanga/Egg EX for tanking while building Venu.

Ditch Meowth and a Sab for 2 Poke Balls so you can draw faster and find important pieces, then replace the Petilil line with Eggs. Eggy carries the early game while Venu builds on the bench, gg ez.

the difference in it's damage isn't that significant, true, but I think the jump from 160 to 190 hp makes a big difference. It puts you out of range of getting OHKO'd by meta threats like EX marowak or mewtwo+giovanni. You want EX venu more for the survivability, and extra 3 energy attack more than you want it for the extra 20 damage on it's 4 energy attack.
>>
>>57055965
If it only needed 3 energy for its attack then sure you could argue it has its perks over ex but nope the ex is a direct upgrade over the original here

victreebel seems way too low damage to take advantage of it's ability, and it's difficult to get venusaur online at the same time so you could actually do some damage when most other decks are hitting for more than 100 normally. I'm curious why you think cloyster or fearow are slept on

>>57056002
Coin flipping sucks but Egg EX is good because it can usually afford to miss some and it gets access to the best healer in the game. The early game pressure it generates helps you set up Venu in the back too. Some people also run a 3rd basic Egg to increase the odds of getting one to start with since the deck lacks fat basics, might be worth doing if you feel like it helps against bricks

Zebstrika is probably the best partner in PikaEX decks, it made me win several of the matches I played, especially mirror matches since you can bring an opponent's PikaEX down from 120 > 90 straight to kill range from safety. It's also a really good finisher for when they switch out trying to avoid losing a pokemon.
>>
>>57056007
Look I know this argument has been going on for multiple threads but it’s not so black and white. A player (GOOB) won the Pocket League tour a while back undefeated using Pika while he literally spent the entire top cut arguing with Ursiiday’s orbiters on discord and still won easily. Pika has more options to consider but that also works to its benefits when you misplay or draw badly; it’s harder to play a winning game with Mewtwo but harder to play a perfect game with Pikachu
>>
>>57056051
if you're the guy who posted earlier, you should have two copies of jiggly/wiggly in your deck to prevent bricking. If you only have one of each, I'd reccomend looking for other cards to make a deck with greninja.

If your boyfriend won playing Pika instead of Mewtwo, he's not even part of the fossil/babym2 conversation, so there's no reason to bring him up unless you wanna talk about how Pika has more lines to consider than Mewtwo, which is another thing that fossilfag (professional TCG player btw) realized much later than everyone else.

There is lots of truth here, so I should try to be clearer. Pikachu is much more forgiving of mistakes than Mewtwo. Pikachu usually won't make game-altering decisions because how to sequence ball/oak in the first 2 of their energied turns.

Zeb is good, but the prevalence of potion makes him kind of a dud in most Mewtwo games. Not saying it can’t work. Only that your odds aren’t great.

One of the problems with the Pika deck, in general, is that there isn’t a clear winner in terms of the basics you should bring. There are a few decent options that all have a “it depends” scenario for why you would or would not run them.

>>
>>57056139
>Pretty sure you think you’re talking to me
There are multiple people who have played both Pikachu and Mewtwo and are able to realize that Pikachu is more complicated. That's not saying much, because this is a baby's RNG coinflip card game, but it's still more complicated than Mewtwo is. The longer the game is out, the more people gain access to both decks, the more people realize the truth.
>>
>>57056190
instead of redcard people have started running normal mewtwo as a meatshield/back up plan. having an extra basic that you can sacrifice while building up ex mewtwo is good because it helps keep ex mewtwo alive, and you can actually lose two pokemon without losing the game.

Pika ran the most consistently for me, and it at least beats Starmie/Articuno decks. You'll go 60/40 against Mewtwo/Charizard and pray you don't get a bad draw if you go against a stray fighting deck
>>
Anyone using primeape?
>>
>>57056238
>You'll go 60/40 against Mewtwo/Charizard
If you can't kill them before they get Gardevoir or Charizard/Arcanine online, then you insta lose. I think at best it's a 50/50 for Pika, against both decks, especially now that Charizard is also running Arcanines specifically as another out against Pikachu.
>>
>>57056211
Pika needs more generic pieces but its flexible, Mewtwo's engine requires more specific options but its the same template and same gameplan. For that reason you could (in theory) say you have to think more when building/piloting a Pika deck.

>>57056172
??? Pikatards say it’s ez bro go collect your free wins :-)

count cards and play very deliberately and carefully, if you go first and/or your starting hand is shit then build m2ex on your bench and have a revenge kill ready, seldom aggro with it. use babby mewtwo if you have it. the deck can brick hard and it’s hard to learn how to play out of bricks but just have the mentality of ‘how many turns do I need to stall for the find gardevoir’
>>
>>57056225
Yeah, it’s not a bad card. The deck doesn’t really need more x speeds, but they don’t hurt. Voltorb is arguably the best turn 2 lead, as well.

>Raichu
Great that it works with surge and hits for a consistent 140. Having 100 hp is nice too. Sucks that his fat ass sits around being useless for most of the game. Sucks that he chucks all of your energy into the trash. Sucks that using surge means you can’t use gio for a surprise 150.
>Pincurchin
Nice to have a “oh shit, mayday!!!!” backup plan. Sucks that it requires 2 energy.
>Zeb
Blitzle is a nice turn 1 lead. Useful in relevant meta matches (pika, water). 30 damage is kind of shit when potion is so common.

It’s fat? Low retreat is good but not unique. Damage output is decent but costs too much.

>If you can't kill them before they get Gardevoir online
They need a perfect draw vs yours, assuming you get Pika out and ready by 2 energies. Not sure on the numbers though.

If they go online you missed your draws/opening hand
>>
>>57056258
Zap is more of a free switch thanks to x speed. Lead with it, tank until setup is up, switch for game. Not many things can deplete enough HP in 2 turns vs 130 HP
>>
>>57056275
Your post is just describing the game, anon. You don't always perfect draw, and if Pika does not stomp the early game against its meta competitors, it's pretty much toast. The good thing about Pika is that is beats the Misty decks that have risen in popularity due to Charizard rising in popularity, which you did cover, but I don't think it's 60/40 against Mewtwo/Charizard. I think it's more 50/50 against them.

Weird how you guys all assume a Pika deck can draw whatever and win, while also assuming the other decks will brick. I was running a Wiggly / Greninja deck all last week. Running a stage 2 is fine if you can stall, which Mewtwo is more than capable of. Far more reliably than my fucking Wigglytuff deck kek. Payoff is better too.
>>
>>57056264
He’s playing Mewtwo though. It’s hard to fundamentally change how someone plays the game with one post on a taiwanese finger painting forum so I kept it deck-specific. Ironically there’s been other players asking for help with Mewtwo in here in the past, it’s a good way to learn how to play the game but there’s still a steep learning curve if you want to win consistently

Fair point. Hard to tell who’s stirring up shit and who’s genuine who browsing the basket weaving forum. For what it’s worth, the advice is solid. Always think several turns in advance. Know how many copies of a card you have. Consider the odds of drawing that 1 (or 2) out of the remaining # in the deck.
>>
>>57056290
>The good thing about Pika is
that you just need 2 cards to make it work. you can then cobble up any basic lightning shitters you have sitting around and your choice of available trainer cars and you're good to go.
anything beyond the 2 ex rats just helps with consistency, meanwhile every other deck requires more cards to simply exist.
>>
>>57056279
The non ex birds are actually way too strong. One retreat on a 100 HP pair of butt cheeks is so good for stalling. In the same regard, I've seen people using baby Mewtwo in the same fashion, as a 120hp tank that somehow has 2 retreat.

And in terms of zapdos in Pikachu, it has 100% come up where I get energy on zapdos and they can't deal with the 100 damage guaranteed electric attack. The other two birds might not be as good in this regard, but baby articuno has misty a least and para chance out of nowhere can't be scoffed at.
>>
>>57056290
>I think it's more 50/50 against them.
You could be right, I haven't crunched the numbers so I don't know. I also don't play Mewtwo/Charizard so I don't know how consistently they are to play, I'm just basing it on what I've seen when I've played against them. It just feels like Pika's opening is more flexible than theirs (missing Moltres, missing Kirlia), but I can't say.

>>57056293
>Weird how you guys all assume a Pika deck can draw whatever and win, while also assuming the other decks will brick.
I'm just basing that off Pika needing just basics to power up, you don't need any stage 2s (you can go Electrode/Magneton/Raichu but they aren't required like Gard/Arcanine/Charizard/etc). So if you run at least 8 basics it feels like you usually pull what you need by turn 2/3, and pokeballs/Oak seem to help you a lot more than other decks. Again, Im half-talking out of my ass, I don't play those other decks so I'm just basing this on my experience playing Pika and against those.
>>
>>57056293
bricking isn't impossible with a pika deck, but when you're running almost entirely basics and that's what the gameplan revolves around, your all but guaranteed to get a useful pokemon online since you can easily tutor for the thing you need. Decks that need stage 2 mons are much more likely to brick compared to the high damage, low energy cost basics that comprise a pika deck
>>
>>57056324
In theory loading up on basics should lower their chances to open with Pikachu Ex, but in practice it never does.
>>
>>57056327
>high damage, low energy cost basics
Who? You’re only describing Pika, itself, and that card isn’t swinging for 90 by turn 4 every game.
>>
>>57056337
it's not even that, it's that your other basics can pick up the slack if it doesn't come up
>ex zap averages 100 damage on a 3 energy attack
>zebstrika punish retreats and kill forcing the opponent to waste potions or sabrinas
>pincurchin can force paralysis coinflips to give you more time to look for pika
>>
>>57056346
>57056346
I'd argue zapdos ex averaging for 100 on a 3 energy attack is pretty good. outside of zapdos, every electric type attacks with only 1-2 energy so they generally get started faster.
>>
>>57056337
>in practice
In other words, you’re remembering your negative experiences and are biased by them. Same as me, really kek. I would guess that Pika is ready to go by turn 6/7 at least 50%, but it’s not as if the opponent is helpless (tanks, x speed, potions, sabrina, fast pokes). That’s my experience with running 7 basics, at least.

Pika also gets more weapons by virtue of just needing to fill the bench, like people are saying with Zebstrika (1 energy damage, 1 energy retreat), Electrode (no retreat cost), and all the other options. They seem to just add utility to how you can scramble against what your opponents are giving. Moltres does something similar for Charizard but its needed for the deck to actually function, same as Gard, so I feel like they're less flexible.

It’s a better marowak, so that’s…decent. You never want to rely on it, and if you invest the energy, you better pray he doesn’t fuck it up. Roll a nice 0 on turn 6, lose your Zapdos on turn 7, and now you have no energy and are down two points.
>zeb
Decent. Doesn’t really hit hard unless it’s water. The pokes are most relevant vs pikachu. Loses hard to Mewtwo. Zeb swings (ideally) on turn 3. Mewtwo immediately puts Zeb within knockout range on turn 4.
>pincurchin
Two cost attack. Coin flip. The guy can absolutely steal games, but he needs to have an energy ready before swapping in. You have nothing to worry about until turn 4 at the earliest.

>I also don't play Mewtwo/Charizard so I don't know how consistently they are to play, I'm just basing it on what I've seen when I've played against them.
I have every deck except Misty (missing 1 Articuno) and in my experience, it's pretty much all 50/50 unless you have type advantage. They can brick just as easily as you can. Pika in theory should be more difficult to brick since all your threats are basic, and your late game finisher is a stage 1, but in practice it's just as subject to bricking as all the other decks are. Keep in mind that Pikachu "bricking" can also be Mewtwo getting Gardevoir on curve, or Charizard coinflipping into "early" Charizard/Arcanine.
>>
Pikachu's more consistent now but that's in part because you've got a searcher that has a decent chance of just handing you the card you need. That's an advantage none of the other decks really have as much.

Here's your leak, SHE'S IN
>>
>>57056445
your opponent getting what they need early is not the same thing as "bricking". Even in scenario's where a mewtwo deck or arcazard deck gets their main online as fast as possible, it's still much easier for a pika deck to get two pika's or a pika+raichu/zapdos/whatever online faster then the opponent can get a second mewtwo/charizard. So even if your talking the ideal scenario for both decks, pika still comes out on top.

>So even if your talking the ideal scenario for both decks, pika still comes out on top.
No. Mewtwo and Charizard both win as soon as they are online, and Arcanine wins against Pikachu as soon as it's online. Pikachu only wins if it's online early and/or the opponent bricks. If the opponent has the god draw, Pikachu loses. It's all 50/50 without type advantage. Moltres still takes 2 turns as Pikachu to get through, and that's long enough to get Charizard or Arcanine online.

Stop talking out of your ass lmao. Easier to get a Pika online? I wouldn’t disagree. Two? A Pika and a Zap? Fucking lmao. That’s turn 8 and 9, respectively. You won’t have an endgame on board by fucking turn 9? LMAO

Also what the fuck is in your hand, faggot? Those sabrina? Use them. Potions? Use them. I like you the opponent is always bent over getting railed in your mind.

>they don't win as soon as they're online because your second pika/zap/whatever comes in and revenge kills them, and it's very unlikely that you got a second stage 2 up with the energy to kill a second mon. If you're running 6 basics, two of them pika ex, you'll have it in your hand immediately 1/3 of the time and 2 pokeballs gives you very high odds of tutoring it if you didn't start with it.
>Moltres still takes 2 turns as Pikachu to get through, and that's long enough to get Charizard or Arcanine online.
this is a very unlikely, highly idealized scenario. You need to not only start with moltres and charmander, you need to flip good coins, AND you still need to pull your stage 1 and 2 for it to actually matter. the opponent will be much more likely to start with or quickly get pika on the board, will get it online in two turns, and god help you if they have sabrina as your moltres meat shield is now worthless. Pika is much more likely to get pulled, gets online faster, and is much less likely to brick compared to charizard man, it's just math.
>>
>>57056511
>this is a very unlikely, highly idealized scenario
It's as likely a scenario as anything else, and you said:
>"even if your talking the ideal scenario for both decks, pika still comes out on top."
>>
>>57056488
pika ex only needs 2 energy and some backline shit to get online, only starmie compares to that speed and it still needs to evolve. I don't get your point, there isn't a deck that works faster, that's part of why it's the best deck in the game.
>>
>>57056421

>>
>>57056144
I quit after losing my fifth match. Running Starmie but my fifth match somehow had me drawing all my supporter and basic Pokemon and none of my evolved. So the opponent's Mewtwo demolished me.
>>
>>57056521
because even in this idealized scenario, if pika gets online as fast as possible, and charizard gets online as fast as possible, then what happens is pika hits charizard for half health, then revenge kills with the second pika. the hyper idealized scenario of getting two charizards up at once so you can kill the second pika with moltres flipping 3 heads everytime is lottery winner levels of lucky, you aren't going to see that happen almost ever.
>>
>>57056539
>then what happens is pika hits charizard for half health, then revenge kills with the second pika
No, Pikachu hits Moltres for half health or kills Moltres. If Pikachu doesn't kill Moltres, then Moltres gets switched out and Charizard kills Pikachu, takes the revenge hit, and kills whatever comes out next. You obviously don't play both decks.
>>
>>57056522
Point is that speed isn’t everything, and the deck still isn’t more consistent than 50-60% in terms of getting a Pika ready to swing for 90 by turn 5 / 6. Plenty of decks are bulky enough to play around this, assuming Pika comes online to begin with. Right now, Pika is just a better Blaine deck. If you’ve played Blaine and haven’t played Pika, imagine Blaine gets clogged up with basics that require you to consider more options / outcomes and some of your key components now give the opponent 2 points. You now understand Pika.

Not saying the deck is bad. Not saying it isn’t a contender for top deck. Not even saying it isn’t the top deck. It just isn’t much better than M2, if at all. It’s not *that* much better than Zard.
>>
I'm surprised that Gengar and exeggutor have EX versions but gyarados or the nidos don't
>>
I hope this was his 4th match kek
>>
>>57056550
The true weakness of Blaine deck is that Ninetales has low HP. Pikachu may give 2 points but it isn't as likely to get killed
>>
>>57056542
I do, but it's clearly pointless in arguing with you. you could run the numbers yourself and see how often you pull your optimal starts with these decks and how often you end up winning. Or just look at the results of any recent tournament
>>
>>57056564
Rapidash dies to 90+10 from Pikachu Giovanni too.
>>
>>57056565
>but it's clearly pointless in arguing with you
Only because you're trying to argue that Pika is 60/40 with Mewtwo/Charizard when it's all just coinflips without type advantage.
>>
>>57056522
Moltres arcanine
>>
>>57056557
I think it's safe to assume a Gyarados EX is coming eventually, just unclear how soon. Nido's desperately need one to be relevant and I'm afraid they probably won't get one due to being way less popular. It would be nice if Dena would patch and change cards, it would be easy to make nidoqueen more relevant by letting her ability work with any nidoran male evo on the back line, or having call for family pull later evo cards
>>

>>57056579
Red Gyarados Ex kino incoming in the Johto set.

>>57056564
True, but 120 hp is quite low for a card that gives two points. It becomes a liability pretty quickly if you aren’t lucky / positioning carefully. Very much a better card than ninetales, but that was the easiest comparison I could think of.
>>
>>57056576
moltres arcanine averages 3 energy in 2 turns, true, but it requires you get moltres immediately and is less consistent than pika ex which will always get online in 2 turns

120 HP and 2 retreat makes him so while you build up your Dragonite.
>>
>>57056607
the problem is that you need one of each for that deck while pika only needs 1 pika and whatever else to work. So getting started with 2 moltres or 2 growlithe leaves you stuck. pokeballs won't auto get you your arcanine, but pika has great odds of getting found by pokeball.

Show your work, anon. Doesn’t seem that much more difficult to get a Moltres and a basic on the bench than it does a Pika (in active) + full bench. If the argument is that it is harder to build up a stage 2, then I don’t think anyone is going to disagree. But considering the game gives you one of the 4 basics you’re running (Moltres / Charmander / Growlithe) and pokeball / research are floating around, it’s really not that uncommon for a turn two moltres flip to be feeding something.

Works just fine in the decks where I run 4 basics.

>Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Second Genetic Apex Emblem Event Is “Objectively Bad”

>It may not seem much, but with RNG so prevalent in the game's meta, a single coin flip can cost players the match and, therefore, their streak.It's this element of RNG that has caused disdain within the Pokemon TCG Pocket community, with a thread on the game's unofficial subreddit notching up almost 600 comments in less than 24 hours.

>JTexpo suggested that it should be "Win 5 battles before losing two," to account for RNG, an idea which was praised for being closer to the real Pokemon TCG's League Cup, while Deethreekay suggested an accumulation of five points would be the best call, where a win gave a point and a loss deducted one.

it has worked for me, in the case of greninja it is super cheap good damage, alakazam only really needs 1 psychic energy to work. This same theory can be applied to Alakazam + Exeggutor, Victreebel and other cheap multiple stage leads. Alakazam is a tempo focused deck, if you can control it, you can control the game

Tentacruel is a 110 hp pokemon with a 60 damage attack, then if the opponent stays in for the next attack technically does 70 damage with all poison ticks.
130 damage on a tanky stage1 is insane and knocks out so many pokemon. I think people are waking up to it because in this winstreak event i started seeing tentacruel / starmie EX mixes...

No. My first moltres Deck was Arcanine/centiskorch. Centiskorch is effectively bulkier as it doesn't lose health while attacking and it does deal more damage.

I wouldn't say either is a straight upgrade over the other. There are pros and cons to both. One of the drawbacks is of course you need to keep applying energy to centiskorch. What that really means is that once it's out you can't develop another threat as all of your energy per turn will have to feed the centiskorch.

Also another huge difference is that arcanine can be out a turn sooner, and once he's out, you can start feeding energy to a back up threat.

>like if i like this venasaur promo card how many copies should i aim for
Depends on what you want. These are the 4 flairs you can put on promo Venusaur.
You need at least 3 copies of a card before you can buy flairs (you can't spend the first 2).
You have to buy the flairs one-at-a-time to unlock successive flairs in the shop.

So if you want 2 of the first flair you need 4 copies (2 to wear the flairs and 2 to buy them),
if you want 2 of the second flair you need 5 copies (2 to wear, 1 to unlock, 2 to buy),
if you want 2 of the third flair you need 6 copies (2 to wear, 2 to unlock, 2 to buy),
and if you want 2 of the fourth flair you need 7 copies (2 to wear, 3 to unlock, 2 to buy).

Note that the flairs ARE NOT NECESSARILY IN THE ORDER SHOWN IN MY PICTURE.
They could be in the order 1-2-3-4, 1-3-4-2, or 1-4-2-3. It's a random order but it's the same random order for every card on your account.
Most full art cards (not the promo Venusaur) start with all flairs unlocked for purchase but the order is still "randomized".
You can take advantage of this to find out what order your Venusaur flairs will unlock in (to know how many copies you'll need).
https://ptcgp.raenonx.cc/en/flair/list

One final note: all the promo Venusaur flairs are animations, none of them are decals.
Animations are only visible in battle and you can't run more than 2 copies of a card in your deck so there is no point in buying more than 2 copies of an animation.
(e.g. you could buy more than 2 copies of a decal to show them off in a binder.)

Hi all, I played the current event with Dragonite X Eeveelutions, and autisticly tracked my results.

It took me 85 battles, of which I won 36.
Four wins were from instance concedes.
Six losses were due to an obvious misplay on my part.
None of those slowed my quest for five wins, thankfully.
Thus, if I adjust my record accordingly, 38/81 is only just shy of 50%, not bad for a deck not considered meta.

Other notes: Holy shit stage 2 decks need some evolution support. I lost at least 7-8 games solely due to pulling not a single stage 1 (Jolteon/Vaporeon/Dragonair).
17 games vs. standard Pikachu decks, of which I only won 6.
There was also a unique attempt at Pikachu + Pidgeot which obviously doesn't work because it limits the rat to 60 damage. I won that one easy.

Other meta deck performance:
10 Mewtwo/Garde fights, it looks like I only won twice, oof.
Vs. Misty ex decks (using at least one of either Starmie or Articuno):
12 battles, won 5
Of 7 Koga Battles, won 3
8 Moltres ex decks, won 4

My favorite rogue deck (and I lost to it) was one using Mienshao and Golbat to swing for 40 damage with 1 energy with super effective vs. the meta decks.
I thought it was cute, and I got wrecked for lack of any stage 1s that match.

Overall:
Pikachu and Mewtwo are the devil, but I still win sometimes.
If Dragonite wants to actually be viable vs. those meta decks, it'll need evo support and energy acceleration.
Oh, I also got screwed a few times with 7x of either water or lightning energy in a row.

You wouldn't notice it on a global scale. She's more popular within Japan, and Pocket is a Japan-based game. The same company also pandered around Erika for their previous Pokemon gacha game.

It wouldn't help you set up at the beginning, but would allow you to come back after an unfortunate KO, and ease up a bit with managing energy types.

Not really
Both have an okay amount of alts (2) but don't get cared about much
If anything Misty is the favourite one in Masters as they make sure you got her by inserting her in your team early
>>
Why do some god packs never go live?
>>
>>57057126
If you do that more often than not you will be sitting around waiting with maximum stamina. At the least it is good to prioritize wonder picks with a two out of five chance of giving you something nice. The three diamond rares are the hardest to collect and will likely be the last Pokémon you need for Mew so prioritizing chasing those is smart.
>>
>>57057248

>>
>>57057248
The working theory is that god packs are suppressed from showing up in wonder picks. And any God pack with a three star or crown are completely out of the question.

when rush duel (the simpler ygo) released one of the earliest decks printed was one that won by healing a lot. You could deck out before managing to win vs it. It is the same principle here more or less.

I rotated through all the meta decks. Mewtwo then Pika then Charizard then Misty then some random jank, then I realized I had 2 Venusaurs and 2 Exeggutors, I had to buy an Exeggcute, got a 4 win streak with Vena but Vena wasn't doing anything for me, so I switched to Wiggly but I only have 1 Wiggly. This seemed to finally put me in the shitter queue. I played 2 Charizards that bricked, 1 Misty that bricked, and 2 random piles, like one was a psychic electric deck that ran Snorlax and Eevee/Jolteon and Pikachu EX. I never saw such jank until I queued with this deck.

Start second and evolve on the curve.

Always cute when the algorithm gets hung up on something strange. Two Onix Machamp ex decks in a row

>>57057736
No, even as one it's one of the best cards in the game. But two is better

You've got some catching up to do
>>
>>57057736
Yes, and not just for consistency. It's not uncommon to retreat an injured Mewtwo ex for a fresh one. Gardevoir supplies enough energy to get away with that.

Blaine with kang to shit on pika
>>
>>57057868
Blaine doesn't shit on Pika. At best Blaine has a 50-50 matchup with Pika ex. Ninetails with Blaine can one shot Pika ex, yes, but Pika ex with full bench one shots Ninetails, with Giovanni one shots Rapidash (and the Kanga you mentioned), regular Zapdos one shots Ninetales and Rapidash, Raichu one shots Ninetales and Rapidash, and Zapdos ex has a 68.75% chance of flipping two or more heads with each attack to one shot Ninetails or Rapidash. Not so cut and dry is it?

All that takes good draws to set up for pika.
Blaine is much better paced and with Kang will more often than 50% of the time disrupt the average pika virgin.

>All that takes good draws to set up for pika.
I did the entire event as Blaine and I can't even count the games I played during this event where I had to use my low retreat costs and low point payouts to stall until I drew into a gameplan. Every deck needs good draws so they can set up.
Pikachu was my WORST matchup in the event and the only reason I was able to get 5 wins as Blaine is because half the people running Pikachu are mouth breathers. Pikachu hasn't cornered the mouth breathers, they were piloting every deck, but it really mattered against Pikachu.
>>
>>57057939
Proof? Because I can link you to tournament standings that show that no Blaine competitor has an over 50% win rate against Pikachu ex decks.

If I can't win this stupid streak medal before the event ends, I'm going to punish myself by buying a bad dragon to fuck myself with.
