>>57057589Keep posting pokegirls.
Pretty much all the normal type pokemon are completely unplayable besides a tiny few
Pretty much all the pokemon are completely unplayable besides a tiny few
I tried playing the sheep pokemon....that was a mistake
>>57057589What is the friend id survey
I'll play this shit until we get FA Mallow
just battled a guy with pic related, that's the braggiest bling you could get in the game, right?t'was a mewtroon shitter btw
>>57057589>>57057603I'm surprised no one has done art of them with their outfits swapped with one another
>>57057623The trouble is your opponent gets to flip the coin. All they have to do to play around it is decide to flip heads. Paralysis is much better because you are the player with agency.
>>57057623Oh you said sheep. I read that as sleep.>>57057634>that's the braggiest bling you could get in the game, right?You can get the bird emblem just by scumming your friend list to get god pack wonder pick offers.The card pack player icons are more of an ordeal to unlock.
What packs should I pull to complete this?
Mini set WHERE and WHEN
>jewtubers are going through the machamp ex roundsI'm still amazed that they all create exactly the same content, one right after another. If I was a jewtuber I would make decks that were not already actively showing up in my recommended feed
>>57057613Elaborate please. There is very few normal types and most of them have their use. >PidgeyIt's not bad.>RattataThere is better alternative in colorless.>SpearowGimmick, kinda meh, could be better.>JigglyPromo Jiggly and Wiggly ex are good cards.>MeowthSame as Spearow.>Farfetch'dA solid card.>DoduoBetter Rattata, 0 retreat.

>>57057649Charizard for metal.The other two for dark.
When do I get my venu coin & playmat
>>57057649Mewtwo or Pikachu, pivot to Charizard after getting your Darks
>>570576492/5 Metal mons are shared. 3/5 are in Charizard.2/14 Dark mons are shared. 6/14 are in Pikachu. 6/14 are in Mewtwo.
>>57057660kinda funny how the weakest decks/types are the ones most spread out across all 3 packs
This is the funniest card in the game, its not bulky, strong, or easy to set up. However if you get a successful sleep just once, you probably won.
I want more Hoenn Pokemon, but I guess some other regions have it worse. At least Gardevoir is in one of the best decks.
>>57057685I'm trying so hard to get it but I keep pulling meta cards
Full heals when?
>>57057685Did you win tho
>>57057685List?
>>57057700Yeah, i killed a meowth in the back with greninja then robbed the mewtwo with one sleep. >>57057706I dont reccomend it, persian is a downgrade from Meowth. I was thinking it would be neat to run and the 50 extra HP from evolving would catch people off guard, but 2 energy to attack for a bad side effect kills the potential. Most of the time of i spend 2 energy on persian, i wasted an opportunity to set up Wigglytuff faster
Finally got the badge but nah this event is pure distillated dogshit.
>>57057735Yup.
Fire decks suck wtf
Are store tickets per "thanks" from battles limited daily?
How do I tell how much time left in my premium free trial
>>57057770yes5 only
It.. it could still show up... right?
>>57057649Unironically the miniset, don’t be a retard and waste resources
new pack announcement tomorrow right?...
Do you think they'll take advantage of the digital format and errata cards as the game progresses, based on usage rates and representation? Certain under or overpowered cards?
>>57057813What's the miniset
>>57057818They will just release counters/better cards.
>>57057818They'll "errata" underpowered cards by releasing event versions that are better. See Mankey and Jigglypuff.
>>57057790see ya in the next 5 million packs
Die Pikabird
FUCKING FINALLY
>>57057827No idea but it comes out on the 16th, it would stand to reason it will have some new dark and steel types
>>57057855welcome to the chads, free of this shitty event
>>57057776just cancel it. even if you cancel right away, it won't stop the trial until your 2 weeks are over.
>>57057885I had fun but it was too easy and now there's nothing to do
What are the meme decks to shit on people still running the event
>miniset>still named genetic apex>already all kanto named mons in gamewhat new cards are they even going to add
>>57057899Anything that hard counters mewtwo, wheezebok is a good one
>>57057899Dragonite is a meme because it's a strictly worse version of other payload charging decks like Charizard ex/Arcanine ex/ Centiskorch, and Blastoise ex and relies on dual energy and completely random damage allocation to win. Pure gambler's cope and honestly degenerate
>>57057911They could just add all Kantomon variants and evos + Mew ex
>>57057911Lugia ex, trust the plan
>>57057911>still named genetic apexnope
>>57057920Massive cope
>>57057899Jiggly Wiggly sleep
>>57057911Dragonite EX
>>57057899>>57057461
Would be super funny if the miniset is like the other packs with a bunch of overlapping cards and only a couple new cards at 3 diamond rarity and EX cards
>>57057915List?
>>57057951I expect the lamest content updates from dena, so this tracks
>>57057790FC?
It's going to get extra cancer when we have more and more packs but only 2 pack pulls a day
>>57057966This won't be a problem if you played since apex. You should have most of the set already, barring the full arts
>>57057966They'll cycle packs out, don't worry! You'll only have 4 packs available at any given time.
>>57057955
I'm not gonna get Venusaur
>tfw one of those days
>>57057951>Would be super funny if the miniset is like the other packs with a bunch of overlapping cards and only a couple new cards at 3 diamond rarity and EX cardsIf the mini set isn't new cards I'm going to be pissed. I mean what's the purpose of a mini set if its cards you can get from the main seta higher chance to get select cardsFAH!
>>57057899double hypno sleep coinflipsmarowakwiggly EXanything with aerodactyl>>57057977>clearly a whale>deck is shitname a more iconic duo
>>57057979Same. I'm gonna have to use hour glasses, but by the way the event is going, even that's questionable. You look like you've used yours
>>57057985The value of whaling is being able to play whatever dogshit builds you want
>>57057988I did. I might have to actually spend gold on it. Jesus Christ.
>>57057971>You should have most of the set already,I joined right after Lapras. I have a playset of 124 cards, I have 1 copy of 43 cards, and I'm missing 59 cards.Which is a lot worse than it sounds. Not having a playset of a single card makes its entire line virtually unplayable.
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. This shit is impossible.
>>57057991Not how it works in this PVP gacha. My F2P meta deck will shitstomp your whale dogshit deck any day of the week. Constellations can't save you here buddy.
>>57057979ill trade you mine in january
>>57058002How does trading work do we know? For how upset I am about Venusaur I did get a shit ton of lapras
>>57057999Just keep trying. I've seen more and more concedes while I run my concedes
>>57058012trading will be anything from relatively friendly to completely unusable but so far nothing is known
>>57057963Their friends list is full but don't worry I don't think you're missing out on anything
>>57058000There's no ranked. Have fun.
>>57058024This event is worse than ranked
You just know
>>57057999Post deck, why does everyone whine but no one ask for help? It’s an anonymous forum, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about
Anyone got a dragonite list?
>>57058035>posted it again award
>>57058038https://www.pokemonmeta.com/top-decks#deck=Dragonite
>>57058026I won in 5 games, unlike you.
>>57058037How could anybody need help when they can just Google meta decks and copy them card for card?
For whatever reason the algorithm wanted me to punish two Blastoise ex players in a row that were hiding behind Snorlax walls. I would just pepper them with the Greninja on my bench and not even attack their Snorlax. The first guy fully powered up his Blastoise ex, put two energy on Snorlax, use two x speed, switched in and attacked a tentacool, only for me to Sabrina back out his Snorlax. He conceded. The second unlucky bastard never even drew his Wartortle before conceding.
>>57058050No I actually won it in 5 too. I'm gauging from the reactions of most people and my understanding of basic probability to realize it probably was mostly down to luck though. Unlike you.
>>57058056Just because they copied the deck doesn't mean they know how to pilot it.
>>57058056It's not all about the cards on the deck but how to actually play it.
>already have gold emblem>play two games in the event queue>using promo mankey>curbstomp both opponentsThe game is trying to trick me into playing more pvp, but I won’t fall for it. Those players were bad and would have lost even if I hadn’t gotten the combo early.
>>57058063once you know what cards are in a deck, how to run it is pretty clear.
>>57058057snorlax walls seem like a good idea at first, but the high retreat cost means your just giving free points to your opponent and if you're dealing with pokemon that can attack your bench your kind of shit out of luck. Snorlax also kind of sucks against really high damage pokemon that need a lot of energy because your just giving them more time to set up their sweep. I hope we get an EX version at some point.
Should I buy a Surging Sparks ETB or the pass for this game?
Well i got my hourly 1 consecutive win. Better stop while im ahead. If i get 2 in a row i might actually be really lucky for Vegas
>>57058069It just surprised me that a Blastoise-chad hadn't adopted the Mewtwo wall strategy yet. But yeah Snorlax ex could be cool, maybe with an ability to put himself to sleep for a heal
>Got the event's mission for 10 matches for 12 hourglasses>only managed 2 wins in a rowI'm fine with that. I got what I really care about, hourglasses.
>>57058069You’re missing the most important part: snorlax requires 4 fucking energy do deal 70 damage. The fat fuck is completely passive. Even onix is better because of Brock.
>>57058072do you have a place to play offline? If not I wouldn't bother, 99% of pokemon cards won't be worth much in resale value down the line so it's your just paying for the paper. >>57058074why mewtwo? surely articuno or kangaskhan wall just as well with the added bonus of somtimes attacking?
>>57058074>It just surprised me that a Blastoise-chad hadn't adopted the Mewtwo wall strategy yet.Normal mewtwo can still be used for offense once you have gardes up. I think Blastoise should just use normal articuno for wall.
>>57058090yeah the damage is beyond abysmall, I don't know what they were thinking.
>>57058092I don't really have a place, no, and I do play this every day. But the idea of paying for digital goods makes me feel icky.
>>57058092Kanga is almost too good
>>57058097I pay for the premium pass but it's not much of a value, even at 10$ a month. If you don't have one already, I'd reccomend making an alt to pull more cards and hopefully you'll be able to transfer those to your main in a month or so.
>>57058039First general?>>57058038I scoured Limitless and these are the decks that blew the least ass.2-2-2 Dragonite 2 Articuno (or 1 Articuno 1 Kangaskhan)2 Professor's Research 2 Sabrina 1 Misty (or 1 Sabrina 1 Giovanni)2 Poké Ball 2 X Speed 2 Potion 1 Red Card2-2-2 Greninja 2-2-1 Dragonite 2 Kangaskahn2 Professor's Research 1 Sabrina2 Poké Ball 2 X Speed2-2-2 Dragonite 2-1/1 Vaporeon/Jolteon 1 Articuno 1 Zapdos2 Professor's Research 1 Sabrina 1 Giovanni 1 Misty2 Poké Ball 1 X Speed1-2-2 Dragonite 2-2-1 Omastar 1-1 Aerodactyl2 Professor's Research 1 Sabrina 1 Giovanni2 Potion 1 X Speed 1 Red Card
>>57058092The Blastoise ex deck I bedecked uses Kangaskhan, normal Mewtwo, and Articuno. Normal Mewtwo can take some hits that Kanga can't and only has a retreat cost of two
>>57057914I got 5 wins almost immediately with mewtwo and 3 of them were wheezebok games lol
>>57057971I started playing the moment I heard about the game and that was like 5 days ago.I'm fine but surely they're gonna have to allow for some catchup for newbies.Word of mouth takes like 3 months to spread for mobile games.
>>57058056Tips on how to play it? There’s plenty of people using homebrews or worse versions of meta decks too
>>57058067Tell that to all the monkeys queuing for pvp.
>>57058149>already outsold genshinnot for pokemon. I don't play gacha shit or pokemon games outside of this and I still heard about it.
It is done! I’m FREE!
>>57058194wat dek
>Trying to pull Charizard EX>Machamp EX>Machamp EX>Machamp EX>Starmie EXI shit you not these were my last 4 packs in a row
>dominate first pvp even with my charizard deck>casually win nearly every random battle after>new pvp event I'm 0 - 10What the fuck is going on? I get trash hands every time and if I manage to get a moltres and charmander on field together, inferno dance rolls tails every time. Now that consecutive wins matter I can't even get 1? Jesus fuck
>>57058186>I don't play pokemon games outside of thisso you just like bad card games?
anyone else hope that we just get a new set
>>57058211You're already playing with fire (pun intended) trying to get the win streak with a Stage 2 dependent deck
>>57058215Nah, I don't play yugioh, magic, heathstone, or whatever, just this
>>57058229I'm missing a mewtwo ex for that deck, I have a regular mewtwo but he's garbage. I'm missing one articuno for a starmie deck. The only other thing I have is marowak
>>57058149If you just started, I'd reroll for Blaine or koga, those decks should last you a a good bit while you collect exs over time
>>57058197Pikachu EX. Had to do it.
Playing pikachu and while this is still overtuned bullshit it still feels a million times more like an actual card game deck than mewtwo.Like the low cost retreat swapping makes sense as a mechanic. Mewtwo was just winning because my basic card was better.
>>57058237I got the top 2 meta decks while opening their packs hoping for koga and coinflip gimmicks lol.
Fuck it, I've got 530 pity points. May as well craft mewtwo
I SAW YOUR "LEAK" IN THE WEBSITE AND SAW NOTHINGFUCKING NOTHINGNO DATENO NAMESNO MONSNOTHING
>>57058262whatever leak your talking about, if it isn't on this website https://ptcgp.raenonx.cc/en I wouldn't trust it
>>57058243I had some really good mirror matches with Pikachu during this event. They were very close and it actually felt like when I won it was because I outskilled my opponents. It's a fun deck
>>57058014No it's just completely fucked. I can't get a win because my opener is shit or I get outplayed.>>57058037I don't have any top meta decks. 4x Marowak, 6x Machamp, 10x Supports.
>>57058235Sounds like you need some advice on how to pilot your deck. Post it.
>>57058243Yeah Pikachu ex is just more fun to play than Mewtwo. There are simply more possibilities and worthwhile permutations. Lightning type is just the best type in the game right now
That's rough
Finally after hours trying and stopping right here >>57055783, I got 5 games in a row going second with Mistycuno. I can't believe I'm free at last.
>>57058240shamefur dispray
>>57056794 #I built this deck and immediately won 5 times in a rowThanks anon
It's Pikachu's world. You're just living in it.
>>57058267THERE ISNT EVEN A LEAK THERE
>>57058274I've dominated this whole season with my zard deck it's a pretty simple concept until luck fucked me in the ass this event. I just bought a mewtwo and my luck returned. Now I'm just another mewshitter
>>57058308it has info about upcoming events before their announced.
>got my 5-0 in my first 5 sets with Blastoise>immediately start playing shitty coin flip decks >tune into some streamers>9/10 of them are having trouble getting a 5 win streak, but it’s clearly because they’re all playing generic meta decks that just lose to generic meta decks because everyone knows exactly how they work and how to play against them so the outcome is entirely predetermined to be nearly 50%Fools
>>57058323Post list
>Have 1 card in hand >It's Gardevoir>Have Kirilia already on field>Chink decides to use red card>Didn't draw Gardevoir or Oak>Lose next turn because I needed the extra energy to retreat my normal M2 for the EX in the benchI fucking hate chinks.
>>57058323you say this like blastoise isn't just charizard with extra steps
>>57058323This game is still young enough that many still cannot pilot decks well. Any card gamers worth their salt will be able to juke themselves a win
>Friend's WonderPick expires>Another pick of his immediately appears in place>First pick didn't go to the expired/picked areaWahI wanted to try that Giovanni...
>>57058335>>57058331>charizard with extra stepsNah I just stall until he’s ready, no coin flips necessary
>>57058342What is Mewtwo doing there?
>>57058342kanga and mewtwo are just worse stall options compared to moltres and don't have the added benefit of building energy.
>>57058347NTA, but being a 120HP with 2-cost retreat
>>57058342brave man trying to get blastoise to 5 energy with only 1 misty card. The fossils are kind of pointless if you already have two dedicated stall basics
>>57058270I don’t have Marowak and I don’t have a ton of experience with Machamp. There have been a couple Fighting decks that have done well in tournaments though https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/pocket-league-legends-8/player/goddragonkingz/decklisthttps://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/pocket-legends-league-7/player/lowbattz/decklistThe Marowak deck seems a little better for general use; the Machamp one is probably tuned to be more anti-Pika. If you try the Marowak deck I’d try to play the Red Card well, you can do it early game after they play an Oak (even if they brick you can give them a bigger brick) or right after a Stage 1 of a 3-stage line appears assuming the opponent has a decent sized hand. It’s also useful for cases where your opponent may need a Sabrina or Gio to win in the turn after yours.With the deck I’d say just keep your win condition in mind, try to avoid all or nothing situations with the Wak, most games you need a kill of 1 EX and 1 non ex just focus on how to do that. I realize I’m giving very general advice but just think through all your turns and ask yourself what your best move is, even stuff like energy attachment or choosing supporters to play you gotta be careful with. I wish I could offer more Wak-specific advice though, I have some schizo shit cooking with other Fighting types that I think would be fun with him
>>57058338You often refer to playing as "piloting a deck" as if this game isn't a half step up from go fish. What tcg did you wash out of?
>>57058349I ko moltres and then you look like a fool
>>57058211same shit happened to me with my blaine deck, had to swap to the chadzard for the ez streak.
>>57058373>implying it doesn't take less to get through mewtwo or kanga
Legendary bird deckCan it work?
It's been like 15 games since I haven't seen Oak in my initial hand while my opponents always open it + 1 pokeball :)
>>57058382I've seen one person try, it's seems like a terrible idea
>>57058371Knowing how to pilot is crucial especially in mirror matches since you will want to sabotage them before they set up their wincon. If you want suggestion, try TEPPEN
>>57058387Yeah I stopped pulling oak too but it didn't matter. Just felt weird, I had to double check I didn't accidentally copy a deck without him
>>57058387>opponent has 4 cards on their deck while you have 12 cardsYeah, the rng can be real jank at times
Oak is too good and the difference between drawing oak or not is huge.
>>57058408>opponent wins the aerodactyl coinflip 3 times>I have 12 cards in my deck while they have nothing
>>57058397Speaking of mirror matches, my ditto paid off recently against a fellow zard. I was able to use him to buff my charmander off of THEIR moltres and force his zard out to be killed by mine. Probably the most fun I've had in a match.P.S how do you guys take nice screenshots of your decks?
Stop conceding, I'm trying to give you your 5th victory.
>>57058418>ditto for mirrorI'm surprised that actually worked out well>screenshotYou will have to use site like limitless since the in-game deck viewer sucks
>>57058361Fossils are there for a variety of reasons. Sometimes I don’t know what I want to bring in next so I can let a fossil replace a fainted Kanga without having to commit to bringing wartortle when I don’t know if I’ll draw blastoise. Also since I only run 2 stall mons, sometimes I just need to have protection against Sabrina >>57058349Moltres is worth 2 though and does 0 damage
>>570583611st Energy on Kanga2-4 on Squirtle while Kanga dies Blastoise comes out with minimum 3 energy, OR I stall another 2 with m2
>>57057999you got brain problems
>>57058431moltres doesn't need to do damage, it only has to soak up to 130hp before switching out. unless you brick and only pull one moltres and no other basics, you don't need to worry about sabrina either. >>57058438>kanga surviving for 4 turnsin my experience your lucky if you get more than 3.
>>57058431>Moltres is worth 2 though and does 0 damageMy Moltres kicked asses in this event though. Sometimes the dancer needs to take the leader and 70 damage is nothing to sneeze at
>>57057999>punishNo nigga that’s a reward. Come to think of it, I got the 5 wins… hmm
>Grass w/Aero vs Water deck>Not an amazing opening for me but I get Exeggutor EX and Aero up, kill his Froakie and 3-energy Articuno comes out, currently his only mon left>Exegg can’t retreat and I have no healing cards yet so I likely get 1 shot with the Aero because of the chip from the 2 Blizzards it will take to kill Eggy >He fucking ???? Sabrinas in the Aero >I wingbeat and flip heads to win the game Smartest Misty player
Do you have 31 tickets yet to buy out the shop? I'm at 28
>>57058468I was playing a casual game in beginner and accidentally used sabrina when i had the winning attack right thereopponent was forced to switch to snorlax which ended up stalling the game for the both of us and the opponent just conceded after that
your resident content cowboy calls Mewtwo "the most consistent deck"actually crazy that someone who spreads factually wrong information is the most popular youtuber for this game. then again, he's probably just too retarded to understand statistics. the most consistent deck is Pikachu, by a lot. Mewtwo is in fact more volatile than Misty decks.
A very nice japanese player using a meme petilil deck just gave me my 5th win in a row, thank you my japanese fren.
i did the 5 wins first try with a standard blaine deck. you guys don't need le meta for it. believe in blaine.
>>57058418
>>57058477>Mewtwo is in fact more volatile than Misty decks.bruhMewtwo wins by drawing 4 specific cards out of 8 as fast as possible2 of those 4 you need can be searched, so really it's 6 out of 10Misty wins by winning a 50/50 for 1 energy, a 75/25 for 2 energy, and a 87/12 for 3 energy, with a 1/10 chance of getting said cardthere is no world where Misty is more consistent than M2
the miniset is an hour glass trapthey want f2p to blow their hourglasses so that they're dry when the next expansion comes out
>>57058501Misty has higher wr, therefore it's less volatile. More consistent is not how I'd call it as it communicates the wrong idea.
>>57058477>obsessed with an unnamed ecelebHave you ever considered, anon, that (You) are the one who is wrong? Because you are.
>>57058501Don’t bother. That anon knows everything, and is undeniably the best player in the thread. One thing I know for sure is that he is correct about the youtube guy spreading bad info. I’ll keep my unworthy mewtwo / pika opinions to myself.
>>57058477We only watch NBB I’m afraid
>>57058502>wasting hourglasses on two shitty alt art basicswhy bother? especially when you can potentially get them for free in the bonus picks
>>57058502>getting new cards is drying your resourceOr you just get the free daily packs. It's not like GA will rotate with the new set
I cannot catch a break. Every game it's the worst possible hands>charmander>x speed>x speed>giovanni>potionThen first draw will be a pokeball that gives me the other charmander. I've lost more times tonight than I have since launch. It feels like my deck was nerfed but I'm still fighting the same decks.>>57058496Thanks!
>>57058524>anon can't read
do we even know what cards are going to be in the miniset
>>57058511>>57058508>>57058501i told you time and time again that there are just as many mewtwo decks at the bottom in each tourney as there are ones at the top, and of course mewtwo wins tourneys most often, but it's not because it's the most consistent deck. it's because it's the strongest deck if you get lucky and when 25% of all players play this one deck, then the likelihood of one of them getting a lucky streak is relatively high. if we did a mock tourney where 25% of players played misty instead, the result would look similar as someone is bound to get 10 lucky coin flips 10 matches in a row. but that is not how you express consistency, and for some reason language is not sufficient to explain to you people that "wins the most tourneys" is not equivalent to "wins the most matches" or "wins matches most consistently"
>>57058469I have 24.
>>57058323I get 5 wins in a row with mewtwo ever day pretty much. I don't buy this.Maybe if you're calling 2nd tier decks 'meta' decks this still applies but I think the gap between the top 2 decks and everything else is drastic.The rest of it's probability. Even an 80% winrate deck only has 32% chance of going 5 in a row.65% winrate, which seems like a more reasonable estimate for a top deck in a TCG, has 11% odds of going 5 in a row.
>>57058538No one cares. Go be wrong and mad (and obsessed with ecelebs) somewhere else.
>>57058542retard lol
>>57058538>brainlets don't understand basic statisticsIt's a classic
>>57058469where'd this picture come from?
>>57058538This isn't how winrate works.The winrate of any low playercount deck that is performing well would drop when more people adopt it.They currently get inflated by outlier results. M2 and Pika have suppressed outliers because they're being played so much.Also you obviously get weaker players playing it as a deck gets more popular. You can replicate this by looking at the history of any other TCG or even stuff like chess openings.
>>57058538>taking win rates at face value and not putting any thought into why they're so high, and why m2 consistently makes high placements while misty doesn'tlol
>>57058538Does this even filter out mirror matches?
>>57058558I literally told you why Mewtwo gets high placements... are you just pretending, or...?
Is it true that you're guaranteed a god pack after not opening one for a certain amount of pulls? I heard someone say it, but there wasn't any source.
>>57058469I only have 20. I didn't buy the first stuff because this game loves screwing me over and I wanted to make sure I could get the coin and the avatar first.
>>57058538it is a tragedy how many of you have been failed by the public school system. Please take a basic stats course, jesus christ
>>57058538>it’s another “anon spergs out over single percentage point” episodesCalm down. If your only point is that the most represented deck is likely to make top cut, you aren’t saying much.
>>57058566Mercy timers are common in card games but it's more likely that the mercy is just for a single rare card.
>>57058565if you were to think about what you said for 5 seconds you would realize that it doesn't make sense
>>57058572bro really looks at that and says mewtwo is more consistently winning matches than pikachu
>>57058572I started rping last year and it turns out that basically no americans have been taught how to write coherently.It's fucking depressing
>>57058538>phone poster>is a retardevery. single. time.
>>57058538What do you think about Starmie Ex?
>>57058576the problem is that you're the one who isn't thinking. you don't understand volatility.
>>57058581>bro I swear Mewtwo is a more consistent than Pikachu!
If I am playing this game for long enough, my hope is that by the time a Sabrina coin comes out I can get the mono color one for free.
>>57058538Don't bother bro. This is just like people not understanding why you always switch doors in the monty hall problem. Let's imagine PikachuEX had a 90% win-rate, and then it entered a tourney where all other decks were M2 with a 50% win-rate. Eventually the PikachuEX deck is going to brick and hit that 10% chance to lose, making the tourney winner a M2 deck. People will then say M2 is better than PikaEX.
>>57058595you cannot earn more than 100 gold total as f2p
>>57058578Even if we agree to take the data at face value, are you really gloating about a 2% difference? Is that how you cope with losses?

>>57058612lolthey're all going to cost the same
>>57057999It took me 32 wins. Don't fret until you have 50 wins; at that point it will have been objectively worse than the 50 wins event.
>>57058612Because nips like Erika more than Sabrina.
Got another 5 win streak, this deck is pretty good bros. Hitmonchan kept one shitting jigglypuffs and that shit was really funny. I thought he was a total downgrade from hitmonlee but hitting electric and normal type walls hard is nice.

>>57058701>Just be glad we don't have a single tier 1 deck meta or a tier 0 meta.We never will, because the game is balanced around how badly it sucks to go first.

>>57058724It actually feels so good to earn stuff and not spend money.I remember I had yugioh WCT2004on the GBA, and my buddy took my game and unlocked every card with his action replay. I never picked the game up again cause there was nothing to unlock or overcome.I feel that way about this game.Any paypigs ITT tell me, how does it feel pulling 10 packs and getting your seventh copy of Gloom full art? Does it feel bad?
>>57058741>you tardsI understand what they're "for", you retard, they just don't always work that way, and when they're what you draw first, you can't even profit off of them because double potion is a thing.
Say the following out loud: "I H O P nuss"
>>57058758i eitch o penus? i really dont see what youre going for
Holy shit I can't stop laughing, there really should be an instant-replay in this game to save and view past matches. I just completely destroyed a PikaEX deck with the Wiggly/Greninja deck. They bricked my hand with a red card and I never ended up getting the Greninjas out, but during the entire 19 turn match he only managed to attack twice due to all the tails he was getting.I'm 100% sure the guy was raging as he conceded.

I did that
>>57058761this looks suspiciously similair to a match I played earlier today. gg's if that was you. probably the only wiggly deck i've lost to so far
>>57058774I don't like that this little shit gets 4 different art for the same card I don't care if he's a popular mon
>>57058761Wiggly Greninja is absolutely disgusting and I love it. Getting one or two good flips is enough to shut down a lot of decks.

this guy fucks over Pika ex so hard
>>57058793Hurry the fuck up.
>>57058845>4 energy attackSure he does
THIS guy fucks over Pika ex so hard (please lightly tap him once first if he didn't already hurt himself)
>>57058824>>57058830I'll never understand this logic because I've had too many games where a key basic is sniped either through Sabrina or otherwise and it's nice to have a second
>>57058851I'm not that guy, and I don't play Melmetal, but I can see it. Once Melmetal is up, Pika insta loses, and Melmetal doesn't need to have a Gardevoir line out as well, he just needs a wall for 4 turns.
>>57058845How the fuck do you kill Melmetal
>>57058809arbok and weezing is probably the most fun deck to play with. but I also feel like they're the only relevant cards for dark. I would like some more attackers or pokemon with supporter abilities to allow more variety with dark decks.
>>57058865>he just needs a wall for 4 turns.Pika is online turn 2. Just not seeing how this is an instant loss at all

>>57058809Honestly since I built the weezing/arbok deck it's the most fun I've had with the game
>>57058889I'll raise you a Diglett and suggest Dugtrio.
>>57058809>weezing+arbok is the best or second best off meta deck>nido's don't even register with how bad they areit's a weird feel, hoping for more buffs to nido's or tyranitar.
>>57058889>8889well i tried
>>57058869Charizard Or any FIREmon
>>57058870I don't really think so desu. Pikachus deck is filled with 1 retreat cost Pokemon so it'll be ready by the very next turn at full power if it has XSpeed or it's past turn 3. It has to be koga'd out or it's 2 shot. You get to do 40 "free" damage ate the cost of 1 energy 1 evo and 1 supporter card. Which honestly isn't that amazing. Pikachu's deck is too busted.
>>57058887>so close to quads
Any of you guys actually play on those tourneys with prize money? Is it a pain in the ass to get everything set up? I wanna try playing, but I don't know if it's too annoying.
>>57058878>Just not seeing how this is an instant loss at allI said once Melmetal gets 4 energy it's an instant loss. How you get to 4 energy, I'm not sure. I haven't tried playing Melmetal exactly because I don't know how you get to 4 energy.
>>57058290Decklist?
>>57058900Other than spending half of your day in a tourny, it's just click and sign upjust check limitless
>>57058901>>57058901>I haven't tried playing Melmetal exactly because I don't know how you get to 4 energy.Sometimes your opponent bricks. But at that point you could be winning with anything.
>>57058870not really
>>57058870Melmetal fucks this guy too
Are non ex economy decks the meta? I think Blaine deck is maybe the best in the game aside from pika ex maybe. I still beat most I play with the blaine deck, but also I’ve been winning a lot with pic related. I made a similar deck(no 3 evo/no ex) with water and have won my first few as well.
>>57058870Pika shits all over Wheezing what are you on?How is poison real nigga just use xspeed just retreat to your other fully powered up Pika
>>57058885yeah muk decent. they hit hard but they're slow to build up compared to arbok. you could run both and use a 1-1 muk as a late game attacker. but I feel like using that space for something like 2x speeds is better so you don't have to rely on needing koga to get weezing out of the active.
>>57058901Meltan's attack adds energy You just gotta do this once to really only be adding 3Melmetal can tank with his ability
>>57058921>Meltan's attack adds energySure, but Meltan into Pikachu seems ultra retarded to me because you just die unless they bricked.
>>57058918they follow up with koga and then trap you with arbok
>>57058879I probably will. Something about those mirror matches, winning knowing the other guy is seething thinking it was just luck
>>57058885what this anon said >>57058920muk is decent, but best to only have 1-1 since weezing and arbok are more valuable pokemonhe can also do a turn 2 poison if you have him in your starting hand, which makes the opponent have a panic attacki dont know why, but opponents tend to make dumber decisions when muk has a presence on the field as if the dark lord has arrived
>>57058935>need koffing+weezing+ekans+arbok+2 energy on arbok+koga and hope they don't have gioOk bro might as well play exodia.
>>57058927It comes down to the coin flipIf Pikachu goes second you cannot use meltan to add and must evolve ASAPIf meltan goes second you get your free energy and Pikachu is still at one once he goes againYou now have 2 energy and can evolve with 3 after, melmetal takes a hit from pika now at 2 energy, then you go again now with 4 and can one shot pikaThen clean up anything else he would have
>>57058935the Arbok that gets OHKO'd by a Pika+Gio with 3 on bench?oh no!
What Pokemon do I pair with my 2 Wigglies?
>>57058949I think its a staple in Koga/Weez decks.
>>57058943Genuinely dumb if you think x speed will save you from weezing desu
>>57058948yeah and then the pika ex dies to weezing with gio as well next turn
>>57058949Greninja if you want to make people mad. High chance of not getting thanks afterwards though.
>>57058915>Are non ex economy decks the meta?Yes, just nobody has caught on yetI dunno about Blaine being good though, I have yet to see a decent list
>>57058915No, this game just uses "deckweight" and you get easy matches if your deck sucks.
>>57058962False
>>57058915>non-exs being the bestdelusional>>57058958>blaine not being the best non-exdelusionaltwo terrible posts wtf
This >>57058870 was my post and I'm happy it has caused so much rage among pika players
>>57058915Is it really that good? I could make this.
>>57058963The worse decks I use, the easier my matches are. If I use meta, I only fight meta. If I use jank it magically becomes a queue that has more decks than just Pikachu Mewtwo Charizard.
>>57058965Show me a good Blaine then
>>57058955Good job, too bad the second Pika in the back is already set to go!
>>57058972I play sabrina and kill the one prize mon on their bench or tap zapdos with zero energy again with arbok
>>57058971i dont care for correcting your retardation, check any high placing blaine you dimwit
>>57058969It’s not pika tier but I won 5 in a row with it. I would make Blaine deck if you need to win 5. I’ve won 9 in a row with this one
>>57058972You're really overestimating pika here, weezing wears down all of your ex's and pika can't keep up with koga healing the weezing
>>57058985Yeah so you just confirmed you don't know what you're talking about, thanks
>>57058946This is pretty much it. If you're going first you slowly charge up Melmetal in the back while you stall and roadblock as best you can. I like using Kanga because they're sturdy enough to take more than one hit. If you're going first you get to 3 then evolve. X-Speeding Meltan out and then evolving him on the bench is another option that makes him very difficult to kill in this scenario
I hope Wonder Pick events will be frequent since this is an easy way to slowly accumulate Wonder Hourglasses
Once more cards are in this is going to be so F2P unfriendly
>>57059002The tickets are annoying though there aren't enough rewards in the shop and you just end up with a surplus.
>>57059009Depends on how frequent new card sets become and if important generic trainer card staples are in the sets too. At the moment every deck is essentially 2-3 Pokemon lines and the standard Potion/Oak/Sabrina/Giovanni/X-Speed spread
>>57059009I think it depends on how often they release sets. if they pull a magic and release like 20 sets a year there will be no hope lol. but it they do something similar to the non pocket tcg where I think its 4 sets a year itll be doable as a f2p
>>57059011For real, they should at least make it like you can buy an hourglass with 5 event tickets or something
>>57058971Here's my list >>57053876.It has a miserable match up versus Pikachu but otherwise it's fine.>>57058965>>non-exs being the best>delusionalAmen to that. I'm convinced that most Pokemon ex only see play in an attempt to answer Pikachu, but the flip side of that is you need an ex if you want a good answer to Pikachu.
>>57059027Weezing can take on Pikachu though
>jiggly sleep opponent for 13 turns>never draw oak>never draw froakie>never draw wiggly>he finally wakes up>i still only have a jiggly Great game.
>>57059032So can Blaine. You're fighting an uphill battle against consistency.
>>57059033You have done this to yourself
I just pulled my first Dragonite.Quick question for Dragonite users:What do you think of picrel?I think it is mathematically one of the best mons to support the dork, but I hardly ever see it.
Specifically having ninetales with Blaine is the answer to pikachu. Also the ability to sacrifice and have easy swaps because low retreat. Pika mogs most ex cards and it’s an easy two points. Low cost fast Econ decks are the answer to pika and prolly most of the meta. Also I’ve never been on this board really and, y’all talk like middle school boys lol
Dragonite's an energy hog who can steal games by itself so I'd rather not have to expend much energy on other Pokemon if possible but that's just me. I usually run either Weezing (no dark energy) or Kang/Fetch'd
>>57059056meant for >>57059047
>he didn't returnI don't think I'm getting 5 wins with this deck, but thanks to the anon who suggested it. I needa try more things out with Wiggly.
>>57059033>Playing Jiggly>Complain about RNGYou have to embrace the good and bad RNG if you want to play this deck. You will brick sometimes. They will flip heads sometimes. If you can't accept that, Pikachu is over that way, bwo...
>>57059047vaporeon is better as a support because you can potentially juice it with misty where as jolteon needs to get the energy manually. common picks for walls to stall out with dragonite are weezing or kangaskhan. I did however see someone running vaporeon/jolteon/dragons, so I suppose if you're lucky enough, it could work. Jolteons energy cost unfortunately means it'll would eat up too much energy on a dragon deck to get dragonite online, it's better off used in an electric deck where it works as a bootleg zapdos.
>>57059070>Don't think I'm getting 5 wins with this deckDifferent WigglyNinja anon here, but..
I need this exeggcutor so fucking bad, where is it ladsCapcha sjw2j lol
>>57059075Would Magneton be any good?
Sabrina into concede is really a true combo
>>57059078I'm not that lucky.
>>57059009It all depends on trading. There's no way newfags will ever catch-up if they need cards from old packs to build new decks.
>Finally get the cards needed to try out the infamous Misty/Articuno deck>It's genuinely one of the most miserable experiences in my entire lifeI played maybe ten or more games and never once got the "easy win" that everyone brags about. I'm not exaggerating when I say the two times I managed to get a heads on the Misty coin flip it was only enough to get one extra energy. I only won a battle because for some dumb fuck reason the guy's only pokémon in his deck were two Moltres EX and one Charizard EX line. This shit was not worth the hype.
>>57059091I did. Once (i was playing against a friend)
>>57059086Based melmetal seems really cool. Do you have any recs for a deck?
So we all agree the game has deck-based matchmaking, yes? I just got 5 consecutive wins as Arcanine, and not once did I see a Pika. I was getting rats every second game as Mistycuno.
We're definitely getting Dragonite EX in the mini anyway. It all depends on whether dragon will get a way to cheat energy. Needing 4 energy manually for a stage 2 mon is too honest to be good.
>>57059086Post list?
>>57059082please read Magneton
>>57059107I didn't know what kind of matchmaking this game had, but after trying out many different decks while attempting to get 5 wins, I'm positive that it's at least partially deck-based.
>>57059075Jolteon is unironically better than Zapdos the only reason it doesn't see more play is because Pikachu ex is the dominant electric deck and doesn't work with eevee
>>57059082surge can't move energy from it to dragonite sadly.
>>57059107Why would anyone agree with that, it's not true You just got lucky dude (.
>>57059091It's infamy is exactly that - You can come across it and it mops the floor with you with a turn 1 Misty
>>57059080I'm feeling middle, but bottom-right looks good as well.
>>57059107Personally, i got to 5 straight wins with a standard moltreszard deck except i included an Arcanine ex.Did that one 'nine lower my "power level"? Probably.
Is this a decent fire deck? I'm bored of Blaine but I don't have Charizard ex and only one Arcanine
>>57059130Bug is basically budget zard so yeah plus he's cooler than that fat lizard
>>57059110He comes online in 2 turns if you put energy on him both turns, 3 turns if you put energy on him once, and 4 turns if you never put energy on him.My rationale is he's a low commitment body that can clean up if Draco Meteor doesn't win the game on the spot and Dragonite gets killed.He also pays for his own retreat if he's active and you're ready to tag Dragonite in.
>>57059130This is like the misty / Articuno of fire decksYou're gonna flop hard when you miss your flips. It's a bad deck. Blaine is better
>>57059126Bless you sir, my plight is over
>>57059130Too many brick possibilities, but I don't know how to fix it on this deck. I don't think any deck really wants to run 2x red cards.
>>57059130You need more pokemon. Red card is bad. Even 2x Magmar would be better than this
Just wonder picked a Victreebel, which was the last card I needed for Mew. Now I can sit comfy knowing I got everything I needed from this set, and anticipate the next one
>>57059091yeah its a meme deck, which is why Im using it for the event. articuno ex is a pretty beefy pokemon so you can fail a misty and be alright thanks to the amount of hp it has. but against pika its pretty much a wrap if you dont get your blizzard online by turn 2
>>57059109
>>57059150Do you really need 2 Giovanni?
>>570591442 more magmar just mean your pokeballs are less effective. Better with fossils if you won't ever use the red cards
>>57058793lol this intern literally gets their news from the Japanese Twitter account, they don't tell them anything. Poor fucker tweets shit like "Apparently we're getting x, apparently we're getting y. Lmao very transparent the Japs see us as second class.
Love the cards that connect through the art, these are my favorite
Even as a Blastoise ex appreciator, I really didn't need this
>>57059147Congrats. I'm still six away
I have always said, back since I was anti-Red Cardfag, that Red Card is literally only good on turns 1 or 2, and that after that it's dogshit. During this event, I have been Red Carded turn 1 or 2 frequently enough that I wonder which YouTuber let the cat out of the bag and informed the retards how to correctly use Red Card.
>>57059168Red card giving me exactly what I want has been a recurring trope the past few days. I'm not exaggerating when I say it helps me probably nine times out of ten
>>57059172Yeah. That's usually how it works. Except when it's used on turn 1 or turn 2, it can actually fuck you up. Any other time, it's better for the opponent than it is for you, and people were always using it at exactly the wrong times, when it could not possibly help them. They've been using it correctly during this event though.
ThxI also got 2 FA Alakazams from Wonderpick but forgot to ss
>>57059163samethose cards are the best
>>57059168its a sweaty event. people are going to start to play more optimally in general.

>>57059179I dunno. People are retards. "Sweaty" people is literally just "everyone", since everyone has at least 1 meta deck, and the game is ridiculously simplistic. Judging by the amount of screeching retards who were giving me shit back when I was only telling the truth about Red Card, I definitely think people are retarded, so the only way in my mind that people figured out how to use Red Card is for there to have been a YouTube video or a Reddit post explaining it somewhat recently.
>>57059183> 180 - (60 + 3*30) == 10Woah*hits blunt*
>>57059191Anon was counting the weakness, it's 60+3*30+20

>>57059195And people still call this game simplistic, maybe they're simple themselves
Ok after messing with Persian for a couple days, I think this card is pretty bad. 2 energy to attack can screw you over so bad, even Meowth's chip damage can help you OHKO stuff later in a game. But Persian? If you evolve it you gotta commit another energy if you want it to attack, and it's attack is arguably worse than Meowth. I lost a game because My persian was just sitting there against a moltres not doing any damage, i couldn't afford to give it a 2nd energy because my Machamp needed to get 3 energy asap. I would of won if i just had a baby Marowack instead which is one of the best stage 1 normal mons in the game.
thread is dying but I’ll post it here, apparently some Taiwanese PTCG pocket player is receiving a “Surprise gift” from the Pokémon company, did anyone also received something like that?
ok new cards whenI just can't pull new ones anymore even if I have like 20 left. Just add trading already so I can pull for different cards
for wonder picks, it is 1/5 chance or is it some set random % and picking a card is just for funsies
>>57059216the thing itself literally says it's 1/5 chance you dingdong
>>57059202>Would ofAnyway Persian is a meme. It's fun when it works but that's not often.
>>57059207Image
>>57059221I just wish it's secondary effect wasn't so randomly underwhelming. Like yeah forcing the opponent to discard a random card can make them auto lose, but it can also do nothing. It would be amazing if it was on 1 energy, but it's on 2 and you don't want to dump 2 energy on something that isn't tanky and doing very much damage. I just won a bunch of games just by replacing Persian with the Marowack line, 40 damage for 1 energy, 1 retreat cost and you do fighting damage which chunks pikachu and normal types. It's so underrated.
i've opened so many packs and sitll haven't gotten an xy speeddo i need to actually buy it from the shop
>>57059240yes dumb dumb!
>>57059240I think you might get one from the tutorials but I dunno it's been a while
>>57059207>>57059223da fug is this
>>57059240items don't drop from packs. if you haven't done them already, the advanced missions give you one of the item cards. If your still missing copies after that, you'll have to buy them in the store with tickets
>>57059213news on dorito popes show on fridaymonday for cards
>>57059240>>57059244Yes you get a free one from tutorial so you just need to buy one
>>57059240>>57059244
>>57059247go back, don't ever post that faggots here
>>57059246>items don't drop from packs.Fossils are items.

>>57059264So what's the guy's FC? You wouldn't post this without saving it first, right?
>>57059265What gets me is that y is nowhere near x, space, or s on the keyboard.
>>57059268Phone posting, it happens. You go back to correct a typo and somehow make it worse
What the hell man I just want to play wiggly sleep
will this game ever get tournaments or go to full fledge pokemon game with 6 lives
>>57059275I got you brother if trading isn't too Jewish, also have an onyx ready for any anon who will take one
Trading should just be equivalent rarity. 4 diamond for 4 diamond so I can shlep duplicate EXs.
>>57059275i have like 15 nigglypuff now i just want a 4th greninja and there's only 2 more chances tomorrow
>>57059288trading will never be viable cuz of smurfing and rerollers
>>57059288>>57059303Yup. Zero percent chance that trading is anything beneficial for players.
>>57059305It's an additional source of new cards. They would have to bend over backwards to make it less impactful than pack points.
>>57059305How bad could they really make it? I feel like even if they make you burn a card or two of the same rarity to even be allowed to trade, that would still be decent. I feel like even if you need to burn 5 cards of the same rarity to be given the chance to trade, it'd still be usable.
DON"T LISTEN TO >>57059321"S LIESthat is PROPAGANDA to legitimize keeping flairs out of the hands of free to players
>>57059321>>57059305leakers confirmed it>you trade 1 rarity card for 1 card of the same rarity equivalent>cooldown 1 week, less if you pay
>>57059330New card once a week isn't bad though.
>>57059190people have been talking about how to use red card for months. now with the event people are people actually bothered to learn how to use cards
What causes this?
>>57059330That's pretty decent.
>>57059343easy content, spragels is fine though. Im glad he has a plan b when unite dies
>>57059343this svreenshot has been like 90% of the posts in this thread since the event started. every fag thinks they have the secret knowledge and deck to get easy wins after they get their emblem

>everyone I'm facing now has the 5 streak medal>I don't
>4/5 wins with motres zard>3 fucking 0/3 on moltres in a rowHow is this not rigged
>>57059383Try the bug instead it might lower your deck weight
>>57059383an opp using moltres in my last game got tails on like 8 flips lol.
Thoughts on snorlax in surge? Or taueos over Khang in general?
>>57059393Snorlax is really bad. It's basically free set up for your opponent.I would say Kang over Tauros since it just needs one energy and the potential 60 damage is nice
>>57059387>bug to lower deck weightWhat bug is this, and what do you mean by lower deck weight? Is it bannable to exploit this bug? I did a quick search on YouTube and didn't see any videos mentioning any bugs or exploits.
>>57059397he means centiskorch
>>57059397If you put shittier cards in your deck, you face shittier decks/people.
>>57059393Snorlax can backfire if you're up against someone that wants to stall you like most high cost retreat walls. You pretty much always want to play it as an active pokemon and hope it gets killed. Or they could just keep it alive and charge their mons instead.Tauros is too expensive for a wall.Kangaskhan is honestly the best option for a cheap wall, since it can exert pressure with one energy so it's not a sitting duck like Snorlax.
>>57059397He's saying substitute zard for Centiskorch because it's theorized matchups are based on what pokémon you have in your deck. Zard being an EX is probably matching you against "stronger" decks while Centiskorch is a stage 1
>>57059397theres been shitposting about how the game changes the rng against you depending on your "deck weight", as in, if you have good cards in your deck the game knows some how and makes it harder for you to win
stuck on server authentication im finally out of the maze, see ya later suckers
>>57059401>>57059407This makes sense, thanks.>>57059404>>57059411I know I'm a little slow, but please don't gaslight me.
>>57059405Tauros is the middle option between snorlax and Kang
>>57059343Have you checked this general? A lot of posters are malding since they keep failing to get 5 consecutive wins
>>57059418I wasn't clear, but I was comparing him to Kangaskhan like the OP. Tauros has the same HP but needs 2 energy.
>>57059416>this makes sense>other people say the same thing>"don't gaslight me"Did you make this ironic on purpose?
>>57059416>I know I'm a little slow, but please don't gaslight me.I promise you I'm not. it really is just random shit someone came up with in this thread based on 3 matches they had. if you want to believe it then go for it. Im personally waiting for someone to post their results after playing 2k matches with multiple variations of the deck before I take this flat earth tier theory seriously
>>57059430Don't bully the cute anons
>>57059416I meant the deck weight thing as a joke but still try the bug you're already flipping with Moltres and he gets online sooner, only discards one energy an attack and costs one point on death
>5th match was a fucking hard counter to my teamI earned this 5 streak.
>>57059442Based. Fuck weezers.
>>57059442nice congrats. idk what the benefit of running golbat would be. maybe I just dont have the vision
>>57059442>paypigyou would have won anyway
>>57059450What does a cosmetic item have to do with getting a bad matchup?
>>57059453pay piggers get rigged queues
>>57059455Proofs?
>>57059446ooo waaa ooo I feel just like Koga E4
I solemly swear to start saving up hourglasses. Hopefully I can get at least 240 by next expac.
Faced some deck with only two Mewtwo EX and one Ralts line. Is this stupid?
I do this for you
>>57059482>points are more than double the winsif you're not making every second opponent concede early then your deck isnt belligerent enough
>>57059482Why
>>57059486not him but>trying to glean information from useless stats
>>57059486Pikachu ex makes them concede sometimes before the first turn. But I like playing around with goofy shit now that's less likely to win than the meta decks
>>57059488I'm autistic. Nice dubs
And now to burn the EX Pikachu deck and never think about it again.Anyways drop by /vpcai/ some time. I do requests on a whim. Peace!
>yet another game 5 ruined by someone who already has the emblemHonestly, fuck all of you.
>>57058469>there's a second half with all the actually good stuffoh shit I wouldn't have bought all those shitty backdrops if I knew that
>>57059009i don't see how they could invalidate a deck like mewtwo ex without extreme extreme powercreep
>>57059510Arbok EX
>>57059510Have you even looked at the physical card game?
>>57059510the deck wont be dead but mewtwo ex can definitely be powercrept out of the deck once a better psychic attacker is released.
Outplayed a pikajew player with the Koga deck. He couldn't get a single point. Funny stuff.
>>57059503Surely you can't see what emblems I have if I don't attach them? I don't put them on, so as to create a false sense of hope for the loser
>>57059554>false sense of hopeThere is no skill involved in getting the emblem, anon. If you don't have the emblem, people just think you're also trying to get the emblem.
XSalt
>>57059480I can imagine 1 Ralts so you have more chance to open with M2. It's the same deal with 1 Growlithe in recent Zard deck
Can you stack multiple packs if you don't open them? I opened a pack this morning and noticed the cooldown was like 9hrs 12minutes instead of the expected 12 hours
>have been chilling since I got 5 streaks on day 1>meanwhile shitters still cannot it, even though it takes no skillMaybe try increase your LUC stat lmao
>open game>open packs>close gameHonestly this is actually fun
>lose 6 coinflips in a single game>lose the game
>>57059586Maybe the game gives good packs to people who barely play to encourage them to stay longer, while people who keep opening the game to check Wonder Pick get worse pulls since they're already trapped in the cycle
>>57059510Mewtwo, Charizard, and Arcanine decks are actually Gardevoir and Moltres decks. Arcanine will go out of favor when 140HP becomes the norm, Mewtwo 170, and Charizard 220.
>>57059589And you obviously won the important starting coinflip of course.
>>57059601The only one that matters, of course.
>>57059584only 2 can stack unless you have the prem pass
>>57059586Fc?
>>57059590It’s all random. I’m a slave to the wonder pick cycle, yet I’ve had pretty decent pulls on M2 packs in the short time I’ve been pulling on them (2 immersives, lots of rares, several full arts). The only annoying thing is that I haven’t managed to pull a single ivysaur or kirlia in ~30 packs. Well that, and I’ve somehow pulled 4 full art Porygon in that time. Speaking of, what is that little dude doing in the art? Simulation theory?
>>57059603I'm confident in flipping heads!
>>57059615He's downloading all the snacks and it's illegal
>zebstrika 1 energy 30dmg any target>seadra 3 energy 50dmg any target BRAVO creatures!
>>57059615I got 5 fucking FA Pinsir but I wouldn't mind them being Porygon since it's my favorite Pokemon line
>>57059624Misty takes care of her fishes
Is it me or is koga deck complete dogshit? I brick genuinely 80% of my games because I'm constantly waiting for evolutions and basics that never show up
>>57059633This event really makes it feel like any deck you play bricks 80% of the time.
i have still not started this event :/
>>57059646I've been in the queue bullying people but I'm done for a while now go for it
>>57059626Except 50% of the times
>>57059633It is dogshit. The only reason it exists is to bully non-meta and occasionally steal wins from Mewtwo ex because of type advantage
>>57059633It's bad. People who are too lazy to reroll are just desperately looking for viable non-EX decks to build.
>>57059086>bisharp hits for 70Whoa
>spend all day trying to make kabutops work with cubone and mankey decks>always just end up with 1 of the 3 missing before kabutops can ever get on the field>give up and just try rape ape + machamp ex>8 wins in a rowGlad I got the wins but please oh please oh please let fossils be easier to use; they're pretty funI was gonna stop at 5 and let the 6th guy win, but he led with a crown pika EX and 2 star zapdos on the bench with the black play mat, so I had no choice but to rape him
Trades fucking when?I want to play a weezing deck but I lack flying tumors
>>57059706>WhoaWhy "whoa"? He's a worse Sandslash and a same Golduck. Unless you wanna factor in 2 vs 1 retreat cost as equal to 10 hp, but 90 vs 100 is pretty important because Pikachu
>>57059706Bisharp, Sandslash, Golduck and Electrode are the stage-1 2-energy 70 damage gang
>>57059706>>57059086I've been using Mawile instead in my steel deck, is Bisharp worth it?
>>57059707Based Pikaniggers deserve to be raped indeed
>>57059716At least Bisharp can further evolve unlike the others
>>57059722is mawile worth it??bisharp is worth it for pawniard because of the 30 damage or whatever but honestly i'd recommend a normal type to fill it out like jiggly/wiggly or pidgey line
>>57059734not right now he can't
>>57059735watch them release a new worse dark-type version of pawniard and bisharp to go with dark kingambit
>>57059742shit meant to quote >>57059734
>>57059742if they're going to release kingambit, they'd have to release mechanics or moves that care about points, which i think would be super cool but I think that pocket is a little too simplistic for that
Alright, which of you chucklefucks was trolling around the event cue with that Pika/Zap/Raichu deck? All I can say is gg. If I hadn't topdecked that XSpeed, I could've been in trouble.
>>57059735>is mawile worth it??It's got 70 HP and its attack can potentially rip away an energy. It's moderately useful in the absence of anything better.
I'm having a much better time playing Blastoise ex with Tentacruel than the stall variant and it seems like I'm winning even more too
how many thanksbux can i get a day from playing versus?
>>57059769I think its 6 overall with all thanks
FUCK WHALES

>>57059792I've been doing that too and whiffing EVERYTHING

This is the ugliest card in the game, say something nice about it.
>>57059840The diglets are cute don't be mean
>>57059840It's really not, and Komiya is one of the most prolific artists for the TCG. He did the incredible full art Golbat in this game.
