Despite what we all speculated, Genetic Apex pack points do NOT carry over into Mythical Island. ITS OVER.
>>57079451How do we know?
>goldeen’s move is flop Peak.
>>57079453https://app-ptcgp.pokemon-support.com/hc/en-us/articles/39080370063001-Can-pack-points-be-used-on-all-booster-packs
Is it dropping on the 16th or the 17th? the dataminers said 16th, should I stay up today or stay up tomorrow?
>>57079451That's been known even before the new set was revealed.
>>57079451Nobody speculated this and it was explicitely said in the game that these points only count towards genetic apexif you believed otherwise you have some kind of learning disability that stopped you from learning how to read
>>57079458Depends. Is the schedule in JST or not?
remember that human beatboxer Hikakin? this is him now.
starmie ex decks might actually go fucking crazy with that new vaporeonStarmie ex can retreat for free and vaporeon can switch its energy to a second starmie ex, allowing you to not have to trade kills with them and pivot to an healthier attacker
>>57079458Two resets from now>>57079466yes
To be fairPeople thought A1 points would work with A1a points
so you guys are telling me to use my pack point now?
>>57079470I was told that I was "living in Christmas land" when I said this.
>>5707946824k cards and he doesn’t have the 5win emblem still??
>>57079475they're not going anywherethey'll only disappear in the event that genetic apex stops being available as a whole, which would only happen in the case of a rotation I assume
>tfw only 72 hourglassesIf you can define yourself with the words "restraint", "self control", or "willpower", then I envy you. Also explode.
>>57079470The new Vaporeon is win-more in a Starmie/ArticunoEX, it'll just make your opener more inconsistent.If I'm gonna test Vaporeon, it'll just be in a StarmieEX/Vaporeon deck.
>>57079475No because you will keep your points until the expension rotate out. And maybe you will be able to trade missing card when when trade will be available. So keep your points until trading is available so you can use them for the right cards at this moment.
You just know
5 consecutive wins is impossible, I want to dieI hope all the faggots who got their 5 wins but insist on raping everyone dieAs soon as I get mine I'm conceding nonstop, Idgaf this shit fucking sucks
>>57079487I conceded 30 times as soon as the event began, then I got my 5 wins, then I gatekept with "fun" decks.
Sorry for being a slow and retarded, but I need to open 100 more packs to get 500 more points, right?
>>57079475You don't need to completely clean out the points, at the same time realistically you won't be opening any new Genetic Apex packs after A1a comes out then A2 comes out at the end of JanSo you won't really grind up the points to save for anything
>>57079481>tfw you accidentally fat fingered and opened 10 packs instead of 1I would have north of 300 if I hadn't done that. I'm at a measly 180 right now. I feel you, brother.
>>57079481>72 hour glasses>casually drops 20 bucks of disposable income on gold barsNothing parmesan, famalam.
>>57079500Correct. 5 points per pack
i flipsometimes i pikachu
>>57079481I'm used to taking my time to complete decks in the Yugioh games so I'll be fine here
>4 wins>5th game starts>I go first>opponent opens PikaEX with a full bench>
>>57079512This is probably the best way to go about this game, it';s not overly competitive that you need meta shit on day 1and whaling in this game sucks (or hard hoarding)
FUCK PIKACHUDS
I hate pikaniggers Show me the best pika buster deck you could possibly assemble
>>57079514>4 wins>5th game starts>I go second>opponent play Artikuno and rolls 5 heads with MistyMisty is the worst designed card in the game
>>57079516There's no reason to even be competitive in this game right now aside from wanting the 5 win streak emblem.
>still missing normal snorlax and dragonite for mewI'm gonna kill this jew nosed psychic and diabetic dragon
>>57079509Is it even worth ripping 100 (free or otherwise) packs at this point? I'm looking for my first Misty, Erika, Sabrina, and Rainbow Moltres. I would have to use my 3-a-day packs on Apex Charizard instead of Mythical Island all the way up until the release of the next full set, right?
>>57079532only if you really want a gold crown or 2 full arts
Sorry bro, I got my badge after 11 wins. Need some more wins for the stardust mission. Broke your streak? Too bad, loser.
>>57079541ERM... You can do that in normal versus bro... Go bully beginner players!
>>57079481the game gets you because the pack screen stays up after you open your daily pack
its so easy to control yourself, im p2w paypig chad and i used every hourglasses i got the first week of launch and only spent a max of 60 dollars and from their i have been saving hourglasses ans spwnt 0 moneyif you have no will or self control then you are a retard
>>57079550>ans spwntand spent*heh i just woke up
>>57079550>i only spent 60 dollars on digital cardboard
are they gonna release another card today like they released the pokeflute yesterday
>>57079540I don't really care about buying gold crowns, I really just want to buy two full arts. My biggest issue is we don't know how trading works, otherwise I could just potentially wait it out and trade my spare Immersives for people's 2* FAs.
>>57079481I used all mine too. I feel stupid now
>>57079555seethe lmao
Do we know how many cards in the new set?
>>5707956580~ base cards they said
>>57079563truly you are a beacon of willpower
>>57078874>192/226>neozelanderhell no, my weak nz account looks like this>>57079451We already knew that since pre-release. The game outright says that a different expansion means a different pack point pool.Anyone who said otherwise or is surprised today was sniffing some hopium
>>57079565"over 80", of which there are 5 EXes, five new Trainer cards, and an unnamed number of immersives.
surely they wouldn't have the balls to put 5 exes in a miniset right
There's a chance we know about all new cards around next resetMasters never updates itself on the same day as a new event>>57079581Current packs already have 5 ex
>>57079481I'm at 60. Maybe if I level up by tomorrow I'll be able to get more.
>>57079581so far we know of mew, aerodactyl, pidgeot, celebi and 1 unknown electric that are all getting ex versions, but we've only seen the first 2
Kinda random but I hope we get some cool electric type like toxtricity
>>57079601Zeraora EX or Jolteon EX would be peak.
Why do I keep getting empty heart gifts. Give me my tickets wtf
>>57079611you can only get 5 tickets a day from any renewable source
>>57079611you can only receive 5 tickets from gifts a day, and since people can't see if you've already gotten 5 already or not, you'll just keep getting them
Alright I have enough of this game, I'm gonna quit and uninstall. Is it possible to give your account to someone else and how so? Didn't link an account to it yet.Or should I wait for the trading update (soon) to trade my rare cards for cheap?
>>57079610based Zeragods
>>57079529I got 3 ex mewtwos and not a single pidgeotto bro. Getting those final missing cards is a joke
>>57079612>>57079613Ah this sucks.Thanks anons.I've been exchanging likes with people on my friendlist, didn't know the battle hearts had a limit.
>>57079614Wait. You'll be trading to your heart's delight any day now.
Whats the website people use to buils and share decks quickly
Who wants to trade me a full art Snorlax
>>57079640I have 6 and not a single ditto
Where is my puppy? I want to one shot my enemies with Aura Sphere.
>>57079657>aura sphereNo way they are actually using game move names
>Frog for Genetic Apex>Snek for Mythical IslandWho's our next random starte we're getting for Johto?
Going from Staryu to Starwe here
>>57079677fire monke
>>57079668Fine then, "Aura ____" what?
>>57079698aura orb
>>57079698BLAST
>>57079706No that sucks.
>>57079668several other cards already do
>>57079481I'm at almost 500 and I'm pretty sure it won't be enough to get anything good, so don't worry.
>>57079698aura tempest
>>57079710you could abbreviate it to aurb
>>57079500I think you get more points for opening packs that contain full arts or crowns or whatever. Or was that for dust?
>>57079698Aura load
>>57079635>trust me bro
>>57079719bretty sure that's just dust, the most useless resource in the game
>>57079713Name 12

>>57079714I'm also over 500 but am afraid this "mini" set is still gonna have like 8 different EX in one pack making it impossible to pull a playset of a specific one. No way is Dena gonna make anything easy.
>new vaporeonIf they ever increase number of points it will be broken.
>>57079757do you people not read what the actual fuck
holy shit KEKpikaturd whore lost one zapdos (2 zapdos ex, 2 pikaturds ex) and bailedThe exegguCOCK can NOT be stopped
>>57079757I think there were... 4 ex? And definitely there's only one pack. Enjoy getting the same 5 commons every time you open it. No, you're not going to get a playset of any ex.
y tho
Don't know about you guys but I'm not spending a fucking PENNY of shine dust until we know how trading is gonna work. If my extra pokemon turn out to actually be worth something but I ground them up to make a stupid whoosh effects I would be enraged
>>57079520>expensive fuck you Pikachu deckMachamp EX>cheap and actually good vs other decks tooBlaine deck. Ninetails + Blaine oneshots PikaEX, and also can't be oneshot back unless they have a Giovanni. Get one set up on your bench and it's a guaranteed 2 points after Pika kills anything
>>57079862>and also can't be oneshot back unless they have a GiovanniNinetales has 90hp, not 100. You're thinking about Rapidash, but Rapidash needs two turns of Blaines to kill one Pikachu ex.
>>57079876You are correct
>>57079854I already ground up all the dupes from the Lapras event. But then again, I'm pretty sure trading will be fucked.
>>57079854Shinedust has nothing to do with training you retard
>>57079884>with trading
>>57079884It does. More shinedust = less cards to trade.
>>57079884You have to exchange dupes to use it dummie
>>57079841At least Porygon's ability is decent and a nice thing to have once we start getting Porygon2 and Z. Meanwhile I have 5 fucking FA Pinsir
Still 200 pack points away from full art waifu Sabrina. Do I just keep opening Genetic Apex for the next 20 days and ignore the Mew set?
The game would be universally better off without EX cards, change my mind /vp/The non-EX variants would actually be used, more cards would be usable, there would be more deck diversity, more room for unusual strategies, not just hooga booga let's put 4 energies on this EX card ASAPIt's not like the game would sell less either, they could make normal stage 2 as rare and expensive as EX cards and people would still need them to build their decks
>>57079945if you open 1 GA pack per day you get 200 points in 40 days. assuming the next set is released towards the end of january and not the beginning you should be able to just split 1 pack each and do both by then. not accounting for any hourglass spent on MI
>>57079947This is why we made the vpnx meta. I’m still gonna run a tournament in that format, stuff came up in my life so I had to delay it, but it will happen.
>lose 4 games in a row due to no hitting on marowak>"fuck this stupid fucking deck im never playing it again">win my last one through non stop double hitsMAN I LOVE GAMBLING
Figured I’d as the bros here.What game for switch is best, I’ve run through Scarlet and Violet, what is the next best game to play?
Man, I'm really not gonna get Arcanine Ex before the release of the mini pack... I rolled on like 5 wonder picks during the event and about 10 outside of it, still nothing, of course exclusively opening pikachu packs during that too.My 226th card and it's a 500 cost one lmao fuck you
>>57079967PLA
>>57079967>pokemon switch gameewww
>>57079968Game is rigged, don’t even bother buying it. Just buy full art waifu trainers. Those will be worth a ton in the future.
>>57079967hollow knight
>>57079967PLAp is pretty good, I enjoyed SV but it’s still trashy, and I’d avoid SwSh.
>>057079485FilteredFuck you
>>57079967Pokken
>>57079487>As soon as I get mineWell, good luck, you only have today.
I'm gonna spend 500 pack points on moltres ex next week. I seriously can't play any fire deck without a second copy and charizard packs are bullshit
>>57079514>4 wins>next opponent is low-leveled>shit deck>goes firstSkill issue
>>57079947I agree design wise but meta wise blaine would be really retarded
>>57079996do you need to play fire decksjust wait for trading, I have some extras 4 u *copium*
>>57079971>>57079983Is PLA a game you can nuzlock? I don’t like botw or monster hunter, is it a lot like those two? I just want classic Pokémon battles.
>>57080017>I don’t like good gamesOk, anyway it’s nothing like monster hunter, and the only similarities between BotW and this is that it’s an open world game, and there’s vertical traversal means.
>>57080017PLA is the best Pokémon game because its battle system was specifically designed to not be nuzcuckable
>>57080017You can, but the battle system makes it a lot harder to avoid casualties. It's neither classical battles or monster hunter, except the pouch throwing segments I guess.
God I swear if trading is stupid I am done with this game. I should be able to give up a single copy of something I own if it’s for a much more valuable card.
>>57080027I’d bet my entire net worth that you’ll only be able to trade “extra” copies. I’d also bet- equally confidently- that it’ll be restricted to same rarity, same set trading only
>>57079474truetrue
>>57079474What the fuck do you mean? I can’t spend apex card points on a different set? Says who?
I just want a trade up option broI think 3 immersives is fair for a gold3 1 stars would be fair for a 2 star FA
Trading will only be available as Wonder Trade
Second time ditto has saved my ass in a charizard mirror match by using the opponent's inferno dance. >>57080025What is PLA?
I hope someone is willing to trade me my FA Mewtwo for a FA Arcanine, it's my one chase card and it's been avoiding me despite opening 3 Pika packs every day for weeks
>>57079474And they thought wrong
I'm the worst card
I sure hope someone will trade me a FA Misty for my golden Mewtwo haha
Another immersive , f2p bros I can't stop winning
Who's the best partner for Golem? Finally pulled a second one yesterday, and a full art Brock today.
>change region to japan>better rng>better time zone>get stuff faster as a european
>>57080112can be good with sandslashes. probably the most solid fighting type for early game while you build shit on the bench
>>57080116Okay
>>57080122your 5 wins in a row sister?
1 day left for the 5 wins in a row emblem to become L E G A C Yreminder that this is the ultimate skill check emblem>good at deck building>good at rng>dedicated even though its a coinflip gameif you dont have it... go fuckin play pokemon go or something. go get the weezing in the auschwitz camp
How much are you planning to spend once the new set comes out? I'm thinking about 20€, that combined with the glasses I've saved should be about 40 packs.
>>57080132
>>57080139I've been pondering long and hard about it and I'm thinking...0 dollars...
>>57080139about 0 Dollars American
>>57080139€0 (not 0€, I don't know what kind of fuckwit language writes it that way)
>>57080139das harz iv muss geil sein
>>57080139$0 and I'll still beat you
>>57080077I would be exceedingly surprised if we're going to be able to trade normal exsstar rarities are out of the question
Nice.
>>57080153Still don't have a single immersive
>>57080153how much did that cost you anon
>>57080157tfw 4 imersive and 1 crown gold in 1099 F2P CARDS
>>57080153only 12 hourglasses?
do you think the new set will make my mewtwo deck obsolete? It's the only meta deck my f2p ass has been lucky enough to pull
>>57080162I hope so.
>>57080160He will get that, and he WILL enjoy.
>>57080158in a reroll i once got 3 immersives within the first 10 packs. rng is a sadistic bastard.
>>57080162No. If anything Mew ex will make it better.
>>57080162yeah volcarona decks are going to eat it for breakfast
>>57080139I might activate my 2-week free premium pass depending on what the cards are like
>>57080139I'm just gonna throw a 10 pack roll at it
>>57080158I only bought gold for cosmetics, plus the pass. It was mostly luck.
I finally hit 1250 pack points, should I use them to craft a brock and get all 9 FA trainers, a second misty, a second koga, a second rainbow wiggly, a second rainbow articuno, or a second rainbow zapdos?
>>57080172nidoqueen line + nidoran male only
>>57080196Yes
>>57080112https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/6754d90895f729096d71962e/player/wikijippo/decklistThis guy just top cut a 1600 person tournament.
>>57080196Second waifu
>>57080196get rainbow gengar
>>57080203This is a bad deck
>>57080203I think Marowak EX is severly underrated. It's an absolute insane card
>>57080124Done on day 1, tranny
>>57080211Yes, 25% of the time. But another 25% of the time it's the worst card in the game
>>57080211Marowak's problem is that it just loses to zard, it fucks pika and m2 with ease and comes with an instant win condition.
>>57080139One month of premium and what ever the deal is for about 100 gold. This will keep me ahead of f2p while only having to open the game a couple times a day, in between real games, work and getting pussy.
So /vp/ are you spending your pack points on the cards you weren't able to obtain normally, or holding onto them until trading comes out a few weeks before EOL?Me I think I'll use them to get at least Exeggutor EX and Victreebel. They're the only grass types I'm missing, aside from vanilla Venusaur, but I have the promo one so it doesn't matter.
>>57080207Both of my Rainbow Gengars are already flaired so it's not an option.>>57080205Yeah probably huh, I just really wanted at least one brock.
>>57080148Based
>>5708021125% of the time it works every time
>>57080225I used them on a second FA Sabrina because I'm a coomer
>>57080211Starmie trades 10 hp for 10 more damage, no retreat cost, and consistency.
>>57080203>this deck went 7-3 against a mountain of metawhat the fuck is this? my brain is too small for this shit. dome fossils???ninetails is not this good to be building an entire deck around
>>57080227Brock will pay itself back with the 24 hourglasses you'll get from the kanto gym leader achievement bro
>>57079967They’re all bad. That being said:>Sword/ShieldMain campaign is boring as sin, and the battle gimmick is the most overpowered (and thematically goofy) we’ve had to date. These games seemed popular with compfags due to the way dynamax interacts with double battles; however, that ship has sailed now that the games have aged out. DLC is an improvement on the base game, but that really isn’t saying much.>Brilliant Diamond / Shining PearlWorst remakes to date. The only way I think you’ll have fun here is if you are either a massive fan of the original Diamond / Pearl or you enjoy grinding for ribbons (which was gutted in other Switch games). Games are faithful in being barebones remakes, but they also make some bizarre choices like having affection mechanics be mandatory.>LegendsIt’s…ok. Biggest problems I have the with game are its insistence on involving you with the story (which is a boring isekai) via cutscenes and the battle mechanics. Battling sucks, so you’ll probably try to avoid it wherever possible. It’s kind of neat that you can do that, I guess. >Let’s GoToo easy. Not enough reason to play the games (ribbons, new mon, etc). My daughter likes to play co-op at times, so there’s value if you plan on playing with very young children. Solo? I wouldn’t recommend it.
>>57080225Currently holding onto them. I have enough to get the mew but not enough to get something relevant past that. I’m fine with that, normal art trainers are better than most of the full arts, and I have FA of my favorite already anyway- Erika
>>57080236ninetails is that good, criminally underplayed card>>57080240yeah ill get misty, actually maybe ill just wait since wiggly could be really good soon.
>>57080236It’s just luck and good piloting, anon. Don’t let retards here gaslight you into thinking any of the top cut decks are necessarily great. >what the fuck is this?5 basics. Two of which can stall and are needed for the win con. Two of which immediately apply reasonable pressure. One is draw power. None of the mon provide more than one point if knocked out. Fossils protect win cons on what will often be a small bench.
>>57080236>>57080259im gonna play this shit right now and report back
>>57080259Why use 2 fossils instead of another meowth and a ditto or something?
What are all these filtered posts?
>>57080265Just 3-0'd a Charizard EX deck and even got a use out of the fossil this deck is based>>57080273They have no retreat cost and don't pollute your basic pool for pokeballs/first turn. Makes it easier to get to your ninetails found and ready which is ultimately the win condition of the deck
>>570801390 (ZERO) Dolluropeeuans
>>57080273You’re guaranteed a basic in your starting hand, and fossils don’t interfere with that. They serve a purpose, but they’re also deck filler that help with consistency in getting the basics you need.
>>57080284Ah gotcha. Thanks for explaining
child ex(s)
>>57080273Fossils can be discarded, which can prevent getting sabrina'd in late game
>>57080236Do you use the fossils to stall or Sabrina bait?
Is there any reason to reapply sleep with jigglypuff on each turn if the enemy is still asleep? I suppose not since it's only coin flips that decide when the pokemon wakes up?
>>57079487I tried out >>57078245 and immediately got four wins.All four opponents could have been running a Pikachu deck (according to binders in their showcases) but were fielding something worse.We're in real shitter hours. The pots calling the kettle black, I have the Mewtwo deck and I wans't using it, but the point stands. Just go win 5 times.
Why am I such a failure?I hate myself.
Waaah I can't win in a children's card game my life is over
What time PST/EST will the new pack drop? Does anyone know?>>57080321How much did you spend/did you get the emblem?
>>57080300Sabrina bait. If you put them on your bench then they can't force your Ninetails out and kill it when you don't want them to. I also used it last game to pull out a Farfetchd that was about to die. The fossil takes the fall and that Farfetchd came back to deal a fat 40 to an EX mon that Ninetails then followed up on for the win. Very cool deck where you are smacking your opponent basically every turn because of such low energy costs
>>57080300It’s not really Sabrina “bait”. It’s more of a way around Sabrina.>key mon alone on my bench>opponent Sabrinas and KOs my win conA fossil could be sacrificed in this scenario to protect the win con. As a bonus, your win con might get a “free” switch in once the fossil is knocked out.>early game>opponent uses Sabrina to slow my momentumIf you have a fossil on the bench, you can simply discard it and bring in the mon you want in the active slot. Saves you extra energy or an x speed.
I have never fought a moltres fag who doesn't have a second moltres on the benchEvery time Makes it impossible to sabrina anything they set up
>>57080327Should be 12/16 10pm PST as the pack releases on 12/17 in Japan
my wr with blaine must be like 80% or something
>>57080324Correct.>>570803270/No.
>>57080236Ninetales can one shot Pikachu ex for only two energy with a Blaine boost. Outside of an high roll of Marrowak ex I don't think there is another mon that can do it for so few energy.
kek dragonite delt 200 damage to a vulpix when there was a 5 energy charizard and a moltes next to itI'm a failure my life is over
To any Vegas gamblers, if you want my full art slot machines, I want your rainbow birds. Help me out, I'll help you out.
>>57079481just dont be an idiot and waste your hourglasses in this mini expac when the real big one comes in january anon.
>>57080355>playing DragoniteAnon....
>>57080353Primape although that requires a hit
>>57080353Marshadow soon.
Aerodactyl ex is obscenely strong. People really underestimate how often basic pokemon you want to evolve is in your active spot. It kills the third turn evos like weezing, rapidash, frogadier etc depending on xspeeds and benched pokemon.
>>57080355trust the plan dragonite has for us all
All I'm looking forward to these days is the 12 hour free pack pull only to be disappointed and awaiting the next one
What will they do for Christmas? If they can't do better than 3 pulls I might go back to Granblue.
>>57079487>>57079493But ypur winrate bro...
Imagine having the badge and playing pikajew in the event battles knowing some people are still struggling to get it.
>Traumatized by Whale teams playing gym events in Duel so I don't touch the streak win event until it's halfway over>Go 5/5 over three days using Venu/Eggs once and the rest with shameless Pika useI understand the secret now: just be evil.
>>57079511I literally just beat your ass in the event queue. Name is HezbolahGaming
>>57080369Personally, I like how bad it is (in theory) for Weezing. That card is criminally underhated. Only good thing it ever did for me was shitting all over M2 decks.
>>57080369>It kills the third turn evos like weezing, rapidash, frogadierit absolutely does not, you utter fucking retardread the goddamned card: you can't evolve into an EX and only not into an EX
Chances of me getting a misty ex for one of these?
>>57080380I got my 5-wins playing Mewtwo ex Weezing and Weezing pretty much carried the whole thingI think the opponents were too occupied with the scary Mewtwo in the back that they kept making bad switches with Weezing slowly crippling everything in front
>>57080383>Your opponent can't play any Pokémon from their hand to evolve their Active PokémonWhere the fuck do it mention "only EX"?
>>57079854Literally the only card worth flairing is Poke Ball for the poke ball flair; I feel like a dragon sitting on my hoard of shine.
>>57080383>you can't evolve into an EX and only not into an EXWat? If you’re telling that guy he’s retarded for assuming he can have Aero ex on the board by turn 2, I’ll give you that.The effect is:>Your opponent can’t play any Pokemon from their hand to evolve their Active PokemonNo further requirements / restrictions.
>>57080389I believe it. Weezing is insanely good for such a splashable card. The singular drawback of the card is invalidated by Koga. It’s nuts.
>>57080396Yeah I'm retarded, no idea why I thought aero was a basic instead of needing to be evolved so yeah stopping a turn 3 evo with him is literally impossible
>>57080369You mean fourth turn evos. Aerodactyl ex isn't a basic so the earliest you can get it out is turn three.
>>57080394>You can flair itemsI didn't know damm. How many balls required?
>>57080394The hearts flair on the waifu cards is good too.
>>57080406do the dudes get heart flair too
>>57080065Peoples Liberation Army
>>57080407idk I never flaired them
>>57080383>read the goddamned card: you can't evolve into an EX and only not into an EX???
>>57080108F2P Kings stay winning
>>57080139$800-$900 probably. Depends on how much of my Christmas bonus is left after I get a quote for my in-ground pool and find a nice violin for my daughter.
>>57080416Retarded levels of luck
>>57080139>nothing>zip>zero>nada>negative>nahI'm enjoying the free game.
>>57080405Depends on your flair route. >>57056994
>>57080422I didn't even reroll accounts. I just figured "I'll play the game and get the cool stuff eventually"
>>570803840. you will need more than 2 copies of something to trade it.
>>57080384Zero. Misty ex doesn't exist
>>57079506the game forces you to use hourglasses before gold bars on packs :^)
>>57080441Ex Supporters new Meta
shit pack pull but at least i got the tentacruel i wanted from wonder pick immediately after
please buff my boy onix, that 4 star retreat cost is atrocious.
>wonder pick 2 new kinglers in a rowKO time
>>57080464he's a heavy guy
>Misty EX>Flip a coin until you get 3 Tails in a row>For every Heads, place 1 Water energy on a Water Pokemon
>>57080469for you
>>57080475does it give your opponent a point when you use it
>>57080464On the plus side, you can hold Onix in hand for as long as you need because he doesn’t evolve (yet). Don’t give your opponent an early game Sabrina target because you’re fucked if Onix goes in without energy.
>>57080475Dear Lord, no. >flip 2 tails,>flip 9 heads>flip 1 tails>flip 3 headssee how broken that is?Misty should be>Flip a coin 5 times.>>For every Heads, place 1 Water energy on a Water Pokemon
>>57080475What's the goal here? Make it MORE busted?
I only have male full arts
>>57080488n/m. I just saw the EX on your post. Still way too OP though.
>>57080488>Flip a coin 5 times.That's still obscene. It should be 3 at max.
>>57080482It's the opponent's choice, but if they accept the point the screen is blanked for them for 3 turns and their hand is shuffled>>57080488>>57080489Yes lol I was being hyperbolic if it wasn't obvious
>>57079445does the new set make the previous one unavailble? That would be some fucking bullshit
please buff my boy cloyster, 3 energy for a 70 attack is too little
>>57080501>That's still obscene. It should be 3 at max.3 doesn't give enough energy to use any pokemon from a really good flips.5 is enough energy for any mon in the game. which is more in line with what the card is for a one use supporter card.
>>57080506>does the new set make the previous one unavailble?No. But you have to choose what set you're pulling from (and assumed what you can do missions for).They won't start removing sets from the game for a while yet.
>>57080490Yumejoshi's delight.
>>57080501This it should be water energy moltres on a supporter and just that.
>>57080527if it was a water moltres then why not just add a water moltres card to the decks?It's a supporter, one use and therefore should be a smidge stronger than a card that can give energy every turn.
I love Volcarona, but I don't want to use Moltres, who is probably gonna be mandatory for it
>>57080514Upwards of 3 energy for free outside of the normal energy curve is also more than enough for every single water pokemon in the game to attack on turn 1. There are not enough Supporters to cheat energy in other types to justify this card in it's current state.
>misty should be betterthe shit you have to read in this thread
Misty should be better
>>57080533>Upwards of 3 energy for free outside of the normal energy curve is also more than enough for every single water pokemon in the game to attack on turn 1. There are not enough Supporters to cheat energy in other types to justify this card in it's current state.while i agree misty is OP and unique, i think if you severely nerf it like reducing it to only 3 energy it would piss off the player base even more that it already would. 5 energy keeps it a strong, balanced card and distinct from all the other energy gatherers.or they could release the same kind of card for all the other energy types.
>>57080355That's what you get for playing the roulette deck in a coin toss game
>>57080550> i think if you severely nerf it like reducing it to only 3 energy it would piss off the player base even more that it already would.Good. The playerbase are all subhuman gambling addicts.
>>57080558>Good. The playerbase are all subhuman gambling addicts.man, we're all addicted to pokeslop.
>>57080532Moltres will be mandatory for all fire decks for the forseeable future so lol
should i swap grimer and muk out of the arbok and weezing deckfarfetchd/potions instead or something? the slimes just lose momentum
>>57080568Making Charmander have it's single attack remove it's energy was such a retarded decision.
>>57080532>>57080568This is why one of the things I focused on early on was chasing the high rarity Moltres arts since I like Fire and it seemed like a core engine card to be reused for several expansions. Even if we get new better Fire support you'd still run Moltres alongside the support to increase your consistency anyway for the time being. That would happen until we get so many Fire support cards that it'd push Moltres out for being non-optimal, which I don't see happening for at the minimum close to a year since we're currently at just 1 with Moltres itself.
>>57079454I keep telling people, just run 2x Dragonite, Eevee, Jolteon, Vaporeon (1x Misty).I got my 5 streak with that deck.
>>57080568When Moltres falls out of relevance it's time to stop playing. That's a powercreep barometer if I've ever seen one.
>>57079947Expensive, overpowered cards are good because... they just are, OK?!?!
>>57080574I have experimented with replacing it with Heliolisk, Persian, and Farfetchd and found all to be unsatisfactory.Koga Deck is just always gonna be very predictable unless the new expansions can remedy it.
>>57080574> the slimes just lose momentumThat's true but it also give you a big hitter you may need in some match up like Venusaur or Charizard.But people started using Wigglytuff ex with promo Jigglypuff instead , they serve the same role but are easier to retreat.
>>57080605would be cool if there was another real solid Dark to slide in theregrimers 3 retreat cost fucks it all up. i think its promojiggs and wigg ex that people are running
>>570801390$
>>57080594Having the option to blow out water decks early game with Jolteon is such a fucking blessing.
>>57080139Dunno, I'm getting all the normal cards for sure, and then hunt for FA if I like any.
hear me out, super energy removal but it only works on EX pokemon.
who starmie abuser here
>>57080236Ninetales is that good, but having only 2 cards that can do anything good in your deck is not consistent enough, unless you are an absolute luckshitter and always draw what you need at the exact moment you need it.
how would double colorless energy work in this game?>supporter>add a colorless energy to a pokemon that you already added energy to this turn
>>57080622>always draw what you need at the exact moment you need it.Wait you can't do that? Seems like a skill issue.
hear me out, EX pokemon but when they're knocked out your game uninstalls itself and deletes your account
>>57080631my f2p deck has no pathetic cards, kaibabut it does have THIS*reveals Misty*
>>57080628>how would double colorless energy work in this game?pull 2 energy from the energy zone.
Misty is just too underpowered and needs buffs, but having 2 color decks have a semi-random energy order is too strong. Am I getting this right?
>finish long term goal deck>play with it for a good bit and have fun seeing everything I worked toward in action together>now feeling bored of it after several gameshuh, well then... what now
>>57080643>huh, well then... what nowNew set Tuesday.
>>57080643Story of my life with these card gamesIt's like Monster Hunter, the process of theorycrafting and collecting the cards/materials are what keep me going. Once the deck is done I have fun with it for a short while before trying to find a new deck to work on
Man I'm so excited for the new setI love Volc and SerperiorAnd Dedenne will be fun to have to rape Moltres/Articuno (assuming the new electric EX is also fun, not running pikachu)
>>57080653theorycrafting and messing around a build calculator has always been more fun than actually playing the game itself for most games for me as well
in the missions tab for this event, how many wins does it go up to for the shine dust reward? is it 15?
>>57080646Tuesday?? I thought it was tomorrow. FFS
>>57080628I would just make it so that you can select it from the deckbuild menu, and if you do you have a x% chance to get a double colorless when you do roll the colorless energy
>>57080673Depends on time zone. As always, west coast fags get it a more convenient time than the rest of us.
>>57080241Thank you for this. I liked platinum, are diamond and pearl that far off from that? It’s weird they didn’t just make a platinum remake.
>>57080490That was me for the first month and then in the last week I've somehow got 2 of Misty from my daily packs while I was chasing an Arcanine ex. Have faith, they will bless you with a girlfriend.
>>57079517Based Weezing/Arbok bro
>win game>end screen>card of the game is a card that did not get played that game
There is a deck I didn't see a lot of people talk about for the new set, but Lilligant/Dhelmise seems like something that could work. Dhelmise has a two retreat cost but the set also introduce Leaf that reduce the cost of retreat by two. It's probably not a tier 0 deck or even tier 1, but it's something I want to try.
>>57079677The fire rabbit
Holy shit bros I finally got it. I now have 2 of every single card for play. Thank you ScredCo, if you’re here, I wonderpicked it from your pack. Missed this dude like 7 times in wonder picks. Also>made a deck and used it in battle>it wrecks shit on turn 2 >win 3 games in a row Jolteon is so fire bros, or should I say, it’s electric.
>>5708069190 damage isn't really worth all that trouble building aroundThe funny stuff are the huge potential damage guys like Lickitung and Golurk
Post em.
>>57080691I’m really hoping Celebi saves Grass type.
>>57080701>2 of every card for playLmao imagine spending 500 dollars to play a children’s card game on your phone retard lol
>>57080691Is that Pokemon a fucking anchor? What the fuck?!?
>>57080753It's algae on an anchorGhost/Grass in the games
>>57080753it's seaweed but for some reason it's always drawn to anchors for every member of its species
What's the ultimate degenerate gambler deck to make your opponent and yourself seethe?
>>57080574I dont use any pokemon other than arbok and weezing in my deck and it has had decent success. you can run 2x of xspeed and a gio which I think helps more than any pokemon would
>>57080753I don't even remember that nigga, must be Gen 7
>>570807662x articuno ex, 2x of misty, and then 16 other trainers of your choice
>>57080753wait until you see the crumbled-weed-mon, or whatever its called
>>57080753>Is that Pokemon a fucking key ring? What the fuck?!?
>5 wins ends todayoh wow they didnt give people much time at all for this one lol
A fucking ice cream.
>>57080490Based. Steel sharpens steel, King.
>>57080691I considered this, but this "combo" just seems like more work than it's worth. Lapras is only playable because Misty exists. If you're gonna build something with Lilli, you've got better targets than Dhelmise.
>>57080789Why is it so popular? What's the appeal of food mons?
>>57080753we also have magnets, ice cream, cream, candles, teapots, dildos, and washing machine pokemon
THEY'RE POSESSED OBJECTS, i AIN'T GOTTA EXPLAIN SHIT
this game is kinda easy since its mostly kids and idiots who will just cast every card in their hand with no regard for playing around cards like Sabrina or Blaine, they just potion without seeing if it will actually put their pokemon outside of lethal range, don't play around on board effects, etc.need a ranked mode so I can find good players.
>>57080809I rarely match with opponents who misplay.
>>57080809Why are you pretending that this game takes skill when it's luck based both for pulling cards and in-game?
>>57080809ok
>>57080809You don't need to find a good player to put you in a corner, the RNG will do that for you anyway
147/150, I can almost taste it
>>57080809No thanks. Let it remain a casual game.
>>57080816>autist getting filtered by rng in a card gameclassic
>>57080824>try on 1 stamina WP today where there was a 40% chance of getting a new card>get a card I already had 10 of
Beating pikachu with a wiggly/koga deck in a match that takes forever was more fun than any experience I've had playing the t1 decks
>>57080786one of the reasons everyone was so in a hurry to finish this thing.
>>57080825Love my casual game where it takes a grand to get the highest rarity of card
>>57080728Sure
Worst card in the fucking gameFucking moltres is better than this trashBut garde gets to be the most consistent energy gen and on a solid bodyGrimer should be at 1 retreat Basic EX should never exist
>>57080816its like poker, the worst player in the world can beat the best player in the world some small percentage of the time, anyone with an above 50% win rate is decently good and anyone with an above 55% is great, etc.
>>57080849Yeah, but it's not mandatory for battling or winning is it?
>>57080860that card was never designed to leave the bench.
>>57080860magnezone will make you eat those words
this game actually does not even have that much luck in it it's just very overt cause its in the form of coinflips.compared to a lot of TCGs the decks are remarkably consistent due to only being 20 cards and being able to play 2 of each card so variance has to be created in other ways.card game players like variance, they pretend they don't but if they really hated it they would be chess players.
>>57080860the silver lining highlights on 3-diamond cards always make it look like the card has curved sides
>>57080860pika ex with raichu and magneton has top 16d every tournament with more than 600 people for the last month straight bro
>>57080701>african jolteonLol
>>570808794 energy for 60It really could be 3 for 70Beedrill 1 for 70Starmex 2 for 90 free retreat Wiggly 3 for 80 and sleepAverage 4 cost is probably anywhere between 100 and 150 damage
>>57080728>>57080852>hiding your nameWhy.
He was level 3, bros...The true keeper of the gate makes no exceptions
>>57080918it's very funny to me that one of the few confirmed cards in MI is an even shittier magmarjust how much do they hate him
>>57080921Tbf he looks like he sucks a mean cock. Surprised more coomer-trainers haven't latched on to him.
>>57080728>all pvp emblems>level 24
>>57080912you do know the average 4 cost attack doesn't come attached to a pokemon that gets a free energy every turn right
>>57080881This game has a ton of luck, YGO has actual coin flip cards/decks and those are rarely played for a reasonDuel Links operates on 20 cards too and you can play up to 3 of the same card, but it has tons of variance that doesn't necessitate direct RNGIn fact, even when there was a top deck that involved coin flips with Desperado Barrel Dragon, the main draw of the deck was that despite being a coin flip deck it was accompanied by a Skill that granted the player's first 3 coin flips of the duel to always be Heads
>>57080918SOVL favorites deck vs SOULLESS meta deck
>>57080912its not meant to be in the active spot. the game doesn't have anything that synergizes with it on the bench outside surge+raichu but at least the ability gives it a chance at staying/becoming relevant as powercreep occurs as opposed to the ones you listed, except maybe starmie ex.
>>57080860>Worst card in the fucking gameIt's not good, but it's not the worst card in the game. >>57080888Raichu lists do not need to run Magneton, and they should not run Magneton.
>>57080888This game just shafts every mixed deck playerIf you're not running mono ex your deck sucks
>>57080918Never understood why new players used 3 energy decks when they get a starting deck they can improve uponAnd no, I'm not even good at the game
>>57080881>dunning kruger comment
>>57080574If you are just fighting Mewtwo/Pika decks Muk is uselessIf you are fighting randos you will get shit on by Grass/Fighting/Steel decks and auto lose embarrassingly without a heavy hitter
>>57080953>Raichu lists do not need to run Magneton, and they should not run Magneton.Interesting to claim such sureties.
>>57080860>and on a solid bodyNot very solid after I'm done banging her
Misty would still be good if it read:>Flip a coin, if heads: attach a water energy to staryu, psyduck, lapras, or horsesThe chance at a turn 1 tempo advantage is entirely justified
>>57080940ygo is the sole exception since ygo decks are insanely consistent due to all the tutoring.almost every other TCG has as much or more luck that pocket its just masked, like mtg's land system.
this game is pure luck most of the timeyou get shitty starting hand and it's over for you
>>57079468He's a really big youtuber in japan now, he's been on tv shows and stuff too. If pocket isn't outright sponsoring him to pull, he's definetly rich enough to drop thousands on this game and not feel it.
>>57080798all basic object-mon are dogshit, simple as. They should have stopped making them after gen 1.
>>57080971> Yu-Gi-Oh is not luck based bro> Game literally decided by the first coin flip and what hand traps you open with
>>57080965>Interesting to claim such sureties.What do you mean by this? Are you saying that Raichu needs to run Magneton? It doesn't. At all. You can very easily Surge into Raichu with the standard 1 energy Zapdos and 2 energy Pikachu, and if you have Magneton, you start *requiring* multiple copies of Surge, and also excess energy is discarded, because Raichu's attack discards *all* energy, and Surge attaches *all* energy. https://www.pokemonmeta.com/top-decks#tournamentWinnersOnly&deck=Pikachu%20exIf you mean my assertion that Raichu should *not* run Magneton, there are only 2 Magneton lists that have won, while there are a great many more Raichu lists that have won which do not run Magneton. Magneton is excessive, unnecessary, and a very bad "wall" in cases where you don't draw anything else. Magneton is a worse Electrode, unironically.
>>57080970yeah it should either be limited to specific Misty related mon or limited in flips.
>>57080970>horsesAre these water horses?
>>57080990Horsea*
>>57080984sure but every card game has the opening hand variance, you cant even Milligan in Yu-Gi-Oh so its even worse and more luck based.it just further proves mt point that all cards games have a lot of variance and its inherently good for them otherwise every game plays out the same and it becomes boring.
>>57080860>default moltres is better than magneton>a card that flips one coin to see if it's 3 energy attack does any damage is somehow better than a card that generates free energy that can be sent to other cards to attack with, or can attack or retreat for free assuming it sits on the bench long enoughEvery day I visit these threads, there's a new completely retarded take I have to read. You guys are really working on hitting new lows every day.
>>57080970>>>worse brockI think it should be flip 2 coins
>>57080970You wouldn't get pathetic coomers who have never touched a vagina in their life to spend hundreds for a full art if it was fairAll the girl trainers are OP
>>57080971TCGP out the gate started with a guaranteed Basic in hand, 2x Pokeball, and 2x OakThe problem is that there is an overreliance on direct coin flip cards instead of the game runners adopting a backbone to commit to fixed values for what their cards can or can't do
>>57081008100 hp on a 1 retreat fag not to mention its weak to elec and not water
is there any EX pokemon that's worse than its non EX counterpart?EXs are just so over tuned, particularly EX basics.
Wait till they start adding confusion for even more coinflipping
>>57081009Not him, but it really should have limited the current effect to a few mon. It’s clear that the someone on the design team intended it to work with Blastoise / Lapras. The card working for all Water types is the issue, and that problem isn’t going away.
>>57081003In Yu-Gi-Oh 80% of duels are determined by the variance of your starting hand exactly, because all duels last like 3 turns. If you go second without any hand traps you are fucked. If you go first and your opponent stops your combo, you're fucked. Almost all resulting play is derivative of your opening hand, it's garbage game design and that's why almost nobody plays it any more except for chinks and turbo incels
>>57081024Machamp is probably the closest one, I was extremely surprised that Machamp EX only gets you 20 extra damage without even a bonus effect or ability to sweeten the deal, since you're giving up an extra point for it
Any advice on how to improve this deck, its fun.
>>57081024EXs are designed to be better in every way, that's why they cost 2 points. Don't expect a non-ex to ever compete with an ex in stats, its about whether or not it can take advantage of only being 1 point. As it stands, in a game with very little support for anything whatsoever that EXs bruteforce their way past regular pokemon, as the game's lifespan continues on you'll find more nonEX decks like Blaine compete.
>>57081024Arcanine
>>57081037nah its finei remember playing a deck similar to thisalthough im confused about the xspeed
>>57081035EX machamp is one of those pokemon thats a tier going 2nd, d tier going first. Its bulky and 120hp for 3 energy is rather good and fast. Problem is going first makes evolving on turn 3 worthless since machoke needs 2 energy, you wont be able to attack with the mons when they are ready to evolve.
>>57080795I mean the other target is Venusaur ex but it comes with the downside of being a stage 2 evo and Bulbasaur needing two energy to attack so the deck will always be bad going first. Dhelmise only needing one energy to attack made it a good option for going first and being a basic mon allow you to be less fucked by the RNG
>>57080809I'm pretty sure there is some kind of win based matchmaking judging by the level of skill and emblems displayed by my opponents. Do you have less than 50 wins?
>>57081037Take out potion and speed for 2 gioYour retreat is either 1 or 0
>>57081021Almost every card that relies on a single or 2 coinflips to do ANYTHING (Marowak EX, Kangaskhan, etc) would be objectively better and less annoying both to play against and with by changing the all or nothing coinflips to multiple smaller coinflips or a small guaranteed value with a coinflip for a minor bonus (IE Exeggutor, Heliosk) but those don't juice the brain with the gambling addiction chemicals as hard.
>>57081038I don't mean on raw power, I mean on playablity.obviously EXs have more raw power than non EXs of the same stage since they give up twice the points.
>>57081038>EXs are designed to be better in every way, that's why they cost 2 points.well in this case they would be worse because the tradeoff isn't worth it. Like I could see a world where people would rather play regular gengar over EX for the supporter block since it's not that reliable as a stage 3 sweeper.
>>57081046Which could be solved if it had some way to get energy like the other types but instead we got fucking brock.
>>57081024None explicitly so, many are sidegrades at worstLapras ex needs more energy before it can actually attack, but base Lapras only does 20 anyway so not like it matters muchGengar ex needs 3 energy to attack while regular Gengar only needs 1 for worse damage and the same effect as ex's abilityMachamp, Arcanine and Exeggutor ex are stat upgrades over their originals, but Exeggutor in particular I think is fair to run if you really don't like the idea of an ex as a high retreat cost lead giving away 2 points
>>57081046Stage 2s need a cheaper, shittier 2 energy attack to go with their big gigadunk attacks that let them attack on turn 5. Their extra health is basically irrelevant that late in the game.
does a new set mean i finally get to stop fighting the same 3 decks?>Charizard-Moltres>Mewtwo-Gardevoir>Double Pikachu also whats the last day i can use my GA points.
>>57081052I have 500 wins and mostly face retarded shitters or misty
>>57081052I have about 200 wins, I've been playing since the start of the month, I don't know my losses but I definitely feel like my win rate is well over 50%.
>>57081072I guarantee you people will still be playing the latter two decks. Charizard will still see play but likely to a lesser extent now that Mew is a splashable revenge mon capable of OHKOing it. There is no last day for pack points yet as the pack isn't going away yet. There will just be a separate set of pack points for the new pack.
>>57081072No, now you're going to just run across Mew-Mewtwo-Gardevoir and Double Pikachu because Mew is going to kill off Moltres-Charizard
>>57081069Yup when we have ohko mons, shit like blastoise and machamp are completely irrelevant. Like oh good for you, you have tons of HP, meanwhile charizard still one shots you, and mewtwo can kill you with some chip. Its really crazy how those one shot nuke moves were given to EX cards that can FARM energy like crazy and dont care about the discard energy penalty
too afraid to know my winrate
>>57081052>I'm pretty sure there is some kind of win based matchmaking judging by the level of skill and emblems displayed by my opponents.In my experience, on the way to 5 emblems, my matches were incredibly sweaty and always fucked my RNG, and I only played against a couple people who had the emblem displayed, usually after I had gotten 3 wins. After I got the emblem, my matches instantly became much easier, I started playing legitimate children playing trash piles, I went on an 11 winstreak and multiple 5 streaks with random decks, all of it was piss easy, and about half the people I was playing also had their 5 winstreak emblem showing.
>>57081088you cant know unless you manually track it, your profile says your number of wins but without listing your number of losses its pretty useless information.
>>57081086They went too far with the simplification of the TCG rules and design. They don't need every single attack to have a paragraph of effect text, but you can't look at something like Nidoqueen and tell me this is meant to be played by anyone but slow-witted boomers reliving their first Red playthrough
>>57081034yugioh even more than pocket is entirely a deckbuilding game, yeah you can fuck up order by running into obvious handtraps, but most decent players can just compare opening hands and see who winsyugioh was the first game where I started using draw odd calculators to help optimizie my decks, but making your own decks in that game you have to be actually cracked, deckbuilding in pocket is so much more accessible by comparison
>>57081009Brock has no immediate impact. The version I proposed has a trades off consistency for immediate impact.
>>57081102I was a Blue chad, actually.
>>57080953>>57080965I agree with this statement.Anyone pushing magneton is either ignorant or trolling, no offense intended.

> Exeggutor deck ate 3 Draco Meteors and beat Cucknite without him taking a single killEggchads stay winning
I've been trying to build this deck for a month ever since i saw a tuber, but I literally can't stop pulling ex cards and have whiffed every wonder pick
>>57081162This deck is horrible
>>57081072>mewtwo gard decks now run mew ex instead of normal mewtwo>Pika ex decks now run dedenne and maybe the new pikachu>nothing changes for Charizardnope, you'll still see those same decks, mewtwo and pika might become even more dominant with the new additions. Your only hope is that vaporeon is enough of a buff for water decks to make blastoise or other water decks more relevant in fighting charizard decks.
>>57081162>only 1 Zapdos>fucking Magneton>detrimental Meowths>...wait, there's no Pika EX at allWhat the fuck is this deck
>>57081154pulling dragonite late against grass decks sucks because you know they can tank the hits.
>>57080163this>>57080162you should only be playing meta decks for the event, doing it for normal matches is gay
>Mew ex VS Marowak exSounds funMay the luckiest man win
>>57081176it's an actual lt surge raichu carry deckmeowth since you need to fish for your combo pieces and assemble all your stage 1s and get surges
Top right chads why can’t we stop winning?
>>57081197Stop this nonsense position is irrelevant
Stall decks are so funnylike yeah I lost but you are so annoyed right now
>>57081072Your question has already been answered, but I'm going to add my 2cb>Charizard-MoltresWill still be around, but now has to be wary of most decks running Mew EX. Volcarona probably has a burn effect, so there is a chance that the "Moltres" deck adopts a lower curve and becomes a "non-EX deck" by dropping Charizard and/or possibly Arcanine. The new Magmar is such a bad card that it might be hinting at additional energy generation in fire, but we don't know. >Mewtwo-GardevoirThis will most likely be exactly the same deck that it currently is, except it will run Mew EX instead of regular Mewtwo. I could possibly see it dropping Gardevoir if there is a new spicy psychic line in the set, but chances are it will remain mostly the same deck.>Double PikachuMost likely, the new electric EX will replace the Raichu in the current lists, and Dedenne will replace Pincurchin, but it will otherwise be the same deck. There is also a chance, if the new electric EX is insane, that you drop Pikachu EX so that this deck can play Mew EX with no drawbacks, but I don't think that's very likely. >"Grass"Exeggutor EX is already an insane card, and now you will be able to splash it in any deck. There's also Celebi EX, whatever it does. If there is no additional energy generation for Grass, I think the "Venusaur" deck will become an "Exeggutor Celebi" deck, or "Exeggutor Mew", or really just an Exeggutor and/or Celebi deck without Venusaur or Lilligant or any of the current more "traditional" Grass lists. Maybe Serperior or Shiinotic does something.>MistyStarmie Articuno is possibly better due to Vaporeon, and Blastoise might also become a real deck due to Vaporeon. >KogaI honestly wonder if there's going to be any Dark or Metal support in the set. I hope so. >FightingAero EX and/or Marshadow might do something, who know. It could be what Fighting needs to become a competitive deck.
Maroshart made me lose against a pika deck flipping double tails two times in a rowI hope we'll get some new good fighting tipe because I really hate pikatroons
>>57081176>>57080860There's nothing wrong with Magneton.
>>57081196Sounds like a deck that is built specifically to durdle.
>>57081223>Maroshartyou people are shit at nicknames goddamn
>>57081218>now you will be able to splash it in any deck.I still think that "use-case" won't work out. We might see more stuff like Exeggutor+Alakazam though.>>57081223Marowank
>>57081243>I still think that "use-case" won't work out.What do you mean? >We might see more stuff like Exeggutor+Alakazam though.Yeah, you'll be able to splash Exeggutor EX in any deck without it being terrible awkward like it is now. You don't even need to run Grass energy to do it.
>>57081204sounds like something a middle picker would say
yeah yeah yeah but how is the pokeflute going to impact the meta
>>57081270It’s notVictreebell sucks ass
>>57081248>What do you mean?I mean>You don't even need to run Grass energy to do it.is crazy talk. If you're not se to generate Grass energy you've committed to leaving a 50 HP Pokemon active during your opponent's turn.The only time that can work out for you is turn 2 or turn 3. If you draw Exeggcute too late it will be a dead card.If you deck is actually generating Grass energy Growth Spurt can smooth out a rough start (e.g. initial energies are Psychic) without being a unusable if you draw it late.
>>57081226i mean I don't have any games on it, so all i have is the videohttps://youtu.be/Gcb5U7pnVy0?si=PiL9upAX6Ktjz2Bs
>>57081282I do not think it's crazy talk to say that you can now run Exeggutor EX in decks that don't even generate Grass energy.
I'm in a dark chapter of this game. I'm not allowed to compete in the pvp event. I don't want to know how many attempts I've made, but the likelihood of getting this many worst case scenario starting hands is astronomical. I'm no longer thanking my opponents which I assume is creating a negative karmic feedback loop. I went from king shit to literally not allowed to compete the day this event started.
Is there any advantage to going first if you aren't water?It just seems like a lost turn
>>57081293Just keep going and don't give up. However, I also no longer thank anyone. It's a toxic event.
>>57081298you can attack with weezing/rapidash/exeggutor a turn earlier, among some other things
>>57081298Grass likes to go first if it runs exeggutor, but even then if you dont draw the stage 1 and cant evolve the benefit can be pointless. Blaine decks might like it, rapidash on turn 3 is good, but again it depends. No deck hates going second, most decks hate going first etc.
Weezing too.
>>57081298any deck that evolves and isnt too worried about attacking asap, meaning almost everything other than pika
>you can't draw with poison damage after an attackboo
>just opened a pack with immersivechuAll I'm missing is mew now but fuck is it hard to get those 5 mons left without spending pack points.
>>57081324In a recent game me and my opponent were at 2 points each. They killed my Ninetales with their Arcanine ex, but it to recoil. The end screen said I won. Hehe.
>>57081324Status effects are a distinct step that occurs after the attack is resolved. Why would you ever think this would work differently?
>>57081332Based. Seems like the potential fourth point actually matters.
>>57081333Not consistently, sleep is resolved at a different point. They clearly pick and choose
>>57081332>>57081340Interesting. I wonder if it's order of operations (taking 20 recoil is part of executing the attack) or if it really was the 4th point that did it.
>>57080421>spending $800-$900 on literal thin airWhy though?
>really liking the results with poison from Tentacruel and Weezing>wonder pick Venomoth since it seems to be a great grass starter with poison>immediately remember I already have Exeggutor ex the de facto grass starter
>>57081349It's basically just biased toward whatever helps the attackerOne of the many reasons why going 2nd and getting 1 more attack is just outright better.
>>57081360Poison is such an underrated thing.
>>57081360Tenta is underrated, its a pretty good card overall. >>57081360Venamoth is not a good card. The fact that it has 80 HP is lol
>>57081298In general? Not often. That being said…>turn 1 >Onix and 2x Brock in hand Heh>turn 1 >Zubat + Golbat in hand>vs M2Heh
is there an algorithm that gives your opponent the best draw possible when you're at 4 streak
>>57081349All status effects are handled during Pokémon Checkup, which is between players' turns.>>57081350The order of animations was• Ninetales took 120 damage• Ninetales died• The opponents points increased to 3• Arcanine ex took 20 damage• Arcanine ex died• My points increased increased to "3"• The battle endIt finished resolving the attack even though my opponent met their win condition.>if it really was the 4th pointThe game doesn't display more than 3 points during a battle but it definitely tracks more than 3.The "score 12 points" solo battle tasks can increase by more than 3 in a single battle.
>>57081373I used a meta deck and won immediately with 5 games in a row. So no, you know what the issue is.
>>57080421>Depends on how much of my Christmas bonus is left after I get a quote for my in-ground poolI'm not a pool guy, but that's pretty based.>a nice violin for my daughter.Insanely based. The violin is such a beautiful instrument, only rivaled in my opinion by the harp. Nice to hear that (allegedly) not everyone here is a degen.
>>57081377>The order of animations wasI understand what the order of animations is, but it could be that "technically" the 20 recoil damage occurs as part of executing the attack rather than during a stage after damage has been dealt. I'd like to see what happens in this scenario if both players reach 3 (or 4) points with this attack.
Being weak to meta cards is aids.
>>57081380>not everyone here is a degen.He spends almost a grand on a virtual casinoHow is that not degenerative behavior?
>>57081373For my first 5 winstreak, both me and my opponent bricked. It was a very stupid, incredibly long drawn out game. For the winstreak on my other account, I just fought 3 Mewtwos, some deck I can't remember, and a final Pika for my winstreak. We both drew decently well, and I barely won.
>>57081377I think I had a 3 - 3 against the machine and it was a tie.
he is not a real person
>>57081401If his story is to be believed, he can clearly afford it, and he is taking care of his family before using his bonus on digital cards. His story is not totally unreasonable in itself, but for someone like that to be on 4chan is.
>another event ticket
>>57081418Doesn't matter if you have the money to do it, gambling is always degenerate behavior and so is playing gacha games
>>57081425>gamblingIt's not gambling if you spend enough money.
>>57081425>moralfagging about degen behaviorNext you'll tell us jerking it to misty is a bad thing
do the pack points work for the miniset? They are both labeled under A
I genuinely despise how drawing gard means instant epic win for mewtwo. Mew cant come soon enough, god i cant wait.
>>57081461>Weezing/Arbok?Mew EXMan I can't wait.
>>57081451they should but people say they dont.
>>57081451Nope!
Every deck I've played against today as been about getting an EX card up and running as soon as possible using pokemon and trainers that let you attach more than one energy per turn.Except pika EX which is about getting an EX card up an running as soon as possible by putting basic mons on your bench.I don't remember playing a multiplayer game in my life with so little variety, it doesn't even matter if it shows a picture of a charizard or of a mewtwo on the card, it's just a race to attach energies. DeNA should stick to modeling waifus because game design is not their strong point.
Game is good but meta decks are becoming so optimized to the point where you get raped for playing anything remotely different.
>>57081485there is so much randomness and so many noobs playing this game that this is just not true
>>57081479what do you think about how weezing/arbok play?
Anyone else played against people who seem like bots?Like using geovani for no reason or x-speed when arbok is active
>>57081491I think it's at least fun to play against but it doesn't seem very strong.

>>57081522Same as getting a shiny pok, 1 in 4096.
>>57081479pic related is one of my favorite decks
>>57081522>>57081527>Less than a god packGrim
>>57081522I recorded a macro of a coinflip that was proven to have rolled heads multiple times, but as time goes on this macro seems to flip tails more and more. It's probably <50% heads, despite being the same exact motion every time.
>>57081493Glowing card goes brrrrrr
>>57081511Truly I tell you, a poster shall come and he shall say unto you “Behold! I have pulled poorly from the upper right!” And you shall cast him out; for you know that he is merely faithless chaff
>>570815281^1 * 0.5^11The first flip is deterministic.
>>57081535You guys always post cool decks but in practice more than 50% of my games today have been charizard/moltres.Hopefully it's people tryharding the 5 winstreak achievement with the gayest deck they have and games will be better when it's done. Otherwise I'll stick to opening packs.
>>57081535I'm trying this out at the moment tooIt feels like a sidegrade to Golduck which offers more immediate damage, but Tentacruel's HP and long-term poison damage has been useful too.still waiting until I pull a second Starmie ex though which I'll probably use over Tentacruel/Golduck
>>57081551>You guys always post cool decks but in practice more than 50% of my games today have been charizard/moltres.I mean, yeah, most of my matches are Mewtwo, Pikachu, Misty, or Charizard (in order of popularity), and only like 10% (if that) are "cool" decks. It is what it is. Most video games have people only ever playing meta.
>>57081293>it's literally not my fault I'm not winningYou might as well just uninstall if this is your attitude. There are a LOT more hands that are winnable than you're currently realizing, and if you chalk up perfectly reasonable hands to being crap just because you didn't get the double ball/double oak God-draw is shooting yourself in the kneecaps. Play the game. Use the hands that are given to you. Sure, there are some small amount of hands that are an auto-lose but realistically those are few and far between
>>57081554I like playing that deck because it's only "fair" cards. I originally had Misty in it, but I took it out. I sometimes change to 2 Giovanni or 2 Sabrina, usually when I have a game where it's like "damn, if I had a Giovanni/Sabrina instead I would have won", but it's a pretty nice list. If you start putting Starmie or Articuno in it, it just becomes a standard Misty deck.
>>57081565I'm not that guy, but I think you are lending far, far too much credit to "skill" in this game. You can usually tell who wins the match just by the first couple opening turns and your current hand. Maybe in 1/10 games, someone will misplay, or you'll draw the perfect combination of cards you need to barely eek out a win from a losing position, but these are not common. It's much more common that you initial impression of who wins the match is correct.
>>57081565it aint that deep of a game, dude. It doesn't take an expert strategist to know when you have a dud hand
>>57081594>>57081594>>57081594
>>57081586>I'm bad so I chalk it up to the RNG of our opening handscry more
>>57081597>dunning kruger response I just think that people who have never played card games mistakenly believe that PTCGP is a skill based game when it is not. Most players play perfectly because there are not many things to consider and there is very little interaction, and most players play meta decks because they're easy to get and that's what you do in card games. So there is practically no skill variance, and there is practically no deck variance. Therefore, matches most often come down to RNG, either with the beginning coinflip, or the matchup you rolled into, or the cards you are drawing vs the cards the opponent is drawing.
>>57081451>>57081473NOfor the 3475th time, pack points are per expansion>labeled under AA is a series, not an expansion
>>57080379This deck isn't a killer, but I doubt it. I've been asleep. Name is Warning Alarm.Live by the flip, die by the flip.
>>57081663that's retarded
>>57081720no it's money
>>57079947All of this is fixed if Creatures just adds a no ex lobby
>>57081350I have tied via an Arcanine killing itself while knocking out my 'mon. I wish I remembered the details.
>>57081359Because I have the expendable income. 10% goes to church, 60% goes to savings and taxes, 30% goes to "me"/fun. Even then it's not like I'm blowing all of my fun money on tcgp.
>>57081551I got the five winstreak day 1 and have been taking PikaEX into the queue at least 10 times a day every day since

i will never get my 5 winsi fucking despise this piece of shit game
>>57082088>not promo puff
Anyone know a deck I can do the new potential upcoming solo content with that isn't Mewtwo so I won't be bored out of my mind?
>>57082267weezing/arbok or blaine. make sure to not use any promo or full arts so you can get the low rarity win awards too.
