what do you think about a highlander style (only allowed one copy of a card in your deck) style of event here sometime in the future? i enjoyed it as a silly little thing in master duel when it came up ages ago. would need some kind of event banlist so the usual crazy cards dont go on rampages but ya.

This deck got me a 5 win streak, it feels really solid honestly for something that's not S tier. What do you guys think? I have a lot of success getting Starmie online quick, and the articuno is there for tanking and low cost retreating. Sometimes i can get 3 energy on it late game and go for a para cheese victory. Greninjas just broken if you get it online. I don't think the new vaporeon would even help much.

i literally only got misty yesterday, already had sharticuno, lapras and 2 EXtarmie
and... i hate misty so much. 4 runs in a row where both misty gave me no energy lmao
starmie is is the real mvp
>>
>>57084255
she's worth the 140 pack points brother. also pull pikas lol
>>
>>57084264
I think people have been very much overrating it. You have to fill your deck with 2 eevees and 2 vaporeons that are only meant for the ability, it's stats are terrible. It also doesn't generate energy like Gard, so i'm clueless on how to use it. Raichu surge works because electric is low energy cost and full of other basics, with or without magneton.
>>
>>57084248
I don't personally find default articuno necessary on water decks because ex articuno can tank enough damage and still retreat with 2 energy that it's not necessary to have the spot for a meat shield.
>1 normal starmie
for what purpose? You would do better dropping articuno and the default starmie for a second x speed and giovanni.
>new vaporeon
greninja and starmie both only need two energy and since greninja's ability is free, and starmie retreats for free, you'll likely have more than enough energy, even with only 1 misty card. Personally, I like articuno+greninja for the synergy of targeting the opponents backline.
>>
>>57084265
Moltres/charizard is decently fun because it is satisfying when you get charizard's nuke off but also because the bit of decision making is interesting with respect to whether you abandon charizard plan and go for arcanine or whether you have to abandon both and have to try to make moltres put in all the work himself.
>>
>>57084279
1 normal starmie is just to increase my chances to evolve a Staryu. I could get rid of it, but it's won me a lot of games. I just hope water gets another support card, Misty is pure cheese and on paper is a bad card
>>
Why am I so excited for tomorrow's pack release? How is my life this empty holy shit
>>
>>57084278
>>57084248
okay I've rethought it and actually vaporeon could work with starmie ex. Ideally you start with staryu in the active slot, you put energy on it and evolve it, while vaporeon is on the bench. After it gets damage, since it retreats for free, you can move it to bench safely and then transfer the two energy to whatever else up front. I can see this being pretty good.
>>
>>57084292
Maybe blastoise? It just seems like it'll be hard to fill a deck with all of that.
>>
>>57084228
Eh in fairness this was during the “Pikachu kills everything” era in normal format before Mewtwo and Arcazard saw similar levels of play. If you held another version of this tournament (especially for cash), it’d probably look different
>>
>>57084248
Oh wow so creative anon! A starmie deck? We've never seen that before.
>>
>>57084265
after playing the arbok/weezing koga version and beating those decks I couldn't play them either even though I have the cards to make them. they're either too annoying to set up or too linear for me. if I were to change decks it would probably be a blaine deck. ninetails and rapidash feels like the offensive version of koga to me.
>>
>>57084292
that strategy sounds appealing until you realize how many cards it takes to have even 1 starmie ex and 1 vaporean on the bench. That's already 4 cards out of your initial hand of 6. It is very unlikely you get to that gamestate, and if you don't get there fast you completely lose the appeal of the second starmie ex as it is an early attacker that falls off as the turns advance
Vaporeon would be more interesting for rotating out a bulky 1 energy attacker to accelerate a lategame 3 energy sweeper, as the strategy actually wants the game to go long enough for vaporeon to start getting reliable value.
>>
>>57084297
I think you could have 1 evee and 1 or two vaporeon in a standard articuno/starmie deck. Anybody currently running a blastoise deck will definetly want to use vaporeon to support it.
>>
>>57084308
no I will not run a stage 3 and a stage 1 in the same deck thank you for asking

I'm hyped too bro, it's a fun game no need to overthink it.

>>57084278
you don't run 2-2, you run it 1-2 like arcanine in moltres/zard. i don't think the stats are terrible, it 2HKOs pika and lives a hit unless pika uses giovanni.
we'll see how the early experimentation with it pans out though. my gut agrees with you that it won't be worth it, but we need the full context of the set. maybe they'll print a nuts single prize Suicune or Veluza rare that's a better pair for starmie than articuno
>>

THAR SHE BLOWS
>>
>>57084312
no ones talking about it but grass needs some shit bad. You saw a fucking golem fucker get top 16 at that chicks tourney, meanwhile grass cucks achieve NOTHING. They need atleast ONE great basic.
>>
>>57084305
I tried that too but got kinda bored of it
Though as much as people shit on it, a quick 130 damage ass blast from the new magmar might help blaine decks out some more
Unless you go first against pika, which would be very unfortunate
>>
>>57084331
fighting doesn't have good basics, but if you get lucky enough with your card draw, Golem can sweep. The setup for getting Eggs started and either just tanking with butterfree or holding the line till venusaur is up works well, imo better than most fighting decks do.
>>
>>57084338
Grass needs something big for how bad it auto loses to fire man. I run solid grass decks imo but never once do i beat a moltres deck, its literally hopeless.
>>
>>57084342
yeah that deck matchup is pretty fucked, charizard invalidates healing as a concept and even arcanine can almost one shot eggs
>>
>>57084331
Exeggutor makes top 16 in tournaments all the time. It just isn't a popular deck, so it doesn't seem much representation. It's a solid tier 3 deck.
>>
there's nothing else coming to the wonder pick event shop right?
if I got all the venusaur shit I can safely blow all my remaining tickets on the dust?
>>
>>57084331
Golem is elite desu, so good for a non-ex
>>
>>57084363
yup, that's why it's there. use it or lose it
>>
>>57084355
I know the deck that got top 16 and it involves wigglytuff. Not to sound like a cunt but that just screams i got lucky with coin flips, because thats how wigs robs people. Its a crab card that isnt bulky, and needs 3 energy for 80 damage, but it usually forces a 50/50 against meta broken decks because of a sleep. One of the few pokemon that can stop a Mewtwo or charizard
>>

>>
>>57084367

if they just gave you the win when you attacked instead of forcing the tie, it would be a lot better. as it is, it's way less useful as a late game sweeper compared to almost anything else.

I don't think Golem is that much of a meme deck. Brock is a pretty good support much better than Surge tbqh. The only thing holding it back is it's restriction to only Golem and Onyx. It should also be usable on Geodude and Graveler.

Playing some triple Zard before Mew EX damns it to irrelevance, pretty brainless deck but it’s fun in a way that Misty isn’t, just wish I could have gotten Arcanine in all the Pika packs I pulled so I could have tried this shit in its final forme

Mew EX is strictly better for that I’d say, albeit if you only had 1 Mew you could probably get away with running one of each. If there’s some kind of colorless energy support he could still pop off.

Mew ex does 0 damage to Pikachu ex.

yeah, i think you just don't put down 2 ekans against pika/starmie. tauros only really sucks if you start it w/ the 2 retreat. but it slots in okay because you want to run Leaf anyways for arbok's 2 retreat (and so weezing can retreat with 1 energy if you don't have koga in hand).

All I need to get mew is an Aerodactyl, I rolled for a total of 6 Aerodactyl wonderpicks, including one that had 2 Aerodactyl

Wait how does the premium daily pack work now? I guess we'll be able to choose the set to use it on

Now that the event is over people seem to have put up their meta decks, finally. Now's your chance, post off-meta, I'll start:
>2 Dragonite line, 1 of each fossil, 1 Meowth, 2 Oak 2 Sabrina 2 Speed 2 Pokeball 2 Potion
Protect your back row while drawing with Meowth and sacrificing fossils to Sabrina while Dratini gets powered up. Surprising amount of wins just from Draco Meteor fucking deleting a board, many matches where I get an EX and babymon and just win in one move.
>2 Arbok line, 2 Weezing line, 1 Meowth line, 2 Oak 2 Sabrina 2 Koga 2 Potion 2 Pokeball
Pretty straight forward team rocket deck old faithful hunted down Mewtwo and Pikachu decks during the event
>2 Machamp EX line, 1 Meowth line, 2 Pokeball 2 Speed 2 Potion 2 Oak 2 Sabrina 2 Gio
Not much to say really, probably one of your Machop and Machoke will just be sacrificed as big bro Machamp gets online, maybe Meowth can draw, maybe Persian can disrupt the opponent's hand, bring in Machamp and clean up. Funny deck, can't believe I win with it.
>>
I got legitimately 70% winrate with Blaine deck. Playing the game on easy mode AND with only 2 diamond and below cards.
Red Deck always Wins.

>>57084787
>babby's first spoiler season

>>57084844
That dragonite deck would be much improved with a base mewtwo or khanga to tank. They can actually take some early and mid game hits unlike fossils so you have much longer to get your dragonite set up
>>
>>57084787
>>57084787
In a world where everything is spoiled and datamined, this is nice

>>57084844
Beedrill + WigglyEX core works surprisingly well. Beedrill is a 1 energy beater and the excess energy can go on any other beefy mon of your choice. I think some other colors can run similar deck.
Is there an off-meta password? I know only of NOEX.

There's nothing funnier than making your opponent sleep for countless turns, until you get what you need to win the game.
>>
>>57084907
Needs two heads in a row, technically a heads and a tails but still.
It only works 25 percent of the time by itself so the odds really aren't in your favor, but you do get multiple chances without any risk of it whiffing.

>>57084912
I would give him something metallic to the head.

Hypno is kind of a meme card. Sleep is strong but balanced by low odds. Hypno Melmetal Greninja is funny though.

Do established card games attract new players? Like I remember when Hearthstone was new, I played for a year and took a year off, then when I came back I quit immediately because I felt like I missed a bunch of shit. Can't imagine trying to break into a title like PTCG where you'll be forever taunted by emblems and promos (some of which are actually good) that you'll just never have.

Honestly, if anyone wanted a f2p card game, I'd recommend Teppen instead.
>>
>>57084999
teppen just isn't very fun imo, the good cards are extremely pushed and the rest can't really compete
>>
>>57084961
Yup. I feel the same way. It's pretty decent for a f2p player like me. And they're not too bad unlike other card games like clash royale for example. That one's just the worst.
>>
>>57085004
These days they have been paying attention to older sets every 3 months to update some cards to current level and stuff. I have more fun building new decks thanks to all the improvements given
>>
>>57084964
Unlike Gachas which spam release autistic grind tier shits to do and constantly power creep their shit every couple weeks, tcgs usually release slower, if they gave out constant handouts to every fag, every f2p would have full collections weeks ago and would have no reason to want to spend money to beat meta decks
I garuntee you some x amount of shitters spent money to try to get the decks for a 5 streak, they'd have to give up way more money than it's worth appeasing degen gachafags who come from paypig bait games

This is my latest brew before the new set comes out. It's not bad and can catch a lot of unevolved basics at the start of the game. People don't really expect Wigglytuff to come in for 60 so it's a nice surprise. Works without X Speed but make sure you don't switch needlessly. Poison+Sleep is a nice combo.

>>
>>57085057
Not in my experience. That deck is weirdly enough a hard counter to Mewtwo and a serious threat to Pikachu. Someone is gone evolve and you just base your moves off of whoever it is. Ideally Weezing evolves to give you a free poison on the opponent, maybe a tackle, hopefully some Koga tech, ideally into Arbok (Weezing buys time obviously) who traps the injured opponent. Throw in Jiggly Wiggly for desperate sleep stall into threatening sleep+80 damage, it just werks. Although I've been alternating Jiggly and Wiggly for Meowth and Persian, partly to make it a real Team Rocket deck and partly to minimize my reliance on coin flips. The only flip in that case is Persian's shadow claw which is just icing on the shitcake Arbok is about to feed the opponent. Cannot overstate how much I love the old trap and brap.

That's true. I've punched through them with only about a 50% win rate unfortunately. There's just so few things you can do against a T1 juiced up Articuno doing 80+10 to the bench. But when they low roll Misty it's free real estate.

I expect it to be super limited. They need to make sure a third party economy doesn't spawn

>>57085392
Both players will put up their offered card, and the second player will flip a coin. If heads, he keep both cards and if tails the cards go to the other player
>>
>>57085392
Of course. Probably hourglasses like everything else. I expect it to be like Wonder Trade but rarity for rarity.
>>
>>57085370
That's not the point of this card. We will be getting a new Exeggutor with a "flip a coin for each energy attached" attack which is something most physical Exeggutor cards have.

Pack point accumulation is fucking awful. Having to open 30+ packs to afford a single card is shit.
>>
>>57085392
1 trade per week, can't trade things you only have 1 copy of, have to trade within the same rarity, can only trade within the previous sets, can't trade new cards, can't trade crowns or immersives, must buy special trading lisense, must have enough trading power points, all can be bought with gold.

I spent 150 pp on a Magneton because I thought there might be a secret achievement for completing all the recipe decks. Fuck it. There's no cheevo btw.
>>
>>57085435
It's purely because they realized ultra whales were going to just buy the crown cards with pack points so they doubled the cost to milk them.
Meanwhile they totally fucked over basic deckbuilding as a result.
>>
>>57085373
yeah in the TCG there are decks in the current format that are made to take 2 prizes each turn so if they come across a deck with only single prize pokemon they have a lot of trouble winning
>>
>>57085391
Oddly enough it's actually CHINA that gets the good mobile games. Their market is so competitive that their mobile games can't be ultra greedy like the rest of the world, as a chinamen would simply drop the game and play a different one.

Depends on if the game wants to combat chinese bot sellers.

If not, I'd wager rarity for rarity and you get to choose what card.
If so, I'd still wager rarity for rarity but it will be random.
And you can't trade cards you have 2 or less of.

The currency will either be shinedust, the rarer the card the more it will cost (to an absolutely insane amount for crowns) or there will be trade energy ala wonder picks that limit you to one trade per day (but you can save up to 5)

>>57085521
I think vaporeon+blastoise alone could suffice, the reasoning being that vaporeon isn't a sitting duck in the active thanks to the fact that you can ramp it out with misty without paying the cost of not putting the energy on blastoise. all of this would work even better with a better frontliner, like starmie, but 2 stage 1s + 1 stage2 is too many pokemons for a deck, especially now that we have much better trainer and item selection during deckbuilding. articuno could be a good 1of for this same reason, but I don't own it + it needs leaf to retreat or the energy gets wasted

This talk of passes and Pokemon made me turn on BDSP (the last Pokemon game I played) to check on my team. Tried to log into a global room and got booted because I wasn't a Nintendo+ subscriber. I just turned it off and accepted that most games aren't for me anymore.

Many such cases. The only fun I had with BDSP was getting the Tower ribbon on a few dexited Gen 1/2 shitmon (Parasect, Ariados, Unown, etc.). My backlog has been a bigger source of entertainment than almost any modern game. Played DK Jungle Beat (with bongos) for the first time yesterday, and my kids and I had a blast. Interesting experience.

Stupid Mew.
I have exactly 600 pack points to buy any four of the below.
So that's just 3 I need to get from Wonder Picks since all pack points for a few weeks are going to the new set starting tomorrow:
> Butterfree
WHY THE HECK DOESN'T THE PROMO COUNT
>Machamp
>Golem
>Weezing
>Flareon
>Omastar
>Aerodactyl
But starting tomorrow I fully expect all my Wonder Picks to be the new set too.

I probably won't even bother with that at this point. Pokemon is fun but there are other monster taming games now.

It's even crazier when you put this on the context of Pokemon being the #1 or 2 most profitable IP in the world (can't remember if they beat Hello Kitty yet). Like fuck dude, you make so much money, you can't let kids trade and battle for free??

The real tragedy is that VGC/TCG tourneys have had entry fees for the last decade.
The cost to run the entire organized play circuit is a rounding error to TPCI, and players already need to travel significant distances just to attend many premier events.
At least make it free for the non-sweaty neckbeard (under 18) divisions.

I used to dislike playing it at first but improving with the deck and adding some extra bulk with regular Mewtwo made it feel extremely fun and rewarding to play.

Why is it so hard to collect even 3 diamond cards?
I dont recall it being this hard to attain legendaries in Shadowverse/hearthstone/.
Are the rates just bad?
I don't care about the alt arts but trying to nab certain diamond holes in my collection for particular decks is proving way more difficult than expected.
Sure there's pack points but it feels like I almost always hit the threshold of packs to just dump points into before pulling what I was going after.

Erika is only 1 a turn and only 2 per deck.
Sure if you have 2 butterfree, 2 potions and 1 Erika that's 110 hp healed in a single turn but you're only doing that once. Next turn, at best, you can heal 90. After that it's 40 a turn.

Also, right now, Charizard can one shot every single grass mon in the game if I'm not mistaken. Erika doesn't matter if you can't use her.

Every mon in the game. And Blue doesn't get any current mons out of that threshold.
The second highest HP in the game is 180 (Blatoise, Charizard, and Machamp ex). 180-(200-10) < 0
Only one mon has 190 HP (Venusaur ex) and it's weak to fire. 190-(200+20-10) < 0

I think a lot of decks will carry Mew EX simply because of the 3 colorless requirements.

Grass still lacks a really good energy acceleration option and its damage isn't all that hot compared to other types.

>>57085811

I wasn't 100% of that so I didn't want to speak to it. And the issue was grass mon and erika so that's why I went only there.

Now when we get the cards to reshuffle Erika back into our deck from the discard pile and specifically pull her (or more likely pull random supporters) then Erika is gonna be much more broken than she might already be.

>Did they ever confirm if they'll do set rotations?
the way the language of the sets, etc is, they leave it open to pulling sets. We're speculating that won't happen until they've released a total of 2-4 sets though.

Pve ai is surprisingly better than a lot of real people. I had to heal my primeape because his nidoqueen had the exact damage to kill but then he just stopped attacking until he got a nidoking boost

Retard, part of the appeal of pocket is opening packs. Hoarding is why gacha games are garbage, plus the new cards are plenty good from what we have seen.

>I assume they'd reduce the health and damage but I still really want it. Regular Clefable is... fine. I guess.
those two effects on top of 260 HP AND 170 DAMAGE is absolutely nuts.

That's why the sets are numbered the way they are.

>All current cards say Series: A
Eventually the 'main' vs. format will change to Series B and newer only, just like the physical TCG, but that won't be until when the first series B set launches at the absolute earliest.

>>57085924
>Pve ai is surprisingly better than a lot of real people.
I'm not sure.
I have seen it drop X-speeds and not retreat, or leave a mon I can OHKO in the active slot instead of retreating to something that can tank a hit when I'm already at 2 points.
It frequently 'gives up' like that.
>>
>>57085867
This bitch should give 3 points and eat up your opponent's next pack pull, 260 HP wtf dude
>>
>>57085924
>Pve ai is surprisingly better than a lot of real people.
I've seen the AI misplay mutiple times. Like I was fighting a grass deck, active was damaged and it used Erika to heal a mon on the bench instead of the active.

Or it'll switch out a mon just to stall as it tries to build its meta and lose the game.

I think the AI is just hard carried by rigged RNG. I have had more trouble from the AI just getting Oak and two pokeballs first turn than any smart plays they've done.

the solo content is pretty shit but i dont know how to fix it. even if they add some restricted deckbuilding or prebuilt challenges, unless there is game to game variance outside of rng there probably isn't much of a point to keep playing it. maybe if they added a stadium-esque solo tournament with prebuilt decks against random decks later down the line.

It's not a TCG but I would like to see something similar to SMT:IV Challenge Missions, where you select one, then are thrown into a battle with set pieces and you're told "Beat this in X turns or less) and every misplay results in game-over.

"Pack Points do not expire"

What might happen is that events might only allow certain expansions but the game goes out of its way to assure people that new sets will not removed older ones. You have buttons that check expansions in a way that let you browse all of them but so far there's only 1 too.

I don't think it's A-Raichu because we saw normal Exeggutor art in the trailer video. They didn't future-proof themselves well with regional variants because now they only want to use them when a tcg set/video game is set in that specific region, even if another location (in this case a tropical island) would have the same conditions as the region.

I think they realized their mistake for SV and that's why we started getting convergent species as well.

>I think they realized their mistake for SV and that's why we started getting convergent species as well.
The only major fuck-up with regional variants is that breeding one in its non-native region will result in the standard form (without use of everstone). It’s needlessly cumbersome.

I won’t defend the execution of variants in terms of designs, but as a concept, I like them a lot more than simply copy-pasting the same pokemon across many geographically distant locations. Regional variants make the work feel larger.
>>
>>57086236
What if you get both versions just because? It can happen. 2 flavors of coin flip, except alolan one reaches further in to the bench. Long neck haha.

>>57086238
Sometimes you just have to take facts at face value
>>
>>57086255
it depends on how close to mew you are and if there's something else you want from GA. I'm lacking 6 cards from GA and they are 5 full evos that cost 150 and 1 stage 1. I also never got Starmie EX, but the drops I lack most are from Pikachu. I was getting 1 of each card daily because the odds were still on my side but right now my odds are at 10% or less, should I waste my daily packs on super low odds instead of getting my new set cards? I think no. Wonderpick was helping me but now everyone will most likely have new set wonderpicks. And what a cheat, I am without hourglasses to snatch some good shit either.

I'm missing 2 Sabrina FA, 2 Erika FA, 2 Blaine FA, 2 Rainbow Moltres, and 2 Rainbow Machamp. Now I know why my cousin lost his mind to drugs. If someone offered me $1000 to suck their dick right now, I would take it just pull more.

is my binder good?

>>57086512
That's a good idea. Whales don't need to like your showcase for troontix hoping you'll like them back. F2Ps are more likely to like back.
>>
>>57086575
Replace the regular Onix with more Promonix
>>
>>57086575
I don't totally get the intent. What's put with Cloyster?
And Hide Buttons.

>>57086581
That's fine. One faces right one faces left.

Should I try it? I only have 1 Starmie ex and getting Kabutops would make me unlock Mew (because I can craft the last one needed), but it would take all my remaining glasses and some of my free gold.

>>57086586
Cloyster is the pussy of course!!!
>>
>>57086590
>Free gold
Don't do it.
Only spend hourglasses.
Have you spent all your tranny tickets on wonder glasses yet?
>>
>>57086590
Probably not since you might want that gold for later.
>>
>>57086597
Unfortunately I'm one ticket short of buying a pack of 6.
>>
>>57086595
>oysters are clams
They're not but sure I guess this is as close as you can get.
>>
>>57086570
i just got a rainbow machamp from a wonder pick
>>
>>57086613
HGSS made a joke with a couple using Onix + Cloyster in a double battle so it def counts.
>>
>>57086617
That's a male Onix and male Cloyster what's up with that?
>>
>>57085635
>each of these decks are also the least F2P friendly in the meta as they all require 4 hard to get rare cards each
Yeah I'm not surprised.

Why didn't you get this one?
>>
>>57085177
Cringe, skill issue, but based.

>>57086643
Never mind you had it already.
>>
>>57086616
Congrats. I'd rather have the other stuff than the Machamp, I just added that onto the list because it would be a welcome addition instead of more and more of the same 1-4 diamond bullshit.

>>57086478
Ohmassacre sounds cool but I would have given this name to somebody more menacing than eelektross

>>
>>57086666
why?
>>
>>57086679
they wanted queen to slay
>>
>>57086696
I understand it all now
>>
>>57086700
i like how simple this is
i don't play meme decks so games take like 3-5 min
>>
Is Aerodactyl Ex going to kick Pika Ex out of the meta?
Also do points for Genetic Apex disappear once the new pack arrives?
>>
>>57086666
Lol sub 50% winrate
>>
>>57086460
lmfao
global is global
>>57086487
>227
nope
226 as mew is a ** card
>>
>>57087180
He's a *** card but that's neither here nor there.
There are 226 ^ - ^^^^ cards, 57 * - *** cards, and 3 w cards. 56 of the * - *** cards are alt. arts for ^ - ^^^^ cards and all 3 w cards are alt. arts for ^^^^ cards.
A1 has 227 mechanically distinct cards for deck building because the immersive Mew is not an alt. art card. It has no equivalent in a ^ - ^^^^ rarirty.
