>>57119500
You have to find retards who don't have Sabrina and don't attack Drudd which is not that uncommon for Mewtwo and Celebi users, but on paper it's an impossible matchup. You have to find meltan, evolve it, either have it in front and avoid death for 2 turns or in the back and stall 4 turns. Celebi takes 3 turns to oneshot melmetal. Mewtwo can kill with gio+psy sphere turn 2 or get psydrive by turn 3-4 depending on curve. The odds aren't really favourable

this gyarados drud deck is a fucking problem dude. Greninja ability just allows gyarados to one shot everything, and you have a high chance to checkmate immediatly because of misty. Such a low risk high reward deck unless you run into the bench sniping pokemon.

I think it's pretty diverse and healthy atm since I still see some Genetic Apex decks rn, but again only 1 mini-expansion was released

>>57119546
if it weren't for misty, this game would be real cool. Misty was something you could shrug off since water wasn't meta, but now it is. Gyarados and jackpot misty is everywhere now and I can't say the game is fun to play atm.

I think they will have to nerf misty at some point. Gamblers getting heads used to not mean an auto loss since Starmie was only relatively strong. Now they have have Gyarados up so easily with some luck? not even hard to evolve, stage 1s are relatively consistent. Keep in mind that both fucking exeggutor and gyarados are stage fucking 1s.

Electric is in a weird spot right now. Any energy you invest on the bug would most likely be needed on pikashit.
>>
Trying to make a good deck that synergizes with itself seems a bit difficult outside of obvious gimmicks like Venoshock
>>
>>57119627
arbok doesn't see play anymore anyway
it's all about just 1 shotting your opponents EX and if you can't you lose, losing your energy on your bug is too bad
>>
>>57119612
The stupid way they did energy makes it a terrible idea to run 2 color decks, so all these extra damage and resistence things would just fuck you up, they are not a real strategic element.

Misty is a legit bad card and when water gets real energy support like Gardevoir or Serperior then you can cry about it.

Half of what makes Arbok good was his type advantage into m2. The other half was darks lack of good options, and Arbok was dropped in favor of Scolipede recently. And with only 80 HP Galvantula isn't tanky enough to actually take advantage of trapping anything important. Arbok could trap Pika and take a non-Gio boosted Circuit.

Celebi is just a shittier Mewtwo. You need Serpior for it to be a legitimate threat. The problem is Psychic has the most draw cards out of every type Grass only has Caterpie and even that requires a 1 energy investment.

Had a really good duel against that Starmie/Lumineon deck, came down to his Potion in hand vs my Gren to undo it. Btw if you guys are running Starmie anything, Gio is really worth running since it throws a huge wrench in Drudd’s setup.

pokemon TCG is the toddler game of TCGs but I do think that the new booster has made battles take dramatically longer as some people actually have to think things through, trying to play around Drud, etc

You realize the battling isn't supposed to be taken seriously, right? It's mainly a collecting gacha

the person going second should not be able to play supporters on their first turn, would balance the a little more.

>>57119817
this game is so easy, what are you finding complicated about other decks besides blaine?
>>
>>57119832
even in those cases I'd want to go second just to keep my opponent from getting the advantage that comes with going second.

I haven't unboxed Pokémon cards in like 27 years. The Chatot card from Temporal Forces is calling to me, but I'm a gambler, so I wanna buy TF Booster Boxes. Where could I buy them instamatically from, retail wise? Are they still available outside of online shops?

damn, this gyrados/druddigon/greninja deck is really good, just went 10-3 with it.
the ability to chip damage anything into gyrados range is so strong, many times my opponents could not attack cause it would put them in range of a revenge kill from gyrados or Gary+greninja.

I really underestimated this deck. As a Mewtwo player, this matchup is fucking TOUGH. Pikachu seems like an issue, but that's not a terrible place to be at. Part of me thinks you can just play Sharticuno and some gios instead of the frogs to streamline your draws and find Gyrados more often.
This deck should not be underestimated though. Maybe it's just bc I almost always play M2, but this matchup is BAD for m2
>>
>>57119883
is it just me or is Aero's ability useless too, there's very few cases where you're worried about an active pokemon evolving as opposed to a snivy or ralts sitting in the back.

2 old Raichu
2 Pika ex
2 zappy boy

1 lt surge

This is where I'm at with Pika right now. I think Dedenne is excellent. High variance, but excellent.
You could trim red card for Sabrina if you want, but if youre expecting m2 and Celebi everywhere, if stick to the red card.
Not playing Raichu is bad I think.
New Pikachu is microscopically better than the old I think, but maybe that's wrong.

I think the only deck that suffers from Aero is Blaine.

do you let your free packs stack up so you can open 2 at back to back or do you just open them immediately when they are available?

Drudd + Rk9 + Gren is unironically not bad, but I find that I need both Gio and Sabrina a lot and cannot fit them due to having X Speed as well. 1 Leaf would be better over 2 X speed maybe
Anyone got the optimal build?

I really like the consistency of the card artwork in this set, with the handful of recurrent locations shared amongst the backgrounds of the cards to show they're all living on the same island. I'm hoping they keep reusing this theming for future Mythicals in the game, would be a nice little backstory

retard, Pika is extremely consistent and doesn't need turn 1 Pika Ex to win. Blaine is also very easy to get running.

No deck "cannot brick", but the ones I listed are the least likely to.

I posted this a couple threads back but I actually switched over to Flareon because it’s easier on the energy reqs and it’s only 1 prize. The extra bulk/damage on Arcanine is nice but Flareon plays a little smoother and can also hit out of the gate as Eevee

Mewtwo
With the addition of slab, you truly hit a new level of consistency that no other deck in the format has.
I had a game where I didn't find m2 until my 4th turn, and I easily rolled my opponent's strong Pika draw because I had gard + leaf turn 4.
I'd say over half of the games you have less than 10 cards in your deck by turn 2. Absolute madness.
Gyrados is an issue though.

It's easier to play around than you may think. Leaf is absolutely insane in M2. Usually it's trivial to have a M2 on the bench ready to one shot mew. Mew can be very good. I won't deny that, but it's not some sort of auto win

So can we all agree that Gyarados needs an immediate nerf ?
It's 100% the most broken deck in the game not even Mewtwo (Pre-MI)ever had this kind of dominance because it had a decent chance of bricking.
Gyarados won't even brick

Wonder picks are a relatively reliable way to get EX mons, it's just too bad you will never get immersive cards if you don't have luck with packs.
Crown Rares is understandable but they should have a 5* wonder pick for immersive cards

>>57120246
A KO has priority over poison, not over counter abilities like those of Poli or Drud, which give you a tie.
>>
>>57120244
I don’t agree with the Gyara dickriding, but Celebi is common simply for being the shiny new toy. The deck isn’t super consistent, and there are several relevant decks that can hit the 130 break point quickly.
>>
>>57120244
The game is just artificially rigging your Stage 1/2 servine/serperior draws to be late/never right now so Celebi isn't actually doing well right now to keep genetic apex f2p players from rioting, they'll remove this handicap in the next update and you'll start seeing Celebi dominate and Gyarados will get exposed.

You need to go into solo mode a bit to get promo cards and hourglasses so you may have to build a working deck at least but PVP is entirely optional. Even the hourglasses offered by PVP is given out for just playing even if you lose, so you can just do a bunch of games and concede immediately

2x Druddigon
2x Dragonite Family
1x Greninja family
2x Oakball
2x Leaf
The rest of the trainer/item cards is really down to playing the deck and seeing what issues you come up with and what cards can solve them.
There's probably a better use for the 3 slots that the Greninja family takes but that's what I run and can't think of anything else and I've got brainrot from the event 45 wins so I can't be bothered to even try to come up with something.
My point is Druddigon is the best wall available, Leaf is essential the rest is down to you

No the Vaporeon category is Gyarados decks that run Vaporeon. The Arcanine and Charizard categories both run Moltres and Arcanine too.
The total breakdown is

15 Gyarados decks (2 with Vaporeon, 13 without)
8 Pikachu decks (4 with Raichu, 4 with Zebstrika)
4 Mewtwo decks
4 Moltres decks (2 with Charizard, 2 without)
1 Golem deck

Just beat a Blaine with Mememetal by sheer dumb luck, but I don't think it'd ever work reliably in the current meta. Blaine, Celebi, and Mewtwo can all stomp through Mememetal's stall. He definitely needs a wall to let him energize first. Although he's still fun to use and Leaf is an amazing boon to him.

The "matchmaking" is designed to make you face decks your deck is supposed to be bad against, but it sometimes bricks. Replacing 1 meta card with a non-meta card bricks it almost always.
>>
>>57120654
Early game bench sniping severly hurts the deck as previously mentioned (>>57120655). Aside from that, Charizard is the only ex in the game at the moment that can cleanly snipe it in one attack. The Charizard ex deck playstyle is also good into Gyarados, because Moltres ramping energy early avoids Drudd counter damage.

Gyarafags never learn

if you can get aero before a celebi deck evolves their serperiors you kill their deck meta.

But yeah the issue with him is that there's no deck right now that wants to evolve the active, ideally everyone is building up on the bench
>>
>>57120779
It's not amazing all the time, but if you can curve into Serperior in time, it's a 100 HP basic with a 2 energy 90 damage attack and that's nothing to scoff at.
At worst it's just a 100 HP wall which can poke away at the opponent which is solid.

i too am personally getting sick of pulling the same full arts over and over and over.

I've been testing the Aerodactyl ex Primeape/Marshadow deck and at first glance it just seems like Aerodactyl simply slapped in since it also uses fighting energy, but it's actually a bit more than that. Primeape and Marshadow are the main core of the deck and they work well together, but sometimes you also need a little more firepower. Aerodactyl works because fossils are not basic Pokemon, so it's basically a side win condition that will not interfere with your starting hand and Pokeball searches

Is this shit actually good or are you just dunking on people for the highlights? Really like Galvantula but it feels like a strong breeze would take his ass out. I get that he only exists to "trap" and then die / swap out but at 2 energy to do that it looks cumbersome.
>>
The Flareon tech is real man. You can just build 3 energy on an Eevee against Celebi and the second you draw into a Flareon you instantly win the game.
Is there anything other than DruddNinja it fits into? Eevee doesn't fit well into a Moltres or Blaine focused deck. Maybe just throwing it in a Pigeot EX deck and pumping up whichever has a better matchup?

It NEEDS to be gated by energy or evolution. Dropping a new ponyta and hitting for 70 on turn 2 would be broken as fuck. I do think it should work with Arcanine (non ex) and Salazzle.

I don't know it seems more to me like he's just slapped in there because he's the highest HP and damage combination that fighting has right now on a stage 1. He's basically the fighting equivalent of Gyarados, except when you compare them Head to Head he's bad. The good news is that he's fast and occasionally his ability is going to be relevant, but you really can't count on itbut you really can't count on it

It's Arbok but trades 10 hp for 10 damage. The idea is to start chunking active pokemon that has energy on it putting them behind on energy in a situation they can't escape before they have any chance to set up.
Just like Arbok, if you curve into it early and they don't start with a sacrificial tank in the active and something to build in the back then you will probably just win, but that's a matter of luck.

I used a variation of this, using standard Mankey and the new 1-energy Primeape or just Farfetchd instead to be even faster. Some builds forgo Marshadow altogether. It works surprisingly well from my testing, but fatter HP ex Pokemon that Marshadow cannot finish off will crumple the deck

Promo Mankey goes with Fight Back Primeape since it wants to hurt itself to maximize the effect

I actually hate these groups. Nothing wrong with keeping your circle of influence small, especially if you aren’t using a macro to speed things up, but let’s not beat around the bush. These guys are almost all in it for attention and praise. If that’s from Koreans only? That would be discrimination (not that I give a fuck).

Just an FYI for anons: these groups are exceptionally annoying to participate in. It’s nothing but attention seekers and the biggest retards you can imagine (who also ruin the process for everyone else).

It's decent for a non-ex but the meta is too fast right now. You lose if you go first. If you go second and draw them both, that's 100 damage on a Pokemon that can't retreat which you can then deal another 70 damage to. The problem comes after, like you said, it's fragile and easy to revenge kill. It needs something to come after it but there is nothing fast enough in this meta (other than the EX like Pikachu I'm intentionally not using). That's why I'm trying Tauros, it hasn't done anything yet other than stall, 3 energy is too slow for this meta. Raichu depending on the variant is either too fragile or doesn't hit hard enough. I'm waiting to try Magneton but I can just tell it will be clunky. I know the entire design of electric types is low HP and high attack but a chunky electric type would be great as a follow up. Heck I would take something with Explosion.

tldr: just non-meta fun to bully metafags
>>
>>57121037
again, you're not doing that always. Just once. There's people that get super filtered by PvP, their only chance is PvE but even then they might fold to a simple Venu EX battle, so giving them all the rewards at once is good design leaving the tickets for challenge if they feel engaged enough. For people like you and me it is different, you get the same amount of EXP but in a long lasting event because you're a battle maniac, you need to defeat people to get your dopamine fix. You will get only double the rewards than the little kids and the super busy people that can't keep up playing all day all days. It is fair and balanced.

>change an item or supporter

So what's a good Fire/Water deck setup to actually potentially swing with Drudd every now and then? 90 damage for 3 is fairly pricy but I feel like 110/120 swinging after roughskin (potentially with Gio) hits a decent amount of breakpoints

New Golem most of the time is just better than Ex Machamp. Also new aerodactyl is the 2nd worst ex in the game.

Seconding that adding Flareon fixes Druddinja's issue of being decent to good vs most decks but eating shit to Celebi.
It's funny because I assume my opponents are just assuming it's a 12 year old deck when they see Druddinja+Froakie+Eevee, but then after they get their first KO you switch in Eevee and surprise evolve into Flareon to deal 130 to their 5 energy Celebi.
>>
>>57121137
There are times where its worth, but yeah sadly it seems the optimal way to play drudd is to just toss it out as a wall and build something op in the back. Its why gara and greninja are so effective. Gyarados is an OP stage 1, and frog acts as a giovanni that allows you to one shot mewtwo.

It is missing a lot. Mewtwo is hard to kill unless you get him on turn 2 with Joltik and curve into it. You also have to account for 2 Potions. Druddigon is good, I might try it but this deck really needs to be doing more damage. You only need all the supporters but when you don't draw into them it feels really bad.

>>
>>57121276
Gen 5 is why
>>
Maybe the schizos are right? Seems like the game is purposely throwing starmie/articuno in my fire deck’s face to try and slow down my ~80% win rate. I lose to lucky Misty plays more than anything else in this game, regardless of the deck I use.

so you pokebal the karps

That would certainly be an improvement for me.

You discard most of the fossils, and leave one or two for Sabrina.

It's the new mouthbreather deck, I'm not particularly surprised. As expected it has dumb players that put too much energy on a single Celebi instead of spreading it out because of WOW HUGE NUMBER
>>57121349
I already included gyarados ex doe. As the original poster I disagree with everything but moltres ex. Mew ex is a curious case since most people have no idea how to use it so I don't mind it
>>57121345
If you don't run moltres ex you're based in my book. If you do, you're better than kantozardfags, but still cringe
>>57121356
I'm a Brockchad, currently testing this, but I dislike how Drudiggon just sits there doing nothing, even if it performs decently. I tried Dugtrio for a long time but haven't made it work well enough yet since I run out of deck space
>>
I've never seen a Mewtwo player fail on a slab. It always draws pokemon for them.
>>
>>57121381
I want Brock to work but it still feels too slow
>>
>>57121377
I got 2 pity concede from Mewtwo players, one for the 5 consecutive medal, one for when I made an obvious misplay. Makes me unable to hate them.
>>
>>57121382
Oreo is too powerful, you can even use it outside psychic decks.
>>
>>57121386
Honestly I am fine with how fast you can get to a charged golem if you don't get completely bricked, and the new version has a lot more staying power. The old one usually would KO an ex pokemon and then instantly die, which often resulted in a tie in my games.
I would just buff onix to be honest, let golem be slow, but at least make onix a standout earlygame powerhouse when combined with brock, so that it can reliably buy time for golem or machamp

if i dont get a regular dragonite from the pack or wonderpick im finna snap
>>
>>57121382
all i did was fail slabs so i stopped playing that deck
>>
>>57121381
>because of WOW HUGE NUMBER
In my case it's because I need at least 10 provided energy on Celebi to do 150 damage. Too many tails. It's not a fun deck to play at all.
>>
>>57121147
I've given this a shot but it's yet another one of these cards that looks interesting but that you can't play because EX cards are too fast and too strong.
No matter how pathetic it is to bitch about balance constantly, this game would really be a blast without EX cards, so many more fun strategies would be viable than stacking energies ASAP on an EX card.

Name a more iconic duo than mistyfag and brown skin

Celebi emblem and misplaying.
>>
>>57121414
If I were to (god forbid) play this, I'd just go by average damage you can expect. If you put 3 energy on a single Celebi, it still does an average of 150 damage per turn with Jungle Totem. Beyond that point, it might be a better idea to start charging up the other one to not just lose on the spot when your active one dies or whiffs an attack
>>
>>57121146
>God packs on the worst pack so far that you can God Pack on
My condolences, getting a God pack back when it was still only Genetic Apex actually meant something. A lot of those cards are ass.
>>
>>57121434
The active ones always whiffs an attack and the backup one does too, so I need overprovisioning. I only start attaching to the 2nd one after the first one has 5.
>>
>>57121349
bro you forgot golem decks...
>>
>>57121445
And just to be sure, also add Machamp ex, Marowak ex, Blastoise ex, fucking cancer Venusaur ex and Gardevoir to get rid of the memes.

I imagine it's going to have a niche if they add cards that allow you to pull shit from your deck and use it to evolve shit right away, specifically if those cards require it to be in the active spot

>How can this be a problem?
I am missing a lot of the other full arts. I basically only have 4 full art cards while I have 14 full arts of that set.

>Are you really picking from God packs on the the regular?
Never had a single god pack.

Naw, your deck is still missing arbok. Only 4 evo lines???
