>>57129451We gonna use that now?
>>57129453She's into it.
>>57129458what do you mean? thats how you say it
All of my basics and Pokeballs are in these last 8 cards.I still won. He flipped TT on both of his Celebis.
>>57129451It's him... the differ...
>>57129466i bet some kids 20 years ago were pissed that charmander hit their bulbasaur for +20 and squirtle hit charmander for +20 but their bulbasaur was neutral against squirtle
I tried that one dude's Melmetal Druddigon deck. It was disappointing as expected.
>>57129469START BEGGING
>>57129470Fuck, I woke up my roomie.

>>57129466Based. Deck list?
>>57129487>this game>skill
>>57129485SHE GAVE HIM A DOLLAR
>>57129487Post list.
>>57129489>Deck list?It's not really anything. It's just the Lumineon/Vaporeon/Starmie deck that I thought about a while back but never actually played. Undefeated so far, but just off Starmie and then Vaporeon being able to be a wall. No opportunities for Lumineon plays yet.
>>57129498can sub mew for farfetch or 1 drudd
>>57129504oops I have 2 xspeeds in here not included for some reason
>Stupid child made the OP again>Fucked it up, againMake it searchable, fool.
>>57129504that's 18 cards you fraud
>>57129507If fossilmons cannot be searchable neither can this thread
>>57129506>>57129509
What's the server to join to get the discord tranny wonderpick bots?
>>57129513Nice try glowie
>>57129503I say drop the X Speed for a second Finneon then. When you have two mons with zero retreat cost, do you really need it?
Whoever suggested to add budding and Mew EX to my Dragonite deck it actually works perfectly thanks
>>57129518>When you have two mons with zero retreat cost, do you really need it?Eevee needs it. Vaporeon likes it. It's not an "end game" deck, you cannot compete later on.
What changed people's opinions on Arcanine Ex deck (moltres ex + arcanine ex)?In the first weeks it was called shit and one of the worst overall EX cards. Now it's considered a high tier and consistent deck?
>>57129534Troll?
Another fish down
>>57129534it was me
>>57129513The surfacelevel one is just the first result when searching 'pokemon tcg pocket discord', mostly servicable.The better one most people here seem to now be leeching off of, though, is this guy's https://www.youtube.com/@Bropenings, pointed people that way last Tuesday and it's still the best one I know of. Higher density of autists botting on fresh accounts, as opposed to just random instafilled normal users with twenty recently opened packs.Can also just click on random youtube TCGP videos and see if they have channels linked anywhere, 's how I found his.
>>57129542what if draco meteor did bonus damage to fire and water pokemon?
>>57129503So I won the first 3 games with this despite bricking (see first screen shot), but now it just loses. It bricks 100% of the time it seems like. I've never started with a hand where I was like "yeah this is good". Lumineon is a bad card to be your only Pokemon. Vaporeon is a bad card to be your only Pokemon. The games it wins are carried hard by Starmie EX.
nips are hilarioushttps://x.com/delraich66/status/1871390600735715711
>>57129542I beg the differ.
What is up my fellow pokesexuals. We gayming tonight or what lads???
>>57129555eh I'm begging the differ right now
>>57129534I think it's always been decent. but Mew EX and Volcarona are both good supports for it, and Charizard is too slow for this meta. so I guess it's got a boost
greninja or starmie for gyarados support
>>57129547I wish, then I wouldn't auto lose against Charizard
>>57129558starmie is way better
>>57129556You begging the differ? I’m begging to sniff her… like braaaaap nom saiyin my nigga?Yee haw boy
>got clowned on by lickitung rolling 5+ heads 3 times in a rowThat's enough gameplay for today
>>57129551>"You were truly magnificent, Celebi. I will never forget you as long as I live."
>>57129539no, im srs
>>57129445I don't like the gyarados deck. Greninja+drugg+gyarados is just way too many pokemon cards.
>>57129571Just cut out fagninja. He sucks ass anyway. Put in the most fuckable Pokemon instead or some shit
>>57129546Thanks, decided I didn't care enough to look through that bullshit though.
>>57129577he helps make mewtwo/Dragonite one shot
>>57129534>What changed people's opinions on Arcanine Ex deck (moltres ex + arcanine ex)?In this meta, the breakpoints you need to hit are 120/130 for Mew EX, Celebi EX, and then whatever else those numbers hit like Zapdos and Pikachu. Arcanine can hit all of these with Giovanni. Additionally, """Charizard EX""" (i.e. Moltres) got Mew EX themselves, which counters Mewtwo EX, which is basically the other deck you need to be able to hit that Arcanine does not already take care of. Arcanine being 1 energy faster and being a Stage 1 instead of a Stage 2 makes it both faster (assuming bad flips) and more consistent while still being able to hit the things it needs to. Venusaur is dead in favor of Celebi, and Charizard is dead but is countered by Mew EX even if it wasn't. The only deck it doesn't take care of is Gyarados EX, and Mew EX doesn't really deal with Gyarados EX either. It's possible Charizard sees a resurgence due to this, but I don't play that deck so I don't really know how the matchups go as the person playing it. Maybe Charizard is still too slow and inconsistent to even deal with Gyarados, especially if they flip heads on Misty and you don't flip heads on Moltres.
>>57129569It's just godlike
>>57129580but so does druddI think vaporeon is way better than greninja for energy reallocation while youre waiting to draw gyarados
>>57129558I haven't played a Starmie Gyarados, but Greninja/Drudd/Gyarados is completely busted. And it feels good to play, like any meta deck does, but it also kinda feels like it's a bit jank or a bit of a brew, so it's fun too.
>>57129578Yeah that's fair, I personally find more fun in metagaming systems like this than just playing games normally, but it's definitely still a timesink. Channel owner gives a full deep dive on the mechanics of it in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE-qHe_VHdU, if you ever feel like circling back around - it IS really consistent once you have it sorted and a friend request macro set up
>>57129571>Greninja+drugg+gyarados is just way too many pokemon cards.I've been playing this deck since before the YouTubers started making videos about it, and one of the first things I did is a cut it to just 1 Druddigon.
I like the Arcanine deck but there are no stylish Arcanine cards, I shan't be playing it.
How Melmetal xisters cope about Golem exposing them as frauds, aswell how they will never get goot metal support in a billion of years?
whats the counterplay to your opponent flipping 4 heads with misty t1?

>>57129588>, but it's definitely still a timesinkI actually don't think it's that much of a time sink. The first day I bit the bullet and became a metagaming WPer, I spent hours doing it and I got no fucking hits at all. However now I just check the dick sword's confirmed packs, check to see if I can send friend requests, follow the threads that are confirmed if I don't get in, and I just do this in the morning and at night. Takes like 5 minutes, regens WP energy, and feels much better than spending hours hitting duds. I hated myself for deleting my friends the first few days, but now I'm happy I did it and I wish I had done it sooner, like back when that godpack excel spreadsheet video was first posted here, but I thought "nah I'm not that gay". I'm glad I turned gay though.
>>57129601Johto will fix it. You'll see.
>>57129602DDOS tactical nuke
>>57129605Vaporeon decks are pretty fun when you start retreat roaching other players
Guys how do i zoom out so i can show you my sick hauls
>>57129602Die
>>57129445Subject doko?
>>57129621oopsie forgot because it's late and im tired
>>57129602If it's Sharticuno you're fucked, if it's a basic hope they brick or you kill it on the bench with Hitmonlee or something
>>57129610i wish leaf was my gf
>>57129617You spent fifty seven hours in photoshop like the rest of us!
Will they add animated cards or is that too much effort
>>57129628Fuck my photoshopjutsu is weak these days
>>57129605If your opponent got to open with M2 instead of Mew you probably would have gotten shredded. Good job hard punishing the slow start though. Mew is hard countered by that shit.
>>57129630What exactly do you mean by animated cards? We've already got immersive ones
>>57129628stop making me want to pull
>>57129617Pinch the deck screen. But it won't show the number so we won't see you have 5 full art sabrinas. Also it doesn't work when deck building which sucks because it's a fast way to scroll without passing what you wanted.
>>57129635
>>57129639And immersive is honestly cool enough as it is. Does he want this game to be another Terabyte sinker?
>already bored with the new cards
>>57129639He probably means cards that have a short looping animation as they sit on the field. I NEED my Gardevoir to wink at me every 5 seconds or this game is SHIT.
>>57129639like when you play a card on the field, the artwork is aninated instead of being static
They need to add a NEW! label to the listings that we see for the first time in Wonder Pick
>>57129639Animated as in constantly animated in preview and battle, probablyAlso immersive bad
>>57129654There is an indicator that shows the cards you already have
>>57129657>immersive badAbsolutely not.
Is the Spreadsheet upated for Mews Expansion pack?
>>57129635I beg the differ????
>>57129657>immersive badExplain why
>>57129647the next set will fix it, trust the plan
>>57129677well I hope it would
25 wins! Only 20 more to go!I fucking love killing Celebi decks with Golem
>>57129670they uglythe rainbow border full art cards are prettier even if they don't get any cool 3d effect
>>57129670Not a fan of these pre-rendered live2d videosPikachu is the worst offender with its visible white void
>>57129687Immersives don't have a 3D effect, unless you're talking about the expanded art inside the cards themselves.
>opponent used Gary thinking it would save his Mewtwo from my Mew one shotting him>but I had Giovanni in hand
>>57129670I'm not him but I think that Immersives are the ugliest cards in the game by a mile.
I like Immersives.I also like PLANETA 3D cards.
>>57129699The Charizard one is pretty cool. M2 is bad and mew is ok.
>>57129693>>57129699Horrid tastes
I need HELP. I joined one of those wonderpick discord servers and now I'm being blackmailed to start taking HRT and post pics of myself in my sister's panties. What the fuck do I do?
>>57129698Mew is ... le based?
>>57129699Mewtwo is the only one I don't like, the others are nice. they're way better than the Crowns and CG Pokemon
>>57129707Can't help you bro better start dressing up
>>57129445I'm am absolutely sick of using stage 2 pokemon. It's so fucking stupid to have a hand full of no basics and all stage 2s and you can't even develop them or put energy on them so you're falling even more turns behind. Idc I'm only using basics and maybe stage 1s from now on. All of the strongest cards and decks are all basics and stage 1s. Pikachu, moltres, arcanine, Celebii, mewtwo, eggecutor, Articuno, starmie. All on the trash is stage 2s which are nearly impossible to develop on curve. Blastoise, machamp, gengar, vileplum, etc etc.God help you if try to run 2 stage 2 lines
>>57129711The crowns are the worst. They're an absolute eyesore
>>57129705>mew is ok.Celebi is the Immersive. Mew has a Rainbow border (god tier)>>57129711>they're way better than the Crowns and CG PokemonBig disagree. The only reason in my mind that anyone would play an Immersive is that it's the only version they have of the card. If you're going to show off luck or whale status, you play Crown, so even if it's uglier than the Sparkly (which has the same art), it at least has a purpose. Immersives have no purpose. They aren't rare enough to brag about, and they aren't cool/pretty enough to actually use unless you don't have any other versions. >>57129706Nah, Immersives are even uglier than worst normal art in the game on any card. Rainbow Border FA = Trainer FA >>> Sparkly FA > Crown Rare >>> Immersive
>>57129715>All of the strongest cards and decks are all basics and stage 1s. Pikachu, moltres, arcanine, Celebii, mewtwo, eggecutor, Articuno, starmie.You forgot Gyarados.
>>57129715active/battle stage 2s are in a bad spot rnthe only good ones i can think of rn are scolipede and golemthe current meta stage 2 mons are all bench pokemon (greninja, serperior, gard)they really need to fix this because losing a game due to your stage 1 being buried at the bottom of the deck is not fun at all
>>57129718well, agree to disagree anon. I quite like all the immersives except M2
>>57129718>>57129725The actual flex is running one each of the highest and second-highest rarities; demonstrates completion over what could otherwise just be a case of doubles.Crown + Immersive, Rainbow + 3D FA are the way to go.
>>57129733Double Crown is still a bigger flex. If you even have one Crown rare, you are statistically likely to also have the Immersive or Rainbow.
Picture taken moments before another forfeit.Since Lapras is my favorite franchise mon, I'm happy to have found a niche for it.
TOP RIGHT TILL THE DAY I FUCKING DIE!
>>57129717I'm missing 2/3 crowns on GA base set and coming up to having enough pack points, but would rather redeem them on a card that didn't look so bad
>>57129752>Leaf is substantially easier to pull than Erika, Sabrina or MistyWhat a slut
>>57129741Crown plus immersive both with flair is the biggest flex
>>57129721Here's your stage 2 support bro
>got the FA serperiorMerry Christmas Eve
>>57129718>Mew has a Rainbow border (god tier)I was referring to the GA immersive Mew
>>57129763>""rare"" super ball>countless standard reprints exist>this one can't be used at tournaments because??
>>57129771Oh, I'm retarded. I forgot that was even a card.
>>57129763The card that will save Red Card.
>>57129718>They aren't rare enough to brag about,hahaha, yeah, not rare at all!>tfw no immersives or crown rares yet>only 7 double star rares
>>57129763This would be even better if it kept the 7-card here
is there a masterball card
>>57129752Congrats anon.
>>57129718The immersives are way cooler than the ugly CGI slop
>>57129445>no thread titleYou fucked up, nigger
>>57129787Yes, it's an Ace Spec card, Ultra Ball except you don't need to discard
>>57129752for me it's top middle
Eeby deebyEeby DeeI demand a full art Caterpie.

i just got my fourth fucking Celebi ex from my daily packso i dusted him, one other Celebi, and two of my extra farts (thank you Gyarados) and bought the special shop playmat
>>57129715It's so funny they shat out an ex to mess with stage 2s they constantly have an issue with them being not worth it over just using basics
>>57129605>he unironically uses "hawk tuah"Nah, you immediately became one of the cringe waterfaggots by doing that. Fuck off to reddit.
>>57129747nice anonpre-GI i did a Lapras deck with Gyarados, Misty and Seaking and just prayed for heads on everythinggood to know the new set opens up some variety
>>57129605I don't get how a Kirlia could die out of receiving a blowjob but okay
I fucking hate Druddigon, boring to play against, boring to use, he's turned the whole game into pure tedium.
>>57129816I'm not that guy, but I still can't even deal with people who unironically use "yeet"

So lobby out of the event and suddenly all the Misty garbage evaporates? My fire deck's win rate appreciates this.

>>57129931He probably made a change to his deck, like 1 single card, and then forgot to switch the Fire energy back off. This has never actually happened to me, but I find it incredibly annoying that this occurs.
>>57129934it's happened to me so many times, I just concede as soon as I notice. no point in wasting time playing it out
>>57129933yeah, it's great, isn't it? it's a fun way to spend 5-10 minutes winding down at the end of the day, and I'm glad I don't fall behind for not no-lifing. I like the pace a lot.

45 wins are too much
>>57130350Prefer it over 5 win streak, I fucking hate that one. This is a game of coinflips for fuck sake
I really hate this game's playerbase, bunch of faggots who never try anything by themselves, just parrot what some wiki site tells them is the "top deck"Never saw a single golem in game then suddenly a guy wins some titty streamer tournament and now everyone is playing the new epic top deckLike all they needed to do was read what the card does then pair it with brock who obviously supports it but every single one of these faggots needed someone to do it for them first and confirm it works, because god forbids they lose a PvP game themselves because of a bad deck right?

>>57130411based, I can finally start playing fire decks again without being scared of mistycucks
Every current meta deck is about building energies on one super strong card and 90% of players in versus play meta decks, so no one really cares about drudd one way or the other, as they're not interested in chip damage on a wall, they gladly wait until their 100+ damage move is ready
>>57130350Tis fine since it's a longer period AND it's not consecutive.

>>57130469defend GARY
>>57130469My opponent failed to draw a Psychic type with it. Never mind that they beat me anyway because they didn't need to draw a Psychic type as Gardevoir was already in their hand and they were just wasting both my and their time.
you earned your golden badgeyou go for the 50 battle mission? or you pass on the 2000 stardust?
>>57130487Shinedust will probably play a role in trading so I will go for it
>>57130487I will not equip the 2 emblem
>>57130432Not the full picture. Decks like M2 would ordinarily be happy to setup on a passive wall, but the problem comes in when M2 actually needs to attack. Rough skin puts it directly within Gyarados knockout range, for one example. >they're not interested in chip damage on a wallThis sucks for the health of the game, overall. We had a few viable decks / strats that were about chipping in the last meta. Now those are dead unless they’re chipping the bench. Drudd slows down what was supposed to be a faster paced game.
>>57130491why not? looks better than the 1 one
>>57130497No one cares about being number 2.
>>57130432>no one really cares about drudd one way or the other, as they're not interested in chip damage on a wall, they gladly wait until their 100+ damage move is readyonly time drudd really threw me was in a recent match playing Arcanine, the recoil + dmg from drudd was just enough to put me in range to be one shot by Starmie (I was praying he wouldn't be able to evolve)that's when Volcarona can come in handy to hit the bench but it can be a pain to set up. anyway fire is the only decent deck I have so I'm stuck with it until I pull another gyarados
i will not play mewtwo im not philipino or taiwanese to treat the game like a job i will not stream on tiktok for 15 viewersi will get punished for it
>>57129849Anyone?
>>571304982 is greater than 1 however
>>57130502the white man marches on
>>57130495>Drudd slows down what was supposed to be a faster paced game.NTA but I absolutely welcome a slower paced game, not a fan at all of energy acceleration cards like Moltres, Serperior, Misty, etc since I feel like they on top of the go 1st vs go 2nd energy imbalance need to be reworked. Idek how people see Turn 1 'getting to evolve sooner' as any kind of advantage since Turn 2 will get to evolve and possibly do damage, which could be worse for Turn 1 if they can't even draw the card to evolve into to begin with. Meanwhile, it's not like you have to draw into your energy.
>>57130504Until 3 comes along
>>57130480Upstart in a 20 card deck is huge. And drawing pokemon is all that matters most of the time. Your Potion going to the bottom of your deck so you can draw the actually good cards is a good thing.But above all else, the issue is that it's a buff to what was already the best deck.
You can only display 3 emblemsEventually, all 3 of my emblems will just be hidden Pokemon onesAll the PVP ones will be useless, so might as well not exist
>>57130509not really, 2 will ALWAYS be greater than 1, no matter if 3, 4 or 99 comes
>>571305141 will always be the best2 will diminish in value in time
i feel like people have a problem with swiping up
>>57130504OGs will always flex the number 1 badge. Newfags will never get that prestige.

marowak ex just 160 my bitch black ass dude
Lumineon and starmie ex deck is pretty fun since both have 0 retreat. I also put greninja in but I'm about to remove since I never get to even put him on the bank. Is there another poke that would go well with this deck? Maybe gyarados ex but I don't have it yet.
>>57129445>Dkayedfag doesn't know how to make threads
>>57130538Phonetic languages have stuff like that more often you think.English is pretty great for technical and descriptive writing but it's not really aesthetic.
>>57130501Yeah I don't see how Arcanine is so popular with Drudd around.
>>57130586Just kill the fucking Drudd, you think they're gonna have something ready to dump 100 damage on you before you're done setting up?
>>57130593You don’t play the game lmao. A turn 4 / 5 Arcanine is going to clean house, but for that to happen, you need Growlithe + Arcanine + Moltres + two heads. It’s not uncommon for the opponent to setup nearly as quickly if not more quickly.
>Golem kills the first Arcanine>Ignore it then Sabrina the other Drudd back to the front
>>57130469Mewtwo is a really bad card. Giving it one of the best support in the game (Gardevoir) was not enough. With Mew and Slab it's finally good.
So the only purpose of mew in a Mewtwo deck is to keep it with 2/1 energy on the bench to threaten any counters?
>>57130627It's your counter if you go first, since your Mewtwo will be slower than your opp's Mewtwo.
I like collecting cards in other languages. Anyone have cards in Italian, German or Korean I can wonderpick from? This is my code 1537987492840731

WOOOOOOOOOO MERRY CHRISTMAS7419191139528068
I haven't played Mewtwo since the miniset. How is it? I also don't have 2 Slabs, so I didn't want to get a wrong impression of new Mewtwo's power before I actually play it.
>>57130700You need 2 slabs and at least one Leaf. It's the most consistent t1 deck right now.
>>57130707Is the mirror just whoever draws better, slash whoever goes second, slash whoever has Mew/Gary?
>>57130700it's pretty good it's going to take an oppressively powerful dark deck to make people stop using m2. Or a few powercreep expansions
>>57130708>slash>/Whoever get Gardevoir and Mew on board first.
>>57130700The pre-expansion deck is still strong, slabs have improved it.

>>5712947520 years ago was 2004, we were playing with FRLG decks, so I suppose that starter trio was in play back then. That said, the regular tcg doubled damage on weakness, not +20

>>57129867Am I supposed to recognize this character
Oh thank god. I thought i was cursed with wonderpick lately
they're never discontinuing genetic apex r-right?that's just the starter deck for this game and will be available forever, yes?
ARE GOD PACK RATES BOOSTED FOR CHRISTMAS??? First one, haven't pulled shit since launch, holy crap
Oh yeah 5321011352488602
>>57130873Would make sense for them to handle it like the tcg and rotate them out into some kind of expanded mode eventually. We'll probably have them quite a while longer though.
>>57130874Wow, anon. Santa let's you have 2 shotas for Christmas? Lucky.
>>57130873If they do retire Genetic Apex that also means reworking the new player's starter deck + first free pack pull sequence
>>571308887Clearly lolis
I've wonderpicked 4 full art trainer sby this pointI AM POWER
They fucking got me
>>57130874I still haven't opened my account's godpack, and I hope I don't open it while I'm pulling the 60 boosters for Mew. I already have everything except Immersive Celebi.
>>57130914enjoy your 5 energies
>>57130914I really don't like the concept of energy cards being part of the main deck so I can't get into the main Pokemon TCG. It's probably a non-issue and easy to draw them as needed, but I just don't like it
>>57130921Energy manipulation adds another layer to the game, I wish it was in pocket
>>57130921>he's never played MtG>he hasn't accepted the genius of landsThat said, I could never get into the Pokemon TCG as a kid because Magic was better. The appeal of Pokemon TCG Pocket, for me, is that it's a baby coinflip card game that offers me nostalgia as well.
>>57130926>landslol
>>57130926>>57130925Only other TCG I play is Yugioh really so from my perspective it feels like needing to put in a bunch of equip spells or a monster cannot attack otherwise. Probably a bad comparison, but that's just how unfamiliar I am with how the other games handle it
>>57130649Become godpack pilled anon, there's no need to suffer
>>57130946Whatever give me a slot to pull I'm going in for another try in about 20 minutes
>>57130937To be fair, I also think the Pokemon TCG handles "lands" a lot worse than Magic handles them. You are correct that they are more like equip cards in Pokemon, whereas in Magic they are just always on the field once you play them, unless something destroys them. The original post only mentioned the energies being part of the deck (rather than something that's given freely each turn) so that's the angle I was responding with.
I got a weird error where the mission compleetion notification popped up for dex before I picked the wonderpick(it was a pideot ex). I think wonder picks are predertimned as soon as you get the 5 card selection
>>57130965would make sense, everything else is predetermined too
>>57130965>WP works exactly how the game shows you in the tutorial WPNot surprised.
>>57130965It's determined as soon as you spend the stamina.
>>57130914Man this sucked. Basically the best card I got was the last one in the last pack I opened(7 packs). I’m a big gen 4 fan
>>57130965Top right bros does that mean we're disbanded?
>>57130984Its gambling little bro. Its always cheaper to just buy the card later, also youtube fags turning the hobby into a ponzi scheme isnt any better.
>>57130984>Man this suckedThat's the usual booster pack experience, don't spend money on that crap
What am I in for sisters
>>57131000I remember back in the day, and I'm talking like maybe around Gamecube era, I sold Pokemon Blue to FUCKING GameStop for literally 50 cents, so I was confident that Pokemon would be worthless forever. Ever since covid and the jewtubers grifting Pokemon hard, all the games are expensive now, Pokemon Blue is up to ~$60, and the old Pokemon cards are actually valuable now. It's pretty surreal how much the world changed in all aspects due to covid. Walmart isn't even open 24/7 anymore.
>>57131000>>57131004I didn’t pay for these
>>57130874FC ?
>>57131007victories>akshually this deck is at 42.3% in the latest titty streamer no-name tournamentfuck off it's strong as hell
>>57131012Nevermind didn't notice the crown rare Mew
>>57131007Probably several games where you have Psychic Exeggutor instead of Celebi or Serperior.
>>57131011Did you mug a kid for it?
>>57130984that prize count attack is what tcgp needsif you are winning you shouldn’t be able to accelerate that win
>>57131021I sorta just noticed them while shopping and put a bunch of packs in my pockets
>>57131022>if you are winning you shouldn’t be rewarded for winning>the losing player should be the one who is rewardedWhat kind of zommer participation trophy mindset is this? I don't think that you should be dealing more damage for winning, but neither do I think that it's fair for the losing player to be the one doing more damage for being in the losing position.
>>57131007Oink oink paypiggie
Game is ass, should have been 30 card/4 prizes (and actually had prizes). As it is it's just braindead haymaker strats.
>>57131040It is too simple and short, but its still fun to play. Druddigon already has counter play and decks are running bench snipers.
This card gives me fruitiger aero vibes
florges cincinno sucks, don't try it
>>57131024Do you plan on deleting this post, as well?
>>57131049The whole game does
quadruple digits babyyyyy#f2p
>>57131007Drop the exeggutor line. Go with pic related.
>>57131040Yeah they put next to no planning into this, you can tell by them slating the same exact PVP missions each month
>>57130926Lands suck dick to deal with, they're boring af and you have to play the coinflip mini game if you get cucked by drawing too many or too little, their "balance" only applies to standard since every other format just searches for exactly what you need on curve, they're easily the worst part of magic
Just draw better
>>57131040>>>prizeslol no
Are wonderpick cards really determined when you spend stamina?
>>57131067
>>57131072Some guys have launched wonder pick on the same account with 5 separate devices using some kind of network trick and picked a different slot on each. All returned the same card
>>57130965It probably doesn't matter but this is the dex mission I was talking about
>>57131072>Are wonderpick cards really determined when you spend stamina?No one really knows (as in no one has datamined the truth). We suspect.
>>57131064>the heart and soul of Magic>"easily the worst part"I feel like you didn't play Magic until Arena.
>>57131072>does WP really work exactly how they show you in the tutorial?I've been saying this since even before some guy quintboxed his account on an emulator and pulled a Raticate in every single position of the WP.
>>57130649Make that 10
Wonder Calvinism
i just got wonderfluted bros against pidgeot x
>>57131110Get fweed idiot
>>57131060>quads>its just trips
I found playing Mewtwo to be absolutely boring but the addition of Mew made the mirror matches incredibly fun since it counter Mewtwo but is also countered by it, so the mirror matches aren't about who got the better starting hand (partially) anymore but who manages their resources better
>>57131084Wtf is soul about the forced coin flips you have to do in order to play the game in the first place that can also cuck you even harder by drawing too many, they needed to change mulligan rules twice just to get around the fact that the game is unplayable if you don't have the right amount of lands in your opening handsPokemon tcg even had the same issue where they need to print every card with a million different color pips because everyone just searches for the exact colors you need
>>57131139I knew that you had never played Magic until you played it on Arena.
>>57130350It’s 2 a day stop being a shitter
>>57131148>only response is boomer nostalgia makes it goodI accept your concession, you should probably stick to baby commander games
>>57131166>>only response is boomer nostalgia makes it goodNo, child, I'm explaining why your wrong opinion is wrong and doesn't matter. >you should probably stick to baby commander gamesYou just keep revealing that you're a zoomer who didn't even know about Magic until Arena, and thus your opinion does not matter.
>>57130350You guys are still not done?
since you can spend real money on this I'd imagine they're going to get their assholes reamed out in the future legally because of the fake carousel and wonder pickyou can't have a gambling game that presents a false choice, that's so illegal lmfao
>>57131188I'm taking my time.
>>57131188The skip button on the carousel pretty much admits the choice doesn't matter
>>57131135It really seems like Mew Ex isn't a mon worthy of its own deck but is instead an ringer add-on to other decks.
>>57131188>since you can spend real money on this I'd imagine they're going to get their assholes reamed out in the future legally because of the fake carousel and wonder picksomeone would have to hack the game and find the code. THEN they'd have to be able to prove that the company KNEW about it and INTENDED to defraud the playerbase. Not to mention there's no doubt a line in the agreement that if you play you forego the right to sue them.Sure, they still can get sued. But the players winning is another matter.
>>57131188They tell you the rates. That's all the matters. WP is still "1/5 chance", even if it's predetermined, and the packs still have the same offer rates (presumably) even if they allow you to delude yourself into thinking you have a choice in the matter.
>>57130448If you’ve got the consecutive gold badge with the 1 on it you’re good. Nobody cares about newfag badges.
>>57131188People who spend real money on pixels deserve to be scammed.
I remember when I and everyone else were saying that Mew EX was going to be busted and played in every deck. And then there were like 1 or 2 anons who were saying Mew EX wont be that busted and it wont be played in many decks outside of Mewtwo. Anyone else remember that?
>>57131188I think it doesn't matter because you don't get access to the cards (and can't put back the cards if you don't like them) until the RNG occurs
>>57131227>Anyone else remember that?yes. it's amazing how there's no mew centric deck and everything is pretty much "mew gets shoved in"
>just hit 1500 cards and not a single full art traineris this the worst luck possible? the first FA trainer I ever saw was budding 2 days ago in wonder pick and I whiffed it
So whats the best fire deck now? I finally got 2 arcanine.
>>57131227>Mew EX was going to be busted and played in every deckHow isn't that true?
Been pulling nothing but shit like this for a week dont even have 1 Golem or Gyarados yet.
>>57131253I really don't see the appeal of FA trainer cards. I have like 4 and they just feel boring. It's not like they get cool illustrated holographic cards like the birds or Aerodactyl or Machamp. It's just them in front of a no effort background. You're not missing out on anything. In fact, when trading comes I'll probably offload mine to get more Pokemon ones.
>>57131273I'll only care about it when trainers I actually like come out, but even then the 2-diamond versions are the exact same thing so I'd still prefer actually pulling an ex card over an FA trainer
>>57131273>I really don't see the appeal of FA trainer cardsCards like Sabrina, Giovanni, Blue, Expeditioner, and Leaf (to an extent) can go in literally any deck, so you get a lot of mileage out of them in addition to their arts being better than the original card. Then there's Erika, who is really good in her deck and also a waifu. The cards like Brock and Lt. Surge are lesser desired because they aren't waifus and there's only one deck they're good in, and in Surge's case, "his deck" doesn't even always run him. There's also Blaine who fits into this category, but Blaine is a bald lunatic and his deck is RDW, so he gets a bit of a pass and is slightly below Erika tier.
>>57131273admittedly I only really want like sabrina or koga, trainers I find cool, but I like the idea that stuff like leaf or sabrina could be put in most decks
>>57131257ESL anon...
>>57129445NICE OP DICKHEAD I ALMOST COULDN'T FIND THE THREAD!!!
I feel like full art pokemon cards should have a fancy animation.
>>57131253>is this the worst luck possible?Do you have the regular art meta mons at least?>the first FA trainer I ever saw was budding 2 days ago in wonder pick and I whiffed itmake more friends. max out your friend list to increase chances of full arts.
>>57131305>I feel like full art pokemon cards should have a fancy animation.that would defeat the purpose of the the rarity of special nature of the immersives.
>>57131303same.
>>57131227I can't tell which side you're trying to imply is correct. Mew EX isn't busted or played in every deck and outside of Mewtwo decks is just a tech choice to counter specific decks.
>>57131328>I can't tell which side you're trying to imply is correct.Obviously the side that ended up being correct.
>>57130914>shitty candies
>>57131294It doesn't really make a difference to me if the generic ones can go in any deck because so could the non-FA versions. Like I said, they don't even put the characters in a cool background setting. I'd be more inclined to collect and play with one for instance if it's Misty swimming while surrounded by Water Pokemon or Erika walking over a bridge in a massive garden or Sabrina using her telekinesis to lift weights at the dojo while the karate trainers stare in awe or Surge army crawling with explosions in the background. Like they could've been creative and given us actual art for these FAs but they went extremely lazy, so I don't see what any of the fuss would be about.
>make more friends. max out your friend list to increase chances of full arts.is this true, does the game prioritize wonder picks with full arts?
>>57131372>Like I said, they don't even put the characters in a cool background setting.Eh? Yes they do.>I'd be more inclined to collect and play with one for instance if it's Misty swimming while surrounded by Water PokemonImmersive arts are garbage tier. I'm glad the FA trainers aren't Immersives.
>>57131374>is this true, does the game prioritize wonder picks with full arts?no idea lol.but more friends = more chances to get a wonderpick with a full art since: more friends = more people opening packs.
I kinda hate how bird Pokemon are regulated as colorless. It means i cant really use a deck of bird bros
Galvantula is so fucking useless.
>>57131374No. Well, maybe 1 star arts. According to the biggest wonder pick abusers there's actually about a 90% chance that a 2 star card never shows up in a friend's wonder pick. You'd at least want some friends though, so the friend exclusive wonder pick slots show up.Unless you're abusing godpull botters in which case you'd want zero friends to not dilute the chance the bot's pull shows up.
>>57131384Pidgeot EX will be top tier once it has Skarmory to tank as you evolve. Trust the plan.
Got an early Christmas present and my first Immersive Celebi today.I'm happy right now.Now all I need are two Snivy that the game refuses to give me.
>>57131049and i love it
>>57131381That's not a setting, as in they're not really anywhere.>Immersive arts are garbage tier.I don't like immersive art either, that's not what I'm saying. You can see effort in designs like the illustrated birds for instance, where Moltres flies over a volcano with Machop/choke and Zapdos is at the Power Plant. Aerodactyl also has effort with it flying over a map with an ancient aesthetic.
>>57131381I would prefer immersive trainer supports. Immersives are so much easier to pull than regular FA 2* trainer supports.
>>57131381fuck yeah Sabrina
>>57131415>Immersives are so much easier to pull than regular FA 2* trainer supports.This is true, but then you wouldn't be able to WP them *and* they would be ugly. >>57131414>I don't like immersive art either, that's not what I'm saying.In my opinion, that is what you're saying. The only cards that really depict anyone "doing" anything like you are suggesting are immersives, and they are ugly.>You can see effort in designs like the illustrated birds for instanceI think the Rainbow borders are the best looking Pokemon cards in the game, but none of them are really "doing" anything how you described. They are mostly more "abstract" visions of the Pokemon, or they are somewhat "obscured" in some way. You can see what I mean by looking at the birds, then Machamp, then Mew. I don't think there's any way you could do this with a Trainer. What are you gonna do, take something like Mew as a template, and put a tiny little Sabrina hover meditating on a mountain? I just don't think it works the same way it does for Pokemon.
>>57131273I think the reason they don't give them cool illustrated art is that they plan to make more so they don't want to put too much effort into one that would get retired anyway, but that's just my guess. I could be way off considering they gave Gyarados an epic FA and then the very next set it's the lame EX version with 3D art that's more meta relevant.
>>57131395that's what, 70 pack points total? might be worth it just to spend the points if that's all that's keeping you from the celebi ex meta deck.
>>57129445I'm tired of as soon as I play an off Metadeck, I get mirror matched into it. I don't want mirror matches. I do not want matches with type advantage/disadvantage. Let me face random decks.
>>57131449>I'm tired of as soon as I play an off Meta>deck, I get mirror matched into itWhat you're not realizing is that you're still playing meta. You need to play actual off meta in order to not get mirror matched.
so whats the prime fire deck now? This is how i got my 5 wins previously before Mythical Island came out.
>>57131457>so whats the prime fire deck now?Blaine is quicker than Charizard EX, but zard is stronger. and there are people who swear by arcanine ex.
>>57131456It isn't meta you fucking retard. When I'm playing any other deck I never see this deck. Not ever. I do not care if I see a meta deck. I'm tired of always getting mirrors.
>>57131466i know blaine is strong, i should have been more specific. Whats the prime moltres deck now? I like the playstyle, it just kinda sucks how bad gyarados dicks down moltres.
>>57131457Remove Zard, keep Arcanine, add 1 copy of Mew EX.Depending on how prevalent Gyarados EX is or becomes, people might go back to Charizard/Mew and drop Arcanine, because as it is now, Arcanine, Moltres, and Mew EX all fold to Gyarados
>>57131439There are two "categories" of rainbow rares. The "wow look at that wild pokemon in the distance!" and the ones that are just cool stylized drawings of them, like Wigglytuff and Machamp's RR.They could absolutely do both with trainers. Like for the former they could have a nice picture of Erika pruning something in a garden and for the latter they could have an action shot of Sabrina using her telekinesis with some Pokeballs, or in training with some psychic type.
>>57131476>It isn't meta you fucking retard.It is meta though, and you're the fucking retard. >I do not care if I see a meta deck. I'm tired of always getting mirrors.If you don't mind playing against meta but want to avoid mirrors, then you should consider playing an off-meta deck.
>>57131449The deck weight theory explains off-meta mirror matches.Scolipede Weezing is an actual part of the meta thoughever
>>57131479>Whats the prime moltres deck now?Still Charizard. Just does too much damage. Though there's more budget decks with the new set.
>>57130888>shotasIt's a girl
>>57131489>for the latter they could have an action shot of Sabrina using her telekinesis with some PokeballsThat could definitely be cool, like a more stylized pic related, but I don't think that's gonna happen and luckily for me (or perhaps unluckily) I do like the current style of FA Trainer cards.
>>57131510Yes, a "girl".
>>57131479In my experience, Celebi is about 65% of the meta, and Mewtwo is about 25% so if I wanted to play Moltres online then I'd play Arcanine to one shot Celebi and cut the Charizard lines for 1-2 Mew EX so that if you can't aggro down Mewtwo before they set up you'll still have an option in late game to one shot them.
>>57131479Moltres is just a tank anyway. You want your charged up pokemon to do the revenge kill, so Charizard is the only choice nowadays.
>>57129445I'm sick of playing decks that have stage 2s. This is not fun and happens way too often. Stage 2s aren't even much more powerful to make up for missing so many turns of development if you dont draw perfectly. I just don't think they're worth using. No one uses stage 3s in electric decks or psychic decks. https://files.catbox.moe/r928eb.mp4
I never noticed this warning prior to the miniset, and I've read it many times since then, but I only just now thought about it. Does the fact that this warning exists mean that trading is not going to require that you have >2 of the card you are trading?
>>57131533>no one uses Gardevoir
>>57131439>The only cards that really depict anyone "doing" anything like you are suggesting are immersivesImmersive art isn't ugly for the fact that they're doing something, it's ugly because of the art style and laziness of what's depicted. Pikachu and Celebi are just in the forest. Mewtwo has an unflattering sperg pose. Charizard is the best one among them since it's mid-battle, has a fine pose, and they didn't shy away from putting detail on everything in the image.I agree the rainbow border cards are the best looking ones, but I think it goes beyond what you're pitching as an example with Sabrina and Mew, because I don't like that Mew art to begin with. It looks like a regular art that they decided to slap the rainbow border on, not like it was a special illustration. It's part of why I don't even want it and only wanted Aero out of the new set's rainbows. Anyway, while I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with the trainers 'doing something', I don't think it hinges on them having to do something at all. Just express their humanity and personality in the real world. Giving them a Digivolution background just feels like a copout from getting to highlight that trainer. If you want an example of not 'doing something' it could be for instance Brock in the Pewter Museum surrounded by fossils (where the fossils have special holographic highlights) or Giovanni sitting in Viridian Gym in a throne-like chair with objects behind him purely coincidentally placed to resemble a giant R when viewed together.

>>57131498I never see it when I'm using any other deck. I think the algorithm works pretty much like this.>your deck type vs same type if you win you get matched more with same type or type that has advantage>if you lose you get matched more with type that you have advantage over>also you get matched into decks that win a lot vs you but not necessarily has type advantage if you win too muchthe mirror matching is trying to find what is most meta of a type or something I thinkif you have a jank deck that's multi type and the algorithm doesn't know where to place you then you get matched with other decks that don't fit and aren't categorized and scored yet.Something like this as far as I can tell. I think that's why there's so many mirrors because the algorithm is trying to score and rate which cards in these similar deck and deck types win the most. So if there's 2 different greninja decks for example it's trying to find if rather starmie or gyarados is stronger or wins more. but then it's matching gren/gyarados vs other gren/gyarados to find out what other cards are winning more. Like one of you might be running xspeed and the other leaf or potion or pokedex. This is about how it seems to be running from what I'm noticing.
>>57131543They don't. It just sits on the bench the whole time.
>>57131563>if you have a jank deck that's multi type and the algorithm doesn't know where to place you then you get matched with other decks that don't fit and aren't categorized and scored yet.I play an off-meta deck (true) and I mostly get matched into Mewtwo, Pikachu, Moltres, Blaine, and random Misty decks. Every once in a while I will see an Aerodactyl and/or Marowak deck, and every once in a while I will see a Koga deck. I haven't played that much since Gyarados got popular so I've only seen that deck 2 or 3 times.
>>57131540No, this is for the upcoming Ante gamemode they're adding soon where your opponent gets to take one of your cards if they beat you.You're probably right. You can't turn a card into flair if you only have 2 copies of it, even if it's a card that only requires you to destroy 1 copy so there's currently no way to actually get rid of cards that would justify that warning. I still would not be surprised if they require you to own 1 copy before you can trade for the second to make sure you pull for it, but maybe trading will be how they deal with packs being discontinued.
>>57131578are you winning more than losing? if so then I think it's just placing you into decks that are winning more. and you probably were seeing jank decks at first.
YOOOOO
If trading is a shit show then it doesn't really matter since they'll have made 300M+ by then anyway if the game crashes (it won't), but I will be mad if we can't trade across different rarities even as an 'equal value' sum (like if I throw in several 1 star cards and a 2 star trainer card for someone else's crown)
>>57131589>are you winning more than losing?I believe so, yes. My pet off-meta deck feels like it wins more than loses. I don't actually keep track though. I do know that when I try out a deck and it just sucks, I'll change a few cards around and maybe it still sucks, and that feels bad, and I don't feel that way about the deck I'm talking about.>you probably were seeing jank decks at first.False.>if so then I think it's just placing you into decks that are winning more. My personal head canon for the "deck weight" matchmaking (if it exists) is that the game will try to match you with opponents who have similar rarity to the cards you're running. Like, if you have more EXs in your deck you'll fight decks with more EXs. It's possible that things like FA trainers are even included in this rarity weight. At least that's what I think it tries to do. This also explains why you feel like you fight Koga only when playing Koga. I only have 1 Scolipede so I can't provide my 2 cents on this matter.
Trading will just beX00 shinedust per trade of equal rarityFor every rarity level you jump down from what the other person is offering, you have to pay 10x that amount insteadThe only wild card is if they will distinguish the different kinds of 2 star cards from each other or not (3D, illustrated, trainer)
>>57131070Git gud
>>57131624They may also do the Pokemon Go thing where it's cheap between longtime friends.
>>57131650>this is also how they counter the WP dick swordDevilish. I will hate myself if I end up regretting the fact that I unfriended all of the whales.
>>57131194No dumbass, the game could easily roll positions for each card immediately before the animation plays. If you think the animations are actually shuffling you might be a fucking retard
>>57131227to be fair, we didn't know it was getting a koga support and even more pull support with the slab. Butthole explorer lets you slap that card in any deck that needs a meat shield for stalling and genome hacking is a good backup plan.
>>57131650>>57131659I just also realized... by the time trading releases, wont that be 90 days pretty much exactly? You might be on to something.
>>57131659They already started countering it by nerfing the god pack rate of being alive and how friends display on your WP feed in the current update, they can make it worse with each update as they see fit, especially if they want to funnel people into using trading
>>57131556Imagine being a basedcuck manchild raising your wife's son and spending money on pixels lmoa
>>57131679>They already started countering it by nerfing the god pack rate of being aliveDid this actually happen? As far as the godpack dude has been making videos, they have always had an incredibly low chance of appearing as a WP.>and how friends display on your WP feed in the current updateWhat do you mean by this? I've had no issue with WP shenanigans.
>>57131540I don't know why people keep saying that, trading for cards you already have is retarded, you would only be using it to complete playsets or flair your cards. There's going to be some kind of limitation on it to encourage pack pulling but there's no way they'll disallow trading for shit you don't have.
>>57131701>you would only be using it to complete playsetsOnly making it half as difficult to finish a deck sounds good to me. But the reason people keep saying that is because trading is guaranteed to have some heavy restrictions so people don't just get everything extremely easily.
I had no business winning thisI ruined some kid's christmas
>>57130017>Next Energy generatedTurn that shit off.
>>57131728There's no reason to turn that off. I don't even understand why it's an option to turn that off.
>>57131728But I like generating energy.
>>57131659I’m not that worried, personally. I plan on coming back here with my friend code after I get a second copy of rainbow border Mew. That’s my last chase card, and I’d like to have plenty of friends for the trading system with set 2.
Yeah I don't like that mew can genome hack with only 3 energies attacks that originally cost 4. Another absurd counter to mons like venusaur that are already completely outclassed by basic EXs.In fact I hate the the game (and its faggot players who take tier 1 decks to random games), it's not balanced for shit. All they had to do was just not release ridiculously broken EX cards that are basic, 150hp, attack for 120hp and have great synergy with other cards that let you attach 3 energies to them per turn. Most of the cards are fine, they ruined them on purpose to make sure only one strategy is viable.
>>57131728retard
>>57131741I have everything from MI, but I still need FA Trainers from GA because I thought WP rigging would be too much work.
>>57131749>Another absurd counter to mons like venusaur that are already completely outclassed by basic EXs.Venusaur EX beats Mew EX though. >(and its faggot players who take tier 1 decks to random games)They're paradoxically some of the easiest decks to roll the cards for, and in the year 2024, everyone plays only meta in every single game, including single player games.
>>57131741Yeah. It's hard to worry about trading when you can essentially get a 2 star every couple days.
>>57131749I think basic ex should only have one attack, being able to deal damage with 1 or 2 energy while the opponent raises his 50hp shitmon is bs.
>>57131749>Another absurd counter to mons like venusaur that are already completely outclassed by basic EXs.???? Venu beats mew ex

>>57131790You're welcome.
>>57131624i think it's going to be randomrarity for random rarity and nothing other than diamonds at least at the start.there will probably be trading energy that recharges like wonder trades. (and you can buy more trades). Otherwise it will be a shitton of stardust. or both.

>>57131763I'm obviously talking about mew as a free no commitment addition to a mewtwo deck that was already way strong, not some stupid 1v1
>>57129445>Support ID: grqYJmW5WJCan't people use this to steal your account?>>57131791When I get a friend request I always check their showcase to see their cards' language.
This power creep has been brutal. I cant win with my mid tier decks anymore, venusuar has actually become totally worthless.
>>57131811>cards' language.
>>57131821only mid level deck i can win with is Blaine and Exeggutor EX/Butterfree.
>>57131821Exeggutor ex + Pidgeot ex has been working very nicely for mePoke flute with Pidgeot ex is great fun
>>57131821I really don't understand, it's a conscious choice on their part but I have no clue why they don't want most of the cards to be played.The broken cards are mostly EX and EX cards are rarer so I guess they want people paying for them to win. But they could have made stage 2 as rare as EX instead of making basics that are stronger than stage 2. They would have made just as much money in the end, people would have needed the stage 2 to complete their decks.
>>57131821I'm hesitant to call it powercreep. Mewtwo is almost the same deck and it's still on top.It's a paradigm shift. Druddigon changed what a deck needs to be able to do to be good.
>>57131698The god pack rate nerf could've been a coincidence, but when the update dropped there was a massive wave of dead packs>What do you mean by this? I've had no issue with WP shenanigans.This one is 100% true though, verified by multiple people including myself. The behavior is definitely not the same as before the update. Before, 4 friends would always be in your WP as their own slots. After the update, you don't have that guarantee. It would only show less than 4 or even no friends at all. A recently added friend doesn't always appear either (even if they're within 4), and can remain absent from your list for a long time.
>>57131832I dont see how to play into decks like druddigon gyarados. Its a total pubstomp deck, you completely lose when having to attack into drud. You need to run stuff like hitmonlee or zebrstrika to have a chance
>>57131866>and can remain absent from your list for a long time.I'm not sure of the exact mechanics here but I think the way it works now is you always have 4 friend offers including friend offers in your expired section.
Challenge: explain to me why a stage 1 like gyarados, is more or less exactly as strong as stage 2 pokemon like Blastoise and Venusaur. Compare their abilities, HP, attack, energy requirements and available support. There is no notable clear advantage to playing venu or Blastoise, there is no pay off. Why is a stage 1 clearly stronger than many stage 2 pokemon?
>>57131866Yeah, also confirming this.Used to be the new friends would auto-prioritize and show up immediately on next check, so long as one of the four friend slots weren't taken.Now you have to time the add to the next timer refresh - AKA you know the next one cycles out in 5 minutes, you wait those five, THEN add a friend without reopening the WP menu, THEN let the picks refresh by opening the menu once the request is accepted.
>>57131885Gyarados is stronger than Blastoise in the main games despite fully evolving sooner and only once
>>57131896Thats a different game but yeah Blastoise has always been the unwanted child. They wont even give him a fancy broken hidden ability
>>57131885Venusaur is pretty sad, the whole HP tank stuff doesnt work if a greninja is chipping him from the bench. Your reward for a stage 2 isnt working especially with more damage
>>57131881>>57131887Even aside from that, I have an alt with half a dozen static friends on it (hadn't added or removed any for weeks) and when I went on, no friends showed in the queue nor expired section at all. When I went on later, 2 friends showed total. So even when you're not playing musical chairs with your friends list it's still acting up.
Another thing I've notice, but maybe it was like this before, is that WPs refresh when you open the game.While the game is open you have to manually refresh by checking the listbut if you want to add someone and you haven't left the game open you'll refresh the WPs before you can add them and then you have to wait until the next refresh opportunity.
aiieeee Nassy Sama I yield
>>57131928This one's definitely not true, or at least not consistently so; just tested it>I added this guy ~3 hours ago, got the wrong of two possible packs, unfriended and closed the app, had it closed ever since>Just reopened app, didn't open wonder pick.

>>57131885Magikarp is actually so horrendously bad at 30hp that gyrados can be made stronger, and his attack ability has a chance at cucking himself, and blastoise having cheaper attacks means he's better on curveVenusaur fucking sucks tho, Erika was the only thing keeping it alive, and she's already moved on once she found a better pet
