>>57137656You can still steal wins with a good Misty roll but that's about it. Most got bored and are trying out new cards
This pack is magnificently satisfying.

>>57137638I love rapidash so much it's unreal
>>57137693Cute Erika-chan
I really don’t like this new meta.
heya guys look at this new unique deck>2 druddigon>energy hungry attacker
>>57137746why?
>>57137746to be fair the hitmonlee/marshadow troll decks make me laugh
>>57137763>shitmonlee up front kicking shins>marsh on the bench with a single energyIt just werks
>>57137754wait.. what..? how would that work..?
>>57137774>celebi faggots HATE him
>>57137755>>57137763Idk, im just kinda salty atm. Improving but druddigon makes the meta so tedious to play in. Lots of stalling is involved, im sorta learning to play around it. Since shit often goes to turn 20+ i just shove 3 energy onto mew ASAP
>>57137754ENTER
>>57137754Centiskorch bros this is our big break...!
>>57137693I thought Misty was going to flip too, wasted opportunity
>>57137785mate I have an off-meta deck and my winrate would be around 70+%obviously you brick on occasion and if you're going first without oak/pokeball you're pretty much fucked but the game is pretty much entirely luck based anywaypidgeot ex + rapidash, try it out
>>57137785I’m happy to see all the Drug, I get to Moltres and Chatot turn after turn for basically free.
mythical slab should not exist
>only waifu card I'm missing is Misry nowFug
>>57137785>druddigondunno how people suffer with this wall, either ignore it and buld your own board or kill it
Ok, ok.Golurk line x2Drud x2Hypno x2
>>57137839Usually the problem is that killing it puts your attacker in range of getting revenge killed
>>57137853>get revenge killed>revenge kill the revenge killer
>>57137839Ignoring it usually causes this game of chicken where both players stall. Im just not a big fan of turn 20+ games.
>event ends>literally have no reason to versus It was fun, I always love the chase to get my wins but without these this just really turns into a pull game and sometimes I'll try to complete the cpu challenges I haven't gotten yet
You might think it unlikely that someone could open two full art trainers before they open a single ex, but Mythical Island is full of mysteries.
>>57137812that's why I like Arcanine/Volcarona. I can spend a bunch of turns flipping coins with Moltres, get both Pokemon set up, and start sniping the bench with Volc, forcing them to go on the offensive. and I already have Arcanine ready to go in the back to switch in
>>57137754Nice benched sweeper you have there. Would be a shame if it's damaged
>>57137875It's not ending until next month
>>57137893Should have specified that I got my wins and not that it specifically ended. I wish these to be a bit more common or at a least a chase mission for it for a few resources wouldn't be bad.
>>57137909Next reset is Lightning Mass Outbreak, so it's perfect time to either get Zapdos EX for the Blastoise event next week
Really loving my Garados build. Hope people don't catch on to my list, but I think I'm pretty safe for the time being since no one plays this 3rd basic that I can tell.Played lots with M2 and Gyrados today. Both decks, a long with Pika, are definitely T1 imo.
>>57137693based on a true story lmao

I feel the win 5 consecutive battles will be harder this time around
>>57137946I got 5 consecutive wins at the start of this event thinking it was another one like that. It was intense but I was kind of disappointment that wasn't the goal.
>>57137920Is it Mew? I’ve been running it and it’s clean but I haven’t seen it in tours anywhere, even while people run shit way out of left field like Gary Butterfree.

>>57137935>Gyarados EX defeat screen The one tcg pocket image rarer than a godpack screenshot
Hi /vp/, I know you're bored and you are tired of good decks, I got just what you need. Why not try MI Exeggutor and non-EX Machamp? Are you a bad enough dude?
>>57137946>play gyarados and hope you don't run into pika or play anything else and hope you don't run into gyarados

So which Gyarados deck variation is the best?

>>57138002>scolimeme>meta
>>57137946Ill give it a few tries, but if its too hard then im good and dont want it. GA meta was rough but the power level was lower, you could get it by playing a solid deck. Now? Idk what the fuck you do
>>57137946I got 5 consecutive wins immediately with Scolipedo tho
>metanigger gets bricked with celebi>primal wingbeats it away>just winOH NO NO NO METABROS WE GOT TOO COCKY
>>57138038that’s fucking hilarious
>>57138038KWAB
>>57137957Nope
>>57138038Koga'ing your only pokemon away also instantly loses. I like doing it as a fancy concede
it really is just put a high hp mon behind drudd’s big fat ass and set it up to win brehs>gareth>golem>pidgeot >machamp>venusaur (??) easy money
I am definitely using this double mew moltres arcanine deck when the win streak bullshit arrives. It's solid enough into everything, but still i'm not looking forward to druddigon+gyarados deck.
>>57138091not necessarily, with Gyarados it's just kinda perfect. You have greninja and drud to do chip which basically gets everything into range to be one shot by Gyarados, it's obnoxious because Misty will make you auto lose many games straight up.
>>57138001Fossil variant auto-loses against Charizard. Literally just cannot win unless the opponent fails to draw Moltres or Charizard, unless you somehow get lucky enough to power up both Gyarados.
Well after playing a shit ton yesterday and today, I have some conclusions.Gyrados rapes M2Pika rapes GyradosMewtwo has a slightly favorable matchup against Pika, especially if people aren't playing Raichu to use zebra to prey on magicarp. I suppose that means I should be playing Pika.The more things change the more they stay the same, I guess.I don't see a way to make Mewtwo fair better against Gyrados, but maybe there is some sort of solution there.M2 has the most consistency with slab, of course, but it's near impossible to beat a druddigon + Giovanni + on time Gyrados (no misty needed).All things considered, I think I'd play Pika if I had to play a tournament tomorrow.I want to experiment with zebra + Raichu to round out the Pika deck against the other 2 top decks in the metagame, but it's not super obvious how to build that. Lt. Surge working with the new Electabuzz is kinda neat. I actually got btfoed today when playing Gyrados by that line.Gyrados certainly has some consistency issues that the others don't have, since you can't pokeball for Gyrados, but Misty can pick up the slack many times too. Kinda interested in trying other things in Gyrados like Starmie, Finnion, and Sharticuno EX. I've been liking my current Gyrados build a lot, but man, the Pika matchup is extremely rough.Merry Christmast. Your favorite ex-professional TCG faggot.
>got Lt. Surge checking WPsI'm going to level with you I forgot about the outbreak.
>>57137961There was an anon a few days ago who was posting Gyarados EX concede screens against his Galvantual deck that was running no EXs and a regular Zapdos.
>>57137754hard to blame them, there's not a lot of new decks to try when everything good was found out early.>try omastar/starmie deck with vaporeon support>remember I have no search for fossils and I'm just fucked if I don't pull the second starmie or omastarThey need to add a fossils support card that searches your deck immediately evo's your fossils to stage 1 because they're painfully inconsistent as is. >>57138002>muk deck but with less support and needing an additional evo>metawho's going to tell him?
>>57138099Im enjoying the new fire deck that runs double mew, arcanine and moltres. Does real good into psychic and electric
>>57137638A1a packs from the Christmas login missions take 29 days to expire in your gift box.AS A REMINDER you can sit on this until next week to help with the "Collect 100 cards" mission.
>event just began>already have 3 expired WPs from it sitting in my WP trayWeird
>electric outbreak>while 4chan is whining about Gyarados harder than they ever whined about Mewtwo or Pika >harder than they whined even about Celebi, back when it was a tier 0 unbeatable deck for 3 or 4 days hereThere's no way that they knew Gyarados was going to be the average @channer's worst nightmare, and yet here we are. Pretty funny too, because when I went through the wins for the event I only played the mirror match 2 or 3 times.
>>57138099I’ve been winning vs Pika teams with Gyara but obviously tournament players are a different beast than ladder timmys. I think we’ll see a lot of Pika as well, honestly Machamp/Mew/Drudd with Gio is pretty nice and covers a lot of bases, Machop having 2 rc is ass though>>57138104I stole an ArcaZard mew off twitter that looked pretty tight too, the archetype is far from dead
I opened 3 Crown Rare Mews before I ever opened a Salandit. My account is Crown Rare Mew seeded. I hope I will be able to trade these away for playsets of FA trainers. f2p btw
>>57138123It's the Lightning outbreak and the reason we're getting it is to give people garbage Lightning decks to use during the Blastoise drop event.
>>57138016>but if its too hard then im good and dont want it.Same. I've already got the first event symbol so I won't bother try harding for this one.
Psyduck can ‘trap’ a Druddigon and lock Oak draws…intredasting>>57138123The worst aged take about Gyarados is the discard being shit, Mew is the only thing that takes advantage of it on their side, but you can seriously fuck up whatever the Gyarados check was if they’re trying to dance around it
>>57138123Never had issue with with Gyaradost. Hitmonlee player
>>57138106>sit on this until next week to help with the "Collect 100 cards" mission.Where can I see the missions for the next week?
>>57137946It's just luck. With bad to average luck, you should get it around 35 wins, as long as you aren't playing an incohesive trash pile and aren't a retard constantly making childlike misplays.
Please post what your rare picks look like. I need Magneton and want to know if you can get multiple. Can't believe I got a Zapdos right before the event, just like the Arcanine event.
>>57138151 c >>57137638>>Datamines, etc.: https://ptcgp.raenonx.cc/enhttps://ptcgp.raenonx.cc/en/mission/group/MI_GR_2408010_NEWYEAR_01
>Oneshots your magikrapHeh. Nothing personnel kid
>>57138146>you can seriously fuck up whatever the Gyarados check was if they’re trying to dance around itFor what it's worth, Gyarados discards energy from my own Pokemon like 99% of the time. I've been playing Gyarados since before any YouTuber made a video about it, and there was only one single time where it discarded a water energy from a Dragonite when he was drawing straight electric for forever. But Dragonite is a bad deck and he would have lost anyway. Even when Celebi is sitting on what is functionally 10 energy, Gyarados will still discard energy from Gyarados.
>>57138156You can't get multiple Magnetons in the offer. Here are the two possible rare picks: https://ptcgp.raenonx.cc/en/wonder-pick/chansey/SC_GC_2408010_LC_01And here are the 10 possible bonus picks: https://ptcgp.raenonx.cc/en/wonder-pick/free/SC_GC_2408010_FR_01
>>57138157Thanks. Will conserve the bonus packs
>>57138156god this game is so stingy. Is it really so bad for them to just give us a zapdos EX for free? I haven't been able to ever get a 2nd copy.
>>57138106>>57138151>>57138157So basically, if you want to be smart, save at least 3 of the packs. You will need at least 2 of them, and unless your pack timer ticks exactly at reset and you are sitting there watching it exactly at reset - which even then, probably isn't possible, so it's most likely that you will need 3 of them. Unless I'm missing something.
>>57138166Forsake your friends and jack off a robot. It's that easy.
>>57138162>the rare pick offers the shit MI Raichu>but I never opened the good GA Raichu
>>57138162Damn! Thanks.
>>57138158Bro you took too long and it's now a Gyarados, let me show you how it's done on time
>>57138156I'd rather open Pika packs than waste stamina on this shit
>spend 36 WP hourglasses for a 20% chance to earn 1 WP hourglassThis game needs its reward incentives drastically reworked.
>>57138160You only ever suffer that if their ‘answer’ is Mew and it hits your energy with Genome though, otherwise you attach next turn and keep blasting. I just had a game where I thought I had an 100% win but Gyara ate an energy from my second Machamp while my first one couldn’t retreat anymore since Leaf was at the bottom of my deck, completely fucked me up
>>57138167>Unless I'm missing something.Several of the Christmas missions put Mythical Island packs in your gift box. You can to turn in the missions this week but the packs can stay in your gift box for a month. What I'm suggesting is: leave those packs in your gift box and open them later.
>>57138176Everytime I cry about this game not giving out enough wonder glasses i get called stupid. I don't get it, you never get enough. Pocket in general despite making a billion dollars off whales is not generous at all. We got ONE free ex card and it's dog shit, reading the rewards I knew it was too good to be true that we would get a free ex zapdos.
>>57138175That what I have been doing with no luck. People are opening Pika packs probably hunting the EX to counter Gyarados so maybe it will pop up in regular wonder pick for cheaper.
>>57138180Yes, those are the 3 packs I'm referring to. You will need to save at least 3 of the 4 unless I'm missing something.
>>57138158hitmonlee can hide in your hand and kick that shit into the trash on the same turn
>>57138193Oh OK I thought you were doing some weird math with the pack stamina bars I guess I only skimmed your post.You're missing that the New Year's missions run at the same time as the Blastoise drop event. Also the final day of the New Year's missions is the first day the the Chansey pick event which could give you free cards. And you'd be doing WPs next week. And you could carry stamina into next week.You can actually make the cut to get 100 cards without spending currency even if you don't carry any of the packs into next week, but opening the packs during the New Year's mission simplifies things.
Magikarp pedos it's over
>>57138185>Everytime I cry about this game not giving out enough wonder glasses i get called stupid. I don't get it, you never get enough.I have over 500 of them. I constantly cap out on wonder pick energy because there's nothing to pick. There is absolutely no way you could ever run out of them unless you were intentionally wasting them on shitpacks.
>>57138209You can bleed 100+ a day if you're scumming godpack picks.
>another marshadow>still no leaf
Actually... I can trade 1 for 64 of those purse tickets. That very exactly buys you everything out of the premium purse ticket shop. I could have it all as a f2p, and I do genuinely like the card sleeves and playmat. Possibly even the backdrop. Hmm...What are the odds that trading is good? And how much fucking dust is it going to cost me? If the dust cost is anywhere close to the amount it costs to flair a Crown Rare, then f2ps are fucked for trading. The most expensive Crown Rare flair costs fucking 90k Dust and I only have 50k.
>>57138209if you aren't a whale and rely on it to get leftover missing EX cards (me) then you can burn through them really fast. I've been really desperate for a 2nd EX blastoise and EX Zapdos and the game just doesn't think I should have it.
>>57138216wait for trading, I like pocket but how it works is gonna ultimately gonna decide if i keep playing. I really hate missing out on random leftover cards in GA, still no kabutops and i have 2000 cards.
>>57138209>There is absolutely no way you could ever run out of them unless you were intentionally wasting them on shitpacks.Not that guy, but I'm intentionally wasting them on godpacks. You're doing it wrong if you have WP hourglasses.
this thing refuses to leave me alone
>>57138220The pace the game gives you WP glass and the pace chat rooms offer godpack FCs is so wildly disproportionate that you can honestly sit on your WP glass until a godpack that has 5 cards you want turns up.
>>57138225>you can honestly sit on your WP glass until a godpack that has 5 cards you want turns up.That's what I've been doing already though. I completely ran out of WP hourglasses today, and I also only just got to a point where the only WPs I even want/need are FA waifu trainers from GA.
I don't get why people are starting to hunt rare packs for cosmetics when no one but dolphins and higher have a playset of each card in GA
>>57138237I don't need a playset of pack filler. 1 copy for the dex registration is enough.
>>57138219>wait for tradingI'm going to need to receive multiple cards in exchange for this in order for it to be worth it though. Like, I can get literally everything out of the premium purse ticket shop with this Crown Rare Mew. That's huge. I don't even know what I would consider to be a worthwhile trade in exchange for it, since everything that I actually want can be attained through WP, while this cannot be attained through WP and for me it converts to being able to buy everything out of the premium purse ticket shop. What are the odds I can trade for multiple playsets of FA cards for a single card? I'd seriously need like a playset of FA Sabrina + Erika in order to even consider the trade. And in a month from now, I might have even WP'd a playset already. And like, I still have 2 more Crown Rare Mews that I don't want anyway that I can use for trade fodder. I'm finding it difficult to see a downside to redeeming the Mew in exchange for buying the entire premium shop. The only thing I'm really considering is the loss of 20k Dust, which I will probably need in order to be able to trade, but when you look at flairing Rainbow cards, the most expensive flair is only 8k, and the Rainbows and FA trainers are my favorite.
>>57138237They're doing it to get cards they want.
>>57138237The vast majority of GA cards do not see play. You put Trainers in every deck.
>>57138237I'd rather have an FA leaf for my collection than anything I'm currently missing. But I am considering going back to opening Charizard packs for starmie ex and kadabra.
I haven't got an ex card for like 100 packs nowGay game
I have become a whale.
>>57138250they force you to just to play pvp
>>57138250literally no fucking point in this game and it's not poor cope
>>57138254Why would you make such a ridiculously false claim as this? Even my shitty alt account with the worst luck in the world can make all of the meta decks.
>>57138254I'm F2P and have these decklists that have all won tournaments:>Mewtwo>Pikachu>Gyarados>Arcanine>Scolipede>Celebiand more.Name any tournament winning deck and as long as it doesn't have Charizard I can probably make it.

my first rainbow card
>>57138288Well, that is my deckThanks for posting it for that other anon, I guess.
I honestly feel like tpc isn’t giving us as much as they could right nowWe could be getting more with this mass outbreak event. Like maybe a zapdos coin if you get the zapdos card from WP. Or some solo content where I can have a break from celebi/mewtwo.Maybe even more profile costumization options, like how is erika the only female trainer profile option? Why do we only have space for 15 decks? Why don’t they give us more?What is going on?
nice
>>57138288only one mythical slab?x speed instead of leaf?I’m sure that option is better if you tried them out but what is the reason behind it
>>57138291Nice! This card was a big help to me when starting out in PvP
>>57138288i wish the entire meta wasnt just one shotting everything as quickly as possible because this looks fun but it just centers around stalling and healing off chip damage with just 120 hp
>>57137946I'll just flip heads on my celebi for 5 matches
>>57138296In typical "too big to fail" corpo fashion, we are currently looking at the status quo. It will never get better unless people start uninstalling and stop spending en masse. That inevitability does not look as if it is anywhere on the horizon though.
I was able to test Golem against someone with an early Gardevoir, so that was cool
>>57138290TIL I am Odysseus.
>>57138299>x speed instead of leaf?I'm not that guy, but everything in that deck is 1 retreat cost except for the ugly slurper. You sound like you don't understand what goes into making a deck.
How the fugg do I get 11 metal types? Ive only got 4.
>want Magneton and Raichu>but already have two copies of Zapdos EXNow that's troublesome
>>57138310kek
>>57138106What's the reward for this Collect 100 cards mission
>>57138291Man Rainbow Zapdos looks so much better than Moltres and Articuno
>>57138314Pawniard and Bisharp are in any Genetic Apex pack.Mawile, Meltan, and Melmetal are in the Genetic Apex Charizard pack.Those are the only 5 Metal type Pokemon in PTCGP.There are no Metal Pokemon in the Mythical Island pack.
>>57138314Either open Zard packs for the remaining of the month or craft some 1-diamond. At least we're spared from doing that mission next month since it will have none metal mission
>>5713832012 pack glass. But you're going to collect the cards either way so you might as well complete the mission while you're at it.
>>57138321Really? Not him, but I think they all look great. Rainbow cards are the real prize cards in this game. If I had to pick one that looks the best, I'd probably choose Moltres.
>>57138296>zapdos coin if you get the zapdos card from WPdon't give them ideas
>>57138299Yeah so the reason I run 1 slab is because it's useful but not necessary, I see basically all of my pokemon in nearly every game. 2 is too many.Leaf would not work in this deck at all, you need to have access to Sabrina and Giovanni when they come up, they will win games. 1 x speed is enough because retreats costs are low in the deck.>>57138302To be fair, I try not to use the sleep stall as much as possible because I think it's cringe.
>>57138326I'd have said Aerodactyl or Gengar. But I do think Moltres is the nicest looking rainbow bird.
>>57138321they look equally awesome imoits the cgi cards that suck
>>57138322>>57138323What I dont understand is that it says I have 10 Pawniards... but the mission says I only have 4 metal types. Also thanks anons
>>57138336It only counts Metal Pokemon cards you collected during December.
>>57138337Holy fuck. Well my premium runs out today so i'm rip unless I want to kill my glass and pack points. Oh well
>>57138333>But I do think Moltres is the nicest looking rainbow bird.Ah yeah, I was meaning the rainbow birds. I'm not sure what I think the best rainbow overall is. Moltres is up there, but I don't know if it's my favorite of all. I like the style of Machamp and Alakazam (honorary rainbow). The Gengar is really cool. I really like Mew also, but I don't think it's in contention for coolest. The only ones I'm not wild about are Aero and Wiggly.
>>57138346This might be weird preferences bleeding through, but I like when full arts are predominantly the color of their type.
>>57138350Nah, I don't think it's a weird preference. I think that's pretty reasonable.

New player here. Do you reroll in this game?
>>57138600You can if you want one of them gold crown cards
Has anyone done a coin flip study yet? Very obvious it’s not 50% but what is it?
>Aerodactyl flips tails 5 times in a row>Opponent Marowak flips 11 tails 1 head in totalthat was painful
>>57138623This game is more coin flip than card game
>>57138613You and your opponent each flip 10 coins. Your opponent gets heads 10x, you get tails 10x. 50/50 split

>>57138173You need to run a Fighting energy deck to run Hitmonlee, so fair trade I guess.
>>57138623my worst one was a venusaur ex deck vs dugtrio and he got 7 heads in a row while setting up machamp ex on the benchnearly threw my phone there
>>57138471The amount of thanks I get tanked when the 45 wins event started. I assume is because people are getting their Thanks by playing matches instead of liking showcases
>>57138646This never fucking happens to me. Building Mew instead of another Arcanine feels pointless, I'm gonna lose anyway
>>57138653Don't you outlast him with Erika+Bloom?
>>57138671think I may have wasted it on lilligant hehe
the gyarapleb kneels to the mighty CHADgeot + GODpidash
>>57138471They're probably abusing discordtranny bots so they don't have anyone liking their showcases.
why does it feel so surprising to actually get a Zapdos EX from the Zapdos EX event
>>57138684because it's still a 20% chance.
I already have 3 zapdos ex, shan't be wasting hourglasses on this deck
Mods when?
>>57138693>Didn't get the flairsBricked account
Imagine burning 3 ex cards for fucking flairs
>>57138707Bricked
>>57138707What else are whales gonna do with them
>>57138708Lmfaopost webm of your five standard Zapdos and I'll stop talking
>>57138712>>57138708>ZapdosZapdos ex*of course
>>57138646I had the opposite happen once. Pretty funny.
I've played enough golem to give my opinion on it.Its functionally the best deck, its gameplan is the same as gyarados but it has more options with hitmonlee and marshadow and cant get sniped/shut down by a bench attacker it also counters gyarados itself as hitmonlee cake take out magikarp and Golem can go toe to toe with Gyarados ex even if it attacked drudd last turn.MI Golem the best stage 2 attacker in the game and is arguably the best attacker in the game out right, it wins the 2 attack brawl against anything that isn't charizard and a lucky stacked celebi all while only giving 1 point upon KO.The deck is so strong that the only thing that can beat it is itself and I mean that in the way that it's kinda bricky getting you run 5-6 basics and sometimes you just can't get graveler or golem in your hand and it costs you the game.Due to the way they designed gardevoir and Serperior I'm not so sure we will be getting evolution support and if we do it might benefit mewtwo and celebi decks more so then stuff like venusaur or golem but we'll see...Anyway the deck is definitely a top contender, it takes while to win games with it but it wins pretty consistently and dont sleep on the GA golem run both and you'll get the win against those mewtwo's that you just couldn't get enough chip damage on
>>57138709We don't know how trading is gonna work yet but I imagine you'll need extra copies to trade stuff and obviously theres gonna be someone out there that wants something you have for something they have.
>Gyarados EX reliably beats MewTwo decksStarting to love this retard
>get Christmas free pack>Game crashes on the "swap to open" screen>Reload, "game crashed but you got the cards" message.>Go to check the cards, they are all shit.FA Blue(female) never...
>>57138740Imagine they release trading and you can just freely trade between cards of the same rarity
>last 3 packs in a row gave me 2nd Aero ex, 1st Arcanine ex and 3rd Pidgeot exThe tall skinny figure has thrown the ex's at me. ME, BROTHER
Can someone tell me what the point of this new lightning outbreak event isIs there even a single special promo card in those wonder picks? The rewards are just a tiny bit of generic stuff too not even a special background or coin or anything
>>57138736It's a coin flip game for children and whales.
>>57138764there's no new cards in it, no
where are the fairies?
>>57138764Catchup stuff if you never got the ex.
>>57138764I suppose the next VS CPU event is a water deck.
>>57138753It seems other have figured him out lol, I thought I spotted him.
Marowak's more satisfying to use than CelebiThat fighting-type crater smash effect just feels more powerful
MAAMMAAM DO NOT KICK THE KARP
>>57138769Fairy type got cutFairies became Psychic types and Poison types were moved from Psychic to Darkness
>>57138769The TCG follows it's own rules
where are the steel typesmagneton should be steel and they should add scizor, steelix, aggron etc.
>>57138815there's melmetal and bisharp and mawile, that's it as far as metal types go at the momentthe rest will probably be released as part of the next set(s) per region
>>57138813Which overall technically makes fighting the most OP type as you'll have pokemon in normal and in electric and in dark be weak to it
>>57138815>more steel types>they are all shitokay anon have fun
>>57138822I'd be more than happy with this card, the fuck are you on?
>>57138822Wtf 130 damage for 1 energy?
>>57138822>resistanceif only we could have thatand some other thingswhy did pocket have to be so simplistic and dumbed down..
>>57138736Still not sold on GA Golem. I suppose you can oneshot M2 with it but MI Golem is just the better investment overall with how absurdly bulky it is. Definitely has most fun making pancakes out of meta decks
>>57138764For the water event next week, anon
>>57138822If that earthquake move dropped in as-is to pocket it'd be OP as shit
>>57138831Is that actually why, just to simplify?
>>57138855most anything from the physical game would be OP in Pocket. the stats are just way higher across the board.
>>57138860For now.
>>57138827>>57138829>have to stack 5 energy to not do 30 damage to your benchokay…
got my 2nd zap ex finally from that wondpick event, just need a 2nd magneton
>>57138866just don't put anything on the bench then dummy
I'm missing the A1 Raichu. Does this event have that?
I'd like to guarantee getting a mew EX, ideally two, from the psychic outbreak next month.What chances do I have exactly?I'll get one rare wonder pick per day for 7 days, with 1/5 chances per rare WP to get a mew EX? Or it's not that simple? Good time to start saving up on hourglasses already or that's too early?Mew EX is one of the two cards I'm missing purely for deck building purpose so it's top priority. The other one I can already craft one of the two I need.
>>57138903If you are actively refreshing your wonder picks throughout the day you should be spotting some mew EXs even before the event.
>>57137887There is no greater joy than sniping both of some faggot's Magikarps
>>57138766
>>57137962Any reason for regular Machamp over EX?
>>57138926I can see the logic, 120 damage doesn't really one shot much (giovanni helps), two prize cards vs one
It's funny how important the difference between being able to do 120 dmg or 130 dmg in one hit is in this meta
I swear the game thinks Aero is worse than it is because my deck only encounters jank decks. Even mildly competitive opponents have something odd going on with their decks.
>it's another professor oak is in the bottom ten cards episodeyawn. bit sick of this one
>>57138945That's a regular thing in the TCG. Like back in the first couple sets, 70 was the big target damage point to hit (although few things could). In the GS era, most of the big threats had 80 or 110/120 HP, so either being able to do 40 or 80 damage were huge.I used to run pic related as an anti-meta card. 90 HP put it outside the target damage everyone was doing and it hit in multiples of 40. Plus it hit Entei/Marcargo for weakness, which was one of the most obnoxious decks at the time.
I wish to own all FA Trainers, you all can have my FA pokemon exes
>>57138960Okay but FA Lyra will be mine and mine alone.
>>57137793Lmao
>>57138957God, the nostalgia
>Sabrina in the opponents Magikarp and attempt to OHKO it with a 20 damage grass move because I think it's super effective
>>57138769Um sweatie the politically correct term is fags now
I'm so tempted just to waste my 600 pack hourglasses. I'm still missing many meta relevant cards to build literally anything else than Blaine.
>>57138167Keep in mind this is all irrelevant if you have the battle pass. The extra pack gives you enough cards that 3/day gets you over the 100 card mission by itself
FUCK YOU
>>57138994Holy based
>>57138764Not everyone has 2 copies of all ex cards. And there are always new players who just started and never opened ga booster
When you run out of hourglasses and you start spending golds to open packs, what's the exchange rate? 1 gold = 1 hourglass?
>>57137754Not my problem.
>>57138406only if you're playing a coinflip deck and not some gay tryhard tier 1 deck
>>57138223My story with Serperior, I have like 4 or 5 alreadym, stopped counting.
>>57139009>When you run out of hourglasses and you start spending golds to open packsYou're in too deep
>>57138815Bronzor would have fit perfectly in this "mythical island" theme shit.Knowing this kusoge though it'd have been psychic. >>57138822Is every Steelix/Scizor doomed to be trapped in a dual energy deck if you don't want 4 basic bricks in your deck?
>>571390091 gold = 2 hours
>>57138994how the fuck is that eevee even remotely fair.I don’t even bother playing agaisnt it. The moment I see it first thing I just surrender.
>>57138406If you win by rolling three Misty heads turn 1, I'm not thanking. Simple as.
>>57138991Literally why do people save these up?There will never be a good time to spend them, this game will be powercrept continuously for years. Something super broken will be released, you'll spend all your hourglasses and then what? Whatever you got will still be outclassed in the next expansion, and unless you plan on competing why even care about getting the broken stuff on day 1?
>>57138600Rerolling is as easy as deleting the save file in the configs before you enter the game, it won't redownload much data. You can open like 30 packs super fast in like 1 hour or 20 in just a few minutes.
You should be able to pick your ratio of energy types if you run multiple energy. I feel like decks like >>57137962 would benefit greatly from being able to pick a 20/80 ratio of grass to fighting energy.
>>57137962is this what a good deck looks like? im just running a random grass types + my serperior EX
>>57138985>tfw machoke can hit golbat with a supereffective move
>>57138891nope
>>57139065If you're being serious, no it's not, too energy hungry and completely defenseless in the first few turns, plus running dual energy with machamp makes no senseA good deck is more like pic rel
>>57139086That's way too many monsters.
>they made the new years promo the A1 pikachu instead of the better A1a pikachuThe last one was forgivable since island hadn’t come out yet. What’s the excuse this time?
YOU FUCKING ASS GAME STOP CHANGING MY ENERGY WHEN I EDIT THE DECK!
>>57139125>hey bro how are you going to run druddigon without water and fire energies? here you go pay more attention next time
>>57139047Hoarders gonna hoard.
>turn 1>Marsh active, old amber on bench>turn 2>opponent has a line Eevee>swings for 20>turn 3>evolve into Aero, stack one energy on it>turn 4 >opponent sets Magikarp on bench>swings for 0 with Eevee>turn 5 >draw pokeball into Hitmonlee>x speed into Hitmonlee and KO Magikarp>opponent concedesAero isn’t very great, but that floodgate is toxic when it works. My opponent *might* have had a shot if he had sacrificed the Karp to evolve Eevee on the bench, but that was probably only delaying the inevitable.
>>57139133I just brought Aero ex to PVP for the first time and the Blainefag conceded since he couldn't evolve his lead Ponyta without losing momentum
>>57139132It’s standard gacha operating procedure for anyone who isn’t dropping a lot of cash. Pace yourself to keep up with the meta / difficult events, and wait to blow your load on something you really like.
>>57139138Yep. The deck can be brutal vs decks like Blaine / Koga. I cringe a bit when a Vulpix gets stuck on the active spot only to get knocked out by Gio + Farfetch’d.Aero could genuinely be a meta threat if it became more consistent and had a strong impact on another top meta deck.
Bro... the expert charizard moltress dex just blatently cheats its not even trying to hide it lmfao
>>57139159it's fairly consistent but it still bricks sometimes
>>57139150If fossils could be placed in the active spot in the beginning of the game then Aero could be used the same way Starmie is as an early game leadYou have to waste an X Speed or Leaf unfortunately since the Amber Fossil will always start in the bench
done with all the mythical island tranny ticket missions
>>57139171okay thanks for the blog kid, keep us posted
>>57139174ok
>>57139166Ive tried 10 times now to do this dumb challenge and every single one its started with moltress and has had a fully ready arcanine and charizard by turn 6. Very frustrating
>>57139150Fighting is one good early game attacker away from being meta in general. It's got loads of Pokemon like Marshadow, Primeape, Hitmonlee, and Aerodactyl who would be great in a rushdown deck, but they just don't have anything to put immediate pressure on the opponent.
>>57139047I'm saving for Johto packs. Most of my favourite mons are Johto mons, so I want all the good shit for them. Pretty simple.
>>57139193Actually, there's only 100 new species in Johto. Won't the new set also have to contain more than Johto mons if they want to equal the size of GA?
>>57139199There will obviously be kanto mons in it and packfillers from later gens too. Any kanto mons that got a new evo/baby will be in it for sure.
>>57139199If they're actually doing a Johto set next, I assume it'll follow the same format as GA. A big mix of Pokemon that includes every gen 2 Pokemon and (almost?) all of the ex are from Johto.
>>57139208So another magmar variant? Goddamn.
>>57139199Even GA had pokemon from other regions. You will get Kantomons v3: Onix v2 that allows Steelix, you will also get Pidgeot support with Falkner. Dragons will get a boost so you might get either a whole new Dra- line that isn't working on Dracometeor. A brand new Seadra that makes Kingdra better and even if you do no, reprints might happen but I doubt so for a main set. So you're not really starved for content, as the pack might also include new items, stadiums and tools.
>>57139193Makes sense, personally I think Johto is kind of poo-poo though I'm eagerly waiting to see how broken Ttar will be, it's one of the few pseuds who isn't dragon type so they're not forced to make him shitty eitherI wonder if he'll end up dark or fighting
>playing in THANKS queue >concede immediately>opponent doesn’t thankI swear the average person playing this game is full on retarded.>>57139199Wouldn’t be surprised to see more Kanto revisits, and as much as I don’t like them, I could easily see Sinnoh cross-gens in set 2 of miniset 2.
>>57139228Sometimes they do thank but it only shows up like 5 minutes afterwards since they were AFK or something
Just got 8 electric energy in a row trying to play Dragonite. I'm fine with coinflip mechanics but I feel like there should be a limit on how many of the same you get in a row...
there's a real mixed feeling when you only get exactly as much heads as you need to win
>>57139235It only takes one game with terrible energy distribution to make me drop a multi type deck
>>57139235It should just alternate per turn
>>57138679You'd think they'd use bots to like their showcases.
You will never be a dragon type
Scrolling Wonder Pick and seeing that card you were going after for so long and finally managed to pull from packs instead feels liberating, like you can finally let go and ignore it
>>57139235It should let you set the percentages on the energy. Thats how it works in the real TCG
>opponent concedes without checking to see if I have Koga in handI had it ... but you would have won if I didn't. Surely you could have waited another 15 seconds to find out.
>>57139328In the real TCG energy is drawn without replacement.
>>57139331why are you complaining about a free win?
>>57139341I'm complaining about my spineless opponent.
>>57139125you WILL run the fire energyyou WILL attack with druddigon
>>57139353>why didnt my opponent waste their time so i could win the way i wanted to?oh gotcha. understood.
>>57139363I'm not complaint that he conceded, I'm complaining about the timing of his concession.
>opponent doesn't concede>Complete all my actions and run down the clock until the last second before finishing them off
>when you don't read the card
>>57139331This could never be me, I always forget Koga exists at all
If you don't sit through >>57139377 waiting for the attack you miss on on the possibility that anon fails to attack because of bad connection.It's your civic duty to clutch victory from the jaws of defeat. You're not some sort of annelid worm or other non-spine-haver, are you /tcgp/?
>>57139377I always rush to try and finish my last attack before the opponent can concede
>>57139406Same. Got to polish that battle record.
Can recommend the noex lobby, I feel much less rage at the game and get a decent variety of opposing decks.
Thoughts on a Gyarados deck without Greninja, just druddigon and Gyarados?
>>57139418You need bench clutter to minimise sabrina threat
>>57139418That it? Greninja is good back up for doing extra damage and can attack with low energy requirements. Ideally you want something else in the gyarados deck.
>>57139461Yeah, I find Greninja makes the deck too unreliable.
What makes Gyarados good? Nothing jumps out at me.
>>57138993Yes, obviously paypigs get to complete the mission without issues.
>>57139461>>57139474>Ideally you want something else in the gyarados deck.Like what? I really like Greninja in the deck.
>>57138736The issue is that a stage 2 is much harder to get in play than a basic/stage 1. If you take for granted you will do it on time as often as Gyrados (and ignore Misty) then what you say is true. Unfortunately, since it's obviously not true, what you're saying is incorrect. Golem is tier 2, while Gyrados, Mewtwo, and Pika are tier 1. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
>>57139385Many such cases. I’m convinced that the majority of remaining Pika players are illiterate.
>>57139479180 HP survives most things. 140 damage kills most things.
>>57139479Pure unga bunga that stalls behind Druddigon and lucksacks Misty with no reliance on a 3-stage evo like Mewtwo/Celebi
>>57139486>Like whatI kinda just liking Gyarados and Druddigon atm. Could add Articuno or Starmie
>>57138736Post list bro
I have 300+ tranny tickets. Do I use them to get as much hourglasses as I can or what?
Get a load of this fag.
>>57139503I've already got all them, maybe not that art forms, but I've got the cards.
>>57139503Beggars can't be choosers. This is what you get for begging the differ.
>>57139503>trannycord
>>57139503>soiboy avatar picShocker
>>57139509Just and FYI for any anon considering god pack manipulation. This is the type of attention whore you’ll run into, and the retards who can’t bother to follow basic instructions (unfriend if the wrong pack is received) make otherwise tolerable hosts nonfunctional without setting up an auto clicker.
>>57139503>3/5 godpackBad value desu.I get that they can't all be 5/5 or 0/5 but if I'm not chasing for a specific cards I'd want at least a 4/5.And this doesn't have 2 rainbow Zapdos if I was chasing the bird emblem. No leg to stand on there either.
Its a fucking video game, people who do that bot shit are retarded.
>>57139521I'd rather friend the bots that churn me out of their list.
>>57139522That one’s an 0/5 for me. Don’t care about the emblem and I already have 5 zapdos of various versions. Really is interesting how even godpacks can be worthless to pick from
>>57139503>making people jump through hoopscringe>for a shitty godpackdouble cringe
Is it a waste of money to spend pokegold on wonderpicks with an ex that you want? The odds are nice but whiffing on a wonder pick feels pretty bad when you spent money on it instead of natural stamina
>>57139536Its a terrible idea, save your pokegold for new releases and packs man. The amount of gold you need to spent to fill in for missing wonderglasses are terrible.
>>57139529I meant how many 2-star cards are in it. It's a 3/5 pack for me in terms of what cards I want.>even godpacks can be worthless to pick fromI'd pick from >>57139503 if my stamina were near full, but I wouldn't spend glass on it.
>>57138406if you want my thanks you can press concede at the start of the match
>>57139536Rather than spending 3 stamina for a 1-in-5 chance you should spend 4 stamina for a 3-in-5 or 4-in-5 chance of the FA.
>>57139526Those are the only ones I watch for, personally.
>>57138156i already had like 3 zapdos ex and 2 of the full art onesi can't get a single dragonair though, and not a single sabrina (my beloved)
>any set with steelix will have an Onix variant to pair with itI hope there's a better snek because fuck, this one is horrendous, even with one Brock >4-cost retreatFucking why?

>>57139574It'll be good when they add Heavy Ball trust
I gotta say, time limited flairs for regular ex cards might be the worst kind of event Pocket has put out so far. Complete whalebait
Anyone find themselves begging the differ for a God Pack
>>57139593what does the heavy ball do?

>>57139479It's like Mewtwo and Celebi, shitty card with godly support. The same way Mewtwo is trash without Gardevoir, Mew, and Slab or Celebi is trash without Serperior, and Erika then Gyarados is trash without Misty, Chatot, Greninja, Druddigon et. al.
>>57139615Celebi is not good, but if they draw into all the pieces ofr serperior is potentially gg. Its so gay
>>57139574he's slow as balls
>>57139628>not good>by itself it can blitz faster than Pikachu since it has no condition attached to dish out 100 damage if you get 25%
>pokefluting back the Mewtwo you just took out so you can one shot the Mew with PidgeotHere you go bro, a little gift from me.

>>57139659>going second becomes even better
whats with these fags crying about people making wrong assumptions of the meta? who fucking cares. for all we know gyarados could fall off next tourney
>>57139614Not just that. He threw away two energy on M2 just to one shot a Hitmonlee. I suspect he wouldn’t have seen the Gio + Marsh coming, but the guy played really badly before raking his cards off the table and walking away.
>>57139666Instead we should focus on trainers that allows energy attachment on turn 1
There's a Lightning Event happening right now, Gyarados is about to be crushed by the sheer number of Surge decks coming.
>>57139669Constant incorrect bitching becomes annoying very quickly, especially when it's exactly the same "people" constantly doing complete 180s about "their" opinions. They're just chronic whiners.

>>57139676Celebi is still cancer even when its not a strong pokemon though, and druddigon is unfun to play against.
>>57139679No shit, but the clues are there.>Celebi is the only Gen 2 mon with a card>Steel support sucks ass>Dark support is limited to one deck and has no ex cards>Set one focused on a generation (Gen 1)It’s the best guess we’ve got.
>>57139685>druddigon is unfun to play againstI'm having fun setting up for free and Sabrina is always my wincon.
>>57139685If you can continually find new things to bitch about for a week before spontaneously completely moving on to something else (while calling the previous thing a joke) then maybe you're just not mentally equipped to be playing this game.
>>57139685Take the Hitmonleepill, anon
>>57139652not yet
>>57139660welcome to every TCG ever
>>57139710I dunno man. The only thing I've ever complained aboout is CawBlade, but at least when I complained about CawBlade I followed through with it and quit playing Magic because of it.
>>57139710This.>>57139660Only thing funnier than the gun-jumping retards are posts from anons you think they are somehow smarter than said retards. Keep it up, (You). It’s another TCG staple.
>>57139722>are posts from anons you think they are somehow smarter than said retardsI am though. Clearly. But if this is your line of thinking, how are you any better? You're doing the same thing, just one step further.
>>57139660all me btw
>>57139729No, I’m merely pretending that I’m pretending.
>>57139503
>>57139377It is the opponent's job to press the button that scores the final point(s) they need. If they cannot do that much, victory shall be mine. Conceding is unnecessary.
>>57139748>force an animal to wear clothes for my amusement or you shan't be me friend
>>57137925>only 3 flipsTry 8. I got 8x tails twice so far and then I gave up on Celebi.
>>57139748the most minuscule irrelevant crumb of power is enough to drive these people insane, I swear to god
>>57139748>attempt to prevent botting by doing bot work yourselflmfao
>>57139748>dox yourself for me, monkeyI'm new to the WP dick sword, but this shit was not happening *at all* when I first joined. Then one asshole made people draw pictures or something, and now literally everyone is doing this shit. Kill all zoomers.
>>57139748LMAAOOO what is this. Why are cs majors such faggots, they make a bot then start demanding your socials
>>57139748Bulbasaurfags... not like this...
>>57139418At that point just run turbo and get your Gyarados out before your opponent can attack.
>>57139748If trading becomes easy to exploit with bot accounts expect these power tripping faggots to go beyond this since it's no longer a general one to many but a one to one transaction
>arbok but better colorWhy is galvantula unpopular
>>57139789>Joltik gets the leak slap
>>57139774The powertrippers are usually people who pulled a godpack on their main and decided to show off. The people pulling godpacks with bots use bots to automate the friends list curation.
>>57139789Arbok has higher HP and preys on Mewtwo decks since they're mono Psychic with dark weakness, and even he has fallen out of favor with ScolipedeGalv's too frail and doesn't overpower Water decks as easily
>>57139748special friendship clubs with autistic entry requirements have always been around in human history so I don't feel weirded out by it
>>57139810i hope they see this bro
>>57139789dark doesn’t have much and arbok counters the most popular meta deck in the gameThe mistake was making another trapper lightning. It isn’t a bad card but if you’re going electric just do something elseIf you want to go dark you don’t have many options and scolipede is still more popular than arbok
>>57139789I saw someone playing him in the pika deck and it doesn't seem bad thereSeems hard to play outside of that deck tho since it's really frail, unfortunately most lightning cards are going to be balanced differently since pika ex exists
>>57139786>If trading becomes easy to exploit with bot accountsThat's never going to happen. Pretty much everyone agrees that trading is going to be completely bullshit in one way or another. It's going to require a shit ton of Dust or it's going to require prolonged, extended friendship, or it's just going to be RNG like WP already is while still requiring Dust. Bot accounts aren't really making a lot of dust, but I suppose if trading is lenient enough you could reroll bot until you get a godpack, then trade the godpack to yourself. The only theory that I think is wrong is that you'll need >2 copies of the card in order to trade it. There was text added with the MI update when unlocking theme decks that accounts for "cards lost", but this is literally not possible currently, and in order to flair cards you need to be able to keep 2 copies of them.
>>57139789It's really good but it's a suicide lead and you need to follow it up with something else. Joltik is fragile but with all the birds and the water it can do a lot of damage. Pair with Sabrinas and it can solo a lot of games.
>>57139789>Why is galvantula unpopularRaichu+Electabuzz is better, and if Raichu wasn't better, Zebstrika+Dedenne would be better due to Gyarados.
>>57139840AIEEEEEE DRUDDIGON SAVE ME

>>57139833Whatever restriction they make I'm sure a bot account will still manage to do its job albeit it's going to be so tedious or time consuming each throwaway account would feasibly only be able make a single tradeThat much effort just means instead of doing it for free with a million conditions people are just going to outright sell their services instead to setup an account to make that trade
>>57139857the clay cards are so cuteI wish the whole gardevoir line followed it
>>57139878>cosmetic theoryfagsEh? Is that "if you can put hearts on it, it's a girl?"
>>57139882and more egregiously the>no cosmetic means malefags
>>57139882Yes. That reasoning is a load-bearing pillar of the Budding Expeditioner disputes.
>>57139893>That reasoning is a load-bearing pillar of the Budding Expeditioner disputes.>check it out>literally every female trainer has the hearts flair>literally none of the male trainers have the heart flair>Ralts has the heart flair (Gardevoir is known waifumon)>Budding Expeditioner does not have the heart flairI'm a believer now.
>>57139906>Budding Expeditioner does not have the heart flairThat's because they don't want you to lewd the loli.
Zapdos ex doesn't seem very good
>>57139922>you can lewd the basic (newborn) pokemon Ralts>you can lewd the stage 1 (loli/hebe) pokemon Kirlia>you cannot, however, lewd the loli Budding ExpeditionerIt's because Budding Expeditioner is a boy.
>>57139906Ralts and Garde alike are only 50% female, so this puts ambiguity on the whole thing
I foughted a madlad Gyara EX who used Chatot and a deck full of fossils which he instantly threwed away while Chatot hand rerolling to mill his deck for Mistys. I beated him, but that's a new strat to me.
>>57139906I’d like to add hearts to lt.surge
>>57139932Its alright, its a necessary tank for electric decks although if it was 140 hp it would be better. It gets one shot by attacks + giovanni pretty easily. Its why im kinda shocked that electric isnt jobbing to druddigon
>>57139932it's great in pikachu ex.
>>57139937There's no laws against the Pokemon, Batman. It is not illegal to lewd Pokemon, but it is illegal to lewd human children. TPCi is playing it safe.
>>57139932There are some 1st place Pika lists that run either 1 Zapdos EX or none at all. You're not wrong. It's now just a worse Mew EX. You used to put 3 energy on Zapdos in certain matchups, but since people figured out Raichu, that's not really a thing anymore.
>>57139932It's not, but Pikachu decks are locked into Lightning and it's one of the better options.
>>57139942>I foughted a madlad Gyara EX who used Chatot and a deck full of fossils which he instantly threwed away while Chatot hand rerolling to mill his deck for Mistys. I beated him, but that's a new strat to me.sounds like the anon that was in here trying the deck a couple days ago. was doing the math and the percentages to see if that deck was good or not.

Is the new Rapidash worth the 2 energy? Getting to oneshot the 130HP Pokemon sound nice, but potentially wasting a Blaine on a coin flip sound like huge pain.
>>57139942It's a very common variant.
>>57139959Well, I do really need that Rainbow Rare Mew...
>>57139963depends on if you want blitz or more damage. blitz? old set. more damage? new set.
>>57139945>im kinda shocked that electric isnt jobbing to druddigon
>>57139974Never really saw Electabuzz as a primate but it fits I guess
>>57139980You don't need to dedicate as much space in the deck to it and it has synergy with Lt. Surge if you're already running Raichu.
>>57139963No. You need to be able to throw your energy on Vulpix since Ninetails is the star of the show. And if Ninetails gets Knocked out you want to immediately be able to swing with Rapidash. Giving up on this for just chance to get more damage isn't worth it. Not to mention you lose out on the going first 1 energy stage 1 advantage of old Rapidash.
>>57139963I roll one new Rapidash and one old. Original Rapidash is still good for turn 3 evolutions and one energy chipping or revenge, but new Rapidash is good for when you can't get Ninetales out or want to delay Ninetales for revenge and are stuck on Rapidash for more than one turn. Two turns of 40 damage sucks but two turns of 40 damage with the 50/50 100 damage is much better.
>>57139973I'm also thinking about maybe adding 1 Moltres EX just to capitalize on the Drudd meta, but that might make the deck to slow.
All I’m missing is the Mewtwo crown now
>>57139980He's an oni I think.
>>57140005>I'm also thinking about maybe adding 1 Moltres EX just to capitalize on the Drudd meta, but that might make the deck to slow.blaine is blitz. moltres is stall.
>>57139047>There will never be a good time to spend themyeah, you should totally use them now, with the minipack, rather that wait until january where the big ones comes.
>>57140010I assumed anon mangled "candidate" and spellcheck did what it could with it.But you're correct; Electabuzz is an Oni. Magmar is a Garuda.
>>57140008Congrats on pulling the only crown rare that looks good.
>>57139047>retard powercreep drivelWhy the fuck are you even playing a gacha game? How do you "powercreep" retards plague every single fucking gacha thread? What dumb ass fucking mentality does it take to be playing a gacha game and to have the position of "why even pull for anything? it's all going to get powercrept eventually anyway"You're even too stupid to understand why people save hourglasses. You have negative IQ.
>>57139942Yeah, a couple of anons in these threads workshopped that deck out the day Mythical Island released. And this was back when most people weren't experimenting with Gyarados. >>57092455
>>57139959Unironically If I ever get a godpack and post here, I'm going to ask for the hottest lewds and add by whichever anons I think has the best taste in art, I will try to be unbiased for the fags and fujos
bottom left never fucking failsit is insane how much success I had recently with WPs
>>57140044>whichever anon has the best taste in anime titty porn will be added
>>57140008Charizard is the only I'm missing, I'll be very happy if I don't have to use pack points to get it
>>57140045that primeape is so fucking badWHAT were they thinking?
>>57140024>Magmar is a Garuda.Neat, it's such a weird motherfucker, I love it.
>>57140054If it had more HP people would play it.
>>57140054It’s not that bad. The only real knocks I have against it are the relatively low health and a retreat cost that isn’t free. It’s almost better to run something like Dodrio if you’re considering a card like this at all.
>>57140054It's actually pretty good as a lead. 50 damage for 1 energy is great for turn 3 while you set up your other win conditions like Marowak, Machamp or Marshadow
>>57140051Yeah what's wrong with thatI might have to consider them differently than I normally do tho, I don't think you can really do anything fancy with underage poke girls/shotas
>>57140054Would absolutely see play over the other one if we ever get a decent Annihilape. That's a VERY good turn 3 attack.
>>57140080>AnnihilapeI should probably play the latest gens already
New!:>>57140102
>>57140000Personally I think that the early game is too important for the deck to run both. Drawing the new one in turns 1-3 while you're trying to build towards Ninetails feels awful. If they had different names I'd probably run 2 old and 1 new.Maybe if Druddigon Gyarados becomes more common outside of tournaments I'll consider it.
YOU BROKEN PIECE OF SHIT I HATE YOU
>>571400541 energy stage 1 with 40 damage is the standard. There's one of these for every type in the game. It being 1 energy 50 damage is one of the most obvious cases of power creep in the game so far.It's just that old Primeape has an actual niche to build a deck around rather than being a simple early game beater.
>>57140129stage 11 energy for 40 damage1 retreatwith 100 HPprimeape's +10 damage is a tradeoff for -20 HP
>>57140129Untrue, stage 1 does 40 if colorless energy and 80 HP. Stage 1 same energy has either higher HP or stronger attacks
>>57140137It's a tradeoff that's easily worth it for the sort of deck that would actually want to be running that sort of card.
>>57140053Ironically I started pulling all my crown cards as soon as I said “fuck saving these pack points” and used them all the complete the kanto dex
>start seeing Gyarados EX around>get excited >literally only have lost to it when Misty flipped more than one heads Never thought that the day would come where I would hate Gyarados
>>57139748At what point does someone just start asking for egirl feet pics
I swear this game trolls people on purpose>if I have gyarados ex readyMisty never gives me anything>if I can't find my gyarados exMisty gives me 6 heads in a row but I cannot evolve Magikarp
>>57140036>why even pull for anything? it's all going to get powercrept eventually anywayI said the exact opposite dummy why question my IQ when you can't read?
>>57140333If your reasoning for NOT hoarding is due to powercreep, then you're saying "why even pull for anything? it's all going to get powercrept eventually anyway"The correct way to play this game as f2p is to hoard hourglasses. You blow everything at the start, then after you spent everything, you hoard until the miniset. Then you drop everything on the miniset. Then you clear out the missions for hourglasses and start saving those up for the expansion. Then you blow all hourglasses on the new expansion, then you collect the mission hourglasses. Rinse and repeat. There's no reason to continue to blow hourglasses mid-set, especially when you still have 1.5 months of daily packs to pull. You're a retard.
>>57140480nta but I only spent 40% of my glass savings (20 pulls) on the mini set. I feel like spending them all would have been a retard move. Save for gyarados (since I only have one) I can build anything I want to as a pass-only player. I have to imagine completely f2p isn’t that far behind
>>57140513>nta but I only spent 40% of my glass savings (20 pulls) on the mini set.20 pulls was my entire savings when the miniset came out. I'm back up to 300 now though.
Just couldn't let it slide even though I'm practically out of wonderglasses, surely 32 glasses was worth it.Also>Top-leftCHADS stay winning
