Nidos still suck
Is there any way to reroll without redownloading that gay 643MB each time?
playing so much gyarados EX that I got magikarpal syndrome
You just know
>>57151859delete account in options? unless they changed that
>>57151840that's a yugioh accessory
>>57151840Charibros... Our response..?
>>57151873Yeah
>>57151874Bros? They told me Celebi has no meta prominence in tournaments...
deckweightisarealthingandimtiredofpretendingitsnot
>>57151879It's as good as mewtwo/pika/gyarados as long as you get heads (half of the time)
>>57151879the koreans bot the coin flips but keep the rate at 75% so people can’t tell
>still don't have Gyarados ex>keep pulling Faggotdactyl instead
>>57151874All fodder in the presence of the toad
>>57151881you can detect your deck weight by placing your smartphone on a scale, true fact
Post decklists I can use
>>57151891>he doesn't know
>>57151895Gyarados is the only diamond rarity card I still need, so it's kind of annoying.
>>57151893Don't do this it makes mustard gas
>game doesn't give me the cards I want, namely Aerodactyl>game does give me three crown Celebis and four Soiperiors to make a deck I have zero interest in runningWhy does this game assume I'm a homosexual?
>>57151918If it assumed you were gay it would have given you fagadactyl
>>57151918The desire sensor is real
It seems you guys have been memeing me. Having anything with 80 or less hp in the deck (Primepae, Marshadow, fossils) is an autoloss vs Greninja.
>>57151918Just wp from those dick sword godpacks bro
>>57151928People are kind of sitting on greninja. It's OP for non ex. Not tons running it
>>57151928Greninja is just a retarded card in general once it gets up
>>57151931I didn't start doing this until after MI and I'm filled with despair no one ever posts GA packs.
>>57151931Its way less effort and more enjoyable to work a part time at wendy's and buy packs instead
Why does the new Pidgeot EX has so much hp? It's just a fucking bird.
>>57151943It's a big bird
>>57151948For you
>>57151943To make gyarados ex look more balanced
>>57151931How do you get those to show up on WP? I've been getting nothing but crap commons on my feed, so I just never WP.
>>57151959You need to become a Discord tranny, and do some stuff.
>>57151871I don't know
>>57151959>purge friends list>join dick sword server>look for macro godpacks because fuck jumping through hoops for discord trannies>use smart auto clicker to spam until your friends>if you get a dud wait till it expires and keep repeating steps above until you get the godpack in your list
>>57151978>use smart auto clicker to spam until your friendsThat's against TOS. Don't do this.
Why is the Ursitranny tournament defining the meta? Pokemon players are truly pathetic
>>57151986ursii is not a trannyshe is a beautiful biological woman with beautiful curves, and pure mind and heartshut up
Snorlax+Dragonite?
>>57151997What pokémon is this???
Celebi players are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet they give me free wins every single time
>>57152007Ursii
>>57152009fuck you bich
>>57152006Snorlax is really bad. Energy cost for its attack and retreat are just way too high. You'll get better results using Drudd instead of him
>>57152011Stop swapping to Celebi when I have a fully charged Arcanine waiting in the backline retard
>>57152015Double colorless energy next month Trust the plan
>>57152009I can confirm, I'm a celebi player and I'm retarded
>>57152015Drudd is dying too fast to get Dragonite up
>>57152017God i fuckin hate arcanine you should just go arc on a cock
Yeah, that fighting deck is fucking garbage. It doesn't have enough damage to take out anything that's not a Magikarp.
>>57152027Should've kept flipping coins on Pinsir lil bro, you threw your only chance
would you rather have a FA card of one of your favorite pokemon (non-ex) or playmat, card sleeve, coin, binder, folder of your waifu wearing clothing that shows a lot of skin and making a seductive pose for the next expansion
>>57152062>or playmat, card sleeve, coin, binder, folder of your waifu wearing clothing that shows a lot of skin and making a seductive poseYes
Full art Rhydon when?
>>57152064You could've even replaced the bottom 3 with the starter FA, but Rhydon is the one that's always present on each of his teams
If they don't fix this shit you know someone on the dev team masturbates to Articuno
>>57152073Lots of things in the game are just designed so little kids can have more of a chance, this is one of them
someone just called me the n word
>>57152083
>>57152084that's an L, so it's fine.
Can anyone trade me a Chatot?
>>57152094I'll give you one in exchange of full art misty (yes I was that kid)
>>57152094The feature to trade hasn't been added yet but should be ready in January
>>57152097bet it's going to be the last week of january if it ever comes
>>57151874>using Scolipede as the deck face when Weezing is the one carrying that deck just like he carried Arbok and Muk
>>57152094sent ;)
>>57151874God you know Gyarados is disgusting when its counter is below it at #2 and it’s still top dog
GyaradosCHADS hear me out we can shut down the Aerodactyl(hitmonlee) meta if we only just give up the 6 slots of Greninja for 4x Vaporeon and 2x Giovanni,you don't need the 20 chip damage from Greninja after the 20 from Chuddigon and Giovanni boost to Gyarados for anything.
Didn't think just 1 copy each of a basic and its evo would work that well but Wigglytuff ex in Weezing/Arbok has been pretty good. Arbok and Weezing do slow the game down enough for me to draw Jiggly/Wiggly and charge them up I guess
did y'all know there was another version of the card game where you have 60 cards it plays different
>>57152151Least delusional Gyrados fag btw.Happy to play you for money Pika vs. Gyrados anytime:^)Mewtwo has a rough matchup for sure, but the other decks do rape you.
>>57152099probably since we don't have any info in the game right now"in january" without a date essentially means Feb 1st
>>57151874Wow the professional TCG faggot was right?He said Mewtwo, Pika, Gyrados is tier 1 and Zard, celebi was tier 2.
They're going to monetize trading somehow, right?Like, there's going to be trade hourglasses and full-art card trades take a full week of charging trade energy right?
>>57151978Post the link.I tried googling and just got actual faggot results.If that was the intention, that is humorous.Still would like in tho
How does Mewtwo even work that well in tournaments I'm getting bullied on my New2 deck with Mew and Slabs and all the other bells and whistles, Old Mewtwo was working so well for me it feels like ever since I added the slab + 1 mew things just aren't going my way
>>57152198How has it gotten worse for you?It's gotten so much smoother and more consistent.Make sure you play 2 Leaf too, faggot.If you're just losing to Gyrados decks, welcome to the new world. Gyrados does rly well against Mewtwo.
>>57151997Her body is unbelievably sexy but damn from the neck up it’s hard to justify the ‘would’
>>57152203I'm just always missing a piece for Gardevoir to come online I guess and I don't even fuck up the slab either, usually have a Pokeball ready to shuffle or already have a good hand with essentials like Leaf+Oak+Sabrina before I play it in case it sends something good down to the bottom of the deck
>>57152226Bro you’re digging for a gardevoir. If Slab missed that wasn’t a good card
>>57151978This shit is way too much work and I got my 3 waifu cards through natural methods which makes them better I seriously hope you guys dont do this
>>57151874Bros I thought Fighting decks sucked shit
>>57152247Don't open if you just knocked out my Pokemon
>another full art pinsir
>>57152257How many you got champI have 5
>>57152235I'm not always digging for Gardevoir though, sometimes it's Kirlia, sometimes even ralts.Are you saying that I should hold on to slabs in my hand until I have a Kirlia online ?
>pull zapdos from rare pickthank you based gods
>>57152261In this instance anon, even your autism should have seen that gardevoir could have also meant ralts or kirlia. If your entire game plan revolves around getting a gardevoir into play, then what cards are more important than one of the line? I’m saying you shouldn’t be butthurt that you bottomed a Sabrina or a Leaf or whatever other bullshit you put in your deck. None of those were important enough to justify waiting an entire turn on your gardevoir to have. Instead look at it as you getting a whole new turn to dig for them
>>57152271which slot did you pickill use that too my next attempt
>>57152286lower right You have to manifest and visualize the slot as the pack is opening, its the only way
>>57152261You should be using slab to either draw Kirlia/gardevoir/whoever or get closer to drawing them. If you shuffle the deck after you're removing some of the benefit of using slab
I really like the rainbow cards but ive had no luck at all. Got two gold cards but they look like shit imo
FA Professor's Research never ever...
>>57152302I like the sound gold cards make when you play them
So...That 5mb update days ago was just to fix the "daily free thing" notification?
>>57151997Fine lil snowbunny
Wasn't there supposed to be a promo Greninja? I feel like I never see it. DECIDUEYE WHERE
>>57151918Serperior is a woman and Celebi is a girl
Marshadow is so strong. They pressure and stall my opponents while I kick with lee
>>57152330It's practically identical to the base card anyway
I feel like this card is being overlooked hard, but I can't quite figure out what to run it with.
>>57152377I run it in my Gengar ex deck since it needs a meatshield that isn't too passive due to Gengar ex only hitting for 100Clefable would be more consistent though and that 10HP difference is still very relevant in the current meta
full art giovanni showed up in one of my wonderpicks. should i go for it bros?
>>57152208Think you might be gay bro.>>57151997This woman is such a shameless whore lmao. I bet she masterbates to houndoom.
>>571523971000%Share the dudes friend code too if you can. Add him after the wonder pick if not already frens
>>57152247They chew through a lot of the current meta decks, but the problem is that they have no real way to deal with bulky grass decks. It's why grass decks suddenly started being meta again when people switched from Celebi to Exeggutor w/ Celebi. And Venusaur is basically just an auto-loss for the fighting deck.
>>57152397Do it, and post results.
>finally try Dragonite>play three games>win twice>get three likesAh. So this is why you do it.
>>57152247They do. They beat Magikarp, have a good chance vs Blaine and Pikachu and autolose to everything else.
>>57152397If you do it I'll try the rainbow Aero ex Wonder Pick I have on my end with the same slot as you
>>57152024I've played a couple of games with drudd/dragonite and I've encountered only one scenario vs a gengar ex where I couldn't build my dragon powered up in time
>>57152419I don't get thanks even if I used dragonite. Just gimme me thanks you miserly fucks.
>>57152377Need some kind of psychic type blaine for this to work.
Lumineon and starmie ex only
>>57152411>>57152415>>57152426i picked middle and got ralts, gio was in the top left. ragequit and shut the app off so i dont have a screenshot of the end result. this is a WP from an irl friend and he told me that he got this gio from the free login pack campaign this morning. here's his code if yall wanna try your luck. 1057-5603-2553-7496
>>57152441Ah fuck now I'll have to do the Aero pull. Let's hope my luck's better than yours in a couple hours
>>57152441You didn't believe in the heart of the cards.
>Koga Weezing>Discarding Fossil>Killing yourself with ArcanineWhat are some other funny ways of conceding without actually conceding?
So what’s the Pika strat into the new meta? >2 Pika ex>2 Zap ex>2 Blitz / Zeb>1 Dedenne>2 GioThis is what I’ve been thinking about running in the upcoming pvp event, assuming no major shifts happen in meta trends.
I'm so mad I stopped opening MI and went back to GA, I could've been at near 1250 points for FA Green but it's way too late now. Fuck.
>>57151881>tiktok streamer plays some silly non meta deck>face non meta dekcs
I love facing golem decks and kicking the fuck out of their retarded rock with Hitmonlee before they can even put it in the active spot kek
>>57151983
>>57152496You get your last chance with the free MI pack tomorrow
>>57151874This is hilarious to me because I just remembered people were severely downplaying Pikachu with all the Gyarados decks running around.https://arch.b4k.co/vp/thread/57123534/#57124288https://arch.b4k.co/vp/thread/57123534/#57124469https://arch.b4k.co/vp/thread/57123534/#57124936
>I got two aeros EXis that basically the deck
>>571525642 Marshadows and that's it yeah
The way some people use Sabrina is truly baffling. What was the gameplan? Instead of really hurting my big guy you decide to go for an easy worthless point from a pokemon I already gave up on? Lmao
>>57152565>onlt 1 marshFUCK
I'm so tired of going first bros
>>57151986name a bigger tournament
i have 2 of those "thanks" tickets in my giftboxes from 2 people who liked a showcase item of mine. they arent on my friendlists and i do not recongize the names from any previous battles. how does this work?
>>57152040it beats up Pikachu decks because of marshadow. also I'm really tired of getting matched into fighting decks every other game when I'm playing lightning. Never see this when I'm playing water.
>>57152579your binders or display plates randomly show up on other people's display areas. they liked them.if you don't want that, set your binders and such to private.
>>57152040It attacks early enough that shit should be weak by the time they finish setting up. Plant is a piece of shit though because of the retarded amount of healing they have.
>>57152530>last chancelast chance of what
I almost bought the 10€ christmas sale gold pack but I opened 20 packs on my alt and got absolutely nothing which stopped me from spending money for the same experience lol
>opponent had 4 cards left in deckM2 is a bad matchup for this deck list anyway. Did the game *really* need to fuck me harder? kek
>>57152613Forgot to mention: I banked everything on my only out (Zapdos) and rolled 4 tails on M2. The game wanted me to lose that one,
>>57152605>>57152605I'm going to buy it will report back
>>57152617NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>57152683>Pikachutard mad at the game for matching him with other metafags
>>57152677You've wasted your words, unfortunately. He won't listen. Gambling already gets you too hooked to quit, but then Pokemon? Literally just makes you a simp who'll do anything for your childhood star.
I've about 30 pack pulls saved. Should I go for that FA Leaf or save them for the next packs? They're really burning a hole in my pocket bros.
I'd like it if they gave 2x EXP for battles during the events. Needing to win 30-50+ times, not just battle but win, for a single level up is a real bitch.
>>57152692Wait for trading
>>57152697Bro? I need to win 90 matches to level up at 33. It might as well not even be a thing anymore desu the rewards for leveling up are lame compared to the "effort" it takes.
>>57152687>>57152677I have most of the cards I want from free packs, I don't much spend money on games like this
>>57152699I seriously doubt people are going to trade FA waifus for anything I have desu, my luck has been shit and the only repeats I have are 2 immersive Mewtwos and 2 rainbow Gengars
>>57152667they aren't. some guy keeps arguing in the thread about how's its good but I never see anyone use it.
>>57152703Wasting $100 on virtual cardboard in a game with a penchant for powercreep already means you're either mentally ill or are rich enough that money holds little to no value for you and you're using it to fill a void - which probably also means you're mentally ill. Don't delude yourself into thinking this is a good thing.
>>57152707I spent $10 lol
>>57152330distributed like 3 weeks ago>>57152410>he doesn't like cute sluts
Are people buying accounts for this game? I wouldn't mind selling mine desu, it's not very valuable but anything would be fine before I get the itch to spend any more money.
>>57152703This is what unironic non-meme cope sounds like, their core objective is to convert people who don't pay into people willing to pay by creating a resource drip feed relative to the pull rates and backing down as little as possible from their price points
>>57152717Probably
>>57152715Shit. I only have one and I don't want to return to Genetic Apex for right now.
>>57152722And it might trigger others but i don't fall for the drip feed to spend money. I've played plenty of gachas and have been to casinos irl , I am not a whale lol
>>57152727It certainly triggered some shit in this thread.
>>57152717Same but I doubt it's worth much even with all the PVP emblems so far.
>>57152667Eh, I’m just trying it out. I don’t think it’s great, but I also don’t like the idea of running an extra stage 1 in a Zeb deck list. With the Aero beatdown deck gaining popularity, Pika might be a bad choice for the pvp event anyway. It’s one of those matchups that you can tell the winner and loser apart within the first 3 turns.
>>57152647Sometimes it is an empty space at the end of the name, somethings it is stuff like "s EX" as mentioned by anon.
>>57152692Anon I'm not doing it myself because it seems like a pain in the ass but the best way to get FA trainers or anything is doing the WP discord thing.
>Potion + Erika on Celebizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
>>57152064Kino
What emulator works for this game? I tried BlueStacks but got some message that forces the game to shut down
>>57152781Change the graphics renderer to Vulkan, you will probably get a black screen on the first try, but it should work on the second.
>Win 6 in a row with alakazam>then lose 4 in a rowthe stage 2 curse..
>>57152731Even if accounts were worth something (which I cannot vouch for), this account would not be worth much. You've got Sabrina and GA Immersive Mew, that's it. This is like a $20 account maybe, tops.
>>57152781All Android emulators are cancer in some way, but BlueStacks and MEmu are the most cancer. Stay far away from them. LDPlayer and MuMu are the good ones. Most people are using MuMu because it was the only emulator that could play this game for a while towards the beginning.

>>57152800legit playing this shit is a curse. no wonder golem fell off
>>57152800>>57152803Yup, I had matches where both my Gravelers were on the last 3 cards of the deck, that shit is retarded
Wait, did mewtwo decks drop Mew?
>Four (F O U R) water decks in a row>All of them get Greninja out on curveThis game is so fucking rigged holy fucking shit
>>57152810>get snuck up on by a ninjaUh, duh. >>57152809Not good ones. Some have been experimenting with Jynx to beat Gyarados though.
>>57152810Yes anon, the game IS rigged. We learned about this during the previous Win Streak event.
>>57152795>>Pika can’t pack M2 and Gyara hate at the same timeI still don't understand how Pika beats Gyarados. I understand type advantage, and I understand theoretically it should, but it's never happened to me. I've never played against Pika and been like "oh yeah, that deck wins this matchup". That said, you can run both Raichu and Electabuzz, and even Dedenne kills Magikarp if Gyarados gets a bad draw and must start Magikarp forward. Or even if people are now playing Magikarp forward on purpose to defend against Hitmonlee.>This win streak event is going to be absolute cancer, isn’t it?I feel like the 5 win streak is always going to be cancer. They give you damn near a month to get 45 wins, but you only get 7 days to try to RNG into a 5 win streak. Inb4 someone tries to say it's skill. It's not. On my 2 accounts, it took me iirc 32 and 36 wins to get a 5 win streak, and then immediately after I got my win streak, I was winning with any deck, including an 11 win streak with Tentacruel Greninja, even beating Pikachus with it. It's all just RNG. Everything in this game is RNG, and the odds of flipping heads 5 times in a row is ~3%.
>>57151874>3.5% Golem>3.0% Fighting>2.4% AerodactylI get that they have to differentiate Golem, but shouldn't that be 5.4% Hitmonlee?
>>57152803>>57152805New item>Great Ball>Draw a stage 1 or stage 2 Pokemon out of your deck (your choice).
>>57152834>your choiceLol you thought
>>57152834You mean you flip a coin to see which type you draw
>it costs Shinedust to trade your Rares in for special shop ticketsWhat the fuck? If anything the gsme should be GIVING you Shinedust for that shit
>>57152834every deck is now 20% balls by volume
>>57152834>gard and serperior come out 100% every game nowGood job friendo
>>57152826>open with Pikachu in active>opponent opens with Druddigon in active, Magikarp in bench>see their board and just drop X Speed into Dedenne into Sabrina into OHKO on Magikarp
>>57152853They already do
>>57152857Then not coming out 100% of the time on turn 7 is what gives you a chance to win
>>57152855>play out your entire god draw hand on turn 1 to beat GyaradosI understand the theory, it's just never happened to me.
>>57152861Pulling dedenne and sabrina turn 1 (or 2) isn't exactly a god draw
>>57152848Nah, I understand it. You're "trading" them for premium cosmetics that cannot be acquired any other way. Unless you wanna save up literally thousands of tranny tickets.
>>57152865>Pikachu>X Speed>Sabrina>DedenneThat's 4 of your 6 cards, resulting in presumably winning this hypothetical game. You're playing out your entire hand to beat the opponent ASAP. That's a god draw.
>>57152872Pikachu doesn't do anything there.
>>57152879I understand, anon. I play this game. You still listed it in your greentext. Your greentext requires you to play out nearly your entire hand on turn 2 for a win. That's a god draw, even if Dedenne is the thing that's winning.
on one hand i can't believe these aero ex lists memed their way into top 16. on the other, once you see the quality of the games and just the nature of pocket in general, i believe it.
>>57152886Aero Ex is legit good, it's a solid very well built deck bro
>>57152886It just doesn’t really matter what you play in this game cuz everything is within 5-10% effectiveness of each other and 80% or more of the game is just draw luck
These tournament streams are awful...Official ones when?!
>>57152886It's very Energy efficient, which Mewtwo and Celebi have proven is the way to play the game.
>>57152893I feel like any official tournament would be best of 1 and therefore a worse representation of this RNG based game.
>>57152868Yeah but they already want ten billion Shinedust and a million duped to finish out even a single card, shits ridiculous
>>57152898just win the coinflip
Holy fuck holy fuck holy
>>57152904That's how I got mine
>>57152904That's awesome anon, good shit
>>57152893>Official ones when?!An official tournament was slated to happen just before Mythical Island but it was canceled for technical difficulties or something like that.IIRC it was going to be best of one without fixed decklists.
>>57152898>RNG game>tournament should remove RNG
>>57152914Kek why is Nintendo always so fucking awful with their rule sets for literally every single game and event they run
>>57152861>>57152872>>57152885Other anon replying to you wasn't me. That literally happened to me last night which is why I even mentioned the X Speed, it's not theory or hypothetical. There are other paths to win, but I just listed my most recent. Dedenne and Zapdos are both OHKOs and you could start with them directly. If you can't draw Sabrina or they have a bigger bench or they evolve Gyara too soon for you, you just adapt based on the situation. The only ways I've lost to Gyara while piloting Pika (not counting the expected brick that can hit anyone) is if they get a 2+ heads Misty with a safely evolved Gyara in the early game.
>>57152914>IIRC it was going to be best of one without fixed decklists.
I guess the Raichu build is still the safest bet for Pika, only now your Gios are useful on Pika for cleaning out Drudd. Zeb is (and always has been) bad into the M2 matchup,
>>57152920Believe me, I do understand the theory, it has just never happened to me. If Gyarados evolves, Pika loses, and that is what happens (for me).
>>57152474I think you should still be playing Raichu desu.I'm playing this rn2 Pika ex2 zappy ex2 new Pikachu (better than old for sure)2 old Raichu1 Electabuzz (new)1 Dedenne (you can cut this for another buzz if you want)2 x speed2 research 2 PokeBall 2 Giovanni 1 Sabrina1 lt surge I really wish there was room for Red Card. You could consider cutting a gio, Sabrina, or the Dedenne slot for a red card.
>>57152665Isn't it like 6.25% chance sir? (.5)^4
>>57152941Its 90% to get tails.I checked with Misty.
>>57152667>I don't understand why people are playing dedenneIt's the new Pincurchin. Same thing for 1 energy instead of 2. Same principal as Jiggly or Wiggly. It can potentially stall you out of unwinnable scenarios.
>>57151874>No blaine deckLol, lmao even
180HP for a stage1 EX is so retarded why did they do that
>>57152964it only gets worse from here
>>57152936>2 new Pikachu (better than old for sure)Is that even true though? Like yeah, new Pikachu is better than old Pikachu if you have a full bench... but if you have a full bench, why is Pikachu in the active slot? What breakpoints does new Pikachu with a full bench hit that old Pikachu does not? New Pikachu doesn't even kill Froakie.
>>57152647I couldn't use Celebi EX and I'm not sure why either
>>57152964Which? Gyrados? Its ass
>>57152949this but 100% and with Celebi
>>57152964they thought it was balanced out by needing 4 energy to do anything
>>5715294Not twice in a row, it isn’t.
>charizard player losing to the gyarydos energy discord after a 3x tails inferno divejesus
All Misty cards are seeded btw
>>57152994That was fucking hilarious, insane how lucky that gyarados fag got
>Own 2x Gyrados Ex>Own 2x New Vaporeon>Still don’t own no misty cards
>>57152967Staryu is a big one.3 shots Sharticuno EX3 shots zappy exIt's marginal, but it's better. I was surprised how good it was in certain spots.
>>57153008150 points bro
>>57152967Also, it one shots little frog with gio
>>57153002i would be seething if that happened to me
>>57153008For me it's Brock for the Golem deck.
>>57153016For the better, that deck is kinda ass
>>57152964Gyarados traditionally has ludicrously high HP. For comparison, the only other cards in the base set with 100HP were the starters, Machamp, Arcanine, and Chansey.
>>57152983>>57152941I can’t even (You) properly today.
>>57153020Makes sense. His whole gimmick is going from worst pokemon in existence to supremely powerful rape dragon(water/flying).Giving him big numbers is the best way to convey this to children.
>>57153008I have 8 Mewtwo ex and only 1 Giovanni.
>>57152667for 1 energy this nigga has saved me with parahaxchip damage is good too
>>57152893/vp/ tourney when is the real question
Not playing sabrina is legit braindead
>>57152667Better pincurchin, lets you stallI prefer zebstrika/galv myself though
>gyarados players forgetting to play around sabrinamany such cases
Just found out blue works against bench hitters...My magikarp defense is impenetrable now....
>>57153009I'm still not convinced. If you have a full bench as Pikachu EX, there's absolutely a better Pokemon to have in the active slot than normal Pikachu. You're not gonna be fighting Articuno EX or Zapdos EX with regular ass MI Pikachu and a full bench. Like, what the fuck retarded shit did you put on your bench that it's completely full and you don't have a better attacker? Is your bench a Dedenne, an Electabuzz, and another normal Pikachu? Why did you fill up your bench without a wincon on it? >>57153012>fill up your bench >somehow, the best attacker you have is normal ass Pikachu>why did you fill your entire bench with things that aren't wincons? No idea>the Pikachu is a suicide lead too, if we're attacking with it into pretty much anything in the game, so you're probably not living to turn it into a meaningful Raichu>so you have the weirdest combination of Pokemon you can possibly have, so weird that I can't even imagine what it is, and you're choosing to attack with MI Pikachu>and now, in this nightmare RNG scenario that I can't even imagine, you also need a GioIf you are trying to say that MI Pikachu kills Articuno EX (it wont in any real scenario), then I'm going to inform you that GA Pikachu kills Frogadier in 2 turns, same as MI Pikachu.I'm not saying one is better than the other. I haven't played Pikachu since MI, and I might not ever play Pikachu again unless next expansion shakes things up, but I do not think it is cut and dry "MI Pikachu is better" "for sure" like you seem to think it is. It's better in situations where you'd definitely have something better you could be attacking with instead. The best and most relevant part of MI Pikachu, imo, is that it's the same as GA Pikachu with 2 on the bench, and this might make it "better" than GA Pikachu? Because I guess if it's just normal Pikachu and one on bench (with the other one also being a dud, like another Pikachu) you probably just lose at that point.
>>57153038You play Sabrina to close the game.I play Sabrina to get hard.We are not the same.
>>57153047I have no FA Sabrina though
>trying to play this shit competitively when like 80 percent of it is RNG
>>571530513dpd aside, that cosplay looks so cheap and dogshit lol
>>57153014I used to play M2 in Apex and I went up against a mirror in a tournament’s first round. I got a little cocky because I had the ingredients for an on curve Garde in my opening hand, thought it was 100% win rate and then I saw something I had never seen in hundreds of matches played with this deck: opp had double curve Garde and I lost. Tilted me to fuck
>>57153058please don't badmouth our Ursii...
>>57153051wood berry>>57153058>t. homo
>>57153055This is why it's ludicrous this dogshit company is asking players to do 5 wins in a row on a monthly basis before fixing their braindead battle system
>>57153062What do you even get for doing that shit
>>57153063A cosmetic that you can put on your profile, which players will see when beginning a battle with you.
>>57153062Its done on purpose so you pay up for your best chances of winning meta deck.
No, I don't think I'll do the 5 wins in a row challenge again
i understand this is a gacha game for babies and not to be taken seriously as a competitive game, but the amount of cards that can win or lose a game off of coin flips is ridiculous
>our
>>57153058Are you telling me you're not attracted to a fruit roll-up, bigot?
>>57153066Meh, if it isn't helping me get more cards I don't give a shit
uhhh aerobros all lost
>>57153072>tfw i don't have the gold version of the first emblem because i'm retarded and thought it just stopped at bronzethe 5 win one was really easy for me though, i managed to play 5 people playing random decks they threw together with whatever they had while i was playing zarcanine kek. i have a feeling the next one is going to be completely ass though.
>>57153058Here, I fixed it.
>>57153088Based
>>57153088now i can jerk off
>>57153088No but unironically insane how much hotter this is
What's your go to deck and what do you want in the next set to improve it?>Weezing ScolipedeI just want a basic dark type that can cheaply poison and have a lower retreat cost. Grimer ain't it.
>>57153088I need to know if she bought the body stocking for the cosplay or if she already owned it for different sexy reasons.
>>57153109she was talking about it like 2 weeks ago on her stream and i remember her saying she bought it for the cosplay
>>57153069I have the best decks already as F2P and it's still not enjoyable, it's insufferable
>>57153112Disappointing.
Poisonbros? Golembros? Blainebros?
>>57153118Do you think those players even use Facebook or are they just on a discord faffing about the meta decks? I joke /tcgp/ is always wrong, but at least we're trying new things.
>>57153118Imagine another pika m2 final lel
how did aero lose to fucking pikachu and gyarados in ro16
>>57153118Celebisisters...
Grass is the most BS deck of the format by far>Exeggutor gets 160 HP and can swing for 80 off 1 energy>Celebi is a Basic that gets to drop even bigger nukes>Have access to Erika and Potion to undo any of your damage progress
fossilfag will never let us hear the end of it if m2 jynx wins this thing
>>57153118Honestly, an pure Arcanine deck might have shit all over this tournament.
>>57153128Tempo kills the grass player. I handle them with dark types and the only thing that stops me is gassing out early game.
>>57153072Based and same.
>>57153132*Highrolls with misty*Nah get wiped
>>57153132How? Arcanine loses to Gyarados and Mewtwo.
>>57153128It's all flip dependent and Celebi sucks without support
>>57153136>>57153137Did you guys bother looking at the bracket? There are three Gyara decks, and Arcanine has a shot vs M2 (assuming you run Mew). The deck does very well vs the other decks in the bracket, so a little bracket luck would have gone a long way.
>>57153141>"just win the coinflip">even in situations that are only adjacently related to the coinflip gameOf course, I should have known.
>>57153141Dumb motherfucker
Ralts should be 30hp too
This game is so RNG dependent that the meta has kneejerk reactions within like a week's span
This is so cute, all of you acting like this is a real game
>>57153149Florges should do 90 damage, not 80.
>Mew2 vs Pika>Comes down to zapdos coinfliplol
>>57153153But anon, it was nominated for mobile game of the year!
>>57153118It turned out Golem didn't top the last tournament because Golem was good. It was because Hitmonlee and Marshadow were good. Once people figured that out, the deck morphed into Aerodactyl. Which does have decent representation in the top 16.
>literal coin flips deciding top 4 tournament matcheslol
coin flip game
>>57153166That’s usually how it goes unless someone bricks or fucks up
I will save the meta
So what did they mean by buffing Mewtwo decks with Slab?
This game is not competitive
>>57153187that won't stop us from pretending like it is thoughbeit
>coinflipping isn't a skillThat's why you will never gonna make it.
>>57153174Reminds me of the insufferable faggot who keeps scoffing and bitching when people complain about how RNG-filled TCGP is with its rampant coin flips (and even when you avoid coin flips you're still forced to deal with the one at the start of battle)>WHAAAAAAT?!?! AAAAAAAAAAAALL GAMES HAVE RNG, LEAVE POCKET ALONE AND GO PLAY SOMETHING ELSE>HUH IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME PLAYING A GAME, GAMES HAVE RNG
whats the aero deck?
>>57153185Pikachu will get an electric type version of greninja next set to make sure it can keep pace
Seeing Zebstrika/Hitmonlee kick the fuck out of Magikarp is so fucking funny I love it
>>57153187I wish the devs understood this, I thought they did but then they did something so astronomically out of touch as introduce 5 wins in a row, and then even worse insist on bringing it back
>>57153202Yeah, that faggot is really annoying. Especially when he tries to say that all TCGs have the same amount of RNG as Pokemon TCG Pocket. I've never seen someone on 4chan be so smugly incorrect about everything.
>Celebi player hits me with Sabrina to bring out my Pidgeot Ex>4/4 heads OHKO
>>57153144>>57153147Sorry you feel that way. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think that Arcanine would do well in a tournament focused on Gyara hate. Sure, you could get bad bracket luck and lose early, but if you didn’t? The late bracket games are somewhat favorable.
>magikarp lived because no x-speedfuck i wanted to see that fish get sniped so badly
>>57153224outskilled desu
>>57153228>anon went from >"pure Arcanine deck might have shit all over this tournament">to >"Arcanine would do well"Arcanine did already do well. It got 3 of the top 32.
Gyarados players are legit briandead why did he do that lmaoHe missplayed twice and only got lucky in the previous match cause rng decided to take the energy from the zard.
>>57153251>play stupid>make it far with misty cheesealmost like this deck is annoying and lame like everyone calls it out for being
>>57153240>”pure” was meant to exclude Zard>”shit” was meant to mean “have a really good run, possibly win”Zard is a liability in games outside of Gyara, but that might explain how these decks made it to top 32. Arcanine has a higher chance of losing early in the tournament, but I think it might have a better shot at winning late in the tournament.Probably irrelevant as long as Gyara is popular, though.
>>57153118Intredasting........
I can't believe that match was real. Misty luck really carried that Gyarados retard into top 4 lmao
>>57153265Every deck is "annoying", anon. Pikachu is the most fair meta deck, and people were seething about that nonstop last expansion.
>>57153286>Misty luck really carried that … retardThere’s a reason why the card is so controversial.
>>57153289Pikachu out of all the top tier decks is by far the most fair.
>>57153275I play this deck but with 3 Mews. Maybe 1 Celebi would be better, I have no idea. It just feels like a normal ass Tier 3 deck, nothing crazy. You still win off Exeggutor EX because he's fucking insane. I don't think he's found his perfect home yet.
What sucks about Pocket is you could think of a great underrated deck that would win a lot, but then get RNG'd to hell in the playtesting phase to discourage you from thinking it was a good idea
>>57153296Yeah, and it did not stop anons from bitching 24/7 about it.
>>57153289Pikachu isn't all that fair since Zapdos can steal wins too through coin flips, not to mention it's not fair either in the sense of being blessed with both playmakers searchable via opening hand guarantee + Pokeball, which something like Aero wouldn't have the luxury of for instance
>>57153298It's a card game. The alternative is yugioh tier bullshit
>>57153289Told people this last meta and they seethed, the crabbing is unreal and we’ll see a spike in it during the next 5 wins event
>>57153275I sat in on the last game this deck played in the tournament. The guy playing it bricked super hard the entire game. Couldn't draw basics besides Eggecute. Couldn't draw the non-RNG Exeggutor. Ultimately had like 6 useless cards stuck in his hand.He still nearly won. The game came entirely down to the last coin flip.
>>57153303>steal winsIt costs 3 energy and you know the damage range beforehand
Fags who have mathematically lost but keep on playing and wasting time are such fucking niggers
i know coin flips are gay but imo the rng aspect comes from only 3 points + ex cards being standard. 2 ko’s = match over which is like, no time to allow games to have any variance or time for outplay potential. Like aside from keeping cards in your hand and bluffing that you cant evolve, how do you outsmart your opponent in this game?
>>57153312where can you watch these matches
>>57153335twitch.tv/ursiiday
>>57153303>Pikachu isn't all that fairFalse. It is the most fair meta deck. >Zapdos can steal wins too through coin flipsIt can lose you the game just as often. It's a gamble when Pikachu EX sends in a Zapdos hail mary. Using that move is often the deciding factor in who wins a game, and banking on an ~18% gamble isn't really that great in Pikachu's favor. Compare that to something actually unfair, like Misty, where Misty can just win you the game on the spot, but if Misty flips tails you don't immediately lose like you do if Zapdos fails the 18% coinflips. Misty also has better odds at winning. The most unfair thing about Pikachu is that Lt. Surge can move energy to Raichu, which it then promptly discards.>not to mention it's not fair either in the sense of being blessed with both playmakers searchable via opening hand guaranteeAnon, you are being such a fucking wrong and argumentative retard that you're saying Pokeball isn't fair. Besides, modern Pikachu, the playmakers are Pikachu and Raichu + Surge (unsearchable by Pokeball, 2 card combo, alternatively Gio). Zapdos is an "oh shit,, we lost unless we win this 6-18% coinflip" button, that has an 80% chance statistically for you to lose if you attempt the play. >which something like Aero wouldn't have the luxury of for instanceYou're now comparing apples to oranges like a retard. Part of the strength of Aero is that it doesn't have Basics. You stupid fucking retard. Would Aero be better with basics? Uncertain. The decks its in take advantage of the fact that it doesn't clog basics. They're just not comparable and both have their advantages. To put you in the best light possible, you are playing devil's advocate in a situation that you are completely wrong about. Worst case scenario, you believe your own bullshit. >>57153311>Told people this last meta and they seethedSame. Pic related.
>>57153305Yugioh got to the state it's in because they would break the game on purpose with new meta decks in order to sell them, since they had a banlist they could fall back on after letting people get their money's worth. It was very meta-motivated. Pokemon gets tons of people pulling who don't even intend to battle seriously but just want to collect the flashy cards. They can actually afford to introduce and maintain a more balanced battle system.
>pikashit vs mewtroon finals
>>57153335When a match is being streamed, the tournament page will have a purple "Live" button. In this case, it was on the Twitch channel of that one e-whore people keep posting in these threads.
what are these niggas doing
Forcing you to play the same deck all throughout the tournament with no side deck to fall back on is so stupid, both these decks are built around beating Gyarados kek
who is the guy commentating he looks familiar
>>57153356Decks are 20 cards, there like 90% of all decks play exactly the same trainers and items. A theoretical sideboard would just be an entirely different deck.
>>57153351their best :^)
>>57153340The incredible amounts of seethe and menstruation over anything rng related or any deck that’s hard to play against just tells me the anons itt haven’t been through a real Cancer Meta in a game. I’m not gonna pretend there isn’t gay or unbalanced cards but nothing warranting the whining over…literally everything. Softest motherfuckers ever
>>571533643 card sideboard?
>>57153368Based, true, and real.
basic pokemon focused on support like ralts, froakie and snivy having kinda high hp starts is kinda stupid. 60 is enough for them to not die on the bench or die early on in the active spot>>57153368get a trip
I hope the next set adds some new electric strategies. Just choosing between bench sniping with Zebstrika or extra burst damage with Surge+Raichu isn't enough to make lightning decks stand out form each other.
>>57153374>everyone who disagrees with me is the same person
>>57153376Ampharos Ex will save electric
>>57153341Yugioh also lacks rotation, so it literally needs to keep introducing broken bullshit to motivate people to buy new packs, or they'd just play the old good decks forever. Pokemon generally just goes in a cycle of giving weaker typings stronger guns, then taking them away after 2 years to re-introduce them later. It's why Pokemon decks from 5-10 years ago can (usually) hold their own to some extent against modern decks, while in Yugioh 5 years is long enough to completely obsolete a strategy that used to be meta.

>>57153409I have 2 guys that do it without fail everyday, its craazy. I dont even know how to like a showcase
>>57153326>how do you outsmart your opponent in this game?There are scant few opportunities to outplay your opponent in this game, and almost all games come down either to matchup or to draw RNG. There are only 2 games that stick out to me during this event as me having outplayed my opponent. One was in the Gyarados mirror match, where he stupidly played out both Druddigons very early on, possibly just out of habit and because Gyarados was still UTR at that point. I left an open bench spot for an eventual 2nd Greninja. We both got the first Greninja at about the same time, but I got my 2nd a couple turns later. I sniped the Gyarados to 160 first, so that if the opponent brought him in, then no matter what I could kill him and win. Then I started pelting his Greninja with my Greninjas, and he conceded shortly after playing his 2nd Froakie into the spot his Greninja previously occupied. No one ever attacked. Then another time I was playing Lumineon against a Mew. For some reason, he kept putting stuff on his bench, so I kept sniping it, but I stopped putting things on my bench, so his Mew couldn't do anything to me because he was playing off color. These are very uncommon occurences though, which is why I can remember them. If it were common to be able to outplay your opponent, you wouldn't be able to remember situations where it happened.
>Marshadow doesn't get triggered by GreninjaWell that's fucking annoying
>>57153319I don't see how that changes anything. It presents you with an opportunity to reach a threshold that can bail you out of what could otherwise be a game loss.>>57153340>but if Misty flips tails you don't immediately loseThat's disingenuous since most people do lose because they bank on its success being their win con, and many people even outright forfeit when they fail with Misty. The same thinking you can use for Misty failing not being an immediate loss is the same with Zapdos, since the card rewards you for investing in it early on anyway with its 1 energy attack, making the bridge to 3 not far off. Like I said to the other anon, Zapdos lets you reach a damage threshold that Pikachu struggles to reach otherwise, which is why it can steal those games. If you want an example of a meta deck more fair than that, then Koga easily comes to mind since you know all its ins and outs going into a game with it, with no surprises in the form of nuking or energy, etc. Arbok traps and Weezing poisons, but they always do that, meaning it's always in your interest to play around instead of it being out of anyone's hands.>Anon, you are being such a..Lot of insulting for something that's a genuine and clear imbalance, there's a very clear bias in the game toward Basic and away from Stage 2. Of course it's unfair that the game launches with hand fixing that winds up favoring a deck designed around Basics. Cards like Raichu and Zebstrika are flex approaches. Dedenne and Electabuzz for instance are other picks because Basic spam helps fill a bench.>You're now comparing...Apples and oranges are both fruit. They can absolutely be compared just like in this context, and the fact that you lean so heavily on insulting and less on sense just makes it seem like you know you don't have much argument. Aero would 100% benefit from being searchable. When fossils get a searcher it wouldn't even be a question of if they'd run it.
>>57153409I've had one guy from this thread who did it every day, but he stopped. I've done it for all friends for a week now without receiving anything back, so I don't think I'll continue.5 troon tickets in total from battle thanks and showcase thanks is the most you'll get a day, right?
they should make an arbok but for grass decks next set
So i just need to flip coins better?
>>57153437Yessir
I used to like all my friends' showcases but I had to delete them to increase my odds of getting full art Leaf. I was weak. Can you find it in your hearts to forgive me?
>>57153437Yeah, think you can handle that, tough guy?
>>57153447Youre a monster.
>>57153421>That's disingenuousYou're the one being disingenuous, anon. Misty is only a wincon in 18T Articuno. In everything else, she's a winmore or a cheat. You're just making shit up because you want to argue. >The same thinking you can use for Misty failing not being an immediate loss is the same with Zapdos, since the card rewards you for investing in it early on anyway with its 1 energy attack, making the bridge to 3 not far off. That's not accurate it all. You're being purposefully retarded. There's no way you believe any bullshit that you're saying. Misty is a zero investment instant win card, that has no downside if you lose. No downside, infinite upside. Putting 3 energy on Zapdos is something that you have to know in advance is something you're going to do. It is guaranteed investment with no guaranteed outcome, and if you attempt it and lose, you pretty much instantly lose the game on the spot. They are not the same at all, and you are being so retarded that it's absolutely something you're doing on purpose. >Zapdos lets you reach a damage threshold that Pikachu struggles to reach otherwiseThis is what Raichu is for, not really Zapdos. Again, Zapdos is just a 6-18% chance to bail you out of a situation where you've already lost the game. That's the most fair "cheat" in this game, because the Pikachu loses if he misses. Anyway, I'm tired of this. I'm done replying to you. You're being so purposefully retarded that it's insane. You cannot possibly believe your own bullshit. You're playing devil's advocate and you do not believe anything that you're saying. You just like arguing about nothing.
that guy should have dedenned once then zapdos hoping for 2+ heads, it's 34% instead of 31% chance
>>57153447Knowing what we know about trading (literally nothing), abusing wonder pick is the sensible approach if you can stomach the process.
Not being able to set an amber first turn is gay
>>57153465Not being able to do anything first turn is gay.
>>57152683This is why making anti-Gyarados decks is fucking pointless. You won't be able to take down a Mewtwo while dealing 30 damage per turn and actually facing Gyarados is comparatively rare.
>>57153479Mewtwo deck can be beat by Aero deck using Farfetched + Marshadow or an early Aero, the matchup it has an issue with is Exxecutor
>>57153051>couldn't even be bothered to get the right haircutInto the trash, where it belongs.
>Opponent only sets Exeggcute>Kill it with Gio'd Farfetch'd>Game overWow ok
>>57153326It depends on which deck you're playing. Decks that are more decision-heavy (like any deck with bench targeting or things like Exeggutor/Butterfree that have to pivot often) usually have more potential to predict what your opponent is about to do and make choices that prepare for it.
>>57153437Ye, do 5 reps of 10 flips per day and you can get your success rate to around 58.25%
>>57153491>have to go 2nd and have 2 specific cards in starting handogey
reminder that for the time being, this is a miniature version of the pokemon tcg. Its not very competitive and most of your matches hinge heavily on a coin flips, your starting hand, or going 2nd. Thats ok, games still fun.

>>57153506I got the peekerchu
>>57153506If this is a macro pack I'll try it tomorrow when my stamina refreshes.
>>57153483You get Farfetch killed first after it deals 40 damage to m2, then you revenge kill it with Marshadow. Then Marshadow gets killed by the other m2 (50 + 20 from weakness + 10 from Giovanni) and then you do what exactly? You have no way to deal 150 damage in one turn and your opponent will just put another 2 energy on Mewtwo and obliterate anything you can bring out.
>>57153496Yes frogposter, it's an unlikely and funny scenario not a counter meta strat maybe you didn't get that.
>>57153456>or a cheat. You're just making shit up because you want to argue.You're clearly projecting since it's you who wants to argue. The cheat aspect you literally just mentioned is what I'm talking about because they'd need to cheat you out of what would be your win, which is why the game would hinge on it in the first place.>That's not accurate it all.Oh but saying Misty has no downside is accurate? Your opponent literally cannot play it in the same turn they drop Oak or Sabrina or Leaf (Druddigon), meaning it's time-sensitive, just like energy accumulation on Zapdos. No shit you'd have to know in advance you'd do it because you'd recognize something like Pikachu won't win in the same situation (e.g. up against a Mewtwo EX), which is the point I'm making to begin with about Zapdos stealing you games.>This is what Raichu is for, not really Zapdos.Raichu has to not only be assembled (regular Pika + Raichu + Surge) which is RNG in itself but it can't even bail you out of the same situations Zapdos could, going back to Mewtwo as an example. It's not like you can drop Gio and Surge in the same turn, but you can land 3 heads. For someone throwing intelligence-based insults around it appears you can't grasp these things. Or maybe you just don't want to because you'd be eating your words.
>>57153521You shouldn't skip several turns before remembering to click the attack button with Farfetch'd.
>>57153523oge dokey
>>57153521the other mewtwo or something else on the bench has damage on it if they have 2 mewtwos with 2+ energy and gardevoir
>>57153532OK then, Farfetchd gets killed after dealing 80 damage to Mewtwo. It makes zero difference because you still need to bring out a Marshadow after to revenge kill it. Or are you trying to imply that you can kill the first Mewtwo with nothing but Farfetch'd? LMAO
>>57153541Moron, both Mewtwo's are low on HP
>>57153506>3/5 odds of an ugly cardNope
>>57153541>you still need to bring out a Marshadow after to revenge kill it.Yeah, do that.
>>57153541Do you even play this game or do you just theorycraft
>>57153541You don't play the game do you
>>57153425>5 troon tickets in total from battle thanks and showcase thanks is the most you'll get a day, rightNo. 50 is the max. Have you only been having 5 friends this whole time? Ouch.
>>57153521you are supposed to chip damage other stuff on the bench with Hitmonlee or Sabrina then burst with Marshadow
>>57153506What's the server?
>>57153554>50 is the maxretard
>>57153521So the opponent drew BOTH Giovanni in their opening hand, plus got both Mewtwo ex AND Gardevoir set up as soon as possible? If your RNG is that bad, then yes. You lose.
do mewtwo decks even use 2 gio
Celebi/Egg deck is the one that kills the Hitmonlee Aerodactyl deck due to the stupid amount of healing, not Mewtroon
>>57153532You go first.Turn 1 nothing important happens.Turn 2 opponent puts 1 energy on his active m2.Turn 3 you attach energy to your active Farfetch'd and smack for 40.Turn 4 opponent evolves Ralts into Kirlia and attaches 2nd energy to his m2. Smacks you for 50 (could be 60 with Giovanni, but let's assume he was not THAT lucky).Turn 5 you smack Mewtwo for 40 again and attch energy to Marshadow.Turn 6 opponent evolves Kirlia into Garde and attaches 2 energy to his 2nd Mewtwo. Kills of your Farfetch'd with his first Mewtwo.Turn 7 you attach 2nd energy to Marshadow and kill Metwo for 100.Turn 8 opponent attaches another 2 energy to his 2nd Metwo and swings for 150 killing your Marshadow. You now need a pokemon that can swing for 150 off 1 energy to win.You were right, planning out each turn actually shows that Mewtwo player was in a better situation than I originally thought.
>>57153574>attaching 2 energy to his BENCHED 2nd MewtwoKYS retard
>>57153574>Turn 6 opponent evolves Kirlia into Garde and attaches 2 energy to his 2nd Mewtwo.Gardevoir can only attach to active spot
>>57153574>Turn 6 opponent evolves Kirlia into Garde and attaches 2 energy to his 2nd Mewtwokek, you actually don't play this game after all
>>57153566I was assuming the best possible draws (although it was possible with just 1 Giovanni, not 2) for both decks based on the strategy suggested by >>57153483But >>57153574 shows that Mewtwo doesn't actually need any Giovannis if he goes second.
all sounds very far-fetched
uh oh mewtwo bros... this is not a good look for us..
>>57153574Yugioh player...
>>57153575>>57153578>>57153579>it matters whether Metwo kills you with a 4-energy attack or a 2-energy attack, trust me guise!
>>57153573Two things. >M2 isn’t a spectacular matchup for Aero.The deck has a lot of bodies to sponge damage with, and slab has made it moderately fast. >Egg ex is a bad matchupSame is true for most low-health, low damage beat down decks. Blaine is the only major exception to that rule.
>>57153589i have a phd in phone games and this game in particular, you are wrong
>>57153574Wow if the Mewtwo player can both get the proper coinflip and get the absolute perfect draw he will win? That's crazy man.
>>57153587If you're referring to me (you've called me yugioh player twice now), I'm actually this person: >>57153579It turns out that I'm more difficult to spot that you asserted.
>>57153581>although it was possible with just 1 Giovanni, not 2It wasn't. Mewtwo needed the first Giovanni to kill Farfetch'd. Otherwise, Farfetch'd isn't OHKO and just retreats into Hitmonlee who starts softening up the bench Mewtwo.
what is the problem with metal, just the lack of cards? or does it go deeper than thatno monsno support cardsno way to accelerate energynot even an EXye?
>>57153562>he doesn't know about stage 10 friendships
>>57153588you cant kill the marshadow with 50+20 without gio, then he can just change to farfetched again and gio + marshadow
>he's a schizo toooh no
>>57153600Your list is just another way to say lack of cards
>>57153600Yes it doesn't have good cards. What else would it possibly be?
>>57153568

"YGO player" here (I haven't played YGO since the first expansion). Here is a theorycrafted game that can actually exist:Turn 1 nothing important happens.Turn 2 opponent puts 1 energy on his active m2.Turn 3 you attach energy to your active Farfetch'd and smack for 40.Turn 4 opponent evolves Ralts into Kirlia and attaches 2nd energy to his m2. Smacks you for 50 (could be 60 with Giovanni, but let's assume he was not THAT lucky).Turn 5 you smack Mewtwo for 40 again and attch energy to Marshadow. (Mewtwo has 70hp)Turn 6 opponent evolves Kirlia into Garde, retreats damaged Mewtwo, and attaches 2 energy to his 2nd Mewtwo from the bench. Kills off your Farfetch'd.Turn 7 you attach 2nd energy to Marshadow and attack Mewtwo for 100. (2nd Mewtwo has 50hp)Turn 8 opponent attaches another 2 energy to his 2nd Mewtwo and swings for 150 killing your Marshadow. Turn 9 You now need a pokemon that can swing for 50 hp off 1 energy to win.Coinflip Mankey or MI Primeape can do this.
SOMEONE POST THE DISCORD PLEASE I NEED MY RARES IM GOING INSANE
>>57153647>pre-consneeding because muh rng
>>57153650farfetched with gio?
>>57153600Pretty much the only thing metal is capable of is sitting melmetal on the bench for 4 turns while you get it online. Unfortunately that means if your opponent has a good way to deal with melmetal you just can't win, and that's true for a few meta decks like mewtwo. On the other hand, the decks it does work on it works really well, like completely invalidating pikachu. It was a bit more fun in the previous meta where you might actually fight out the early game instead of just tanking and building on the bench, but that doesn't happen as much anymore.So yeah it just needs more cards.
>>57153637Now what mewtwo fags
No one post the Discord, as I don't need my rares and I'm staying sane.

>>57153650OK now do every other possible hand combination and also do variants with misplays. Also I want a report on Gem Knight vs Memento(OCG banlist).
>>57153637About the same win rate Mewtwo has against Gyarados. An uphill battle, but not completely unwinnable.

>>57153684All I was doing was correcting a retard who doesn't actually play the game, and the only reason I even did that is because some schizo thought the faggot who doesn't play the game was me (he refers to me as "yugioh player" even though I haven't played YGO in 20+ years)>Also I want a report on Gem Knight vs Memento(OCG banlist).I don't know what this is but I assume it's YGO shit. You're gonna have to get the guy who keeps insisting that I'm a YGO player to do that.
>>57153667As a massive contrarian, I do find it a bit annoying that the deck I’ve been running all week is now everywhere.
>>57153683The way people split up decks in this game are pretty retarded. Charizard and Arcanine are considered different decks, while Celebi and Exeggutor are considered the same deck.
>>57153700Yugioh player is a term used to label people who don't read cards, it is not to target you specifically, seek mental help.
>>57153715I'm pretty sure yugioh cards are wordier than pokemon ones though
>>57153715>Yugioh player is a term used to label people who don't read cards,Really? Don't yugioh have literally walls of text on each and every card nowadays?
>>57153715>it is not to target you specificallyExcept that is has been used specifically to target me, even saying things like "you're easier to spot than you think" or something like that.
>>57153727>this guy is still mad about that commentDifferent posters, by the way.
>>57153722>>57153726It's because they're notorious for misreading or misinterpreting the cards, kind of like how one might skim Gardevoirs text and think it can attach energy to the bench>>57153727Legitimately seek help.
>>57153715>seek mental help.Ironic post considering what your correction is about
>>57153733>still madIt's just always been wrong schizo shit though. >>57153736>schizo incorrectly identifies me, after declaring he is obsessed with me>I'm the one who needs to seek helpIronic.
>>57153743>It's just always been wrong schizo shit though. No. You have multiple anons fucking with (You) intentionally because you’re annoying. I know because I’m one of them.
Is wonder picking really fake or?
Anon is right though, us ygo players are illiterate. We don't read the cards, we just know what they do. Most of the time.

By all means, keep coming here and seeking validation that hasn’t come and likely never will. I’ve never once seen anyone agree with or even be nice to you lmao.There’s absolutely no way your posts are genuine. I can’t believe it at this point.
Ah yes the downsides of anonymity, at least in Discord you don't get schizo posters, everyone is accountable for their own actions so they either act better or don't get put up with
>57153834>>anon acts like a faggot and calls everyone a schizo every thread>excessive use of the word """we"""More unsuccessful schizo gaslighting...

Why do you come here to argue. I don't understand. Its pokemon cards.
>>57153861What website do you think you're on?
>>57153865I just come here to jerk off to pokemon and pokemon girls.
>>57153861Zoomer Newfags (circa 2016+) tend to use the anonymity of 4chan as a weapon and outlet for all of the repressed, mentally ill behavior that Twitter and Discord and Reddit has caused them to want to exhibit.
>>57153043It's happened that I don't have x speed, don't start w pike ex in hand and have to lead Pika. Or I want to snipe Staryu. It's better overall for sure I think. As you said, if your bench is empty thing are going very wrong. I would not recommend playing old Pika instead. I think it would be a mistake for sure.

I still can't believe "people" in this thread think the game is all RnG. Absolutely retarded. I guess gacha people can't into TCGs. I've played lots of TCGs. MTG was the best, but I prefer TCGP to MTG Arena for some reason. Arena just always sucked and it was retarded you can't get priority in certain phases on your opponents turn which pissed me off.
>>57153913If you legit think there's any skill involved and it's not all matchup + rng you're a moron
>>5715391git gud faggot
>>57153913A tournament just ended where the vast majority of TOP32 matches were decided by coinflips, gyarados energy removal rng, and of course decks bricking.There was no player expression whatsoever, nor any smart plays.
I wish this was just the full TCG instead of this dumbed down version (minus tag team cancer shit of course). Having a full deck with more draw power and shit would be a lot more satisfying to play with than this Monopoly Jr shit, but it's whatever. Guess they want you to go buy the cardboard for that.
>>57153946I don't have a problem with this version EXCEPT that they changed the going first rule. I don't understand why the fuck they did this as it does nothing but make going first suck and allows misty to win turn 1.
>>57153965How does going first work in the tcg?
>>57153913There's a LOT of rng in the game, whether it be matchup, draws, or literal coin flips. But yeah it's not like there's no skill. I win a bunch of games that I know my opponent could have won if I were in their place because I see them make misplays.
>>57153977Since energy is cards in your deck, the tcg has a rule where you're allowed to place 1 basic energy from your hand per turn. So it functions similarly to the energy zone in that regard. So for the real tcg, the only rule they impose is that the person going first cannot declare an attack. That's it. You can still attach energy like normal. I have NO idea why they changed this for pocket.
>>57153913There he is, there he goes again
>>57153978Thing is, skill ceiling is abysmally low, which obviously lets you win against kids and retards online but in tournaments every match will be decided by rng
>>57151874this is fucking pointless for real gamein pvp you will be sniped almost on every game no matter what you play for that sweet 50/50 winrate

>>57154018Skill issue.
>>57154018That's why you go for WPs with at least two interesting cards and forget about that trash event.I'm convinced the 1 in 5 chance is more like 1 in 50 to get something decent.
>get 1 PokeGold per level up>costs 6 fucking gold to open a single packTh-thanks
>>57154025>dies of boredom as opponent plays solitaireI fucking hope not.>>57154012It’s not awful, especially if you’re packing a Mew ex (you should be).
Just a reminder that if your deck at its best cannot beat the opponent's deck when it's at its best, then your deck is simply worse. Hoping that your opponent bricks is not a strategy, it's just schizo copium.
>>57154052You need to go first and draw Mew plus the usual Moltres+Growlithe else you still instalose
>>57154063Of course I meant going second, because going second is going first in this game
>>57154058Works for the M2 Gyarados match up.
>>57154063You really don’t. The M2 matchup isn’t that bad, BUT that assumes Moltres isn’t being a retard.
Gyarados energy removal mattering so much is icing on cake. What a fucking meme deck lol
Ampharos EX will save us from Gyrados when it comes
am i finally allowed to say i dont like this meta
The real problem card is Misty not Gyrados. Water types are impossible to properly balance with energy costs because Misty can just let people herp derp and bypass having to set anything up.
>>57154073It's literally its worst matchup second only to Gyara
I pulled all the shit for a celebi deck on day 1got all the eggs, got all the cels, got the sneksI deliberately didn't use the deck because it felt wrong and cheap so I instead decided to use gyarados and now all of you are saying I'm meta!!its the only card in my deck that's even able to do damage, how am I metaits just magikarps, chatots, and support cards
>>57154049Can you even use free Gold to open packs?
>>57153637Yeah and Mewtwofags have a 30% winrate against Gyarados kek
>>57154052I am packing mew ex but I fucked them up with arcanine alone.
>>57154107And it’s not that bad. Gyarados is the only thing keeping Arcanine in the trash bin.
>>57154154yes why wouldn't you be able to?
>>57154086>save us from GyradosGyara is already being bullied by fighting and lightning decks right now tho?
I'd say this meta is pretty diverse since we have so many people seething at multiple different decks
>>57154195the best metas are the ones where you are annoyed at everything
>>57154195This issue isn't the number of decks if how skewed the matchups are. I didn't come here to play rock-paper-scissors.
>>57154205thats literally what a multi deck meta is always going to be every single time
Alright bros, what's the /tcgp/eredict?'tor ex in Celebi dek. #IN or #OUT?
>>57154167It is bad. You have to rely solely on Moltres to power up Arcanine since ideally you'd want to dump energy on Mew for a revenge kill, then you need Arcanine on time along with x speed or Leaf. If you get Sabrina'd at any point, you lose.You can try to soften up Mewtwo with Heat Blast before going in for the kill, but that means Moltres will go down for sure, and then their own Mew can fuck you up. The only good part is that if they don't have Mew you usually win if you do manage to take down Mewtwo, by Sabrina'ing the Gardevoir.
I just don't like mewtwo. Its not fun to fight against even when I win. And they made it even better in this meta.
>>57154231The actual question is whether Celery has a place in your Egg deck.
>>57154231>#IN53% overall winrate.>#OUT47% overall winrate.>>57154248Also 53% to 47%. (Eggs decks are better than Celebi deck, but only marginally better.)
What is the most #Sovlful deck in the game? Dark Koga?
>>57154287Victreebel Pidgeot
>>57154287Fully colorless wigglytuff deck
>>57154287Nidos I concede to them after letting them fully evolve both Nidos. It's too sovlful.
>>57154287>#SovlfulAny non-ex deck in the game are BASEDful tryhard decks.
This game is like 90-95% RNG. If you have ever played any video game at all, especially any other card game, you'd be able to recognize this. There's matchup RNG, there's going first RNG, and there's draw RNG (your opponent's RNG vs your RNG). Then, there are the literal coinflips, which pretty much every meta deck has. The remaining 5-10% isn't even "skill", it's just not being a complete moron. In any given 10 games, there might be one single instance where you can make a "skilled" play for the win, but even then it's still not really skill, it's just the ability to not be a complete retard.
>>57154261Yeah, 'tor is a good early game wall, celebi works much better as a game closer, and with leaf you can bench 'tor whenever you want.
>>57154231As I've been saying since the first 5 winstreak even when I first tried out Exeggutor EX and saw the light, Exeggutor EX is his own deck. Like another anon said, it's not whether Eggs belongs in your Celebi deck, but whether Celebi belongs in your Eggs deck. Whenever someone figures out the perfect partner to Eggs, the meta will be reshaped once again. I've tried, and I still haven't figured out the perfect Eggs partner. I don't think it's Mew, for what it's worth. I think Mew is usually an upgrade over Wiggly, but I don't think it's perfect partner status. It could be Celery, but I'm not the biggest fan of what is in most instances a lesser Marowak EX, which is what Celebi is if you're not running Serperior. Maybe you do run Serperior in Eggs though.
>>57154287Team Rocket deck
>>57154335I wouldn't mind the RNG as much if it were just a Solo Battles + Private Matches kind of game, but I can't have a good time when they're placing victory streak expectations on me
Great game, I'm trans
to mankey or not to mankeythat is the primeape
>>57154357I've been having fun with Eggs+Pidgeot EX.
>>57154383I need to update this to include Tier 0 Celebi and the fact that Gyarados EX is a bad card.
Is it a good idea to pull 10 packs at a time if I'm trying to manipulate wonder picks? Like say I happened to get a god pack in that 10 pull would it not show up in a friend's wonder pick?
>starting hand has Magikarp>don't find a single pokeball or oak or any other basic pokemon>literally only pull greninjas and frogadiers and leafsok... I guess that's game then, impossible
>>57154437>>57153627
>>57153627WP still gives you a great chance at the chase cards that you actually want once every 2 days, for free. I can't imagine friend trading being good enough to outweigh the benefit of dicksword WP.
>>57154287Digglett/Maro-EX to embrace the truth of RNG dependency in the game
>>57154287Nido decks
>>57154425>Is it a good idea to pull 10 packs at a time if I'm trying to manipulate wonder picks?I think that 10 pulling is always a bad idea unless you're a whale who is max spending every day. Bonus points if you're doing it for YouTube content. >Like say I happened to get a god pack in that 10 pull would it not show up in a friend's wonder pick?The more packs you've opened, the worse the odds are, but no matter what, the godpack might just not be eligible to be seen. First, you might pull and Immersive or a Crown, which removes it from being a possibility, but then even if it's an eligible godpack, it still might not be possible to be seen, and if it can be, additional packs can clog the WP pool. For best odds, open one pack at a time, and then turn off WP sharing as soon as you open it.
>Achievement: collect 5,000 cards>Reward: 50 ShinedustKek are these niggers serious
>and then turn off WP sharing as soon as you open itWhy? To prevent later packs from being used in WPs?
>>57154531Yes.
>>57154533Guess I'm opening packs the slow way

>>57154106Misty is absolutely insane. Don't get me wrong, but Gyrados usually has plenty of time to get charged up without hitting Misty. All that being said, I don't think Gyrados is a problem. Magicarp is downside of Gyrados, as god intended. There are multiple ways to attack it.
>>57153913Someone is gonna claim you’re the same guy as the last person to say this because they can’t handle the truthnvke>>57154077Yeah it literally wins games and people call it bad. There’s 1 single common matchup where it work against you instead and even then it has to happen twice
