Densuke Edition>I want to learn the game, where do I begin?Download PTCGL at https://tcg.pokemon.com/en-us/tcglThe game has a quick tutorial and a bunch of decent decks to get you started against other beginners or against the AI. Some of those decks are very close to meta too. You can also go to your local game store and see if people are playing Pokémon.>I know how to play, how do I make my own deck?You have a decent beginner's guide at https://www.justinbasil.com/guideThere's also the old /tcg/ guide at https://imgur.com/a/W4NkOu6After that, look up meta decks and try to reverse engineer them to see how things work.>Where to find meta decks?For big irl events, go to https://limitlesstcg.com/decksFor online events, go to https://play.limitlesstcg.com/decks?game=PTCGFor japanese events, go to https://pokecabook.com/archives/1417Previous thread: >>57201227Old /tcg/ pastebin: https://pastebin.com/Ge95YuMA
Second for Maractus a cute!
>>57223797She showed them to me last night, sorry...
[C][C] Crackling Short: 30 damage. Before doing damage, discard all Pokémon Tool cards from your opponent’s Active Pokémon. If you discarded a Pokémon Tool card in this way, your opponent’s Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed.N has 7 pokemon then? So trainers aren't limited to only 6. Unless klinklang got axed
>>57223797There's only Lillie's Ribombee left isn't it? And N also still has some space for N's Klinklang.
Ribombee is going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting because the rest of Lillie's cards are kinda ass. Clefairy is niche incase Dragon mons get out of hand but the attack is mid at best and not enough to carry a competitive deck. Comfey is trash if the pool it can search out are two other cards and itself. Her Pearl is pretty strong but useless if the only cards it can work on suck. I don't think any sort of stadium or supporter that will work on her Pokemon would change much.The best I could hope for is if the bee has some sort of item or ability lock. Making a target that shuts down decks give up no prizes would be pretty strong. I just want a playable Lillie deck, bros but she's not getting a lot of cards to work with compared to the other Trainers.
>>57224585that art/drawing style reminds me of the music video for Infinity Repeating, anyone know what that's called?
I have the skeleton of a deck from collecting casually and want to play a local event. Is the Trainer's toolkit worth it or should I just buy the cards as singles?Also is Mimikyu/Alakazam ex frowned upon for friendlies? I know stall and lockdown decks are a great way to to ensure no-one wants to play against you but I don't know if Mimikyu will get the same reaction.
>>57224654>deckbuildingsearch for lists for the deck you want to build on limitless and pokemoncard.io to check which trainers you need, then you can decide what to buy>Is the Trainer's toolkit worth itit is for many decks but you will miss certain specifics for certain decks. You're better off getting the zard league battle deck for the trainers and ace spec, plus you get a deck you can try out if you like it >mimikyuit sees a lot of play actually, and many decks include at least 1, even if it's just to gain an extra turn or two >alakazam exI don't see it very often after it released, but it's not a bad deck, as in people won't hate you for it lmao. Snorlax is much worse
>>57224678>zard league battle deckForgot about that as an option. Looks like it way more of the cards I'd need actually, the Trainer's Toolkit actually has a load of stuff I don't care about. Cheers
>>57224585why are they doing this to her ...
>>57224585Honestly all the trainers seem too weak so far. Even hop has way too many pieces to get near competitive level
>>57224915Hop feels like a B tier deck to me. Not enough to win a major tournament but can top cut if piloted by someone competent. Iono cards can flood the board with energies and provide consistent draw. Can probably provide a backbone to a lot of other energy hungry attackers with energy switch. N just needs a decent attacker it can copy, Trade Zoarark has already been proven to be powerful, it just needs a little bit more to be viable. The only one that feels left out is Lillie, but then again she has had very few cards revsealed compared to the others and it's not looking likely that she will get much more. Maybe she's just in there to be a chase card for collectors or she can get other cards in a future set.
I’ll post 9 more of these within the next hour most likely. Let me know if you get any cool pulls
>>57225983can't redeem, maintenance ongoing
>>57226033How long is that?
>>57225983Thanks, I got them. I'll post pulls when it comes back up.
I don’t remember this character, but this card looks pretty cool
>>57226091These cards have so much more SOVL with the yellow edges. When did they stop doing that? I noticed all the Scarlet and Violet cards have grey edges
I'll still be able to finish the last tier of the battle pass after maintenance rightit said 2 days
Coolest card yet, dunno when ex cards became V cards tho
>>57226091From the legends arceus game>>57226122Yeah gen9 started doing silver edges to match the JP sets which do it. The yellow is iconic because nostalgia, but the silver are clean af and honestly look a lot better
>>57226043bout 1 more hour
>>57226122Honestly the silver edges look so much better, especially on tcgl
>>57226136These must not be all that rare I guessI’ll post codes in just a moment
1/2
>>572262092/2
they changed the purple and crystal gem resource icons in tcglive
>>57226436looks better honestly
Alright, what's the play to shit on Zard right now? I am so fucking tired to losing to this faggot of a card. Game after fucking game of Zard > Pidgeot ex for Boss's Orders > Knockout > Pidgeot search Boss's Orders > Knockout. I fucking hate Zard, I fucking hate Pidgeot, what do I play that is an impossible matchup for them to retard their way though?
>>57226914I like bolt into it because ogrepons. Regidrago is by far it's best counter thoughAlso this site might be useful for you to find match ups https://play.limitlesstcg.com/decks/
>>57226939I am glad the best deck is the only meta deck I don't have the cards for. I do have everything for Bolt, though, so I'll give that a try. How much longer are we stuck with this shitter of a deck? It doesn't lose anything major post-rotation, does it?
>>57226955>I am glad the best deck is the only meta deck I don't have the cards forIf you get like 30 on the next battlepass tomorrow, you're given the entire regidrago deck that was played in worlds. Go dab on those charizards for the final 2 months before regidrago rotates
>>57226955> It doesn't lose anything major post-rotation, does it?It loses a fair bit, including rotom+fss. No radiant charizard either means their lategame is weaker. No rotom early game means they're likely to just brick the first 2 turns moreso than now. It wont be as degenerate at getting pidgeot into charizard T2 anymore, no fss means you can't cheat out 1 piece+fetch the other with pidgeot anymore
>>57226991I guess the Rotom/FSS rotation does matter a lot, reflecting on it. Radiant Zard I haven't actually seen do much work in the last couple of weeks, but it is a loss, you're right.
>>57227029>Radiant Zard I haven't actually seen do much workIt punishes your opponent a lot late game by making you go down to odd prizes, making you kill at minimum 4 pokemon for game. Now with that gone charizard ex itself has to do the final KOs, meaning it's at risk in the active and you can 2-2-2 for game a lot more cleanly now.but yeah the initial set up losing rotom/lumineon/fss is the biggest nerf. No manaphy and thorton either means getting your bench set up is a lot more demanding. other stage 2 decks like dragapult also suffers from the rotom/fss lose in consistency but it can run tm evo and evolve into the stage 1s which act as draw engines, while charmeleon and pidegotto are worthless.
Tera pokemon glare looks better now. Hard to show but you'll notice in gameMaybe one day they'll fix the regular FA glare too
>>57227325Oh they updated SIR textures tooSome with darker backgrounds look worse now since it's much brighter, but some look better as it shows the background more
So, since they printed Pikachu ex and Eevee ex, we're most likely getting big basic ex's back with Megas right? There's just no other easy way to do it.
>>57227600they could be level x's
>>57227600I'm expecting Break mechanic stuff. Which means the best ones will be stuff like Rayquaza and Diancie and Tyranitar, Metagross, and other stage 2s will be laughably terrible.That said imagining a Mega Pidgeot you plop on top of the current ex that can attack or something does sound decent.
>>57227629>Infernal rain on charizard>Break evolve it into mega charizard Z>Ohko everything in the format while having 400 HPI don't see breaks happening. It's most likely gonna be vstar 2.0
>>57227629It's probably just going to be VSTAR 2 with a mega token so you'll just be running 3 main 1 mega if they count as the same pokemon
>>57227629>Mega Pidgeot you plop on top of the current exMach Search ability. You get two searches per turn.
>>57228123I'll kms
>>57228123Fun fact, Quick Search is called Mach Search in the Indo version of the card.
>>57228348You mean every version except English?
>>57228393Silly anon, that doesn't say Mach that's a little smiley face :)
Hop's SandacondaFC - Tremor 30During your opponent's next turn, the Defending Pokémon can't retreat.FCC - Ground Break 140This attack does 20 damage to each of your Benched Pokémon.
>>57228475Hop's deck is probably just gonna be Zacian, Snorlax and the goat, probably with Archaludon or some shit. The bird and this card are just filler junk.
Lillie....
I really like how they changed the look of cards
>>57228542
Does the shadow calyrex deck purchase limit reset with the new season?I've got 1 left and 940 gems (trainer points now I guess)
