It will happen soon.
They mention it in the news article about some "Bonus Week Missions" that will happen next week.

Jesus Christ i thought sylveon was a pretty big power creep that at least added consistency to certain Stage 2 decks, but goddamn Suicune has made me bail on this game one week into the new meta. Like compare:
Sylveon:
>Requires 2 cards in your deck and 2 turns of setup for a 1 time "Draw 2"
>70 damage no effect
>Often unable to attack due to being a draw engine for decks that don't run Psychic
Suicune:
>Draw your whole deck just by slapping this in the Active spot
>Free sustain with cape and irida
>Synergizes with Gren/Gira which damage and farm energy from the bench
>Punishes your opponents just for playing pokemon on the bench
>Potential 100+ damage off 2 energy
At least Sylveon was never a win condition for most decks with its meager 70 damage attack with no effect. Suicune meanwhile can get caped up and just farm for free the entire game. Not even raikou or entei feel this oppressive. Fuck this card i'm done

>>58206799
and yet i've been raping suicune decks all the way through ultra ball with luxray oricorio
curious

>>58206761
So I understand the move where you can retreat Eevee into Magby and end up positive because of how Flareon ex works, but if you can't pull that off, are there any other tricks you can to to get more energy? Do you build up the active or the bench?
I want to make this work

Your points about not running two Sylveon are very valid, my thought process was that you do not want to ever play both Sylveon however you always want to draw ONE every game for the extra draw power. But including 2 also means there are times you will brick with two and clog your bench into suicune

one thing about flareon is that is absolutely loses against stokezard

>>58206814
To follow up on this, I don't know what to build up most of the time with the deck
Magby helps you go faster with energy accel but then you give up a prize. So if you build up a Flareon ex, it's easy to ko because you had to use combust to get to three fast.

Maybe the ideal is the build up gaFlareon and then try to have the point map be Magby, gaFlareon, Flareon ex? That way Flareon ex can power itself up on the bench while gaFlareon fights

How do you play the flareon deck? I never know when to lead with eevee ex or normal eevee, when to evolve, when to use the baby flareon or the ex, or how to not auto lose going first. This shit is so confusing, it doesnt feel like it has good options unless magby leads.

Okay game very funny

Just noticed that the FA Latias is available to paypigs only. This kind of sucks. Just got the FA Latios and it won't have its mate.

>>58206855
Obviously you always want to start with Magby.
>I never know when to lead with eevee ex or normal eevee
If you need your flareons or more pokemon you want to use the find a friend eevee over the EX eevee unless they lead with a baby and you can 1 shot the baby mon with eevee ex. If you don't have magby to start its not the end of the world because you can burn the energy on an eevee in tbe active to retreat into magby once you draw him which enables flareon to ramp itself.

>>58206739
I used pokehub to get my single copy. Just offer any 3 diamond from the last set and you'll most likely find a trade partner who is trying to complete their dex. A lot of ESLs on there though.

>>58206724
Rampardos Sylvally works decently enough for auto. Not reliable by any means but a decent chance to win
Miltank had a lot of potential, but the AI is stupid with heals and lets it get oneshot by Darkrai

>Oh boy I have a guaranteed win unless their sylveon pulls a red card with it's broken ability
>Red Card
I can still win but this shit is just so dumb, the entire tide of the battle shifts due to them evolving first

>>58206914
Oh FUCK yeah and a cape, now that's awesome just able to draw a distruption, and something that gets you out of kill range with 0 down side

>>58206903
>A lot of ESLs on there though.
More like ENL. Most of these people seem completely unable to speak any English at all.
The realization that there is probably an enormous section of the internet I don't even know exists because it's strictly in foreign languages, and mostly populated by people who don't visit the English parts of the internet at all, is somewhat disturbing

>>58206824
if you try to play anything but balls-to-the-wall aggro, you'll lose. don't think "magby costs me a point so if i lose flareon it's over" think "i can KO his suicune turn 5 and there's nothing he can do to respond to that so i win"
you swing turn 4/5 with flareon ex and KO their lead, then it's hard for them to field enough energy to threaten a KO back before flareon ex closes out the game. if they stall and ramp the bench while leaving the active with no energy, then build baby flareon and send it out first.
always try to ramp and evolve the ex eevee over the non-ex, because you can safely sack the non-ex if you're behind the curve to stall another turn, like if you went first and magby went down turn 2 to eevee ex or something. even if you're down 2 points turn 5, if you can play flareon ex you can still come back and win.
and sometimes you will just eat shit and lose because you bricked and didn't draw any copies of eevee or the bottom 4 cards in your deck are all flareon. but that's any deck.

>>58206855

>>58206855
It's admittedly a bit hard to understand at first, takers a few tries to realize that you have a lot of options for many scenarios. Magby start is of course ideal but it's not insta-loss by any means if you start with Eevee.

Baby Eevee if you have a really shit first hand. EX Eevee if you can take out their baby opener (or if you want to bruise Suicune a little so Flareon doesn't need to combo for a kill). It plays a bit close to the limit because the feel of the deck is definitely riding on the edge of your energies. You want to be burning your energies when you can. Ideal scenario is getting baby Flareon up to get a kill or two and then Flareon EX gets energies from the discard pile to clean shop.

Do you guys trade away cards when you only have 2 of them?

I am reluctant to trade away cards I have less than 3 of, but I am running out of those.

>>58206991
Replace Pokeballs with Beast Wall or something lol.

>>58207169

Kinda sucks raikou got nerfed so hard, water would be better kept in check if jt actually had normal stats.

>>58207169
i trade cards i only have 2 of if they're dogshit cards, which tend to be in pretty high supply. sure i like to play around with meme decks, but honestly 90% of the cards in this game are complete pack filler that will never win a game no matter how hard you try.
just today i traded my second octillery for an alola eggs so i could play leafeon/eggs, absolutely no regrets because octillery is 100% unplayable.

I've gotten so many dogshit pulls this set that I don't even feel like playing beyond daily pulls.

With 3 energy requirement you're better off just using the Pikachu EX variant with 150 damage.

>>58207203
140hp and a stage 1. Like its usable but stage 1s are in a bad position in this meta, they have no real good stand out qualities over basic or stage 2 pokemon. Stage 2 get rare candies and lillie, basic EX get high overtuned stats and more space in the deck. Every stage 1 is also competing with silvally, which has a good supporter card.

>>58207213
Pikachu has one turn, aRaichu can keep going

Pikachu has like 2 turns minimum cause you're using Elemental Switch and Zerora and Pichu.

>>58207235
Arceus can't hit any of the ohko's that I noted though, does that not matter?

>>58207057
NTA but i think it just hit me now
use baby flareon, hope to god you pull ex flareon
then if you sac baby Flareon that's a free discard and you just need to not take 150 damage in one turn to power up flareon ex (or be sabrina'd or greninja cyrus'd or take 130 hp and die to combust, or.....)

that being said the deck is great

>>58207244
only one psy energy needed is nice (damn this not being an ex card makes raichu look really bad)

>>58207248
it's primarily electric decks that have space for a colorless ex like that since they generate and recycle energy very efficiently, and said decks already have oricorio to stop the cards you mentioned dead.
plus, if you're ramping it in any way (it's colorless, you'd be retarded not to) you're likely to have the energy to attack before they have the energy needed to KO them. if you're attacking turn 4 or 5, darkrai's not going to have three energy, donphan's not going to have three energy, etc.

>>58207274
This is actually a really interesting point
aRaichu but it's NOT good at attrition and it's power falls off if your opponent isn't ramping as hard as you

Posting some brews based off this discussion

>>58207244
Psychic super effective damage is irrelevant and psychic doesnt have ramping to compliment this. Alakazam hasnt been viable since mythical island.

>>58207321
>Psychic super effective damage is irrelevant
True
>psychic doesnt have ramping to compliment this
Since it takes two colorless that doesn't actually matter, can use electric, water, fire

>>58207321
you can ramp it with a lot of things. people ramp darkrai with pichu even though it only has one colorless, zam has two.
that being said, you still have to run psychic energy to make it work. and given the deck space you're working with, you're probably looking at like pichu/alakazam/giratina. and why would you play that over gardevoir/mewtwo?

>>58207617
that's it, zangoose MIGHT be good in some situations

>>58207617
Memory Light fits into some gimmick decks, but it's not wholly necessary. The new Phanpy can be good with the former.

>>58207617
raikou ex is seeing a lot more success than people initially expected. great partner for magnezone or just a generic electric goodstuff deck. definitely a card i'd try to get.
as for cards that could be useful if you like lower-tier decks or meme decks... milotic, altaria, zangoose, jumpluff ex, celebi, memory light.

>>58207617
Memory light has some interesting utility. The other EXs aren't too bad either, surprisingly. Then stuff like Milotic, Celebi, Zangoose, Zoroark and Altaria can have their uses.

Aside from those, most of the cards are underwhelming. Maybe later down the line some of them could see some usage.

>>58207648
What use does Altaria have that isn't performed better by Silvally?

>>58207652
More hp no weakness easier requirement

>>58207660
What 90-100 fighting attacks even exist?
>easier requirement
Not necessarily, because the energy generated is always random. You could get shitty luck and have several pulls of the same type in a row. Meanwhile, you're almost guaranteed to have a supporter in hand.
And if you run 3 energies, you're stuck running nothing but colorless mons.

>>58207676
>Not necessarily, because the energy generated is always random. You could get shitty luck and have several pulls of the same type in a row. Meanwhile, you're almost guaranteed to have a supporter in hand
Kek

>>58207676
I ran into somebody trying to cook with an Altaria Darkrai Pichu deck. It didn't work but it was funny

>>58207652
the main thing is just that it has more HP than silvally (very relevant for the silvally matchup because it doesn't die to silvally+gio) and it lacks a weakness.
the energy requirement is mostly a non-factor in a proper deck since babies exist, i mainly played around with it in darkrai/pichu and since you run mono-dark energy but pichu generates electric it's trivial to get altaria online.
as it stands it's still not really a replacement for silvally because gladion is just stupid, but if they ever put out dragon support it's easy to see it overtaking silvally in certain decks.

>>58207687
Using babies to try and patch up multitypes is kind of a meme, especially if you're running 4 other basics in the deck. If you don't get it in the opening draw, it's a brick.

>>58207690
>but if they ever put out dragon support
I dion't think they're ever going to do this because they don't wanna bring back GA Dragonite on accident since it's supposed to be outdated

Got Pikachu's, Mew's, Celebi's, Dialga's, Giratina's, Guzma's, Lillie's, Buzzwole's, Eevee's (I think) and Suicune's.

as the first player you should generate a greyed out energy. it's of the type(s) in the deck, but is not "active". the energy will gain color and be "active" on your next turn. now the first player doesn't get fucked on energy, and can still use baby Pokemon and/or attacks with no energy cost.

Babies add consistency for multicolored decks. I've seen a good Garchomp/Alteria deck that got me by surprise. I'd imagine it's not tiptop tier consistency but it can hold its own ground.

Maybe it's best to say Alteria has potential. Currently not as reliable but it looks like they are trying to balance dragon gradually as a type, and I can see Alteria being a key support to splash into any Dragon build that breaks out.

>>58208482
Infernape discarding all energy ruined the pokemon forever. If it was “discard 2” he would be interesting, the only hope is if we get good support that allows the active pokemon to attack for 2 energy less.

>>58208532
I think the AI was serviceable when it was only the GA packs, but the more cards get added the more retarded it gets, I've seen it use two x-speeds to retreat a baby pokemon and use Red just to attach one energy to Darkrai and end turn.

Skarmory EX is so fucking funny man, I love it. I haven't followed the community but just double Skarm with heal and defenses is amazing

I wish metal had some good trainer cards outside of steel apron

>always going first against Suicune EX decks
>these fuckers almost always have 2 Greninjas doing damage by turn 4
What do you even fucking do against this shit? Even with an electric deck I can't ramp enough energy quick enough to deal with Suicune and at least one of the Greninjas.

>>58208733
Your opponents "almost always" get the exact 7 cards they need by turn 4?

Wow, thanks. A fourth Altaria while I have no other 3 diamond cards this set.

>>58208740
They always start off with Suicune and Froakie or the latter comes with the Research or Pokeball they play. They always start with these or draw into them the next turn. One Greninja comes shortly after, the second one is what isn't guaranteed as much.

Is there a good Entei deck?

/tcgp/ had me convinced that Sylveon EX was the best card in the game because it guarantees consistency but apparently that's completely redundant, as playing against a /tcgp/ poster seems to always, always guarantee the exact perfect opening hand you need

>>58208773
Right. Not the fact that Suicune in the active spot generates draw power on top of research and pokeball while only requiring 2 energy to attack, which gives them the possibility to attack on turn 4 if they go second. Astute observation there, anon.

Yes, the deck is consistent and it doesn't help that against it the game seems to be hardcoded to make me go first so they can start wrecking my shit.

>skarmory ex mirror match
>I get to go first
cool, now I'm playing from behind all game because he got the first attack off. fuck this fucking dumb nigger game. unironically id enable a toggle for auto concede if going first

>>58208829
>mirror match decided by luck
Wowzers

seriously though, if you "win" the coin flip you should be able to choose to go first or second. it's a slap in the face for the game to imply it's great that you "won" and get to go first.

it needs tweaking 'cause I just used it 3-0 in ultra but this isn't on youtube. does well against suicine and darkrai and is generally annoying to beat.

it's very simple, you set up jumpluff as quickly as possible while using pawmot line as a meat shield. once pawmot is online it has zero retreat and built-in rocky helmet so you
>retreat
>breeze by attack
>switch out to free rocky helmet to protect jumpluff

cyrus is the only real tech it needs to pull damaged pokemon back out for KO's and it's a very efficient deck, you just need 3 energy to set up. thoughts on improvements?

>>58208926
I like it but relying on multiple stage 2 pokemon seems rough. You've already got 2 communication so it's probably as good as it can be

>>58208938
it's actually not rough at all, literally half your deck is pokemon and I've had no trouble getting online. the real issue it has is the low damage per hit. i'm thinking a double red might be the way to go? thoughts?

>>58208994
It just seems like you're asking to get red carded though. Played a few matches and I'm having fun so far however.

I was actually thinking instead of red you could just double up on rocky helmet

>>58208926
I prefer the non ex tapu Koko version. Getting 3 energy on a basic is easier than a stage 2

>>58208994
I don't see what red is doing for you. 90 is not much of a breakpoint, and 160 (2*70 + 20 counterattack damage) is high enough to kill just about anything in the meta currently. Plus you hit weakness for another +20 on water and dark. Red might only really help against Espeon decks

>>58209007
..... I don't know if I agree with you there
But did anyone actually update that deck for this era? It might be better now with pichu

>>58208829
That's what you get for playing a braindead attack what's in front of you deck.

>>58209010
i think you're right, double rocky helmet works better. i tried lillie for sustainability but your better off dealing more damage over time
>>58209007
I prefer being able to attack faster for 1 energy and tank more damage, tapu only has 100 health

>>58206709
these guzzlord faggots hitting grindcore every turn can quite honestly kill themselves

>>58209060
this is legit fun. potential to high roll on jumpluff turn 2 is nice, cyrus ends up clutching a lot of wins too.

I don't get why you guys get so tilted over this game. The difference between GB1 and MB is 45 glasses. That's less than 2 days of free packs, once a month

>>58209060
Yeah I concur, this is an excellent Brew, actually fun.
Personally I think I might go down to one Cyrus just to run another communicator

>>58207584
I’m only missing dialga but probably won’t ever get it

>>58209152
thats cool, cyrus wins too many games for me to drop him down to 1. I did just brick for the first time with 4 basics on the field.

>>58209159
Occasionally it bricks yeah, but not anymore than any other deck
I just prefer consistency. I think the addition of the rocky helmets makes a big difference though

Funny enough more and more I find myself dropping down pokeball to one instead of two in a lot of decks

yeah same. it's a pretty simple deck so bricking isn't a huge deal plus i'm bored of 'meta' decks.
>>58209202
i've been trying to get pawmot to work since he released, only success I've had is jumpluff *pets you*

>>58209224
would maybe run it with raikou and some switches but yeah seems decent for a suicune counter

>>58209216
If the game isn't over in 30 turns, it's an automatic tie.

>>58209204
How the fuck did this happen

>>58209233
do you mean run raikou instead of jumpluff? it does give you draw power and snipes but the retreat cost of 2 is annoying. the pawmot/jumpluff double team doesn't lose any energy.

or did you mean just add in raikou? he is good but feels like it might kill the synergy of the deck.

ALTARIA SHOULD BE AN EX POKEMON

>still no memory light
It's obnoxious how hard it can be to get certain cards, even commons.

>>58209350
bro I did! and loved it. it's the only deck i'v been running that virtually never bricks. it even got tournament play I think. great job.

>>58209277
raikou/zeroa/pichu with a dawn/xspeed could work decently

Am I the only one who finds Zeraora overrated?

If you don't get it turn 1, it's dead weight.

>>58209312
I mean you're not wrong. I just refuse to slap ori and giranig into everything out of stubbornness.
>>58209391
there are loads of meta elec decks running raikou/zeroa/pichu in some combination that pawmot would just get pushed out. will experiment though.

>>58209384
Thanks I'm glad it did well for you! It's a lot of fun

luckycad just dropped this version with the gay bird and a zangoose. I like mine better, red and lillie feel like dead weight

>>58209060
If you are gonna be adamant about using Jumpluff why not use Zangoose instead it does the same thing Pawmot but unlike Drug it only has 1 retreat cost.

>>58209405
I think Oricorio would fit extremely well in your deck though. You can hit an EX them jump to bird for literally free damage

>open thirty packs
>only thing I get is rainbow entai which is the worst dog
fuck this NIGGER game for FAGGOTS

>>58209467
this does make sense because you end up with excess energy but I like pawmot because he one shots the bird and is good against suicune decks. plus he's a bigger HP wall for jumpluff.
>>58209495
I know but the point of the deck was to make something anti meta, not put the bird in like every other elec deck lol.

wtf, no sneak peak this month? Why i need it so bad, i still have no suicune and ive failed to get it on wonderpick like 6 times already.

>>58209516
I've opened 26 and all I have to show for it is 2 1-stars and 2 ex mons.

>>58209572
It was replaced with bonus week. It sucks.

>not trading for your missing cards
>opening packs needlessly
I seriously hope you guys don't do this

>>58209459
i think people got it right the first time with the darkrai version
zangoose up front, skymin on bench for free retreat while darkrai pings and jumpluff pokes.

>>58209685
I cant trade for ex suicune dumbass

>>58209714
Just wait for it to be tradable, retard.

>always being a month behind on the meta

>implying it matters

Oh you’re one of those retards. God forbid i want to use new cards when they drop, its not like PVP is the primary form of gameplay in pocket.

Then pay up, sweaty

No, I don't think I will.

>>58209723
I've faced not a single deck based on the new cards today. Some Stokezards, many psychic eevees, more darktinas

>>58207203
>ohko donphan with 3 energy
Um, actually, you'd need Donphan to have 4 energy. Donphan has 160hp, so you're 10 damage short.
PRÖÖÖHHH!!! :DDD

>>58209856
I've been seeing lots of Suicune.

>all of my friends either are constantly in "trade ongoing" status, wishlisted cards I have too few of, don't have the cards I'm missing or just did not set up a wishlist at all

Why is there no counter to indirect damage in pokemon pocket? They’ve let greninja and darkrai get away with everything, those cards ping you and theres 0 counterplay. Greninja is worse because an early turn 3/4 rare candy is almost an auto loss and a double greninja later is insta loss. Cards like blue and adaman are so useless, theres a reason why walling/tanks are dead in pocket.

>>58210092
Game needs Neutralizing Gas, or at the very least an ability that restricts abilities for benched Pokemon.

Why hasn't this made a comeback as a counter to suicune

>>58210300
It does kill a loaded bench Suicune. The problem is not getting Pidgey destroyed while trying to evolve it.

>>58207065
I got the full art card at the third pack. I'm never this lucky, game is definitely wrong.

>>58210300
I’ll try it just for you babe

>>58210300
because it's fucking garbage? if i wanted to kill suicune there are literally dozens of better cards.

>>58210300
80 damage requiring 3 energy from a stage 3 ex? in this economy? sorry this game isn't for balanced, fair cards
