" I don't see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not."

the game isn't very good at disguising that the order of your deck and coinflips decide 9/10 games

>>58214429
Im fustrated because no raikou or suicune, no sneak peak this month was the final nail in the coffin. I just gave up on trying to get the cards
>>
>>58214429
I've had really shit luck this month, so I'm not even playing outside of doing the daily packs.

>>58214429
This is the most concentrated meta so far. Ranked is literally nothing but Suicune back to back to back to back.
>>
>>58214448
Can't blame you. Took a 20 game losing streak because of consistent horrid starting hands. It didn't matter what I was using: Darktina, Suicune, Guzzlord, Sylveon, Buzzwole, you name them.

Going up against a constant barrage of Suicune decks that somehow always manage to get at least 1 Greninja online by turn 4 just makes thing even more exasperating.
>>
>>58214548
Can confirm, Electric has never eaten so good in this game's history
>>
>>58214429
I'm fine with the collecting and trading, but that's not interesting to talk about
Comparing this booster to the last post-expansion set pack in Extradimensional Crisis, that one offered a whole bunch of interesting cards in the Ultra Beasts, whereas this one is just Suicune and Mantyke mostly, with Memory Light not quite there before they add better prevos

>>58214161
Granny... erotic...
>>
>>58214584
As a Meowscarada enjoyer, Memory Light gives me something to do if I got forced to go first, so I'm already an huge fan

This set is mostly boring otherwise though, I already went back to STS to chase Full Art Cyrus/Cynthia
>>
>>58214584
Couldn't agree more. The themed sets like Extradimensional Crisis, Triumphant Light and Eevee Grove, to an extent, were much more interesting with their gimmicks.

Quick suggestions for this deck at ultra? Not even sure what I would replace 1/2 Morty with, possibly swap 1 for Comfey depending how badly I get fucked by status effects I guess.

Yes even w/o misty hacks. It even gave a pichu deck it had no business against a run for its money (couldn't draw cyrus in time)

Which is funny considering Raikou is only good to counter Suicune and Entei is pure garbage.

I'll look into those. Hopefully at least 1 incorporates the meme bird, it's way too funny watching someone resign because they only have EXs and thus cannot kill the bird.

For Flareon players here, ignore the fact I’m about to win, does anyone else find themselves in situations where they have to use sylveon to search for Flareon ex, then can retreat, combust, attach and KO with Flareon EX - but am in massive danger of being Cyrus’d or Sabrina’s due to Flareon EX detaching two and that ruining your necessary energy
This can’t really be avoided I assume right, or maybe just rely less of Sylveon searching unless it is on the bench

I only just started playing Flareon, but it seems getting Cyrused is an inherent risk unless you use EV bag to heal
>>
At some point they'll have to give in and add something like an item that makes mon immune to enemy ability damage. They might even have to go the extra mile and add some mon with a magic bounce ability that reflects all that crap at the user. It's ridiculous that darktina and greninja are still this dominant.
>>
>>58215131
>>58215159
Sadly it's a pretty tight list , I would love to fit some healing into it to prevent this issue
The issue that I see even more than that is that I can go all out with Flareon and just barely can't make it. Sometimes I have 10hp and then the opponent has rocky helmet
>>
>>58215264
Im wondering if running one x speed is worth it, granted, this issue hasn't lost me a game yet, but could
but at that point thats just me drawing badly and using sylveon crutch vs my opponent not drawing badly ,cant be helped
>>
>>58215282
X speed is going to make a comeback, the issue is lists are so tight right now, but Sabrina and repel are becoming more common. I'm surprised it's not run even more, getting stuck with something bad in the active costs you turn(s) and often the game.

Honestly the Flareon and Espeon are the decks least affected by this because you always start with eevee, but later turns having to retreat can still be rough.
>>
>>58215341
I like X-speeds in my decks. I've considered Repel too, but went with Iono for that particular deck.
>>
>>58215159
You dont need to use its ability right away, just keeping 1 energy allows it to attack whenever.
>>
I think the biggest issue with 20 card decks is that theres no room of QOL cards. Rare to run leaf or x speed, too many good cards and now we just all pray for a good opening hand

Something that I learned as a very bizarre PSA

There is a max hand size in the game. It is 10. If you have 10 cards and you play a card that would draw you a card (for example professors research) , instead you do not draw any cards. If you are at nine cards and play professor's research you will only draw one card.
>>
>>58215874
I tried this deck out a little bit, can you talk about the play patterns? It really seemed to me like it was mostly carried by giratina but that might just be because I started with giratina every time.

Flow chart is if you can lead with latias, just attack with it over and over and charge giratina manually. If you lead with Latios then you can just turbo charge giratina, put on rocky helmet and it has free retreat cost if latias on the bench. It makes more sense when you play, the meta isnt used to a 90hp basic thar deals 40 every turn.

>watching AI auto battle vs event deck
>AI draws red, which will allow rampardos to kill darkrai and win the game

>>
>>58215981
Do you ever attack with latios or is it just a shield?
>>
>>58216008
Occasionally you can stall and stack 3 energy onto it and ohko suicune with a red on your deck. Again you notice when you play, but yeah its usually your last option and a last resort. Typically you either stash all energy onto giratina, or you lead and attack with latias then dump the rest of the energy onto Giratina.

>>58214429
it's become tiring. greninja needs it's shuriken reduced from 20 damage to 10 damage. i don't think darktina is as out of control since it can't benefit from suicune the same way. suicune isn't unacceptable on its own--it's just the combo with greninja

I just made it to master with Alolan Exeggutor

>>58216398
This was the deck if anyone is interested.

The rank up match was incredibly climatic and satisfying. I went up against someone with a master top 1000 badge playing Suicune. He red carded me into Will turn one and I took out his first Suicune.
After that he used Mars and the card I drew was the second Will to take out his second Suicune.
He literally handed me the win on a silver plate.

Why does every expansion since CG exists solely to buff Giratina/Greninja? Holy fuck this is probably even worse than the initial Darktina wave. Suicune completely controls your board with Greninja and Cyrus. The rotational format for ranked can't come any sooner.

Leaping dodge +Will means guaranteed invincibility so you can safely continue ramping up energy. And with memory light you can evolve karp and keep using the move with massive hp boost of gyarados. Add misty to this and something like 18t or milotic support you have a very strong roidfish

How the FUCK do I set up a Fighting deck that can beat the Latios and Latias deck
Holy FUCKING shit
Every single strategy I try gets completely shit on by this garbage deck
Latias and Latios get set up, Latias does SIXTY damage, then a Ralts gets given a Rare Candy and Gardevoir gives Latios all three energy so it sweeps
If you try to counter that, you get fucked by Latias’ zero retreat cost, then you get completely assraped by LITERALLY ANYTHING because they will ruin your cards before you evolve and if they don’t get the chance they just Cyrus you

Way too slow, in the time it takes to charge one up you could charge up a Buzzwhole, Giratina, Luxray, Arceus, Darkrai+Tina, and all of it for a conditional 120dmg on a 100hp card that will get 1-shot if it doesn't 1 shot the enemy. It could maybe see use against Raikou or Suicune but by the time it comes online both of those have raped you.
>>
>Main water deck
>Nothing but Zeraora and Eevee
>Switch to fire deck
>Nothing but Greeniggers and Suicunes
>Switch to grass deck
>Nothing but Rampardos and Silvally
It seems like the play is to not make countermeta decks, but rather counter algorithm decks
>>
>>58219012
Grass should be raping silv + ramp though. Phero can kill fossils early and buzz revenge kills easily since it 1-shots silv and ramp needs a red or gio to 1 shot it without grass cape.
If you are playing cat or other gimmick grass decks then that's another story.

Greninja might be the most retarded card ever with cyrus. The fact that theres no counter play against anything just getting hit for 20 and cyrus’d in is so fucking stupid. I dont think theres a single card in this game that protects against indirect damage, why?
>>
>>58219080
>4 coons in a row

>>
>>58219080
Because the devs are fucking retards who don't play the game. Of they did they'd notice that NOTHING they've done so far has managed to make going first not be a huge disadvantage. Meanwhile devs who did play the game would notice this and fix shit with simple erratas, restrictions or just by adapting the core mechanics.
>>
>>58219116
I just hate how theres instances where you just fucking autolose to the retarded water dog. Oh they drew greninja early? Actual gg, nothing you can do. From turn 3/4 you will get smacked by nonstop 20 damage pings. The closest counter we have is shaymin, which isnt all that good. It doesnt really help against cyrus either
>>
>only lost to a Suincunefag because of him getting lucky with Team Rocket Grunt
what a shit card man lol
>>
>>58219080
It's not only a constant risk of getting KO'd with ZERO ways to prevent it
>Just don't have anything on your bench ever lul
But also it counts as energy disruption too, in just one turn so many factors go your opponents way for 0 cost
>>
>>58217572
To kike Wonder Picks and make godpack fishing less rewarding. Shinies instantly disqualify a pack from being shareable so their very existence dramatically reduces your chances of making it something that your main account or your friends can benefit from.
Honestly, you were better off than the average godpack I've seen shared post-shiny. A Crown and a Rainbow 2* is already creme de la creme.

I finally got to Master Rank for the very first time a few days ago using a combination of Espeon/Sylveon, Darktina and Suicune/Greninja. What can I say? I was desperate, but now I can finally start using fun decks again.
>>
>>58219189
I hate when people say that, most decks need to fill the bench with atleast 2 pokemon. Only rare cases you get away with nothing on it, and giratina with water hurts this strat. You cant stall against suicune

It would kill darkrai and frog but would not fix the issue with going first being a death sentence for 90% of decks unless your opponent bricks.

I don't know how the attack works, if you devolve an EX/Mega and it dies, do you get two/three points, or just one for killing the devolved basic?

Are there any good Jumpluff decks? I feel like EX would be good with something to pivot to but not sure what. Interesting to note that Jumpluff doesn't take Rocky Helmet damage if it switches though, not sure if that's a bug or what.
>>
>>58218088
Zangoose
>>
>>58219370
The most notable passive stuff you can use it to switch into are Shuckle ex, Pyukumuku, Zangoose and Oricorio. Maybe Regirock, Snorlax ex, Druddigon and Heatran too if their retreat/attack cost are not an issue
>>
>>58219370
Nope, they’re all gone. Walling is dead in pocket, setting up tanks that your opponent must break through lost its value. Jumpluff would have been insane in earlier sets
>>
>>58219388
I like the Shuckle switch but the issue is that it can't attack worth shit and really neither does Jumpluff. The switching meme is best suited to glass cannons like how I got Pikachu EX working with Tapu Koko and Oricorio.
Maybe something with Koko and Jumpluff together but that just sounds clunky.
>>
Also has anyone played against the faggot dog+frog deck that's using Poli's instead of Greninja? It's probably less consistent but holy fuck that shit is degenerate, you just keep getting punished for trying to play the game:
>bench anything? Lol Suicune nuke
>attack a frog? Lol Poliwrath nuke
>don't attack at all? Lol free draw and building bench
>Pokemon just get more power from the opponent having two Toeds camping on the bench

It has to be rigged, there's no other reason you should always be on a streak in either direction... If it was like Win 3, lose 2... If you could go like 75% in one direction over 10 matches, then that's just averages. But winning 8-10+ and then losing almost as many games, all back to back, is fake.

IMO this game is still quite fun but just needs more to it, more than just climbing a ladder
I don't even know what it could be, maybe something that puts more emphasis on collecting
Maybe some weird like tower climbing solo mode where you start with a shit deck and can steal one CPU's card each battle you win and try to build a stronger deck
Maybe actual win streak rewards in ranked battles
>>
>>58215613
Speaking of which, a couple of questions about shinies

>Are they tradeable in any capacity?
>For basic Pokémon, are their evolutions incompatible with non-shiny incarnates?
>>
>>58219563
I think these are good ideas

The issue I think is that this is a gacha and people expect rewards and game modes etc, otherwise what's the point?

Meanwhile in the real TCG people play the game because... Well, that's the point. Same thing with Yu-Gi-Oh and magic the gathering. There's no inherent reward system people just play the game have fun. Pocket is (slowly) reaching the point of maturity where people can actually play it to have fun. Actually if it wasn't for Suicune I would say that we are there already. The truth is there's a lot of stuff that is pretty "viable" right now in at least A or B tier, and a lot of older cards have gained relevancy as new cards have come out. That's an incredibly good thing for the game, but this game is in a weird position as far as gachas go

Personally I think they make the art cards and rainbows, immersive etc way too hard to obtain and there should be some sort of reward system for battling besides just packs. Ideally there would also be some sort of dusting system, like instead of this crappy flair system that nobody likes, we should be able to come by and multiple copies of an ex into a rainbow or immersive. That would at least give those copies purpose
>>
>>58219585
>Tradeable
Not yet
Maybe in the future

As far as your other question, it doesn't affect game play at all, think of it as just like an alternate art version of the card
>>
>>58219587
I don't have usable shinies, but I would prefer them in decks where there are a lot of same looking basics like Meows-Eye, or some electric decks
>>
>>58219647
I think they're useless and they seem to have diluted the rare pool
>>
Anyone here a good tinkaton ex brew? I can't think of anything aside from Will and Sylveon ex

>>58219686

Legitimately what the fuck did they do to the auto AI, before it was actually able to play the cards it needed to win, now it just picks random ones even when they do nothing, for context it could've played Sabrina and attacked for the final point but opted to use Red on a non-ex

>Meanwhile in the real TCG people play the game because... Well, that's the point. Same thing with Yu-Gi-Oh and magic the gathering.
People play real TCGs either with their friends, so they don't care about meta and play like 3 games a week, or on tournaments, where they play like 10 games a month. Real life TCGs are nothing like digital card games where you spam ranked battles to climb the ladder. Ranked gaming is a cancer that makes everyone participating unhappy

>>
>>58220032
I dont like those cards, your opponent could just have a card in hand that shuffles fhe deck again. Also morty wants you to have a full psychic bench, which js bad against suicune.
>>
>get to masterball
>try to COOK with other less used decks

oh well atleast i dont derank. It feels too hard to make creative stuff nowadays, the meta game is so demanding. No energy generation or energy ramp? You are fucked basically.

pretty much same
I use a meta deck to gain some points then lose them all by playing homemade brews

>>58220102
Suicune draws the whole deck anyway, wishing he doesn't have that card in hand is moot
(that card, usually being Cyrus)
>>
>>58220060
You actually get things you care about during sneak peeks? Half of my WPs are old packs.
>>
>>58220172
I have done 7 picks with no peaks, and lost on 4 raikou/suicune ex and it brings me closer to the void internally. Why have sneak peeks if they aren't going to always proc? Money. Sneak peek events are just resource vampires that punishes f2p players and at best paypiggies break even. There should be a law that makes it so if there's any randomness involved in a game where currency can be traded for real world currency, that that "chance" is displayed clearly, and with a summary of how the mechanic influences the flow of money. I'm so fucking buttmad.
>>
>>58220184
The only ex I even have in my list right now is A-Dugtrio, and it's expired.
>>
>>58220186
Exs aren't even the worst of my buttmad anger. I've been playing since release, 984(ish) packs pulled and I haven't seen a god pack, I'm convinced it's because f2p players have lower odds than paypiggies. Just like master duel, paid pullss always get ultra rares and free pulls are always rigged to drop commons exclusively. I had to pull Pikachu ~120 times to get my last ex for collections, which I ended up generating anyway. Damn this game sucks for f2p players, I feel bad for anyone who started recently, they don't stand a chance at anything actually battle related.

So I picked bottom right for both of the sneak peeks, the left one immediately showed the Jumpluff, and the right one was Slowpoke. I then chose top middle for the right because "of course the Jumpluff would float up to the top", and then it was actually there. So now I wonder if certain WPs are guaranteed to be a specific card in the end. Do you think I would've picked the same thing regardless of what spots I picked?
>>
>>58220247
I just use an old EXeggutor + Celebi deck. Works well enough.

Annoying that the AI's become stupider lately and can't play it as well it should be, but whatever.
>>
>>58220247
buzzwole deck is good, and eggs without memory tool because it mindbreaks the AI for some reason
>>
>>58220295
the game decides what you get before making you pick. the opening packs/picking cards parts are purely visual
>>
>>58220330
If this is true then how does sneak peek work?
>>
>>58220385
You’re doing a 20% roll and a 25% roll?
>>
>>58220385
Obviously it picks two cards and the perm is 50/50 between them.

I don't know why you morons love sneak peek so much, it's one of the most absolute horseshit excuses for a "rewarding bonus" """event"""" in this game.
Know what would actually be a good fucking reward? Wonder Picks aren't abject shit selections, and you can pay 4 stamina to pick face up on any pick.

Making both status conditions and negative effects go away on a switch out is such a retarded decision. What's the point of a card like normal Umbreon if sinply switching out allows you to completely bypass it's effect? In a world with Lyra, Leaf, x speed, boat and dawn it might as well not have an effect, same for evolution cleaning it all away.

That's how the real game works retard
>>
>>58220929
recover on switch is fine since it typically means that Pokemon will be out of the way for a turn and maybe lose an energy or two
recover on evolution though means early game status is fucking worthless since they just evolve and can start attacking again
>>
>>58220958
Again... That's how the game has always worked.

Would be cool to see a card ability like niheligo that says statuses don't go away on evolution though
>>
>>58220936
The real game doesn't use 20 card decks or pocket's energy system so you can shove that retarded argument right up your ass.

Is it true you're not paid at all to shill for the game? You really just do it for free?
>>
>>58221024
This rule has been in the game since before you were born kek
>>
Stop avoiding me you bitch
>>
>>58221034
So you've been shilling professionally for almost 30 years? Amazing, congratulations. Do they have some sort of reward system for dedicated shills like you?
>>
>>58221089
>Everyone I don't like is a shill!
>>
>>58221091
It's a different fucking game you Brian dead fucking nigger
>>
>>58221189
Clearly not :)
>>
>>58221091
But I never said I don't like you? I even congratulated you on your achievements, I thought we were friends.

What are the chances of drawing my 2 greninja 3 times. Hope the other guy had a laugh
>>
>>58221618
Why would you use poke comms turn 1
>>
Why are there only STILL 20 deck slots?
>>
>>58221622
>why don't you want your mantyke to have something to ramp
Huh, I wonder

Top kek

>>58221629
Your decision meant you lost. There was no urgency to ramp turn 1. I repeat my question.
>>
>>58221650
RNG meant I lost. Let me add more context so you can process the game, assuming you have reading comprehension. He had a mantyke in active and a dratini benched. In his next turn, he used rare candy and dragonite ex. Dragonite could attack for 180 because it had the energy to. Not getting a basic meant not only having nothing to ramp, but also taking 180 damage and losing, which is what would have happened had i not conceded.

Precocious-kun made a new thread early.
