Dead...
Apparently this is viable? I kinda see it. Charge latios and giratina at the same time and you have back to back big hits.
>>58214257OINK OINK
dondozo finally busts out of the great ball pond into ub ocean
Threads have been dying pretty quickly. Guessing people are just bored or frustrated with the game right now. Probably both.
>>58214429" 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
>>58214429Im 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
>>58214429I've had really shit luck this month, so I'm not even playing outside of doing the daily packs.
>>58214453>no sneak peak this monththere is in 2 days
>>58214429This is the most concentrated meta so far. Ranked is literally nothing but Suicune back to back to back to back.
>>58214448Can'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.
>>58214548Can confirm, Electric has never eaten so good in this game's history
>>58214429I'm fine with the collecting and trading, but that's not interesting to talk aboutComparing 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
>>58214161Granny... erotic...
>>58214584As a Meowscarada enjoyer, Memory Light gives me something to do if I got forced to go first, so I'm already an huge fanThis set is mostly boring otherwise though, I already went back to STS to chase Full Art Cyrus/Cynthia
>>58214584Couldn'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.
>9 win streakI already know I'm about to get fucked over hard again VERY soon
>>58214257Dunno if viable but it looks fun>>58214392Does it work? Interesting brewJust saw this on godzly and I wanna try it out, eggs are fun
>>58214640Not a lot of Mewtwo these days
>>58214657Ok post brew? I've tried to make that work but I cant
>>58214663Last time I posted this without the mew2 somebody said they couldn't fathom why anyone would build this deck without mew2 lol
>>58214670Here you go, bro. And yes, I'm jist as surprised as you are.
>>58214670>>58214657Arceus is shit btw
>>58214681Yeah I'm thinking you need to queue up for a private match using password /vp/ right now so I can beat your ass.
>>58214687I mean sure? Like I said, it's most likely just pure luck.
Good game, add me
>>58214696No I'm just pissed because I lost to a fucking Arceus deck yesterday. Thanks I feel much better now.
>>58214722Ggs and added. Like I said, it's pretty much up to luck. Essentially need to start off with Pichu or Zubat into Crobat to win games.
>>58214738I've got these cards off your wishlist if you wanna make some trades btw
>>58214553I’m only in UB3 but I’ve seen barely any Suicune it’s mostly various electric decks and the psychic Eevee deck for some reason
>>58214658>does it workYes 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)
>>58214746I'll gladly trade one of the 3 diamond ones.
>finally find an active friend who wants an ex I have in large numbers>send him a trade>he stops logging in
>>58214807What ex?
>>58214814In that case it was Incineroar.I also have a bunch of Arcanines and GA Pikachus (7 of those little shits), an extra Moltres, Zapdos, Pidgetot, Mew, Gallade, Infernape, Pachirisu, Snorlax and Shuckle.
Best electric deck atm that isn't exclusively to counter Suicune? Raikou zone?
This is seriously bad for my mental health, where the fuck is the preview event anyway?
>>58214973not happening this expansion to maximize elemental doge fomo
>>58214973feelsbadman
>>58214907Pichu/Volkner and Luxray. Memory light electivire also works very well this meta
>>58214978Which is funny considering Raikou is only good to counter Suicune and Entei is pure garbage.>>58215011I'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.
>>58214973>>58215001TRIARbros...
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
>>58215131I 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>>58215159Sadly 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
>>58215264Im wondering if running one x speed is worth it, granted, this issue hasn't lost me a game yet, but couldbut at that point thats just me drawing badly and using sylveon crutch vs my opponent not drawing badly ,cant be helped
>>58215282X 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.
>>58215341I like X-speeds in my decks. I've considered Repel too, but went with Iono for that particular deck.
>>58215159You 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
I want more deck slots.
>>58215046Memory light lanturn is also great too with the promo chinchou
Johturd the floppiest packs
send me a trade and i'll see what i can do with your wishlistFC: 5107931946148946
>>58214548I'm just waiting for a Golduck or Golduck EX, and I'm not even a Golduckfag.The devs created a banger Basic Pokémon right at the start, and I simply want incentive to use it.
>>58215606said no one ever
>>58215658Yeah, on Opposite Day!
>>58215570The easiest fix is adding more formats with different rulesets, like bigger decks, first to 4pts, limited number of mons/trainers etc etcMakes more people's favourite mons possibly viable
>>58215787Which will sadly never happen
>>58215795I think when all the eCelebs lose personal interest in an airtight meta, their options are either pander more, or fizzle out.
Darkrai is a nigger card for niggersThat is all
Wow, ive been struggling in ranked then the latios twins somehow feel like the only consistent thing ive played so far.
Hahahahahahahaha
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.
>>58215874I 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.
>>58215874No way you actually played this in ub4 wow
>>58215341Fei has been running x speed in his suicune deck.
>>58214257I don't understand what to do with this deck, if you build up giratina you can't attack
>>58215960>>58215902>>58215895Flow 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>AI doesn't use it>loses next turn????
>>58215981Do you ever attack with latios or is it just a shield?
>>58216008Occasionally 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.
What's the best use for Shaymin Sky Forme? Has it ever found a niche at any point?
>>58216037can be useful in meme decks with scizor or snorlax
What was this supposed to counter
>>58216072If it came out back in ancient times where Moltres was viable, it could have been neat, I guess.
this set is fucking trolling me
>>58216082Come to think of it, I immediately ditched the game the instant shinies became a factor. This pic perfectly encapsulates his grimy it makes the game.
>>58216037It's not in any popular decks but it's pretty strong. Scizor probably likes it and maybe even Jumpluff
>>58214548>>58214429it'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
>>58216100I wouldn't nerf them but there should be a way to reduce/counter indirect damages
>>58216037At the beginning of TL people put it in their Dialga/Arceus decks.
>>58215881Post brew
>>58216037I had Skymin in my Palkia and Pyuku deck
Anyone got a good magcargo list
Post brews
Kek
This latios deck is fucking sweet dude, its funny because the dragons are literally cheer leaders. They help but its just tina generating energy and winning.
>>58216265Its hard to brew in this meta, everything is so helplessly strong
The repel propaganda is legit, this card is awesome.
>>58216385It's good right now but only because of suicune
>>58216385It's good when the meta is basic EX centric
I just made it to master with Alolan Exeggutor
>>58216398This 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.
>>58216353Latias is actually good because of how fast it is.Latios can be a threat but Giratina is much more threatening
It was rough finding a deck I actually enjoyed playing
Getting hundreds of dust for promo dupes feels good
>>58216420I'm using this one but I don't know if I'll reach MB
>>58216417Yeah latios is a 110hp tank with free retreat if latias is on the bench. The 120 damage is useful its won me some games. Im just glad i found a tanky fun deck, everything else is so aggressive and first hand reliant.
8939503064986416GA Charizard for Charizard/GA Gardevoir for GardevoirOr 2 Feraligatr for Feraligatr I wanna finish this stupid missions and have 2 stamina
Whats stopping amphy from being solid? 120 for 2 energy seems pretty good.
>>58216656Stage 2
>>58216656>stage 2>coin flip attack that can backfire>2 retreat costgarbage card
>>58216656>120 HALF the time>The other half it becomes a 130 HP Stage 2
Anyone tried Giratina with Cursola and Morty? Feels like it would be spicy
what's a good alolan exeggutor deck? I was thinking of a pure psychic deck with sylveon and leafeon
>>58214161>Cynthia's granny in TCGPWill TCGP ever give us any more non-obvious game NPCs cards?The Supporters we've had so far are mostly shill characters or disgusting shit OCs.
>>58216764We've also had fisher and hiker.
>>58216764the team grunts are alright
No, OK ,listen.Rainbow border.... supporter.
>>58216807People will definitely chase
>>58216801Boring. Fisher (this very design) even had a physical card in the past.
>>58216417>>58216353>>58215981It does my heart good to know the Eon Duo are good on this meta, was worried they wouldn't cut it.
>decide to use owl ex + claydol shitbrew>turn on auto battle for zoroark>ai puts leaf cape on baltoyWhat in the
>>58216908They're okSadly it's another flavor of Giratina
add a second ranked that excludes anything above 3 diamond. it would fix the entire game. imagine going into ranked and not seeing a single faggot darkrai or oricorio. imagine all the brews and pokemon that will never see the light of day. dena and paypigs are literal subhumans.
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.
>>58214862Post FC, familia, I can do a bro a solid. Just drop me a Pikachu
>>58217018You'd just see Silvally.
>>58217018no ex meta was ruined the day they added silvally and rare candy for rampardos
>>58216095>ditch game>still in threadmental
I've still only gotten 2 ex cards from this set.
>>58217094/vp/ is filled with autists who are obsessed with Pokemon as it exists in their head and not Pokemon as it exists these people just stay here screaming like demons in hell. They could leave whenever they want but they’d have to accept Pokemon isn’t real.
Does anyone play in the vp meta
so why don't we have typhlosion ex the crocodile ex and the plant ex
>got FA Fisherman in Lugia pack>now FA Hiker in Ho-oh packI'm no waifu chaser but I wouldn't mind as much if these weren't worthless cards
>>58217018You wouldn't see any of the 1* Oricorio with this format, but you would see the 3 diamond version. I'm not sure how your structure saves you from Oricorio other than its ability becoming useless
bros... my first godpack after 5k cards.....f2p, been opening lugia packs trying to get the shiny gyarados for the emblem, already had 3 of these cards... I now have 3 shiny nidorina.... it's so freaking over....
>>58217143uhm espeon and umbreon made more money for tpc chuddieunironically though they better be in the next set
>>58217168Play Dugtrio
>>58217172no one would run it though
>>58215874can you post deck list
I finally got a damm "god" pack and it's this shit. Why are shinies even in this game?
>>58215874I've been using latios and togekiss/Cynthia
>>58217194RIP bro.The worst part is that if you post that to r*ddit you'll have retarded bootlickers telling you it's a great godpack because you got 2 "new" cards.
I need to update this deck, Oricorio hard counters this completely. Anyone got good suggestions for a secondary damage dealer? I guess it should be a basic ice type.
SOMEONE POST LATIOS DECK
WaitSabrina is a useless card now right? There's no reason to use her over Repel
any new code for september?
>>58217675Repel only works on basics
>>58217665Greninja
>>58217675Repels aren't gorgeous women who can use psychic powers to dominate my mind so you're wrong
>>58217675Read the description of repel and come back.
>>58217666this has been very consistent
>>58217675Repel is for basics only, it's excellent in the current meta only because basic EXs are all over the place, but back when candy came out it would have been useless.
FUCKING HATE SHINIES. USELESS SHIT WASTE OF SPACE
>>58217595That sounds interesting
>11k cards>No godpack>Not a single crown
>>58217812Same. We should be able to trade them for vouchers or something that can give us actual shit. What I'm supposed to do with three shiny golduck
>>58217801Why the red card?
>>58217839With my playset of shiny magicarp and shiny gyarados non-ex, at least I can make opponents seethe
>>58217841It's a swappable but it's been clutch at breaking early momentum
>>58217846I've been using memory light with Gyarados and null dmg karp and it's been dc'ing nonstop lol the king is back
>>58217979what's magikarp do?
>1 week later>8 failed wonderpicksi finally have a 2nd suicune!!!! WOOHOOO!!
Its so funny that thr bad MU for latios latias ends up being dragonite. I am 0-3 against it so far.
>>58218008Leaping 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
>>58217665I looked into your plight, and my thought process brought me here.
>>58218041what is ur deck
>>58218071
Which side are you on for killing oricorio
>>58218088Why the Memory Light on Relicanth?
>>58218097idk I cropped the image from google
>>58218088Greninja
>>58218088Komala has more of a downside but is arguably more useful vs non-oricorioRelicanth is more unique and needs love
suicune is very fun to play
top flareon deck on limitless has 1 baby flareon, with 2 repelrepel/sabrina seems better to me but anyway i dont know if getting rid of 2nd baby flareon is worth it..
>>58218223Does one really "play" suicune, the deck basically plays itself.
>>58218223Defeating Suicune is fun
How the FUCK do I set up a Fighting deck that can beat the Latios and Latias deckHoly FUCKING shitEvery single strategy I try gets completely shit on by this garbage deckLatias 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 sweepsIf 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
>>58218599Donphan
>>58218608I only have one Donphan EX
>>58218599Weird request desu , do you expect people to actually have a fighting deck that does well into a type strong against it?
>>58218685That is literally one of the battle tasks in the single player battles dudeDo you even play the game
>>58218736Oh I thought you meant the deck in competitive.Pretty easy one actually because fighting card type weakness are split between psychic and grass. So just get stuff that is weak to grass lol.
>only have 1 latias when i wanna play the deck>not worth spending pack points onahhh
>>58218768 by the pass and get the promo
>>58218599Hitmontop and MarshadowMaybe Tyrogue is useful, but I didn't have the card yet when I beat the mission
Is there any more hidden queues like one for only shitmon/pack filler decks? they need some love too
>>58218774thats the card i own
>>58218777What were the other cards in your deck
>>58218599New Dugtrio.
>>58218857
>>58218599Bro just lickylickytina
One year later I am forgotten
>>58218915Yes, 3 energy is too much. Also if you lead with it GG.
>>58218915I might try it in a Ho-Oh deck with Red>>58218930Lyra and Ilima might not make it a death sentence
>>58218915doesn't do enough damage
>>58218915Way 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 SilvallyIt seems like the play is to not make countermeta decks, but rather counter algorithm decks
>>58219012Grass 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 rowthis is the worst season in pocket yet i think
>>58219080Because 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.
>>58219116I 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 Gruntwhat a shit card man lol
>>58219080It'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 lulBut also it counts as energy disruption too, in just one turn so many factors go your opponents way for 0 cost
>>58217572To 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.
>>58218599Bro, your Garchomp and Rampardos?
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.
>>58219189I 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
>went six weeks without pulling a 2star card>pull 3 in three daysRNG is weird like that
>>58219116They added babies and made Giratina to make going first suck less. Fuck you if you don't use them, I guess. Or any deck without an insane draw engine.
>greninja's ability costs 1 water energy to use>Darkrai cannot attack or switch out on a turn during which it's ability activated>you get 1 energy when going 1st, but cannot attack and cannot use trainer cards, only items>player who goes 2nd can attack but can also not use trainers on 1st turnThere, game's biggest issues are all fixed.
>>58219276just add an ex that prevents all damage that is caused by abilitiesBOOM, I just fixed your game
So megas are just gonna kill the game right. How do you kill this when its holding a giant cape backed by 2 lillies
>>58219281Megas might make the game more fun and not make everything a 1 shot war / 2 shot with cyrus war
>>58219281>you can get ass raped by 140 damage on turn 3Honestly thats just too funny. In very lucky circumstances you can occasionally do this with arceus in electric decks.
>>58219299Flareon can do 170 damage turn 3 best case scenario, is that the max?
>>58219281Hit it with Celebi's devolution spray
>>58219306Wait a minute, you might be onto something. This card might be the key
>>58219281Togekiss with cape and two cynthiasMight have to try comfey and revenge oricorio again
>>58219279It 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.
my god repel is so good for getting rid of babies / legendary dogs
>>58216410>wot if 18T but worseWow great deck FAGGOTThis fucking trash cost me a 10 win streak and nearly down ranked me before I rightfully broke some shit and quit.
>>58219304Lugia could do 200
>>58219306I 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?
>lost 2 games in a row because every single copy of Oak, sylveon, flareon (except 1 of each game 2)are at the bottom of my deck
>>582193551pt, it's the prevo that gets KOed
>game gives you a mirror match which almost never happens but is preferable to being assraped by your counter all the time>lose anyway because you had to go firstTHISGAMEIS DONKEYSHIT
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.
>>58218088Zangoose
>>58219370The 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
>>58219370Nope, 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
>>58219388I 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
>try retarded Egg deck>run into some nigga running Zapdos EX and Jolteon like it's 2024 but with Will >can't draw my own Will >dude thinks A-Exegg is an EX and uses Red >somehow nigga still gets 4 heads on his ZapdosI fucking hate this game honestly, I don't miss the coin flip simulator days at all.
>>58219281I sure fucking hope so
>>58218915Tauros walked so Sudowoodo could shit its pants, in which Meowscarada could run
can't tell if losing is due to law of averages or due to the game actually rigging your match ups / draws after a certain number of wins
>>58216410Yeah fuck you lying little faggot, this deck is shit encrusted asshole (just your type huh?).>bricks almost every game even if you do have Oaks>dies to literally any hand interruption>auto-lose if you don't draw Will>half the games you can't evolve>auto-lose if you go first>auto-lose to almost anything that isn't trash>EX is too fat to escape and also does no damage and ALSO wastes your Wills that would be better on Alolan>necklace thing is almost always pointless
>>58219432It 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.
Anyone have two extra Ho-oh ex? Can trade these goobers1811356412472911
>>58219343>>58219435(You)
>>582194803256-4716-5785-5203yep, give me wugtrio and pikachu
>>58219488Thanks
>>58219435Where did you learn to talk to other people like this? Seek help anon, it seems like you have a lot of issues
IMO this game is still quite fun but just needs more to it, more than just climbing a ladderI don't even know what it could be, maybe something that puts more emphasis on collectingMaybe 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 deckMaybe actual win streak rewards in ranked battles
>>58215613Speaking 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?
>>58219563I 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 goPersonally 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>TradeableNot yetMaybe in the futureAs 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
>>58219587I 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
>>58219647I 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
>>58219686You could try Pichu/Magby/Mantyke to help charge up Tinkaton a little faster + another random Steel/Colorless Pokemon to deal with Oricorio
Lucky shot, I've not seen a GP in ages.
>>58219732I've never seen or pulled one and I've been playing since day 1
Looks fun
>>58219746I like Glaceon ex but it's just poking for an extra 10-20 each turn while not being really sturdy itself
>>58219724Aight. Thinking of using normal Skarmory
>>58219751I dunno it's got potential Damage during the checkup step is honestly better than helmet or built in helmetBoat means free retreat so it can be built upBulkier then the other mons used for this purpose at this timeCan be healed by irida
God bless latios and latias, an actual f2p friendly deck in this shitstorm of a meta.
I dont know how else to explain it. This is the most “wow i hope he doesnt have that card in his hand” meta ive ever played. Its so hard to find safe lines and actually checkmate your opponent unless you’re a frog fucker player.
>>58219281My Xatu awaits.
>>58219281Squirt bottle, PoryZ, Oranguru
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
>>58219840I kinda like how it mimics behavior by newb players
Ive had 3 people forfeit on me because they dont know how baby umbreons ability works. This pokemon sucks, you just swap out and you can attack it.
Is there a single deck that benefits from going first?
>>58219281>only 2 energylol. Lmao
>>5822000218T giratina ex
>>58219840I had the AI on autoplay not even try to attack Zorua with giant cape, it just put the energy and passed it's turn.
>>58219762And can get fucked by EX Pokemon or Cyrus'd
>>58219586>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
>>58219779If you're playing psychic you can just run Morty to both know and decide exactly what the opponent draws
>>58220013Same as anything else in the deck yes
>did 5 wonder picks>got 5 peeks>got nothing I wantedAnd so continues my month long journey of getting nothing from wonder pick. Seriously, I think my account is bricked.
can't believe I have to spend money to continue tradingfuck this game seriously
>>58219840yeah feels like they made the AI more retarded so we're forced to actually play the boring single player gameswhy can't these nippons just make the single player events fucking FUN instead
>>58220032I 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>lose alot 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.
>>58220108pretty much sameI use a meta deck to gain some points then lose them all by playing homemade brews
>>58220102Suicune draws the whole deck anyway, wishing he doesn't have that card in hand is moot(that card, usually being Cyrus)
>>58220060You actually get things you care about during sneak peeks? Half of my WPs are old packs.
>>58220172I 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.
>>58220184The only ex I even have in my list right now is A-Dugtrio, and it's expired.
>>58220186Exs 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.
Can I get a meta grass team for this stupid solo event? I keep getting shit on.
>>58220247I just use Buzzwole.
>>58220254>>58220247seconding Buzz, bring Kartana to potentially 1-shot Zorua as well
>>58220261Yup. Just don't set up a bench right away in case the AI leads with Absol.
>found the same WP on 2/3 of my altsHuh. I wonder if it's going to be completely random, or if I'm going to absolutely get the same card on both accounts.
>>58220290So 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?
>>58220247I 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.
>>58220247buzzwole deck is good, and eggs without memory tool because it mindbreaks the AI for some reason
>>58220295the game decides what you get before making you pick. the opening packs/picking cards parts are purely visual
>>58220330If this is true then how does sneak peek work?
>>58220385You’re doing a 20% roll and a 25% roll?
>>58220385Obviously 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.
Do I even fucking bother? Last peek "event" I never once got it on a pick I spent stamina on/with a good card. And I'm not some gay haglover. Why don't any of the actual good Pokegirls show up, ever?
>>58220415Do it, just in case they ever allow 2* trading, you have something to trade for a pokegirl you like
>yeah my only Pokemon in play is gonna die if you get to attack again and I can't kill any of yours >and you just saw I only have useless cards in my hand since you played Silver>and you know I drew a pointless Potion since I just used it>BUUUUUUT I think I'll take 40 years to complete my turn that only involves attaching an energy and attacking for no reason instead of conceding >then I'll be sure to hit concede as soon as your turn starts :^)If you do this shit, you need to be dismembered and burned alive.
>>58220425>they ever allow 2* trading>she doesn't knowPFFFFT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH NO NO NO NO
>Manage to land Paralyze after they used both of 5heir PCL>JK LYRAWHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT THEN
>>58220452I don't know, and neither do you. But if they ever do, even if its for a limited time, its a 2* that can be traded for one that you like. If it isn't its a 2* eitherways, some people don't even get a 2* to show up during sneak peak for the whole event and bitch about it.
>>58220448If you're that tilted from it, your opponent may have lost the match but he won the game in my book
>>58220479>le tiltedYou're just as much a fag as these seething retards who ropeburn. In fact you probably are one. Speak English, you zoomer shit.
>>58220494anon, you might have anger issues
>>58220502>U-u mad!!!!Again, just shut the fuck up and kill yourself. You have no argument. You faggots don't always need to get the last word in, in fact it's embarrassing when you have nothing clever to say. Just shut up and know your place retard.
>>58220247I used solo two kartanas with the rest as supporters. Make sure you run beast wall
>>58220509you should watch your language, it's not nice to be hostile like that.
I hate when people offer you a card you don't have in your wish list when you initiate a trade with a card they DO have in their wishlists. Just terminate the trade, everyone understands that means "I don't have anything in your wishlists for this", nobody will get mad and delete your from the friend list.
>>58220532>uwu be fwendwyDo you faggots ever stop and think inwards? About how stupid you sound? About how gay you are?ShutThe fuck Up

Anyone got a Celesteela to trade? I only have one and wanted to make my UB deck more consistent. 5931010787580823
>>58220853I'll take a Victreebell or Kabutops if you have one
>>58220866I'll trade a tops, sure
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.
>>58220929That's how the real game works retard
>>58220929recover 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 tworecover on evolution though means early game status is fucking worthless since they just evolve and can start attacking again
>>58220958Again... 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
>>58220936The real game doesn't use 20 card decks or pocket's energy system so you can shove that retarded argument right up your ass.
>>58220999Stay mad scrub
>>58221003Is it true you're not paid at all to shill for the game? You really just do it for free?
>>58221024This rule has been in the game since before you were born kek
Stop avoiding me you bitch
>>58221034So 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!
>>58221091It's a different fucking game you Brian dead fucking nigger
>>58221189Clearly not :)

Why are there only STILL 20 deck slots?

>>58221353Samefag
>>58221639I want the last word, so kindly stop replying
>>58221641Top kek
>>58221629Your decision meant you lost. There was no urgency to ramp turn 1. I repeat my question.
>>58221650RNG 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.
