>>58220522this game SUCKS
>>58220522this game ROCKS
I want 2 of the new Altaria to finally make a full dragon deck but I have no luck getting it.
Is this a candidate for the worst card in the game? I've tried everything to make him work but it's godawful. You can't even pick which energy gets painted over so if even after all the effort to get him going, he can still shit himself.
>>58221120Still can't be worse than Triumphant Light Giratina
>>58221120ENTER
I feel that cards like Whitney which only work for specific mons should flat out be a Max Potion that heals said Pokemon back to full HP while curing them of statuses.That's the least they should be capable of for forcing you to play mediocre cards.
>>58221559Well, we have:>Heal 30 damage and recover from all conditions>Heal 40 damage from everything with a water energy on it>Heal 50 damage from a grass type>Heal 60 damage from a Stage 2 Pokemon>Heal 60 damage from Miltank and recover from all conditions>Fully heal a grass type, but remove all energies from itI dunno, seems fair. Basically any card that names specific Pokemon is bound to be gimmick shit that's designed for a specific iteration of Pokemon, or it kneecaps every proceeding iteration of that Pokemon just because the possibility exists.
>>58221559Whitney should have been the heal AND add another stack to Miltank's attack. That way, you at least have a chance to win going first.
>>58221120I like it
>opponent plays an absolute meme deck>still ragequitsWhy?
>>58222108Maybe he found a funny deck and decided to give it a try.So as he was heading towards his 10th consecutive loss he began to question his life choices.Maybe.
Darkrai is a nigger card for niggersThat is all
It has been over a week since I've seen an ex card.
>>58222506And I've only had 1 baby pack since the set's release.
>>58220522How good is poliwrath ex with lucario and mantyke? I would assume its an automatic loss if you start with mantyke and riolu sense you couldn't capitalize on the water energy Is there a better mon to pair with it?
>need 1 phero to have a chance of winning, just 1 and 1 attack>both pheros are the last 2 cards in deck>opponent uses Mars when I'm at 2 cards left>both Pheros are still bottom 2And I am supposed to look at crap like this or like Iono consistently giving you the exact same hand back in the same exact order and not think the game is rigged and bricks you via algorithm.
Ho-Oh faded pretty quickly lmao
>>58222548>Slow ramp deck that requires a benchSuicune eats him for breakfast.
>>58222520x1 elemental switch to move your misplaced water
Is Cyrus the most humiliating card in this game? You retreat hoping to stall a bit or to maybe bring in a new attacker to turn the match, and then Cyrus just drags that mon back out without you being able to do anything about it.
>>58222696It doesn't help that his default expression is stern stoicism while your limping Pokemon gets pushed back into the line of fire
I am trying to make a dragon only brew, ignore the erikas, they are placeholders because i don't have a single Altaria right now but what do you think?
>ramp attacks into me and dies>opponent has 3 points because of this>but he has nothing on bench>tieHold on, did they change how this works? because last time I played rampardos and got 3 points but it killed itself with nothing on the bench it was an auto defeat
>>58222773Add in non-ex giratina if you are gonna meme.
>>58222696I remember Cyrus being released and us mocking cowards who retreated. Good times.
>>58222806It uses grass energy so it wouldn't work.
>>58222773I don't really see what Altaria is doing that the other dragons wouldn't do better. I'd raather build Garchomp, Dragonite, or even Kommo-o as the main line since they all need 2 different energies to be functional. Drampa might be useful, if only because it can also function without having different energies on it.
i'm so tired of suicune greninja. it's all anyone plays now. i don't want to play anymore because it's the same lazy strategy every time.
>>58222869It's not even a particularly fun deck to counter either. No fun bench building strats without the bird.
Irida has always been this insanely broken card, we are now only remembering because water has a good deck again.
>>58222817Retreating is actually less valuable now because of Cyrus. Most of the time now you don't retreat to save a Pokemon but you retreat instead to attack with another
>80 damage to giratina
>>58222939>Erika heals 50 to a single Grass-type Pokemon>Iridia heals 40 to EVERY Pokemon you have that has a Water energy on itIs Water just bad in the regular TCG? I don't get why they would make it so strong. It's that, plus Misty that can straight up let you win turn 1.
What is it?
>>58222997poliwrath
Not unhappy because it's a beautiful card
>>58222997Crobat
>for some reason even I don't know I decide to inflict myself with the CBT that is going from UB1 to MBIf they hadn't implemented streaks in UB I would have stopped, they made it far less painful than last time I went MB. Started Sylveon/Espeon with a side of Oricorio/Sylvaly, but the one who brought it in and that I was using most in UB3/4 was Buzz/mosa. It was also the most fun in general so if you're looking for a deck to run try that one.
>>58223050I used my eggs deck to get to Master Ball but when I posted it the schizo got mad
>>58222987Don’t forget it has fisherman and the net item and for teamates it has fucking Greninja and now Mantyke and goddamn Suicune Ex
>>58221275Wow thats awful
please, god, i just want to rank up, quit constantly putting me on the edge, i'm so tired of suicune-greninja-tina decks
>>58223050Yep, Grass Beasts last season was the most fun for me since Arceus + Mew
>>58222758>while your limping Pokemon gets pushed backNot pushed back. Dragged back.
>>58223134Odd comment. This guy's a streamer. He's supposed to make meme decks and get wins with unorthodox builds. What's the point in watching someone just play the same metadeck you find in world championships and top of regional tournies?
>>58223221I had a streak going, then a tie killed my streak, meaning my next victory left me at 1 point from MB. That was immediately followed by 2 matches with bricked hands vs guys with perfect combo hands that were unaffected by red card/Mars, all while going first every time.
>Failed a Whitney WPPainful
>>58223486The sad thing is I'm jealous of you even seeing a Whitney WP to fail. I'm sure I won't even see a single 2 star this whole week.This game is ass. And they know it too, which is why they're planning that big player retention update.
>>58223564Any news on this?
why did they make latias and latios garbage?
Does this have any potential
>>58223622It's a 3-energy 50-90 attack most of the timeIronically it's the one that has the heavy retreat cost it wishes most of its opponents would also have
>>58223626Sad he's one of my favorites but neither of his versions are good
>>58223661surely his ex will be good
>>58222506Same. I only have 1 legendary Beast card (Entei), and I've never seen Suicune in WP. This is easily the worst expansion for me in terms of luck.
>successfully wp FA SilverNow what do I do with my pack points? I'm close to 1250 and was planning to buy FA Silver. I suppose I could get a playset if I wanted. I already have a playset of FA Will and I'm not interested in the women of these packs. Silver was in my usual wp spot and sneak peek activated. The same happened last month with one of the Wills
I can't believe I got all 3 dogs on cliffs from the set.
>finally get a wp worth trying>sneak peek doesn't activatethis is such a dogshit mechanic holy shit
Just got this bad boy from Wonder Pick
I got a 2* Suicune yesterday and the immersive one today. The game is telling me to play a Suicune/Greninja deck, isn't it?
>>58223134I used the version with pupitar, 70 damage and -20 damage for 2 energy is one hell of a drug.
>>58223785Not a single 4star in my WP page, when is rape justified? Because i feel fucking molested
I was pretty lucky with this set, getting doubles of all the ex and 3 diamonds I wanted by 210 pack points but the only rarer than 1-star card I pulled was a shiny Clodsire
>alakazam has an IQ of over 5000yeah right
neat
>>58223729I can't play a single new deck, either. For how many common packs I get, I'm still missing Whitney and Memory Light.
This is the worst meta of all time. Literally every deck is suicune, the only variation is what combination of greninja, prismarina, or giratina they're running
>>58224217Yeah, well deal with it chud.They clearly didn't care about this month, the most important is coming up in fall. Hopefully we get Mega set next month. If not mistake it will be the 1 year anniversary. 3 new sets... shit gonna go crazy
Got a second Gyarados EX from wonder pick, what's the brew that uses Eternal Light?
>>58224305Eternal cope
Where did you get your friends from that you see 2* WPs frequently? I've been playing since day 1 and have seen extremely few of those and for that matter have only ever seen a single god pack WP (which gave me the 1 card I already had).
>>58224312When i get 2* they dont even show up on my friends WP. Those were single pulls too
>>58224312My friend got a 2* Gallade pull that showed up in my WP the other day. Let him pick the slot and flunked it though
>>58224312Same. I rarely see anything better than an art card or regular ex. Never seen 2* or a god pack really
>>58220522Is there a reason why we don't use Pokemon Meta? I'm gonna keep it a bean: the one in the OP sucks balls.
>>58224404I have trouble finding deck lists on this website
If going through the bullshit suicune meta every game wasn't enough, nobody is sending thanks eitherFuck this shit, I'm waiting for october
>>58223564>which is why they're planning that big player retention update.What player retention update? "Keep playing our game or we will AI generate a video of John Pikachu raping your favorite Pokemon and email it to you"?
>>58224217>This is the worst meta of all time.Shining Revelry was worse. "Darktina but it's also objectively the best deck in the format" was fucking miserable.
>>58224457Go to private rooms and enter the passcode "thanks"
>>58224503At least darktina doesn't also draw a free card on each turn, or hit you for guaranteed 60 min, 120 max on turn 4How do you play around a mon who charges faster, has more HP, and is almost certain to have an out in their hand?
>>58224512There are multiple counters to suicune right now.I understand that it's frustrating but the other Anon is correct, darktina was WAY worse than this and I don't miss it
>>58224499This one that was announced in a shareholders report.
>>58224519It would have been really funny if they counted chink bots in the "new user acquisition"
Wisdom of the sea and sky did me so dirty, I've pulled so many packs and I hardly got anything out of it Meanwhile the Eevee set loved me and gave me two immersive eever almost immediately I still don't have immersive Lugia or Ho-Oh
>>58224523Bold of you to assume they didn't
>>58224512Buzz deck wasn't doing bad against Suicune actually, so long as you don't brick, it can fuck them over quite well.
>>58224533What's "buzz deck"?
>>58224532It would explain why they have a steady surge of new users that abandon the game quickly.
>>58224536Buzzwhole
easy (f2p)I hate sets with more than one booster pack, I now have guardians AND wisdom in my backlog.
>>58224512Latias x Latios doing good against itMultiple electric brews doing good against it Exeggutor doing good against itSuicuines days are numbered, repel is already forcing the deck to alter its structure and run boat
>>58224546Alolan egg or ex egg?
>>58224548Both but mainly Alolan
>>58224552Did Memory Light really make it a non-meme deck finally?
>playing against Suicune deck>he's running primarina>I can kill cune next turn but only if he doesn't get Rina online and heals>he gets her online>does not heal>continues to not use the heal for like 2 turns, then resignsWtf? If it was in early ranks I'd assume it's some kid but this was in UB4.
>>58224556I mean whether it's a meme deck is kind of up to the eye of the beholder But it took me to master. Decklist is here.>>58223068Can't take credit for it it's been making the rounds lately but it actually works. Sometimes you brick but that's the same as any deck. Alolan eggs can hit so hard you end a lot of games before they start, you just need a little luck.The reason why it's good against Suicune is that you completely gimp their damage, at most you have only one Pokemon on the bench. I've been experimenting with swapping out one eggs ex with the celestic town elder to potentially have three Pokemon because realistically the reason you run for evos is just to ensure that you can Evo into something, but Alolan eggs is almost always preferable.
>WSS Togekiss, Cursola, Skarmory ex, etc>all newer cards with damage reduction abilities>still doesn't cover for non-battle damage when Greninja and Darkrai have been shitting up the meta for months
>>58224577The game still hasn't given me any memory light, so I'm SOL with that deck.
>2 mantykes in WP>first one doesn't even give me a sneak peak>second one does, but i still don't get itI'm getting real fed up with this set. I have never had luck so bad before. 2 ex cards, and a shitload of Altaria with basically nothing else.
>>58224857You can probably run it without memory light for now. I used to have a more memory light heavy list but it really is kind of a corner case. The leaf capes are honestly more useful
Finally a good sneak peak
>>58224872Based
>>58224505Nta, but...Recently, I've had to do at least 6 battles in "Thanks" to earn the 4 Thanks I need daily.Last week, the game paired me against the same person 5 times in a row, and they only gave me ONE thanks...
>>58224872okay I got greedy...
>>58224889It's sad when the pick starts revealing the cards and the one you want is the penultimate one.All that expectation building...
Is this the preferred Lati Twins deck
post your decks that made it to MB and aren't NPC-tier metafaggotry
>>58225122Define "NPC-tier metafaggotry". Because if by that you mean all semi-consistent decks that don't rely on specific gimmicks then good fucking luck with the climb. However if you just mean no darktina/suicune then a couple have already been posted ITT.
>>58225098Close enough
>>58225148I'm already in MB I'm just curious what others have used. And yeah I mean just not the cookie cutter shit people copy from limitlesstcg top 8s. I saw a guy use suicine+primarina which I thought was based
>>58225098Remove all the latis and 1 pokeball, add 2x Silver and another nurse and repel
There's an FA Morty in WP. Should I? I don't give a damn about him, but if trainers can be traded in the future, I might be able to get someone else
>>58225241I always go for the 2 stars in WP
>>58225241I would never NOT go for a 2 star card in WP, especially during a sneak peek event. I even go for cards I already haveCan someone please trade me a Ho-oh EX? Ask me for whatever you need and I’ll let you know if I have it 4860019518532731
There is a bug where Memory Light doesn't activate the effect of Starly's attack to remove the opponent's tool card. I submitted a support ticket and hopefully they fix it so I can Pluck my opponents to death.
Well shit, I guess I should be thankful.
Not to sound like a whiney faggot, but how is there not more uproar against this guzzlord deck? It is probably the most toxic deck in pocket history, total luck going against it. It does not matter how well you play, the coin flips determine literally everything when going up against it. Its so fucking stupid. It feels like 18t articuno all over again but way fucking better.
>>58225343>It does not matter how well you play, the coin flips determine literally everythingSounds like evey match regardless of decks
>>58225353Id rather shit be determined by hand draws and damage rather than fucking grindcore.
>>58225343I think people did bitch about it but that meta was defined mostly by Darktina and Buzzwole. Every Pocket deck until Darktina actually was literally coinflip shit. It sucked so much ass, just in a different way than braindead stuff like Darktina or drawyourwholedeckinoneturnlol like Psychic Eevees or Suicune.
>>58225358And I'd rather get a chance to play anything costing more than 2 energy without being nuked for 60+ by suicune and the frogs. Neither of us is getting what he wants
>>58225283You wouldn't be the firsthttps://x.com/PokemonTCGP/status/1963316070510412134?t=mv6RxQBNHURuMkhNwOINuA&s=19
>>58225168>Suicune/frog bad>exact same deck but you change frog for prima okAnon please.
>>58225343>Most toxic deck>Not DarktinaDon't care, lrn2gitgud retard
>>58225343It is very annoying indeed but it can brick easily and if it hits a counter like funny bird it has trouble getting around it while maintaining energy advantage, even with celesteela, plus if steela dies or is not on bench early enough then guzzlord is a sitting duck.
>>58225343yeah shits pretty tilting when niggers hit heads on every grindcore, at least pretty much every grass deck wipes the floor with it
>>58225438are you implying having two frogs on the bench isn't integral to what the deck is? remove that and it's completely different
play pichu+dragonite exmatchup agnostic - barney early = instant winlyra for surprise giga impact refreshesoneshot dumb yellow bird with dragonaireats major shit to slowking but barely anyone plays that so it's fine
>>58225488>putting stuff to your bench>in this economy
>>58225477You're still hitting the other guy for 60-120 woth 2 energies, drawing your entire fucking deck for free and with Prima you have extra heal vs frog's extra gamage, with tina still charging in the back, or gyarados, or whatever else you wanna run.
>>58225272>>58225281I managed to got him. Neat
>>58222773Finally got my Altarias, change it a little and is pretty good so far but so far I haven't use the elemental tubes once, for what I should change them?
hmm
>>58225632im too good
Suicune ruined ranked, they basically just shoved in a deck into the fucking game that has a damn near perfect MU spread i to everything except 2 decks. Deck might have been balanced if giratina faggotry didnt exist, it gets a free finisher to stall with and 2 iridas to remove all chip damage. Fuck this retarded game, it feels like 3 years worth of power creep in only 1.
>>58225567guzma and a leaf or x speed
This is an amusing troll deck
This dragonite deck is fucking awful how is anyone playing this garbage? So many “good decks” that are actually bad and just rely on a good starting hand with zero flexibility. I cant believe this game just became highroll city.
Hear me out
>>58226041What exactly is your goal? If you want energy to fuel Smeargle, a baby will supply it easier, and you don't have to use any on retreat costs. And if the enemy doesn't care that much about energy colors, then you just die.
Can someone conform this? If the card you see with the sneak preview is the same one that was there before the "shuffle", that means all the cards are in their original positions?
>>58226077*confirm
>>58226077it's random the moment you click accept for sneak peak it randomizes twice
>>58226084I want to believe that but the fact a FA whitney was IN THE SAME SLOT she was before the shuffle and that I could have gotten her if I trusted the evidence with the preview card being the same card from before the shuffle goves me despair, seriously, i feel extremely down.
>dont get a good hand turn 1>losePocket has evolved into such a sad game.
>get a good hand turn 1>winPocket has evolved into such an awesome game.
>>58226010lookin good
Does anyone know at what MB score you get a rank? Also I imagine that no matter your rank you still get demoted to UB4, right?
>>58226265usually it's around 2400 ish
What is a "high roll" deck?
>>58226278Then I'm not even trying it, plus I think the number makes the emblem look ugly, do you get the clean version as well?
monke
>>58226092The game does this purposefully to inflict pain on you and encourage you to try again.At some point, you'll try with a lower-cost or less-desirable card, and it will work. Then, when you try again with a card you really want, you fail. Or not.You'll never know for sure.They want you to feel the doubt.
>>58221275i actually used ditto briefly as a one-off during the silvally rampardos meta that lasted like a weeksince 90% of people on the ladder were running it, it was basically a 1 energy basic rampardos and i won so many games just dropping it and revenge-killing their rampardoshit master and everythingi might have been a silvally rampardos player myself but at least i was trying to innovate yknow
Where were you when she saved the meta?
>>58226404high roll decks are basically decks that rely mostly on good early-game luck to achieve victory, so in pocket it'd be something like stokezard. if you go first, rare candy into zard turn 3 and stoke, you win outright against the majority of decks. if not, you're looking at an uphill battle you're probably not going to win.
>>58226676whats the brew
>>58226656Actually incredibly based
>>58226681
>>58225343Darktina and Solgaleo are just too stupid broken
I quite enjoy this deck, still need Mantyke to truly finish it though
>>58226734Where would you add mantyke?
>>58226734Only one dewpider? Seems like you need 2
Best Malamar deck for your favorite friend Malamar?
>>58226747Remove Manaphy for it>>58226761I usually gamble on the Pokeballs
>>58226792But... You're running suicune... You benefit from a full bench
>>58226794I just use fishing net if someone dies
>try to brew >raped by the 5th suicune deckatleast you cant derank i guess. Rare candy was a mistake

>>58226902Blame the the devs for giving 80 different fucking ways to ramp Grass EXECPT directlyI feel you though man, buncha cocksuckers
>>58226926Scizor's actually somewhat usable at least thanks to the lower retreat and attack costs
>>58226404For this game its decks that rely on 1 energy stage 2 mons
>Gyarados AGAINFor fuck's sake can this stupid ugly fucking thing just die already? I dunno if it or Zard are more annoying when it comes to gen 1 mon they just cannot stop shoving into everything.
Was all the energy generation we got a mistake? There is no early/mid/late game anymore. Like whats the point of cards like GA charizard anymore, they served a purpose but now they are pointless
>>58226960Darktina happened
>>58226960my STS Porygon-Z deck gets worse every new set as the meta has shifted into low 1-2 energy attackers or energy rampers that don't care about the energy pool switching gimmick

>>58227146consistency yes, but it still needs 3 energy>>58227133just the standard dialga ex porygon-z build but replaced one of the dialga with 2 pichu. Just kept a Dialga in since it does have a 100 attack and can be boosted by the Pichus too
>>58223612This also upset me and is the reason I'm not bothering to subscribe this month. At least the pixie trio with shaymin was fun to play before they were powercrept. The power creep is so bad right now that Latios and Latias are dead on arrival.
>>58226690>they need Giratina ExPain, not because I don't have it, I do, but that sucks they need it and aren't good on their own.
>>58227302dunking on darktina players with a lucky mesprit start was fun in SRespeciallysadly that was the last set lake trio was remotely viable, CG brought in rare candy so every deck could stomach supreme blast
>>58227328Retarded take desu
>>58227328Name a single deck right now that can take a supreme blastAnd if you say "cape" I'm going to say "red"
>>58227302>dead on arrivalThey're literally in a master rank deck
>>58227351it's unviable now for different reasonsCG was a slower meta where everything was a stage 2 with capenowadays it's unviable because every single goddamn deck can fucking oneshot the pixies turn 3 so you get at most one supreme blast off before you get rolledi don't know why this is even an argument people are having, the deck is literally fucking unplayable there's not a single deck in the top 50 on limitless it does well into
