>rare candies into stokezard turn 3>puts the energy on charmander insteadonly the best plays from our beloved AI
>>58543499You can only use straightforward decks with AI
>leave megas to me
>>58543505i thought stokezard was as linear and straightforward as it gets but apparently putting an energy on your active is too complex for the autobattle AI
>>58543505I've seen it put an energy on benched cuno while the active one only has 2 energy on it.
>>58543492MAMOCHADS RISE UP
Looking for:Deluxe EX LusamineMayCopycatOffering:Anything shown here.
Hmmm Well I got a couple of Blaziken, Pinsir, and GyaradosOut of these 3, Gyarados seems the most fun to build and actually play, Blaziken seems a bit too braindeadCould use pack points for 2nd Gyara copy but I wanna Paypig for a 10 pull.....(after clearing solo missions i guess)Also got Absol and Ampharos but meh
>>58543542Would cough up my Hala for the Crab
>after the update the app has been running slow on my phone>earlier when I was looking to share a card with someone, the app froze up>has functionally locked my phone entirely>tried restarting my phone, its been on the start-up screen for 3 hours nowWelp. If I have to get a new phone and lost my account, I guess thats it.Sayonara pokemon pocket.
>>58543514>>58543526The AI retracted to the bench even though he could have just won the entire thing if he attacked. Whoever coded this shit is fucking retarded.
>>58543569if you linked it to your nintendo account or a google account or whatever, you can recover it
>>58543588I think I had connected it to my nintendo account, and I received the hourglasses for doing so but strangely the reward for connecting it to a nintendo account still said I could complete it so whether or not it actually connected properly, I have no idea.I hate phones with a fuckin' passion mang.
>cynthia is popular>check pokehub>people are offering yanmegasdamn no one wants this ugly bitch
>>58543569What phone?
>>58543601such is the fate of all supporters that only affect a few specific cardseven if they're good to start with they inevitably become powercrept and then nobody wants them except a few dedicated waifufags, so the supply is much greater than the demand
>>58543578autobattle requires one of the most retarded skills any person could have: "do i need to turn off auto and pilot it myself now because the AI might do some random shit and lose for no reason"
>>58543532Kek>>58543423>>58543601>>58543623If she worked on Garchomp EX maybe..
Anyone got a shiny Mankey they're willing to trade?
>>58543653You got an Oricorio or Charmander?
>got lapras ex>got cresselia ex>got playsets of sing jigglypuff, reckless charge mankey, and tackle snivyglad they did this promo rerun eventeven if i'm never going to use these outside of messing around in solo battles it's still nice to have themgonna make a cliff crumber dugtrio deck with the fight back primeape
>>58543655I got Charmander yea. 6674585431729738
>>58543663actually speaking of mankey, annihilape when?
>people are running the 50 hp eevee since it's searchable with lisia>50 hp puts it in kill range of a turn 1 tyrogue + gioit doesn't happen often but when it does it's fucking funny
>>58543703Just use Hitmonchan blud
Fuck Blaziken. 140 damage for 2 energy and he can hit two turns in a row is fucking bullshit. Even if Flame Patch is annoying as shit if it was at least discard all energy it wouldn't be as bad.
>>58543712hitmonchan needs an energy though, so they have the opportunity to cape it, draw other pokemon, or whatevertyrogue smacks it on turn 1 before they can play a single card
Okay, the hype for trading is already dead. Everyone is a faggot who is offering yanmegas and requesting oaks. No reasonable trades, just min maxing bullshit, people would probably ask for money if they could. Im glad i did it early when people were actually focused on trading favorites. It does feel like shit when you pull bad 2 stars now tho, i got a hiker the other day and trading made it more useless somehow.
>Someone actually wanted MarowakKEK
I got a Mega Gyarados EX if someone wants to trade an Altaria EX for it.
>>58543749Blame the sneakerheads. They moved into physical Pokemon TCG and started becoming vendors, where they buy or trade for your stuff at 50%-80% of what it's worth, while charging 10%-30% above market for whatever they have. That's why you have people requesting 2:1 trades for Oak, or trying to trade their Looker, or as you said, Yanmega for Sabrina or Cyrus (Looker is a based guy, but not when he's used like this.) It's all their fault.
>>58543749stop using poketrade, it fucking sucks dick
>>58540298Still up for Rainbow Decidueye for Rainbow Primarina btw7457-9538-8438-6472
>looks who wants Fisher>Marowak>LockerUghh
so out of these 3 new packs, which should be the focus to open?
i love trading. here's my humble collection. i don't even know what i want. just show me yours and let's talk.
>>58543507there will never be a psychic type with an ability that can spread burns/poison thanks to this card
>>58543881This is what's up for trade????
Sooo is this shit? A worse version of Ultra Thrusters & no pings is looking pretty grim
>>58543796this will be my reaction if I can find someone to take this fat fuck sophocles
How do i craft cards into shinedust? I need 25k to trade
>>58543814name an alternative that doesn't
>>58543884yes but of course i would have to evaluate the offers. why? i have no affinity to most of these as the last games i played were b/w and i only play for the meta. i'm not a collector.i'm looking for a mars and oak.
>>58543900I don't think you can do that.
>>58543881One Moltres Rainbow artOne rainbow InceneroarDeluxe CharizardThank you, pick one of your chosing. Be quick though it's in very high demand.
>>58543906FUCKits going to take me years before i get enough
>>58543907Good luck trying to exchange those, kek.
I am trying to make a deck that set up ASAP to counter the equally fast as fuck expert mega decks. i have this but gets bricked easily, any suggestions?
>>58543918>he tried to reroll farmKek
>>58543888you can slot it in a typical Greninja deck as a way to better deal with stuff that Suicune or Gira couldn't surviveie 2 Gren, 2 Froakie, 2 Suicune ex, 1 Gira ex, 1 Gren exit's basically an alt Oricorio kind of; can attack exs easier but isn't completely immortal against them like Ori
>>58543888it's better than ultra thrusters (any water mon instead of only ultra beasts), good HP for pivoting and a solid attacknot sure if it's good enough despite all that though. it's awkward because it's on a stage 2 EX and celesteela was good because it was a basic
Im starting to regret trading my FA May for Copycat I figured copycat was more competitively viable since May doesnt work with 0 pokemon in hand
>can't name my Mega Ampharos EX deck "Mega Ampharos EX Deck"I saw a guy name Richard Stroker, but I can't use the factual name of a Pokemon card.
I have 2 M-Gayrados, what's the best deck with her?
>>58543924Change PokeComms for May, it's strictly better even if you only have 1 pokemon in hand because you still pull two and can choose what to throw back into the deck. I don't think you need to worry about bricking your starting mon since that's always going to be Phanpy so I'd change that leaf for Iono maybe.
>>58543818Hi! Yes, to you and the other anon: I ran out of Stamina and trade tokens trading my brother. Can I get back to you tomorrow?
>>58543945Manaphy, mantyke, magikarp that evolves when attacking and 2 energy baby gyarados
>>58543945Pretty much the expert deck and a Lisia.
>>58543951What I get bricked of are the resources for setting Rhampados or the fucking stone helmets, several times i could have won if the fucking thing showed early. Also I don't have a may yet, gonna get one.
>>58543954Sure, I'm still recovering stam as well. I'll reply again in the latest thread
>>58543955>magikarp that evolves when attackingAssuming that's the new one? Don't have it yet, and disappointed that Mega doesn't work with the discard baby Gyara but I figured it didn't. Also does anyone need or want 1* Rillaboom? I've pulled these ugly fags in three straight packs.
My trading results for today and trust me, I only traded absolute wank.Basic Melmetal 2 stars for rainbow PikachuEquipmemt support girl for Entei ranbow
>>58543940>Valuing FA's for their utility and not because they're your waifu/husbando
>>58543969You use the baby gyarados to discard the mega gyarados when it becomes too low on hp so you don't have to worry about your opponent using Cyrus on it later
>>58543976Now imagine being an unlucky fuck who only pulls ugly m*le 2 stars that don't even do anything
>>58543973Where did you find said generous retards?
>>58543976Yes? I mean obviously. That seems like a no brainer for me. Thats why Oak is the most requested card in existence
>>58543980>You use the baby gyarados to discard the mega gyarados when it becomes too low on hpnever thought about that, kinda clever
>megas are just beefed up stage 2s instead of essentially being stage 3 like the gamesWtf
>Try Mamoswine deck >First opponent Team Rockets me with 6 headsExperiment over.
>>58543994They started off as stage 3s in regular TCG, but to reach it was too slow. So now we got this.
Absol/Oricorio is such a stupid fucking deck. Somehow, Oricorio is the workhorse there.
>>58543999brew?
>>58543994It was too slow so they made them stage 2, the TCG is real life also did this.
>>58543894I pulled 2 of him, and now I want to hold onto the playset even though he will never be good.
>>58543999Yeah because of Oricorio fatigue I see a shit ton of Absol/Tyrogue decks now.
>>58544002It's been placing well in tournaments. I dropped a Red Card in favor of Copycat.
>>58543998>>58543994Not exactly. Back then all Exes were Basic, so Megas were all the same as Stage 1.https://pkmncards.com/card/altaria-ex-fates-collide-fco-83/https://pkmncards.com/card/m-altaria-ex-fates-collide-fco-69/Also, your turn ended when you Mega Evolved, unless you had a Mega Link (tool card) equipped.
>>58543894Me, holy fuckPlease someone take itI would even trade it for a meta planeta at this point I hate him so much it's unreal
>>58543901pokehub at least doesn't make you put all your cards into one big lump and then ping you every time some schmuck offers garbage for your valuable cards
>>58543894Play this!
>>58544013I too would like to get rid of Sophocles.
>>58544010how does it work? still missing mega absol to run it
>>58544010I beat this deck a few times in ranked with BlazikenM
>>58544023You use Pichu to give energy to an Oricorio ASAP, then set up Absol and use that to attach. When you get Darkrai, feed that energy too.
>>58544010This shit gets assraped by Joltina
>>58543945>herum akshually all magikarp in game are male with the exception of A1a which is NOT the main magikarp used since B1 is better
>>58544024damn, BlazikenM decks are so strong they're already in ranked
i think darktina actually just sucks shit nowran it in randoms and got beaten by mega absol on its own
>new 200 men tourney>Mega Gyarados no longer sees any usage.Owari da, Vp was right
>>58543542still want the rainbow espeon? i would do it for that mars
>>58544043Darkrai pumped and dumped Giratina-chan and is now fucking hot Absol pussy, running trains on her with Hydreigon. Thankfully Greninja-kun's tongue game is still on point so Giratina-chan isn't all that upset. Just a little.
>>58544043Fucked up that they powercreep the historically best deck in the game just after giving them shinies.
>>58544043every deck packing fat mons that darktina can't oneshot even with their fuckass combo means the deck is floundering. good riddance.
Anyone want to trade Mega Ampharos for this?
>>58544062they're not really powercrept since they both have places in top meta decks right now. they just don't work together anymore.
Updated since a few threads ago. Please and thanks!8485444329968629
>>58544062You can use girantina with darkrai in a Batceus deck, but Darkrai will just be a tech card there.
>>58544045i was saying from the start that mega gyarados was basically just gyarados ex, and gyarados ex sucks at this point in the game. 30 extra hp was never going to save it.
>>58544045Shameful display!
Looking for:>M-Gyarados EX (FA only)>M-Blaziken EX (regular or FA)>May FA or Lisia FA>Hydreigon FA>Jellicent FA>Pyukumuku FA... or regular Hydreigon/Jellicent/Carracosta if I can meet your requirements.
>>58544073I can give you regular non rainbow 2 star leafeon for either del char or Moltres
>>58544094You cannot trade full arts those are 3 stars
>sitting here on my ass waiting for trade stamina so i can trade some fucking cards againdamn. 17 hours until i can attempt to trade for leaf.
>>58544106Immersive (3*) <> Full Art (2*)
>>58544112Right, I just call those rainbows.
>>58544112i know it technically doesn't apply in this case since gyarados only has one 2*, but when it comes to 2* usually people specify whether they're talking about rainbows or planetas to avoid confusion
People are building mega gyara really weirdly. Why not just clone the decks from shining revelry?
I feel like 140 damage isnt enough for mega gyara. Discard 3 cards is REALLY good but still, the damage isn’t oustanding for the energy cost. Mega blaziken does the same quicker, and potentially more if they fail the burn coin flip.
>>58544094Nobody will want to trade their full art mega gary for that sad selection of offerings
>>58544123because if that deck format was remotely playable people would still be playing it. mega gyarados isn't different enough from the regular ex to make a difference there.
>shinies are now bonus cards like the baby Pokemon>god packs no longer have shiniesHuh, neat.
>>58544143Only from set B to forward.
>>58544100Sorry, I have one rainbow leafeon already and want them to match
>>58544136It's a long shot, but the 1 stars are a priority for me
>>58544133Not really one to one comparable cause Blaziken needs the candy which does add more to get going. Mantyke can get it going pretty quick and the small pokemon being searchable with May is pretty nice for consistency.
Is it me or are stage 2 ex pokemon now completely obsolete, like totally worthless unless their name is GA charizard or EX dragonite.
>>58544133yet another case of damage being the only attack effect that actually matters. blaziken is 140 for 2, altaria is 130 for 2, ampharos is 160 split for 3. 140 for 4 energy is just flat out not good in comparison.the discard effect is cool, but it's too slow to disrupt combos so you're basically just fishing to kill supporters unless your opponent is mega bricking. and if they are, you would've won anyway.
>>58544192they already were before this set, stokezard was barely relevant
>>58544192they've been obsolete for a while, none of them had good winrates last season either. they still got played because they were strong when they did go off so people had fun gambling, but the odds were pretty objectively stacked against you.
>>58544192technically stage 2 exs are the best they've been in a whileits just that they give an extra point because they're megas (and Greninja is there too I guess)
How do you deal with trade regret? I got a few better offers for stuff I dealt already.
>>58544222get drunk and jerk off
>>58544073Would you do Brock for Pokemon Center Lady?1078626082226880
>>58544222i just don't trade if it's not the card i want. offers and negotiating are for chumps, you WILL give me the exact card i want in the exact language i asked for, or i simply will not engage.
>>58544133Yeah, it's playable but it's definitely an uphill battle>you want Mantyke or Manaphy to ramp Gyarados>you DON'T want your fish to get FROGGED (most popular mon in the meta) so you better hurry up>you DON'T want your dragon to get BIRD UPPED (also very popular) so you need a birdkiller>the birdkiller makes it harder to get your already hard to get dragon>sufferingThe reward is just too small for how hard it is to get. 4 energy with no inherent ramp is simply too big of an ask, currently.
Should I always ask for a friend invite in battles?
If you're gonna metafag, do it in style
>>58544222how do you even regret a trade? are you just trading for cards you don't actually want?
>>58544249>what is jellicent
>>58544253>regular entei and flame patchPoorfag.
>>58544253>that CyrusOh no no no
>>58544253>no FA cyrus>no rainbow entei>no crown flame patchesyou are weak. you will not survive the winter.
>>58544222if you're trading for chase cards and not trying to treat it like some kind of economy you won't have any regrets.
>>58544259>evo ramplollmao
>>58544239I think I need to try to hold joy for something like irida or mars. Would you be willing to trade brock for something else?
>>58544273>complain about bird>2 stage evo>3 stage frog is most popular card in tcgps lifespan retard alert
>>58544259jellicent is shit. it can't ramp until your second turn, putting it behind both mantyke (which ramps on turn 1) and manaphy (which ramps 2 pokemon)investing energy in it for damage also results in you not actually ramping gyarados.
>>58544279retarded, blind, or both? i'm saying why gyarados suckstry out jellicent in your gyarados deck dumbfuck, tell me how it works out
>>58544253>no full art cyrusBetter start begging on disctroon lol
>People crying about M-Gyara >Not running both for versatilityKwab
>>58544305>people crying about my awesome GA Pinsir brew>they don't realize that I can win one (1) ranked battle with itKWAB
>>58544305Post da list
why is hydreigon so much better than like 90% of stage 2s (including exs)
how's your collection coming along, bros?things have worked out pretty nice for me so far
>>58544315same reason greninja isextremely powerful ability
Anyone got a grass deck for the MBlaziken challenge that isn't Mega Pinsir?
>>58544315because it's basically rampardos if he not a fossil
this guy BREWED
>>58544324I think Meowscarada Pheromosa is your best bet
>>58544276Unfortunately I think I have everything else in your pic already, except for Joy. I would've gone for Iono maybe but now that Copycat exists I could just use either or, or 1 of each.
>>58544324but i would say just play meowscarada + nonex celebi and hope for good rngrun helmet and redmeow kills entei after red or helmet chipand celebi oneshots a rare candied mega blaziken under the same circumstancesjust reset if the ai plays combuskentake this all with a grain of salt btw i don't bother with those lame challenges since they just amount to a lot of resetting for the perfect draws and i don't need more tickets
Is there a best item to get from the ticket shop? Or is it just whatever you vibe with I honestly kind of want Regi just because I always liked the memes even if he seems kinda fucked. Could probably make use out of heavy helmet though
I just realized that Rhampados hard counters megas because their high HP means Rhampados doesn't get the 50 hp self damage so if is a full heal then it can survive the mega next attack and then finish it up and win.
>>58544318considering making a brown boy collection, right now I've got Brock, Ilima, Kiawe and Traveling Merchant(?)Gonna try pull Marlon and trade for Hau at some point.
>>58544222I know how you feel. People in that fuckass trade discord are talking about doing 2:1 trades for Cyrus, and 3:1 trades for Oak. I can't believe I ripped myself off.
>>58544372Also of the mega is already damaged and can't survived Rhampados then is instant lost.
>>58544318Going pretty well, still need the new waifu cards of course
>>58543542Deluxe Lusamine for Mars1566430520317811
>>58544331Huh, wonder what his strat was.I was considering making a meme brew with Delcatty that could keep recycling itself with Ilima.
>>58544377>3:1 trades for oakholy kek lmaodo they ACTUALLY do this? i have no intention of scamming but i do have a spare oak and it would be funny to get three fucking cards for it
>>58544313It's pretty limited and I have some doubts about the trainer mix (two Misty tails is a waste), but Pyukumuku is excellent for getting Oricorios spooked, plus rocky helmet to undo any potion/Nurse hax. You'd be far better off with Lisia, and Irida might not even be necessary if Mega Gyara is your endgame
>>58544318I kinda want a Lisia but I doubt anyone would be willing to trade for what I have.
Definitely better versions of this deck but damn absol hydreigon is mad consistent
>>58544367what ticket shop has both heavy helmet and a regi?i'm lost
>people are using innocent professors as currencyI WONT STAND FOR THIS
>>58544373>someone who actually wants marloni'll keep you in mind if i pull a marlon on one of my altsmost of them have more shinedust than they'll ever be able to spend and marlon doesn't have much value as trade fodder so if i pull one i'd be happy to just give it to someone who actually wants itdid that with a galactic grunt already
idk if anyone cares, but holy shit the DX pack RUINED tradining for the short time it existed. Every retard is just demanding a professor oak, it's so gay. Reminds me of the GTS days in DS era pokemon. Other than that no one really makes resonable trades, like no one wants your Kiwae for a Irida/Leaf/Sabrina/Cyrus.
>Have two extra Oaks, enough to ask for anything in the game>Feel like they're so valuable that actually trading them for anything would be a waste
>>58544407It's unironically a waste when you know they'll shill Mega Charizard X/Y and M-Dragonite in the not-too-distant future. They might even redress the waifus for all we know (next year's delux Elesa)
why the fuck is professor oak the hottest prostitute on the block all of a sudden?
>>58544406if oak wasn't in the game it'd just be cyrus and sabrina instead. there's no getting around the fact that there are staples that fit into literally every deck, and the rarity of those cards makes the supply vastly outweighed by the demand.
>>58544398The promo cashin you get for doing the mission. It doesn't give the helmet, but the Helmet is now in the game and I got a copy of it from the current pack. Does that make sense now?
>>58544318It's getting there, can't wait to buy Mars with my pack points in 4 months
>>58544405based, I'll take you up on that if you ever get it, and if I don't get him myself since I'm probably pulling Mega Gyarados only for the next few months.I also want him for an eventual Water type specialist collection since I already have Misty/Irida/Lana.
>horsea with hook can kill chingling and other baby pokemon quick>rare candying into kingdra ex can cuck megas out of being able to retreat>having access to irida for healsam i brewing?
>>58544222I had someone on pokehub say their card was english but i didnt realize it was Chinese until after i completed it and ive been thinking about it all day
>>58544423oh don't spend the promo ticket on regigigas, most of the stuff in the promo shop is just reskins of existing cardsif you really want a regigigas just trade for one of the STS ones, they're the same card just with different artthe ticket is only really worth spending on the promo cards that have exclusive functionality or if you REALLY like the art and can't manage to pull two copies before the event ends
>>58544444Checked and witnessed, Kingdra stays number one
Has my boy Tauros EX broken into T0 yet?
>>58544438>missing the CG lilliepoor show desu
>>58544513>dude what if silvally was weaker and had recoil and was worth 2 points instead of 1i'm really sad they keep shitting on tauros like this
>>58544513EX Tarous is ridicously bad
Are Taurous, Melmetal, and Rapidash the obligatory garbage exs of their respective packs?
>>58544532Melmetal can do damage atleast, rapidash could have been released during ga and still not be played.
>>58544532>>58544538Melmetal is bad but not awful. I guess he is the worst of his pack though.Whimsicott and Hitmonchan are both worse than Melmetal I'd say.
>>58544532>tfw
>>58544554at least the full art is fucking awesome
>>58544532it's hard for me to call melmetal garbage. it at least does a lot of damage at 150 and has a secondary attack it can fall back on if it's forced out before it's ready.it's the worst in its pack but it's miles better than garbage like whimsicott, who only escapes "worst in the set" status because tauros exists.
>>58544525>>58544530Singles of Tauros and Altaria are the only EXes I have so far, and I don't read pack lists, so after looking at the Tauros card for a bit I was really dumbfounded by how shit it is. But still probably better than Dhelmise.
>>58544406There's a caste system for 2* cards in the trade economyFrom top to bottom:>Oak and meta supporters>waifu supporters>rainbow rare Pokemon>Planeta FA Pokemon>homo supportersPokemon cards can be bumped up a tier if it's a meta/new card like Blaziken or Sylveon
thoughts on lunala memes
>>58544568yeah, dhelmise is definitely still the worst ex in the game. even cresselia and lapras are better since they do the same damage for the same energy but have effects that mean something.
>Whimsicott>Stage 1>attack that does maybe 100, probably only 70 for 2 energy>140 hp>no abilitydamn they got bro fucked upat least give em legendary pulse>TaurosOH MY GOODNESS
>>58544574i traded blaziken for cyrus so you're underestimating it quite a bit
>>58544577swap dawn wings for sts giratinait retreats for cheaper/free, has more hp than dawn wings as well as no recoil, and still kills funnybird for the same 3 energy
Holy fuck the espeon indee decks are pure cancer
>>58544591Whimsicott should've had 0 retreat costWouldn't help it all that much but it fits
>>58544593ugh im aware of that, and i do have it full art so it'd even look fancier, but dawn wings is so thematically appropriate it hurts to remove it
during space time i pulled like 8 immersive palkia's and I STILL can't trade those retards away, what a tragedy.
>Arceus ex>140 HP>Ability>Possibly attack that can easily hit 90+ damage>Bonus cards that synergize with it>Tauros>140 HP>No ability>2 energy attack that does 90 in a meta where quite a few mons have 190+ hp, meaning a 3hko>20 recoilI thought old cards were supposed to be powercrept, not mog the next generation?
>>58544577I play a more compact build with 2 Lunala, 1 Giratina ex and 1 STS Giratina. Indeedee should be a good addition though
>>58544627ohh could you let me see it? could give me some good ideas
I got 5 premium points left, should I take Suicune backdrop or cover?
>>58544624>The God of All Creationvs>a fucking white alpacaYeah they did Tauros dirty.
damn Altaria's Immersive actually sucks assmight be bottom 3
>>58544633I'm not sure if I want to use Sylveon's draw power or not but I don't like it when I fail to get either Giratina ex or Lunala ex online so I prefer run less Pokemon. May should be a good replacement for Comms
I'm 1-6 with rapidash kek
>>58544652IMO it's the prettiest Immersive card but the animation is the most nothing one out of all of them
>>58544574there's a lot more nuance to it than that.even among the meta supporters there are huge gaps, like red is lower than sabrina/mars, who are lower than cyrus, who's lower than oak.popular and/or meta rainbows are actually above the more useless waifu supporters like acerola or whitney and can absolutely be traded for meta supporters to the right person. i personally traded two rainbows for meta supporters, and they weren't even good cards, just popular pokemon people really like.and even among the planetas there's still a lot of variance in value. the pack cover planetas are high in demand since they got immersives instead of rainbows, so they're pretty solidly up there. giratina is also significantly more valuable than other planetas since it's meta and also never got a rainbow.
>>58544532At least rapidash can snipe the bench and be boosted by flame patch and you can run it along side baby rapidash and blaine
>>58544652Ho-oh and Lugia are still really ugly
>>58544663i wouldn't call ho-oh ugly, but yeah lugia got butchered with the redraw
I want a leaf, is this card jewed out or do people make resonable trades for her? It doesn't make sense either, there should be plenty since the chinese god pack shit was going wild back then. I saw a guy with 10 of them.
>>58543954It's okay, I'm in no rush. here's my friend code 5476-1006-7098-1537.
I genuinely want to murder the person that allowed the same turn evo eevee
>>58544674shoulda been usable from the bench too
>>58544674Can Eevees stop getting fucking powercrept already? I mean holy shit a new Eevee almost every fucking pack. The Vaporeon Ex pack is gonna have an Eevee Ex with the same ability as the current one but with Find a Friend and 30 extra HP at this rate.
>>58544672leaf shouldn't be too hard to get. as long as you've got something reasonably equivalent you should be able to find a trade just fine.
Are immersives tradable? I got 3 extra Celebis that have been haunting me since MI.
This set isn't really based on any generation in particular. Wonder if the next sets will ditch the region format too
>>58544690I think its alternating between generation and some kind of theme, just that this time around we're starting with the mega theme. Feel like gen 3 with kyogre/groudon might be next since we're starting off with M-Blaziken and Hoenn has its fair share of megas.
>>58544690hopefully they ditch it entirely. nostalgiabaiting with the generational format clearly doesn't work since WSS flopped big time compared to CG.
>>58544702the big ass Y in the trailer probably means a Y set and an X set with their corresponding megas
>>58544690It's supposed to be ORAS I thought?
>>58544709despite what people online may tell you, johto isnt a particularly populat region lol, its like right in the middle
>>58544714only mega altaria is from oras. the other five megas in the set are from xy.
>>58544711could be that too yeah, its definitely going to be whichever mega focused generation for the next few sets too, what with the ZA 'hype' still ongoing
>>58544719...blaziken?
i really hope mega gardevoir is good...it's a really good card in the TCG, they made it strong because they know gardevoir moves packs so they'll make it a good card here too, right?
>>58544719yeah but the mega theme plus a lot of hoenn trainers makes me think oras>>58544726xy preorder bonus/event iirc
>>58544733Easily cover
>>58544726nope, blaziken was XY. it was an event mon for the release of the game much like victini was with BW.
>>58544731it was a part of the of top 2 deck in GA so yeah it'll probably be strongthe only moneymaker mon who's been perpetually cucked and shit is gengar I think, also rayquaza I guess
Give me recent, new metal decks, this new AI are making meactually update my decks, no I dont play online
>>58544732there's only two hoenn trainers though, i wouldn't really call that a lotmarlon is unova, fantina is sinnoh, copycat is kanto, and hala is alola
>>58544741oh wow, i forgot that surprisingly
>>58544744Oricorio + Greninja fucks every AI in the ass except for a few in which you can add in Giratina or Suicune or something
>>58544744solgaleo with the johto beast engine is probably still the go-to metal deck for beating up on the AIit crushed the expert mega altaria for me with little effort
How's the Mega Gyarados brews going?
>>58544757its looking grimhe's the fraud of the set
>>58544757poorlyit's not putting up great results so far
Haven't played in earnest since the eevee setany fun decks to try?
>>58544768brew(its miserable and not fun)
>always like all my friends showcases on reset>one of the dudes that likes mine back randomly offers me an Oak>actually went through with itNice
>>58544768greninja/oricorio is really good right now and that deck is fun to play (albeit cancer to play against)
>>58544773did you forget brock
>>58544773>golem deck>no brockoh shit nigger what are you doing
>>58544795>>58544799I wanted to maximize healing itemsMaybe Brock over the Lyras will make it more playable
What packs will you blow your load on in a few minutes once the shop renews?
>>58544397>only one full art profget out of my thread
>find a fun deck>go to test it>get dead hands like 3 times in a row>ditch deck>repeat
>>58544818just play beast and sylveon brews bruv
i think i just won my ticket to 1 oak. or should i just keep it? copycat doesn't seem too useful.also, fuck you anon who said my deluxe lusamine isn't worth shit. i got a sabrina for it.
>>58544829imagine fucking copycat chan and she suddenly copies Hala mid-sex
>>58544068fc: KBZLM2FrvD
>>58544773i get that you want to wall with snorlax while building golem but between it, ilima, and malasada, that's a lot of wasted deck space. you definitely need a couple brocks so drop the malasadas for those.also might want to consider replacing snorlax with regirock and just planning on letting regirock die or lyra'ing it, which lets you drop the ilima for like a lillie or something. you're not going to be able to sweep with snorlax if you lead it so better to go with a nonex imo.
My god pack....
>Over 50 packs>Zero (0) 2* or higherWhat kind of seed was planted in my ass for this to happen?Got this lil' guy at least
>>58544842damn. that's rough, buddy.
>I now have 2 full art Mayswhat can I get for these
>>58544865a decent chance at oak, which means anything under it too
I wish they would go back to disallowiing trades from the newest set. This is the angriest I've been playing this game.
new pikachu is promo-B, so promo-A is officially over.trades enabled for promo-A when?
I really don't have a lot of 2 star dupes to trade away...
>>58544891that's why you trade non-dupes.
I need a Cyrus willing trade anything from here, 2nd pic incoming
I keep getting multiple full arts for the shit I don't use>Three chandelures>Now too gloomyI'm like 80 packs deeps and I don't even have a mega. Not one I can't use but just one in general. I don't have it. At all. Fuck.
>>58544417gee I wonderdid you even try thinking about it for more than 2 seconds?
>>58544908Cont’d
>>585448356335608105477307 if you're not trollin
just saw a top 5000 jap use a colorless altaria with Do the Wave as a "bypass oricorio" option for his m-altaria deck, honestly pretty interesting
>pull a FA luxray>immediately recognize that it's by the same artist who did the promo FA zeraora from a while backwe need more cards by this person, they look fucking sick.
>>58544942that's probably the optimal choice, right? i mean your other options are baby sylveon or risk bricking with a basic. and baby sylveon is good and all, but using it as your oricorio answer means you either have to run a third eevee or avoid using your second sylveon in the oricorio matchup, neither of which are ideal.
>>58544955the guy who won the recent 200 man used the 90 hp Relicanth the new trainer makes it less harmful to brick on with it
>>58544970which deck
I just got my fucking second 2 Star Hala
>>58544973https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/68ffc3d7dd7011c665c40b79/player/dodorimo/decklistpretty sure this is what anon was talking about
finally got something from wonder pick again
>>58544982same
>>58544975damn. sadly it's probably too late to find a gaynon to trade for one of those.i was lucky enough to pull mine 20 minutes after the set dropped so i got to trade it for a card i actually wanted, but that window is likely closed by now.
The 185 man tournament is coming down to Blaziken Entei vs Luxray Oricorio. Rooting for the latter.
got addicted to altsfirst it was just logging in once a day to pull the daily packsbut now i'm logging each of them every four hours to check for 2* WPs
>mega blaziken premiumfinally time to crack my free trial
>>58544995i fuckin knew luxray oricorio would be good in this meta now that shit like silvally is falling off. it absolutely thrives in a heavy ex meta where most decks only run 1 oricorio answer.>>58545000wait until the end of november so you can double up on the missions. you can get two cosmetic sets for the price of one that way.
>golden lilligant alrighty then
>>58544995>>58545008>he WONThe lion does not concern himself with Mega Evolving.
>>58545008>wait until the end of november so you can double up on the missions. you can get two cosmetic sets for the price of one that way.ooh good point, thank you anon, I was just about to confirm
>>58545014based fucking luxray
>>58545014based. i see he's running one of the new luxray and one of the STS one, didn't expect that but it makes sense in hindsight. gotta try that variant myself.
>>58545014link to tourney/deck?
>>58545023https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/68fad610dd7011c665c3e92a/standings
I don't think it's good but anyone have any fucking ideas for archeops?
>Ranked still not upaaaaaaaaaaaa
I was hoping Dena was generous enough to put monthly Shinedust in the shop...
>>58545024thanks babetime to try it out right now
>>58545025Alright let's see what we're working with here->20 damage to all pokemon>40 damage on the next turn>stage 2>140 hpOh. So, we have a relatively fragile Stage 2 fossil that does no damage and has no bench ability. How very unfortunate. I suppose, Donphan ex + Arch?
>>58545025best thing you can do with it is probably a double fossil deck alongside rampardos. aerodactyl/rampardos with cleffa was my petdeck back in WSS, you could try something similar with archeops and may though it'll likely be very tight on supporter space.
>>58545036with 4 uninterrupted turns of attacking it can kill a backline ex if it doesn't get healed!!!
>>58545036>>58545040Yeah probably some single prize only toolbox kinda deckWould be a great opener if it weren't a fossil140 is not bad; I think I can definitely get 2 attacks off before death at least, and with cyrus maybe ideally stall by pulling in bad retreat monsNot sure I like 2 fossil lines though
>>58545052I'd say Donphan because role compression.>Stage 1ism is mitigated by guaranteed Phanphy>Early attacker + ramp attack, because Archeops has no damageAlternatively, maybe a Silvally deck?
I just love how rigged the AI is
>>58545061I got mad that my Hydreigon-Sylveon-Absol deck was getting beefed by the AI so I switched to Oricorio-Greninja and turned my brain off
>>58545052Unironically try Hitmonchan. Maybe just going full early rush down would be best.
>>58545060I can sort of see donphan working, yeahGive him the retard helmet and lyra, hope he gets hit early (maybe no helmet then) and hope you get archeops early to swing him back out for archeops to spin while you set him up on benchMaybe phanpy can give itself the damage I need for lyra>>58545066When he dies, what can I do with 20-40 per turn on my last mon?
>>58545052using archeops with the usual rampardos partners like donphan or silvally sounds very counterproductive since those cards will always be up front first due to archeops being a fossil and after they go down you'll be sitting on a 20 damage archeops instead of a 130 damage rampardos.i'd say it's best to embrace the gamblecore and just pair it with rampardos and pray.
>>58545064my problem is how it has the exact number of stuff down to the very last exact HP they need to beat you
I want to remind my luckfriends not to trade your DX pulls for some stupid shit in the height of a new expansion and trade update. There may be a point in our future before DX's return where professor's research gets outmeta'd and your lusamine and lillies or even your special SR's are worth more than that old fart. Certainly much more than this mega crap will.
Imagine a 10 pull with only one 3D at best and still not >1* cards over 70 packs
>>58545089i very much doubt there will ever be an upgrade to professor's research. other arts are basically confirmed since they added (professor oak) to it in the card dex, but the TCG has never powercrept their version of professor's research and it still sees play to this day despite remaining the exact same card as 25 years ago.
>>58545079Yeah maybe that's trueI think May might be pretty good here to help get the stage 1 -> 2 pipeline going instead of hoping for candiesAnd then lead with hitmontop/chan or cleffa
>>58545098I didn't think we'd get a straight upgrade, yeah. We're probably looking at 11 more expansions until the rerun though, might be a long enough stretch of time to see the powercreep get into overtuned deck search shenanigans where those 2 cards aren't worth the fit.
Does Stoutland counter Mega EX and Hydreigon ?
>>58545114Blaziken's probably going to run double Flame Patch
>>58545077You probably lose if Archeops or your second Hitmonchan can't finish the game. The idea is 50 damage every turn may let Archeops knock out mons that retreated to the bench late game. I agree that Donphan is probably better, but I feel it's worth a try with Hitmonchan.
>>58545114small issue, there's a stouland in your active spot
>play jolteon>opponent is playing mega gyarados>turn 4 he evolves into mega gyarados and slams misty>proceeds to flip, i shit you not, 10 fucking heads and kills his own gyarados thanks to jolteon's abilityi really really wish i had managed to take a screenshot because that was literally a one in a million game and i will never fucking see that again no matter how many games i play with this deck
>>58545126So is the idea behind the ability that the energy passes through a wall Jolteon sets up and then the opposing Pokemon gets electrocuted when they touch the shocked energy? Because if so, the mental image of a million water energies swarming Gyarados like bees and electrocuting him is hilarious.
>>58545126It's mad we can't save battle replays and share them yet
>>58545129Maybe that one PTCGP animator guy on Youtube will portray it that way when he covers Jolteon
>>58545126As a Gyarafag that sounds hilarious
>>58545126
>>58545139yeah, that's absolute gold waiting to happen.
kinda want to trade a full retard greninja ex dragonite brewbut i sadly have zero copies of greninja ex
Can anyone gimme a jolteon ex 4 diamond for a 4 diamond from the previous sets ?
>Having a blast trading>5 day stamina cool down for a full barwow lad
I like to flair, not all that much but if I have the means I'll definitely go for it. 2* costing so much fucking shinedust and the slow rate of earning it is already making me think twice on flairing my Serie B shinies and ex's
Looking for Mega Blaziken ex. Would anyone be interested in trading it for Mega Pinsir ex?
>>58545199Sure. 5227199278502342
>>58545195yeah, i feel the same way. the high price of 2* trading makes me not want to waste shinedust on flairs, even though they're so much easier to do now that you don't need dupes anymore.
>>58545209Sent
>>58545209Thanks!
Professor’s Research Oak will most likely be not powercreeped but will most likely get an alt art featuring a different professor
>>58545236It's usually the other way, in these kind of card games. Draw 2 cards usually gets banned or limited at one point.
>>58545236definitely. however, that either won't happen until they do deluxe pack 2 a year from now, it'll be a paid promo card like that one mewtwo and thus not affect oak's value much, or it won't be limited and thus oak will still be the top dog chase card.oak is also THE pokemon professor that everyone on the planet knows, so even if they do a waifu professor next like juniper or sada he'll still retain most of his value.
>>58544975it could be worse, you could've gotten fucking MARLON
>>58545179that'll be one dollar of gold for your next trade please
>>58545253true in most games, but the pokemon tcg has historically been batshit crazy with the draw power.
>>58545265It's actually really nice too that they dont. I fkn hate it when games introduce this early, and then take it away.
>AI uses Duplikat when I've got a single card in my hand and it's got fiveJesus wept.
>>58545272playing mega absol against the promo decks really opened my eyes to just how bad the AI plays.it'll sit there with one mon on the field and i'll think it's just hard bricking, then i'll attack with mega absol and it turns out the stupid piece of shit has four fucking basics in hand and just didn't play any of them for whatever reason.
>wake up>pull thisI know you mad, kek.
>>58543907Can you trade non-dupes? Would gladly trade you for Acerola
>>58544045>Hydreigon Sylveon EXFrom enemies to lovers
>>58545300Hala is the middle aged super fan getting a stiffy.
has anyone got a FA mars they don't want, and if so what do you want for it?
>>58545096I'm f2p, so every booster counts.Just opened 15 packs and got an IR and 2EXs.I'm genuinely starting to think that my account is rigged because I shopped a pass some months ago and Dena wants more money from me.I'm becoming a schizo even though I've studied enough statistics to know this may just be bad luck and the system is not to blame, but..
>>58545331Silver
>saw no 4stars in so long>got itI know you are getting really mad now, kek.
>>58545423Maybe if it wasn't a Dragalge EX. It's so mid it doesn't even show up in an AI battle.
>>58545423Planeta Dragalge...my favorite
Pulling from Mega Altaria's pack first since I want Fantina and Whimsicott even if they're awful
>Luxray just won a 200 man tournamentI just traded my Volkner for a Cyrus, NOOOOOOOOOO
>>58545447Based taste, I got lucky and pulled her pretty early. Shame she doesn't work with Misdreavus ex, still going to try and get the rainbow to pair with her in my binder.
>>58545475How good is Blaziken Entei tho,It's not winning anything but it's always T3
>>58545447I pulled Whimsicott but happy to trade it for another EX from this set. Do you have any?
>>58545494The guy that came in second got super lucky with his road to the final. He lost to every Oricorio Deck, but won against everyone else.
>>58544842Thank you bro :D
>>58545475is this the new luxray? or the old one?
>>58545524Both, the goal is to weaken the mega with the new Luxray and then snipe his ass when he retreats. 3 point cost makes this deck so freaking good.
>>58545529>prix reduits sur electroTopical.
>>58545529Why do so many French play pocket?
>>58544386If you're still around, sent a friend request.Was asleep when you posted this.

Did a 10 pack of each and got 95% low diamond garbage, also this.
Anything I could get for an immersive Guzma?
>>58545563You cant trade it

Thank you for the netdeck list , this deck is so fun.
Would I be able to get a Research for Cynthia

>>58545605May is next month. This set is lasting until NYE.
>>58545628But it will be premium pass or free by event of tickets?
should i trade for 2 star silver or travelling merchant? are they still relevant?
>>58545649Premium pass, of course. The event ticket cosmetics this month are Psyduck-themed.
>>58545651Can confirm Silver is still relevant, especially in M-Gyarados decks to effectively have a chance of discarding hand
Bros...?
>>58545654GODDAMMIT!!!!
>>58545651I'm not into PvP so I can't say, but I happened to trade Silver for DX Lusamine, and traded Planeta Lugia for Merchant
Finally beat that fucking Hitmonchan EX deck by using the STS Luxray to nuke both Lucarios, and then relying on the bird to grind the opponent down.
why are the jolteon ex card so ugly? It looks like a toad WTF, the best One Is the normal 4D one
>>58545705The artist said he got inspired by this meme
>>58545014Does this mean my FA Volkner has some value?
