>>58674141
Copycat if you have none, for sure! You'll use it in loads of decks.

d-does somebody want a planeta or rainbow mega pinsir?

If this is an alt, trade them all. You should get 100k dust after doing solo missions

Altaria feels broken, that deck feels good into everything

>>58674246
I only have Fantina.

>>58674270
Altaria is broken because you can just get your basics in your hand at any time, and it's only a stage 1 that deals 130 damage for just two energies.

How do you counter the board that has

>>58674141
Copycat is broken and Lisia will see play in any deck with more than two 50 or less HP mons. Greninja is not worth 25k Shinedust unless he's your favorite though.

>>58673892
I typically I just go up to the beginner missions and then stop. Once it gets to the battle tutorials and advanced missions I find it starts taking too long and its just faster to start over than to do all that for a few extra. I want to say its around 15-20 minutes per reroll like this but I haven't timed it

But it kind of depends what you're after with the account.
If you just want a mule account that'll eventually get you some good shit you can do like this >>58673901 and its not very demanding
If you're targeting a very specific rare card it can be a lot of rerolls and a lot of frustration (I really only did this for DX Lillie and Lusamine since they were limited time)
Otherwise if I'm just sitting on a dead alt that's served its purpose I'll start a fresh one and just do a very light reroll to prep it for a new set dropping
Unless you really want a specific 2-star (or like the DX set they are limited) its hard to recommend rerolling for them because specific 2-stars are so fucking hard to pull.

I personally find the best value in alts to be something I can log into once a day, rip 2 packs, check WP, then send an EX or 3-diamond over and I'm done. Makes for very easy dex and playset completion when new sets come out. And then whenever I happen upon a 2-star I like I can trade it over as dust permits, and then start a new one when its dead.

>>58674020
>Blaziken
>anywhere near the level of cancer that is Altaria, Absol or Greninja
Fuck no. If Absolgon opens with Deino and has candy+gon in hand it's gg almost instantly because chances are nothing you put out turn 1 is tanking 130 dmg and then hitting back in any significant way.
Meanwhile Altaria gets to block you of using part of your deck while getting free heals and can shit out 130 dmg easily. Suicune greninja is the same cancer as always only made slightly more tolerable thanks to copycat.
Meanwhile Blaziken can do 140 turn 2 if it goes second and opens with a perfect hand and you don't run chingling or red card.

the pennys already dropped on Oak being the most valuable card in the game but retards need to stop going on trading apps with names like "ONLY4OAK" and clueing the few remaining marks into realizing what they have

It's a dead if your opponent doesn't use tools. Not every deck has space for that. I bet you're basic Ex scum.

>>58675320
as they keep adding more and more supporters it becomes harder to justify ones that aren't broadly useful in every single matchup
copycat alone is eating up all the slots for those types of supporters, putting guzma in over a copycat or even over a second copycat is a tough sell
even fucking red is falling off nowadays

I tried claydol the other day and did precisely that to some indeedee deck. It has its moments

There really needs to be a counter to red card/Mars. Copycat is only a partial counter because if they have nothing in hand it's useless, we need some card that activates when it's discarded with a nasty effect to make people think twice about just flushing your hand.
It's asinine when on his first turn the opponent can draw half his fucking deck, fill his bench, have all his combo pieces ready and then he flushes your hand before you even get to do anything.

i did it brehs i reached ultraball 3, the highest i've ever gotten. i'm going to aim for the top

>>58676092
caped chingling with indeedee gonna fuck you up

>>58676183
how the fuck did you get all of those on an alt? something doesnt make sense here

>>58676197
The keyword here is:
>it doesn't matter to pull for cards you want on alts
>altS
The man is greedmaxing with multi-alts.

>>58676205
but I have like 8 alts and I can ferry all the valuable stuff over because I can get to around 100k dust, thats 4 trades. I dont think I have more than 4 valuable cards on any single alt, it doesnt make mathematical sense, the odds are too low for f2p alts

>>58676208
>he only has 8 alts
Lol
Lmao
I know 1 dude who's got 40.

>>58676216
what does the number of alts matter in any of this discussion about dust

>>58676218
Because the discussion point I'm discussing is >>58676197
"how did you get all those on an alt?"
Because the dude is on multi-alts.
That's that simple, try and keep on anon.

>>58676233
k it sure sounded like he had all those on ONE alt, which is what I was contesting

>>58676188
Good luck getting into UB4 and facing nothing but suikune, altaria and absol while the game forcibly bricks your hands and while you go 1st every single time.

>>58676236
And your reading comprehension failed you since he clearly said alts, plural

>>58676242
you understand in this context alts doesn't necessarily mean they're saying they have plural alts right? this is ironic because you're talking about reading comprehension

>>58676197
It's 8 alts. I also forgot I've of them has RR Absol.

>>58676188
Getting to UB and stopping is the smartest thing I've ever did while playing this game.

>>58676247
>you understand in this context alts doesn't necessarily mean they're saying they have plural alts right?
A few minutes later... >>58676252

I couldn't agree with you more, but Pokemon is a different story.

>>58676411
In the shop it costs 1 dollar per 5 gold, and you get 5 pack points per pack so a 10 pack gets you 50 pack points
Oak costs 1250 pack points so technically it should cost 125 dollars

I care more about my full art dialga from the limited pack because I actually got one as a f2p than oak who decided to be a little bitch and run away from me

She's already outclassed Comms & the more mons you have in your hand via Ball(s) the easier it is to pick which mons you want to get/pitch. Or just like with Comms you can throw away your Basic(s) & just Ball them back. While very helpful but the reason I'm not thrilled is that since CG my decks have only needed 1 Ball unless there's more than 4 Basics.

About 85% of my matches are:
>start first
>evolve later than my opponents
I have pvp so damn much.

does closing the app make it so that the game doesn't register losses? is that why so many people are doing it? or are they purposefully wasting my time?

>>58677195
>are they purposefully wasting my time?
Yes, usually japs do this because theyre sore losers

goddammit, May is such a good card but is almost always less viable than copycat. Its not fair lol

>>58677195
Or maybe it's the other way around. It takes a lot of time going through the boring loss sequence. It may actually be faster just to reboot the game. But DeNA should give you the option to report the ragequitter. That's an immediate fix to an annoying problem if the game penalizes you for it.

>>58679033
Well I'm not going to whale to get more.

>>58679050
what do you even need that dust for
sharing ex cards back and forth every day means you get dust faster than you get fodder 2* for alt trades let alone valuable 2* that you can trade with actual players

>>58679054
Right, but isn't every 10 pack of DX basically 10k shinedust, if you pull absolutely nothing?

>>58679056
more like 8-9k but again what do you need the dust for
if you save your glasses you're going to struggle to complete sets which means you're going to miss out on the enhanced wonder picks which means you're going to have less 2* that you want for the entire year
and you're only going to pull garbage shit literally nobody wants with those glasses, don't delude yourself into thinking you're going to pull an oak when the odds are literally worse than crown rare candy

2* Copycat is probably going to be a top value card for a long time, huh. I love the card art and I'd be running it in just about every deck, but I was feeling too greedy to trade my Mars/Lillie/Cyrus for one in hopes I'd be able to keep more of a collection of the really good shit and just trade for her with another high value new pack card pull. Now I'm thinking she's only going to be even more valuable over time and it's better to trade one of those top cards I do have asap that I never actually liked as much.

>>58679067
>what do you need the dust for
To trade for FAs that I missed.

>>58679074
The funniest part of this to me are the idiots on almost every site with Pocket discussions (including here) that were saying Lisia and May were better. I'm glad I have my 3 copies of Copycat, I only wish I had a second spare.

Kinda?

Hydreigon needs a fat basic to cleanup after it punches a few holes in their deck, but the options are slim as Darkrai needs to be constantly pinging to build itself up but Hydreigon is a fucling Energy hog, & Guzzlord who REALLY can't afford to invest even with Lusamine(s) working in tandem with Hyper Ray's discarding.

Dark Pendant/Red Card is a good 1-2 punch on M-Absol but it's moreso the only choice atm if anything.

The meta requires more thoughtful plays than usual, but the variety is currently non existant. There are solid 5 consistent decks right now. A lot of games are also determined by your opening hand more often than not.
