What does Hydreigon deck consist of

Guzzlord is still a fun deck after all these months.

>>58821377
just use your favorite non overlord information hoarding search engine bro

>>58821377
Chingling, Absol, Absol Mega, sometimes Indeedee

There really is no way of knowing what cards you have 0 copies of besides manually checking everything

what's the most cancerous deck in rank right now?

>>58821566
You've got Hydreigon feat. MAbsol, SuicuneFrog and Altaria, both MAbsol and Altaria can just run the fucking frog if they feel like it too.

Is there a trade tier list for two star Pokémon cards (full art and rainbow rares)? I saw one once on JP twitter but it was supporters only

>tfw the megazard deck is actually about charging up Entei ASAP with ZardY as a pocket nuke if the dog slamming people for 120 isn't enough
Something about this is very funny to me.

>>58821588
the VAST majority are untiered and can be traded for eachother but some loose rules for value:

1) RR >>> planetas
2) mon is current meta > the mon or the card art is a fan favorite
3) card is required for a mission

dis lil nygguh Goomy getting cosmetics wtf

>>58821596
Legendary Pulse aside, during MR Entei just sat there eating shit until Blaziken eventually got online

Now between Charmeleon's Ignition & Flame Patch it just works going from the worst Beast to probably contending with Suicune

>>58821566
Altaria is braindeadedly fast, at least the other 2 mentioned need to fine their pieces which can be a gamble

AltariaNIGGERS get the disconnect for a reason

I started playing a few weeks ago. I don't have enough cards to make a deck of my own yet. What should I do?

>>58821773
Keep opening the Gyarados pack until you've got your Hydreigons or the Altaria pack until you've got Altarias and go from there.

>>58821773
at the start you get so many free hourglasses that you can pull a shit ton of cards.
pretty much this >>58821800
you're gonna miss out on some old staples but I would wait until you can trade because the newer packs have way more meta relevant cards

Just open Altaria packs.You'll get everything you need for a pretty broken deck. If you decide to go for Hydregon M. Absol, you'll be missing cards from other expansions to reach its full potential.
In contrast, M. Altaria can replace certain trainers from other expansions with Indeedee/potions or use points from opening packs to buy May or Copycat.

This allowed me to reach master on 2 alt accounts spending the bate minimum on hourglasses.

Why do they refuse to put in a greninja counter? This game is fucked until they do. So many damage negation cards that dont apply to abilities its so retarded. There is ZERO counterplay to an activr greninja spamming 20 damage pings. It’s genuinely so fucking broken

Funny because I’ve had the displeasure of browsing the subreddit for this game and the people there get super mad if you imply this game is mainly about collecting and not battling. Like they very much think this game has serious competitive legs. It’s embarrassing.

>inb4 reddit

I know, I usually avoid gaming subreddits because they’re usually very circle jerk-y and this one is no exception.

Doesn't even compare to the level of bullshit that is frog decks. Even DarkTina fell off the meta yet this shit persists. There needs to be a dedicated anti-frog card, an oricorio but specifically designed to rape all frog players.

>>58822933
I only had to do UB4 and used a mix of Hydreigon/Absol and Blaziken to do it because I couldn't be bothered to make new decks when the meta is almost the same (and also I don't like Charizard).
Only real change is I removed Zweilous because it's a dead card 90% of the time and in Blaziken I swapped one of the heatmors for the new furfrou.

Venusaur mirrors suck. Whoever finishes evolving first wins. So basically whoever goes first wins.

>>58822997
Wouldn't playing at least 1 Serena be better than 2 Lillies?

>>58822997
One Bulbasaur seems to be the better ratio because even if you run two, losing the first Bulbasaur/Ivysaur is such a setback that you've already lost anyway. The second Ivy/Venu are there for consistency. Also I would play at least one more heal slut.

>>58823005

What mirror is winnable if your opponent gets their evos online first?

>>58823017
Yeah. I would also play Cyrus because duh. Opposing Megas will often flee after taking a hit from Venu and waking up.

>>58823020
That's true but Venusaur mirrors are always decided by who can get the first KO since the best lists play it solo unless you like bricking on Nihiligo/Petilil leads.

>playing solgaleo
>90% of matches are against fire
>somehow still have a positive WR
I know it could still be a million times worse

>>58823091
it definitely is good. Broken is debateable.
The fact is it's still a stage 2 which already is a big balancing measure because you won't be able to play it without luck
It has to take 30 damage BEFORE attacking, which means it can't just kamikaze like rampardos
Every time you are using an energy zone energy, and taking 30 damage, you still aren't powering up the bench, which means that hydreigon is a glass canon that almost acts like a burden to the rest of the team.

>>58823054
I hate both those decks desu

how ythe ewrgfsyhv usdjbfqr jf uycjkk are you going to let me roll 4 tails in a row with lopunny

>>58823098
Taking damage during your turn is better than taking damage after your turn since there are countless ways of mitigating it. Indeedee reduces it to 10 recoil.

>>58823171
True, however ramp does not need to recharge and takes no damage if it doesn't KO, so it kinda balances out.

>>58823109
I wish I had 4 Lopunny tails on my head.

>>58823208
rampardos is nowhere to be seen in tournaments though

>>58823222
Probably because because Hydreigon's deck is more consistent and supports it better than Rampardos decks and because with megas rampardos becomes succeptible to revenge kills.
However I have no doubt it could make a resurgence if a fossil searcher ever made it into the game.

>>58821566
Greninja/Suicune is up there but you get used to it.
Aside of that MVenasaur with Indeedee is very annoying if the other guy can get both online very soon. Altaria is bad if you suck or get unlucky, same with any absol deck.

>>58823225
I hope we can eventually get a Ditto that can be used as a basic for any evolution requirement.

>>58823419
Errata'd to not be able to bench snipe like TL Crobat would be fine. Would still be better than it even since it's not tied to a specific card

>>58823458
… thats a good thing bro…

The sinplest answers to Grenigger are to either make a mon or equip that negates ability damage, or a mon or item that outright reflects it. You could also have a trainer that makes it so next turn your opponent can only activate 1 mon ability for the whole turn, including passives. Would really slow shit down and tone down a lot of the bs.

>>58823462
This, do tell.

>>58823475
NTA but I assume it's a deck that runs Hitmonchan EX with the pump Lucario and it just tries to rush you down with 50/70 damage swings before you can durdle your way into a 20 energy 1HKO

>>58823333
The problem with trading card games is that they're not fun. In metas with a wide variety of viable decks, it only means a wide variety of bullshit to kick your shit in. In metas with a small handful of builds running ramping means you have to deal with the same bullshit every single game.
You just won't have a period where you're having a good time consistently.
There will always be something to piss you off.

I wanna grind the mareep drop event for shop tokens, does the expert level guaranteeing a booster pack mean I have less chance of getting shop tokens? Should I stick to the lower difficulties if that has just as much chance of giving me them?

I mean they could be. Japs are by far the ones who play the weirdest off-meta decks, whenever I am in jap hours is when I see decks I never see anywhere else, Westerner hours are 100% metafaggotry with the odd rogue deck thrown in.

indeedee hits helmet venus for 150, which is actually 130 because all venus run helmet, heal up with lillie/erika and one shot indeedee back with bloom+poison tick and still live an incoming full power mega harmony if needed

>>58824309
I mean shouldn't indeedee get the knockout even before venusaur hits the field?

>>58824291
chingling + red card, can't ramp fast enough without extract and you kill them when they're still ivysaurs.
If you notice them hesitating for a bit on their turn after you hit them with chingling its almost a sure sign they have extract in hand, then you just red card that shit away.

you fault for playing oricorio with it. i've tried all the jolteon+something variants and all they do is brick you, eevees only is the most consistent version of the deck.

NOOOOOO!!!!!!
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE BUTT PLUG!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

>>58824609
depends on your definition of off-meta, really
if you just mean "not greninja, hydreigon, altaria, or some kind of magnezone" then it's easily done, but if you're excluding shit like jolteon and decidueye it's probably not reasonable to hit master in a timely fashion
the power gap between pet decks and meta decks is bigger than it's ever been

>>58824573
The thing with MB is that once you reach it one time reaching it again is not that hard and was made way easier when they added streaks to UB. Climbing from UB1 back when there were no streaks was real suffering. As for the emblem I prefer the clean one without the numbers.

>>58824706
yeah, you drop two tiers regardless.
climbing from great ball 4 to ultra 2 isnt all that different from climbing ultra 3 to master. the ladder is filled with shitters and easy wins either way.

>>58823761
Yugioh has 2 archetypes: Masked HEROs and Inzektors. Inzektors are all based on insects proper but Masked HEROs follow the aesthetic of Kamen Raider closer than other sentai. Inzektors were meta but fell off naturally with powercreep and Masked HEROs are about as good as HEROs (the super-archetype it belongs to) are at any moment because Dark Law is always a good decision.

Man idk how you people use jolteon. This insta jobs to any mega pokemon

It's all about how fast you get that retard online via Boosted Evolution, & then if you have a Zera/Oricorio+Elemental Switch you just steamroll since they can only get softened up with adding energies.

I've also seen Beginning Bolt Jolteon for a lead as well to clock their opening Basic instantly. It's really all-in on having everything in their opening hand which I've experienced more times than not.

I get to master ball using luxray every time idk if that's off-meta enough for you though

>>58824952
it just werks. sure sometimes you lose because you bump into mega blaziken and they're smart enough to not attach an energy to the bench torchic until they can flame patch to 2 energy, but other times you bump into mega blaziken and just kill torchic on turn 2 for game.

The tickets, once you get all the decorative stuff, amount to 50 shinedust each.
