First for best Oricorio.
Second for dead game, holy shit Suicune Grenigger clean sweep while Dagdreigon cleans up the decks that are good into it
anything i could replace my meloetta for?oricorio with rocky helmet clowns on my deck. i keep running into oricorio + magnezone for this event battle and it's like 10% winrate
got my girl in the only language that counts
Strangle all Fagnezone players, watch the life drain from their eyes!
I fucking despise Grenigga
i really do not understand how suininja decks take tournaments meanwhile i'm bricking in my opening hand while everyone's got their mega venusaurs and mega charizard ys online
What is a good deck for ogrepon?Don’t think any grass card from the new set really fits with it
>>58897357yeah i am actually dropping this deck this is like the third fucking time in a row i couldn't even get any basics on my bench despite having legendary pulse online all the time, holy fuck
I have a bunch of 1-star FAs:>Greninja>Gardevoir>Reniculuslooking for FA:>TyrantrumThat's it.Friend ID: 1542-3878-0115-0288Thanks, guys.
so why isn’t anyone playing mega blaziken in tournaments?
post poorly designed cards that only make the game worse.>easy bake healing >low retreat cost so a bad lead isn't the end of the world>actual good attack>enables already toxic playstylesyet another broken ability just casually slapped onto a basic pokemon.

>>58897491Based, he's fun to play

lol
>>58897482I sometimes think of the timeline where this card wasn’t printed.
You know poncho would be pretty good if it protected you against shit in the active spot. But no, dena thinks you shouls still get hit by>darkrai ping>rocky helmet>greninja ping>jolteon pingis there anything else i am missing
>>58897590you'd actually have good water decks and maybe Glaceon, Blastoise and Swampert won't be awkward to use.
>>58897594put me in coach
>haven't gotten a single 2* rare this set after opening 60 packs
>>58897482>magby ramp turn 1>rare candy turn 3>eating 140 damage from a 210hp Pokemon before you can even evolveuninteractive casino dogshit. rare candy was such a mistake
>>58897627Same and am at 67 packs
>>58897637Remember when aggro Pika EX was the most meta deck in the game because it had the potential to do 90 damage on turn 4? Good times
>>58897627You will get one on 500 pack points if you don't before then. The system's rigged to will it.
thematically I love how Blacephalon decks juggle their mons each turn.
>>58897637magby isn't even good in blaziken decks lol
>>58897695Yeah, but it comes with the premade deck they gave people.
Where is the mega swampy RR?
>>58897698same spot. You will of course be trading it to me after I guessed correctly for you.
>>58897652post list
>>58897701Let me know when you want your Gossifleur, STINKY. Thanks a lot.
>>58897704lmao sorry m8, shoulda waited for more replies
>>58897707I usually go with my first (You) anyways, rain or shine. I was going to pick top right anyways. Neither of us were going to get it this time. At the very least, this is an alt, and I probably would've traded it to you had you picked it. I pulled one on my other alt already.
>>58897710>>58897707Here's a chance to redeem yourself, RR Mama Kanga; where's it at?
what's the verdict on protective poncho?
>>58897716Top middle, all in 6 million
>>58897725How many times will you fuck me tonight.
>>58897716It's always the top right.
>>58897728Depends, how many alts do you have?I hope this counts as flushing out my own bad luck for future picks.
>>58897720Magikarp doesn't instantly die to Heatmor/Absol/Lee/Grenigger anymore
I wanted to build with chingling + Cryogonal to completely shut down items, and base EXs are a pain to deal with because it lacks power. I tried adding Palkia but without Misty rolls it's pretty bad, and Suicune is anti-synergic (no items=no pokeballs=few to non opposing bench). I think Alola Ninetales EX could be a good fit but I own none (and is evil). Also I have no Grenigga EX unfortunately. Any suggestions?
>>58897729It's almost always top right when I click anywhere other than top right. >>58897741>how many alts12. Varying degrees of luck between them. >flushing out bad luckIt better not. If anything, I better be flushing out the bad luck for my main.
another Kang victim. I'm surprised how varied their decks are.
>>58897748Kanga can fit into anything, that's about the best thing about it, it's a 180 hp idiot that does 120 damage for any 3 whose only downside is getting doubly fucked by Rocky and Heavy helmets.
>>58897748Was slow to realise the rocky helmet takes effect twice, so Kanga would dread Druddigon or Pyuku kamikaze decks
>>58897760Make it punch 2 low-HP Cursola in a row
>t1 pichu zeraora kanga>gets 2 energies >t2 kanga gets elemental transfered and attacks with Red for 160How are you supposed to fight that? I had bird on the bench as well but I forfeited because he could just Ilma and have zeraora + cyrus to finish off my bird without any way of fighting back
is this tauros strong? 120 damage for 2 energy seems nuts
is winning battles for the current event infinite shinedust farming or do the rewards stop at some point?
>>58897782No.
>>58897782Anon, can you count?
>>58897782lots of mons can do more damage with less energy and having way more hp at the same time, also without the restriction of the enemy needing to be an ex
>>58895389Added you, Grisham
Speaking of Tauros, Tauros Ex did not need the fucking recoil, generic 90 for 2 is nowhere strong enough to justify that downside.
Really feel like there's room in this meta for some kind of basic-only deck to return that's completely built around bullying your opponents mega and pulling them forward constantly. I need to get in the lab
>>58897811They are piss-scared to make normal types good incase something in future makes them really OP. Mega kanga is basically the first good normal ex in this game
Does anyone have the high res full picture of the plusle/minun/passimian etc you unlock once you collect all the cards?
>>58897823they went from shit to broken in one go
>>58897823Arceus??
I thought the point of the Thanks queue was to quickly scoop. I was the first to scoop three games in a row, then when I finally didn't he actually battled me
>>58897482This card basically enables the most uninteractive opennings in the game.>opponent dumps their entire hand turn 1>Copycats to reload their hand and draw through half their deck>they can do this before you even get a turnI used to hate Sylveon for fucking draw 6 turns and this card feels so much worse sometimes. It enables all the miserable decks that want to auto combo off in two turns and actually punishes the player holding on to cards in their hand to use at the right moment. Just another symptom of Dena pushing the game to be faster for the low attention span playerbase.
>>58897902Yeah this is one of the worst cards ever added to the game, Red card and Mars already existed if you wanted to punish people holding onto all their tools for late game. This card just punishes anyone who isn’t hand dumping ever turn
Pulled a 2-star Blacephalon EX, what are some fun brew ideas?
>>58897942blac ex + blac + celesteela + magby
is Tyrantrum viable or is it worse than Rampardos?
>>58897986Worse.
>>58897986Worse but I think it's one off the better fossils stillI've been using it with Donphan ex which works fine on the frontline while I charge up Tyrantrum
>>58897986I think it's situational. Tyrant can run heavy helmet and has no recoil
>>58897902I don't give a fucking shit. "Winning" the coinflip and going first in this game used to make me absolutely fucking seethe. Ceding first Energy advantage was miserable. Copycat actually salvages that for me and lets me feel like I can actually try doing something and am not completely approaching the game from behind going first. She helped saved going first.
>>58897902at least the card is cute...trainer version of chatot is definitely cracked though
>>58898011>go first>draw Oak and other trainers>now if you play it the person going 2nd gets to draw out their whole deck“Going first saved”
>>58898011Meh. I feel like the whole hand redo part is basically a secondary effect at this point. It’s nice to have that option in that situation, but it doesn’t change how the card is abused as extra card draw. Both effects together are what make the card actually broken though. Otherwise you’d just play Iono.
>>58897720Despite being intended as answer to bench sniping this card kind of strengthens snipe decks in the sense that if you're building your deck that's weak to sniping you are now giving up limited deck space to ward against the CHANCE of encountering bench snipe.But, if a powerful deck were to emerge, and it's foremost weakness was bench sniping, then I suppose this card could be a real cornerstone to letting such a deck run wild.
>>58897986very viable, does enough damage to oneshot a ton of megas
>>58898030If Iono let you draw a card to replace itself it might've been good, but that effect would probably apply to the opponent too which is another problem, she just helps unbrick the opponent sometimes
>>58897820I played a game against someone using Drampa/Hypno/Magnezone and attempting to sleep/para/coinflip their way to winning.They still lost, but it was frustrating and they almost had a win
>>58897986If you're a madman run it with 1 Passimian ex
18 pokemon golurk is fucking hilarious. Going to be my go-to deck for events outside of ranked where losing doesn't matter
>>58898042Correct. But let’s not forget people actually used to run Iono for this exact reason. Because bricking was gg and this card was the only thing that could save you if you did. This card is an upgrade in every way because not only does it unbrick you without the drawback of effecting your opponent, it’s also card advantage most times too. There’s just not much of a downside to this card which is why it’s a staple in most decks now.
>>58898078The disadvantage is your opponent dumping their hand turn one before you can copycat them. That and Babies are about the only benefit to going first.Pocket is just too fast to give a shit about trying to bluff cards in hand like other TCG's. often all you need is a single supporter cyrus to make your deck work after you've established your board. Literally the only downside to setting up your board and having 2 cards in hand is you pretty much signify to your opponent you have RC+Evo in hand to swing next turn and you will get red carded if your opponent is running it.
>>58898088With mega kanga running around now, babies don't even feel good going first because a turn 2 baby means kanga is swinging turn 4And you know they have ilima ready too
>>58898088Exactly, but this is more to my original point. It’s the creation of cards like Copycat that make the game this way. The state of the game being the way you describe is kind of a product of the kinds of cards they’ve given us. Well, that and the basic design of the game. Maybe if dena didn’t keep releasing cards to make the game so fast there could be more to it than dumping your whole hand for a board state before your opponent can.
New chandelure is so funActually feels like your decisions impact how the game ends up playing out instead of 90% of games being decided by your starting hand or the opponent's ability to turn 3 hydreigon (which is still pretty much a loss)
>>58898118Feels like a better version of the last set's Porygon-Z
>>58898121I played PZ with Lugia, babbies and juggler and sometimes it gets it offYou need to get a baby in front and porygon in the back, but after that it's not hard to get PZ online as P2 automatically evolves and you also have candies. 3 energies means that you need support ofc but the setup is faster than usual
>>58898157I'd rather just play STS Porygon-Z for that same playstyle of trying to get it to 3-energy as soon as possible before the opponent can do anything. CB Porygon-Z loses steam fast
>>58898118I love the new ChandelureDrawing through the deck is quick thanks to Meowth + Copycat and you're basically guaranteeing the use of one supporter every turn, so by the time Chandelure is set up you're doing big damage.Also the fact that every Pokemon in the deck is a one-pointer so you can follow up with a 2nd Chandelure and finish off/do even more damage.
Fuck it, I'm burning 1500 shinedust for my boy
It doesn't always work but GODAMN do I love shuffling fuckers around with 2 Repels, Sabrina, & Cyrus on TurboVenu
>>58898002Got a brew? Hitmonchan/Passimian are ludicrously dogshit
>>58898240I'd prefer to run Garchomp ex but stage 2 + rare candy makes it less consistent than Donphan which also comes with a 30 attack basic and shared compatibility with Heavy Helm, though it can't retreat as easily
>>58898220same, repel is really strong right now. you cazn shuffle around the early game mons and it's good late game too with all the basics running around. won so many games against mega absol once he sees the repel in my hand.
>>58898118>>58898200yeah bro it's so fun flipping heads 3 times in a row with a meowth in the active spot. so much skill. I've got this great idea for a card guys check it out>FLIP A COIN. I HEADS YOU WIN THE GAME! IF TAILS YOU LOSE THE GAME!what do you think? it's quite esoteric, not sure if most people could pull off the requirements to win.
>>58898163I agree that it gets progressively weaker, but I use Mars to prevent that. Anyway I use both STS and new PZ, and I choose based on the situation. New PZ is supposed to wreck havoc and can usually dish 120-160 damage on first hit which is nice, also it avoids becoming a sitting duck (heh) thanks to juggler which makes you recycle at least one energy for Lugia or the other PZ. Anyway it's usually too much of a threat to be ignored and makes for a nice wall for Lugia in the back. STS PZ sometimes wins on its own and sometimes it's useless, it depends on the deck. Anyway PZ will never attack for 2 energies soon due to p2's ability which sets up by itself
I'm tired of playing Hydreigon deck, what should I play next ?

>>58898370Cool gimmick, cool monster, ruined by greninja and niggers.
Hey /tcgp/, sharing my 'finished' blinged out Lanturn petdeck I have spent months working on, only falls short of crown Pokeballs but I don't whale so no timeline on getting them. I managed to get 1 Oak by finishing pack points when Deluxe reran and the 2nd by trading a Cyrus FA for it on a trading app, those were the hardest to get but at least they're generically splashable for other projects.
>>58898482Good shit anon. Not a bad deck either.
>>58898370>Using the SHIT EATING FAGGOT DOG
>>58898482Based lanturnfriendStill a crime that Raikou got 2 retreat
>open 60+ packs>no 2* cards>open ebay>just buy the damn kangaskan for like 5 bucksI guess even in digital form, purchasing singles is always the superior route
>>58898482NiceI used to run Raikou too but it's just too slow and weak, ended up just putting in 2 cancerbirds in its place
>>58898482very nice rainbows. why not run double wills though?
>>58898565Lanturn's still so far the only card in this game that has a beneficial tails effect so it's not entirely reliant on Will, especially since it's the only coinflipper in the deck
>>58898504Yeah I’m at around 70-80 packs right now and I’ve literally only pulled one EX mon. I know bad luck is a thing, but I’ve never gotten it this bad. Did they fuck with the rates at all?
Looking for Blacephalon EX, Guzzlord and Chesnaught. Only cards I need to complete the current set before moving on to 1-star cards.
>cook a deck in my head>realize it loses to suicune ninja>turn off pocket
>get RR gigalith from WP>its the most worthless card in this set
>>58898640I'm hanging around until we finally get Metagross, if it's shit that's it for me.
>>58898492Yeah it's got a nice little bite to it with the Raikou Cyrus and Lanturn Will interactions.>>58898498Yeah it's pretty disappointing, but that's why I lean more heavily on Electrical Cord. At least Raikou can open up the biggest game-deciding card.>>58898554I have 2x Shiny Oricorio as well for build tweaking but Raikou is another favorite so I'm more partial to incorporating it, plus I like its ability to mark benched mons. The deck excels at catching and trapping Megas for game in that way. I actually have another Raikou deck (with Oricorio, without Lanturn) that I used during the previous emblem event to get my 25 wins, as it was surprisingly effective.>>58898565I only have 1 Will FA, but am willing to get a 2nd FA if it feels necessary. But during my time playtesting I tried double Will by default and it seemed like more of an extra brick since it's only security for Lanturn forcing an outcome in the late game. But as the other anon said, it's not like Lanturn's Tails effect is nothing. So sometimes Will can wind up being overkill with more consistency downsides than practical benefits.And thanks for the kind words!
Mismagius + Fantina can be nasty. Been running a deck with it and some heavy hitters in the back and when it combos it's really strong. Found a fag running it with kanga as well. it's a better Swanna if you just need psychic energy
>>58898672It's a Metal type card, it's destined to be shit regardless.
Looks like the ogre FLOPPED
>>58898781She's yet another one of those mons who need a good partner to work, I guess they wanted you to use her with Slaking but Slaking is just not good enough.
Mismagius + slaking + comfee. Did I brew?
>>58898789why comfee over ogerpon?
Ice pop is the most retarded card fucking hell
>>58898821Because you have mismagius.Also I don't have Pon yet, but you still need something to accelerate energy

I hate this thing so fucking much, 90% of my games it's a useless lump sitting on my bench. But god dammit if those rare times I need 70 damage directly to the bench hasn't saved my ass.I want to drop it from my deck so badly but I can't
>>58898258Thanks, between the retarded chicken & fucknut babies Phanphy just doesn't give a shit it's hilarious
>>58899269Idk, this card would be more balanced if that was an ability you could use once a turn, dealt 20 damage instead, and was put into a Water type 2nd Stage pokemon.
Is it just me or do people seem hesitant to trade their trainer FAs unless it's for other trainer FAs
Hey thanks for your offer! Oak is in high demand, so I’m doing 2-for-1 trades only, just to keep things fair for me You can pick any two cards from my wishlist!
>>58899426In general that's true. I recently traded a spare PCL for rainbow Mimikyu and had tons of offers
>>58899431I don't think I would ever do a 2 for 1 trade. I don't know these people so I don't want to get ripped off. And as for the people I do know, I don't think anyone would ask for something like that and I wouldn't either. We'd just hold onto our cards unless we have spares or don't care about keeping the rarer card if it means getting something we really want.
Why does everyone i battle delay so long putting out their starting basics before the match starts?
thanks for the advice anons performing much better now
bash the head of the faggot who thought Lucky Ice Pop was good game design
>>58899553I dont get it, they made an item that basically just pushes high hp basic pokemon even further. Like if you look at limitless, the variety has gone down the shitter. The only new staple deck is some old greninja brews that use kangaskhan as a finisher. The meta got a bit slower paced, but thats only because all people do is go for one shots since the damage keeps increasing. Almost everything is focused on bench sniping and bringing something in with a cyrus to win. Hydreigon is fhe exception as it just high rolls and auto wins when lucky
>>58899553I swear DeNa put it in the game and set it to a 66 to 75% chance of heads just to get everyone to complain about it so they can say the game doesn't have a tails preference.
>>58899553Nobody uses it when i play
>>58899561This is the side effect when flipping tails has no downside. Like if you use misty/trg and flip tails nothing happens, it feels bad so you FEEL the 50/50 gamble. If you play ice pop there is no gamble lol, its a useful item even if the effect fails. It can also snowball into 80hp if you are lucky.
The game is really trying to get me to play the goon deck
>>58898953I stop as soon as I've completed all solo missions which coincides with 14 days and 1250 pack points to get whatever card I want
>11 winstreak in Expert Random solo>avoid the mode for days since I don't want to break the streak>finally go in again>immediately brickWelp at least I can go in to test with shitty decks again
>>58899569Bruh, I can tell you right now after trying Charizard+Moltres, the most common result was 2 tails 1 heads, followed by 3 tails. Rarely did it ever flip 2 heads 1 tail, and almost never (like twice) did it get 3 heads. Nearly every single Misty trainer I watch people use flips tails the first time. It's like those effects are weighted to be tails.The only coinflips I feel that are truly 50/50 are the sleep ones, since those really do go either way. Confusion is pretty even as well I think. Most of the abilities that flip to poison/sleep are even from what I've seen. But Ice Pop almost ALWAYS at least flips heads the first time, and then most of the time on the second use. I almost never see it one and done, while 2 and done is somewhat common, but 3 or 4 is far more common.
This is my Special BoyThere are many like him, but he is mineI love my special boy even when I lose, and he makes me happy no matter what the meta says.I will never let my Special Boy down, I will always make space for him in my rotations and I will always let him shine.
>>58899606I really like how well its rainbow art turned out. In general, that set had a lot of great ones like Umbreon, Crobat, Kingdra, etc. Rainbow artwork is my favorite to look forward to every set.
>>58899606I like using him and memory light w/ his promo basic's move. It make him even more special
>>58899606Lanturn was the ex I was most excited to see but I haven't played the deck as much as I want to because I don't like any of the Pokemon it's best paired with like Zeraora and Oricorio
>>58899654What about Pichu or Magneton? Those are some other generation options.
>>58899660Pichu dies in one hit leaving Lanturn the sole 2-point attacker which really sucks since it's susceptible to revenge killsI guess I should try Magnezone, even in the bench it can provide support with E Switch
>>58899606Post brew I wanna make him work the rainbow is beautiful
morrowind brew
>Opponent Meowth flips heads 8 times in a row>They consneedI'm still mad
guess I'll just spend the 500 pack points on a kangaskhan... le sigh
>>58897360slaking or snorlax ex
>>58899702can't you find an offer on pokehub or something4D's aren't on that high a demand
>>58899654>>58899666I personally don't run Oricorio (though it might be useful) and I only run one Zeraora and Pichu respectively. I understand not liking Zera, he's all but useless without his ability, but he's an alright Ori counter and that's primarily why he's in there. Pichu is just good ramp if I manage to get him first round, so I've found him to be indispensable to getting my Lanturn online asap. I may just decide to bite the bullet and just run two Magnezones to get Magneton ramp instead, but it's a lot more pokemon added to my deck and I'm not sure which trainer cards to drop for them, so I keep things as is for now
>>58899691How do you get a screen shot like this?
>Make juggler Charizard deck for shits and giggles>Actually fun to pop the card out and bring a 0 energy Charmeleon up to the front as a Charizard EX with 200 damage and usually enough fire energies to throw out 2 more if neededOkay, this is going to be funny to rank up with. Definitely fucked with consistency since Charmeleon not giving Ho-oh an energy ASAP is a huge setback but I've found even with those matches I can get a comeback just from people not taking Juggler into account and assuming Charizard can't come online instantly. They assume the dormant Ho-oh on bench is coming out, only for all its energies to juggle onto Charizard.
>>58899761
Anyone have any extra cinderace? I can't pull or pick one for my life, name your card and I'll likely have it
>>58899812doesnt he have a promo? wait for that
>>58898026It's a huge improvement from before, I didn't say you become free from RNG entirely
>>58899816Oh cool, will do
>>58898449Stay in the game then, pussy
i looked at the datamines and if i'm seeing this right, this is a display boardthis looks fun as hell to play around with
got my double obstagoonsdon't feel like using though cuz he ugly
>>58899839forgot to mention the date>february 6th to february 13th
>>58899839They need to increase the display board and album limits by a fucking lot
Please don't tell me these are exclusive to TCGP...
>>58899888just print them out
>>58899839my side: fully evolved field of pokemonopponent's side: one froakie and suicune on the bench
>>58899888All star cards are.
>>58899929Well...I just died inside.
>>58899839>>58899918my side: Waifusopponent's side: Muk
>>58897824I think this is the biggest version in the files...
>>58899948erm you cant put your waifus on the field sorry
>>58899586The Random Solo is fun.
When you double up on EXs, do you prefer 2 RRs, 2 FAs, or 1 of each?I personally go for Planeta & the Shiny version if applicable.
>>58899980Ideally no dupes and RR > Immersive > Planeta.Shiny is case by case.
>>58899980I don't mix if possible, prefer having a consistent look
>lucky ice pop>heads>lucky ice pop>heads>lucky ice pop>headsI can feel my blood start to boil
whats a anti fun deck?
>>58900141Espeon or Goodra + IndeedeeThings probably hit too hard now though
>>58900141energy denial decks like banette or alolan ninetalesstatus affliction decks that gamble on paralysis or sleep locking like hypno. everyone seems to be attempting to drop pokemon center lady for lucky ice pop so there's an incredible angle to grief people atm.
>>58900174Gyatt dämmerungI bet sticking it in her pussy is like fucking half melted ice cream
Yeah, I'm thinking it's time to bring back yanmega exImagine that, 80 -> 130 damage for 6 energy with the new stadium on two ex mons?please somebody bring back yanmega
>>58899888>3 energy discard 2 energy attack that does 90 damage but guarantees paralysis lmaoJesus, Aurorus got done dirty
>>58900266it's also complete shit in the actual games so it makes sense
>>58899553haven't pulled it, haven't encountered it, waiting...
>>58899589I have a similar thing with mega swampert, where I got it usually discards two energy on my side, and most frequently two energy on mega swampert itself. but this could be a psychological thing, if I wasn't lazy I would actually keep track of it.also anecdotally but I had the same experience you described with moltres, like it's insane how often I got three tails compared to three heads. and with ice pops on the other hands I got incredibly lucky, one time healing a mon for 100 hp
>>58900302Mega Pert would actually be a menace if it discarded 2 energy from anywhere the field except itself. Better off playing Mega Pidgeot if you want to use an energy gimmick
>>58900266The ugly side of the gentle giant trope rearing its ugly head once again, almost as if it's all intentional for bullshit reasons.>>58900277>a pokemon not being good in the games means it shouldn't be good anywhere elseNot even the worst take regarding Pokemon but it's definitely up there. Where did Aurorus touch you for you to say this?
Looking for these cards, specifically two copies of Piers and Diantha. I've got a decent sized collection so just ask if there's something specific you want in return.
>>58900306I didn't say it doesn't deserve to be good anywhere, just that it tracks with its general performance. it still grabed my ass that one time at a christmas party but that has nothing to do with this
>>58900307I'd let go of my Blacephalon but you'd have to wait a month or so while I build up enough dust.
Now that the dust has settled, was this the most overhyped card of the set?
is sightseer goodi still can't get a meta read on it
>>58900317I never saw any hype about it. It looked good but not that good.
>>58900313>just that it tracks with its general performanceSome Pokemon simply don't deserve to be as weak as they are and Aurorus is one of them.Really though I'm not interested in the games that much anymore but it absolutely sucks knowing how diddy'd your favorite is.
>>58900318people have been asking for great ball that pulls stage1s and that's what they got.
>>58900317It rekt me with Drawdaunt pretty badly
>>58900317i found deckbuilding alolan ninetales extremely fungot giga punished too much by enemies playing copycat as a reaction to professor oak so i did the unthinkable and cut him and a bunch of other trainers for items i can hand dump so the enemy effectively have a brick in their hand with their copycatif i can't get copycat or if i feel like they're going to use rare candy or ilima, then i shotgun red cardand and try to brick them. this deck is inherently cheese so lean into it by being disruptive to delay their plays
>>58900378Sweets relay can do some funny shit now that the new Vanilluxe is here.
any jugglerkino decks?
I don’t think I’ve ever felt so helpless in this damn game lmao
>>58900523Piece of shit card. Who thought it would be interesting to have it around? The greninja guy i bet
Finally encountered one of those random solo CPU decks that was fully blinged out wit 2* supporters, crowns, immersives and glossy cards
yooooi have no idea who this pokemon is but their rainbow rare art looked neat
Give me good slaking ideas. im running a generic deck with pichu and oricorio and it sucks dick, I feel like slaking is very close to being "OK"
Alright chinks go to bed so I can stop playing Forced Loss Simulator
>>58900620Pick one between Comfey and Ogerpon.
>>58900620Pair it with either Oger or Comfee to negate his ability. I suggested mismagius before
>>58900620don't listen to them and add lum berry x 2 instead
>>58900638I completely forgot about this thing.
does the game briefly lag for anyone else when they pull a shiny?
>>58900647The game slows to a crawl for me sometimes when I'm just browsing the card catalog and clicking on cards
Fuck dena with this hag shit. Anyone have an english rainbow alolan ninetales ex? Wanna trade for diantha?
Of all the Types needing Ramp/Mobility/Searching buffs it was NOT FUCKING PSYCHIC
>>58900754We back in Gen 1 now.
Looking for only Chesnaught and Blacephalon EX now.
>>58900754once primal groudon, kyogre and mega rayquaza take the field in the anniversary set next month psyKEKs will be gone
>>58900726Would you take a rainbow mega Lopunny, Guzzlord, Jumpluff, or mega Venusaur for it?
>>58900726Yeah I do5724660079299367Send it
>>58900817Let me add you real quick
>>58897204>>58897204is it me or did we get a LOT less purple clocks this expac around? I got 12 for the first fight of step-up battles advanced and then nothing and last expac I would've gotten like 35 for these PvE duels
>>58900135I feel like it should have worked like Misty - coin flips until tails, then discarded. At least it's not so time-consuming.
>>58897204I need more birds!!
>>58900830You get a total of 120 from the randoms+regular solo battles. Only the first solo battle in every tier gives out pack glasses.
>>58900817>>58900828So, no trade?
>>58900858doesnt random solo expire though?
>>58900879Yeah, this is them trying to curb how many hourglasses new accounts get while not affecting active players too much. It's pretty scummy.
>>58900867Ive sent it now, sorry im at work
Is this the worst meta yet? Idk how all these new strong looking cards fell off for more greninja shit
>>58900982Because they're not stronger than the frog sniping you from the bench so Cyrus can grab your ass for easy points.
>>58900836Discard but return to hand at end of your turn if heads
>>58900989You know you guys complain about this scenario a whole lot but desu this almost never happens to me. Most of the time when I’m vs Greninja it’s just them getting extra damage for free each turn. Which still is annoying. But it’s usually the other stuff on their board that’s way more threatening. I almost never get sniped into cyrus out the gate. Most decks don’t even run double Cyrus any more. Idk I think you guys really over exaggerate greninja’s ability
>>58901034That's just you being a retard.
we need more deck space.
>>5890107930 cards and 5 point games, otherwise we'll be stuck with the current meta until the game dies.
Ayup, Fossils are still dogshitFagpardos is the one exception
>>58901084Kabutops and Omastar had some success during TL.
This game was designed around 20 cards and 3 points you morons, its never gonna change for years. >>>5 pointsOh yeah time to ko 2 megas or 3 basic ex pokemon to win a game oh boy
>>58901087Yeah, I'd like the games to actually be games instead of being forced to run the same deck until EoS.
>>58901087I'd rather have that than the outcome of the game being decided by you """winning""" the first coinflip
>>58901087If they are not lazy they could just add a lobby for 20 card decks.
>>58901089>>58901095The game would turn out worse because you break the fundamental game design. Do you think greninja decks wouldnt get more broken if you allowed more cards? Deck expansion wont happen until maybe 2030 when the game gets really old.
>>58901119I got a great idea, it's called "Update the game and fucking nerf the asshole."
>>58901133Obviously i agree, poncho is a failed card. I got so pissed over it not protecting in the active spot, that means you still get hit by frog pings, jolteon and darkrai while in the active spot. Its utility is too niche
>>58901084>Ayup, Fossils are still dogshitThey have a stick up their asses regarding fossil Pokemon be it the games, TCG, or anime.It's not like fossil Pokemon no longer being subjected to humiliation rituals is going to resurrect Adolf Hitler. SOME PEOPLE WANT TO USE TYRANTRUM OR AURORUS IN A COMPETITIVE SETTING WITHOUT BULLSHIT.
Looking at the last couple tourney results and it really has settled in that the new set has flopped tremendously. How is DarkTina stronger now than it was during the last two seasons? DeNa has no idea how to fix this game.
>>58901182They introduced lucky ice pop, and 2 stadium cards that greatly benefit darkrai and giratina thats what happened lol. Ice pop has effectively introduced 2 huge problems, chip damage occasionally being irrelevant and damage ranges for a ko being random. Indeedee is already cancer as it makes chip damage shitter, so you cant make progress against bulky ex Pokemon with weak attackers. Now ice pop can just randomly heal something for 60 hp and the odds arent even low.
>>58901182I think due to Stadium card surely and maybe poncho? Still it's impressive, I thought that deck was dead
>>58900638>spend 2+ turn setting up in best case scenario>card can only cleanly attack twice sasuga
>search casual>match into a level 60 jap who finished deluxe>dark energy>go firstYeah, you can wait out the disconnect timer.
>>58901197Yes, I understand why its stronger. I am just saying that they failed spectacularly at making any new deck like Guardevoir able to match previous meta decks like Suicoon, Hydreigoon etc.
What do you think the dark stadium will be like? Maybe something like a card limit for the both player's hand, rest get sent back to deck?
>>58901212>opponent turn 2, pichu up front, kanga and froakie on bench?Yeaup, that's a disconnect
>>58900762Chesnaught won me so many clutch games what a bro
>>58901231for me, it's boost eevee turn 1 to jolteon ex fuck that
Dena has this tendency of not really introducing proper counters to broken stuff and you just kind of have to hope it phases itself out naturally (it won’t). During the darkrai giratina era, we legit never got a single option that was effective darkrai ping, we still don’t have one. Now we are here with darkrai giratina getting cards that bring it back into the meta, which initially got pushed out due to mega pokemon. Still no counter to darkrai ping aside from maybe indeedee, and greninja + cyrus is still the most deadliest combo this game endures.
>>58901257I think honchcrow was their attempt to counter darktina, which nobody usedSame with the poncho, which doesn't really help vs greninja since decks are already so tight
>>58901266Honchcrow is too fragile to work, 100 hp not enough.
>>58901231holy BASED
Do you guys think I can snag a future shiny Mega Garde for shiny Umbreon/Sylveon?
>>58900982Grenigga and Cyrus are pure Cancer cards, this meta may never recover
You don't have to ban GreninjaBanning Froakie will do
>>58901322Greninja EX isn't annoying at all, and a future Greninja could actually be cool, so just ban the current grenninjer.
There is only one hero who can dethrone the frog...
>>58901353They'll fix it with a stadium card that nullifies benched Pokemon abilities.
>>58901374More like an hero
>>58901374You mean Greninja #2?
>>58901382Does Cyrus exist in TCG?
>>58901411Yeah, but he doesn't ask for things to be damaged before grabbing them.
>>58901411Not as it is in Pocket. There are cards that have the same effect. Some are Items.
>>58901411Called Boss Order, and there's several versions with the same effect, for the Evil Team Bosses.
>>58901411Also the "Catcher" items, they usually have some condition to be played instead of straight up working like the Supporters.Some require coin flips, some require you having more prizes left, some require you to swap your active at the same time, etc.
>>58901211>card can only cleanly attack twiceAll it really needs ideally. It needs a way to actually fuckin get energy more than it does a way to actually wake up
Also this little fucker came in Base Set.This effect on a freely playable card was never reprinted.
Somehow, mega kangastan bounce spam is still less cancerous and more fun to deal with than hydra mega absol faggotry
>mega kanga this>mega kanga that>my venusaur getting tickled for 60+20 damage then 2 shotting it to death
>>58901453Well yeah, Mega Kang suffers from helmets twice.
>>58897204FINALLY!!!!
>>58901411Yes but keep in mind that the real TCG has more prize points. Cyrus is devastating in pocket because of the low prize count. Its not hard to set up a checkmate
>2nd Bird at 170 through Hitmonspam>Sab or Cyrus still wins>Figured Gio would be more appropriate given the TypePutting this on the fridge, actually kill yourself AltariaNIGGER
>>58901474that's what I thought, with 6 prize it's actually not only balanced but healthy for the meta
>>58901438but it doesn't. 150 twice doesn't cut it at all
>>58901511Scumbag shit exists in the real tcg but yes, you can afford to lose cards where you cant in pocket. Baby decks are unappealing to me because you sacrifice a prize points for momentum which sometimes may not matter.
Kanga getting clowned on fills me with absolute joy.
>>58901619>steel energy>botion in the yardBruh, you're clowning on toddlers.
Is there a reason why buzzwole keeps getting shilled as heckin viable? This deck feels like total dogshit in queue right now. It does 0 damage, and indeedee heals off any chip you do in the front. It cant even ko mega gard ever so you are shit into meme tier decks. The win rate against suicune is also abysmal why would you ever play this
Has a deck been made with the new Guzzlord yet? The card effect seems especially interesting but I haven't seen anyone running it yet
>>58901619What's your brew? I've been playing the poison build and it's good fun
>>589017964 energy for a 50% chance to do nothing and in inability to earn points its kind of way too steep
>>58901229Psychic gets Phoebe's stadium so maybe Dark will get Sidney's
>>58901981Dead on arrival.
>>58898218What the fuck? When did they start having limited time flair
>>58902039Literally the second month of the game being out.
