It's not bad
Maybe doesn't need 2 copycat but it doesn't work at all without serp
90 is also just little enough damage for the opponent to keep themselves alive for another turn with ice pop!

>>58974812
Running against time, I forgot to change PW cardlist's URL. Sorry.
It should be: https://www.pokemon-zone.com/sets/b2a/

>>58975062
I can't believe you've done this.
Irredeemable. Banned forever.

why do EX drop rates feel so bad lately?

>>58975152
Law of Large Numbers.
For every person that opens 12 packs and doesn't get an ex, someone else opened 12 and got 2.
The thing is, the person that didn't get any is more likely to post complaining about it than the person that got 2 to post boasting.

>>58974840
Meh, gholdengo meow and chien pao are fun but they are just not that good

>>58975201
Or the game's algorithm is not as random as they advertise it to be and they have reduced rates because lower rates (that still feel attainable) mean more long-term engagement.

>>58975424
I mean, if anyone suspects that the disclosed odds are not correct and sues them, they would get absolutely fucked, specially on EU ground.

>>58975669
Asian markets also take those very serious. Lots of (cheaply made, sure, but still) chinese games got shut down after Korean government started cracking down on false percentages.

>>58975201
From 22 packs my alt got
>4 EX
>1 1*
>1 Full art
>1 Rainbow
>2 Immersive
>1* and 1** shiny
God damn alt is SUCCIN all the luck from my main

>>58975152
I pulled 50 packs between my accounts and only saw 3 EX (all 3 were chien-Pao, heh). My fantastical parade was equally bad, relying on mostly WP to get a copy of all EX in that set.

why do the pokemon in this set feel off? It feels like there’s a disconnect between the recent designs. It’s almost like half of them belong in digimon.

Thanks for the 120 hourglasses DeNa.

No I will not use them on Paldea.

>>58976884
Belibolt is fun though, and might be kinda good actually

>>58976884
Same

Can anyone trade Mewscarda ex? My cards are JPN if that bothers you.

Still baffles me that 10 pulls doesn't guarantee you anything in this game. Every other gacha has a guarantee 10-pull giving something like "Guaranteed Super Rare!" or "Guaranteed 4-Star Recruit!". Meanwhile Pocket Devs are floundering like "WHY ARE WE LOSING PLAYERS???". Gee, maybe players don't like saving up 2 weeks worth of resources for a 10--pull just to get 50 1-diamond rarity cards.

>>58977141
>Dena gives away three 10-packs
>Revenue goes down once everyone blows ~$30 worth of pulls and sees that it gets you next to nothing in this game
please god it would be so fucking funny

>>58977331
I feel like at the very least you should get a guaranteed 4-diamond/EX in a 10-pull. You know, the most necessary cards to play in versus mode? But nah DeNA got so fucking greedy they couldn't even do what other gacha games do with offering a guarantee system with their 10 pulls.
What do 10 pulls offer you in Pocket? Nothing. It just lets you open 10 packs at once. That's it. No wonder player retention is fucking ass.

The only deck I ever use anymore is Cusola/Dusknoir.

Because I figure so long as DeNa's going to release shitty packs with obnoxious powercreep, and all the whalecattle are going to eat it up, I'm going to make the experience be as miserable as fucking possible for them that their whole "double Indeedee, double Mega Steelix, double Heavy Helmet" strategy shit can end in one coin flip.

>>58977683
>>58978098
Npc ass responses.

Quick question because I have a bunch of people from here added.
Would people get mad if I shared 1/2 diamond cards that you're missing from the new set, assuming it's like 10 or 15 minutes away from daily reset?

>>58977076
Sorry, I only got a bunch of copies of ching chong ex and no other ex mons.

>>58978657
I'm never mad when I get cards I don't have.

>>58976604
kek, maybe I'm just greedy, but I felt that 120 hourglasses is too few. 30 Packs is great. But it should also be 30 packs worth of hourglasses.

>>58978762
It is.
you get 120 at day one, 120 at day 15, and 120 at day 30.
And then a bunch of random packs throughout the month, totaling 48 packs.

>>58976641
Its crazy they don't understand
All they have to do is start making new sets that aren't 90% pack filler and actually gives people motivation to pull, build new decks, and play the game.

Its not a coincidence that people started losing interest in the game during the long stretches where the meta was most stagnant and unfun. How do they not realize this.

Game could really benefit from a new format or game mode if they're not willing to stop shitting the bed on their sets.

>>58978792
Unironically, I think that's what they tried to do with the Random Battle challenge thing.
They did however astronomically missed the mark, but that

>>58978938
>but that
but that doesn't really surprised me given how many bad decisions they had made since launch.

I don't know what's happening, I keep sendind messages without finishing them. Annoying.

>>58978792
>build new decks, and play the game.
You need to understand that most people don't do this and never will. Most players just want to pull cards and open packs. They should lean more into the collecting aspect instead of the battling.

Has there ever been a gacha game that adjusts pull rates later down the line, or is there like a legal thing preventing that? I'm pretty sure that would immediately get people playing and paying again, especially if they discounted gold at the same time.

>>58978957
Yeah, gacha games adjust drop rates all the time.
Pocket has "yada yada things are subject to change at any moment yada yada" in a bunch of places.

Almost every WP is people opening old packs already ffs

>>58976604
they are trying to boost sales by giving f2ps a lot of free packs to get them used to the nice 10 pack opening feel and entice them to pay

>>58979134
YEP holy shit

>>58978938
Random battles are fine to me
>>58978951
I'm one of those who finds PvP a chore, and really really want a lot more display board and album slots

>bax and chien pao are doing well in tourneys
wow this place was wrong again

>>58979176
They are fine to me as well, but they're not the new gamemode we need to be attractive enough to ensure people keep playing.

>>58979197
why did they give a basic mon the ability to snipe for 130 for 3 energies? especially a water type that has incredible energy generation tools already
I'm nor saying it's too broken and such but you cannot do this after poor Gigalith EX needs 2 evos and 4 fighting Energies to deal 140 + skips a turn without any real possibility of retreating. I'm just mad

>>58979271
Its only usae because bax lets relax

Yes thank you dear friend for sharing that 1-diamond Wishiwashi from the deluxe pack so I can't share shit from my alt, I really needed that.

>>58978657
I've been doing that for some time now, I reckon if they haven't gotten a daily share and it's close to reset then there's no harm in sending something they don't have. I don't think anybody has unfriended me for it yet.

What I want the most is some improvements to game performance. It seriously runs like shit (in my phone at least). It takes literally like 30 seconds from clicking on a particular solo battle to the deck confirmation screen. How is that even possible? This game is mostly just menus and static screens, it shouldn't run so badly.

Why is Penny the first trainer to get an alt art, did they forget they already released her in Eevee Grove?

>>58979600
It's a Paldean themed set, if you haven't noticed. Iono also got one.

You definitely need a better phone. The cards and menus are animated at a high number of frames per second (for a phone), and it's all 3D-rendered, instead of just slapping 2D images on top of each other.

>>58981388
I'd think most A/B tier FA trainers/RR pokémon would be enough given Nemona itself is not a particularly great card.

Aegislash (steel) and orthwurm are actually a pretty decent combo. Fat Fuck can start swinging for good damage and he can conceivably be alive long enough to do it once if you can rare candy your back row by turn two

>>58981452
Would dropping the Red for a second Will not be better?
Feel like getting a guaranteed 160 is better than having a 50/50 for 100/180.

>>58981498
There are times where I need to field that aegis if I dont have a tinkaton ready. So then he'll be able to swing for 120
Then Will can guarantee one surefire heavy swing from the EX
I usually try to cover all possibilities instead of focusing on one because I feel worse if I didn't have the option in the deck vs it just being stapled to the bottom of the deck.

I've opened 168 packs with no 2 star and I'm still missing Arboliva.

>>58975152
they deliberately nerfed pull rates and bloated pack sizes after introducing the 24hr pack mechanic because they saw people finished CB in a matter of days and got 20+ 2* wonderpicks which was no bueno

>>58982152
They didn't nerf pull rates.

Kek got a 30 turn game against oricorio using venu/indee
He got really lucky with his coin flips and ice pops

Fuck Paldea

>>58982377
Sounds awful

I hate how oricorio steelix is still better than orthworm steelix builds and here I thought orthworm would give more value to steel types than dialga.

>>58982661
It doesn't make sense for that worm to not at least hit for 30 to kill babies while also adding steel energy

>>58982671
the problem I have with the worm is that its retreat cost is too high and it doesn’t add value on turn one. dialga provides more energy in the long run and I’d rather run babies to generate energy for steel pokémon that aren’t too energy restrictive. the only good thing about the worm is that it only costs one point.

I opened 140 fucking packs, the fact I never got a Mega Gardevoir from its own fucking set gives me despair.

All those are reprints.

Hydreigon should've been like Flareon EX, you can take energies from discard pile, not generate new ones. This would make it just strong instead of broken

Bellibolt ex + Magnezone?
Fat frog attacks and GA Magneton gathers energy on bench so that fat frog can attack even harder. It's too slow, isn't it?

>>58986480
Zeraora + BelliEX + Pichu dishes out 140 on turn 2 if you get the combo

>>58986551
But you have nothing to fall back to if you don't get the combo. And I'm not someone who ever gets the combo. Any combo.

Probably the opposite.
If every 10 wins gave you, say, 100 dust, people would be way more sweaty even on the casual queue and it would be way less enjoyable to play.

Whether or not to consider playable=good thats on you.

Its a really good card, idk why this place is so apprehensive. The set when it comes to artwork is beyond lazy and worrying for the games before, but this set is already better than the last 2 expansions when it comes to card viability

i hate the current meta
chudjakshirt.png

>>58989590
Bax suicune dominated a 500 man tourney today so no.

>>58989590
suininja can often struggle to snipe mons, as suicune is generally quite weak after some mons have gone down on either side and using greninja ex to do the killing blow necessitates pulling both your candies. chien pao not needing cyrus to snipe means it can't be cucked by absol or mars, as long as it's on the field you can blast for 130. if you do get both bax up it's also entirely possible to just keep it in hand until needed which makes it impossible for the opponent to respond to. the deck is also less weak going first as an early bax lets suicune swing before the opponent can evolve.
whether it's better remains to be seen, but it's certainly a viable alternative.

>>58989822
I find that the bonus is also not having to run double cyrus, which means 2 free slots in your deck.

Good, may this teach Gamefreak to drop this type of "character". Hell, the people they were trying to "appeal to" completely ignored Penny and instead focused on Iono just because the colors of her hair although they dropped her immediately when Nintendo itself told them to GTFO.

I had a quick growth and pokeball in my discard...

No one can convince me the rates haven't been lowered
>law of large numbers
Numbers that you haven't seen.

>>58992317
I'm also 100% certain they turned the pvp algo up to max because I have never bricked as much as I have during this event and not just "oh I didn't get pokeball t1" either, I'm talking hard bricks vs opponents with perfect t1 combo hands that are optimal for whatever position they started in. No meme decks either, I'm just using the same decks I used last meta (adapted for ice pop). Speaking of ice pop, the matches where I don't just inta-brick t1 have to deal with ice pop bs which has made damage calcs impossible.
They looked at the garbage pvp meta this game had and decided to make it even worse.

>>58992317
I don't think they've been changed, they've just always been shit. Secluded Springs went about as well for me as FP and PW have. I went almost 2 weeks in that set without a single ex.

Seriously who designed this fucking card? Who thought it was a good idea to give an already rng-heavy game a potential infinite heal? Knowing and planning for damage ranges was one of the very few bits of strategy this game had and now this one card has completely killed that with 0 ways to counter it.

>>58993111
It's from the paper game.

They are fucking ugly and not fun to collect from a casual perspective. I stopped pulling from this set specifically because the Pokemon and Trainers were so hideous.

Paldea is disgusting.

>>58992921
Eat shit. not the same Anon, but I'll give my opinion as the disgusting pay-pig I am.
Normally, with each new expansion, I open around 70 to 80 packs on the first two days, after which I usually fill almost all the diamond cards from that expansion, "especially the EX cards." I must emphasize that when they implemented the 24-hour WP in Crimson Blaze, due to the speed at which I usually complete the set, I managed to double the number of 2-star cards I normally get, all thanks to 24-hour WP. The change in drop rates was very noticeable after Fantastical Parade, especially for the 4-diamond EX cards. Even though I have three alt accounts plus my main account (where I spend a large amount of money monthly), I didn't manage to complete the set until mid month, even with the Share and Trade options.

If you're going to act like a fucking obtuse piece of shit because "There's no solid evidence," you can shove all the microplastics in the world up your ass since "it can't yet be proven harmful to humans." You miserable bastard, hope you get colon cancer.

Reminder to anyone that suspects the disclosed odds are incorrect.
You can make a shitton of money if you sue them and end up being right.

>>58993570
>i had an unlucky personal experience so that must be the norm because i can't understand the concept of a statistical outlier
i had.both immersives in a single non-godpack during fantastical parade so actually they must have buffed the rates and i didnt just get really lucky right?
idiot

>>58989553
BaxCune sounds way weaker than GrenCune but who knows

>>58993570
FP had the same odds to get each type of card, but it was a full set put into a single pack so it was way harder to get what you actually wanted.

>>58993856
And even that got somewhat mitigated by being able to trade stuff from day 1.

>>58993871
Somewhat, but not entirely. When nobody is getting the ex cards, let alone 3+ of the same one, people aren't likely to be trading them for others. Most of the ex cards I got last set were simply sent from all my alts.

>>58993901
If the odds of getting each type of card are the same, how can you claim nobody is getting ex cards?

>>58993926
Specific copies of an ex card, or getting enough to have more than a playset. You can pull 18 ex cards and still miss 1 of them while not having enough to trade for the last one without losing a playset.
Of course, you can make the argument that you don't need a playset of everything, but 18 ex cards is extremely unlikely.

>>58992854
The algorithm is deck-based. If you use whatever has the highest win rate/use rate, you will be actively fucked over to give lesser decks wins. Switch to something off-meta and you'll notice a massive improvement.

>>58993940
Yeah sure, but the same has been true since the first set.
That's not something new to FP or PW.

>>58993957
It's not the same. Aside from SR, there has never been that many ex cards in a single pack. FP's problem was that it tried to stuff over 200 cards into a single pack.

>>58993975
I'm talking about ending up with 3+ copies of one ex while having 0 of another.

>>58993987
Of course it can happen, but it's much less likely to get triplicates of a card in FP than it is in nearly every other set. Because of that, people aren't likely to trade new cards for old. Why would they? It's way easier to get playsets of older cards.
You end up with a situation in where people want to trade a FP ex for a FP ex, but nobody has the trade fodder to do so.

>>58994013
I don't think the average changes that much though.
Take a set with similar number of cards to FP, WSS, but divided into 2 packs.
To get 20 exs, which gives you enough to at least trade to get 2 of each, you still need to open 240 packs.
The only difference is that in WSS, you open 120 of each.

>>58993297
Prove what? I did not make any claims.

Water ching chong is still the only ex I opened from this pack. At 5 copies now.

>>58994029
It's simply easier to get the cards you need from other sets because the single pack isn't so congested.

>>58983833
Kek

>>58994365
Yeah, I agree.
We're both arguing about different things at this point.
You're saying that getting the cards yourself is easier with separate packs, which is true.
And I'm saying the amount of average packs you need to open to get x amount of cards is the same between sets regardless if they're 1 or 2 packs, which is also true.

>>58993822
It is, yeah. Cause with GrenCune you're waiting on your stage 2's to come out just so you can ping and Cyrus out for the kill. With BaxCute, you're waiting on your stage 2's just as a SUPPORT to accelerate Chingchong-dog, who can still snipe without their help just very slowly. Because Xiaomi-dog does so much damage with its snipe, chances are you don't even need to Cyrus out for the kill. But it's not like you won't be running Cyrus anyway, just in case, so...

tl;dr - Greninja isn't a true snipe, it's just throwing a pebble for you to finish using Suicune. Kung-Pao-Dog actually snipes for the kill with his wok.

Hate to say it but I think this update was...good for the meta? Like we all wanted groundbreaking metashaking cards mostly because last meta was absolute cancer and we wanted to move on from it. Under normal circumstances, I think incremental meta pushes is actually healthy, rather than a n update that completely centralizes the meta into the newest hot 2 cards on the block.

So the new cards aren't all that great, but good enough that they add to the meta without particularly drowning it. Problem is we all really hate the fucking last meta.

>>58994739
This happens in the real TCG. Pocket players are just not used to it, yet.

>>58994795
If they were to add one single card to this set that would make it a perfect addition, it'd be a basic mon with the ability to damage opponents every time they use an item. Completely negate Lucky Ice Pop. Fuck that card. Without that card I'd actually say the meta is in a good spot. Hydranigger isn't too big of a deal when it actually kills itself as intended to be OP as shit. Even putting Heal Block on a basic would be worth it. Putting that shit on Claydol was such a fucking miss. Nobody is running 4 fucking card slots on some piece of shit that's literally only useful for healblocking. You're likely to just brick with that shit, or only ever get it when you don't need it anymore.

Icepop would be more balanced if it just had a HOPT on it

My ice pop always flips tails :(

The way I got 24hr WPs from Parade (besides being quite lucky and spending a lot of dust) was flipping singles of EXes I wasn't going to play after registering them, and I'm still missing three of them
I'm not spending HGs for Paldean beyond the initial 10pull, and I have gotten way fewer 3diamonds than last month, but I'm attributing that to my luck regressing rather than thinking they nerfed the rates

What's better for Bellibolt? Magneton/zones or Zeraoras?

>>58996348
I'm wondering the same thing. I just don't see how the zeraora is better than magnezone especially when you can draw magnemite with Lisia and Megaton with Clemont.

Why is there such a stigma in the pocket community when it comes to using the best meta decks? People will seethe at your for using cards that are in the game.

>>58996478
Magneton has more support options, but Zeraora is simply faster. The deck with the highest win rates in tournaments right now is running 2 frogs and squirrels, and 1 Pichu.

>>58996560
>squirrels
Is that zeraora? Also maybe magnezone variety has too many mons and not enough supportee/items cards. Something I did consider.

>>58996544
It's a casual oriented game, it will attract casuals.
These people wouldn't last 3 months playing MTG.

>>58996572
Well you can pull Tadbulb and Magnemite both with Lisia, and you have Clemont and Sightseer to thin the deck. I've had good enough luck with Zeraora.

I can still remember the sound of him screaming, both when I was grabbing him in the game and when he saw me with the knife at his tires. I'd have fucked up the employee's car too, if I knew which one it was.
