Hard Coat Edition

>I want to learn the game, where do I begin?
Download PTCGL at https://tcg.pokemon.com/en-us/tcgl
The game has a quick tutorial and a bunch of decent decks to get you started against other beginners or against the AI. Some of those decks are very close to meta too. You can also go to your local game store and see if people are playing Pokémon.

>I know how to play, how do I make my own deck?
You have a decent beginner's guide at https://www.justinbasil.com/guide
There's also the old /tcg/ guide at https://imgur.com/a/W4NkOu6
After that, look up meta decks and try to reverse engineer them to see how things work.

This being an item instead of a supporter is great.
Sure, you won't get to shuffle your hand like the Stamp, but you still force your opponent to lose their hand to the bottom of the deck and only have 3 random cards.
The fact that this can be spammed from 3 prizes onward makes it great. Not only because you can use it immediately after losing your Mega, but even for single prize decks that can technically use it for 3 turns.

If people stop playing judge, that means dragapult always gets to keep their 10 card hand because they are going to set up 4-prize turns to win the game and deny the opponent's red card.

Now that I think about it, most Munki decks have leeway to put a watchtower or two.

At least the Red Card gives you 3 cards.
Late game Iono left you with 2 or even 1.
>>
>>59018761
yeah and iono was useful the entire game. I think it's probably closer to roxanne
>>
>>59018776
And roxanne was amazing. This on an item card is honestly broken
It's not even two sided like iono so you can't brick yourself either. If you red card them lategame, ko something. You have your entire hand+prize cards the following turn. Whereas before you'd need to iono yourself down to 2-4

Why my Live matches always have issues in the morning, but are fine in the evening once I come back home?
>>
>>59018555
It's bad that I think this card is actually okay? It hits 290 without discarding energy or anything.
>>
>>59019319
It bricks if they attack you. Discarding energy is far bigger of an upside. They can hit you for 200+ and now you're just doing <90 damage back.
Lucario's can't attack is easily dealt with by switching. Manectric discarding 2 is well worth the 330 dmg

And if you're doing oricorio to wally heal and replace the energy why are you bothering with pyroar at that point instead of just charizard or even camerupt

>>
>>59019346
Well, all these end up discarding after attacking but not Pyroar. You would still keep your energy on hand after Wally. I'm not sure how the deck would go but I think there's a way to play it with moderate success.
>>
>>59019402
Again, energy recovery is a lot more reliable than requiring a supporter to even do any damage each turn. It's possible to get energy back through various means, but if you miss a wally you're actually just bricked. Plus you give up your supporter for turn so no gusting
Tanking decks only work when they're cheap attackers or have built in draw like kanga did. Pyroar is a stage1+3 energy+oricorio 2 prizer liability on bench. Even while trying to tank you still have oricorio there for your opponent to eat

I hope you just think that those decks are cancer because they are annoying with their Archer spamming (which the crows don't do that much anyways) and not because you are constantly losing against them. There is something severly wrong with your deck building if it's the former.

Rocket spidops decks are good against Zoroark and can somewhat have a decent match against Dragapult, but they get absolutely destroyed by any deck that heavily uses Froslass and Munkidori.
Against Mega Lucario, is a matter of who builds faster (2 Spidops attacks are safer than using the Mewtwo unless you can use energy switch), but Mega Lucario has an easier time thanks to the gongs.

The points you gather before master rank is not the elo you damn retard.
Once you reach master rank, the game will assign you 1500 elo and will pair you with people who have similar elo points.
You will only find shitter decks at 1500-1600 elo. That's why you only meet shitty decks once you reach Master rank.
From 1600 elo you will start to get paired with real decks.

If you're new just avoid any deck focused around these pokemon cards. The trainers can always be substituted if the pokemon remain in format.

>run deck with alakzam, mimikyu and dusknoir
>get matched with opponents running battle cage and mist energy
yeah, this game matches you with AI decks that specifically counter your decks
know another client that does this shit
>>
I think Mega Absol looks fun, do you guys recommend any lists so I can start learning?
>>
>>
>>59025891
I miss once-per-game/deck effects. The Ace Specs felt short-lived; they made a couple really good ones and a lot of ones that aren't worth using, so it feels like there's less of them than there are. I'd like another one-of type of card for the deck.
>>
>>59025912
I've seen about 12/29 be commonly used, and a few more crop up in rogue decks. It feels like the designers were too scared to make them overpowered as one-off items but went too far the other way with a lot of them. Cards like Dangerous Laser and Deluxe Bomb feel like they were left deliberately weak to prevent future cards from creating an OP combo, but those cards were just never made.

Mega absol is an anti meta deck so the lists are going to change depending on the environment, but picrel is similar to the one's I've seen online and irl the most and doesn't have too many weird 1 of techs in it like typical mega absol box decks have.
>>
>>59025137
>>59026225
Keep in mind that it loses quite a few important pieces after rotation listed here >>59024573 like Arven, Penny, Bravery Charm, Turbo Energize, and Nest Ball.
There are some ways to replicate them such as TR Transceiver + Petrel for Arven and Mega Audino for Turbo Energize, but its not the same.
>>
>>59026247
Mega Audino reminds me of Arceus V, but I don't that thing being coin flip dependant and a 3 prizer.
At least, with 3 coin flip, the there is at least 7/8 chances of getting 2 energies.
>>
>>59026288
On live it's 1/8 because I never flip heads.
>>
>>59026329
I use a Rocket Kangaskhan as a tech agaisnt Cornerstone.
Only start with the khan so I pass doing nothing.
Opponent uses Budew and a poffin to bring his dreepy.
I use Lillie to at least try to get something, but are 4 transceiver I can't use, Giovanni that are useless here and a rocket energy. Try to get rid of the Budew to at least be able to use the my transceiver.
Khan first attack does 4 coin toss, hitting 30 for each head. 15/16 to knockout the Budew.
TAIL TAIL TAIL TAIL.
Fuck you Live (still won because my opponent doesn't know how to play a Dragapult deck and I got lucky later by getting a Rocket energy, a Mimikyu and Clefairy when I only needed 3 prizes to win).

Wow guys it was soooo hecking difficult winning coinflips! Now the real coinflips begin!!!
>>
>>59026626
You will only find fun decks at 1400 elo.
From 1600 elo onwards you only see the same decks again and again which is Dragapult and Dragapult and Dragapult with some Lucario side dish.
>>
>>59026688
Not him, but my probably 80% of my ladder was Lucario and Dragapult. I swapped to Crustle because I was tired of playing almost nothing but Dragapult and then didn't queue into a single Dragapult game because the next ~6 games were decks that conveniently have consistent outs to Crustle. Shit game.
>>
>>59026626
I don't think anyone ever said that reaching master rank was hard, rather everyone agree that it's ridiculously easy to the point that you can do it even with the premade decks.
>>
>>59026715
Yeah lol he's incredibly retarded. He was made fun of precisely because it's so easy that talking about things without having done even that is laughable, and somehow his takeaway was thinking we were saying it's hard.
>>
If your ladder experience sucks know that it's because you're on US servers. It's punishment for being American. Nintendo is deliberately ensuring you queue against decks that counter yours as penance for you helping elect Trump and making them lose money.
>>
Olives have no counters
>>
>you can't say bad thing because you no high rank!
>you high rank? well akshually we made fun of you!
read these a million times
you're as predictable and bland as every dragapult lucario grasslop deck
>>
>>59026785
Why does it bother you that people want to play good decks?
>>
Just got interested in this recently....
I have a handful of First Editions and Gen 4 stuff I picked up as a kid, but it's all a little bent and scuffed and maybe worth $50 total due to damage.
I don't care I never want to sell it's purely sentimental.
And that's thing. I just want cards I think are neat, just a binder or two to look through.
But there is basically nowhere in my country online or in irl retail stores that has anything in stock. Never. The shelves are always barren.
Yet when I look into what's new and worth collecting now, I see endless 40 year old Gen Xers dressed like redditors with AI generated profile pictures who have hoarded 50 copies of whatever the latest ETB is, they will never open a single pack, and they onions out about it with a smugness that makes me want to beat them to death.
No real point. I just want to piss all over people who have boxes on boxes on boxes they'll never touch.
>>
>>59026795
It doesn't. That version of me you're trying to meme doesn't even exit but you need to cope.
No wait, you're making fun of me and you totally epic trolled me because i replied?
yeah, damn, i'm never taking back the 30 seconds i needed to type this out!
Damn, if only i was posting on my phone like all the cool uncaring epic trolls do!
>>
>>59026809
You seem like a miserable person.

Another bland, unoriginal projection.
Figures.

But no, i feed on (you)r misery
>>
>>59026803
This is the thread for playing the game, /tcc/ is the one for collecting. I agree with your sentiment that scalpers are gay retards but this is the wrong thread to complain in.
>>
>I see endless 40 year old Gen Xers dressed like redditors with AI generated profile pictures who have hoarded 50 copies of whatever the latest ETB is, they will never open a single pack, and they onions out about it with a smugness
No, Anon is the exact thread.
>>
I just hope that retard won't create a new solarfag.
>>
Personally, after reaching max rank, i wouldn't recommend this game to anyone.
Insane that people play this absolute trash of a unironical coinflip simulator competitively.
>>
>>59026706
Not having any outs against Cruslte and Cornerstone is the epitome of a shit deck anwyays.
>>
>>59026955
So... Dragapult?
>>
>>59026988
Dragapults can't damage Crustle unless they are benched.
Dragapults needs to attack with their Drakloak, explode their Dusknoirs or actually attack with the Dusknoirs.
>>
Dragapult and Cynthia are literal ygo decks
>>
>>59027002
Yes. That's why I brought up Dragapult as evidence to the contrary. Mega Absol also has no way to beat Crustle consistently, same with Charizard, Raging Bolt (unless it runs Lopunny), Joltik, Gholdengo, etc. It's a lot more nuanced than having an out to the card because Crustle is incredibly inconsistent, but the card as is fundamentally counters a lot of the top decks at the moment and when it gets enough tools to be consistent they'll probably reprint Cologne.
>>
Perfect Order will reprint Judge right? Japan got it already but the last Judge everywhere else was the one in Destined Rivals and its G, so about to rotate.
>>
>>59027132
Probably. Japan got a J block reprint in the 100 starter deck collection thing that Erika's pokemon were in, and I can't remember a time when Japan has had a card in a set that we don't immediately get afterwards so it will also probably be J block since most of the known Perfect Order cards are J block.

>People bitching that 75% of matchups are Pult or Lucario
Bitches, would you prefer that 75% of matchups be Gardevoir or Charizard instead?
>>
>>59027008
noctowl decks are closer to the ygo stuff you see nowadays.

How sad do you have to be to do that in casual. I just wanted to evolve my shit for the battlepass mission and then concede
>>
>>59027387
I got the point. If you don't like the shitty mm algorithm, go play at your locals. I don't use TCGL for anything other than testing decks.
>>
>>59027392
>I got the point
>deliberately misinterprets the point in the original post
so you're being dumb on purpose?
>>
>>59027391
I remember doing my dailies for the prismatic bp and came across a wall deck specifically teched for tera decks. sometimes you come across the most bloodthirsty people on the casual ladder
>>
>want to play grimmsnarl
>only 2 grimmsnarl with the good art
sigh... if only the game didn't randomly pull the regular grimmsnarl while searching I might be able to get away with not looking broke
>>
>>59026785
You are either just having fun trolling or your reading comprehension is deplorable.
>>
>I don't like this game
>I will continue playing it
Why are Pokémon fans like this?
>>
>>59027890
The alternative is doing meth.
>>
I am just having fun figuring this game out.
Not my problem you build an ego around consuming products.
>>
>>59028123
>figuring this game out
You mean calling everything cancer and everyone a retard?
>>
>>59028446
Wow first time on 4chan? That statement applies to everything.
>>
Iono into Absol and two energy switches was quite smart from my opponent.
It completely destroyed my hand.
>>
>>59028579
You're trying too hard to fit in for someone who doesn't even know how to reply.
>>
>gimme the (you)!!! YOU CANT REPLY!!!
you gotta earn em, discord tranny

>>59028579
this guy knows
>>
Reminder, if your deck has only one attacker, its for retards. No, stall mons and bloodmoon do not count. Its a children's card game, and they made those decks for you.
>>
I was playing wormtrio with ghostloli immunity, ace brace and reversal/ignition energy
it's fun when you can pull it off

only weakness is that it relies too much on the coinflips and rarely, if even taking any prize cards
and you have to feed at least until opp has 2 prizes remaining or else you can do crap
>>
>>59028924
But what if my deck's N's Zoroark? <_<
>>
>>59029060
It can attack with Darmanitan until rotation happens.
It also has Shred with Zekrom which hit 110 using Pecharunt and Mochi.
