m slowbro good yet? or is he doomed to be pack filler?
>>59162497pack filler, sadly. 90 damage for 3 energy is pathetic and the bench damage is rarely high enough to win outright before their big hitter just beats over slowbro.
i've seen several people running this weird new arceus ex/mew/pichu deck today, did a youtuber make a video or something? it doesn't seem great but it's got me wondering.
FUCK BABIES.IGGLYBUFF TRY TO PUT ME TO SLEEP?FUCK YOU. YOU'RE SLEEPIN FOREVER. DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF I EVEN LOSE AFTER AS LONG AS I GET TO KNOCK THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF AN IGGLYBUFF.
>>59162945may i introduce you to our lord and savior arceus/crobat?
>>59162959how does it work
>>59163105well you see, arceus is immune to sleep niggery and simply placing crobat into play completely invalidates babies as it kills them for free eithout costing your turn
>>59162945just play bird zone with an ogerpon, ~80% win rate into iggly altaria slop
Started the journey for the golden pokeball today and got it after spending 1200 saved hourglasses :D
>>59163264gratsgood luck going for the second
So I think the new trailer comes out this week.The set is supposed to be on the 27th, which is a monday, and the trailer usually comes out on a thursday.It makes more sense that for a bigger pack, it comes out this week for a 10 day interval, than just on the 23rd only 4 days before.
>lunch hour in japan>suddenly faced with a bunch of japtards and given the absolute worst bricks possible to ensure they can't possibly losehmm i do appear to be nooticing
>hit planeta manectric off a 24h pick two days ago>hit the rainbow off another one todayguess i'm contractually obligated to play this deck now.
So used to Cyrus from this game that when I switch out a damaged Pokemon in Champions I subconsciously think the opponent can forcibly drag it back into battle later
>>59163574wonder if we'll get the ZA megas now that they're in champions
Still nothing you can do against turn 2 Hydreigon
>>59164217we need oricorio ex
Good time at Casual queue.Slow people that play Quad Sylveon, Wugtrio, Whishiwashi...and Magmavire is just enough to believe I'm a bastard.>>59163976Too much solo battles fucked me up, now I take for granted oppo has one in his hand anytime.
>>59164258I forgot>Casual blablaNo more than once a week recommended
>>59164232And they always start first so even if you play the same deck you lose
the fuck is 24h wonder pick and how do I get it
>>59164217Turn 2 Stoutland
>>59164314They poison stall you with Nihilego and even if you win you have to deal with all the other decks
>>59164302collect every card in the set, including 1 star FAs. it's not worth it btw, they gimped it. you used to get God packs, now you just one 2 star card. I whiffed 5 RR manetrics over 5 days. and lost 15k shinedust to complete the setplus all the hourglass tokens wp-ing it (didn't even want manetric, I wanted a scizor but wasn't aware they nerfed it)you're better off just chasing packs daily. I got a FA Mars yesterday on my hunt for Cyrus.
>>59164368well I barely play this for a month now so I don't even have resources to master a set, thanks for info though.
>>59164455I can daily share with you for 720 shinedust if you want5868236639154104
why did it take 6 days to get a new thread?
>>59164555because the game sucks
>>59164555Whenever they do a single themed pack everyone's already done pulling what they want by the 1st week and there's nothing to discuss for the rest of the month
When the fuck is ranked starting? I want to get it over with and secure my hourglasses.
>>59164555Game is dead
>>59164555they even lost boynextdoor :( RIP
>>59165056Theres a gachi gacha?
>>59164696Tomorow
we've lost mogwai to champions
>opponent always has rare candy + hydreigon when starting with deino>opponent always has double darkrai on bench when starting with igglybuff>both will empty their hands and then copycat like 3-4 cards backAlways happens without fail
>>59165601He'll be back, Champions isn't that much better than this lol
>>59165601No idea who that is and not sure why we're supposed to care
I have one Sabrina and a Cyrus and every match I manage to open with either or both of them
>>59165643You forgot the part where they keep flipping heads with lucky ice pop
When are we admitting we lost to Go as far as being a good game goes?
>>59166118we lost the moral victory to masters ex
>>59166118i dunno, i can at least play pocket. go barely qualifies as a game.
>>59166118Nah I replayed Go for a while and it is fucking shit. It's somehow even more repetitive than TCGP and the game has core mechanic problems that were never solved.
So what do I do after I finish AI matches that I could (expert cheats too much I can't win)Is going online the last thing I can do? I don't want to get raped by unwashed sweats...
>>59166325There's good resources online for decks that win auto battles against expert AI.And ranked/online is only really worth if you want to make a meta deck and spend time to maintain a 50/50 win rate long enough to climb ranks.
Woah...
>>59166118We'll lose to Champions immediately when it comes out on mobile, until then we'll just be winning but bored as fuck
>want to play arceus deck for the event battles just because>go second>lead with only arceus>AI gets suicune and lands multiple heads with mistyThis has happened like 3 games in a row.
>>59167263Champion is extremely sweaty once you hit Ultra Ball. Mobile players will not stick on that too long.
what you playing for ranked?
>>59167476Houndstone and Gourgheist
>>59167476i dunno. i let my rank decay on purpose for a couple seasons, probably just gonna shoot for ultra 1-2 every season now with meme decks instead if bothering with master. the 2 extra packs simply aren't worth it.might do guzzlord indeedee, been playing a bit of that casually recently and it's quite effective. if there's too much yzard though i might just do jolteon again.
>>59167564>might do guzzlord indeedee, been playing a bit of that casually recently and it's quite effectivedeck?
>>59167644here. feels very strong into a solid portion of meta decks (especially suicune bax), but it does lose to yzard really hard and the oricorio matchup is generally a turn 30 draw.
>>59167668what good is poncho? think helmet or barb are better
>>59167691lotta bench sniping in this meta, every other match has chien pao or greninja and it protects your indeedee from getting sniped for game which is the main loss condition against those decks. no real point in running barb or rocky helmet for oricorio as they'll just not attack, and in certain matchups like zard x you need heavy helmet on guzz anyway to not instantly die.
>>59167476A9.
>>59167713oh yeah and running so many tools also helps you dump your hand against hiking trail, which is now a hydreigon staple.
Hot damn, we did it boys
>>59168066I'm a man but congrats
>>59168066Based
>>59163939As u say, i too am kind obligated to play it now. Is it any good?
Which steel deck runs fouble indeedee, Mawile? Just beat a jap with multiple top 1k medals cause he bricked into double Indeedee and I don't remember seeing this deck before.
>>59168316double indeedee+Mega Steelix is likely what it is, mawile with anything is garbage since you can repel/Sabrina to reset the damage counter.
Why aren't more people playing Magcargo? I love how you can do 150 damage by turn 4.
>50 points left for a full art trainerShould I go for Lisia or a second Copycat?
>>59168402lisia, I see copycats often in wonder picks
That was easy
>>59168394Because it insta-loses to "lol u play turn 1"
>>59167476Nothing, I only played once to get the clocks for my default rank and never touch again. BTW, my only opponent opened with fucking chingling so I immediately conceded.
That Darkrai deck is whats gonna kill the game for good. It can basically win on turn 1 if you only have a 50 hp Pokemon out. I lost two matches already because of that and I have played six games so far. No, thanks Dena can fuck themselves. I am not playing this shit anymore.
Finally pulled a Red for my Rocket binder
>>59168540Don't play 50HP pokemon?
>>59168607I like Magnemite. Even if it was 60hp when Im going second, I will have 10hp remaining and won't be able to evolve. If im lucky, I will draw another Pokemon to stall it but its a fucked up situation. If you can't see that, then gargle on DENAs cock for as long as you want
>>59168435What was your deck and which decks were most common in your matches?
>>59164302Once you get every diamond cards in the current set, you've got a 50% chance every day to be offered a Wonder Pick that will last 24 hours and be guaranteed to have 1 card you do not already own between the set's 1 star and 2 stars cards, meaning if you also have every 1 stars, you're guaranteed to get 2 stars WP (you still have to gamba on the WP itself though).
>>59168628HydraniggerAnd it was a pretty even spread between Altanigger, Entei/Zard, Baxpaocune, the mirror and then some random shit. Only once did I fight a sleep deck, and it was the last match before MB. It was glorious, fucker slept my Deino, I evolved and retreated to baby Absol to snipe his second iggly while the active one died to poison and watched his dumbass scramble with his Darkrai EX in the active spot.
>pull shiny Mega Mane when I already have the Planeta and RainbowI was hoping to pull ScizorGuess I'll just have to save up 30k and trade for one
>>59168628I also made it to MB today and just like >>59168688 I was playing Hidra and ran into pretty much the same shit but I did run into more sleep decks. It's a miserable meta so spare yourself the headache and use one of the cancer decks or don't even bother. Oh and no matter which deck you run, make sure it has some way to punish baby users, picrel made him concede when he realized he was about to lose 1 baby without me needing to ram into his rocky helmet.
>>59168735I haven't pulled a shiny for 2 weeks
Still no Dragonite looming in the distance, huh?
>>59168688Records are up finally. Seriously people just play dumb meta and forget about pvp once you hit MB
Can the next set be galar themed?
>>59169215I would die and I would kill to be able to grind my cock on Bea's stomach
>>59169215Galar and Unova are the only ones that haven't got a dedicated set yet so its a 50/50 chance
>>59169215You get it, but it'll be focused on Crown Tundra/Isle of Armor instead
>>59169297Hoenn didn't.
>>59162428>Found Eevee Card Binder>8 pockets per page>But I've got 10 different Eevee cardsRuined. How am I supposed to fit 10 in 8 or the other way round?
>>59169464find one with 9 and put eevee in the middle and all evolutions around it
it's ridiculous how retardedly rigged ranked is.got close to master, then four consecutive games where i didn't draw a single one of copycat, oak, pokeball, hiking trail, or deino. that's 9 fucking cards out of my deck that just stopped showing up when it was time for me to lose. amazing.
Started from UB4 this time for the first time. It really is easier to get to MB with such a good starting launchpad.Using a Charizard X / Charizard Y / Entei deck. It's really versatile with the Flame Patches and if they play a Mega you can build the 250-damage Charizard and finish them off easily. Would recommend!
>play the fucking mega-altanigger deck>mega-altanigger is always at the bottom of the deck and opponent always flips heads to wake up>play against the fucking mega-altanigger deck>both darkrais, mega-altanigger and igglybuff are on the board turn 4 (you always play first so you get double fucked)>flip 5 tails in a row so get triple fucked if you want to ever play the fucking gameWhoever made this nigger card should get fucking skinned alive
>lose to expert event deck due to a 3 energy misty flip>faggot popup tells me "using the manectric theme deck is recommended for this battle!">deck i was using was a manectric deckthis shit gets on my nerves more than it really should. just stop with the fucking handholdy popups.
>>59170050The most fucked part is that the deck it recommends is genuine trash and cannot win 9/10 times. So not only is the pop up annoying it's not even helpful at all.
>>59170050You can't except more from nip devs. I don't know what it is but they just cannot make decent UI/UX or good programming
I don't know how long the cycle of opening new packs and getting to UB2/3 each ranked season will last for meskim the dena jews alive
>>59170370>skim the dena jews aliveskin*
>tell myself i'm going back to pull SR more if i don't get the immersive mew by 400 pack points (80 packs)>open the 79th pack just now:)i'll be back for the shiny one after crown ball #2
>>59168735Do you happen to have a shiny mega gengar? I've got shiny m-scizor but I'm still at 10k
>>59170050they keep designing the solo decks specifically to get cheap highroll wins, it's fucking aggravating
I think the devs' thought process is literally that a coinflip is fair because it's an even 50/50 chance, so adding more coinflips makes the game more balanced and fair, and of course nobody bothers testing it so the end result is the fucking mess we are seeing. That just has to be it.
shinyzard deck
Wasn't even a 24 hour.
>>59171403I failed 6/all 24wps and all of them had rainbow maga manectric
>>59171403How the fuck do you know when it is a 24 hours W? Seriously.
>you lose because your opponent flipped 10 tails in a row with lucky ice popNot even an exageration, he flipped 10 fucking heads on a single ice pop. Whoever made this card needs to be shot, as well as whoever allowed it into the game with no limits. I guess they got lucky that most normies give 0 shits about pvp because if it was more popular I don't see how there wouldn't be mass backlash against this card. Guess now we need a fucking Jolteon EX but for healing? Is that really what it's going to come down to?
Every deck should run aloan muk
>>59171403Me too, today first time I got 24wp in less than 48hours. I failed of course, 7th time
i like this game because i think the cards are cool and i like the funny magic animals
>>59172091Its funny because on the other side, I've had games where they full heal with pop and they still fucking lose if you play tanky shit like M-Venusaur.
>first opponent of the day is jap hydreinigger>starts will m absol >they go first and get everything they need>hiking trail, double golden pokeball, copycat, nihelego, deino, and two poison barbs>my turn I start with just a slowpoke>put an energy and helmet on it and attack>next turn they copycat again and retreat absol and put deino out>at this point they’ve only got like 3 cards in their deck>I know my only shot it evolving to m slobro and tanking the hydreigon for a turn and hopefully heal back up, so I go to do that>next turn they decide to get cocky and not evolve deino and just put an energy of m absol on the bench and pass>ok>my turn I put my last energy on m slowbro and attack>get the 3 heads on attack>opponent concedesMoral of this story is fuck these japanese meta faggots that just want to play the game as an auto win simulator.
>>59172173I've had matches like that as well, they spend a full turn healing only to lose anyway, but it's still a terribly designed card that never should have made it into the game. The only way this card would be acceptable is if you could only get 1 extra heal, making it a stronger potion with the drawback of only working on the active mon. I might even have accepted a version that works like Misty, where you flip all coins at once and it fucks off, but instead it was designed in the worst way possible. The worst part of all is that it wasn't put in to address some imbalance or issue with the meta, instead it just hurt the meta, makes matches longer and has 0 counterplay further killing any sort of strategy this game might've had.Then as if that wasn't enough they add fucking Igglybuff to the game yo fuck things up even more.
