lollmao
The meta is gonna be shaken up with Lucky egg attached to babies and the new Anti non Mega Stadium
>>59217290Nah everyone is gonna be running field blower
>>59217290Bounded Field is a meme because it's so matchup dependent. It's why you don't see the watering can.
>>59217295This is actually good
>bounded fieldIn every electric deck
Repostan because I'm completely baffled>IMMERSIVEFUCKING>SOBBLEAre they taking the fucking piss??
>>59217300yeah it's just not worth running by any means, in the majority of matchups it'll be just a brickthe fact that it doesn't work on megas is just icing on the cake
>>59217303i dunno, deck destruction is generally worse than hand destruction and krookodile is literally the exact same card stat wise but targets the hand and flips 3 coins instead of flip until tails.
>>59217307We just had Meowth the set before last.
They changed the WPs' reveal animation.It's strangely quick and dry, but somehow less humiliating and offensive.
Could this be a good buddy for fossils?
This is Badass
>>59217319If you think Meowth is as dogshit as Sobble, or that Sobble is as iconic as Meowth, you don't even deserve to be insulted.
>>59217327I'm surprised this one wasn't the second the immersive card. Looks rad.
>>59217303It's too slow. No fighting ramp means you won't be attacking until turn 6 at the earliest. By then, your opponent will have already drawn most of his deck.And if he bricked so hard that his last 6 are pokeballs, oaks, and copycats, he was going to lose anyway.
>>59217300>>59217309Eventually they might make a deck that uses a bunch of types or single card that counts as every type like a Kecleon and it could have a use. This set had the Urshifus that are multi typed but don't think that's good enough yet.
>>59217326nah. condition is way too inconsistent and the basic tax kills its stats. silvally is flat out better.
>>59217333i mean right now we have a three-type rogue deck (decidueye greninja oricorio) and i still wouldn't ever consider running it in that.
>>59217326I think they want you to use him with Lilligant. Not a bad card, but not the best either.
>got three (3) Meowth immersives in FP>0 M-GardHere we go again motherfuckers.
>>59217342lilligant is only stage 1 though
>>59217344is mega audino the worst mega ever? not counting latios since it was a promo
>>59217347Ah, you are right, my bad. Then I don't know. Maybe use him with Serperior? Either way, it seems unreliable.
>>59217327>Full FA line Cool as fuck, these should be more common >>59217337Not a fan of that Lucario art, I wish you could see the full body, it feels so awkwardly cropped out
>>59217344Magnezone with the doodle shit "art" is a crime, the rest are either ok or really good.>tfw Flygon looking like he's depressedThey did my boy so fucking dirty
The new Celebi saves Mommy Mega Venus. One of her biggest weaknesses was that Ivy can't operate in the mid game or late game because she'll get oneshotted after using Synthesis. Now you can have Venus charge herself with Celebi in the backline, tank an attack with her fat ass, and then heal back up while going to work with Mega Bloom.
>>59217349Seviper and Bisharp are absolute cinema. Especially Seviper
>>59217356If you're going to go through that much effort to try and hit big numbers on turn 3, just use Hydreigon. It needs fewer cards.
>>59217349oh fuck, that malamar actually looks nasty. 1 dark 1 colorless for TOTAL evolution lock, not just active like aerodactyl? you could field this turn 3 off a pichu ramp and completely lock your opponent out of ever having a chance to evolve. what the fuck?
>>59217346I got 4 M-Gyarados immersives this past month, and not a single 2*.
>>59217370There's a lot of "ifs" in that combo.
My god crustle is just trash
>>59217378how so? it's the same amount of cards as a turn 3 hydreigon and we all know how common that is.
>>59217380The new gallade seems cool. 160 to any ex if the new fighting stadium is in play sounds nice.
>>59217379A large portion of every set is dedicated to useless pack filler. The only difference now is that what was once 2 or 3 packs is now condensed into one, so enjoy your 3 Crustle and Flygon before seeing Lucario.
>>59217372>non-ex LanturnVery nice and simple. 2-energy 70 damage which also deals with Oricorio, now starting with Chinchou won't feel so useless>>59217361I've wanted Memory Light on legs for my Torterra deck this whole time. A little late but better than nothing at this point I guess
Last card leaks. New Set Drops tomorrow
>>59217382You have to go first, have to have Pichu up front, have to have Inkay either in your hand to start or in your first draw, and you have to have Malamar by turn 3.Needing 2 specific basics right away is a big deal. If any one of those pieces is out of place, you can't do the combo and he'll get his turn 3/4 Hydreigon anyway.
>>59217327Second Pokemon to get a complete FA line is also a Grass starter..Nice.
>>59217391Dunsparce continues to get treated as a standalone Pokemon without its evo
>>59217327>>59217394Aw, shit, do we need the kike pass for Treecko or Grovyle?
That shiny mega absol is heinous
>>59217395Kingambit isn't in, either.
>>59217393we've seen how consistent getting two specific basics out turn 1 can be with igglybuff and darkrai. and it doesn't have to happen instantly either. if they don't draw the evolution pieces turn 4,.or they're playing a deck that goes through the stage 1 like charizard or venusaur, you still autowin.
The Tepig line has a secured future
>>59217397No, the goypass promo is Victini.
>>59217397No.
>>59217400>if they don't draw the evolution pieces turn 4How often do you fight an evolution deck where that doesn't happen?
>>59217322Hm
>>59217326Jfc they JUST NOW made a Heracross that actually applies to Barry
>>59217322Again?
>>59217414Oh shit, I forgot all about Barry. That's 0 cost for potentially 80 damage. You could start building up Tyrantrum on the bench while attacking.
>>59217404Oh. Are these in the pack then?
>>59217398?
>>59217420First it reveals the selected card, and then the other 4 simultaneously.>>59217425Yes. They are 1 Star.
>>59217431It seems way laggier for the one WP I just tried. Like it's still using the old timing despite showing me the selection right away.
Horrible
>>59217337Why do they keep making all of the trainers terrible? Was Copycat the last one allowed to be good?
>>59217440Water now has an ilima of their own for only non EX
>>59217443It would be pretty wild if you could peel off a damanged Suicune whenever
>>59217438>temu greninja
>>59217440Korrina is good. No, I'm not biased because she's my wife.
Now that ranked is almost over - how many times you or your opponents used Nasty notice duiring whole event? For me is 1
>>59217443You can remove Frigibax if you lead with it, but you can also just retreat it with an X Speed. Nobody uses non-ex water types.
>>59217443Jellicent may be able to use well
>>59217363the problem is ivysaur left in the active spot, not the attack. if you skip it with rare candy to be a tanky venu, then the ivysaur isn't there for you to use the attack with
>>59217473You don't Rare Candy her, you just build her up in the back. Now instead of having to go for Mega Venus right away, you can play two one-pointers or one EX first.
There he is... the baby that was meant to be our fighting ramper...
>>59217482sounds like you are throwing away the consistency, which is the strongest part of the deck. better to just roll the dice for ivysaur to survive than give the deck more ways to brick.
>>59217492You're already hyper consistent. Two Bulbasaur, two Ivysaur, two Mega Venus, two Quick Growth Extract, what more could you ask for?
>>59217438ah, i see what this is foryou're supposed to cycle it with parasol ladyit still sucks balls though because why wouldn't you just run greninja
>>59217490Enjoy your rocky tenga
>>59217482>>59217363>herTake your meds.
>>59217535The only medicine for me is her fragrant, fat ass on my face.
Pokopia ruined the Bulbasaur line by causing niggas like this to turn into freaks for flower dinosaurs
>>59217537rafflessia stink like rotting corpses
My Mega Shine backdrop...Is gone...
>>59217544take solace in the fact that they don't actually like the bulbasaur line, they're talking about humans arbitrarily called bulbasaur because they would be entirely unremarkable otherwise
>another 150 cards>maybe four of them are even usableHow many times are they going to repeat this cycle before people get bored and drop the game?
Does anything here cuck Hydreigon?Budew's kind of a sidegrade to Chingling
>>59217566mega sceptile rapes hydreigon decks. it oneshots hydreigon from full, pair it with kartana who oneshots deino from full for one energy.
>>59217361that flapple is kinda funkynot a great card but definitely the best of the "opponent's pokemon needs one more energy to attack" archetype
>>59217547My first fictional crush was a zombie girl You think that's not gonna smell sweet to me?
Wait set releases on reset or
>>59217589No. Set drops twenty and a half hours from now.
yes crustle got an ex. too bad it’s totally vanilla. I think it’s playable with hitmonchan ex tho
>>59217595So how come leaks so early? Usually we get it an hour before no?
>>59217438Kek Inceleon
>>59217598the problem is that it's literally just mega lucario but worseit has less hp and doesn't get +50 damage for a third energydude literally got powercrept in his own fucking set
>>59217352I'm thinking it's an ok accessory to MGarde, god would it suck to open with though. But also no, that probably goes to pinsir still.
>>59217588was it PS1 stock art RE2 zombie girl?
>>59217607mgarde only ramps psychic mons. also lmao at pinsir being the worst when it had a better winrate in mega rising than both ampharos and gyarados did.
>>59217285combine this with your own alolan muk to turn his ability offnow you too can have ho-oh ex but shit!
>>59217446>>59217499if anything its greninja if it was actually balanced
This set is going to be such a pain to complete
>>59217644yeah it would be half decent if greninja didn't existbut greninja does exist
>>59217645bro your dozen alts?
Anyone want a shiny Forretress or Magikarp? Looking for the new Chameleon and Dratini.
>>59217660which karp is the shiny again?
>>59217663Leap out.
>>59217671ah rip nvm then
>>59217673Probably the best Magikarp still imo.
>>59217683i would rather have splashing dodge 100% of the timeleap out just means you have 1 energy on karp instead of 2, and you get to 1 energy by manually retreating into mantyke anywaybut splashing dodge can salvage a brick even if it's unlikely
>>59217385Will it be? I dunno, might as well play the EX
I was thinking maybe finally I get immersive and it happened
How many hours till the new set?
>>5921792018 hours.
>>59217271Great piece from MS >>59217285In the past, they had the decency to make these theme deck lists for you at least.I-I don't think M-Sceptile is going to be welcome..
>5I WANT THE SHINY ONE
>>59218012not. game
Baby ramp + new Gallade might be decent, 140-160-190 damage isn't bad at all even if the deck is probably a little slow
why are they addicted to making unplayable first hand bricking benchslop crown rares
First time seeing a godpack WP after playing for a year (and never getting one on my own), I better not get one of the two 1*...
>>59218225Goddamnit
>>59218233hehe
Flygon ex's ability is what Glaceon ex's should've been...
That Flygon is probably trash but I will make it work.
>>59218294it seems they didn't think multi 3-energy on a stage-2 was restrictive enough so the attack also gets a drawback
>>59218294>Probably To think that TCG™ has DragapultDragon cards can never be anything but shiny dead weight in this game. Or Goodra.Still I want to try SS Altaria so bad
>new Volcarona is just a fire reskin of Glaceon/Lumineon>nevermind if Larvesta has 1 retreat cost then old Volc will at least be easier to use since MI Larvesta is 2 retreat cost which is inconvenient>>>3 retreat cost
>>59218305Are dragons going to be perma-cucked because Druddigon was used a lot at the start of SR?
>>59218343No, they just refuse to give us whatever energy ramp gimmick they came up with for all these impossible to use cards.
>>59218384I'm upset that Bonsly wasn't a ramping baby.
>>59218391damage damage damage fuck you.ex fuck you deck space isn't the support that fighting needed but you better believe I'll be bored and desperate enough to mess around with it anyways.
>>59218384What happened to Dragonite in the end?
>>59218294I'll try to use some fucked up juggler setup with leafeon that works 1/10 games but works well when it does
>>59218432Juggler would be a much better card if it worked with only 2 types of energy instead of needing 3.
>>59218233"Super"?
>>59217337Who the fuck is Cabbie?
>>59218445The Corviknight taxi guy in SS.
>>59217337>Parasol ladyAs we already have the Tourist Girl, that means Hex Maniac is next.
I wonder how much a simple qol change like customizing the ratio of split energy frequency would help some decks. I don't see it making anything viable that wasn't, but that would be a pretty simple way to emulate the intent of hybrid mechanics from the real tcg a bit better.
This is the most offensively bad card I've seen.
No more tickets for WP promos, you just get them after hitting a certain threshold.>>59218458 Simply having it alternate or choose depending on what is currently in play would go a long way toward making multicolor more useful. Because even if you run 2 energies, you can lose the coinflip 3 times in a row and be completely helpless. Or just let the player choose which energy is generated on the next turn.
Would've gone out of my way to get 2 of these if it were the STS energy manipulating one
>>59218473Making it too consistent would flatten the meta even harder than it has been. I think I'm fine with auto lose draws since that's just an inevitability of the nature of these games, I'd just want a little more agency over how stupidly bad the randomness is.
>>59218513>Making it too consistent would flatten the meta even harder than it has been.Maybe. You'd see a lot those splashed Oricorio able to actually attack instead of just sitting there.It's probably Dena's intention to keep dragons shitty, it's great for filling packs and wasting important rarity slots. They've had every opportunity in the past year+ to make them work somehow, but have never bothered.
>>59218520All fodder cards at least exist within some semblance of balance from now to GA. Type support differences, evo/ex/mega penalties, whatever the case may be. It's not a great struck balance but it exists. We've had cards since GA that looked intended for the baby ramps, which I assume were introduced as late as they were for Gen marketing priority or some design philosophy that the game needed more cards first. Maybe that exists for a non type locked steel and grass ramp, at the very least? That's the two energies across all these baffling dragon cards so far that have no other solution. I could never buy that DeNa stacks these harsher penalties on cards they want to be * especially * bad and undesirable for the player without them knowing. On popular pokemon too. It's a silly agenda.
>>59218589>All fodder cards at least exist within some semblance of balance from now to GA.I disagree. It wasn't so egregious back in the early days, but card games like this always include shitty pack filler so that you're encouraged to open up as many packs as possible.>We've had cards since GA that looked intended for the baby ramps, which I assume were introduced as late as they were for Gen marketing priority or some design philosophy that the game needed more cards first.Given how often this game releases cards, it wouldn't surprise me if they've had stuff in the pipe for months at a time before actually releasing anything. But still, babies released so late that nothing they may have been intended to help got the help they needed because the game was too power crept at that point for them to be useful. What cards from the early sets even see use? Greninja, sometimes. But that has been largely replaced with sleep scamming. Mewtwo once when M-Gardevoir released, but that deck fell off. Moltres on occasion for fire decks, but that's never stuck. GA Pikachu ex is a joke now, Celebi fell off hard, Dialga is dead, Arceus is dead, even Darktina is dead. I don't have confidence that by the time dragon support releases that it'll be enough>I could never buy that DeNa stacks these harsher penalties on cards they want to be * especially * bad and undesirable for the player without them knowing.I can. Flygon is medium popular, but Lucario is giga popular. Putting the two in the same set means that Flygon is going to get shafted in order to dilute the pool and make the actual popular cards way more difficult to get. It's like this in every set, especially lately, you get like 4 good cards in a set of 100-200. Even condensing full sets into a single pack like in this next set and FP signals that they've gone into maximum overjew. They know player retention is in the trash, and are scrambling to make as much money as possible before even the whales start to jump ship.
Having both DX emblems used to mean somethingNow it means absolutely nothing
>>59218233I'm sorry, anon. That was me yesterday.
Which piggy is better?
>>59218643Right, because Emboar's gimmick is feeding it as much energy as possible.
>>59218618Only DX pikachu icon means anything
Why Crustle? Out of all Fighting(/rock/ground) why a fucking crab with slab of dirt?
>>59218012gimme one... :(
>>59218661So you can feel the excitement leave your body as you flick the fourth card away and watch the game celebrate you getting this shit.
>>59218661He had to get one at some point, and waiting for all of the unpopular ones to get dumped into a bunch of sets will basically guarantee those sets don't sell.
Do the hourglasses in the shop that you get for trading trade tokens refresh or do i get shinedust now?
>>59218679It won't refresh, it was a one-time deal to compensate people with Trade Tokens, which won't be distributed anymore due to having no value. When the timer on that shop runs out, it won't refresh. The shop just disappears for good.
Broken
>>59218730I miss being able to win games with this guy.
>>59218661they could have at least given it an ability, -10 damage taken or something
>>59218749Dwebble has that.
>>59218661These things always hit surprisingly harder than you'd expect once the Lucarios come online, and now there's Korrina and the stadium tooNot saying they'll be amazing, but I underestimated Hitmonchan ex the first time
>>59218789You might be right. Manectric saw a fair amount of use, and that card did less for its base attack than Crustle does. It also didn't get the plethora of boosts that fighting has/is getting.
>>59217285What were they thinking with this one? This is too convoluted for generic filler pack aimed at people just starting the game so I'm not going to buy the pack filler excuseThis is just shit, yes I know you can cheat the ability out, but what's even the payoff for that?
>last day for 2star wp >Don't get any 2star option in wp despite being two days since my last oneWell, fuck you too, game
>game decided by four turns of Sleep in a row Yeah, this set will be make or break for me. If we don't get ONE deck with a good matchup into Mega Altaria and the unending reign of Psychic favoritism, I'm out
mega camerupt seems like it could be a fun meme deck
Are we seriously still pretending Psychic is DeNa's favored child
>>59218730According to who?
>>59218844I got 2 FA Iris's today and failed them both, might as well have gotten nothing really
>>59218847We already know the whole set. There's fuck all to block or prevent status effects.
Are we still pretending Psychic hasn't been fed good shit since literally launch and even now still boasts the best and most consistent Mega to this day
>>59218847mega sceptile with ogerpon
>>59218937There were lulls in between all of the good Psychic cards. We've just been at peak power creep for the past 6 months because every set since B1a has been shit.
>>59218952This. I think their formula is "release the meta shakers every big expansion and then release good or mid in small expansions" and they vastly overestimated how good Mega Gardevoir would be. (She would actually be really good in a format where Cyrus doesn't exist and she has worthwhile ramp targets, but the problem is if she runs away, Cyrus drags her back out and punches her lights out.)
>>59218994They've been giving Psychic plenty of tools, but none of it has stuck so it all gets forgotten. Meloetta, the Psychic stadium, none of it is as good as Altaria.
>>59217401Plz elaborate
>>59218994Like some wise Anon said, Meloetta is the only partner Gardy needs as of now. She ramps herself to Diantheal and then back and forth with another one. Two stadiums is better. That's the best use I can see, tried today and won against Manectric (again).I don't have Mewtwo though so I don't know
>>59218937The last good psychic deck was Mewtwo ex
>>59217401Half % of the times
9 hours till the set drops
I forgot to play ranked at all this season, hows the meta?
>the older cards can also be flaired without using up extra copies nowI take it I'm not compensated for the cards I previously burned
I feel like this 2 week wait for ranked killed my motivation to play.
>>59219083bad
>>59219090I'm already burned out grinding out the emblem every month that I can't be bothered to play more than a couple of ranked games by the end of the month. This game seriously needs some variety in the monthly activities.
>>59218994>Mega Gard>GoodWhat
>had 9 torchics>purchased my 10th with pack points>didn't get a gold frameWtf
How many decks new Celebi is saving?
>>59219171When I openened old pack and one of cards was tenth, it shined with gold wave and that's all.
>>59219137>anon has LITERALLY zero reading comprehensionyup, it's a TCG player all right
>>59219179Probably none.I think it would be fun to run on a Donphan deck, but it's already hurting for space so I probably won't include it.I saw a funny comment about using it with Metal Core Barrier on Solgaleo to negate 100 damage on the following turn.An anon mentioned earlier that Venusaur decks could use it to use Synthesis after evolving, but that deck's main selling point is extreme consistency and having another basic throws a wrench in the works.
>cheapens the value of emblems>casually cucks oldfags 100k+ worth of shinedustheh, nothing personnel kids
>>59219200Emblems never had value.
>>59219200>value of emblemslol? only ones worth a shit were always the secret mission ones not the shop onesmayyybe deluxe pack but only if you had both
>>59219204>>59219213>denashills ignoring the 100k shinedust scamlmao
>>59219217I already have that much on my main, and I'm not using it.
>>59218661>snibbidy snab
>>59219217who cares dudeit's actually a good thing because going back and pulling old sets for non-dupes means the newfags get cucked out of a lot of dustdoesn't matter to me since i got way way more dust by playing this long than a newfag would get going back for these missions
>>59218714Thanks
>new Pawniard/Bisharp>no KingambitWHY
>you can do 5 columns in the deck builder and still see the total number of each cardNice
>>59219200not getting retroactive dust bites a little, but it's not the end of the world. dust isn't a huge deal for me anymore, i already have playsets of every single relevant 2* supporter.
They will never release a good Zoroark card huh? 90 damage if you have 3 Pokemon in the back like the Pikachu we had in the very first set but Pikachu doesn't need to evolve first at least.
I said it last thread, that I'm pissed Lucario was probably going to get a Immersive, and now we have this ugly as fuck zoomed in Lucario art instead of something cool in a Rainbow Rare. Fuck this game.
>>59219271it's circle circuit pika but only takes 1 energy. it's a decent card in a vacuum, the problem is just why the fuck would you play this when hydreigon requires less pieces to highroll 130 on turn 3 than zoroark does to highroll 90.
>>59219294i think lucario is retarded and only gay furfags like it, so i'm happy you got fucked over
>>59219294What the fuck was stopping them from zooming out on the art???
>>59218467>cresselia from 10 packs ago... but worsewhat are they smoking? I know they make all legendary cards totally ass but this...
>>59219294>>59219365>feat. Charizard
>>59219271it doesn't sound terrible to me desugoing first it's a solid 90 on turn 3, going second you can use zorua's attack to search and evolve so it doesn't die turn 3 and then follow up with a darkrai ping and 90 damage turn 4and it wants benchwarmers so pair with double nihilego and run barb... you're looking at 170 damage if you attack into it with 2 nihilego and darkrai on benchidk it's probably playable, low tier but playable
>>59219294KEK this is impressively bad
>>59219060Look anon, I hate Mega Altaria too but sticking your head in the sand isn't going to make it go away Gourgeist/Houndstone is one of the best non-EX decks, too. And let's not forget Sweets Relay before it.
>>59219411oh right it's stage 1 so you're actually looking at 100 damage for 1 energy with the stadium
>>59219419gourgeist houndstone is so fucking good dude, probably my favorite deck right now. i love no ex decks and oneshotting megas with houndstone never gets old.
Why does the auto battle AI never play stadiums?
>>59219425deck list? sounds kino
>>59219294I fucking hate the immersive border man, did they learn nothing from the ugly V cards?
Nigger what the fuck? My Shinedust amounts didn't change at all.
>>59218467ENTER
>>59219451when was the last time we had a basic legendary non-ex that didn't blow major ass? It especially sucks when they get cool full arts.
>>59219475Darkrai
>>59219451I mean you need to attack twice with Zygarde to get the same damage, they're almost equivalent since none of them is living three turns past turn 6
>>59219475Chi-Yu, Buzzwole, Tornadus, Xerneas and Raikou were alrightAnd of course, Darkrai
>>59219429this is what i've been using. list is pretty flexible, you can swap around copycat and sabrina pretty easily for cards like cape or a second pokeball.gourgeist is early aggro and dumps cards for houndstone, meloetta is the ideal lead and also comes in after every KO for a free draw on your turn, klefki discards itself to fuel houndstone, and comfey makes igglybuff shit itself.
>>59219491It's funny because 10% does more damage in the amount of time it would take 50% to get online.
>>59219475theres a couple alright ones coming in this very pack
>>59219475tapu lele was an amazing fuckin card back when darktina was meta
>>59219436Thanks for beta testing the mission system so our valued new players! Thanks also for (maybe) spending your dust on flair back when it was the only thing to spend that currency on, before we retconned that as well with no compensation given.We hope you continue to enjoy playing Pokémon TCG Pocket.
>>59219294These faggots don't care anymore lol
>>59217366How does Victini work? He seems pretty good with Emboar if his ability works
>>59219610It gives you a second chance on any coin flip from a fire mon.
>>59219610You'll probably get a "do you want to use this ability" prompt like Sylveon EX every turn you coinflip attack
>>59217385they sabotaged as always, just make it 2 energy 60+60 or even 60+50
>>59217361I'm really going to enjoy using Celebii. Any new pokemon that can utilize its ability?
They keep making cards like memory might and celebi but this is a game with no good options on earlier evos alot of the time
>another STOUTLAND cardwhy. why in the absolute fucking fuck. Where is METAGROSS
>>59219675Nothing really useful in this set, and all the following are stage 1 so you don't get anything if you Rare CandyHattrem can confuse so Hatterene can hit for full powerVibrava can add to Flygon's ability chip damage until Flygon is charged upGrovyle can bench snipe
>>59219675The new Breloom. Shroomish puts mons to sleep and Breloom deals 90 damage if they're asleep. You can pair it with Darkrai and not bother with the puff
>>59219712The opponent gets 2 chances to wake up before Breloom can even attack. You'll need GA Hypno's coinflip ability to make the best out of something like that on your own turn
Sceptile Mega can snipe for 50 due to Grovyle
>>59219436You and I are the only ones in this trashcan bothered by this, the others are too busy sucking dena's throbbing cock.Hopefully enough players will complain so that we might actually get the dust, but I won't exactly hold my breath.
>all the real regis are back>they all fucking suckPain.If they ever get EX version I bet they'll be Gigalith-tier
cancelled my prenium pass, i honestly dont know why i left it on i dont play this game much anymore. It feels like its gonna stay this way until they add more ways to have fun, its always>pack drops>wait 2 weeks for rankedrepeat
>>59219759.......same
>>59219688And the bench is too small for all these tool benchmons anyway, to not talk about how the speed of the game invalidates any of these setup gimmicks in the first place
>>59219759That last time I got the premium was on the Ho-oh Lugia set since there were some stuff I really wanted there
Now that Mega Shine is over, what was worst card of the set?
>another garbage set>another month of the same hydreigon/suicune deckssigh
>>59219729Baffling that people seem to not mind this, when so many people seethe over having no Shinedust for trades. I send myself an EX from an alt every day just to have a Shinedust allowance. Missing out on this much dust just because I already completed the missions before they made the change would actually drive me insane.
>>59219800M-Gengar and it's not even close. There are more unplayable normals of course, but a whole EX/Mega slot wasted on a mon that's insanely slow, requires set-up and a useless payoff that late in the game is the biggest sin of the set.
>>59219759No fucking clue why they make you wait so much for ranked, all my fomo goes away, why should I open packs if I can't even use the cards in the only mode that matters? And by the time ranked hits I couldn't care less anymore
>>59219830Back when ranked started immediately you bitches cried about how it was so pay2win when only whales would have the new cards already
>>59219830rankedfags are so fucking patheticthe concept of playing a game because you enjoy it doesn't even occur to them, they can literally only derive enjoyment from attaching arbitrary numbers to themselves and doing the most autistic shit ever to have a higher number than other peopleit's almost sad
>>59219854I play both ranked and casual. I prioritize ranked because that gives hourglass rewards for hitting Master Ball, but otherwise I don't care about the mode as long as I'm playing
>>59219610Mega Camerupt looks really funny.
>>59219073Just open both the pig and Victini, bro.
>>59219759I'm cancelling my premium after the Lucario stuff. I've already missed like 20 logins and 4 or 5 events, so I don't even have every promo anymore. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted (not really).
>>59219893
>>59219854There's nothing to enjoy in this fucking game besides opening packs.
Pulsing Aura more like Throbbing Cock LOLOLOLOLOL
>>59219893>>59219898I'm too tired and retarded to interpret this
>>59219969The first one is the odds of pulling cards, the second is just a count of how many mons per generation were added.
I dont understand, asking someone to run dual energies is a big requirement. Why do these dragon cards always get massive downsides slapped onto their attacks? Obviously im not talking about dragonite.
>>59220035It would still be shit even for [F][F][C]
>>59220035it's the price to pay for having no weaknesses you see
>>59220035Dragons have to be in the game because they’re popular but they don’t support the concept of dual energy because it makes it harder to control the viable decks so you get intentionally undertuned mons
>>59220035>>59220106Dual energy works on the TCG because they're cards you can draw/search/discard as any other card.Pocket making them limited to one per turn, and random, is what killed dragons.
>>59217290Parasol Lady is a shit Ilima? At least she cute.
>>59220097Ah, yes. The most underutilized mechanic in the game when you force decks to only have 1 color.
>>59220113And they've done nothing about it. There are a dozen ways to make dragons more usable, but they instead do nothing because they enjoy dragons being useless.
>>59217337They could've made Cabbie so much cooler looking
>>59217372>no new pokemon added to the electric list
>>59217361I’ve been messing around with Dragonite GA, being able to put a giant cape on and still use sky blessing might make it slightly less bad
>>59220239The problem with things like Memory Light is that basics that evolve into a stage 2 don't have good attacks. You need to go the slow route and not use Rare Candy, and the game is way too volatile for that.It would be fun for Melmetal, then it can have Amass and the Heavy Helmet.
>>59220239I can see it working but you need at least one card to stale while you evolve dratini intro dragonair and then into dragonite.>>59220260I feel like Melmetal Ex and Donphan Ex benefit from the new celebi the most. It works best with stage 1 cards.The only stage 2 that I cna see using it, alongside rare candy, is Decidueye if he somehow has only one energy and needs to attack.
3 hours till New Set Drops
>>59220281>I feel like Melmetal Ex and Donphan Ex benefit from the new celebi the most. It works best with stage 1 cards.Yeah. I'm excited to try out Donphan with all of the new tools in this set.I can't wait to unpack them in a week after the meta has shifted.
>>59217372Someone working on pocket really REALLY likes the magnemite line.
The tepig line is sort of cute. I'll give it a shot.
so what exactly do we think will be good?I have 1100+ hourglasses because there's been no reason to spend them due to boring pokemon choices and stagnant meta...getting bored
>>59217372>New lanturn card Yay!I just wish it was usable...
New Set Drops in 1 Hour
>>59220465wish they got these arts instead
Where update? It's fuckin 8 pm est
>>59220646Whoever told you 8 est lied.
>>592206462 posts above literally tells you how long till the update drops
Did you remember to complete your random solo battles?If not, there's still some time...
>>59220668Yes, my Venusaur did it all for me.
>>59220668Ill do it....later
>>59220580>boring pokemon choicesWhat would pique your interest anon?
>>59220580Fighting support will be good.M-Lucario will probably be good.Crustle might not be as bad as everyone thinks.Magnezone will be fine.Victini would be nice if you want to run Moltres.
>>59220672M-Venu is so fucking based it's unreal. It's even better for me since Venu is one of my actual faves and I'm a lazy fucker so I can just have a deck that is both satisfying and basically play itself. Looks neat too, though I'm missing a 2nd FA Erika.
>>59220689desu....idkMaybe more legendaries to play as, but the current focus is Megas
>>59220697>though I'm missing a 2nd FA Erika.I have one on an alt, want to trade?
How long?
>>59220693Crustle just feels so basic.Starmie has been powercrept and crustle is just starmie with +30 hp and a big retreat cost.I'm not saying its a terrible EX. It doesn't really have anything against it but it just doesn't feel like its got a lot going for it either.
>>59220697Isn't it better to run 2 lillie 1 Erika?
>>59220724About 10cm
>>59220724*unzips pants* >:3
Got shiney immersive mew in like my 3rd or 4th pack last set so I'll probably get jack shit to start this set.
>>59220727Crustle has the benefit of several different cards to buff it, along with a tool to mitigate its damage taken.
>>59220728Erika can be used on any grass pokemon so she comes up more frequently.
>>59220742Yes but how many cards are you using to prop it up and is it worth it vs EXs that don't need this same level of support.Like, yes if you open dwebble, 2 riolu and also draw into crustle and both lucario you're hitting pretty hard for 2 energy but you're basically playing an exodia deck.
>>59220739I'm rooting for you, anon. You got this.
>>59220760Is it that much different than Bellibolt?
>>59220760Anon, I regularly see bax decks get double bax+chien online. Getting crustle+lucario and a stadium doesn't seem that hard
>>59220766Even 1 Lucario + stadium is matching damage with Altaria.
>Trying to farm last minute random battle hour glasses>Luckily mission 3 and not 4>Game forces me to update 13 mins before 9pmwtf
why would you ever use crustle when mega lucario exists? it's LITERALLY the same card but better.
10 minutes till New Set Drops
>>59220790You can play Crustle twice whereas you can only play Lucario once and you lose
>>592207902 points not 3
>>59220765>>59220766>Yes but <deck with good EX> does the same thing!Yes but crustle is a mid EX.
>>592207917 minutes till New Set Drops
>>59220802How you get the post to appear at the perfect second?
>>59220739I opened 133 packs and got zero immersive mews and zero shiny immersive mews. Good luck with the new set
>>592208055 minutes.
>>59220794okay, but why wouldn't you just play a nonex like hitmontop or a cheaper ex like hitmonchan and then go into mega lucario? why bother with dogshit crustle?
>>59220809FAILURE KEK ALERT
>>59220811I like crustle. He looks funny.
so how much hourglass are you gonna dump with the new pack?
>>59220813Shut up.
>>59220742I was just kinda thinking how it's funny, you could argue that all other things being equal, a 3 retreat cost is better than a 0 retreat cost? 3 retreat cost is almost certainly better than a 2 retreat cost. Funny how that works
>>59220816idk prob like 30 pulls and then complete the rest of the set with my alts while i spend the month pulling SRno point going for 24h picks on full sets with how expensive it is to get all 20+ 1* arts
>>59220816Between 240 and 480. Depends on how unlucky I get.
>>59220816120 probably. I want to save for a better set or a randomcdeluxe rerun.
>>59220809KWAB
When will we get the ranked season reward hourglasses?First time playing a season and they're already burning a hole in my pocket
>>59220809Lol>>59220805I just got lucky
>>59220832Unfortunately it's like 2 weeks
>>592208200 retreat is significantly better than 3. it lets you pull the card out of the front and immediately go into something else turn 3, which comes up a lot in mega manectric decks when electrike is lead and zeraora is drawn turn 1.
It's JustThatEasy
Good luck anons.
Where did the old binder covers in the shop go
EWWWWWWWWWW
everytime i open the home page it says i have a gift but i have nothing wtf
got a RR Corvinknight. is it viable?
man i hope there's a single deck out there that can reasonably play this card lmao
>>59220859i hope so
>>59220864It seems like such a bad card desu but congrats on the hit regardless
Saved my dailies for the new pack. My miserable streak from Mega Shite continues
>>59220848Nevermind
>Only 6 Themed Collections>3 of them are avatarsWoah...
>>59220836Bummer. Something to look forward to I guess so it's not all bad. Thanks.
>>59220702I'm all out of dust, plus I have no good trade... thanks for the offer.>>59220728whynotbothBut also Erika can come in very clutch for Bulba and Ivysaur
Lucario and Sobble from one 10-pull, a second Lucario from another.
>40 packs>1 ex and it's shitass corviknight>1 2* and it's fucking cabbielollmao
>>59220893I did 4 and didn't pull a single regular ex. Just 2 3* M-Lucario, shiny Hitmonchan, and shiny M-Blaziken.
>>59220875Question for you:Did the game give you any binders that you hadn't previously purchased when the pop-up with them appeared?I need to confirm something...
>13 packs>no ex>1 FA meltan>1 FA morpekoGuess I'll try again tomorrow
I like the new collection complete screens.
>30 packs>4D Corviknight>1* Quagsire and Malamar>Planeta Magnezone>Shiny Steelix and Jolteon exMostly I'm just pissed this is another 155-diamond single-pack. Finishing the diamond Dex for FP was horrible and this will be the same. Were emblem missions literally removed to cover up the fact that this is way too many cards for one pack?
>>59220855It's the island display board. It glitched out so now everyone gets it. If you already had it, it won't appear.
>>59220904They did yes. I had only purchased maybe like half of them, but I have all of them now.So yes, I conveniently and accidentally saved myself from spending more shop tickets, if that's what you were trying to confirm.
50 packs.
I'll be out of binder space once we hit C series. Hopefully the game dies and goes offline by then because I know they won't add more than 15 slots orherwise.
>>59220968Do you put every card in a binder? Why?
>6 (SIX) non-secret themed collection missions for this set>half of them are just new profile picturesWas I naive to think we'd get an equivalent to the retcon shinedust rewards from themed missions now that emblem tickets are gone? Or just more glasses at least? Jesus.
>>59220976You get 2 WP glasses per row filled in the card dex.
>>59220958I usually wait to get them at the end of the month along with the Hourglasses.Yesterday when I tried to open the shop to get the Mega Shine one, my game forced the update, so I'm a little afraid of missing it.Thanks for the info.I'll wait for my daily pack to see if it shows up.
>>59220996Whenever you open your next pack, the game will shove every emblem, icon, and binder cover you would've collected by now with your current cards, whether you already acquired them or not
Also got FA kubfu and reg mega sceptile ex and zoroark ex. Not bad.
40 packs, can do 5 more2 sceptile, 2 magnezone2 vaporeon with full artother full artsthats about it,
every ex has its own associated hidden themed collection with 12 wp glassesalso you get 24 trade glasses for collecting all pokemon of a given type (i got dragon)
First 10 pull and I already got my chase for this set (FA Parasol Lady).
>open a bunch on main to get anything>alt on first 10x gets both FA Camerupts, Fa treeko and Zorua on the same pack and a shiny DragalgeAlt favoritism is real
>>59221014>the game will shove every emblem, icon, and binder coverThat's why I'm afraid.The game has already thrown everything at me, except for that specific binder.It was after the update, but before the pack's release time.In a few minutes I'll know if I should go cry with the support.
>got RR VaporeonI could prob get FA Oak with this from some pokefucker
>140 packs >only this garbage What the fuck
Call it cope if you want but honestlygold frame rare candy > crown rare candygold frames look amazing in general
>>59221061FUCK
>>59221027next 10 pull got me FA Cabbie lmao
It really bothers me that all the Shiny Mega are positioned differently from their Planeta counterparts.
>20 packs>1 ex that's corviknightVery cool
Im going to wait for my next 10 pack tomorrow morning to reset my pack timer
>>59221090One thing that I never see people ask for is a fixed pack timer.It would be great.
OH BABY HERE WE GO
>>59221092Yea sometimes i have to skip 1 to reset both happening at the same time. Also a multi open option when mass collecting packs. The mechanic already exists with the 10 pack. How hard could it be?
>>59220960Just going by the math, that's not bad but it's obviously not great either. It's basically extremely average. Sorry, could've been worse at least.I also did 50 packs and got very similar to you.1 diamond = 61/65 (139 dupes, 150 total)2 diamond = 36/51 (35 dupes, 71 total)3 diamond = 13/29 (2 dupes, 15 total)4 diamond = 2/10 (1 dupe, 3 total)1 star = 8/24 (2 dupes, 10 total)2 star = 1/233 star = 0/21 shiny = 1/202 shiny = 1/8crown = 0/2Ultimately I'm ok with it just cause I'm happy with the 3 diamonds and the 1 stars. 4 diamonds pretty rough especially with getting a dupe in there that could've been something else
>>59221098Lets see it
>>59221103also got a mega audino Rainbow Rare in pack 6 loooool>f2p btwfeels good man
>open 176 packs (22 pulls per account for 8 accounts)>0 (zero) 2*lol?
>>59221112>8 accountsHoly mental illness
>>59221112that's what you get for being a filthy altfag
>using alt accounts to get virtual cards bad>spending hundreds of dollars to get virtual cards goodthis shill campaign is so transparent
>>59221134who said anything about spendingjust don't be a lucklet
>>59221134Yes. Cry about it, poorfag.
jesus christ gold frames are sexy as fuck
>>59221134they're both loser behavior
>>59221140if anyone's crying it's you, paynig.
The monotype pack
>>59221107Not bad. I got some good pulls and f2p as well.
>not a single EXThis pack is going to hate me. Doesn't help that it might be a bitch and a half to complete.
Holy shit. I blasted 2.9k stockpiled Hourglasses on my alt and I'm still missing cards. Can you dudes help a nigga out?>Gallade>Single Strike Urshifu>Bombirdier I can hook you up with something you're looking for in return
>finally reached 10k cards on main account>still no GPFeels bad man
>being a paynig in twenty-twentysix (2026)Cooked beyond belief
Halp I just wanted a rainbow Flygon…even if he sucks. If any of you anons got one and don’t care for him, please hit me up. He’s my fave.1566430520317811
>>59221045Nothing...
>need to get a 10-win streak in the rigged Expert random battles for all rewards
>41 rolls>No rainbows or FA trainersfeels bad
>>59221221It's streak-based now?
>>59221238Advanced Random Battle has three point-based rewards (5pt for 600 dust, 10pt for 12 wonder glasses, 15pt for 24 trade glasses) and one streak-based reward (5-win streak for 12 pack glasses)Expert Random Battle has three point-based rewards (10pt for 800 dust, 30pt for 36 slop tickets, 50pt for 24 wonder glasses) and two streak-based rewards (5-win streak for 12 pack glasses, 10-win streak for 30 trade glasses)
>consecutive wins missions are backFUCK YOU!!!!
Always on the first day of the new set the game will make me brick 5 games in a row just trying to do the solo expert step up battle then I never have any issue doing it again in the future
>Gliscor is pack filler for the 3rd time in the rowGlibros... when is it gonna be our turn...
>>59221062Too bad you cant do this for prof Oak and the pokeball since they count as promo cards
>>59221205What 2* do you have on offer?
do you guys think there's any chance that this cabbie guy i pulled is usable in any deck?like maybe in a grass deck it can search the stadium which you can immediately use as a pokeball? or maybe to search plaza in a chandelure deck or something? or is that just pure copium
>the enshittification continuesThank you dena, guys say thank you
>>59221374no lol its bad
>>59221379figures i'd get the worst one
>hmm the still shot for the Lucario immersive seems interesting>oh I got it let's see what it's->LizardonMan ffs really? They really went and sabotaged an immersive just to give Charizard another fucking one? Fuck the nip boner for this thing.
>>59221374You can use him with shit like Tornadus I guess
>5 consecutive wins quest>on the 5th game>alolan muk paralyzes my mega venu 3 times in a row>then sleeps me and I fail the roll >losefuck this faggot game
>>59221384its the same as running 3 stadiums, but why would you do that is what I dont gettheres no stadium that you want 3 of or 3 diff stadiums in this game (yet)
>>59221396yeah, there's no point in having that many stadiums. literally the only deck i could ever see even considering it is very specifically a chandelure deck, as 1 cabbie 1 stadium is better than 2 stadiums due to cabbie fueling chandelure. that being said he's a brick if you draw the stadium first, so it's gotta be discard chandelure on top of that.
>>59221370Here’s my pokemon. Let me know if you have any favorites here.
>got playsets of mega lucario, mega sceptile, mega audino, zoroark, corviknight, flygon, and magnezoneah yes life as an altfag is good
any cool new decks yet?
>>59221423anon where the fuck did the pixels go...
One more Oricorio
>>59221426i only got one malamar so i can't play it but it seems funny
Does any nigga have a Gallade? I'm desperate to finish the Diamonds and I'm willing to trade any other 3 Diamond
>>59221374Psychic decks have that stadium card for -2 retreat thats useful
>>59221430hopefully the next one is oricorio ex
We did it boys.
>>59221482Very nice!
Is anyone trading the new FA Mega Lucario? Whatcha looking for?
QR code for friends and battles...
>>59221489I'm looking for Korrina or RR Mega Sceptile
>>59221514Sorry bro, I need the Korrinas for Lucario...
>>59221264why are jews so evil
I'm tired boss
>>59221264These jokes are really demanding WINS IN A ROW now Insane
What is RR Sceptile worth?
>>59221603Going off the Reddit trade Discord, he's the third most asked for two star, behind Korrina and FA Mega Lucario
>>59221566I wouldn't mind wins in a row if they didn't have Cyrus and Oricorio in the pool, I have some decks that could easily keep farming otherwise.>>59221603I'd give something good for it, like PCL FA or Will FA, but nothing as high as the usual suspects that people ask for. There are only a handful of people desperate to make higher trades. I'd like RR Sceptile myself but I'd rather blow my emergency spare Cyrus FA on a time crunch pack like Deluxe 2 electric boogaloo. New pack card values drop after like 2 weeks anyway.
new wonderpick animation is even worse...fuck are these retards doing
>>59221685I'd rather know the card I got right away instead of getting blueballed
>immersive Lucario's static artwork is the closeup>the animation just zooms out and lingers on Lucario before panning out to show CharizardThat's it? Gyara and Blaziken's were ugly too but at least they showed up a lot of Pokemon
Did they make even normal EX bullshit hard to get? I opened 50 packs and only got one single normal EX.
>>59221722you're just unlucky, I did 30 packs and got 4 exs
Pulled two shiny Crobats already, anyone want one for a shiny Dratini?

>>59221782new toy syndrome probably. it doesn't look great compared to hydreigon.
>>59221782furfags and >>59221787
so wait, does grass even run pokeballs anymore? forest is a pokeball that's reusable every turn, blows up your opponent's stadium, and doesn't get locked by chingling. isn't it just better to run 2 copies instead of any pokeballs?
Wow my first godpack.
>Got sacked in the 10th gameFuck getting getting those trade hourglasses then
>>59221863condolences
>>59221863grats anon :)still waiting on mine, been playing since launch :/
>>59221863Been playing since launch, and I just hit 30k cards with this set. I even blew my savings of 140 packs on this set. I'm starting to think my account is bricked.
>>59221395You're playing mega venu and complaining about sleep
Blaziken but green is actually pretty annoying to deal with.
I know you're in here. Stop sending me shitty cards the instant the time resets. It keeps me from getting actually rare shit, and I'll probably pull it from my daily packs anyway.
I got a weird bug where I claim my arigatos and they still remain
>>59222017im just trying to help you get all the cards from the deluxe pack ex sis...
>>59221879Buy more gold stupid gaijin
I pulled 90 packs and got 1 2*. This game does a really shitty job at trying to get me to spend real money.
>>59221863>frenchew
I got FA Zoroark, FA Cabbie, immersive Sobble and rainbow Magnezone EX. Decent.
>got a 2* of the stadium searcher but none of the stadiumswell ok
Mega Audino with Brambleghast is certainly a brew.>take 30 from audino onto each one>heal the bench and yourself for 30>indeedee for good measure
