so is the chase card from this set rr sceptile?

>>59222430
He and Korrina seem to be the most sought after cards for sure, though I've seen more people asking for her. Mega Lucario was wanted at first but he got overtaken.

The weakness field card feels so powerful on paper but the game is literally rigged to never give you an opponent playing the deck you're strong against. I even tried while using meme multicolor decks sporting 3 types that cover the most popular decks played, and it will ONLY give me opponents that don't fit the criteria. Then I switch to 3 other types, and all the sudden the types that I would have been strong against start appearing again, while the types I'm currently strong against are nowhere to be found. IT sucks cause Claydol may actually be fucking usable with this piece of shit, maybe, possibly, as a "Oh, now you can be my answer to Electric and Poison mon" kind of way (not that anyone fucking plays Poison beyond backline support for Poison Barb).

But nope. The matchmaking algo literally is just designed to take away your fun. Only angry cause I spent all day yesterday tying to make brews for this shit. Thinking "even some shitters can get some time in the spotlight if their damage was doubled" but no. Oh, NOW you give me nothing but fighting opponents after I took the psychics out of my deck? Of course. Oh, Fire types after I removed the waters? Thanks. Smoochum felt like a good sleeper agent for this card against fighting types but then I remembered the best ones only need 1 or 2 energy to do their job.

Even slotted it into the Oricorio/Greninja/Deceduleye deck for funsies and literally never faced a single opponent weak to any of those types during my hour of testing it. It's maddening how transparently rigged the matchmaking algo is when you specifically build something like this.

The new Crobat and Bronzong has some potential with this but I only have one copy of each...

Whatever guess I'll try again today.

fighting type did not need a buff

>>59222666
Maintenance is good with Hiking Trail. You're naturally starving yourself for cards and it can unbrick you surprisingly well. I've had matches where I maintenance into CopyCat and completely turn them match around when all of the basic/evos hiding at the bottom of my deck suddenly get summoned.

>>59222701
it's for solo battles. that's its purpose.

Give me a reason to use Guzma over the new blown away card, seriously.

so any of the new cards good?

Can someone explain to me what happens if I have exactly 10 of a card and I trade them in for another gold frame. Will those numbers in the screenshot now say 0 and 2 or will they say 2 and 2. Will I have any "normal" absols left if I want to trade them or whatever, or will I only have 2 gold absols and nothing else.

Also, talk about a lame way for dena to squeeze more money out of paypigs and tryhards. Saw a trade thread and now people are posting shit like "LF: rare candy, giant cape, rocky helmet, lucky ice pop". Fuck off fags

>>59222939
You need 12 cards to be able to trade for a second gold border.

>>59222983
Gay. So in essence you're really trading in 11 normal cards for 1 gold one

>>59222540
Not really. I've observed some matches on auto. A lot of the time they partner Oricorio with Alolan Raichu. The auto AI still attaches to Mega Venusaur every turn, so the opponent's AI just hides behind two Oricorio until Mega Venusaur has enough Energy for ARaichu to oneshot with Psychic.

>>59223018
>if i can't auto winsteeak indefinitely the deck sucks
just turn auto off if you see electric energy??? i dunno maybe that's just my above-room-temperature iq talking

>>59223062
The point is that DeNa succeeded in spiting Mega Venusaur auto battlers. Making you stay long enough to check whether or not they're on Electric and then forcing you to play manually if they are doesn't mean the deck sucks, but it does mean they succeeded in further enshittifying the game.

>>59223168
>the game is shit if i have to play it
okay then don't play it
what's that? you're playing it anyway?

>>59223168
>having to actually play the game is enshitification

I have a feeling these fighting types will still manage to under perform. Mega altaria as a card is too broken, its the best source of 130 damage they’ve ever made.

>>59223177
Playing the game isn't. Being forced to grind for resources is. At that point it might as well be any other dogshit gacha like Granblue or FGO. You can play that shit but I dropped those games for a reason. Might be what gets me to drop this one, too, but I like to sit on a decision like that for a few days before committing.

>>59223197
Fine, drop the game then, retard. We don't need you. If you think this game sucks you don't even know how bad DeNa could have really made it. Masters EX is a REAL example of what happens when DeNa "spites" players. There's nothing wrong with Pocket, they're just trying to give us some extra content.

>>59223215
desu the content they're giving us is barely anything.

>>59223168
>game is shit if can’t click one button to auto win me the match while I afk

Do zoomers really?

holy shit, I think I've been beaten by a 18t Hitmonchan.

>>59223215
>It's not as bad as it COULD be
Gacha Stockholm Syndrome is a hell of a thing. This game doesn't have any custom voice acting, story or characters. The card art is the only unique feature, and it's literally just a jpeg you can download for free.
This game is devoid of effort. The UI is barebones. The soundtrack has never been updated. The UX for trading/sharing is still atrocious, it's a system that's solely supported by outside structures DeNA never made. The Friends List is still one single list without any options to sort/filter. The deck constructor is still missing Retreat Cost, and Basic/Stage 1/ Stage 2 filter/sort options.
This isn't a good game. It'd be passable for a fan-project six months into its development. Not a gacha game developed by an established studio or published by the biggest multimedia company in the world, especially not one 1.5 years into its life. It's one of the laziest mobile gacha games I've ever seen, including DeNA's older gacha games and Squeenix games.

Haven't played it but lucky egg doesn't seem that good to me. Too much draw as it is.

Not gonna lie I hate that they added this gold shit. Impossible to ignore in game, and while 2 stars make sense as a chase card goal, gold cards just push you into an endless amount of pointless grinding in a game that's already full of it

>>59222908
What do you even play with it? There's no ramping babies, no Flame Patch like Blaziken gets. Kartana and Pheromosa?

>>59223864
Katana oneshots Deino, Pheromosa spreads damage to make multiple Cyrus targets, Ogerpon protects from status, take your pick, really
Leafeon EX is also good

>>59223864
i play it with leafeon ex and a single ogerpon
probably not optimal but it works well enough, leafeon does well going first and sceptile is good going second
