Weighing Anchor Edition>I want to learn the game, where do I begin?Download PTCGL at https://tcg.pokemon.com/en-us/tcglThe 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/guideThere's also the old /tcg/ guide at https://imgur.com/a/W4NkOu6After that, look up meta decks and try to reverse engineer them to see how things work.>Where to find meta decks?For big irl events, go to https://limitlesstcg.com/decksFor online events, go to https://play.limitlesstcg.com/decks?game=PTCGFor japanese events, go to https://pokecabook.com/archives/1417Previous thread: >>59219338Old /tcg/ pastebin: https://pastebin.com/Ge95YuMA
>>59248762In standard? Trump cardIn expanded? All the time Standard bans pretty much NEVER happen unless they impact irl events like trump card did causing massive overtimes. They never ban for stuff being oppressive like budew/dragapult/lugia etc either. It's only bans if it enables you to win turn1 before your opponent can interact.
>>59248843The last standard bans were bellelba and mismagius in Darkness Ablaze. Mismagiis could evolve and self-ko in one turn alongside reset stamp. Bellelba was banned partly to remove all of eternatus's counters, and partly because of oranguru/excadrill card recycling.
>>59249013Huh I remember thinking that was for expanded but it was standard. but yeah it's in line with their philosophy of only banning turn1 donk/locks
Posted in the wrong thread meaning to post here just got back into buying cards for the first time in like #0 years and I got this in my second pack
>>59249207congrats it's useless
>>59249210
>>59249222what are you gonna do, offer it to your opponent to get them to concede? that's bribery and will get you disqualified
>When you win a game because your opponent prized their third Ceruledge EXI almost forgot how much of a pain in the ass it is to face a deck you're type disadvantaged against. It turns the 2hko meta into 1hko.
>>59249634Not running 4-4 in Ceruledge is a stupid idea. Your opponent deserved to lose.
>>59249207We aren't scalp niggers here. Fuck off and go somewhere else.
>>59249643Don't care, still feel good for the win.It's either getting highs from this or from toxic faggots who emote spam when they think they are winning, and then AFK when they realized they lose and time waste out of spite.
>>59249688Can't wait for them to print more megas to counter dragapultLike WOWZA that gallade and floette can hit 200 damage?! crazy!!!!! dragapult is dead!
>>59249688Bros.... I don't think I'm cut for this meta.......
>>59249844There's no counter to pult that's the problem.There is no way to stop pults bullshit unless you A. Disable their effect, or just simply outdamage it.Those are the two counters, anything else is going to suck.Getting rid of budew is another choice as well.
>>59249844the gallade is probably designed to be played with 4x wally. which is neat lore wise
>>59249927Pult falls off if they print something worthwhile. Why use a mega pokemon hitting 200 dmg when dragapult does the same while being a 2prizer. There's just no benefit to running half this garbage they're printing nowadays Budew is a 1 off in most lists now, it's not the main focus anymore. Even if you remove budew, dusknoirs and blaziken, dragapult will just find a new partner. It was ran with pidgeot or charizard before. It can be run with rockets crobat if they wanted next. It's not even pults fault, the next bdif would've done the same. There's just nothing new to contest it because every new set is so damn WEAK since they're trying to tone down powercreep
>>59249986>We have electivire at home for 1 more prize and worse support
Powercreep DOES need to be toned down, and if that means one bad format rather than creating another two/three years of bad formats just to make a deck that keeps up with Pult now, then so be it.
>>59250003People thought the same once urshifu's left then mew/lugia took overPeople thought the same once mew/lugia left then gardevoir took overPeople thought the same once gardevoir left then dragapult took overBecause they never do hard rotations it means the older cards will always be strong, as newer cards are fundamentally weaker as they're "toning down" powecreepIt also takes ONE fuck up releasing a strong card or synergy to completely ruin the meta for the next 1-3 years, look at what regidrago did in the end. It was completely unintentional and if that happened earlier the meta would've been even more degenerate. Same with lugia and rainbow rares/rainbow energy. ALL those years of toning down powercreep ruined in one moment, since they don't ban cards here eitherSo instead of trying to tone it down and risk 1 bad egg ruining it all they really should just be making cards equal/slightly above the current powerlevel.
Qrd on the Expanded format's state? And do you think its pool is too large now?
>>59249903I am so fucking happy Arven is gone.
>>59249207I got this as well in a 6 pack box. it's super cute and the art is nice, worth 70 ungraded and a lot more if it's nice, but I want to keep it cause I like it.but that's one of the more valuable POR cards. also, the clefairy rare matches the art (if you put it above or below), pretty cool.
>>59250000>280 is the same as 330Retard
>>59249986>Pult falls off if they print something worthwhileYeah, so you just want a mega with a two energy cost that does 320 damage for free.You are just going to bitch when that becomes the new 25% top preforming deck after usurping pult and all the other decks are even shittier compared to that.It's not the way to go.
>>59250000280 for FIVE energy.
If it wasn't for Dragapult the meta would be incredible with a bunch of different viable options. The Megas are also mostly balanced pretty well except when compared to Dragapult. To fix this issue I propose we rape all Dragapult players until rotation.
>>59250614>Electric generator and eelektrik>3/5 of the cost can be covered with acceleration energy from the set afterBefore all the HP powercreep with megas 280 would be the 330 now. Obviously it was shit, but that just shows how bad excadrill is gonna be too
>>59250638>You just want somethng more brokenlolno? Something at least playable. Something better than the 3 PRIZER DOING 200-240 FOR 3 ENERGY we've been getting constantly as of lateYou know, the SAME amount of damage 2 prize basics have been doing for YEARS now? That does not justify being a stage1/2 card which rewards +1 more prize card. They're not even attempting to make anything competitively viable, nothing even close to being viable. That's the problem
>>59251265Just play Zam where you can draw 20 cards every turn and do 400 damage for 1 Psychic on a 1 prizer.
>>59251265Bro you keep harping that none of the megas are playable, but I'm running into lucario, lopunny, froslass, starmie, kangaskahn, venusaur, meganium, feraligatr.They are out there, but I'm going to be real with you also. Do you know how many fucking unplayable EX mons there are?Out of 20, you will get maybe 2 that will see actual play.Still you won't explain what the fuck "playable" is to you, because apparently it needs to one hit KO EXs or it's not playable to you. And if that's the case do what >>59251329 said and play zam or hydrapple.The discussion is stopping pult from overtaking the entire meta, not how apparently you really want to play megas.
>>59251265I get your point but I think the cards you posted are bad examples because they have interesting attacks and abilities that could make them see play. also while one shotting the active is good considering raging bolt still hasn't retired yet, it's not the end of a deck just because it can't take ko each turn. arch, n's zoroark, and mega absol all made cash or won tournaments even without having a big 330 damage attack
>>59251440>Dude I'm running into all the megas from the first 2 mega setsMeanwhile all the ones in the last 6 months have been filler. Even mega greninja is just a 1 off, the deck is primarily the tera fighting greninja So yeah, point stands. New sets are garbage. When garbage ex like cobalion, yveltal are doing the same as 3 prize megas, perhaps you know.. there's a problem with the megas..I'm not out here asking for megas to be doing 350+ dmg for 2 energy like you're larping. I'm asking them to be WORTH their extra prize card. It can be giving those megas useful effects or abilities like greninja. Just doing 16 poison, 200 dmg, 200 dmg, 210, 240 dmg with no additional effects or abilities just aint it. Why bother with those when 2 prize basics are capable of doing the same thing. >Do you know how many fucking unplayable EX mons there are?Well yeah, majority of the new ones are completely unplayable as well. Fucking everything as of late has been unplayable. If the gimmick of the mega evolution series isn't even worth running what's the entire point. They "upgraded" them to 3 prizes compare to gen6 megas and these look absolutely awful in comparison of the other 3 prize gimmick of vmax vsing v's. Our current megas are not justified for being 3 prizes, not anywhere close
>>59251470Spending a turn on delphox 1st attack to get hit for 220-280, if not ohko'd in return doesn't gain you enough initiative. That's HALF your opponents prize cards at risk. The mons you pull can't enable you to pull a come back after that. Delphox is stranded on board at low health unless you wally, and boss order is as spammed as ever. Greninja has a good ability so I don't hate on that despite it also doing 200 dmg, but the other 3 prize megas aren't so creative. Arch has acceleration to turo loop, zoroark multiple attackers and trade. Absol hand control. They were also in mega pre-mega HP so it was patched up with poison/munki's easier than it is now>I can use a basic mega absol for 200 and pick what to discard>Or this stage1 for 160+conditional 50 and 2 random discardsAbsol got to use bravery charm back then so their HP would've been the same. You see what I mean with the newer cards being so lackluster man. The first 2 mega sets did well, that's where (mostly) all the current viable megas are from. After that it went downhill and is why the meta is at a standstill
>>59251470Zoroark hits 330 when boosted. Do you not know how the deck functions?
>>59251490They was referring to zoroark before rotation and pre-zekrom anon, it still had success before that released
I haven't played or boughted cards since megas released but now I'm back and want to remake my decks with the new stuff. I go to a store to see what's in stock and only 3 pack POR blisters are left so I get one and pull this. I think I'm off to a good start this season
>>59248781TCG should do print on demand
>>59251760technically that's what the trainer kits are for
>>59251766The what?
>>59251774sorry I meant toolkitthese things
>>59251777Oh. I didn't know they printed those on demand
>>59251786they don't but it's a way to get the most used cards out in public without printing on demand
So, I'm looking in this game's direction again, but my Charizard/Pidgeot deck is out of rotation. How is (Mega) Charizard doing right now? back to being shit tier? Saw this as one of the first things in a google search but is it too simple for today's meta?
>>59251794It's shit. Don't bother.
>>59251794it's dragapult or bust >>59249688
>>59249688>Dragapult dominating ever since rotation>Mega greninja releases, it's playable but still shit in comparison>No meta changes in sight for monthsIt's gonna be like this all year, isn't it?
>>59251821>It's gonna be like this all year, isn't it?T-t-think of the mega darkrai..! It can ohko!! (Keep in mind it's useless vs 1 whole type, blocked by two common special energy and harder to pull off compare to absol) but it's an ohko!! that's kills dragapult!Storm emeralda will be july 31st in JP. Sadly out EN release of abyss eye is releasing early july so it wont be merged. Our next set will be around sept, so the meta will remain the same till then if the rest of abyss eye is as bad as excadril and this shit
hmm who would've thought an era/series of just gimmicks wouldn't become meta?
>>59251861Megas before were very meta though, even with the spirit link shenanigans they had to deal withThey just royally fucked up the nu-megas. It's good they didn't bring back "big basics" but what the fuck were they thinking with 3 prizes. I would take the spirit links back over that
Ratio of usable exs and filler exs doesn't seem all that different from usable megas and filler megas. Kang, Absol, Lopunny, Froslass, Lucario, Starmie, Diancie, and Mawile have all seen some play.
>>59251877You'd think they would've learned their lesson about 3-prizers after the TagTeam/VMAX era and all the complaints people had about them.
>>59251891Mega evo and phantsmal flames had the good megas yes. After those 2 sets it went to shit. Just froslass and greninja (and starmie until greninja). Visually like this you see the big power drop after phantsmal flamesSo we've had 3, coming up 4(if the rest of pitch black sucks) sets of bulk, which explains why the meta hasn't changed at all since rotation
>>59251973People will play Excadrill. It won't be good, but it'll sneak wins here and there, and people will play it.
>>59252034Metal slopbox seems more effective than stacking 5 energy on an excadrill desu
>slopnah, i'm good
not everything is slop bucko
slop my meta up!
apples
phantom slop and place 6 slop counters on your bench
draw slop
Name one (uno) deck that isn't pure slop
>>59251793Oh I see. Is there a reason why they don't print on demand?
My deck: pureYour deck: slop
>>59252429Unlike other competitive card games, the demand for pokemon cards is like 99% collectors/scalpers rather than the people actually playingThey're all after the high rarity and unlike other games like yugioh (Yugioh has fixed that in recent times tho reprinting competitive staples a shit ton) All pokemon cards have a low rarity as well, nothing is exclusive to higher rarity. So it's cheap to get staples, and even cheaper when collectors are burning through packs just for the ultra rares. Meaning competitive boxes like that generally aren't worth the money still, it's cheaper to buy singles still As for printing on demand, the collectors are already begging for that to help fix the scalper issue
You know what.I went to look into Sabrina, cause there was some thread talking about how pyschic used to be the "evil" type. And I had to confirm that in the manga she worked for team rocket, like surge and koga.I stumbled upon this pocket TCG card, and frankly. I am now on the side we need a Sabrina boss's orders. Again doubt we will ever get it, but I need it now.
>pocket1000% slop
>>59252452Card art is good though for some of the cards.You can't tell me if they printed that as a boss's orders, you wouldn't want that in your deck.
>>59252437I hope they print on demand someday. Just so I can go to a store and buy packs
>>59252460We already have the Ghetsis one which is easily the best Boss's Orders art we'll get
>local meta is mostly zoroark, dragapult and alakazamshould i go for mega starmie or rocket's mewtwo?
>>59252429They don't have the capacity to keep up with their current printing schedule, much less print more.Big new facility in NC coming online soon, which may help. But I bet it'll be used to expand the number of skus and only slightly increase booster printings.Still, they're leaving a lot of money on the table. In an ideal world, they'd sell every unit to distributors (like currently) and market price would be right at msrp (which it obviously isn't currently).
I have Festival Lead and Ceruledge either made or about to be made because I'm getting tired of not having fun decks to play.
>>59253678To be fair, if there was print on demand they would print less bulk (useless) cards and more of the cards people use for actually playing.Just say "we are not printing on demand for FA/SAR/w.e, only regular version of the cards". Want those? Buy packs.They are making money, prints would be made 24/7 and come out already paid for anyway.
>>59252415garchomp, lucario, zoroark, alakazam, feastival lead and my shitty sharpedo deck are examples of pretty round, focused decks.
>>59252447I'd hand them down and ask my opponent to use it so I have Sabrina bossing me around.
>>59254016Festival lead is slop if you get a bad first hand. It's LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to win with a bad first draw and no variations of the deck will disprove this fact
>>59253958They wouldn't be able to print those profitably for less that you're currently paying. Lowest rarity playables are currently heavily subsidized by the chase cards.
Playables are cheap and they do get reprinted in those special shiny/alt art sets Pokepad, stretcher, power pro, all the good rockets cards, lillies, forest, poffin, boss, balloon, terapagos, rotom, dragapult line, n's pokemon, fez, lucario, garchomp, rocks, munki, clefairy, eelektrik, pikachu all got reprinted in ascended heroes. Others too but they're the big ones
>>59254406My locals sees anything base-rarity as bulk, even all those playables you mentioned. They'll sell them all for bulk prices because I guess they think only full arts and alt arts are worth anything. I've gotten a stack of around 80-100 cards full of staples and deck cores for like $4 before because it's just bulk to them.
>>59252884Dude looks like a loser.
>learn fossils aren't considered pokemon in your hand>therefore if you play fossils you have to run other non fossil pokemon or you can't have a valid opening hand>budew cucks you of placing your fossils because they are itemsI didn't realize how dogshit fossils are, why do they even bother printing them? It's wasted card space.
>>59254544They are, anon. Check tcgplayer, none of those are more than a nickel, buying individually as singles.
>>59254853He's just like me
>>59254544>>59254864The biggest cost of singles is usually the shipping costs, if you can't get them all from 1 seller. If your locals is selling cards like that definitely take them up for it if you still need them
How can we tell if we have a fake single we got off tcgplayer? I just want to get a few singles for a deck and want to make sure im not being scammed.
>>59254932If they're lowest rarity, they're real.
>>59254936Im looking at some illustration rares I wanted to display.
My daughter is getting into TCG Pokemon and I bought her a Victini deck and I just made a deck out of my old Pokémon cards and Jesus Christ the HP on these newer cards are insane. But, I want to get us more decks and its insane that they're either sold out or stupidly over priced
>>59255014>I want to get us more decks and its insane that they're either sold out or stupidly over pricedBuy singles. You can build any deck from scratch for under $50.
>>59255031Any recommendation on decks I can copy at all? I'm trying to find one with either Umbreon, Espeon, or Sylveon
Festival Lead is peak vibe. I don't know why more people don't run it. Searching your deck for 3 cards per turn is just broken.
Anyone else know this feel?
>>59254176"Slop" is a pile, you add so many techs that it loses its identity completely (if it ever had it).What you are describbing is inconsistency which meas shit for the argument at hand. Bad hands can happen to any deck and you can get donked even when you have say 4 poffin, 4 ultraball and 4 palpad.
>>59255103Do you want a competitive deck or just anything? Theres https://limitlesstcg.com/ where you can search a card by name and find decks its included in at the bottom of the page (sometimes cards are only used in city league decks, in Japan).Now for random pile decks for the sake of using pokemon you like its a bit harder. You'd have to understand a bit more of the game to know whats good or bad and try to include some copies here and there. For example, for an Umbreon deck you can add some Toxel/Toxtricity as energy acceleration, Pecharunt EX to swap pokemon in and game finisher, Yveltal as free retreat and clutch (not let your opponent retreat their pokemon)...For trainers you can check meta decks and have an idea of the ones used the most, like Lillies Determination, Boss Orders, Buddy Buddy Poffin, Ultra Ball, Pal Pad.
>>59255465>meta faggotrySaar we are playing for fun here not participating in a $100000 kitchen sink tourney.
>>59255481I hate fun winning, you paste-eater.
>>59255142people play it and it did well at prague but it has no easy way to deal with any of the pult variants so it's not going to be incredibly popular
>>59255142I met a guy who hated festival lead so much, he built a mega scrafty deck just to laugh at festival lead chuds as they kill themselves attacking the scrafty with a punk helmet.
the apple fears the fish
>>59251877>but what the fuck were they thinking with 3 prizes.see >>51273871
holy meds
>>59255571You know what, bet. Im already playing a shit dark deck, might as well take advantage of that and try scrafty. Only need them spiky energies I think, and scrafty itself ofc.
Ass load of pre-releases this week. Who is hyped?
>>59255623you only play it the moment you use itif you delete it the next turn, it's already too late
>>59256232>Who is hyped?For what? Wait two weeks and buy a playset of Special Red Card for $2.
Henry Chao is so fucking bald LMAO
>there are more Dragapults (590) than the other five decks combined (565)
>>59255815Spiky only provides 2. So you would be retailiating for 70, you need to hit 80. Punk all day.
>>59256232>Go to my first sealed>Learn the culture is everyone just stays for 3 rounds, gets their packs and fucks offYeah I'm no longer hyped. This is just giving people 7 packs for 30 dollars with a bunch of time wasted.I thought at least like magic or something you would get prize support for like placing or anything. It's kinda depressing unless you're a scalper trying to make quick cash on ebay.
>>59257340Weird, stores around me do give out prizes in prerelease events. Maybe it just that specific store.
>>59257389Guess I'll see.I'm going to one other store later this week. And that same store 2 more times for two more pre-release events.This is the only time I'll get ninja spinner set packs anyways with the state of scalping in my state.
>>59257284>Before special red card btwBetter make all the upcoming sets useless dogshit though
>Pre-Release 1>Goodra>Got Cinccino >Went 1-2>Pre-Release 2>Crobat>Got Mega Pyroar but didn't play it>Went 1-2Lightning money on fire like a champ.
Packfags get what they deserve.
>>59257975You can't get your precious singles without packfags you monumental faggot.
>getting paired against infinite Dragapults>went from 1600 to 1700 in an hour
>>59257284>>59257560I still can't find a secondary deck I like. Is it really going to be nothing but Dragapult until this fall or something? Are they going to print anything good this year?
>>59257284>TFW you realize all of the decks you run right now are grass.
>>59258196awesome :-)
Is battle cage bugged? Why does froslass hit your own abilities if it's up
>>59258190>Is it really going to be nothing but Dragapult until this fall or something? Yes >>59249688>Are they going to print anything good this year?So far no. Chaos rising adds nothing to the meta (besides red card which makes dragapult better)Pitch black, the upcoming JP set, so far has revealed nothing good. Mega darkrai, the spotlight card of the set looks incredibly badIf the rest of pitch black really is just as bad, it means we wont have any meta changes until september this fall yeah
>>59258249have you tried reading the card buddy?
NEW CARDS ALERT!!!
lost box and united wings had a kid
>ko pult for 1 energy on a basicI bet dragapult still wins against the disguise deck.
new shitter deck just dropped
I want a slopbox that counters mewtwo, raging bolt, dragapult and lucario, i'm thinking of 1 passimian, 2 clefairy, 1 latias, 2 kang, 3-4 teal mask, 1 wellspring, 1 iron leaves, 1 moltres, 1 chi-yu, 1 fezandipiti and 2 meowth exwould this be good? should i add tr mimikyu?
The new ghosts have inherent damage counter protection so that's at least something to help it survive.
>>59258455Too bad it just folds to any kind of hand disruption because the spread version plays 20+ pokemon without any kind of draw abilities.The only version that might work is turbo dhelmise.
>>59258486In a format where there is 1 good draw supporter, Gwynn is really strong in the deck and should help alleviate that issue.
>>59258421I don't speak nip what does it say
47% of day 2 is pult lol
>>59259366>[P] Regretful Rage: 30+ damage. If you have 4 or more Pokemon in your discard with the Ghost Veil Ability, this attack does 140 more damage.Guess it's alright, you still need to find clefairy. The funny thing is, it cucks lucario further lol.
Every day we slip further away from based neo
>>59259425Where is slop box?
>>59259433Raging is right there.
>SV Base>print this dogshit>2 years and saw zero play>rotates>TPCi, in their infinite wisdom, fucking reprints it as a stage 2 three prizer with barely any enhanced damage and a worse attack costThis is actually unbelievable. Pitch Black is just worse Roaring Moon, worse Spidops, and worse Archaludon. Zeraora can't possibly be good either because it loses instantly to Lucario, Garchomp, and Okidogi no matter what it does.Unbelievable we're getting a set where the only good cards are fucking fossils FOR DRAGAPULT. TPCi is fucking broken.
>>59259510The problem with every deck not named Dragapult is this thing called consistency. Dragapult is literally a stall deck with the ability to take 5 prizes in a turn. No other deck in the format comes close to that retardation.
>>59259421Who has the ghost veil ability?
>>59259557A handful of pokemon printed in that same set.https://www.pokebeach.com/2026/05/mega-chandelure-ex-and-more-cards-from-abyss-eye-revealedWonder how viable this is, considering all of those have an anti-pul/anti-munkidori shield.Maybe briliant blender will see play again.
What would you run vs Alakazam as Festival Lead? There's a couple at my local and I don't like the matchup and would like to improve my odds. I kind of want to run a second Xerosic but I'm not sure what to drop, Secret Box could be dropped for Unfair Stamp or Legacy energy as well but I do like the box for consistency, we usually do BO1 so bricking sucks
>>59259696Maybe you could stop playing Reddit: the deck, how about that?
>>59259705What's Reddit about Festival Lead?
>>59259696Do you know how to stop people from playing Zam at locals? Just have a TR deck in rotation.
>>59259767Funny you say that, last time a TR deck won but I don't think it'll dissuade many
yay it happened
Ability: Cursed FlameYour opponent's Active Pokemon's Retreat Cost is [C] more.[P][P] Phantom Maze: 130+ damage. This attack does 50 more damage for each [C] in your opponent's Active Pokemon's Retreat Cost.Yeah the meta is fucking dead until September lol >Let's reprint spidops as a 3 prizer I was excited reading through pokebeach seeing the ghost veil abilities, thinking mega chandelure would also get it to counter dragapult/dusknori from killing litwick/lampent early. but nopehttps://www.pokebeach.com/2026/05/mega-chandelure-ex-and-more-cards-from-abyss-eye-revealed
>>59259865Wow. 230 against Dragapult. Nice.
>>59259865>Boss to ko meowth/fez>lolno
>>59259865Instead of printing stuff that can counter Dragapult they just keep printing things to counter Lucario. Are they retarded?
>>59259908Any psychic type already does if they can hit hard enough for weakness. Most have fighting resistance as well so they can avoid being ohko'd without modifiers Go run mega diance it's free
>>59259767>Job to all other decks just so you can have a free win against zamLol

Let alone being a 3 prize megaMost decks in format right now have 1 retreat (and 1 chandelure ability) it's doing 230. For base 2 retreat (or with base 1 with 2 chandelure in play) it's doing 280. For base 3 retreat (or base 1 with 3 chandelure LOL) it's doing 330, not even enough to ko other megas still>>>>Putting THREE entire STAGE2 3 prizers in play isn't enough to KO other megas stillEven disregarding how latias is still in format and widely played >>59259883 the thing that literally killed all hope of spidops ever being a rogue deck despite it starting to gain popularity with venomoth/bannett back then >>59259996Read the calcs above. It doesn't do well into anything. Most the meta is all 1 retreat if you look at it, just hydrapple, and raging bolt (who has latias to bail it out)
lmao

>>59260051heh
I don't know who the new girl (male) is on this casting team but he's kinda cute.
>>59260167post
>>592585364 lillie and 4 gwynn does seem enough to recover from stamp or red card. you could also play morty but that card kinda sucks even if it does have synergy with the deck. it might just be a couple pokegear instead
>>59260080At least it's SIR looks goo- ok nvm it's generic as shit
>next main set is hoenn themedcan't wait for mega fug being a 330hp basic that loses to dragapult somehow

>>59260404>basic that loses to dragapult somehowAll this deck has is big basics and it still has a bad time. Even ClefairyPon, a deck specifically built to beat Dragapult, can still lose to it.
>>59260428New bolt bricks a ton without sada. You needing to crispin leaves you lacking a lot of draw compare to before. Look at the pre-rotation bolt, it was 50/50 for pult. It's just the result of bolt losing it key synergy it was balanced for Clefairy/diance decks lose hard to the new blaziken variants, you can never ohko that while blaziken can ohko most your deck. That's why blaziken picked up other there to deal with the hard counter clefairy decks
Just use Ceruledge.
pult vs pult pult vs pult top 4finals is pult vs pultpult wins
Ghost Veil just needs one card.
>>59260522What if pult wins? That means pult lost
>>59260530They're more likely to ban Compressor in expanded than to reprint it.
>>59260530Ghost veil sucks >Sinistcha cucked by battle cage >>Also eaten alive by basics>Bannett is just discard fodder>Spiritbomb is also cucked by battle cage and an extremely unreasonable attack requirement You need ALL 4 shuppett/bannett and 5 of the tea's in the discard for it>Only dhelmise is good but it's still a 3hko on megas. Better off using alakazam or typlosion instead of this meme package
Briar was the last card in the deck.
>>59260557I think dhelmise has potential. Having 4 veils seems easy enough, hitting 170 for one on a basic can lead to some great value plays like bossing meowth, oneshoting pult with cleafairy without using up your turn supporter or cucking lucario further.
There I fixed your meta and shitty set PTCI
>>59260681lol Night March
>>59260681Don't worry, this is your Pult counter.
>>59260738>Has to deal with the whole shitty ghost veil archetype
I NEED them to print ANOTHER mega evolution card that does TWO HUNDRED DAMAGE for THREE energy RIGHT NOW or I'm going to FUCKING LOSE ITI don't want GOOD CARDSI don't want a DIVERSE METAI want MORE shitty three-prizers so that EVERY GAME is a pult mirror because EVERYTHING ELSE is shit compared to pult
>>59260746OHKOs Pult with Clefairy for the cost of two Ultra Balls or one of the dozen not-new Draw Supporters that discard.
>>59260746As opposed to having to run a whole retreat locking archetype of chandelures+gravity stones?
>>59260746You run 6 or so Banettes and Sinistchas with Blender and lots of discard and treat them like how Night March treated Lampents. The only problem is you on;y have one card in your deck that can discard from deck, so if it's prized Dhelmise can just be a dud for multiple early turns. That said, a turn 1 Petrel into Blender for 170 is pretty devastating, especially since you OHKO Pult and can do 200 with a Bangle.

>>59260806They showed 5 so if you really want you can have 20 of them in your deck.
>>59260853i have a friend in my local league who claims dragapult is actually dogshit and this is just a collective dellusion.He still loses to every single dragapult that shows up tho, i wonder why
>>59260853the fuck is this, lmao
>>59260864masters, senior and junior division finals were all pult vs pult
>>59260866it's honestly what won him the gamerest of the deck looked the same though
>>59260557battle cage is not that tough to deal with. the only good deck that plays them is zam and you can do what pult does and play your own stadiums when you attack>>59260866the hammers are good in the mirror
>>59260845I only saw 4, who was the 5th?I think that might work, but it really like, thins our your bench presence a lot though.
>>59260969Bannete line, sinistcha line and spiritomb.
>>59261047Spiritomb doesn't have the ability.
>>59260866I keep seeing people call this shit DragaDunsHammers and it makes me want to hit them
>haven't had Crushing Hammers pulled out of my box since the last time there was a Dragapult deck>that was in 2021what the fuck
I need help building a deck around Green from the lets go games.
>>59260946Post special red card more decks start running battle cage because that favors the dusknoir buildsIf ghost veil isn't a meme and actually gets played people will obviously play it more to counter that too. I don't see it being good enough battle cage or not though. Seems like a nerfed version of cramorant/sableye
>>59258437or what would be good to counter >tr mewtwo>raging bolt>dragapult >lucariothis is the meta at my locals and i've got no answer with garchomp except against pult
>>59261311https://play.limitlesstcg.com/decksClick on the deck and click matchups to check their winrates against all the archetypes.
>State budew is the most boring unengaging slop alive and it should be banned>Pult players come out of the wood work to say it takes skill to deal with budew and wanting it to be banned shows my skill level as a playerStall players deserve the rope. It doesn't take skill to attach an energy to a basic and hit it for knock. It's never taken skill, in a game like pokemon when you can open with only fez in your hand, and then you're item locked, it's not about skill when your deck runs 6-7 energies in a 60 card deck. It's luck, it takes skill to pivot from the fez to your actual pokemon, but you can't do that when all decks are reliant on items to work, and you lock them for 5+ turns praying for a proper top deck.Fuck budew and fuck itchy pollen. At least when vileplume had this as an ability called Irritating Pollen, it made it so both players couldn't use items. That was at least balanced bullshit.
>>59261378so basically nothing that would counter all of those i listed, cleffairy ogerpon loses to mewtwo and that's the one most people play in my locals
>>59261987>banning budewjust play your items before you get pollened. its not like there is any real disruption currently so you can just ultra ball for meowth early and play lillie next turn.
>>59261311Just play dragapult.
>>59261987If item lock is that much of a deal to you then just include a Brock/Dawn pkayset in your deck. If you get truly unlucky then just take the L and move on, you shouldn't brick every other match unless your list is shit to begin with.
>>59262158I only play gen 1 pokemon like my wife Green does.
>>59262158like sure i could but it's not my style, i like garchomp and box
>>59262178If there was a deck that countered all other meta decks then everyone would be playing it, no? You have to accept the inherent rock-paper-scissors nature of this game. Honestly the nearest thing that could counter all those decks is crustle. I personally play alakazam with 4 enhanced hammers to cuck out Team Rocket out of their energies. Has worked pretty well, killed a mewtwo with fan rotom the other day lol
>>59262176idk man go larp playing Zam or something or is Dunsparce too retarded for you?
Regisissies… we didn’t even top 4 the expanded event…
>>59262228There was an expanded event? Where can I check the top lists?
>>59262187I once had a match in Live with someone like that, I had to rely on my Spidops to take the last prizes.
>>59262270Yeah, the idea to even the field to play a honest single prizer vs single prizer match.
>>59262204? We dont speak nigger.
>>59262317Oh so you're also schizophrenic too?
>>59262317"Larping" is quintessential white slang.
>>59262307And it worked.That was the only time I felt a zam deck may have a chance without needing me to get bricked.I still think Rocket Spidops have an advantage in this match, but it closes the gap a lot (I also had a single water energy which I forgot to remove, he didn't expect that one).
>>59262326>>59262320Very brownoid behavior of you.
>>59262330I am spiritually indian, sar.
>>59262330Okay Ahmed.
Wait a moment, whatever happened to crustle?
>>59260853>andrew hedrick added a single copy of crushing hammer to his deck>this completely changes the deck's strategy and is immensely important to notethen again i'd sugarcoat how no one is playing anything but dragapult nowadays if it would make my game look bad
>>59260853MEXICHADS RISE THE FUCK UP
Sup. A question only tangencially related to the TCG, is there a place where I can download the art? I've never followed the TCG but some of it looks really cool from what I happened to see a bit ago.Thanks.
>>59262171It's not bricking every other match.It's just tedious when it happens and I firmly believe disruption like budew causes should not be something that you can get out turn 1, no energy cost, and zero retreat.There should be some form of punishment for fielding budew to your deck flow outside of giving your opp a prize.One prize is worth item disruption turns while you can play freely. I don't like it, for most pult decks only running one budew, I see way too many of them start with it in their hand every fucking time.I simply think it needs to fuck off, it was a poorly designed card like pult was, and it's done nothing but harm for the meta of the game.
>>59262712Just run your own budew.
>>59262729>just be as cancerousBut that's depressing. I get competitively, you just do the same bullshit your opp does. But conceptually, it's just not fun."We both sit here for 2/3 turns and not play the game outside of draws and supporter plays." is not fun gameplay when you design your game otherwise. It just slows gameplay for no reason.
I wish Green got more trainer cards like the rest of the pokewaifus.
>>59262747If you don't have anything to play then turns would be faster, no? Also winning is the most fun you can have in this game.>>59262752>I wish Green got more trainer cards like the rest of the pokewaifus.Said pokewaifus just got their cards this year so there's potential to have a new Green card in the upcoming sets. Don't lose hope!
>>59262787I disagree. I think the most fun you can have in the game is when it's not a one sided stomp and you're trading back and forth with your opponent but neither of you have the means to close out the game you're looking for.If I only cared about winning I'd be a soulless pult player.
>>59262805>and you're trading back and forth with your opponentSo budew wars?
>>59248781Do you guys put your holes or reverse holos in your display/master set binder? Can't decide
>>59261987Dusknoir is a bigger problem especially now red card exists. they wont ban either of them but you're right in a way with budew too, not in a dragapults case but in general.they've historicially kept item lock as a premium effect, requiring a high cost to achieve, or it's an ability which also affects yourself. being on a mon you get unintentionally off buddy poffin+a free attack means you can just use energy to retreat as well instead of needing a switch out of your starting active. the game is even faster than turn1 toadlock days so that turn1 item lock is more impactful than before but is treated as dirt cheap in comparison I'm all for item locking I thought venomoth and bannett were really nice ways of introducing it back into the tcg again, since it hadn't appeared for a while. stage1+energy was turn2 so you manged to get at least a turn with a supporter+items before being locked out of them. the effect is too strong for a basic+free attack mon you can easily get going turn1 going 2nd, people already wanted seismitoad banned for that in a slower meta There's no free attackers, so the only 1 energy item locker basic priro is cryogonal and that was during tagteam era so it was raped Everyone else is a stage1+energy or basic+2 to 3 energy to achieve. Or an ability which affects both sides (with the exception of a fossil). Or an ability which is removable by pushing them out the active. All these either require a lot of set up or you can disable them through counterplaypeople will still bootlick and defend it though despite it obviously breaking the norm for cost:effect payoff. if they ever printed altered creation on a 2 prizer for 2 colorless energy you'd bet your ass those people would also defend that lmao
>>59262815No, budew is just "I draw, attack with budew" if it's not a supporter or you're hand is too good to lillie away.That's not interesting or fun. There is no game to be played, cards to be played, it's just drawing and mouth breathing.
>>59262844That phase only lasts for 2 minutes, budew only has 30 hp.
>>59262846My point stands it's not interesting or fun, and it only lasts that long if its budew v budew and not one of the many decks who don't have the space for it.
Lunatone/Solrock is a bigger cancer but no one bats an eye because of how shit lucario is lol
>>59262864Discarding one energy to draw is a cancer how?Pult laughs at shit like that because it's free prize fodder, anything with bench splash does.
>>59262846>Can't get a basic attacker on field with no search >Can't play switches to move whoever is stuck active>Even if you have an attacker you need to waste an energy(or more) retreating to it, before THEN building up said attackerIf only every basicmon was riolu tier with a 1 energy+30 dmg attack, but no most are 1 for 10 or 2 for 20 type of absolute filler dealIt just comes into play too early to preemptively play around. Other basics >>59262838 that could turn 1 item lock were in eras where you CAN use a supporter on your 1st turn going 1st. That is a lot of the reason why it's oppressive in todays standards, you don't get a turn of a supporter+items, just 1 or the other.
>>59262787>Said pokewaifus just got their cards this year so there's potential to have a new Green card in the upcoming sets. Don't lose hope!I know. I have been looking through set lists for them.
>>59262864>2 mons plus fighting restriction to do what every deck could beforeEvery deck can include a fanrotom if they wanted a free attacker that doesn't care about weakness/resistance There is a lack of draw engines right now I do have to agree though. It's just dunsparce/lunatone/zoroark/drakaloak. It's why there's such a big reliance on fez
Most based deck from the LA regional coming through.
>>59263295way to expose yourself as a creepy furry
>>59263362At least it isn't Lucario.
The way Chaos Rising went in Japan PultNoir became BDIF until everyone played Psyduck in every list and now straight Pult is best again while PultNoir, PultBlaziken and PultGren split the rest of his 30% meta share.Pitch Black is probably adding PultFossils to this meta share.
Why do people think fossils are going to be part of dragapult? The fossils suck lol
Should I just buy the single cards I want?
>>59263677Bastiodon checks 80% of the format, Archeops is mid-turn devolution, Dragapult can get both out easily and flip matchups that aren't prepared. You'd have to be a retard to not understand how Pult sets up and not see the board state he could create and just instantly win games.
>>59263699Every attacker that needs 2 energies, can just add an extra one. Bastidoon is a fosil and stage 2, it won't be as brutal as you think.
>>59263715Pult wants bastiodon to assert total dominance over the ghost veil deck that is going to be playing 6 total energy cards.
>>59263715Do you understand how few decks can reliably both one shot Pult and add a third energy, or how useless bossing and killing Bastiodon is to winning when Pult can just Night Stretcher it back or calculate the prize race where forcing the opponent to waste a boss for 1 prize loses them the game on the spot? Or how devolution-killing a Dragapult, Garchomp, Lucario, Greninja, Meganium, etc. in the middle of your turn while your full HP Pult prepares to attack/red card can win the game on the spot?You don't know how cancerous the JP format is with red card. Pult hiding behind Budews until he can set up Bastiodon/Archeops in some combination and then red carding forces boss and energy to just be topdecked for the vast majority of the meta. It's a cancerous board state that most current decks can't beat most of the time.
>>59263745Also adding that Bastiodon protects Pult from 0 energy board states with Crispin (Clefairy), Solrock/Budew/Yveltal/Slowking, most decks can't even OHKO Pult to begin with and then need to waste a turn's attachment like Gren, other Pults, Garchomp, etc.It's only Raging Bolt and Ogerpon lists that bother you and you naturally beat them with just Pult alone (+ Red Card). It's a terrifying concept that only takes a Secret Box or Petrel to set up, Pult already wants stadiums to counter Cage and doesn't really care which.
>Fossils are actually very playa-ACK
>just play a bench-clogging engine that NEEDS 2 up to not lose to boss>has a FOUR C RETREAT COST if you do get hit with boss>requires FOSSILS (dogshit), so now you're worse into the mirror if they don't prize Budew>and even if they do, you have to play FOSSILSI'm gonna be honest bros, I think I would just play a second Budew if people started playing Bastioshit.
>>59261987Wanting Budew banned is unironically a sign of a low skill player
>>59263824>Lysandre Boss's OrdersWorse than Stalin.
>>59263792There is a stadium that is a poffin for them you fucking retard. That's why people are talking about them.>>59263799You clearly are a shit player if you think being forced to boss up a 1 prizer versus a fully healthy Dragapult is something decks can afford to do. I know this place is famous for being full of total shitters, but at least try to understand the game beyond trooning out.
>>59263824how do we actually obtain dreepy in the mainline games? it may as well be a fakemon for anyone who hasn't played swsh or sv.
>>59263840Play swsh or sv.
>Boss Bastiodon into the active>they have to slowly attach to retreat>Boss the other Bastiodon into the active when they get close to paying for retreat>traps (maximum) five energy between benched Bastiodon and Pult>deck only runs nine>draw go results in deck out because Pult eventually can't pay the cost>also INSTANTLY loses to Maractus trap because of resistance
>>59263838Are you really going to run 4 fossil stadiums? Anything less and you will have to include colress or petrel to look for them. Oh and that stadium is probably worthless past the first use.
>>59263861>Play swsh or sv.That's not happening. WAAAAAAAY too many shitmons.
>>59263868Switch.
>>59263890How many bad cards are we playing in this hypothetical deck? We've got fossils, the fossil stadium, Shieldon, and now Switch?
>>59263902Switch is not thaaaat bad and if that deck is going to sue Bastodoon, then switch or another form of swithcing like balloons is going to be in that deck.
Where can we even buy packs when most retail and hobby shops are wiped out?
>>59263916Why would you ever buy packs?
>>59263920Maybe I wanted to open some for fun? If I can't enjoy that part of the hobby its not worth playing.
>>59263929Easiest way to get packs is, unironically, playing the TCG and playing top 4. Other than that, you're either hoping to get lucky and be at a store during restock when scalpers don't know, or scooping up shit products nobody wants.
>>59263937>Telling a booster-openet junkie to git gud at the actual gameSavage. You could get in trouble for hate speech.
>just wanted to play the game in the first place>"git gud with no physical cards cause they're all scalped to hell bro">a ton of horror stories about fake cards in circulation for singles?
>>59264036>>"git gud with no physical cards cause they're all scalped to hell bro"? Singles are cheap, man. You're paying maybe $30 to build a deck from scratch.
>>59264036If you want to play the game then buying sealed product is the worst way to go about it.Are singles really scalped around you? Highly doubt it.>Muh fake card horror storiesHaven't heard any.
Also just don't order from Chinese sites if you're afraid of fake singles? Who the fuck is faking base rarities to sell for pennies? The cardstock and ink costs more than what a seller can hope to get for the lowest rarity.
>>59264048there is literally nothing where I am and all retailers are cleaned out.
>>59264068Why aren't you ordering singles online? I'm genuinely confused about how you're going about this. Buy cards on TCGplayer or ebay. Wait a couple of days for them to arrive. Play at locals.
>>59264068Maybe stop living in Uganda?Anyway, why would retailers sell singles? Just order online or look up local players binders, it's not hard to build a competitive deck.
>>59264068just download live and rip a 100 packs online for $10

There's nothing else that acts like a rare candy, letting you "skip" the middle evo It on a supporter would be fine, just don't allow it to evolve the turn it was put in play, unlike salvatore.
>>59263840>Gen 8 mon doesn't exist if you haven't played gen 8 or 9
>>59264349I am currently only using Salvatore for a quick Yffario or Starmie cheesing.
>>59264303You not running Ogerpon? I mean I agree with wanting more draw support, but you do have more options than just those.
>>59263813Found the pult player.
>>59264463Pult is not the only budew abuser.
>>59264463I don't like Dragapult
>>59264413What is your problem retard? Wanting Dragapult in more than just 1-2 games isn't a bad thing.
>>59264484I'm sure it'll be in Gen 10. Expecting it to be in more games when you're disregarding the games it in is pretty stupid though.
>>59264513I had no idea what games it was in. i thought it was another fakemon from Unova or Kalos at first
>>59264430yeah I'm using the pons but if you don't open them then your set up turns can get really annoying. I thought about kofu but I saw some lists with 1x tera orb which could be enough
>>59264430Pons are a fake draw engine desu. And they need bug catching set to pop off too. 1:1 isn't a card advantage you gotta get lucky with the topdecks
>>59264515Nope, it came in SS, and is available in SV and transferable to PLA (I think, not 100% on that).It's a way better pseudo than Goomy (though hisuian Goodra isn't awful). Hopefully gets a mega someday, ideally an aircraft carrier of dreepy.
>>59264467No but I firmly believe pult players are the only one who will sit there and say dealing with budew is skill and if you don't like dealing with their slop, that means you don't have skill.

Your best for finding those is usually going to be tracking down a specific artist's twitter or pixiv and hoping they posted it at some point. Boorus can sometimes make that search a little smoother.

>>59263677We're already talking about Pult Bastiodon in my local scene so it will become a thing. What I don't get is that people don't understand they can just play the Stage 1 Ghost Veils.
>>59263824What an unbelievably gay deck
>>59263916You are a fucking schizo.I have 6 Pre-release scheduled this week (done 2 already). For $30/$35 you get 7 packs and a precon. That is a box worth of packs under MSRP.If that is not enough fucking cards for you stop being scalper scum.
>>59264876I get his complaint. I mean there is one store I go to that gets super shitty and all the traders refuse to let you buy cash from their binders cause the store has a "no soliciting" policy.The goal is that you buy singles from the store versus people, but when the store doesn't have them either, it's a retarded metric, so now I gotta actually build a trade binder so I can find singles unless I want to wait 2 weeks for TCG player.It's lowkey stupid and tedious.
