Hammer In 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: >>59248781Old /tcg/ pastebin: https://pastebin.com/Ge95YuMA

Blissey tank with munkis sharing the same dark energy while saving Blissey with Cheren was very fun.

>going to indianapolis and naic>no deck looks fun to play epic
>>59264791Then why are you going?
>>59264791>traveling more than an hour to play a card gameNgmi
>>59264801because my friends are going and pokemon is about the friends we make along the way
You can bring back one archetype to get spiritually reprinted. What is it?
>>59264811Fair enough.
>>59264817ultra beast's prize card interactions
>>59264829This but only if it's actually playable. I want to whip out the Beast Rings from my collection
>>59264811Festival niggas are fun
Sorry I schizoed in the previous thread>>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.
>>59264829>>59264845>Pult explodes a ghost>Ultra beasts brickaack..
>>59264905>pult exists>i brickWhat's new...
>>59264878>said nothing about selling their cards>”scalper”That word does not mean what you think it means.
Dusknoir is akin to ADP but nobody complains about it..>5v5 prizes in a game>Sometimes 4v4 prizes>Except they also get to remove one of your key pokemon in the process It's certainly not healthy
Honestly I didn't think ADP format was that bad, but I was having fun playing Rapid Strike and Centiskorch VMAX
>>59264567>oops seems like you just lost, what a shame!
>>59264865>Reddit: the deck
how would you navigate the arboliva vs ceruledge matchup? i'm the arboliva how do i win, do i try to just prize trade rush?
>>59265018Life sucks and you probably lose if they get 2 ceruledge out without you being up enough to win off the early advantage. I don't think there's enough esoteric knowledge that can help you out when the deck is killing you twice as fast as it does other people and you have to work harder to kill it in return. Just hit the thing that slows them down the most and try to stall. Just put out Budew if you can't swing with Arboliva immediately and pray lol
Is solgaleo still competitive?
>>59265062In expanded yeah it's still great with adp. It doesn't actually have any cards in standard right now
When does the set come out on live? I want to play Beedrill
>>59265178it's usually the day before the set release date
>>59265037Ceruledge does not give one fuck about item lock. Your only hope for a win is if they cannot get into a single copy of Ceruledge turn 2. Also Ceruledge laughs at the idea of you bench sniping its 1 prizers.
>>59265313Yeah thats what I said
>>59265018you might have to tech for it. add acerola mischief or something
>>59264567Ey, i got that card
One by deck out lmfao.
So how often do Pokémon card sometimes coming out of packs with an almost pumpkin orange text instead of the usual yellow Pokémon text on the back of the card? I say since I have a Espeon V alt full art from evolving skies I got from an elite trainer box a few years back as well as Noivern V alt full art from the same box. Say since I'm not sure if its even possible to have a fake set with a real one in a sealed ETB with those two being in the same one.
>>59266504>>59257996
>>59266504As>>59266526 mentioned. Go to there for that question. But usually in that case it's because of three factors>Its fake>Sun exposure>Low ink when it was being printed.
>Live is getting build and battle formathttps://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/24044/build-battle-is-coming-to-pokemon-tcg-livehttps://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/24043/2026-build-battle-scheduleNew currency to enter as well (like the old tournament tickets) so we might be getting tournaments again eventually too.
>>59266766Sick! I (generally) love limited formats.
>>59266766nice, the build and battle boxes have been getting scalped so its nice to have a way to play them without spending an arm and a leg
>>59266766>Not just dragapult or regidrago spam format>No defined meta since it's rng cardsIt's gonna be... fun?I miss the old theme deck days. I know they'll never return since they don't make theme decks anymore but those were fun Imagine if we ever got a hearthstone arena-like clone format. Where you pick cards to go into your deck. I would play the hell out of that
>>59266766mite b kewl
>>59266766>2 weeks>2 days>2 days>10 daysThat schedule is a bit wonky. But I'm not sure how you can make a better one if only one BB ladder can be active at a time.
>live bug simlol, no
I am going to remove Rocket Khan from my Live deck.I had 3 matches in a row with this one as my only starting mon and not a single transceiver, Ariana or Proton.
>mess around with crushing hammer on tcg>go 0-4
You are not a dustlet, right /vp/?
>>59267035With how many ruling slip ups are happening irl lately, it looks like that is more bugged lol
>>59267620>>>>>>>>>>90>41k bro..? have you been buying backs of the actual sets instead of celebrations?
>>59267626Not him, but I was taking a break when Ascended Heroes came out, and all the full arts I want are from that set. I already have over 200k dust, so I just buy ASC packs hoping to pull them.
>>59267634I opened around 150 packs (mostly codes from youtube openings) trying for the regular FA lillies back in journey together and barely got them, only finished 4 with the free ones from the battlepass/ranked. Since then I don't bother trying for the FA/SIR I just wait until they're craftable (stupid ass change not letting you craft them sooner than 3months)
>>59267620
Are there any good decks running Lillie's Pearl right now? I think it's underused and any box with 2 Cleffairy and 2 pearls could be good no?
>>59267720Big Basics (Slop Box) can run it, though usually at 1 IIRC, to help a little with the Pult match-up and utterly shit on M-Lucario.
>>59267620I have 300k+ purple stuff and 900k+ gold stuff, it's all worthless
If you play this card, your turn ends.Search your deck for up to 4 Basic [W] Energy and attach them to 1 of your Pokemon. Then, shuffle your deck.
>>59268127>Misty SIR will save this garbage set from selling poorly!
>>59268127ending your turn really sucks but I guess it's to stop mega greninja from doing a billion damage off 1 supporter. maybe you can use this in a slower wall deck. milotic ex is still legal and theres a couple of water attackers that can paralyze
Feels really fucking bad bro.
