Hammer In Edition

>I want to learn the game, where do I begin?
Download PTCGL at https://tcg.pokemon.com/en-us/tcgl
The 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/guide
There's also the old /tcg/ guide at https://imgur.com/a/W4NkOu6
After that, look up meta decks and try to reverse engineer them to see how things work.

>Where to find meta decks?

>>59263916
You 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.

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?
>>
>>59265018
Life 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?

In expanded yeah it's still great with adp. It doesn't actually have any cards in standard right now

Ceruledge 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.

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.

As>>59266526 mentioned. Go to there for that question. But usually in that case it's because of three factors

New currency to enter as well (like the old tournament tickets) so we might be getting tournaments again eventually too.

nice, 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

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

That 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.

bro..? have you been buying backs of the actual sets instead of celebrations?
>>
>>59267626
Not 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.
>>
>>59267634
I 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)

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?
>>
>>59267720
Big 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.
>>
>>59267620

I 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.

>Misty SIR will save this garbage set from selling poorly!

>>59268127
ending 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
