I need that Korrina so badly...

I've only been lurking & swiping packs for the past 3 or so months. Is that stadium card that changes the weakness rules to 2x meta or nah?

How's that deck? I've been trying it out and it's pretty solid from my experience.

>>59273140
Its not meta, still a niche gimmick

Why did they stop giving us deck slots?

Not at all. It's too situational; and chances are if you're up against a deck weak against yours then you already have enough of an upper hand that it's not worth it to really go further. I can at least see it working in the event that we get another fucking Suicune meta where 1 type is the literal S++ tier that destroys everyone else, but considering their most recent meta additions of not are "Blaziken, but Grass type" and "Alaria, but fighting type;" it would appear that the card will be virtually worthless for the forseeable future.

I had some fun putting it into my Oricorio/Greninja/Deceduleye deck for a bit. But it was only ever really useful against Water decks since Oricorio becomes a very threatening force under it. Unfortunately nobody plays water decks this meta, and if they do it's Alolan Ninetales, who you don't want to waste energies on Oricorio for (especially since it's weak to Metal). It KINDA came in use against Fire decks, since Greninja becomes a pretty hard carry. But the current Fire types in play can oneshot Greninja and are faster at coming online than it, so even with 120 + 20 damage, it doesn't feel like it pays off. Plus, using Field in this matchup guarantees Deceduleye gets oneshot by Blaziken when it otherwise can withstand a single hit with 10 HP. So it ends up...not being worth the risk. For reference, this is the deck, just change the field out and replace Cape with Lucky Egg (to replace the draw power) and that was my best shot at making the card work. In the end it rarely saw use, and when it did it didn't feel like it had a payoff worth using.

tl;dr - It's okay when it works, kinda fun to pop off big damage, but it rarely ever works and isn't worht the tradeoff when it does.

>>59273140
Doesn't work on megas so no, but even if it did it's not good enough since it requires you to have elemental advantage which is completely random and in any other scenario it's useless. The only neutral use it could have is as a way to remove your opponent's stadium but if you're using it for that you might as well use a stadium that does something for you. It maybe could see some nich use in noEX tournaments but only there.

>>59273154
It's an unga bunga deck, extremely straightforward, but it suffers a bit from energy economy since fighting has no ramp or energy recycling and it's not a deck that enoys going first a ton. It does come online fairly fast and M. Lucario hits hard enough that you can afford to sack some mon to charge it up. I have not yet tried the variant woth M. Lucario + regular lucario for extra damage but I fear it would be brick prone. In my deck I run a copy of blower and that shit has won me multiple games, I'd say slot one in if you can.

I'd burn the stupid accessories and set HIM free. Fuck you retarded cuck clown.

>>59273174
This deck is still good in the current meta, btw. Made Materball very easy day 1 again with it. People are definitely more familiar with it now, especially since Goomy is getting more use in other decks this time around. But it still often requires your opponent to actually use their brain instead of flow-charting, which already filters a lot of shitters in ranked.

Genuinely what is the point of trying to play this game the cool way when faggot strats like this reward the player more, other than feeling cool when it does work?

Keep giving me more excuses to post Glaceon!

Earlier today went against a genuine paypig, every card 2*, crown , 2* shiny or gold border, paid sleeves, coin, etc, Zoroark/Absol deck, complete insanity.
Makes me sad too because people like this are why DENA gives 0 shits and refuses to improve the game in meaningful way.

>>59273193
the ori isnt 2 bad with the rocky/darkrai i was losing that matchup in ultra/low masters as well thankfully nobody is running it in top 1k

>>59273229
This game's meta has been completely destroyed with ice pop and now the new Darkrai. There's basically no point in trying anymore because there are so many more coin flips that will outright determine a game.
>>59273246
It was unwinnable for me because I couldn't get my board up fast enough and by the time I did he had Greninja+Cyrus to win.

>>59273240
if you saw my magnezone deck you'd think i was a paypig desu

>>59273197
That would require effort and paying people more. Why would they do that when they're already making money hand over fist not only doing the bare minimum but actively and openly fucking over the players by increasing how much you need to grind to get all the Hourglasses?

Is this game fun yet or it's still the same shit?

I also have a good number of 2* and 1* including Oaks and could build some premium-looking decks, but that guy was 100% a certified paypig and flaunting it, which is frankly the most baffling part. Imagine flaunting that you spent who knows how much money on a digital card game that doesn't even respect your time.

>>59273297

Fucking hell, I just lost to this faggot flipping heads on Lucky Ice Pop 17 times through the battle.

>>59273264
>Is this game fun yet or it's still the same shit
It's actually just fucking worse.
If you remember Igglybuff from Secluded Springs? For no Energy, deals 10 damage and puts the opponent to sleep? Well, they added a new Darkrai with an Ability that hits the opponent that's asleep for 20 damage (and it stacks if you have multiple of him) before the sleep check. It encourages absolutely hokey coinflip stall that's also incredibly Energy efficient because babies don't require Energy to attack, so you stall and get free damage while you charge up your big boys in the back.
And they added Lucky Ice Pop. It's Potion with an insignificant downside and a retarded advantage. The downside is that it only works on the Pokemon in the active. The upside is that you flip a coin after using it, and if it's heads, you add it back to hand instead. The only limit on the healing you can get off of it is your luck. As I indicated at the top of my post, this one faggot got 17 heads with it, healed 340 damage. He didn't even lose it to a tails, he just killed me after stalling me out long enough.
The game is fine if you don't mind losing to multiple swings of luck. If you get tilted by that sort of thing, it's just become so much worse.

collecting gold borders is fun
but i'm pretty sure dena did this specifically to fuck over new players by making staples more scarce

>>59273336
Oh yeah, Eevee is probably the best current use for it considering Psychic has a meta killer. Grass not so much, but I see how it helps occasionally.

>>59273336
i love the leafeon/espeon deck honestly
really fun in casuals, dunks on a lot of stuff (hydreigon, zoroark, lucario, sleep scam altaria and blaziken) and people never play around bounded field because it's off-meta

Ha ha ha, this little faggot Greninja has apparently been so used to getting free damage on the most important backrow targets that he didn't even know what Poncho does. He targeted my Mega Lucario in the back fucking two turns on a row for zero damage before wising up, all while Hitmontop kept punching him in the face.

>>59273383
>Fucking hell, I just lost to this faggot flipping heads on Lucky Ice Pop 17 times through the battle.
kek pocket in a nutshell

So we know Ice Pop is getting the gold card in the next DX pack, right? What else will get one?

it's crazy how many decks are playable these days. literally all it took was grass getting a glow-up and knocking hydreigon down a peg as a result, and now we have the most diverse meta in history.
shame about the coinflip slop though.

>>59273450
ice pop getting a crown would be funny because that's literally a nerf. the extra animation would add so much extra waiting that you'd be able to get one less flip in during your timer. it'd be objectively worse than the 2D.

>>59273445
It has the potential to be so much free healing, and your only reason to not run it would be if you have other cards that you deck absolutely must run to do what it wants to. If you have the room or your deck focused on stalling forever (or even just long enough to turbo out absurd amounts of damage), it's a must-add.

Got a second Immersive Sobble.
Nice.

>>59273460
Yeah I run one in my deck its a cancerous card but your retarded not to utilize it

You chose to play it, chum. You're disrespecting yourself just as much as Dena is.

I didn't know the 24h WP also appears if you don't have all the 1-star cards, but it shows the 1-star cards you're missing. Does it shows 2-star cards as well or do I have to own all the 1-star first?

>>59274357
It can show 2 Star cards, but it's quite unlikely to. It selects the WPs from a pool of all the WPs in the world that contain 1 Star and 2 Star cards that you don't have... so since 1 Star cards are simply far more common than 2 Stars, you are far more likely to get handed one with a 1 Star.
For absolutely no reason at all I will also be posting Kris and her wide wife hips and her big beautiful butt.

>>59274367
I remember that if I added a card to the wishlist the 24h WP would show that card. Does that work or not?

>>59274357
You can get 2-star cards as well, and even godpacks.

>This game's meta has been completely destroyed with ice pop and now the new Darkrai. There's basically no point in trying anymore because there are so many more coin flips that will outright determine a game.

Yep. Literally 2 cards killed my desire to play.
I'm off premium and I don't touch ranked.
Just play quick matches from time to time and insta-scoop if I see even a hint of sleep scam.
The game doesn't do nerfs or bans, so that's that.

Hydreigon, Altaria, and Greninja are annoying, but they are deterministic and you can plan around them.
There will always be a meta in any game.

>>59275525
Anything with choices will have optimal choices, but sleep and ice pop just aren't even fun to play against. You're at the mercy of literal coin flips.

>>59273264
Losing without even taking a single turn is much more common now.

>>59273405
Yeah. People are going to be a lot less generous going forward.
Even if someone has 100 copies, they might start wondering whether diamond borders will be added.

>>59273405
I need to open more Mega Rising packs, because most of my golds are from Shining Revelry and basically worthless for trades.

Also, what's the best site/app for gold trades, please?
Trading with random friends has always been very unreliable - the only advantage are the lower prices than what you see in the market (that is, if the trade goes through...).

rare candy was a mistake

>>59273451
If deck diversity is the metric for success, I have the solution.
Add a supporter card that flips a coin.
Heads you win, tails you lose, instantly.
Just like that, every deck is viable with a 50% winrate and we have max deck diversity.

Fun, skillful, interactive, back and forth plays are the only valid metric for a good meta.

>>59275559
i don't think you're going to get any gold border trades anon
gotta assemble them the long way

>>59275579
Nah, getting gold border trades would be very easy if there was a market.
Anyone that chased a crown has tons of golds to spare and is probably missing golds from other sets (unless they whaled literally every set).
Coping and hoping for PokeHub to add one.

>>59275591
Can't you just setup trades for the same card? Or do you have to own 10 at once for it to count?

>>59275579
I'm confused, can we trade gold borders? I thought this was just another "flair"

>>59275534
Yep.
I hate sleep in the main games.
I hate sleep in the spin-offs.
I hate sleep in the main TCG.

I had fun in Crimson Blaze playing Pokemon with pretty limited RNG.
Then, came Ice Pop.
Then, came Darkrai.

>>59275595
You need to own 10 at once.
You can trade for them individually, but it's super slow.
Plus, you can only trade 5 times at once without burning your trade hour glasses.
You only get 1 free trade a day.

>>59275595
Given that you need to hold 10 at once, people are going to hoard and stop sharing too.

>>59275617
Kind of wish I would've been stingy early on in the game instead of trading away meta relevant item and trainer cards to new players to help them get started.

>>59275591
i dunno about very easy, man
i pulled for crown pokeball myself and only ended up with 2d card counts in the mid-high 20s, which translates to 1 dupe
so for every person pulling 500 CG solgaleo packs for crown solgaleo or whatever, you have 1 (one) spare gold leaf cape being put into circulation
and if they pulled both solgaleo and lunala packs since they share pack points and crowns, then whoops they don't have any spares at all

>>59275597
yeah, they're like flair
you can trade flaired cards for other flaired cards, same goes for gold borders since they're just another flair
it's basically an altfag-only feature though, nobody is going to trade you any kind of desirable gold border

>>59275617
>>59275614
I see. At least they're not as dumb as the foils from Deluxe that count as a complete separate card in the dex.

>>59275597
It is another type of flair.
You were and still are able to trade flair.
Just edit the card when you send the trade request.
Flaired cards can only be traded for flaired cards.

The flair market had very little interest before, though.
Regular flair trading is worthless now too, because you don't need to exchange cards for regular flair and unlock flair levels anymore.

>>59275624
>mid-high 20s
Then, you're lucky and pulled the balls early.
I have almost 40 copies of each trainer and I didn't even go to 5000 pack points.
I bought one ball and packed the other a little later.
So, I have 4/5 golds for every 2 diamond.

Yeah, only 3 of my 2 diamonds from Shining Revelry have fewer than 30 copies total.
So, maybe the market isn't for you, but you are an outlier.
Most people will pull a crown and buy the other.
Maybe even buy both copies for those multi-crown sets.

>>59275655
i pulled one on the way to 2500 and bought the other, i wouldn't consider hitting a 1/500 chance one time in 500 packs to be lucky desu
and pokeball is also a special case, most people aren't going to pull for more than one of a crown unless it's pokeball so very few people are going to have those kinds of card counts aside from giga turbo whales who more than likely already have all the golds they want anyway

>>59275661
Was that Tauros gold only?
Can you trade naked gold for gold with flair?

>>59275679
Huh, that's very weird.
That is literally the normal route.
I have 390 pack points in SR, so I should have less than 120% your 2D count.
Did you share a ton of random 2 diamonds to people or something?

>>59275682
nah it was flaired
(battle) flairs don't show up on the trade screen, while (cosmetic) flairs do
i just threw the free flair on both

>>59275694
Gotcha. Thanks.
So you must trade gold for gold, flair for flair, and flaired gold for flaired gold, right?

>>59275701
correct, no way to cheese anything extra out of a trade

>>59275704
Thanks!

At least, this game has good scam protection.
People can only cry about trading their Sabrina for a rainbow or something.
Not like Online, where you can trade your life savings for a Pidgey.

Maybe they should add 2 for 2 trades in the actual app, so people stop getting scammed on PokeTrade thinking that they'll get an Oak.

>>59275693
i may be foolish, i was only looking at trainers and yeah i must have shared them at some point because my mon counts are noticeably higher, tentacruel specifically is all the way up at 45 despite me only having 24 copies of PCL so i probably would've had raw trainer counts in the low 30s which is 2 dupe territory
still, i don't think there'd be much of a market for golds (aside from maybe 1ds?) since the amount of people actually pulling for crowns is small and a lot of packs only have one of "desirable 2d(s)" and "desirable crown", but not both
who's actually pulling STS for crown dialga or palkia to supply the giant capes and rocky helmets? or CG for solgaleo/lunala to source the rare candies and leaf capes? not a lot of people, that's for sure

>>59275723
if they added 2 for 2 trades i would actually consider trading my spare oak, kek.

I have the promo Ditto and I'm looking to gold the regular one, because we don't get premium promos in pairs and it has no shiny...

Anyone that pulls 2 crown extracts will have 2 or 3 spare gold Dittos and it's not like Ditto is meta or anything.

I agree that trying to get gold meta items is hard, but 1 gold candy could go for 1 gold cape.

>>59275778
Yeah. The 1 diamond market should be good.
Maybe I'm coping, but I feel like the 2 diamond market will be tolerable, if PokeHub supports it. Any other platform - DoA.

3 diamond is 100% DoA, though.
Easier to find 5 trades for the 1 star version than for the 3 diamond that you want.

>>59275784
Magnezone RNG is more tolerable, because you can plan around it and set up your mons to be able to retreat and attack without the flip.
Magnezone can't skip to stage 2 with candy, so you have time to get energy.
Sucks for high retreat decks, but I don't play those, so I don't really think of Magnezone as an RNG deck.

Same with Lopunny's confusion - only the 0 to 180 damage scaling annoys me.

Note that if I hated RNG completely, I wouldn't play a card game.
RNG that doesn't promote interesting strategy (sleep, flip a coin to do a billion or zero damage, flip for paralysis, etc.) is what annoys me.

>>59275823
Needing to evolve and place multiple energies in order to reach the coinflip is a big differing factor. Igglybuff does it for free, and can do it before you're even allowed to play the game.

Take 1000 people all of average skill (50% win rate).
Let them play 10 games each.

Balloon that up to a million average players in ranked and you have a 1000 guys with competely average skill with zero wins in their 10 games.

Just play more games.

we were doing so well until secluded springs. what happened?

>>59276260
Basics doing over 100 damage with only 2 energy.

>>59276260
Suicune + Greninja happened.
Everything after that was just somehow worse.

Hitmontop-Lucario just can't compete with this crap. It feels like they brick every third game, and even if I don't, they just can't get online fast enough if they're going first because you can't charge Lucario if you're feeding your Hitmontops that are behind the curve. Lucario needs babies to keep up with the variance if you go second. I genuinely don't get how this deck did well in that tournament short of just getting lucky and going second enough times.

>>59276438

>running double Hitmontop + Tyrogue
You were bricked anyway

>>59276438
>>59276442
You can run Tyrogue if you only care about cheap quick damage for 0 energy but you lose bench sniping and it dies easy. You can also run Hitmonchan EX if you're not scared of bricking to the bird since he does more dmg than Top and has more hp, but again no sniping.
But above all you can just plan better. Deciding wether your hitmontop is going to attack or just be a meat wall is a key part of making the deck work, especially when going first. Yes I agree that fighting got done dirty with the complete lack of ramp or recycling but the deck is still solid, I would know because it got me to MB and faster than I got there last season.

>>59276625
Right? How dare people want the game to become better rather than worse?! Imagine playing a card game where your opponent doesn't have the ability to randomly heal for absurd amounts of health for free, effectively negating all damage range calcs and making anything that isn't a 1-shot pointless, the gall!

It's called LUCKY Ice Pop, why are you mad when it does exactly what it says on the tin and works for somebody who got lucky? I've had more than enough of faggots crying because "oh wah boohoo this isn't skillful this isn't fair"
It's a fucking card game you retarded nigger, "luck of the draw" is literally part of the name of the game. If you want a "pure skill" game with no luck besides determining who goes first or second, go play chess or some faggotry. Card games can require some skill in knowing HOW to play the cards you're dealt, but luck is the name of the game. You don't like it? You're in the wrong game, faggot.

I made it to Master Ball. Switched teams after an awful losing streak with Mega Lucario and just deciding to play for fun. Somehow, FLYGON was the mon for the job.

>>59276252
It's so fucking stupid how Darkrai's effect triggers BEFORE the Sleep check. Like yea, I get the logic behind it given how the card is written and how the turn order puts status checks AFTER a player finishes a turn. But it doesn't make it less fucking retarded that they literally designed it that way instead of the obvious trigger AFTER a failed conflip. What's even more retarded is that they didn't program the game to simply discard your Pokemon at 0 HP and you're still taunted with a heads/tails interaction even after you're fucking dead.

It would still be a good card, just way less fucking obnoxious, if it only triggered damage when you actually fail the fucking cointoss.

>>59277091
This would at least make it so that when Igglybuff sleeps you, it's not a fucking guaranteed 50 damage upfront and you can actually have SOME counterpoint (LOL if you can call flipping a coin cointerplay) against just eating shit turn 1 before you can even draw your first fucking card.

>Goomy dies to burn
>Flygon switches in
>turn immediately passes before he can do his thing
Oh, okay, so Darkrai can spam his free damage and the game's mechanics are favorable to him, but Flygon can't get his sandstorm going on switch in. Dragons just can't have shit.

>>59276989
I'm faglord

>>59276996
>He's doesn't remember trade tokens
Those were rhe worst

>>59276989
If it's in the game the only faglord is the person who cries about them. If you don't like it, leave.

Flygon EX might be the most fun I've had with a deck since Dragonite (Genetic Apex, not EX). Why are Dragons the most fun? I also kind of enjoyed STS Garchomp.

>>59277160
Because dragon decks are a problem you have to solve while regular decks are basically prebuilt for you.

>>59277160
Because you tend to have to put more work into them than the average deck, but they can pay off super hard, and often in unique ways. Have you tried Haxorus?

>>59277165
You're right, especially about the payoff usually being something unique or at least uncommon. Dragonite bombs the field with meteors, Garchomp can draw and kill (and also has a 100 damage attack for 2 Energy, which is rare for a non-EX), Haxorus grows stronger the more Pokemon are in play, etc. Speaking of Haxorus, I did try him, but his greatest selling point is Iris and you can't use her the same turn you used another supporter. For how difficult it is to assemble him, he needed more stats (even if that required making him an EX).

>>59277111
Status resolves during the Pokemon Checkup after the abilities. If your Goomy dies to damage or Darkrais ability, Sand Slammer will activate on the switch in.

On the flip side, if Flygon gets killed by burn/poison, Sand Slammer will activate during the end of turn even though Flygon is already at 0 hp. I actually won a game like this once.

>>59277160
It’s a pretty mid deck but still probably the closest to a „meta” Dragon deck we ever had. They problem is they get 0 support cards and have to deal with getting energy scammed every other game. The only reason Flygon kind of works is because you still get a value out of it even if you can’t attack.

Can I make it to Ultra Ball from GB2 this season using Blaziken/Heatmor or do I need to switch the Anteater for Castforms?

>>59277416
>They problem is they get 0 support cards
Yep. I remember thinking Juggler would save them when he first came out. Oops, three Energies!
>and have to deal with getting energy scammed every other game.
Uh huh. Just lost a match where my first four Energies were Grass. I kept playing and I was exactly one turn off from winning (though I would have lost earlier if he had Cyrus).

>>59277467
Castform + Stadiums is pretty much the secret to Blaziken's success now. One Energy attackers for basically 50 damage against everything that isn't Arceus is huge.

>Sleep scumming is so cheap status nullifiers practically become mandatory, tanking every status along with it

>>59277503
Could anything be slotted in over the chicken, or is the 2 energy requirement simply too good when factoring in Flame Patch and Castform's single retreat cost?

>>59277504
Sleep Scam was a mistake
Darkrai was a mistake
Ogerpon was a mistake
It's not fair

>>59277508
The going rate for a good attacker these days is 120 for 2 and 90 for 1.

>>59277508
Nothing beats chicken, the only other fire attackers worth a damn are the M. Charizards and those are better paired with Entei. Castform's whole point is being a decent threat that can take an early game hit while you get and charge your chicken.

>>59277508
Castform and chicken are just so effective at what it does. Castform can effectively do 70 damage on a failed burn flip if they don't switch out making it one of the best early pressure attackers. The fire typing with flame patch makes switch out into it and attacking easy. Then the second copy of flame patch makes attacking with Blaziken a non issue. Other types like Sceptile or Lucario would have to worry about committing energy elsewhere without a patch card.

Regular shinies should cost the same as 1 stars.
And ex shinies and 2 stars should cost 10k each.

>>59278289
Same here. I'm guessing it's because more people are quitting the moment they hit Masterball instead of actually climbing because the meta is fucking AIDS. So the threshold for "upper Masterball" can probably be met in like 5 wins or some shit.
