second 2* WP today, second missnot that i would've really done anything with it if i hit it though, you don't need two of the same zard
Any way to make Lanturn or Garchomp decks work in current meta, just for fun
>>59283055Chomp ex + STS Lucario is still very decent. Not a top deck, but definitely usable.Chomp ex + Mega Lucario can also work but a bit trickier to pilot.Lanturn ex is unfortunately pretty bad.
>>59283055>garchompplay it with luke and mega luke, it's basically a hybrid of the hitmonchan and hitmontop variants but at the cost of needing deck space and evolution>lanturngood luck buddy, every damn deck is overprepared for status these days thanks to the ubiquity of sleep spam so you're probably just going to get run over
>>59282800This is true. But you’re still a nigger if you use it.
How to fix Ice Pop:>Every time you use this card, subtract 25 second from your turn Time Limit
>>59282919when I deny trades I usually look to share them something from their wishlist
>>59283344When I decline trades I usually open ComfyUI and generate some Pokeporn to jerk off to.
>>59283499meh, it's probably boring humanslop anyway
>>59283329Heal 20 then flip a coin, if heads heal 20 more. Healing caps at 40.
It's been so long since the last time I pulled a shiny...
>>59283499lol
>>59283830or just change the healing to 10
>>59283946i don't remember the last time i pulled a shinynot because i have bad luck with them, but because i just could not give less of a shit about those ugly retarded cardslike i saw a whale today playing with shiny darkrai and shiny mega absol and like... why the fuck would you use those pieces of shit over their GORGEOUS rainbows?
>>59283329Heal 30(Yes) damage from your Active Pokémon. If you healed any damage in this way, flip a coin. If heads, shuffle this Lucky Ice Pop into your deck instead of the discard pile.
>>59284003bro if you're putting a card back in my deck it better heal more than 30 holy shit what an insane fucking downside
we need more deck space, grass, fighting and steel support.
>>59284403>steel support.i agreem steelix needs to rise again
>>59284436i agree with this person 100%more people need to play mega steelixit's such an amazing deck, truly one of the greatest of all timeyou ALL should start playing it RIGHT NOW!
>18T oricoriohow autistic do you have to be to even think about playing something like this
>>59284455Mega Steelix will take 210 from it due to the funny hat and its own -20 damage.
My alt keeps getting rare crds and I don't have enough dust for it.
>>59284460The people playing that just want the other player to be miserable.
I sure do love Ogerpon.
Anyone with a RR Mega Audino willing to trade it for RR Corviknight?
>>59284869I'll trade it for a RR Donphan.
>its the opponent heals their ex from nearly zero to full with ice pops twice in the same match episode
Thanks Blazy, I'm sorry I ever doubted you.
>>59284872If I had a Donphan I'd be offering one. Besides the Crow I got Wishiwashi or Champ
>>59284905Temping, but sorry. RR Machamp is top-tier art, but it's not near good enough to warrant getting a playset of.
>>59284822Post your brew?
>>59285006It's the same one that the current solo event uses on expert.
>>59284822>2 mega heraew why would you do thisit's like kang you run 1 + serena so you don't have to start with it as often
>>59285352we wuz kangz can be run at 2 thanks to ilima
>>59285352It just works and surprisingly having a second Hera has saved me a couple of times. I'm not fond of using Serena just to search 1 card when there are other trainers that I could use though I do understand the situation where you lead Hera on your starting turn.
>>59285382sure until you run into lucario or zard and have to waste 3 energy retreating it to avoid getting OHKO'd for game
Why can't Dena just do 1 good thing, with no strings attached? This new WP event sucks ass.
>>59285721literally what is so bad about it
>>592858055% chance of getting the event WP down from 20%.So now to get all rewards you have to be very lucky to get all for free, while before it was basically guaranteed as long as you opened the game 4 times a day.
>>59285805Yesterday I checked every single hour I was awake and got TWO (2) free picks total.
OK so let's do some math.You can have up to 16 wonder picks available at all times, with 4 of them locked to being friend packs.So the bonus WP can roll in 12 slots.Everytime you open the game, and a WP you had available expired, the game rolls a new one in that space.So for max odds, you would wait until all your WPs expired to open the game back, which would give you 12 rolls of 20% for one of them to be a special free WP, or 12 rolls of 2.5% for one of them to be a chansey pick. (Again considering 4 of the 16 are exclusively friend pack picks, so they're not counted).Under the old system, everytime all 12 picks were rolled, you had>93% chance of one of them being a free WP>26% chance of one of them being a chansey pickUnder the new system, every 12 picks rolled>46% chance of one of them being a free WP>14% chance of one of them being a chansey pick
>>59285895Also important to note, this is if you open the game consistently as all WP expire.If you open the game only 2 or 3 times a day, the numbers plummet significantly since you're not re-rolling the WP as often.
>>59285863idk man i'm already almost done with the missionspreviously i unironically had to use stamina on chansey packs because i would go several days without getting even 1 copy of 1 of them, now that's not even possible
>>59285922It's only really possible if you don't have 24h picks to save your stamina for.
>>59285922Yes, if you spend WP hourglass to complete the missions, it's faster.The point is the event used to be completable with only the free picks, now it isn't unless you get very lucky.
>>59285931>>59285935i had a 24h pack, a random 2* i blew ~40 glasses on, and then 7 bonus packs so fari don't wanna hear any bitching about how the event is so le bad when you have so many more days to get the required wp count
>>59286032>unless you get very luckyCongratulations?
>>59286032Wow, you got outrageously lucky. Meanwhile, I haven't been getting bonus picks at all. It's literally worse than old events, because I at least had a bonus pick almost every time I checked the game.
>>59286032>many more days to get the required wp countIt's the same length of the previous ones.
>>59286034>>59286036>i'm not unlucky, you're just super lucky! everything is bad because it just is!whatever dudeyou're so jaded you look at an objective improvement and whine because it's not just depositing the cards directly into your inventoryoh wait it LITERALLY is
>>59286043It's a 5% chance every single update, it's statistically unlikely that you'll have 7 free picks in a day and a half.
>>59286041yes idiotthese people are pissing and shitting and whining over not already being done with the event on day 2 of 10you'd think having to open the game and engage with it even on the most bare surface level is literally the return of hitler with how much people bitch about it
>>59286043The numbers are out there, my guy.You had a 12% chance of getting 7 free picks in the 36 hours that he event has been going, and this is even considering you're checking your game every 4 hours when all 12 WP expire.
>>59286056Wow, opening the game every 20 minutes to check my WPs, see nothing at all, then close it again. How engaging.The new system just wants you to be even more of a slave.
>no you don't understand, i NEED to sit there and obsessively open the game every 30 minutes so i can get the event done on day 1>also fuck dena for making people log in and check WP even though this is literally what i'm bitching about not being able to doactually hilariousif it bothers you that much just use stamina on the chansey picks?>b-but what about my 24h 2* WPsyou don't have them for pulsing aura, don't even lie faggot
I just traded a rainbow Vaporeon for a 2 stars sightseer, I am insane?
>>59286087>if it bothers you that much just use stamina on the chansey picks?Yeah I would if they were showing up.But they aren't.And you can't understand that because apparently you skipped entry level probability classes.
Yes, you DO need to obsessively open the game in order to even have a chance at something appearing. The math has already been done.
>>59286099literally all i'm getting from your posts is that you're a whiny pissbaby who's mad he's not already done with the eventthere is no shortage of random 1-cost WPs for you to open if you're so against the idea of actually opening the fucking game for oncehow do you even manage the herculean task of opening your 2 packs a day? must be really hard, i'm sorry
>>59286110>The point is the event used to be completable with only the free picks, now it isn't unless you get very lucky.That's all I'm arguing about since the beginning.I don't care if it takes me all 10 days to complete, I don't want to waste WP energy on useless WP.
>>59286110What part of THE FUCKING PICKS DON'T APPEAR UNLESS YOU'RE EXTREMELY LUCK don't you get, dumbass?
>>59286118even IF you have 24h 2* WPs unlocked, you're going to have 5 of them in the 10 day period which means you only need 7 bonus packs over 10 fucking daysyou have no grounds to bitch until it's been an entire event and you haven't seen 7 bonus WPs and had to actually spend glasses at the last minuteuntil then you're still just a fucking child pissing and moaning that he didn't just get the cards handed to him immediately EVEN THOUGH they're LITERALLY just giving you the cards now instead of gating them behind layers of RNG (bonus pack, bonus pack has event card, you hit the event card) or 2-cost WPs!
Chansey picks basically have no purpose now, because you're already guaranteed to get all of the promos through missions. All it does it give you duplicates that you can't trade or get gold borders on.
>>59286098nahsightseer is cute and the vaporeon gold rush is over
>>59284460Remember when everyone thought leftovers was going to be OP
>>59286134Right, you're still not getting what I'm arguing about, dunno if for being clueless or on purpose, but at this point it doesn't matter.
Anyone else think zoroark/darkrai/M-absol is broken? I suck at the game and even I went on a 10 win streak.
>this entire argumentI swear, you fags shit your pants over everything. Are you honestly going to tell me you liked the previous style where you had to pray that you were lucky enough to see the promo cards in the bonus picks just to even have the privilege of attempting to WP them in the first place? So much complaining about having to check for bonus picks, but that's the exact same thing we've been having to do this entire time.Is it just post-Mega Rising newfags who never had to experience the older WP events with no tickets for pity? The only chance I had to get a promo Marill during its event was one singular chansey pick with 4 Weavile cards in it, so I just missed that card entirely until they did the rerun event. This is such a huge step up from that it's unreal.
>>59286159yeah, it doesn't matter because your argument has literally no basis other than muh feelsyou want to be able to do the entire event day 1 with bonus WPs sitting there obsessing over the game, because it "feels" wrong to be rewarded for just using your WP stamina like normal instead of having to slave away obsessing over bonus packs for a week and a half straightabsolutely fucking mindbroken gachaslave mentality
>>59285895>93% chance of one of them being a free WPnow do the math for how likely you were to see one with the event card in it (hint: only 1 in 4 had the promo version)
>>59286180I don't really care about the promo cards I want the coin, playmat and card back. You could get those almost immediately the old version.
>>59286147It would have been good on Solgaleo, but then he fell off because Suicune can do the same damage with draw power and not being an evolution.
>>59286180They could have just done a straight improvement and not fucked with the appearance rates of free pulls. This all started because I mentioned that Dena can't give us anything unconditionally. Everything has a downside, and it's fucking ridiculous for a game with with little to do.
>>5928620123%
>>59286147remember when "everyone" thought nasty notice was going to be OP because they can't fucking read and have no concept of how the game is actually played?good times.
I have a playset of all wp promos. It isn't hard and never has been
>>59286241Now adjust that for how many free WP you would see back then
>>59286247It's more annoying now in an environment where you're more reluctant to spend WP stamina.
>>59286249That would depend on how many times you opened the game.If we use an absolutely low roll of 3 free WP per day, you'd have a 54% chance of getting at least one of them with a event card in it.Which is still higher than the current 46%.And they're both still limited by the 20% pick rate of WP.
>>59286238I genuinely don't get the complaints about the appearance rates. You have the same chance for a WP with the promo card in it to appear as you always have, seeing as they don't bloat the vast majority of them with the shitty diamond versions anymore. It's just as easy to get a playset of the promo cards as it was in the past, except now you have a bigger safety net with the guaranteed cards from WP count. What are you even missing, the filler shop tickets? A few hundred shinedust from dupes?
>>59286262>I genuinely don't get the complaints about the appearance rates.Because in order to progress the event, I need to check the game 4x as often. This is just a way to make people burn hourglasses, because 24h picks made people too comfortable in holding onto stamina.>You have the same chance for a WP with the promo cardSo what? Why can't we just have the old WP selections AND the pity system? Why does it need to be one or the other? I never had trouble finishing the old events in a day or two.Why does something need to get worse to offset improvement elsewhere?
>>59286262>You have the same chance for a WP with the promo card in it to appear as you always haveThat's only partially true.More chances of rolling the free picks meant you had more chances of rolling the event cards.It wasn't hard to get up to 6 free picks on a single day if you managed your WP timers correctly, which would give you a 80% chance to see at least one per day.Now you have to rely way more on the RNG to show you one in the first place.
They reduced the frequency of event WP appearances because they removed the Tickets and don't want good-hearted people farming WP Hourglasses.
>>59286267You don't have to check the game 4x as often, because if you checked it 4x less often in the past then you missed out on 3/4 of the WPs with promo cards in them. The total amount of promo cards WPs you will see hasn't changed, they just removed the awful bloated diamond card ones that only served to make you waste time WPing them for a shop ticket or a dupe of a diamond you already had 10 of.The new pity system is also better than the old one, as it guarantees a playset of both cards no matter how unlucky you are with which ones appear. No more chance of only pulling Gallades and not a single Treecko, denying you a playset.So again, what's there to complain about? Did you actually want them to jingle keys in front of your face with the worthless diamond WPs? That shit was insulting.
>>59286274And you're equally as unlikely to get the promo from a free pick. At least with the old system, you had a 2/5 chance of getting a store ticket even if you didn't get a promo.
Woke up and beat this faggot to the attack button before he could rage scoop
>>59286282>we're reduced to complaining about not getting enough of the literally fucking useless shop tickets nowanti-shill bros... what have we become?
>>59286282Yes, but that's from the same 20% rate for WP in general, so now you have a 4/5 chance of getting the WP hourglass instead of the promo, on top of the picks themselves being rarer to show up.
>>59285818What. Did they nerf the percentages of it showing up?
>>59286300Yes.
>>59286274No, it's not "partially" true. it's an objective fact that 5% of WPs were bonus WPs with event cards then, and 5% of WPs are bonus WPs with event cards now. The odds of getting what you want are the EXACT same, the game just isn't jingling keys in front of you with the stupid diamond packs anymore. Do you just not understand how probability works?
>>59286290Free picks always had a 40% chance of getting you a ticket, regardless of what the card displayed. Along with the pity ticket they added a couple months ago, there was basically no worry about missing a promo. You also can't prioritize what you want first because the unlocks are in a linear progression now.
>>59286304The odds are not the same because you could roll way more picks on the old system.
>>59286304The odds of getting what you want are way worse because you need to get 12 of these 5% free picks if you want a guaranteed playset of the promo cards.But I'll keep asking until you stop avoiding the question: Why does something need to get worse at all? Why does everything need to be a tradeoff? Why can't they just improve the game and not have an asterisk next to any change?
>>59286308>I got to roll a 1 in 4 chance 4 times as often so it was more common than now where it's a 1 in 1 chance!Are you genuinely retarded?
._.
>>59286318You're missing the change in odds for the rolls to happen in the first place.It went down from 20% to 5%.You're not getting them at the same rate you did before.
>>59286267>Why does something need to get worse to offset improvement elsewhere?Because DeNa hates doing nice things for free. You always have to lose something to gain something with them. And usually, what you're gaining can be worse in a way. >gained 24 Hour WPs>lost Sneak Peek>anybody could use Sneak Peek while 24 Hour WPs only benefitted people that completed the set
>>59286312Things only "need to get worse" because you're apparently completely incapable of understanding when things get better and need to find the tiniest little thing to nitpick about so you can continue to hold your worldview that things only ever get worse. I pity you, I really do.
>>59286318You used to roll 6 1 in 4s by the time you roll once now.6 1 in 4s average to 82% chance of getting one, which is higher than the 43% chance of getting one now.
>>59286325Okay, so you ARE genuinely retarded. Glad we could clear that up.
>>59286333Not having any free picks at all is not a nitpick.
>>59286336>You used to roll 6 1 in 4s by the time you roll once nowNo, you rolled 4 1 in 4s. They reduced the odds from 20% to 5%.>B-But I personally got more!Congratulations on failing basic probability, I guess.
>>59286353Ok, 4 1 in 4s is still 63%, still higher than the 42%.
>>59286356>68.3%
>>59286346Complaining that you can't WP the useless shop tickets or the awful 2 diamonds anymore is nitpicking, yes.And literally nobody is talking about how not bloating the WP pool with worthless bonus picks means you have a higher chance of seeing random 2* picks as the slots aren't constantly being taken up by worthless garbage, funny how that aspect of it just doesn't come up because it doesn't fit the doom and gloom narrative.
This fucking Flygonfag had me dead to rights if he didn't generate four Grass Energy in a row, at least if I assume he had a Cyrus. How do Dragon lovers not just neck themselves? Half the time they can literally just lose to their own decks.
>>59286361No, wait, 63% is correct because I have to consider the 93% of rolling one in 12 picks.
>>59286356>I failed basic probability and I'm PROUD of it!Only on 4chan.
>>59286356old system:>1,000,000 WPs>of those, 200,000 are bonus picks>of those, 50,000 are bonus picks with the promo cardnew system:>1,000,000 WPs>of those, 50,000 are bonus picks with the promo cardthis is literally elementary school level math bro
>>59286377The math is all done here >>59285895You can say it's wrong all you want, fell free to correct it and post the right one if you're so sure of it.
>>59286388Yes, if you roll the same amount of picks in both systems, you're right.But the odds of the picks being rolled were reduced, so you have to take that into account.
>>59286367I used to be able to make way more progress on the cosmetics, because I'd get 4x the chances to pull a ticket instead of a 1/5 chance for free progression toward a linear progression.
>>59286392okay dude i just give up either you're baiting or you're so fucking retarded you literally would fail elementary school math
>>59286396You just cannot say the amount of picks will be equivalent to 4x lower, because that's not how chance rolls work.
>>59286388The only scenario this works is if picks were guaranteed after a certain amount of rolls.Rolling 20 5% doesn't meant you'll get the same amount as rolling 5 20%.
>opening PW on my alt for floragato copies since i want a gold border>pull the shinyi think i still want the gold border, this is kinda fugly
is this like a coordinated raid or are people just genuinely this fucking stupid
>>59286416It's a mobile game. It has a high concentration of browns.
>>59286416I bet it's the same people that complained about pull odds being decreased when they went from 2 packs to single pack sets.
>>59286432Getting specific cards in the new sets is objectively less likely than in old 2-pack sets.
>>59286435Yes, for specifics.But people were genuinely complaining that the overall odds were lowered all together when FP released.
>>59286443People care about specifics more than getting any card at all, genius. Getting a playset of anything is a chore now because of it.
oh yeah babyi'm a slut for gold borders
>>59286445Correct.
is this deck ruining the game? It feels broken
>>59286412Yeah the regular one has nicer art, but at least the shiny isn't a piss yellow abomination
>>59286583boo
>>59286586nah that looks wayyyyy betterthe shiny is so fucking ugly it's unreali hate shiny-1s
What playmat do you guys use? For me it's Alolan Vulpix. I like to blind my opponent into misplays. I'm just that type of twisted sicko.
>>59286638Default mats and sleeves. Coins depending on the deck.
>>59286638i default to goomy unless the deck has its own mat, like sprigatito for my meowscarada deck.
>>59286638Mostly the one I paid for, the one-offs are Manaphy & Piplup, Tyranitar, and Goomyhttps://www.serebii.net/tcgpocket/playmats.shtml
>>59286638Default. Maybe when I lose hope on immersive trading I'll destroy some of my triplicates to get the special mat.
>>59286710Special mat?
>>59286739The black & silver one.
>>59286710i want one of the special playsets and have a huge amount of dupes to mulch for tickets, but i'm holding out for the third set before i make a decision since it's such a huge commitment of resources. the black one is great, but i would fucking love a nice royal purple.
>>59286800I don't think they will ever top black and silver because it's so neutral that it can go with any deck. If I'm spending that much on it, I'm going to want to see it as much as possible. I've already got the sleeves, and I'm satisfied enough with those. Even if I did lose a good 3 or 4 1-stars for it.
>>59286800>royal purpleForgetting about me?
>>59286848i just don't like tox, man. give me the sleek pokeball design.
>promo cards can't have a gold borderWhat's the fucking point of having multiple promo cards then?
>>59286919Trad- oh.
>>59286919the shinedust from dupes. that's literally it.also dena will add gold border promos for the 2nd anniversary promo rerun to jew the everloving FUCK out of people so stock up for that.
>>59284460I might have played the same person lmao
Mega Gardevoir and Crobat sucks. they need to buff psychic and dark types
>>59287224Dark types are totally fine. Just play hydregion or Zoroark.

>>59287358Why do you only have 2 energies on the board?
Haha, thanks game.
>>59287436I've got 3 Gallade and 0 Treecko.
>>59287404The third one is still there in the energy zone
>>59287481Oh.I didn't realize you went through your entire deck by turn 3. That's fucked.
and that's why you should run leaf cape

The M-Heracross expert deck's more obnoxious to deal with compared to the usual event since it one shots most stuff
>>59288441The idea with Serperior is neat, it's just that I'm already tired of Rare Candy decks.
>>59288466The idea with Serperior is neat, it's just that if you ever ran it yourself you'll never get the complete combo nearly as fast as the AI does cause it's a cheating piece of shit.
>>59288471Even with the field that's basically a pokeball for grass types shit's still way to inconsistent.
