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.

I think beedrill is meta considering it's good against pult and pult is 50% of the meta right now. its only worrying match ups I can think of is zam. crustle or single prizer decks aren't going to be popular enough to give beedrill trouble. it could be a skill issue but only you can decide that.

I would not take limitless percentages seriously. most people playing in those tournaments are bad. it's like taking city league results seriously. for example, joltik box had a 51% wr against gardevoir on limitless but that never reflected reality. there's probably a good 20% margin of error when it comes to limitless percentages. beedrill is also a new deck and people are trying to figure it out still
>>
>>59341189
Oh, I didn't think about it that way. All the data points we have to go on are wrong and you're right. Beedrill is just too complicated a deck for people to know how to play. Put Tree, get Bee is too much for me.

>>59341192
yeah the data points on limitless also say beedrill is doing about as well as pultnoir is. so you're wrong on both sides lmao

>>59341197
PultNoir is the worst version of the deck. Adding 1 Red Card didn't change that.

Beedrill is a shit deck that 40-60s every version of Dragapult.

You should put Clefairy into the same deck Espeon will be, with other psychics. But for Clefairy to OHKO Lucario, while not -that- hard, it only happens in slop tera decks that run Area Zero.
Clefairy +Espeon will OHKO Dragapult with the same full board as it does to Lucario, even if oppo has nothing in their bench.
And again, it does not die to Pult back unless they have two energized Munkidoris and 60 damage on their side or a Dusknoir.

Exactly. They could make them the SRs if needs be. They're would be way better than the gold energies
I really don't know why they don't make anymore energies like the mon silhouettes/landscapes anymore.

>Dark energy has mega darkrai silhouette for his set

They can tie it into the set every time, even when you get to repeating energy type it can be a different mon this time.

I just want these card sleeves in TCG live how do I get them
>>
>>59342907
If you talk to vendors the conclusion is basically two types of people buy energies.
- People who play the TCG
- Energy collectors.
Because of that there's zero supply and zero demand.
>>
>>59343016
Even pokemon collectors like HGSS ones, because well... they feature pokemon too. It makes no sense why pokemon have never tried making appealing energies like those again.

They finally got over the ugly gold item/tool/stadium card autism and gave proper colored FA's which are much better. It's just energies left for them to get around to fixing
>>
>>59343053
I have zero doubts pokemon themed energies would have some of the lamest pokemon imaginable on them instead of the ones I like, so I'm fine with it as is.
>>
>>59343016
When I was trying to complete my set of SUM Base Energy, I found a shop that had a ton and bought all of them. The guy at the counter said "You mean you actually want these?"
>>
>>59343055
Like I mentioned before if it became a thing they printed then more mons would get them over time, rather than a 1 and done thing like hgss. Probably set dependant like the darkrai/greninja to match the spotlight mon of the set if they're treated as SRs

The fact they're not even trying it is just depressing though. They have gotta see how much the hgss are talked about and even their prices absolutely btfoing all golden energies. There's definitely a demand for energies having pokemon on them like this
>>
>>59343053
These would still be legal to use right?
>>
>>59343090

no...
>>
>>59343090
No. If they're printed, it would probably fall under the same rules as signatures on cards, and if they're stickers, they're marked and weighted.
>>
>>59342993
You could trade them with other people on the old client. Your only hope now is to find someone selling a code for them still. Which is pretty much impossible now..

They look bad for many reasons, at least from what was shown. There doesnt seem to have any pattern in the background, they look similar to the MEG foils which are the worst so far.
And they have the annyversay stamp... in the terrible colors of the new rarity. They asked Gmini to "use all colors" it seems, its so damn bad.
Meanwhile, Crown Zenith had awesome patterned background. I also like Shrouded Fable foils for this reason.

No idea how Dragapult loses to this, you can just ignore stuff hit for 70 if you have to slowly build up damage, use hammers or use other attackers

>hit for 70
If you are implying attacking with drakloak then you are retarded as trevenant one hits it with just 2 buffs for one energy.

>>
>>59345239
That's even worse lol
You are trading 2 prizes for 1 as it is not even that hard to reach 160 as trevenant using corner or outright twoshooting it with a backup 'nant.
>>
>>59345259
pult can respond with 3 prize ko on with boss and munkidori after the 70 hit if they try to go corner and ko
>>
>>59345266
Exactly
>>59345259
What you don't get and probably what I don't get is that unless you're consistently killing Hop's Pokemons then you're not getting hit by a lot, you can play a slow game where you set up your Munkidoris you build damage around and then go for multi-prize turns without risking losing Dragapult as you build the damage, sure it can die after that but it's a 3 prize turn minimum for a 2 prize attacker if you even have all the pieces to knock it out, not to mention it only works with Hop's Pokemons so if you aim for a Clefairy or Shaymin (but they won't bench it) then their attacks don't count
I just don't see Dragapult losing this on paper
>>
>>59345266
And then get oneshot immediately after by another trevenant. That's 4 prizes, two stage 2's and 4 energy down the drain.
>>
>>59345276
>I just don't see Dragapult losing this on paper
Dragapult doesn't attack for free. Trevenant does. That's about it. Also Phantup can start taking prizes from the start of the game, giving you a prize headstart.
>>
>>59345277
>And then get oneshot immediately after by another trevenant
pult kos with an effect of an attack not damage so it can't revenge kill and you can't bench clefairy again that turn. you would need a different attacker to keep up in the prize race.
>>
>>59345292
Just attach an extra energy and hit with corner. The deck runs 3 night stretcher, a secret box and 4 petrel so getting clefairy back shouldn't be too hard.

He went up against 6 pults which is on par with its ~30% play rate and btfo'd most of them, literally only lost to one. Having a 80% winrate seems pretty clear, no?

How do I win more games? The highest I've ever managed to get in Arceus is 1600. I don't even feel like I'm playing poorly when I lose, I just get screwed by prizing.

>>59345376
What deck?
>>
>>59345377
Beedrill Ex with Arboliva and Dudunsparce is what I'm playing right now. Prior to this set I was playing Chandelure with Mega Frosslass, similar results.
>>
>>59345404
I'm on the same boat as you, prizing hasn't screwed me over but bad hands have, I switched to Beedrill without Arboliva and it's a bit more consistent, I reached 1800 with Dragapult and I'm current 1500 with Beedrill, it's still more fun to play it but you depend on what you draw
>>
>>59345302
pult would have to be really unlucky with their hammers for you to have enough energy to corner and clefairy ko twice. I could be wrong since I haven't put a lot of games into it but after a handful of them I can't see it being incredibly favored into pult. I'll have to see how it does this weekend at NAIC since NA is typically pult heavy I think.
>>
>>59345413
Like I just lost a game to Wellspring Ogerpon of all things. 3 of my 4 trees were prized and I just couldn't draw anything that could get me to a board state where I could actually play the game

You mean 4 bees right? And yeah that's what I mean, we rely on what we draw, no Arboliva makes that a bit more consistent but still shit

>>59345433
>Could throw in Dudunsparce ex just to be able to attack with something
throw in fan rotom for an attacker and dunsparce searcher
>>
>>59345451
Dragapult and every pre-rotation S tier deck did well only because of how consistent they are
All grass decks as far as I have tested rely only on what you draw, my most consistent one was Arboliva Meganium with the 1-1 Noctowl but now everyone runs Shaymin, Hydrapple and the rest rely on bug catching and good hands so you usually play as you go, Beedrill has the biggest issue with this because now you need at least 3 Stage 2s to hit proper numbers
>>59345456
That's what I have, I'm running 4-3 Dudunsparce, 1 Fan Rotom, 4-4-4 Beedrill
>>
>>59345454
That's the problem. I never got the one forest I did have so I couldn't build anything up without getting sniped by Wellspring. My opponent seemed to always have whatever they needed in hand to accelerate energy onto Wellspring.

crustlefags when they realise they can't just automatically win games with their deck-in-a-can matchup fish list and have to actually play the game above the level of a trained rat
>>
Ok fuck it I'm giving up on playing Crustle. Third game I get matched with Ethan's Typhlosion. This deck is dogshit. No idea how it took 2nd in Indiana.
>>
>>59344939
Pre-release is going to make my want to kill myself.
Like this is the first time I'm happy that I don't have to play more than 3 rounds of a pre-release event to get my packs and fuck off.
>>
>>59345619
Try hards are going to tourneys.
Causals who have nothing to lose are playing mid decks on TCG live.
You have better odds of running into pure EX decks and preforming with crustle at large money tournaments than you do on TCGL.
>>
I hate this fucking game. I just want to play fun decks. Why am I required to play Dragapult or Hop?
>>
>>59345697
Play slopbox
>>
>>59345697
If you're the Crustle fag, how the fuck do you find Crustle fun?
>>
>>59345697
Because fuck you, that's why.
>>
>>59345709
Nta but crustle is fun as fuck to play irl specially if your opponent is the loud kind.
>>
>>59345735
99.99% of pokemon players are not going to instantly crash out from across the table just because you're playing their counterdeck
you've been watching too many staged tiktoks
>>
>>59345619
anon, crustle is a wall deck. just like slowking, it does well depending on how many decks are teching for it. it just won LA so now decks are teching for it. if both trevenant and slowking didn't do well at recently it probably would have been okay to play. I also don't know what limitless results you're looking at but it barely won half of it's games at turin
>>
>>59345765
>just won LA
my mistake, it got 2nd
>>
>>59345769
It got 2nd without the pilot even know what cards were in his own deck, which kind of goes to show just how little skill requirement the deck takes to play
If you can't manage even that then...
>>
>>59345775
yeah I don't think it takes a lot of skill to play it either, but if you're newer to the game I can see how you would make mistakes or get frustrated with the deck when picking it up. it is just a pile of 60 cards that has some strange game plans. especially with the kangs now

>Get the Serperior deck
>Queue against Barbaracle 5 times
EZ. I pulled a 1-1-1 decidueye ex and judge that I left out of the deck. I also didn't get to use the 1-1 mega starmie that I did put in the deck.

What are the other 2 decks in the perfect order B&B?

>Ghost veil

You thought psychic favortism was over since gardevoir rotated? Ohnonono! It will never end!

>>59346203
Sorry but Hide n' Seek is based and agere pilled.

>>59346213
I will keep deadnaming the mechanic as 'ghost veil'

Hide n sneak
GET IT HAHAH
hide and seek. but sneak. because ghosts LOOOOL

meanwhile bug panic chads will keep their name and get a better archetype next set

Ghost Veil can't be THAT good.

give me one reason why this wouldn't work

i take it mega darkrai ex will shake up the dragapult meta?
>>
>>59347428
It will do absolutely nothing, however Hide n' Sneak rips a gaping hole in dragapult.
>>
>>59346882
I mean it can ohko pult with a lillies clefairy on the bench.
>>
>>59347428
It won't be any good until after rotation when pult is gone
>>
>>59347428
It's a worse Absol and that already fell out of the meta.

New prize packs series finally revealed. No ace specs lol
>>
>>59347643
Which sucks because Absolbox was the most fun I had playing this game since I started in 2024
>>
>>59347646
Ace specs rotate next year is why. There shouldn't be any H reg
>>
>>59347646
It's good because Dragonite and Frosslass are so rare from ASC that these will be cheaper than the ASC versions.

>>59347681

Well fuck me.

The foil pokepads gonna look nice. Hilda and Brave Bangle reprint gonna tone down the prices (they are atrocious around here, if you can even find them).
>>
>>59347714
Is Hilda expensive in your area? That seems weird, considering it's been included in the past couple prerelease sets, it should be a lot more common.
>>
>>59347718
My country doesn't get prerelease stuff

>>59347718
There are a bunch of staples that are very expensive right now. I am surprised they did not reprint JTG Dunsparce.
>>
>>59347714
It's worth noting Bangle will only appear as cosmos holo foil so it will likely not drive prices down.
>>
hide n' sneed
>>
>>59347643
doesnt seem like it when you can instant ko dragapult if you can get a status ailment on it.
>>
>>59347769
Putting 6 counters on pult seems easier considering we have munkidori and toxtricity in the format.
oh and the instakill attack costs only 2 energy, not 3.
>>
>>59347769
darkrai needs tox for energy so you're accumulating damage anyway
absol has by far the better generalist attack too with the discarding if you don't need to ohko.

there's also a lot of mist/fighting energy in format because zam anyway so the ohko's are denied in the first place
>>
>>59347718
Its like 3 bucks and there arent many going around. Same for bangle.
Dunsparce (the 70HP) and slowpoke (psychic) are like 7 bucks each.
>>59347731
Fuck

>>59347872
Out of print card, it was already a bitch to find in bulk bins cause everyone wanted it and scalpers just tossed it away because it wasn't big money chase card.
So now we have a supply shortage for people who play the game.
>>
>>59347898
Journey together's pretty common in tins and other products they aren't as scalped anymore. Weird to see dun being so expensive
Slowpoke I wouldn't worry about as much, there's a 70 hp psychic one in abyss eye which will be the go to one

>Mega lopunny is do not play
Yeah okay.
>>
>>59347935
>Don't play Cincinno
Fuck you Rahul, I do what I want
>>
>>59348273
Lopunny is based. He likes to sandbag good decks.
>>
>>59348273
with slowking getting popular it doesn't look like a good play for any big tournaments.
>>
>>59348344
Hypothetically how do you beat Slowking as Lopunny when they have Annihilape? Once Annihilape hits their hand it's basically game over.
>>
>>59348386
slowking list will probably copy the 2nd place list which didn't run annihilape but it does seem unfavored unless they can fit in shaymin. slowking can just wipe out their entire board with kyurem easily
>>
>>59348403
Fitting Shaymin into Lopunny is trivial if you run the set without Froslass.
>>
>>59348386
Lopussy runs 4 mist energy, the real problem is Slowking using a brave bangle.
>>
>>59348476
I'm a fucking moron. Thank you.
>>
>>59348344
I don't think slowking is gonna become all that popular, it's a meme. 'punny has a good match against pult which is all that matters.
>>
>>59348575

the pult matchups look rough, but it least it has ....uhhhhh.....

crustle?
>>
>>59348596
the numbers were better when it first showed up but I think the pult players have started learning the lines against bunny dundun
>>
>>59346025
what do you mean
it's only a single retreat, single prize basic who only needs a single energy to get free prizes by sitting on the bench
that's easily punishable
>>
munkidori is overpowered but my deck needs it sorry

Wish me luck in new orleans lads :)
>>
may you not get game losses from your opponents calling judges on you the moment they start losing
>>
My deck isn't very good (Azelf/Uxie/Froslass) but I love that my turns always take less than a minute. I just won a game against a Mega Dragalge player and I spent almost all of it just watching browsing eBay for /tcc/ related items while my opponent played solitaire.
>>
I never concede when I'm losing. I instead take the maximum amount of time possible and try to waste as much of my opponent's time as I possibly can. Serves them right for playing meta slop.
>>
Not surprising but Mega Slutbunny plays poorly into every deck in the meta.
>>
>>59349238
I have it afk on a 2nd monitor so it doesn't bother me

>>59349435
Mega Dragalge is just that bad.
>>
>>59349452
That's the joke|
>>
>>59349452
Status effects in this game are really bad.
They need to be reworked so they still effect pokemon on the bench. Retreating for a condition cure makes it worthless, including with so many energies that just simply exist and negate those effects too.
>>
>>59349674
I think TPCi is traumatized from the one time they made them too good and decided to just make them shit forever after that.
>>
>>59349674
>Status effects in this game are really bad.
All of the 'mons in that anon's deck have low enough HP to be one shot by Dragalge's poison
>>
>>59349452
I'm convinced it will be good after rotation

>Retreat into lillie's clefairy
>oneshot for 3 prizes
>>
>>59349699
I mean cool, but if I attach a bubble, mist, rocky fighting.
Now you have a 3 prizer that can't do anything because it's primary attack doesn't do damage either.
>>
>Paralysis and confusion stay the same
>Sleep prevents you attaching energy to them
>Burn reduces the damage by 30
>Poison gains +2 more tokens between turns until the active swaps out or dies
>Add freeze which just prevents you from retreating but you can still attack
>>
>>59351298
Is paralysis even in the game?
>>
>>59351757
Yeah, mega eelektross does it on the second attack as well as some other things.
>>
>>59351757
Paralysis stops the opponents pokemon from retreating, but also stops it from attacking as well.
Eelektross could be pretty good, the problem with it is the stage 2/1 are so fucking easily sniped and you need the stage 2 to generate energies because the paralysis requires you to discard.
>>
>>59351841
Electric in general is just gigascrewed over by fighting. Manectric isn't even bad and they have the 2nd best type special energy now
Mew copying attacks will help but it'll still get farmed by all the fighting

>Eels will rotate before electric becomes relevant again
>Will be even further behind everyone else
