new packhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgZy2-XUmXM
>>59388681Looks like they're expanding on the attack Lillipup got recently
>Normal Type Themed packboring. Explains why they revealed the Mega Rayquaza pack early, but why not just do a Groudon/Kyogre pack to build up to it? They could even be the Primal versions to show just how ridiculous Mega Rayquaza is in power.
easy skip
>"good fuck megas" was a comment in last threadoh no no no no no HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
Mega Gard with Mega Diance will be a threat.
Entering the Puppy Pile meta
>>59388681Wow this fucking sucks ass Jesus nothing is viable
>>59388683too cool for pogaymon
well we knew it was going to be a random bullshit themed pack but i wasnt expecting the theme to LITERALLY be "random bullshit"
This seems decent enoughMost Dragons we've gotten come with some stupid drawback in addition to the retarded energy costs
>>59388681>>59388677Thanks for posting. Just uninstalled the game.
>>59388678>All that cutesy shit just to pull Hisuian ZoroarkH. Goodra is welcome too, I hope for a fine FA at least.
>>59388681Mega Diancie in a Mega Garde deck sounds cute, not good, but cute.
Hisuian Zoroark could have been interesting if it wasn't 3 energy attack. You have paired it with Gourgeist to boost its power. Or maybe even the Glimmora that has a chance to not give points when KO'd.
>>59388699more pedo garbage the state of this franchise
>>59388699God I wanna puppy pile into her pussy
>picnic setting in trailer>smartphones everywherethe sad state of society
>>59388707I remember HZoro being a animated corpse.
hourglass-saving pack
>>59388699EASY wins with PEDOPHILE DECK?!
kek they announced rayquaza early because this flop pack
>>59388704give me your rare cards first
>>59388699I know what group of subhumans immediately claimed this card as theirs.
>>59388703>Coinflip slopOh boy, can't wait to match up against this piece of shit and have it heal to full with Lucky Ice Pop the turn prior only to flip a fucking tails when I attack
>still nothing to curb on sleepspam
>>59388699You just fucking know she's getting the FA this time around. You just know.
>DedenneEXSeems like Chocolate's back on the menu
I guess someone realized they killed Guzma, so they made an entire pack where the gimmick is "please put a billion fucking tools into your deck despite the fact that every deck now needs 2x copycat, 2x oak, 2x pokeball, 1x Sabrina/Cyrus at a minimum, pls pls pls have space for more so Guz has use over blower."
>>59388730While the potential to do 160 for 2 is there I dunno how consistently you're gonna be able to pull it off.
>>59388733Trying to put Mars back on the menu with Puppy Pile too.
>>59388699What's the point of creating such pointless OCs when there are so many actual game NPCs still waiting for their card feature?
>>59388743So they don't run out of actual NPCs.
I don't think you guys realize what this pack means.ANOTHER FUCKING EEVEE
>>59388751It's the franchise's secondary mascot so I get that, but still. Doesn't help no Eevee they make can compete with the immediate evo one.
>>59388699>puppyYOU
>>59388756What about an Eevee that gives the option to evolve into a random Eeveelution from your deck once you place an energy on it, like that Porygon 2 card?(the "drawback" will be it has an attack with 0 damage that only has the effect of shuffling a card from your hand back into your deck and drawing a new one)
>>59388699MINE
Lame ass pack, this game is dead
>>59388728Name a 2 diamond trainer card without a 2 star FA. I'll wait
>>59388703>if any damageThis blocks pings as well, it still sucks but I know I'm going to rage as my opponent keeps flipping heads on sleep damage
>>59388831Nvm I'm an idiot
Snorlax killing Stadiums is neat, I guess.Shame it dies to Mega Lucario
>>59388681it's shit and it seems they've lost the sauce
>>59388681Holonfags get BTFO’d every day by this game
>>59388866the sauce has been gone for some time thats why im confused
>>59388863the card itself is awful
>>59388888Just draw Barry.
>>59388866>sleep has pushed the game to the brink of collapse>without bans or erratas the only way to combat it is to print exclusively counter cards or power creep the game even farther. But>power creep potentially buffs sleep decks>specific counters result in lopsided rng match up based gameplay or nothing burgers as they sit on the bottom of your deck never being drawn
>>59387238>>59387699:)
>>59388681So this is a cute and wholesome deck (except for the random hisuan zoroark) and it even has a OG loli, neat.
Is this new? I can't remember ever seen a 100% chansey pick before.
>>59388896what's sad is that they almost had the perfect formula with series A.
Mega Gardevoir stock go up!
>>59388736Just doing 80 on average is already good enough for Magnezone/Manectric bullshit decks
>>59388699SEXO
>>59388924"Yes"Now Chansey Picks can only be 4/5 and 5/5.It started in the previous one.
>>59388720kek
>>59388896sleep is unfortunately too perfect a distillation of the game at a fundamental - a game where whoever can flip a coin better winseven with sleep dominating the ladder PCL is the only "status counter" worth running and most decks still struggle to find a slot for itthe only real solution is a colorless ogerpon ex which they probably wont ever print because it would permanently invalidate status conditions as a game concept
>>59388929>retards still think you use M.gard as an energy generatorMega diancie is paired with non-ex gard if you want ramp, or just as a finisher in a basic psychic deck
>>59388965They can print soft sleep counters, like an ability that stops all non combat damage. Mega clefable could have magic guard for all.Realistically if they moved the damage from darkrai to after the sleep flip, the game wouldn't feel like such hot garbage. That or just changing how sleep works in general to only be a one turn affect like paralysis, but instead of just being a paralysis clone you could still retreat, just at an additional cost.
>>59388979RNG effects are fine.Sleep is lame, but fine.The issue is that uncompetitive mechanics and strategies should not be competitively viable.>Realistically if they moved the damage from darkrai to after the sleep flip, the game wouldn't feel like such hot garbage.That's a nerf, but it adds even more variance.Why do that instead of just bringing the damage down to 10?Doesn't matter anyway, because there are no nerfs and no bans, so sleep slop is here to stay until it gets powercrept by turn 0 wins.
>>59388699YJK
>>59388699Xitter seething at the moment over a cute card lol
>>59388730*blocks your path*
GOOD pack. FUCK cats.
My dog died this morning.
>>59389031RIP Fluffy
>>59389031That's +20 attack for H-Zoroark ex
is it me or does h-zoroark suck mega ballslike it's just houndstone but +30 damage in exchange for 3 energy cost and not being psychic dependent which seems very not worth it considering gourgeist is THE card for discard decks of any kind so you're 100% playing it with psychic slop anyway3 energy is just terrible, if you ramp it with a baby and lose a point you're already 40 damage down compared to attacking with gourgeist once and discarding so it's now doing less than houndstone
>>59389152oh yeah and it can't be fetched by meloetta either lmao what the fuck were they even thinking
>>59389031Sorry to hear that bro.
Would anyone trade their Lisia FA for my rainbow Miraidon? I don't need it but I know it's super meta so it's the rarest relevant card I have to offer.
>>59389019It's a wasted of support slot, use the air bloomer instead.
>>59389177pokemon cards will never be more valuable than trainer cards because mons get powercreeped with each new set. Lisia will always work in any set that uses babies but Miraidon will be forgotten in a few weeks when they release a better meta card
>>59389282>mons get powercreeped with each new setis that why the meta still revolves around altaria, blaziken, hydreigon, suicune, and magneton?
>>59389282That's so contrived a notion, a card like Suicune is always going to be better than many of the Trainer cards in existence, and even lower rarity cards like Chingling dunk on them hard too. Sada is a new Trainer card and she's not on the same level as Turo (who's good in the first place because of Miraidon) or certain new Pokemon cards.
>>59389152This game hates normal types
>>59389152Here's my cope:2 Cursola -> into 160 attack H Zoroark 2 Glimmora -> 160 attack H Zoroark -> cope cope cope -> 180 Kingambit
So Dedenne is just a power crept Pachirisu then?
>>59389333I kind of understand it, because they can be slotted into any other deck.
>>59389367dedenne is ass dudeis it better than a literally unplayable piece of shit? probably, but it's still not going to be worth using>le what if you hit for 160 turn 4???okay but that's an eight card combo bromega lopunny can hit for 180+ turn 4 and will do so more consistently since it's a two card combo with coinflips instead of needing EIGHT FUCKING CARDS
>>59389006With no nerfs or bans I think one thing they should've done since the beginning is not allow turn 1 player to attack. A turn 1 lucky Misty into Articuno for 80 was ridiculous Not allowing the Igglybuff to do 50 before the other player gets to make a play would make it slightly more bareable. They don't allow the turn 1 player to attach an energy so be extention they shouldn't be allowed to attack either.
>>59389396>okay but that's an eight card combo broI will manage
>>59389379They can easily work around that, and it's not like they don't already print pokémon that attack with just colorless energy on purpose anyway
>>59389401You can attach energy turn 1 but not attack in the paper game, that's how it should have always been. They should disallow supporters turn 1, too.
>>59389412>the turn 1 player should get evolution advantage AND energy advantagelol?
>>59389426Player 2 gets damage and draws.
>>59389435damage only helps if your attacker survives the next turn, which it won't if cards like altaria can swing turn 3.
>>59388681>57k viewsMega flop pack.
>>59387449Finally, one...
>>59389490Crazy how the trailers of new packs used to get millions of views a year ago
>>59389540There was optimism a year ago. It's the same shit every month, except the game itself is 10x worse. No QOL, no features, just open packs and miss WPs.
>>59389540jesus fucking christ the eevee grove trailer had 12m viewswhat in the fuck
>>59389401I guarantee whoever designed Darkrai at Dena completely forgot about Igglybuff.Turn 1 attacks have zero issues for anyone that isn't sleepshit. turn 1 energy gen baby is basically saying you're giving up a point to be ahead on energy and evolution and hopefully outrun your opponent that way. turn 1 chingling is less annoying but it stops pokeballs at least, chingling really only cares about stopping rare candies so it wants to attack turn 2 or 3. None of the other babies even matter and are largely just free points for your opponent. Saying no turn 1 attacks is just needlessly punishing Mantyke/Pichu/Magby and those are barely any good anyways. Any other possible turn 1 attack should be rewarded as well since it's all coinflip RNG anyways.
>Forced loss Simulator>Keeps FRing right afterActually kill yourselves
>>59389675what?
>Master ball rank up match is against Sleep spam>Gets to go first and T1 kill Igglybuff with Iron CrownGod that felt cathartic
>>59388678>no return to Holon setsIm reminded every day why i stopped giving a shit after the platinum sets.
>missed every single 24hr wonderpick this month>hit sableye every single time in the bonus picksstupid fucking game
>>5938981424hr wonderpick is a scam
>dedenne ex>another Pikachu cardFuck sake give us another riachu ex already
what the hell is a Holon set, initially I thought we were being really black and saying " hol' on " just for any sets worth spending hourglasses on.
The Holon Region. Back when the TCG loosely attempted to draw inspiration from MTG, and the first few Pokemon TCG sets were actually printed by wizards of the coast originally.
>>59389814>>59389825I think I only hit 1-2 out of the entire set's worth so far, I'm so tilted I missed on Juliana 3 times and Turo as well. Stops feeling like a reward for completing the set fast. At least we get like 1-2 more days of 24 hour WPs thanks to the pack delay but not holding my breath those will deliver.
>>59389907I have both Turo and Juliana. Do you have Sada?
>chat is dead when pokemon streams TCG gameplay
now im just confusedi assumed holon was just some bastardized term for hoennthis thread is the first time ive heard of holon but apparently "holonfags" are a thing
>>59389930Holon was an entire new area made for the TCG.https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/HolonIt is commonly mistaken as being in or a part of Hoenn since it came out during the RSE era, and since ORAS also used the word Delta for the post game arc.But overall, there is no evidence of it being close to Hoenn geographically.
Ive been able to climb every season but wow this is the first one where im stumped. Im just perma stuck at 1k points and kinda lost my chance at top 10k for the first time. Nothing feels good to play, i blame that piece of shit miraidon for making electric so weird to play against now. I just have to guess when my opponenet can turbo charge and play a gay lizard for free, then also just call it back to their own hand whenever.
>>59389908I do not unfortunately, haven't even seen her at all to be able to miss on her.
>>59390018I missed her twice in a row, and she's the only reason I've been opening this set still.
>>59388678was the mega rayquaza thing just a fucking jebait? wtf is this shit
>>59390042Next month
>expect rayquaza and hoenn reveal>get puppy play instead
>>59390050>expect rayquaza when they explicitly said rayquaza was the end of july sethow's life in the retard lane?
>>59390056I don't really care that much about this game, I read July and next month is July. How's playing against sleep scam?
>>59390061>i don't care much about this game>that's why i'm making a seethepost on 4chan about iti believe you :)
>>59390066>make a joke>redditor gets mad about it calm down buddy it's not tournament play
>2 mini sets in a rowso the next one will be one of those fat fucking singles with 150+ like parade?or chance of a triple pack set rayq/kyogre/groudon?
>>59390068>i was just... le joking! merely pretending to be a retarded faggot who can't read!lol?
>>59390061jeez dude, fragile ego much?
>samefagging on a dead containment board
>>59390070how fucking stupid are youthey LITERALLY already showed the next set. what part of "ruler of the skies" makes you think it could possibly be a triple pack
>>59390005Imagine getting filtered by a mid tier deck
>>59390070It's always been 2 mini sets in a row except for the first set of a series and at the end of A.
>>59390097Miraidon is definitely not mid
>>59390083because they can't do rayquaza without groudon and kyogre
>>59390070They don't even make double packs anymore.
>>59390147except they did. we also just got a zygarde game without xerneas and yveltal.
Green needs her trainer cards added to tcg pocket.
>>59390107>muh patterns
Shiny mega Gardevoir soon.
>>59390182This game is nothing but patterns, because Dena are lazy cunts. The only substantial change made in the past 6 months has been condensing what were previously double packs into a single one to fuck pull rates even harder.
New set has some cool looking stuff like Zoroark and M.DiancieBut will it have anything to purge this sleep meta hell from the game?
>>59390199No, it'll add a new Jigglypuff card that acts as a fucking colorless Espeon but with 130 HP at the expense of not being able to evolve instantly. It'll also put you to sleep on fucking contact. A new stadium "Lullaby Dome" will be added - sleep status requires 2 coin flips (both heads) to escape.
>>59390224Don't forget the new tool - Puppy Pillow! Gives Wigglytuff's ability to any Pokemon you'd like :)
>two paldeaslop sets without the only good thing from paldea (carmine)>now instead of mega rayquaza we get a month of YJK>it doesn't even have the postergirl soniafor fucks sake
What do you think of this puppy pile attack?Obviously we don't know all the cards but I think it's interesting even if it seems that you need 2 energy to do anything or if it is only for basics
>>59390244Just waiting for porn of the girl
>>59390244bounded field will legitimately be great in puppy pile decks since you get so much type coveragestill can't oneshot altaria unless there's a "steel puppy" im not thinking of they can print
>>59390244The name implies it's only for basics, so it's going to be really mediocre. All the cards shown have really low HP, and all require 2 energy. It's too slow when everything will just get picked off as you try and set it up.
>>59389599Turn 1 attacks shouldn't be a thing in general and its something most card games don't let you do. Ending a game from a Tyrogue free attack (refered to as donks in the physical pokemom tcg) before even getting a turn is something you want to avoid. It's like letting someone going first in Yugioh attack directly while the other guy hasn't even done anything.
>>59390244Same as Sweets RallyFun on paper but probably won't be meta
>>59390244Remember Sweets Rally? It'll be about as good.
Im confused, miraidon seems like a retarded broken deck, can someone explain how its not broken? I secured top 10k so i think im done with ranked but my win rate against that dogshit was horrible. Like they just recall miraidon, build infinite energy with magneton, play it, and can do it over and over. You can one shot it but it’s difficult unless you have Lucario. This faggot dragon should have had only 130hp what the fuck is this shit
Actually hit a 24 hour wp. Needed a 2nd copy even tho it's not a great card.
>>59390520I dunno, I just always bait it with something upfront that's a bully non-EX and then oneshot it with my EX when it comes out. Only ever have issues with it if they get godhand and turn 3 pop at you with 4 energies before you can set up.
>>59390520It's good, but if Miraidon fails to oneshot you after they dump energy on it and you're able to revenge kill it, they're fucked. 140 without a cape is low enough that Meowscarad with Giovanni, Mega Sceptile, Mega Blaziken, Mega Altaria with the stadium, or Iron Boulder with the tool can oneshot it.
>>59389014You got any examples, or is this another 'i made it the fuck up'
>>59390224>stadium>sleep status requires 2 coin flips (both heads) to escape.
>>59390526>>59390536I mean i guess but the issue is i have to guess if they have it or not. Thats what i dislike, the deck is also randomly full of high hp basics. What i hate is they evolve magneton early and are able to hit you with 100-80 so early on and steal a point. Sometimes you didnt even have enough energy ready to actually ohko it. It feels bad because at that point it feels like ggs, you lost a point early and damaging the miraidon early means they’ll just turo it back. I hate when actions in a card game feel pointless
>>59390615The fact that this actually fucking exists is blowing my mind.
>>59390621Yea I just always assume they have it lol. Like with Cyrus or Sabrina. Just always assume it's in their fucking hand cause you know it'll come out when they need it. Even if it's not currently in their hand, they draw it next turn.
>>59390655The zera pushes it over the edge, its a high hp basic and is randomly tanky. Most pokemon cant one shot it early on so it just sits there and buys time for the magnezone to build up energy. The icing on the cake is the back up magnezone that rapes your asshole
Is M Charizard Y/Entei actually a good deck or am I getting trolled?
>>59390685One always sneaks its way into high placements. Its playable but not really meta, suicune is a permanent staple and it doesnt match well into it
>>59390707shit man, I'm just trying to get outta GB
What's a fun deck for ranked?
>>59388699
>>59390750The uninstall wizard
>>59390750sleep scam or lucario igglybuff
>>59390750Nothing, this is the most volatile meta it feels we’ve ever had. It feels like you can lose to anything now, back then you had match ups that felt like lock ins.
>>59390484If anything it'll be worse because at least the ice cream can hit for 120 for 2 on its own.
>>59388681Puppy pile more like dogshit pile
>>59390244Any decent deck can one shot low hp basics starting from turn 6 at worst, even if you kill something you're going to be killed in return, and there won't be time to put another two energies on another monAlso the deck sounds like a brickfest, imagine starting with 5 basics in hand
>>59390949My problem is you need 7 goddamn dogs just to hit for 140.
>>59388725Plus goomy being annoying!
>>59390520How many points to top?
>>59390955As someone said I think you're meant to use the stadium to hit for SE, but good luck getting the right dog
>>59390232God I am mad I didn't get the jiggly promo
I've never got so many likes before, a binder devoid of supports no less. This new cover really makes the difference, I'm glad there's still something left for the poor once in a while.
>>59390750Altaria Gourgeist is alright, there's some decisions you get to make, but it feels kinda cope when you get to lead with a basic that does nothing for you and you have to waste a turn to retreat
>>59390244I think it will be a repeat of paradox drive. 2-5 good cards you will see used and become integral to the meta everything else garbage
>>59390994That seems an overstatement to me. It looks more like a FA fest.
>>593909945 cards is really generous for a mini set.
I'm that anon from some weeks ago that pulled four iron bundles and couldn't manage to trade any for dex completion. Just wanting to share a little more of my sadness. I pulled the rainbow art of this cursed unlovable bastard from a pack as well.
>>59391137Haha, look its Bundle Boy! Point at him and laugh!I'm so sorry anon
>get a 24h WP in consequtive days for some reason>Both the same card for some reason (rainbow Miraidon)>Both were in the same spot for some reason>Fail both timesT-thanks
>>59391137How do I get WPs like these? Do I just need more frens?
>>59391374no, just luck
>>59391380I wait until all five bars are full and I still never get a 4* more than once a month. I only have like ten friends
>>59391381I have like 80 friends and I also only get that amount besides the 24h wp
>>59391405what exactly is a 24hr wonder pick? do I need to be waiting 24 hrs to do one? sry for the retarded questions
>>59391409If you collect all the cards up to 1-star rarity in the pack, you will start getting a 2-star rarity wp that lasts 24h every 48/72 hs. That's why everyone tries to get all the cards fast when a new pack releases
>>59391420I forgot to add that this only works with the current pack. If you collect all the cards from a previous pack you won't get this
>>59388720He's got cock sucking eyes
