So fucking mad. Opponent won from a fucking glitch. Flygon's passive ping doesn't trigger if your previous Pokemon died with a burn. For whatever reason the burn check just skips the flygon ping? So fucking retarded. Blaziken shouldn't be alive with 10HP, Flygon came out, their turn ended, and the ping just didn't fucking happen. There's no reason the ping shouldn't have initiated. The order of operations in this game is so retarded. I'm guessing the same happens if they die with a sleep check or some shit too, but this is the first it's happened. Flygon is supposed to ping if it's in the ACTIVE SPOT during POKEMON CHECKUP, end of story, read the fucking card. Uninstalling his piece of shit. I'm done.
>>
>>59441332
>glitch
No, the order of calculations is just "end of turn check"->status effects. The end of turn check happened while the previous mon was in active, it died from status, then you chose Flygon. Hence why faggot Darkrai does damage to you before you get the chance to cure sleep, because it triggers at the end of turn check.
>>
>>59441400
And why wouldn't end of turn check include Flygon's ping? It happens if there's no burn. Your previous Pokemon downs, Flygon comes up front, end of turn check triggers. There's no reason why it shouldn't calculate in the Pokemon check, the Pokemon check is still fucking happening. It just skips.
>>
>>59441413
Not to mention the Pokemon fucking died from damage, not even burn, which is just another retarded piece of the order of operations in general. It does funny stuff like enabling Caterpie to revive from the fucking dead when it's 0 HP cause it evolves after the fact, but if they want that to (retardedly) be intentional then so be it. But there's no reason why burn check should just skip Flygon ping. If there is no burn check, Flygon's ping happens. If there is, it doesn't. That's a glitch. Fuck off. DeNA employee, your coding is shit.
>>
>>59441423
My Caterpie never revives. Not when it's killed with damage, nor with abilities.
>>
>>59441423
Caterpie only evolves from dead if it dies to darkrai specifically.

Caterpie evolves before poison or burn do their damage, but after all attack triggers have happened. There is a cleanup step between attacking+triggers and then end of turn stuff, caterpie dies between those two things.
>>
>>59441429
To expound on this
>attack
>any triggers from the attack
>game checks to see if any Pokémon have 0 health and KO's them
>end of turn happens
>triggers
Caterpie evolves here
>poison
>burn
>game checks again for dead pokemon

They should change it so active player abilities go first, that way at the end of the turn you evolve BEFORE darkrai deals damage. As it stands right now, caterpie has a unique interaction with darkrai only, everything else happens like it think it would.
>>
>>59441446
buggy game
>>
>>59441456
Agreed.

Could you imagine if every single step pocket checks for dead pokemon? The game would run like ass.
>>

There's no reason why the game should taunt you with a coin flip interaction to check if your poison/burn/sleep or whatever gets removed if you're at 0HP. That's just retarded. You're 0HP, what does it fucking matter, you're dead.
>>
>>59441472
It doesn't anymore though? I think it used to though, I seem to remember burn being a flip despite your pokemon dead, but nowadays you just die.

Though maybe if the burn damage kills you, you may still have to flip since it might be part of the trigger itself? I haven't really seen burn be the final damage in a while so I can't recall.
>>
>>59441472
To be fair, it does matter in the event of something like Ursaluna, who uniquely needs a coinflip to determine whether or not it endures with 10HP or not. But even in that case it shouldn't actually drop to 0HP should the coin flip heads, so it's still poorly implemented. 0HP should be instant removal from the board.
>>
>>59441482
It seems that doing the flip is baked into the burn damage itself. If you faint just from raw attack damage there's no check, but if it's the burn damage that finishes the job you have to do the coin flip.
>>
>>59441482
It does. The entire reason I spazzed the fuck out here >>59441332 is because on a prior turn I had Vibraba that I sacrificed to do 10 damage to Blaziken in the back. It died to a Castform attack, which knocked it to 0. I was calculating that Vibraba goes down, Flygon comes up, and Blaziken gets 20 damage total that turn. Because that's ALWAYS how Flygon works.

But instead what happened was Vibraba got downed to 0 HP, the game asked to to fucking flip a coin to check if Vibraba is still burned or not despite being fucking DEAD, Flygon came to the active spot and the game was like "okay, Pokemon Checkup is done :)" without triggering Flygon's effect that specifically happens during checkup. The only reason I can imagine that'd happen is because the fucking burn coinflip that shouldn't even happen logically took up whatever slot in the order of operations Flygon's damage should occupy. Because Flygon's damage ALWAYS works when you come up after a KO. The only difference with this interaction compared to every other time Flygon triggers was the burn coinflip. I STILL would have won desu but of course on that turn they copycat into rare candy greninja to put me exactly in KO range. It's just annoying, the game is inconsistent with its "Pokemon Check" phase and there's no real rhyme or reason behind why it does what it does when multiple interactions are supposed to take place during it.
>>
>>59441490
That makes sense then, there's no cleanup step between status checks so there's no way for the game to know you're dead yet.

Imagine being poisoned, burned, and asleep, and the poison KO's, but the game forces you to flip for burn and sleep.

I need salazzle EX that poisons and burns on attack with an item that inflicts sleep on attack for maximum troll.
>>
>>59441497
Flygons trigger works after KO because it's before end of turn triggers.

But since Burn ko'd end of turn triggers already happened and the game doesn't check them again.

This issue would be remedied with an often asked for nerf to darkrai, where sleep is checked first. Locking status affects forward and "end of turn" triggers to the actual end of the fucking turn would help flygon in niche poison/burn situations.
>>
>>59441490
Sleep does the same thing though. If you die while asleep you still coinflip to check if you're still asleep.

This still doesn't make sense. At what point does Flygon go into the active spot then? If it happens during the Pokemon Check, it's still during the Pokemon Check. The card doesn't say the effect triggers at the end of a turn. It specifically says it triggers
>If this card
>is in
>the active spot
>during Pokemon checkup

The only way this makes sense is if burn damage ends checkup and technically Flygon goes into active spot at the START of your turn, which there's no order of operations in which that's a logical outcome.

It should be a very clear checkup. It's literally
>Is Flygon in active?
>Is it Pokemon Checkup?
>If both true, damage.

Why would burn skip checkup? Checkup is the phase BETWEEN turns. There's no slot for Flygon's damage to not trigger unless the game for whatever reason decides Flygon goes into active at the start of my turn, which of course isn't the case since the "START OF TURN" banner didn't come on until after Flygon went active.

I know you're trying to logic how it's not a bug, but it clearly is. There's no slot for Flygon's effect to not trigger. Coin flipping shouldn't fuck up the order of operations in any way. It was NOT my turn when Flygon went to active. It was either DURING the final phase of my opponent's turn or DURING the checkup. In either scenario, the damage should have pinged.

For prosperity's sake, this specifies "end of {player} turn" which is wording that WOULD give wiggle room for Flygon's passive to not trigger.

But if Flygon is in the active zone, it does 10 damage to everything on the opponent's side.

We all know that after flipping a coin for burn, it doesn't then say "YOUR TURN" and THEN ask you to select a Pokemon.

So if a YOUR TURN banner flashes, Flygon is in active before you get to even act, and there isn't 10 damage on your opponent's side, then something was unintentionally skipped. Unless the Pokemon has a damage negating ability/item.
>>
ok smoked weed and don't care anymore.
>>
>>59441598
When the turn ends ALL triggers that could happen go on the stack, darkrai, caterpie, burn, poison, sleep, yadda yadda, and then they're resolved one after another.

Because of this, Flygon isn't in the active pokemon slot yet since your active Pokémon is still alive and not dead yet to burn. When burn KO's your active mon you then get to move flygon into the active spot, but since end of turn triggers were already placed on the stack flygon's doesn't trigger.

It's dumb, I agree with you, but that's just how the game works.

I tried using Carbink or Manaphy, but getting the first turn energy seemed more important. You can use whatever energy you want, because none of it matters. I tried to use Electric Generator too, but it was less than consistent since your only target is Yamper.
>>
>>59442171
Using anything other than fire energy is sub par for puppy decks.

Mana ramp in theory works, but in practicality getting it turn one is extremely unlikely, so you're better off recovering energy with flamepatch and growlithe.
>>
>>59442171
unless you get carbink or manaphy or anything similar on the 1st turn, they are dead weight
can be good for gambling
>>
>>59442134
Shut it pussy
>>
>>59442176
Honestly forgot about Flame Patch, but most of the time I was just fielding Yamper or Rockruff since the CPU deck is weak to both. There's very little space, so if you manage to fall behind on energies at all, you get fucked pretty hard by puppies getting 1-shot.
>>
>>59442187
They're dead weight even if you get them in your starting hand. It's a free point for your opponent in a deck that's already easy as shit to get points off of.

Puppy decks are only a threat competitively when they can one shot megas with bounded field

>>59442171
The idea with electric generator is you want to use it in tandem with flame patch so you have even more chance to set up your ramps and get at least two hits off before you lose two points. It's never been a purely reliable source of ramp on it's own. But that said it's still less valuable than an extra draw card, sabrina or a lucky bounded field super nuke chance.
