Early Spook Edition>I want to learn the game, where do I begin?Download PTCGL at https://tcg.pokemon.com/en-us/tcglThe 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/guideThere's also the old /tcg/ guide at https://imgur.com/a/W4NkOu6After that, look up meta decks and try to reverse engineer them to see how things work.>Where to find meta decks?For big irl events, go to https://limitlesstcg.com/decksFor online events, go to https://play.limitlesstcg.com/decks?game=PTCGFor japanese events, go to https://pokecabook.com/archives/1417Previous thread: >>59517226Old /tcg/ pastebin: https://pastebin.com/Ge95YuMA
Go Alakazam!
Diego is married, has kids, and has won worlds. I have none of those
zam is literally a tranny babby deck
>>59543591>DiegoBack across the border you go
I am so unimaginably fucking sick of watching my opponent play out every card in their hand just to Lillie's back to 8. Fucking kill yourself.
WAIT TORD GOT ELIMINATED?
>>59543774Play a different game. The same thing has happened ever since Professor Oak was playable.
>>59543807basedslow player out
>>59543869There's an actual risk to playing Research because you have to discard.
>>59543891He choked after starting 5/0/0
>>59543774I don't know how exactly to put it but its such a lame card. I like playing with hand disruption to try and give my shitter decks some potential breathing room but everyone just runs 4 lillies anyway, feels like every deck just plays itself with ithonestly i probably wouldn't even hate it that much if it was literally any other character with that effect. Have it be like, fuckin i dunno. Tierno's Shuffle or whatever that'd be funny
I'm rooting for Henry Chao :)
>>59543895You don't. You can still play Oak/Research even if it's the last card in your hand.
>>59544007And if it's NOT the last card in your hand, you lose those other cards, which you don't if you play Lillie
>>59543946>Scrimblofag hates cute girls in meta cardsMemes write themselves, huh
>>59544038Good cards shou'd be cards I like and bad cards should be ones you like whats not to understand
>>59544043>Good cards shou'd be cards I like and bad cards should be ones you likeThat exactly how it is from my POV
I hope something besides Dragapult wins this weekend. My local meta is dominated by Excadrill and Slowking, so pretty much everyone has had to switch off of it for other decks. I want to see what's the best of everything else.
>Mega-Lucario vs. Sneak>Sneak opponent draws SO BADLY that he never gets more than 2 Sneakmons in the Discard the entire game>literally never even attacked
>>59544270The deck is working as intended. Hopefully they give it some support in a future set like they did with N's and team rocket to make it more competitive because it did have a decent run at a japanese tournament amd the card will be legal for about 3 years
>>59544270What the fuck are those avatars?Holy shit geg
Do we know what decks made day 2?
codes?
>>59544129I want to believe in Alakazam
>>59544370Secret information. Wait until the whole tournament is over.
Is Cali a biological female?
>troon battleugh...
>>59545416>the state of card games
>Was only available for people who watched 30 minutes of a single 1 hour segmentThat sucks. At least 6 packs and a token is nothing with current ptcgl's generous currency.
>>59545416All card games are a troon battle, just sometimes even the competitors don't know it yet
Get fucked jacktake a shower stinky
You'd think people would be smart enough to not play Dragapult since everyone is hard teching for it
Wtf is this clownfest lol
>>59545563They don't have a prize view for the side stream
Please, somebody, beat the shit out of chao...
HOW DID HE TOPDECK BOSS?
this fucker is fake as fuck and a cheater...
WTF is this bronzong deck? Please let it show off
HE'S PLAYING THE MEME!!!GO JAPAN GO!!!
>>59546132GO JAPAN FUCK DRAGAPULT
>1 turn from wining>dragapult wins anyway
ahemFUCK CHAOFUCK HEDRICKFUCK PULT
>>59546214a day late, a dollar short
That Bronzong deck sucked
>crustle 9-2must have played nothing but slop>zamwhy show this match
I feel like the zam player didn't play it optimally
>Tongue outDQ THIS FUCKING CLOWN!#JUSTICEFORROBB
I take it Alakazam players no longer use Enhanced Hammer
>>59546394No one plays Mist Energy or Rocky Fighting Energy anymore, so no one bothers to respect them by playing Hammers. That's part of the cycle.
>>59546401yeah crustle was the play for this tournament
lmao wtf...zam replacing hammers with noir is fucking retarded
>>59546416It's better into literally everything that can't prevent Zam's damage, bro
>first topcut is worlds ABSOLUTE CHAD
Why did they place a game in which neither player can advance to top cut on the side stream?
I can't believe Cerys won
>>59546486More air time for the troon
Natalie was eliminated
hiwould any of the japan defenders in this general like to say a few words?
>>59546673That Bronzong deck sucked
>chao vs hedrick finals possibledear god please no...
https://www.pokedata.ovh/standings/0000212/masters/
>nothing but Pult and Zam, the only single prize deck that doesn't autoloss to pultIncredible format
>>59546737>crustle >lily's clefairy
>>59546757Lillie's is not a single prizer just because you can run Pearl
Haven't been following worlds. Did Dragapult win or are we summoning Sissypult copypasta again? Any M-Exa?
>>59546848There are a couple in top cut but its not that dominant
Please Zam, please
Let's go Alakazam
4 Pults (3 hammers, 1 noir)
let's go henry!!!
...said no one ever
>>59546956I like him
this is so cringe
That Pole just fucked up
Anyone know what decks made topcut?
>>59547054Nothing but Pult and Zam
>>59546981I played him at a regional and he was very nice
>>59547060A crustle and a lily's clefairy
sudden death
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN RECORDED HISTORY ALAKAZAM DOES NOTI REPEAT DOES NOT HAVE CANDY ALAKAZAM TURN 2
COME THE FUCK ON ZAM!!!
LET'S GO ALAKAZAM
zam is a shitty scrimblo deck that takes 20 mins per turnliterally unfun to watch boring shit
WOW, LUCKIEST PLAYER GETS BAILED OUT YET AGAIN!!!
small brained: omg he topdecked lillies so luckybig brained: his opening hand being dead was unlucky, he was due a supporter
>>59547136>/vp/ learns IRL TCG players all cheat
Luck, no skill
Congrats to Henry!
fake ass cunt
Wow Red Card for win, again. Really glad they printed this card.
Thank God Crustle lost
LET'S GO HENRYLET'S GO DRAGAPULT!!!
>>59547228alakazam would go unpunished if it wasn't for that, hold that shit shitty deck
Pult still got it
>It really is going to be chao vs hedrick finals
2 dragapults in the finales?
>>59547287I pray not but the Alakazam decks haven't been impressive
Chao, Hedrick, and Tonisson are all on pultRune might be as well but I can't recall. Might be an all Pult top 4.
Worst worlds ever
>>59547339Rune is Crustle and Diego is Alakazam so a non-dragapult is guaranteed at least one top 4
>aussie on aussie murder
>only hope for no quad Pult is for a slop box to wingrim
>>59547387I'm rooting for Diego's Alakazam
>worlds pikachu next year can be crustle battling pikachu would be kinda epic
nvm rune lost>straight pult>pultnoir>alakazam>straight pult or slop
>>59547450LET'S GO PULT
>>59547450What a boring metagame
>>59547436what pikachu
>5 prize turn
>generic pult>generic pult>generic pultnoir>generic zamAmazing game
>>59547556weak, should've been 6
Dragapult vs Dragapult mirror Dragapult vs Alakazam I guess Dragapult is actually good
>>59547561people who don't play card games always think they're smart enough to create decks no one has ever thought of beforethey never are
>>59547561I thought the Alakazam+Dusknoir deck was cool
>>59547576And it lost to Red Card.
>Tards will now blame dragapult for being too strong>and not the fact they didn't print anything to compete vs it until rayquaza
>>59547582Rayquaza loses to it too. Japan's city leagues aren't a real format.
grimmsnarl bros...
>>59547614>Dragapult but worseWow who could have anticipated this wouldn't be played in worlds?
Straight Pult confirmed in the finals no matter what.
>>59547595True but it's at least a hell of a lot better than anything else released the past 2 years
>>59547628M-Ray looks pretty good. 150 damage on turn 1 playing 2nd might just be aggro enough to justify 3 prize.
>>59547645It's hard carried by Talonflame. You save Ray for big KOs, which is why once it hits non-meme formats Pult and other decks will just tech >>59547595 to handle the matchup.
>>59547620it fuels and tutors itself bro... that's enough for me
>Argie>Diego>Playing powerful handDO YOU BELIEVE IN MEME MAGIC?
>>59547695I BELIEVE
HENRY HENRY HENRY
>Eri out red card & night stretcher>Pult just draws night stretcher anyways because all dead cards already discarded with Ultraballs
I'm sick and tired of the dragapult scalping card game.
>>59547771well, yes, that's what you're supposed to do when you want to get rid of as many dead cards as possible to play around hand disruption
feel like this is winnable for Zam. 1x stadium is a big weakness for this pult list.
Just let dragapult play with his whole deck on hand from the start to save time.
COME ON DIEGO
DIEGOOOO
GET ABSOLUTELY FUCKED CHAO!!!ONE EVIL DOWN, ONE MORE TO GO!!!
Zam doesn't care about hammers either. Barring prizing Genesect he has a good shot.
Soon...
pultsisters... this can't be happening...
I don't want alakazam to win because it would be YET ANOTHER psychic deck winning worlds
>have been enjoying Alakazam at locals lately>it's had a big showing at Worlds all weekend>everyone is going to be running anti-Zam tech nownow what am i supposed to play
>>59548048double genesect aparently
God, Amy is so hot.
>>59548048you have a million empty spots in the deck and you draw them literally every game, you can tech for literally any matchupget fucking good
>>59548098spaceyourpostsmore
>>59548106god I willbecause it continues to annoy you for no reason
Fuck me this is so fucking boring
How did they get Kermit on the casting team?
talk shit about pooka again and I'll make you kermit buddy
Piggy is getting porked by Gonzo while he's away.
I hope diego wins tomorrow
They may as well give it to him now. We all know how Dragapult vs Alakazam is going to go.
I'd like Pult to win, it's more emblematic of this era of the game. Alakazam will have it's time in the future.
>>59548211Alakazam will soft-rotate once dundunsparce is gone.
>>59548270nah, the ability is too strong, it'll just find new partners eventually
>>59548270Before today, people would've told you Zam doesn't even exist as a deck without Dudun, yet the only one to put up results did so with Noir. All Zam needs is a good secondary engine to make KOs easier, whether that's through drawing more cards or placing damage counters.
>>59548270I would love a format that doesnt play like YGO. Benchwarmer ability spam is annoying faggot gameplay and not worth playing with. Id rather just get it over with and lose than have them waste both our time doing a 5+ min turn that would end in a OHKO EX attack anyway. Matches rarely go past turn 5 because they run out of time and it gives me a win even in losing matches.Boss’s orders is amazing for free kills and making their bitch asses concede all the way to master rank.
>>59548277Noir is also rotating.
Diego has the momentum going into tomorrow, right? I get the sense that Andrew has less techs prepared for alakazam
>>59548364all you need is to draw good and red card at the right time, save stadiums for when you'll go for kills
>>59548290I wish you could read English so we could communicate properly, but I understand that's asking too much.
>>59548279you have no idea what YGO plays like
What are the implications of my wanting to breed with Cerys and could we make a shiny?
>>59548504I'm 37 btw
>>59548504You'll die delusional and lonely.
>>59548504>coke nails
>>59548384So it'll be all about timing
>4 of the 5 pokemon my opponent first plays down are budew and 3 munkidorii think my opponent might have epstein's island as an unlocked Fly location
>>59548504That is 1000% a dude with long hair
Seniors Division, 3rd Place
>>59550272match-ups
>>59550281goes against 12 other decks and 8 of them are pultgreat meta
>>59543542I really hate how faggy casual is. Im not gonna sit through 20 min of card tricks and dudunsparce, oricorio ex, and other benchwarmers that have no place in a pokemon game but would be right at home in master duel. Play the fucking game or fuck off!
TCG is on now right?
>>59550393No, tap simulator
What bullshit are they going to reveal today? We already know the megas block is lasting another year, they announced the Mega Raichu set already. My bet is they'll follow pocket and bring back dual types for exactly two sets.
>>59550573Most likely just more trainers pokemon. Ace specs are rotating next year so maybe they reintroduce another 1 per deck thing like prisms
>>59550042She LOOKS like a dude with long hair, and thats a plus
>Pokemon go commentors are praising how people aren't playing meta>Meanwhile our dragapult metahaha..
I can't believe people would want to play the best decks available to them at the World Championships. They should play the trash I want them to play instead.
> Friend goes to Japan> Ask him to bring me two card boxes> He tells me they are even out of stock in OsakaIt's over bros. I managed to get one box of Mega Symphonia so ultra meh.
>>59550806>They should play the trash I want them to play instead.Yes
Yeah man, I should play as many pult mirrors as I can and then cut my balls off out of insanity!
They're really trying their best to make dragapult mirrors sound interesting lmao
>inb4 seniors is also pult mirrors
>>59550806i understand that your autism means that you're not fond of change and instead insist on repetition but every fucking game being a pult mirror is not interesting for anyone involved
>>59550873pult mirrors are definitely more interesting than the top deck lillie mirror that the rest of the meta is
>>59550911>NO I will NOT run more draw supporters!You sound like the people who refused to run more search than 4 VIP pass
>>59550911we know this is 4chan but is possible to think that both of these are not good
I feel like the Japanese kid has the deck advantage
>>59550916>run more draw supporterswhat draw supporters? gwynn? the card that requires you to put more junk in your deck?>>59550921yeah I'm not saying that both aren't bad
>kids>pult mirror
>>59550937Iris? Naveen? Lacey? Carmine? Explorer's guideance? Obviously nothing will compete vs lillie, it is probably the strongest draw supporter ever printed. I dunno why you're expecting stuff to compete with that lol
>>59550960those cards suck ass even if lillie wasn't printed. explorers guidance would literally lose you games
Did Yuta concede too early? I would have made Luke play it out
Cool prizes, lmao!
