how are you doing this pack?
>>59670258getting shit on as usualhow have you matched my lifetime crown pulls in one set
>>59670289>how have you matched my lifetime crown pulls in one setthis set was too "lucky"(who wants this pack's crowns?)
>>59670258anybody want a diancie
>>59670258Got Iris and the 1 Stars. Still need a second copy of Charmeleon, Baxcalibur and Dratini.And really really want an Immersive Charizard. :c
>>59670258Eh.Hoping I can trade for Mega Venusaur eventually because I seriously doubt I'll see it in a pack.
>>59670258Far better than the first Deluxe.
>>59670258I just want a meloetta FA but every time I've gotten a 1 star its the fucking dog
>Slowking deck>Opponent has 2xM-Voir and a M-Diancie on bench>Turns into a stalemate>I'm maxed out on a 10-hand, Slowking would only deal 200, just 10HP short of beating M-Voir>No cards left in deck>Whip out a Red anyway (-1 card and +20 so still amounts to 200)>Opponent can't into math and immediately concedes
>>59670258I'm saving for C1. Just completed the 1* collection by a WP. Actually, I think all 2*s I got instead are by WP. And then there are two shiny Dedenne.
My wife, Skyla
>>59670804Normally I don't care for it, but those thighs? Beyond premier-tier
>>59670804>F2P Skyla cosmeticssankyuu dena i forgive you for everything
does skyla even work in any decks besides the obvious swanna ex?I want to use these accessories with a deck
>>59670919Scizor? Generally I could only see her being useful as a recovery from someone's Sabrina/Cyrus if your deck revolves around stage 1s
>>59670919Leafeon, Scizor and Scizor ex are similar to Swanna but former doesn't really care about retreat energy since it's used with Leafeon ex while the latter have their own Skyla on legsJellicent can use Skyla to retreat after it tanks a hit and donates energy around, but Marlon's better since it scoops it back into the hand which highlights the next problem, anything she sends to the bench will just get dragged back out by Cyrus
>>59670919Is Swanna EX even remotely decent? I feel like the've done the thing dirty considering how much they push for Skyla.
>>59670941swims in the sea of 3-energy stage 1 excolorless 140 damage makes it better than a lot of them, but not enough with that annoying drawback
>>59670919
>Mega Houndoom event had Victini Moltres Houndoom coinflips>TR Lapras event had Misty and Grunt coinflips>Mega Chomp event has Meowth stallshittery coinflipsI fucking hate this game
>Skyla board has feather special effects>they're layered behind the display card
>>59670258Could have been better honestly
>free skyla accesorios.Is DENA drunk as fuck? This is awesome but they must be insane for giving this for free.
>>59670258The Raped™(Gengar was Wonder Picked)
luck has been so miserable that i might not even bother getting a second copy of this garchomp fuck, there'll be no point in this game's future where running two could possibly be worthwhile anyways. I can't stomach having my randomly abysmal pack luck on the event with advanced mode AI's carefree steps rng. Even the exploit decks just take so fucking long
>>59671176I just use Suicune Greninja with double CyrusKill those fucking Dragonair or Gible before they can do anything
>>59670258I'm almost 100% sure some DeNa game algorithm knows that I spent money on the last Deluxe, and now that the new one is here and I won't spend any money, I'm being punished for it. I haven't pulled any 2*s from the current DX, I got lucky trading a May and Lisia to someone that prefers the old Copycat.
>>59671165>>59671220The disparity between this 2100 pulled and 1800 pulled is sad.
Do you guys think there's any scenario where support/stadium card effects that add new win conditions could save this game? I feel like we're at an intriguing point now where it's so fast and shitty that there's not much to lose anyways by breaking the glass on something so dramatic. If anything could just add some spice for a little while.
>>59671176Use Mega Sharpedo.
What did the universe mean by this?
>>59671531>the 4-diamond's spot can be taken by the 2-starI thought the 3-diamond spot is the one that gets taken up by the glossy or star cards
>>59671531I like packs like these. If you had gotten a Kirlia instead of the Frigibax, I would've considered it a God pack.
>shuts down any sleep based deck so hard that they ragequit.Why doesn't get more use?
>>59671531The ugly dragon thing ruins it. Also, today Wally is more associated with Gallade instead.
>>59671220You're definitely "rewarded" for spending money. For as long as I had premium, I was somehow getting a crown a month. I discontinued that a year ago and haven't got one since.
>>59671597It sucks when you start with it.
Could've went to masterball rank with a 100% winrate with mega-sceptile deck if it wasn't for that fucking hydreigon nigger getting his retarded card turn 3 with bombirdier just to fuck over my sabrina.
>>59670258I'm pretty happy with itgot to stop caring when I got the copycat from WPthen pulled crown miraidon todayjust need the charmeleon but could easily trade for it if it comes to that
>>59671176just run sawk dipshitone-taps meowth and ignores the protectionthen you got mega luke in the back
>>59672020Lucario gets one-shot by Garchomp.
>>59672042Just use the arena and korrina
>>59672042so use cape? the AI doesn't have field blower to remove itor put rocky helmet on sawk, that way chomp gets into kill rangeuse your brain buddy
anyone got full art tyrantrum for trade? i'm so fucking tired of trying to trade with the faggots on trade apps who add you and then just ghost you. i'll give you anything B series, dragonair, riolu, treecko, whatever the fuck.
>>596720894348995237486888I'd prefer Magby, but I don't care that much. I've got 2 on this account.
>>59671802Not if you deck is grass.
>>59672107added, slowpoke iconwasn't sure if i had magby but it turns out one of my alts does so you're in luck
>>59672118Radical
>>59672121huge thanks bro
you guys think we're getting one big pack instead of three for C series launch? that'd be giga fucked.
>>59672142With the past 10 months and how they're switching to a 6-week release cycle, I almost expect it.The ex starters seem to be in the weekly packs, so the whole pack will have MMX as its posterboy.
Anyone have a Pokemon Center Lady FA they'd be willing to trade? Can offer:Trainer:- Deluxe Elesa FA- Team Rocket's Boss FA- Puppy-Loving Girl FA- Red FAPokemon:- Deluxe Mega Lucario FA- Deluxe Mega Altaria FA- Deluxe Mega Blaziken FA- Deluxe Mega Gengar FA- Deluxe Mega Charizard Y FA
Honestly this last pack is the last chance the game has to keep me playing (and paying for premium)I want actual content so hopefully that gimmick event is good and not just “only use cards from the newest pack”Because otherwise 6 weeks between packs with basically only a delayed ranked season to look forward to is awful
does any have an extra Team Rockets Raticate EX to trade?
>>596724273763439358922697Send me whatever, I have an extra
>>59672426Ranked serves no purpose anymore now that they removed losing points.
>>59672436thank you!
I love you lilliecunny. If you see this, please answer the phone. I promise I won't bring up child support again. But love you, thanks for the cards.
>>59672111Even when your deck is grass, it's not a very good mon. Usually needs 3 energies before it can actually do damage, 2 energy for 60 damage is too large an investment and it's so frail that it can cost you games easily if it even gets scratched on turn 2 and cyrused out later.It's not a terrible card. It's just starting with it is a very huge disadvantage.
>>59670682This is why Team Rocket Magmar is sleeper OP. Because people can't math out that its burst is 190 damage after burn and poison tick.
>>59670919Was going to say Dragonite EX but then I read the card again LOL
>>59671446>LUCKY POP STADIUM>ON EACH PLAYERS TURN, FLIP 5 COINS>GAME ONLY ENDS WHEN SOMEONE SUCCESSFULLY FLIPS 5 HEADS IN A ROW!
>>59672530I already run an arcade hoopa troll deck when I'm bored do not tempt me
>>59672542brew?
I heard there was some tournament where cyrus was banned? If so, was it amazing and fun and balanced? Nowadays I feel like cyrus is almost necessary with the megas and zero retreat EX cards, but I remember early meta cyrus felt like broken and unbalanced trash that ruined the game for me
>>59672530>>GAME ONLY ENDS WHEN SOMEONE SUCCESSFULLY FLIPS 5 HEADS IN A ROW!lol does this override 3 points win condition
>>59672530I would play this to troll my opponent into dumb plays and then leafblower it when I get 3 points.>>59672612Yup lol.
What rare Pikas are you guys gonna pull from the Pika Pika speshul Pika pack pulls event that starts tomorrow?>mfw i'll probably get nothing
>>59672709whats even in those packs? just regular pikachus?wouldnt mind the rainbow pika from shiny revelry
>>59672709the electric type one
>>59672715
>>59672746>still 1/40 for a 2* pikathis is gay as hell dudecan't even give us boosted rates for useless shitcards everyone already has?fuck off
>>59670328I wouldn't mind one 8760-2549-0040-4253
>>59672746I have pikachu and eevee fatigue
>>59672753I felt the exact same looking at the rates. I don't even fucking want Pikachu and I'm annoyed because it's just insulting. It's like a friend offering to pay you for helping them move, and you decline cause you did it just out of being a bro. But they insist and five you a fucking $1 bill. Like don't even fucking bother, by that point you're actually damaging the relation than performing an act of good will. Nobody wants this shit. We all have Pikachu. Nobody uses Pikachu.
Whoa
>>59672839Double whoah. Now if I could get some luck for pulling crown miraidon.. that would be sweet.
>>59672521Magmar is an unexpected nuke, but it's way too frail and requires a lot to go its way.
>>59672839>>59672853the fuckI haven't seen shit for 2*s show up in WP this whole dog shit set
>>59672753There's 2 pack variants. One of them is meant to be guaranteed to have a card higher than 4d.Of course, that just means you'll get the 1*.
>>59672860Honestly I'm surprised. During the entire team rocket pack I didn't pull or see a single wp 2* card. This set I've been much luckier in contrast.
>>59673147Wtf gibs me dats
It's been months since I got anything over 4d out of WP.
>>59672859Not much really. It's a 4 card combo for only 1 energy that does 190. Less setup than Lucario. And at only 1 point, it doesn't matter too much that it's frail. It's a really underrated glass cannon. Even a turn 2 Rocket Plan into 60 damage wins games early sometimes. It's not the best deck but people underestimate it very hard, especially when they confidently bring Lucario or Altaria to the front to kill Magmar 1 only for Magmar 2 to revenge kill instantly.I will admit I'm biased cause Magmar is my bro and I fucking hate how they pissed on it with INSANE KLOWN POSSEE evolution. So I'm thrilled we have a usable Magmar that isn't meant to be evo-fodder for a (most likely unusable) mon I hate seeing. I remember trying the Elec/Mag duo archetype they gave us and being disappointed as hell.
Genuinely how can they save this game
>>59673377Start doing the MASTER SEX strategy of just printing fanservice cards.
>>59673384I wouldn’t mind thisJust want more of literally anything to do in the fucking gameI don’t know why I’m paying for premium not like it’s a lot of money but still
>>59673391Stop paying and write in the reason box that you want lolis
>Pokemon Pocket youtuber makes a new video>It's shotmon sloppa with coinflips that do insane damage but only if you get the perfect coinflips>Tout it as some underdog deck when it's actually just dogshit
>>59673377Entire new format(s) that make the game more fun to play and build decks (it sounds like they might be doing something from the newsletter)Rotating banlist where the top 10% of cards included in ranked decks are hard banned from next ranked season, top 20% restricted to 1Then they need to stop 'printing' fucking slop.Enough of this 10-15 viable/playable cards per set and the rest is literal garbage pack filler.
>>59673434I agree if they aren’t going to do a rotation like normal pokemon tcg then they gotta do a ban list like yugiohI guess with hard enough power creep a ban list is naturally occurring but there’s stuff that just HAS to go
>>59673402Tbh not really a fan of pokemon loli but Lillie is a good Hebe I guessMore of a May and Hilda guy
>>5967343410-15 is a very optimistic figure.But they won't ever stop printing unplayable garbage because they want you to open packs, then spend to open even more packs when your free shit is complete garbage due to terrible pull rates.
I can't wait for the weekly starter ex pack to have the same card amounts and rates as regular packs.
>>59673441The staples just kill it for me.2x prof, 2x pokeball, 1x cyrus, at least 1x copycat, 2x rare candy if you're running stage 2'sIts like 1/3 of the deck is just the same shit most of the time.The game has so many fringe cards that are like "I'd like to use this, I just don't have room for it" and it fucking kills any creativity. >>59673448>they want you to open packsThe irony is that if there was less filler shit in the packs, I'd want to open more.
>>59673456At first I didn't mind the 20-card decks too much, but there is so little flexibility these days and they keep printing niche cards that could be cool but ultimately there is never any room for.
>>59673456Yeah I really think we need 25-30 card decks with 4-5 pointsProbably the lesserEnough for deck variability and the ability to make a come backLose your ex, sack a basic while building bench idkOr just make it completely like tabletop with 6 prize cards and same deck size but a smaller board basically like duel links but without skills
>>59672746lmfao
>>59673480Intern took 2 seconds to think of the caption for this post. They knew it was pointless to try hyping up this trash.
I've hit 3 2* WPs this month, and I'm afraid all my luck is being used up.
To the collectors ITT can you explain why you collect cause I never really got itThe only full art I ever hunted was Lanturn since it’s my favorite mon but even then I just put it on a display board and never look at itDo you flip through your collections? Do you just enjoy the thrill of pulling something rareThere’s really nothing to it since it’s all digital so I don’t get it, what do you do it for
>>59673549i masturbate to immersive mew
>>59673549it's funbasically the same reason I went for a full living dex in Homethey're all 1s and 0s stored in a server somewhere but the idea that I was the one that got them all makes my brain happy
>>59673549The right button on my mouse stopped working so I can't right click save jpegs anymore. My only recourse is to buy them. I also have a collection of Bored Apes that I've been trying to trade for an Oak but nobody wants to trade...
>>59673499I missed like 7 or 8 so the game is clearly saving up my luck for the next set
>>59673551AHA! I knew I was right to have that as my sillymode profile picture on grindrvindicationn!!!! thank you sir>>59673549for me it's masochistic completionism at this pointI'm pretty fucked 'cause I've been active since GA week 1 so having one of every card is actually possible on my account and that makes it much much easier for me to mispercieve sunk cost fallacy as genuine obligation
Anyone want to trade a Mega Absol? I've got pic related to offer.
Anyone wanna trade me a Deluxe Charmeleon so I can do anything fucking else instead of whiffing all my wonder picks for it?I have extra eevees, dratinis and fidoughs (and a decent chance of having what you would want from any other set)
>>59673636>sillymode profile picture on grindr
>>59673549Half is the cope illusion that people are actually looking through my binders and appreciating my color coded favorite selection of art cards/rares. The other half is just having one more thing to interact with as I get my chase pulls, it's like I'm simulating the experience of sleeving a good pull and compartmentalizing it in some special trophied space.Honestly I do from time to time flip through my own collection autistically too, if only just to see it grow or to ponder on old waves of this game's pack series'.
>>59673636>sillymode profile picture on grindrWhat does this mean?
I finally found a way to deal with this without having to deal with garchomp two shootings mega lucario
>Ranked season with the same Team Rocket MetaOh joy
>They gave Imakuni?'s effect to fucking Team Rocket Grunts instead>The dude still posts Pokemon cards on his twitterman.
>Failed an Acerola WPWhy is this game so cruel?? :(
>>59674533how can this game be so cruelhouse
>>59673549I was enjoying collecting all the FA female trainersBut after my binder filled up and I can't add anymore to it I lost motivation
>>59673549I usually collect based on what I getI got two of the three birds full art, I'll get the third oneI got Blue and Red I'll get LeafI got a bunch of the female protagonists FA I'll get all fem protagonists as they releaseJust like that
How does any app fuck up push notifications so bad? The pack stamina notification only works every few days. The wonder pick stamina doesn't work at all. Sometimes I'll get backlog notifications when I open the app.Anyone else have this issue? Using Android (app has all notification permissions).
>>59674614It sends me the useless push notification when I open the game lol
>>59674614dena programming (multimillion dollar company, multibillion dollar IP btw)
Lmao pulled a 2nd Copycat at 450 pack pointsProbably just gonna hop back on Shining Revelry now, I'll be leaving 10,000+ shinedust on the table but I would genuinely just be fucking pissed off if I pulled a gold koraidonWas hoping to pull Lucario or Fug because those are the only 2 meta decks I haven't played with yet but they'll end up going for food stamps even if they stay relevant anyway
>Second Delux Meptile in WPTRADE ME DELUXE COPYCAT
>>59674324>I finally found a way to beat the easy ass pack mission botbased retard
>>59672861stop talking out of your ass, the ex pack guarantees a 2* or the 2* big shiny so everyone is getting at least one 2* pika
>>59674614The fact that you can't even set trade-related notifications is fucking retarded.
>>59674748I have a Lucario I don't want.
>>59670258I opened ten single packs, on the second I got crown Koraidon, on the tenth I got 2* M Gardevoir, and I got 2* Copycat from a WPSo I just stopped pulling after the first week since they were pretty much begging me to skip this packI'm not hyped yet about the next pack either, so it seems my 2500 gems are going to be come 2800
>>59670258I got 2 immersives, 3 shiny Dedenne, a handful of 1*s, but nothing else. I gave up on the pack after a day, and only opened 40 of them.My WP luck has been pretty good. Got a Sceptile, Blastoise, and Lucario from them.
My wonder picks just never have anything in themShould I unfriend a bunch of people so my WP has more random people in it instead
>>59674839>Should I unfriend a bunch of people so my WP has more random people in it insteadon a pure statistical level that won't do anything at allsuperstition buff tho
>9/9 missed wonder picks A new personal record...
Finally, I win! i failed two Mega Charizards Y, two "bitch whose parents are dead" (I figured he would make a decent trade fodder) and one Mega Sceptile but I finally got one!
>>59674891Grats anon! I missed charizard x twice already so i hope i manage to pack him before c series drops
ANOTHER MILLIONS YEARS OF PSYCHIC SUPPORT
>>59673657Still looking? I'll take Quilava from RotS if you got it
This set looks mediocre as fuck.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGszU4YxLBIhttps://www.pokemon.com/us/news/pokemon-tcg-pocket-dual-fusion-expansion-coming-soonSchedule and trailer. Only one new dual type was shown
>>59674947>To celebrate the second anniversary of Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, players will be gifted a ticket that can be exchanged for a booster pack guaranteed to include a card.What pack are we picking, boys?
Which Pikachu did you just get? I got the original 2 star.
>introduce a new mega for a dual-type mon>don't make it dual-typeLITERALLY what were they thinking?
Mega Dragonite is interesting I'll argue it replaces mega fugYou stall with Drampa as per usual, but now you get to directly build upon DragonairThe cost is high but you get to spam your attack without repercussions each turn, and it gets Wally support
>>59674947>No new waifucard revealed.Goddammit.
>>59674954Dragonite being random is kinda shitty, and it can't attack until it gets 4. I don't see it replacing Fug.
>>59674953Oh shit ZA Megas
>no mention of any sort of game updatesWhat an absolute flop of a release. Not even increasing the deck slots beyond 25.
i dont very much care for gen 1 or pikachu
>>59674979gamba diancie. i suppose there's been much worse promo ex
>>59674987I see it more as powercrept Celebi.
>WP for RR JolteonOkay? I'll never use it but->WP for DX CopycatHOLY SHIT what a horrible time having negative Dust...!With that & 2 spare Cyrus I'll be a fucking kingpin for when C1 finally drops
>>59674991enjoy your rainbow frog
>>59674947Which pack do you open?
Wow where was this ability with the other blastoise that actually needed energy? Probably the best Blastoise we have still though.
Alright fellas who is playing the new Mew EX + Reuniclus and becoming immortal
>New Pikachu ex is a 2D illustration>Most of the other revealed ex were not made by someone from PlanetaAaaaa
>>59674998I hope it's a choice so the entire trading market can collapse overnight(+2 weeks) from people rerolling accounts until they get what they want.
>>59674998Remind me, what the infamous mysterious ticket gave the last time?
>>5967501024 hourglasses
>>59675013You forgot the 100x 1k pack hourglasses to dead/bot accounts and the 10x 10k pack hourglasses to dead/bot accounts
>>59674998A second Cyrus is the only 2* I'd end up using
>>59675023STS Dialga and MR Gyarados are going to be the popular choices. They've got pretty good odds. 1/12 and 1/11, respectively. I can't think of anything else worth pulling, really. Korrina is popular, but Pulsing Aura has fucking 23 2*s.
I can't wait for the new charizard to shit out 60/120 damage per turn while on the bench while running Magby/Moltres EX, that's totally not going to be cancer at all.
>>59675049Nvm not magby, I keep forgetting it's for basics only.
>>59675049Using an ex to support a non-ex has always been a meme.
>>59675049Bro just run Hydreigon lol
>>59675053The one thing Zard has over Hydreigon is that it can one-shot a baby and potentially get some damage in on its replacement.
Hi team, I’m running g a /vp/ poll and would appreciate your engagement, thank you! >>59675015
>>59670258Literally nothing
>>59675063Did you manage to respond to the poll? I posted it before you commented….
Nice
>>59675063>mfw I cry about pulling nothing but got some good wps at leastBruh sorry about that
>>59675059Nobody is going to have a baby in active by the time you set up too if you plan on running a competent mixed deck with ignition and an mzard. Niche meme deck card for sure.
>>59675077>play first>rare candy by turn 3>free baby kill
>>59675082>>59675077>>59675075>>59675074Please can you respond to my poll?>>59675061We’re supposed to be a community and the lack of engagement is embarrassing.
>>59675084
>>59675082Candy is going to take a lot of deck space sacrifice, you're shedding the two cards I mention or entei ex, possibly other important utility. You're probably dedicating the whole deck to standard candy zard like you'd be running a hydreigon, hiking trail and lots of items. Niche meme.
>>59675087I don’t understand your Chinese cartoon meme reference I’m afraid. Can you please complete the poll?Best,Meghan
>>59675075I only saw a Venusaur in WP once and I failed it
This is the first Mega Garde I got, and it was from the last reward pack.

>>59675219sent. i hope japanese is alright.>>59675218not sure what you're referring to, but i'll take another rainbow shark if you have one as well.
I don't play other mobile games. Is it normal to have a "the date has changed, we need to hard reboot the fucking game and push you to the title screen so you can waste time on our poorly optimized loading screens again" function? Or do they just update live, like any competent dev can program?
>>59675226The m rayquaza from the deluxe pack. I don't have a sharpedo unfortunately
>>59675228Yes. Not all do, but it's normal.
>>59675228You expect the devs of a japanese gacha game about POKEMON to put any effort into it? These retards can't even make a fucking dark mode after two entire years.
damnit someone give me a rainbow shark>>>>>59675209plus JP rainbow mirai, JP rainbow manectric, ENG sightseer, juliana
>new pack>it's a fucking 1g focused pack w/ GreninjaDaring today are we?
>>59674998which one is the most worthwhile pack? something that even if you got a dupe of you would get a lot of trade value out of it
>>59675005Me, I love Reuniclus I still have the deck I made with Reuniclus Gardevoirs and Indeedee, its pretty funny
>>59675228Yes, gacha are spaghetti coded
>>59675231That's fucking sad lol. That shut should just be purely server-sided. An actual update of course should require a reset. Daily updates shouldn't require that shit.
It's so funny how they introduce a new Pikachu pack with SHIT rates featuring cards everyone fucking has already on the same day that they tease a new Pikachu card that isn't included in the pack.
>Starting next update, rental dekcs from previous packs will be removed when new ones are introducedTHANKFUCKINGGODSo tired of the rental deck notifications. They should actually just turn that shit off for anyone over level fucking 15. It'd have the added effect of crippling alt accounts, but I guess that's already being taken care of by removing step up battles.
>>59670258Copycat kid is being a fag 1290 points in. Iris on the alt thankfully
>>59670258How many packs did you open?
>>59674953Raboot? Cinderace EX?
>>59674998the pleb choice is sts palkia or mr gyaradosknowers will open ga charizard
>>59675271Are the zards up for trade?
I really hate this high melanin double meowth garchomp horseshit
>>59675338I will reroll SR on an alt until I get PCL.
>>59675352>the humble repel:
>new mew EX is flip coin>new mega mewtwo is flip coinYES!!!! I LOVE THE CPU FUCKING MY ASS BY SOLELY FLIPPING HEAD!!!!
>>59675352Just go for the mega charizard Y route, you build one on the bench while the entei handle everything else, eventually the AI will have to bring the mega garchomp to KO your entei and when that happen mega charizard will get the KO in a single hit
>>59674947holy fuck is that... KANTOOOOOOOOOO?Mew looks decent I guess. The rest of them look unbelievably mediocre and boring in current yearWhy do they hate dragonite again?
Kanto always wins, son.
>dual type gimmick>Only two megas with itRidiculously stupid. Chesnaught and Delphox could debut with Greninja for Grass Fighting and Fire Psychic but Gamefreak preferred to shill Kanto for the 6th time.
>>59675426mew is just psychic moltres BUT it works with budding expeditioner so maybe it sees some use. kinda doubt it though, psychic already has a lot of ramp options.
>>59675005I actually really love they just put psychic moltres on a regular old mew ex reprint. Actually could hold a use case vs carbink
>>59675343I got an extra zard y from the mega pack if you want anon. Do you have mega quaza from this set, or hoopa ex RR?
>>59675512carbink is most likely better for diancie since diance doesn't need all the energy to be on it, but yeah other cards may prefer mew ex
>>59675352This setup has been working well for me, lets you snipe the Meowths to bypass the coinflip, or the dragonairs to stop their energy generation.
>>59675517Neither of those unfortunately, in fact I'm looking for a dx ray aswell
>>59675557Post your code, maybe you have some random 2 star I want.
Finaly more deck slots and level cap at 70
>>59675591>more deck slotsabout fucking time, goddamn.
>>59675591Why is it only 5 decks at a time? At least double it.
>>59675601yeah it's such an arbitrary restriction. there's no reason we can't just have like 50 or 100 decks.
>>59675615Especially now that power creep has slowed down a ton and there are decks that have remained viable for nearly a year, while new ones keep coming out.
>>59675615It's so they can slow drip expansions and make people feel like the updates are adding new stuff when in reality it's just changing two digits in the code. They can make it feel like the game is "progressing" since launch with nothing burger QoL features like this.
>>59675576This would be everything I'd trade for the yzard
Based on their track record and everything they’ve been saying they’re going to add, after this update, each screen will take about two years to load.
>>59675591How about they add a fucking trade feature that lets me list cards I'm looking for and willing to trade, and randoms not on my friends list can put up a trade. So I don't have to use these dog shit 3rd party apps that spamfuck me with ads every 10sFor a digital game that has trading in the name is sure is like pulling teeth to actually trade.
>>59675755Because that would make trading TOO easy. Remember, trading isn't even a feature they really planned to implement despite being called a TCG. Maybe their lawyers got on them or something and they realized they needed to do it to not be struck with false advertising lawsuits. But trading is definitely something they begrudgingly upkeep but would much rather do without. Trading kills the entire economy of gacha games, so it's kinda funny that they have it at all. Probably hurts their profits but it's a bullet they have to bite.
>>59675751They'll add a dark mode, but enabling it makes every menu load 1.5x slower for some reason.
we need more field spell cards.
>>59675767>Trading kills the entire economy of gacha gamesI could see that in a typically character gacha that has one big product like a new character every few weeks.But in a collect game like this where its literally unfeasible to collect or chase certain cards, it would only help the average playerRight now if a new set comes out and there's a chase card I want, my options are:>get lucky and just pull the card (that isn't happening)>spend money to hit the 1250 pity (I'm not fucking doing that)>use a 3rd party app and sift through the shit and scammers and maybe a trade (annoying af, but it works)Now if they add proper trading that can be done in game without needing 3rd party shit, I can>spend money until I pull literally any 2* in the new set, and I can probably turn it into the chase card I wantedI get they're just trying to milk the whales they have with their current shitty system, because most of them will just unironically rip 100 packs a day until they get their shit.But the recent updates and features they've been doing also imply that they are well aware of the problem that their light spenders and players in general are bleeding out.
>>59675789>literally unfeasible to collect or chase certain cardsIt's not unfeasible. You're not not spending enough money, which is the whole point of gacha games. You spend money for jpegs you could otherwise right click save. If you aren't getting a card, you're supposed to pay THEM for the pleasure of getting said card, not Chang undercutting them on ebay.
>>59675789>>spend money to hit the 1250 pity (I'm not fucking doing that)You are now realizing why trading ruins gacha economies, from first principles.
>>59675793>>59675796Whales do that though, and will do it regardless of whether there's convenient trading or not. A whale is not going to go to the trouble of finding or setting up a trade, they'll just rip another 100 packs tomorrow.QoL and convenient features exist to make the non-whales happy so they want to keep playing. Light spenders still make up a huge portion of gacha revenue when there are enough of them. And if the f2p/light spenders quit, the whales have no fish in the ocean to lord over, so they get bored and quit too - its a domino effect. And its also why revenue and playercount drop proportionally over the game's life span.
>>59675295besides dropping hourglass for a 40 pull, the rest where regular pullsdid hit 3 wp though
>4chan was kill for 24 hours and Moot didn't do a single fucking thingAnyway, it's funny how the JP news site has more information than the English one. There's a screenshot of the special starter Pokemon pack there, but of course 4chan was down when I was going to post it 24 hours ago and now the JP site is down for maintenance because JP devs are actually retarded. So I'll share in like an our or so. Also the wording on the JP site regarding guaranteed 2 star pick is also a bit ambiguous, but it sounds like there's some kind of option for us to pick. I suspect it'll be multiple packs that have different pools of 2 stars rather than 1 pack with all the 2 stars in them. But I'll re-read when the site is up again.
>>59676005>4chan was kill for 24 hours>JP site is down for maintenance because JP devs are actually retardedHmmm, almost as if a whole section of the web was down on purposed because of a massive vulnerability was found? No, can't be that, everyone is just stupid.
Why don't they do cool shit like delta species anymore? Dual type is a lame gimmick. Let me use Gengar in a fucking grass deck.
>>59676024Because the Tera gimmick in the actual TCG effectively replaced Deltas. So if anything, Tera would come to Pocket before Deltas would even be considered.
>>59676024Pokemon is way more protective of its brand now and won't allow the Pokemon to be misrepresented.
>>59675796Yeah, just reroll an alt constantly until you get what you want and trade it to your main later. No idea why you’d whale when you can just do that.I assume that’s why you can’t trade for immersives and crowns.
>>59676043Tera is gay though. I don't wanna see my bros wear a gay pimp hat and covered in sparking cum effects like a discoball. I wanna see RED GYARADOS ON FIRE AS A FIRE TYPE ABOUT TO SHOOT FIRE AT YOU. I want to see TYRANITAR LAUNCHING THUNBERBOLTS. I wanna see GARDEVOIR WITH HER LEGS SPREAD, HER ASSHOLE STRETCHED WIDE, DRIPPING WITH CUM WHILE SHE'S PEEING (AS A WATER TYPE).
>>59676024There are a multitude of reasons they won't do this, but the most important one is that it'd require them to make a ton of new artwork. And this game only has a budget of 25¥ per month, so they can't afford that.
>>59676024A lot of deltas were dual type though, and those were arguably the coolest ones
>>59676024Maybe they're trying to minimize any TCG-exclusive lore
>>59676079Yea, I actually meant dual type on its own is lame. Delta gave us a better way of handling dual types since it gave cool takes on familiar Pokemon and allowed them to be used in decks they otherwise wouldn't fit into. The intro of dual types just made me miss delta more.
>>59676071
>>59676071>gardevoirYou sold me.
You take that back, tera isn't g-
>>59676071Yes, that would be nice to see, indeed
Finally got my first 2*, over 100 packs in
>>59676134Sorry, wrong pic. I'm getting ready for the new Mew EX. Here's the actual pic
should counterfeit cards matter when playing casually irl?
>>59676186>>59662578
>>59676201fuck i'm illiterate
>>59676186Nobody plays PokemonTCG irl. What do you think this is, YuGiOh?
>>59676209aren't pokemon tcg, yugioh and MTG all just different versions of the same game?
Dual type seems like shit, or at least very underworked. If you told me greninja was just another water, and mewtwoX a psychic, I'd believe it. Nothing in in their energy costs or anything implies there is anything dual type about them, other than that they are. Its literally just making mono type cards but letting them access the type support from the type they aren't actually. Like why not give them a second attack or an ability that interacts with their dual type instead of just making it "greninja, but can use deceptive needle :^)"Granted they only showed 2 cards, and maybe they're just trying to start slow and safe so they don't make any aids out the gate
>>59676253I dunno man, they went out the gate swinging in B1 with Mega Altaria + Indeedee, and both remained relevant all the way through the B series, so I wholeheartedly believe there's gonna be some evergreen busted shit in C1.
>>59676261Oh no doubt. I'm not saying the cards are gonna be bad, I'm sure they'll be quite strong or even meta. They're just kind of bland and they don't give off the "dual type" vibe to me.
>>59676267I get what you mean. Feels like they missed an opportunity to truly try supporting dual type decks, especially now that we have Rainbow Cave to smooth out the random energy curve . Greninja Oricorio is a cool taste of what the game could be if it really wanted to support dual typing. Potential for something more than it is, and this is the perfect opportunity to introduce something like that if they ever wanted to support it. It'd have felt way better if it had a role when used in dark decks vs in water decks. As it is now, Greninja feels more like "Water type EXTRA" rather than Water/Dark.
>>59676253Their attacks seem nerfed compared to other megas, and they've only shown ones with types that have little support.
I think they'll be busted. Just not as fun as they could have been for creativity.
>>59676253i agree, pretty underwhelming considering the potential 2 type could be my favorite thing about them though is having any future support potentially making any dual type busted combined with an existing support
Damn this shit is ugly
>>59676422reminds me of the old pikachu 3ds with camera nipples
Wyrdeer will save dual types.
>>59676434now way its gotta be volcanion imagine flame patch + misty energy generation
>>59676450volcanion is just going to be a throwaway 3 diamond card that needs like 3 fire energy for 110 damage and a burn
>>59676463surely the ex will save him
>>59676318I'm surprised after dhelmise EX existed and got laughed out of the game, they still seem to think "the defending pokemon can't retreat" is some crazy strong secondary effect that is worth cucking an attack's damage for
>>59676486If the retreat blocking property also worked with anything that switches the active Pokemon out from moves or abilities, then it would actually have some sort of value. Maybe not game-breaking, but truly locking in the opponent's active Pokemon could make for some nasty brews.
>>59676486>after dhelmise EX existed and got laughed out of the gameand this is a 2nd stage version too to be fair, 2 energy for 100 and no retreat cost isn't half bad but it being a fairly fragile mega ruins it
>Mega Dragonite's attack is called "Draconic Meteor" solely to prevent a combo with Drayden Not fun.
>>59676532That's what I checked the first thing I saw mega dragoniteOn one hand, having two shots of 250 damage is crazyOn the other hand, fuck dena for cutting off potential support instead of giving mega dragonite a different move
I'm not even playing altaria
worth
>>59676603traded from your alt? cool story brah
>>59676640why do you assume the worst? i traded cause a random friend wishlist
>>59676486it's crazy that the only thing mega greninja really has over the existing greninja ex is a little bit of HP and the ability to use dark support which you probably won't run because everything else in your deck is water so said support is just a winmore brickthey're both 100 damage for 2 water, and honestly gren ex has uses mega gren doesn't since it can swap your mons around for free (which gets around mega gren's trapping funnily enough) while mega gren can only retreat itself for no cost, it can't come in from behind a 0 energy suicune on turn 4 like gren ex canlike genuinely what does the card even do for a greninja deck?? i'm fucking baffled they're printing this
>>59676724I feel the same, it's like a multi-tool that will accomplish very little. I expect as much from most of them, this batch at least. I hope they don't expect us to shove all our generic support onto them the entire run, like they'll need something specific sooner or later.
>>59676724It looks weak for a mega but I'm sure there will be some busted trainers, items, tools, or stadiums that work exclusively for dual type cards to make up for it
>>59676253honestly i feel like the concept as a whole is really flawed, it's a complete nothingburger unless you're a fighting dual type. other types' support options just aren't worth running to support one single attacker, only fighting plays nice with it due to the playstyle of saving it all for the endgame turn.like let's consider a hypothetical mega golisopod, as grass/metal, with metal energy. what does it gain from being grass type? erika? does nothing for the rest of your deck. leaf cape? does nothing for the rest of your deck, metal core barrier/steel apron are better anyway. fragrant forest? oops, all metal basics!meanwhile a fire dual type is literally useless if you don't use fire energy since the only support is flame patch, a water dual type gets you basically nothing because irida and soothing shore require water energy while misty generates only water energy, a lightning dual type is useless because you have nothing but electric generator you can't make use of and electrical cord that does nothing without electric energy, etc.it just doesn't make any sense. they're going to need to print a TON of very specifically designed support cards to make this gimmick anything more than a complete joke.
>>59676763>hypothetical mega golisopod>fragrant forest? oops, all metal basics!other than Wimpod of course, but would rather just use poke ball or the opponent's fragrant forest for that.
>>59676486It just seems so lopsided. Fire gets a 120+20 attack for 2 energy, Grass gets a 130+10 for 2 energy, Water gets 100+a garbage secondary effect for 2. Maybe they thought it would be too powerful combined with the needle?
>>59676763Dual type would have been more interesting if it could use both energy types for its attack costs, then you could run the same Pokemon in multiple kinds of deck. Since they have shown so little interest in actually supporting dual energy.
What would've been really interesting is if they finally gave us special energy cardsThey'll fuck up the meta for sure making things ramp even faster, but at least that's more than the wet fart we're getting
>>59676948DCE, let's bring back Arceus.
>>59676572They know you have lethal, and they have one card on the field
>>59676912I'm gonna withhold judgement until I see the full set. But yeah it doesn't look great on a first impression
Since Pikachu ex is getting 3rd different card does that mean we will get third Charizard ex or new Mega X and Mega Y versions?
>>59677146Eevee_____
>>59676763We have an entire third year of new types supports to anticipate, but yes dual type cards is a very flat gimmick at face. It's a cover up for the real C series draw which is ZA megas a year late.
>>59677214Now that we have dual types to keep in mind, I don't think type support will ever become better than what we have. Can't have some random edge case finally become good in this artificial meta.
>>59677245Me personally, I think they're going the route of being stingey with dual types reserving them for a few poster cards of otherwise faceless random boosters and newer supports will be catered entirely in mind for those said cards with less applicable benefits for older cards of the type pool.
>>59677274Well they already fumbled Greninja. Maybe Lucario will allow steel support to happen(unlikely), but all the other big shillmons are either monotype or Charizard who has a Flying secondary.
>>59677278metal's problem isn't bad support, it's that every mon is gimped and intentionally shit with terrible damage/energy ratios. the universal fire weakness doesn't help either since fire is a shill type. metal core barrier and steel apron are great, there's just nothing to fucking use them.
>>59676749how many busted mega support cards did we get in b series?because from where i'm standing all i see is serena and calem and they're shit
>>59677522They should add a reverse Iris card for Megas so they give -1 points if KO'd the next turn
This is a really fun deck
>>59677648FAGGOT
>>59677648Genuinely as cancerous as sleepfaggotry.
Anyone got that Deluxe Mega Venusaur for trade? I know we have a few days left for the pack but the odds suck ass. These are my offerings.
Leave el negro ninja to me!
>PikaPika missions last an entire yearWoah
>>59677978*ahem*I said...LEAVE EL NEGRO NINJA TO ME!!!
>>59677706>>59677704I'll stop playing it when it stops working though I'm not playing the retarded rat version, I'm playing the much superior crawdaunt/parasol lady variant. I don't have any Lana/Araquanid to play that variant
>>59678164You're still a faggot.
>>59678172Anon...I played both lantern control and eggs competitively. A9 lock is baby tier shit compared to that faggotry
Anybody know where's the floor for top 10k?
I'm astonished by how bad the rental decks are. I've always ignored them, but I'm using them specifically to grind step ups on my alt. The absolute dogshit that's included in these decks is out of this world.
>got stood up on a date for the second week in a row by a girl who’s ghosting me and responding to calls/texts despite getting paragraphs of texts telling me how much she was sorry the first time and still wanted to see me>just got thisA much needed reminder that I should never pay mind to 3dpd when 2d girls will always be there for me until EoS
still not pulling any 2stars from these pika packs what gives
>>59678755I pulled shiny on main and deluxe ex one on alt
could be worse but sadly I have to give up on chasing Copycat.
>>59678913Such is gambling. Who knows, might show up in these last few free packs. Probably. Not likely. Wish harder.
