>>54885333Can you post the most winning deck in this rotation?
>>54885380Lost Box w/GiratinaGardevoir exFusion Strike Mew/GenesectMiraidonStall Snorlax/Mimikyu/RotomV
>>54884739Sounds like a (You) problem.
Remember the hype?
>>54885804>all the chien-pao decks with this shit and still can´t see in actionIn another castle, Tserena EX is my new fun deck
>>54885804Turns out big basics still rule the meta so there's no evolution fodder for it
Why does no one use this card?
>>54886243No good grass pokemon. Toedscruel only does damage if you spread out energy, so gardenia putting 2 on 1 mon isn't idealWith Earthen Vessel it's pretty consistent, but yeah simply put there's no good grass attackers. Guess they want to chill charizard
Grass doesn't need an energy acceleratorgrass needs evolution accelerate
Grass doesn't need an evolution acceleratorGrass needs to be smoked
Grass doesn't need an evolution acceleratorGrass needs to be mowedget to it
Does anyone still even play Drapion or Spiritomb? I feel like I'm winning really easy with Mew decks now than ever before.
why does arven zard play jet energy? why not just play a switch so arven can search it out?>>54887011this has literally been going on for the last 4 months. mew pops up, people play drapion/spiritomb, mew goes away, people remove drapion/spiritomb, mew pops up because there is no drapion/spiritomb, etc..
>>54887035So the trick is to only use a Mew deck during those off tournaments where nobody happens to bring Drapion/Spiritomb?
>>54887055this game's competitive scene is a joke. remember that troon that won with rapid strike box? in 16 games he didnt get a single fucking lugia
>>54885804>Ancient guys get a universal accelerator so if you really wanted to mix and match Roaring Moon and Sandy Shocks, there are ways you can>Future guys have zero synergy with each other at all, making Techno Radar useless outside of flooding the board with Iron ValiantI really don't know what they were thinking with Turo.
Grass needs to atone for it's sins still.
>>54887055Feels like Mew might be decent if Valiant starts popping up everywhere.
>>54887149Ace spec maybe?
The free card today is mew-ex alt art. Getting pretty close to being able to play the peony roaring moon meme deck that uses 4 mews (1 mew from crafting, 1 mew from battlepass, 1 mew from twitch drops)
>make a deck around a fun gimmicky card to have a good time in normals>everyone plays the broken fotm, even in normalshow do you have fun in this game already?
Get absolutely fucked Lost Giratina, good riddance
Comfey...
>online grinder kid winssad
>>54888644>lost tina takes another LhappyAll that chatter about it being a sleeper overpowered deck in Japan and it takes two straight losses in the top cut of the first IC of the format against different decks
That didn't require a reply
One of the judges is a famous Youtuber here in Brazil LMAAAO
>>54883055Sorry, used up all mine by finally getting into the game and not just collecting.
>>54885804>4 energy for a 120 attack you must KO with turned out to not be an optimal playImagine my shock
>>54886243I run it in Tsareena, but it would probably just be better if I plugged in more Prof Research instead.
Besides the battlepass, what else do you buy with the purple gems?
>>54889405Shadowrider/mew vmax bundlesOr best use is the 6 packs of celebrations. The vmax bundles give faster up front credits, but the celebrations ones give more credits overall once you get 4x master set of it, then everything becomes dupes for credits. They're the best ways to get the credits to craft what you want, using them on anything else is a scam
>>54885402>Lost Box w/GiratinaIsnt Roaring moon better than Giratina in LZ decks
>>54889468Giratina still hits 280 which is enough for sableye set up or just killing v/stars. Moon has to ohko anything above 230 HP
>>54889487Yeah but think about:Giratina Lost Box was so good because its ability to one shot everything and trade blows. Roaring moon does the same thing, more so Giratina has these awkward moment when you need to discard 2 energy just to KO a single price card. Roaring Moon mostly removes this interaction. Also more space for stuff like water energy for ninja >Moon has to ohko anything above 230 HPYou're supposed to drop him lategame as finisher(simplified gamestate) most of the time rather than setting up early like tina.Well, 280hp lol still easy enough to get oneshotted
>>54889614Giratina is tanky and hard to deal with a lot of decks. Anyone can hit 30-90 on a moon clean upThe point of giratina lost box is it has cram/sableye as well to help its other match ups. It's very consistent all round. That's why arc+tina has fallen way off, going straight giratina isn't great
>finally get a chance to fuck over Gardevoir using the cape on Scream Tail>Tool Jammer in the last 4 prizesWhy do relevant tech cards always get prized in their specific matchups? I can't count how many times Manaphy has been prized against Chien-Pao essentially giving my opponent the game, too.
Lol better then Pikachu hell since im too lazy to even try ranked
>>54882847I'll literally win 5 then lose 5. I'll bounce between Greninja and Alakazam regardless of the deck I use. I have only made it to Umbreon twice, and I can't imagine the streak of luck it takes to make it to Arceus.
>>54887149A stadium that does this for every stage pokemon wouldnt be so bad once Vs get rotated
>>54890561You think so?
>>54891193Shit, this would be great. Allows Zard and Voir players to get all their stage 2 out, as well as clear floodgate stadiums and avoid that new devolution TM. Only big issue with it is that you would also need to search out the middle stage instead of a rare candy, which tends to be a bit more costly.
I concede after their first turn vs. any lost deck in casual
>>54889405New player, used mine to pick up the Meowscarada deck for some extra resources.
>opponent does an illegal deck check>his friend, the judge, tells him to knock it off without penaltybased...
>opponent decides to slow play to make sure I can't win>openly says they're going to slow play>call the judge on their ass>judge gives a time extension and makes sure he plays within the pace of the game>winopponent's win percentage is a shitty tiebreaker...
>>54885804Speaking of dead hype...
>opponent calls me a hard R during match>I kill him, judge just gives me a warning>win match since opponent was unable to playnice
Huh, did the crafting cost for cards changed? What's with the 25 extra credits for some cards? Fucking TPCi I swear
Miraidon feels so bricky to play after roaring moon... RM was mind broken me
>roaring moon tards who cant read that their instakill wont work on my cardVery funny turns wasted
>>54892598What card/combo is it? Kinda curios, as Moon still breaks through stuff like Tsareena with mask.
>>54892612Snorlax. The one you run in a lugia deck
>>54892625Fucking kek
>>54885874It is really damn funny how Tsareena, one of the most overlooked cards initially, ended up being probably the best Ex in the set behind Roaring Moon, while every other hype beast was discarded after a week of testing.
Can you currently get the twitch drops? It says it's in the time but there's no tcg stream up?
>>54892683Yeah I was wondering about that too.Also when do you get the rewards from the Twitch Drops? I claimed the rewards but I don't have it in the game yet.
>>54892683>>54892710It says its already closed for me.
>>54892710You must access the site to get the codes.https://rewards.pokemon.com/
>>54892710You have to login to the pokemon.com site and get codes there. There's a link to it through the twitch promotion
>>54892746The gallade ETB 2nd day one says closed for me, but the 3rd day mew one is still open?What was even in the ETB? Just a gallade promo?
I guess it's not working though I've not gotten any progression on it. The twitch times on it are incorrect then
you had to watch it live
>>54892754>What was even in the ETB?Iron Valiant's deck box and sleeves and an Iron Bundle promo card.
Friday was Roaring Moon ETBSaturday was Iron Valiant ETBSunday was 151 collectors box promo cards
>>54892747>>54892748Oh there they are. Thanks for the help!
>>54892808And none of the days ever worked for me!
skill issue
TIL Vengeful Punch works even if the Pokemon it's attached to is in the bench. That's neat.
Eat shit, lost pussies. Just be glad I didn't put down my Klefki on the placement.
Who here love big numbers?
>>54893168Literally have never even heard of this fucking card.
>>54893173It's pretty subpar since you need at least 40 damage on a big basic for a KO so you need to setup the damage counters first. I just play it to get that serotonin boost when I get to hit for 500+ damage.Currently running it with ASR Absol for the damage spread but it's so slow so I added Bonnet+R. Sneasler. Gapejaw Bog and Vengeful Punch helps a lot for spreading damage but again too many setups for a below average deck lol
>>54893213Thinking of pairing Lokix with Klefki/Mimikyuu instead for a more control type deck but haven't figured out what else to play it with since just bouncing back and forth isn't so great, especially with no Float Stone, but there is that Beach stadium I guess.
>>54893213I've also been thinking that it's better to use R. Alakazam instead of Sneasler and substitute the Bonnetts with Starmie or Hawlucha, but I don't have the credits to craft those cards yet
Completely forgot this card exists, maybe I'll try this in the deck.
>>54893168>>54893213bretty cool anon
>>54892665Yeah easily the third best stage 2 not counting baxcalibur. Garchomp could end up being good if fighting gets some more support
>>54893521I know Zard is first, but what's second best?
>>54893528Ah wait it's Garde nevermind
>>54882847So does the game already have some kind of gallery/collection to view the cards you own? Im not even updating that shit to check it out myself
Do we all agree that Miraidon winning LAIC was a fluke? Just like how Rapid Strike won the last international.Neither of those decks are gonna top 3 again.
>>54893482i miss birds & bats
>>54893799its almost as if this game is designed for 7 year olds
Seems like I'm not the first one to experiment with Lokix. These also seem fun and maybe even better, I'll try making them later when I have the cards.https://pokemoncard.io/deck/lokix-and-inteleon-68757https://pokemoncard.io/deck/lokix-qwilfiah-67458I did think of using Inteleon but somehow I missed that you can put it on the bench using the Rapid Strike supporter.And Quilfish does seem to be the most ideal Pokemon to put in the active after bouncing Lokix to the bench. Don't know why they run so many energies tho.
>>54894416lumineon vs squawk start glhf
>>54894425Squawk start for Moon isn't actually that bad if you can't charge your Moon in the first turn
>>54894420i tried adapting one of the valiant/entei decklists to use lokix instead, but in the end it was just a worse version of the same idea. entei is just so much more versatile.i still hope lokix can be good in the future though
>need to get the Silver Tempest Hisuian Braviary to finally complete this Tsareena ex deck>open 3 booster packs and they were all hits with a Lugia Vstars, a Candice Full Art, and a Trainer Gallery Smeargle with a Radiant AlakazamI just want a stinkin' Braviary.
>open 3 booster packs for a 10 cents rarelol?
>>54894537I did not to wait three weeks for a package that's gonna get lost again. Fuck the USPS.
>>54894597Still, you're talking maybe 2 bucks at most vs 15.
>>54894729It's pretty funny either way. Anon wants a dirt cheap card but pulls better cards anyways
>>54894597Next time ask your LGS for their commons pile, they usually have one of those
>>54893213>at least 40 damage on a big basic for a KOTry 60.
Which Pokemon would work well with my Wugtrio deck? I was thinking of adding Block Snorlax for late game stall but that might end up working against me if I can’t switch out.
>>54895560Crabominable V maybe for the last hit?
>>54895885>last hitDraw is the same as discard if it really is the final turn.
>>54894416Eternatus was so much fun back in the day
>>54895958>not posting english cardsBack to 2ch you go
>>54896053>he's too new to know what vmax hand does
So ultima-teras will be the v-star equivalent mechanic in the latter half of this gen?
So is using a nest ball knowing you dont have any more basic cards in your deck against the rules irl?
>>54896070SwSh was a shit generation on console, why would i bother getting back into tcg for the worst games?
>>54896107If you previously searched your deck for nothing, shuffled it then played another nest to look through again and shuffle. Yes it's wasting time and a judge can call you out. Otherwise it's fine to just play it to discard as a thin against iono, just don't be a retard like tord and waste a minute on it pretending to look for nothing
>>54896128>SwSh was a shit generation on consolewho cares? i havent played a pokemon game since USUM, and the games have no bearing on what i like or play because i'm not retarded
It is literally impossible to build a deck that won’t brick 50% of the time. So-called “champions” are in reality just average people with average decks who happened to be luckier than everyone else on that day. There is absolutely zero skill involved in this fucking game.
>>54894458Yeah I was also thinking about using Valiant with it, but I don't have the cards for it.>>5489528240 damage on the Pokemon + 10 base damage from Punishing Kick + 40x4 amplifier + 30 damage from poison = 240
>>54895560May your enemies seethe in disbelief, based coin flipper.
>Klawf deck players still refuse to ever play PathLiterally why. It counters almost every single counter to the Klawf deck. The only one it doesn't stop is Pikachu Vmax.
Wish there was a way to make this work in current format with Luxury Cape.A 400 HP one prize poke that can hit for 200 sounds fun.
>>548972741. Klawf decks need the Town Store consistency and collapsed stadium more.2. Stick Path and pray is a strategy that barely works anymore, even less with a deck that doesn't have a full set of Judge in the list. Every major deck runs their own stadiums (Pokestop, Artazon, Magma Basin etc.) , and decks that get hurt by path hard will almost always run counters (Lost Vacuum fetchable with Arven, Worker, etc.)
>>54897274I like Town Store for consistency and don't really have room for two stadiums. But maybe you're right
>>54897581>Stick Path and pray is a strategy that barely works anymoreBullshit.
>>54897581>and prayMost of the time you just need the opponent to get stopped by Path for 1 turn and that's enough.
>>54897274What does Path do against Moon?
>>54897683Klawf decks can beat Moon without needing Path.
>>54897564Its a shame theres not really any good 1 prize stage 2. None of them do enough damage for the amount of time it takes to get them out and the amount of space they take up in the deck.They tried something with nidoking but anyone that plays zard knows how hard it is to get 2 stage 2s out making the deck horribly inconsistantIf your main attacker cant do at least 330 damage in 2 attacks it isnt good enough to compete in the current meta(unless your lost box). Just look at Garchomp ex
>>54897688Another issue that comes up though is Klawf decks need Radiant Sneasler turned on in order to get certain OHKOs. If you path a Chien Pao deck early for example, you won't be able to get the oneshot on a Pao through a double statused Electrode V or a grant boosted Klawf. Putting up Path early against charizard slows it down yes, but then you're also not gonna be getting 2 prize knockout momentum with Electrode V because they'll save evolving into Charizard ex til it's gone. Path is counter-intuitive against key matchups, the only thing it would be good against would be slowing Garde, but even then they draw so many cards a turn when set up it'll get easily removed by whatever counter they drew off of refinment for the turn.
>>54897728Klawf just sucks against Garde in general.
>>54897727At least Nidoking can take out Mew VMax and Garde EX in one hit thanks to being Dark.Fighting is so shitty. Even worse than Grass.Also my mistake, luxury cape will make it a 2 prize pokemon but still, 400 HP sounds cool in paper.
>>54897688>still can't play any of my old Expanded decks on this piece of shit a year after nuking TCGOWhy are they like this? What do they fear will happen if you have access to stuff like Professor's Letter and Sky Field?
What's the best deck I can make with only G regulation cards? (silver border)
>>54897846nothing. Why even limit yourself to just G? only E is rotating next year
>>54897846There's not enough good G trainer cards to make a good deck with.
>>54897743Yeah, Garde and Mew VMAX are the two I've never really found a good way to win with Klawf except praying they completely whiff their starting hand.
>>54897981I've seen some Klawf decks have an emergency Drapion V.But are there any other Dark types that can be put into this type of deck?
>>54898056Slowbro and Clodsire, but they're Stage 1s and need three energies to work. Alternatively, Sableye and Seviper.
>>54897981>match with Klawfaggot>Boss in their Bitch Bonnet to give me time to setup>take out Bitch Bonnet once powered up>Boss/CC any other Bitch Bonnets they play and take them out>bring in Iron Hands to clean upWorks every time. I’ve literally never lost to a Klawfaggot.
>>54898196>Spicy Curries youHeh, nothin' personnel.
>>54898091There's a surprising amount of Pokemon with the Venoshock attack
>>54898208>110 DamageNo offense taken.
>>54898264>110 Damage?You mean over 300, right?
>>54898196Most Klawf decks carry tons of Switch items. Boss stalling doesn't work.
>>54892638This with the Mantle is a direct counter to Moon right? Forces a trade by being immune to Gouging and the extra 100HP meaning it survives the other attack even with a Stadium up.
can someone make an updated version of this with fire dog, troonbot, and yogalord
>Be me, playing Alakazam EX>Opponent is using Electric with Miraidon, Raikou, Regielec, the works,>Opening hand is shit, only get Bidoof>Opponent goes full stop, sets up extremely quickly>Get curb stomped early on, opponent uses Iron Hands to drop to one prize, clears out my mew and radiant>He starts spamming the happy emote>Suddenly get my hands on mimikyu>Promptly snipe his Hands into 50%>Guy retreats and goes into raikou, trying to draw>I draw another mimikyu, play it>Faggot tries to escape rope me>LMAO>Opponent finally gets wise and tries to kill me with Flaffy>Sniped>Opponent keeps drawing cards in desperate bid, even uses Forest Seal and and Arceus vstar>MFW I realize he only ran one BO>MFW when his only non rule box was a single Mareep/FlaffyAnyway, dude got pissy and went AFK just to spite me. I realize my victory was more because my opponent was an idiot and maybe got unlucky with his final prize, but regardless, it was funny to run over a comp player with a shitty meme deck, especially with such a wide lead
>>54897751Yeah fighting definitely has it the worst right now not only in terms of support but also match up. Its super effective to electric and sometimes colourless however it is sometimes resisted by it... this is apearntly enough of a reason to make all psychic pokemon resist it even pokemon that dont resist fighting, rock or ground in the games. Fire is super effective against 2 types and nothing resists it and electric is literally in the same boat as fighting but nothing resists.All this despite fighting representing 3 types its almost like they have something against it
>>54899162resistances make zero sense, and its a forgotten mechanic.
>>54899162Its sadly also lacking a good boss. Despite getting a box legend and a couple of tera, nothing has really helped them much.
>>54882847Found a booster box of OG Team Rocket 1st edition booster packs from 2000. The box was open but still contained 20 sealed packs. Wat do.
retard
Is Escape Rope in any prebuilt decks? Need a couple of them but my locals don't have any. Might have to resort to ordering them online but half the time shit I order doesn't show up so I'm not keen on that idea.
>>54899476The Meowscarada and Quax Battle decks have 2 copies each.
>>54899489neat thanks
>level 15 on battlepass>gotten 3 packs off email>6 off twitch>STILL only pulled ONE ex so far>it was fuckin tapu kokowhy did all my luck get wasted on the garbage obsidian flames set when now there's a ton of good cards worth wanting
>>54899196Koraidon is relatively good acceleration and Ting Lu was kinda nice before, but the fact that it doesn't affect EX pokes at all made it horribly shitty in the long run.Wish it was better. Same as grass but at least grass hits hard on most dark pokes that are around.
>>54899573Yeah, Ting Lu not hitting EX reminds of when in Yu-gi-oh they release Meklords, the "synchro killers" at the tail end of when that mechanic was being supported. Very bad decision there.
>get matched with two opponents at the same time>have to restart the app>lose ladder pointsNice fucking game these slopes got here.
How is the meta these days? I want to start playing again but I can't find any up-to-date place to look for decks
>>54900157Read the OP
>>54900157The current meta is currently waiting for your opponent to finish their draw engine.
>>54900157big damage go boom
Whats the point of making de-evolution tm if big basics are already the best decks lmao, even the matches you theoretically do well against just add a couple stage 2s and you autolose those again. Really looking forward to another 5 months of the exact same decks that were also topping a year ago
>>54901280We're gonna need evolutions that ignore damage from basic pokemon again.
trust the god of tm
>>54898992

Is there any point to having Battle VIP pass in your deck if you dont put 4 of them?
>>54906571You put 1 in so you can feel lucky when you get it in your starting hand and unlucky when you get it for a prize
TCG Question- both players are on their last prize. Player one's pokemon (let's say Roaring Moon EX) attacks player two's pokemon, knocking it out, but also knocking itself out.What is the result?My intuition says when player one (the attacker) receives their prize due to knock out, that immediately ends the game, before player two has a chance to receive their prize. What say you 4chan?
>>54906994Both players take their prizes and the match goes into sudden death/tiebreaker. First to get a prize/win the game wins. I'm sure there's a video on YouTube that shows this, I've only seen it from people's fecesbook posts
>>549065711-2 is fine for arven/irida decks for the times you go 2nd. Sometimes you just lucksack them turn 1 anyway
Why do people run Arcanine and charizard? Arcanine seems bad anyways.>1st attack is okay for revenge kills but only AFTER getting hit>2nd attack discards fire energy, in a meta where roaring moon discards stadiums (aka that card that pulls fire energy from the discard pile)
>>54900157The meta is:>Start first or second>Oponent do all the crazy shit and get full bench , new hand and every card needed for crushing you in his 2nd turn>Get angry and close appEverytime
>>54908223Arcanine ex is bad. if you're seeing someone play it with charizard ex its because they're trying to make a bad card work with a good one.
>>54908223Might just be because its a starter deck, and with Obsidian Flames pass over, people just just it to fill up extra ex slots. I don't truly know, its hard to say.
Why do y’all cry so much about Lost Box when pic related exists?
if klefki kept lost box in check lost box wouldnt be the best deck in the format for almost 2 years stupid
>>54902426THIS SUMMER
>>54908854>shuts down Comfey>shuts down Cramorant>shuts down Radiant Greninja>gives you time to setup before they fill their Lost ZoneIf you can’t beat a Lost Cuck with Klefki then it’s literally a skill issue.
over 12 months of tournament data prove you wrong stupid
I was going back and forth about going to register for Charlotte regionals and when I finally decide to bite the bullet Masters division is already full. Better luck next year I guess.
its probably a good thing, if you come to my state i'm killing you in real life
I'm on my way teehee
>roaring moon fails spectacularly, placing with a minimum of 90thHilarious
>>54908044glad i crafted the regular FA, still better he should've gotten one of feeding a sandwich to his dog, not just another sandwich making one
>>54908842Because pic related jobs to evolutions and any rulebox attacker.
>>54908842because this still exists until next rotationthis will be the biggest nerf for lostbox
Honestly, ive forgotten what lost box is even setting up for.I know the dumb bird that does 110, which is only a threat if i cant set up.What the hell is the other threat? Giratina? Is that it?
>>54906994Is a tie. You go to a tiebreak where the one that takes the first prize wins. I am guessing the game continues if there is another double KO there.
>>54909289Giratina, and Sableye, though the new Jirachi shits on it, so I'm guessing thats been dropped.
oh right this thing exists what an obscure card
bro just play 2 klefki, jirachi and manaphy and toedscruel so lost box can't beat you. you don't need bench spaces do you?
>>54908044I don’t understand what is happening here. >>54909289Sableye. If you don’t have a way to put the two they run in the lost zone, they’ll just shuffle it back with Super Rod. Non-Giratina builds are usually taking advantage of the fact that they may only have to knock out three of your Pokemon to win while you may have to knock out six of theirs. I think this is why non-Giratina is switching to running one copy of Radiant Zard so they don’t just shit themselves in front of a powered up Iron Hands.
I only have 2 lumineon v’s in my deck. Why the FUCK is always my only card on the first turn
>>54909260It has a terrible matchup against single prize decks and there was a ton of garde. Miraidon ended up being the better racing deck because it has some recovery in Flaafy, and Iron Hands helps shore up the single prize matchup.
>>54909333*activates avery*
>>54909260cool but that cancer deck will still plague my locals for weeks
>>54910075god I wish I could play against it every gamet. gardevoir player
Got spooked by someone with Dragonite V and another dragon 2-prizer in a lost zone deck. I hate how easy it is to just charge them with Mirage Gate
I need a new Rayquaza.
Solgaleo ex soon.

Roaring moon is great they said
>>54912000>someone stop meDo it. You know you want to...
>>54912021It is great though.... in lostbox.
The absolute state of modern control decks. Wasted half an hour of my life with this tryhard YouTube le meme deck of the week shit.

What are some ways I can easily damage my own Pokémon other than Gapejaw Bog?
>>54913587GardeSteelix
>>54913472You're trying to do too much. You're never going to find a consistent gameplan if most of your cards are 1-ofs.>>54913587There are a couple of pokemon that hit their own bench for 10-30, but it depends on what deck you're playing since something like Hisuian Zoroark isn't going to be running Steelix for example
>>54913587Magma Basin, Old Cemetery, Calamitous Snowy Mountain. Garde ex isn't really "easy" and Dodrio only damage itself.
>>54913594>>54913597>>54913610Thanks.
>>54913472For whatever reason I've never found anyone playing single strike Tsareena
Roaring moon is such a fucking joke lmao
>playing lugia and bming peopleman that's embarrassing
>>54913831Whats bming
>>54913825What sort of Roaring Moon deck plays Rattata
>>54913831lugia is garbage in this rotation bro, this isn't last rotation with amazing rares
What products should a new player get/decks they should build?
>>54913936>this rotationYou literally haven't lost anything, and nothing has been added that decisively beats you. Just because the deck isn't as popular doesn't mean it's shit
copium
>find a fun psychic deck to enjoy>cant enjoy it because ladder is swarmed with roaring moon f2p poorfagswhy is weakness such a terrible mechanic
>>54914031just play garde then and farm them
>>54913975>You literally haven't lost anythingIt lost lugia as the main attacker
>>54914163?Lugia still wipes out anything with 220. Snorlax weakens everything else to under 220.The only issue lugia has is its ability to get going, which was always an issue
THEY'RE IN
>>54914204>just attack twice bro
>>54914163>oh no i cant ohko literally anything in the format any turn i want :( i can only ohko most things :(shut the fuck up
>>54913833"Thumbs down'ing", I dunno.
>>54914228How is the one on the left shiny? How?
I've seen a few here mention this and a few attempts by fans outside this board to make a fan alternative to the online tcg game like showdown (which failed). So here goes my ask to this board>Would you all be interested in a online fan alternative to the official tcg game?>Would you all be interested if not only I make a online tcg alternative, but also include a mode where we can finally balance this piece of shit cards so almost every card becomes usable? This would include a submission based survey where we take feedback on what cards to buff and debuff I
>>54914419>balanceNo.I would welcome a banlist, however.
>>54914298It's clearly pastel pink instead of hot pink, god you boys are color blind.
>>54914425I’m saying there’s a normal mode with potential rule sets and optional bans and another completely separate mode where we balance all the cardsI’m not going to shove balance/revamped truly unlimited format down people’s throats but I do want to make it an option because the demand for old wotc cards and later sets from Nintendo and tpci is a thing
>>54914439Well then I wouldn't mind, but I also wouldn't use this "balanced" game mode. I guess first make sure enough people are interested.
>>54914419>Would you all be interested in a online fan alternative to the official tcg game?it's a waste of time>Would you all be interested if not only I make a online tcg alternativeno>but also include a mode where we can finally balance this piece of shit cards so almost every card becomes usable?fuck no
>banlistjust play a new game already, snowflake
>>54914526I'm taking suggestions. Fire away.
>>54914502>it's a waste of timeHello TPCi
>>54914539>Fire away.I think fire should stay
>>54914419>>Would you all be interested in a online fan alternative to the official tcg game?If I could actually play Expanded on it and people actually played it, yes.>but also include a mode where we can finally balance this piece of shit cards so almost every card becomes usable?Fuck off retard.
>>54914550It's a waste of time because you're ultimately going to get stomped out by TPCi's lawyers. If you want to waste the time go ahead, just know you're doing a largely fruitless endeavor for people who both do not want it and will not be appreciative>>54914566This is a good point, an active Expanded format would be good but PTCGL will eventually have the feature and maybe in a year or two the client won't also suck dick
>>54914419There already are alternatives and nobody uses them. Wouldn’t trust the general public to balance shit either.
Casual that hasn't played in years looking for a kid's first deck. They discontinued trainer kits, right? Do they still do theme decks? If so, what are the best right now for a newcomer?
>>54894528anon just buy the card what the hell are you doing
>>54915079Saw the Battle Academy 3 deck set which seems to have replaced the trainer kit niche unlike the My First Battle kits. Should be straight forward decks so works for me
>>54915079You dont need a kids first deck. Play pokemon live and learn how to play again, and then you can go out and buy a level 3 deck (someone remind me of the name of them). Its not a hard game, tard
>>54915224Remembered. League battle decks are close to meta once you change them around a bit. You can also buy csrds from tcgplayer
>>54882847Never played TCG but I bought a Paradox Box and used all 36 codes, what good starting deck can I make?Or what is a good starting deck from other expansionsThx
>>54915456Roaring Moon deck.Miraidon Deck
>Play Roaring Moon deck>Always getting shitty hands and loseNice meta bro
Its dumb that live wont let you use cards that are currently in other decks.
>>54914228UNITED CHADS WE CAN'T STOP WINNING.
Can we all agree Paradox Rift is one of the best sets to be released? I've never seen so many different viable strats.
>>54915860What
>>54915913I'm more than happy that Tsareena is actually being played and Klawf is meta-ish. It's actually nice to see variations of decks being played.
>>54915913Mew still shits on a lot of them. Give it a few months and we'll be down to only a few actually good decks.
>>54915913the rogue decks are fun but thats it -- theyre still rogue at the end of the day. Shit like LZB and garde still shit on every one of them and the rest of the cards are bulk tier.
>>54883055I'll give u code, but I don't have disc. Post ur normie pokemon Instagram. Also just beat a wugtrio player by not playing. He conceded
>>54915913I been playing arcanine and other deck is mew or charzard. Not playing roaring normie noob deck. Legit I want to try nidoking deck or the big crow pokemon
these cowards really need to print better looking energy

>>54917222>cum stain
>>54917222>Looking for 1 (one) holo water energy for my IRL deck>See holo energy for fire, lighting, and fighting energy from Power Keeper, Holon Phantoms, and Emerald>Find a shiny Water energy>It's Call of LegendsNice
>Ability: Dazzling Light>As long as this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, attacks used by your opponent’s Active Pokémon cost [C] more.>[P] Psy Ball: 30+ damage. This attack does 30 more damage for each Energy attached to both Active Pokémon.Seems viable.
>>54917515>As long as this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, attacks used by your opponent’s Active Pokémon cost [C] more.*laughs in Gardevoir/Baxcalibur*
>>54917515Actually after thinking about it, +30 multiplier is pretty bad with big basic Pokemon having 230 HP huh
Current streak of no Battle VIP on turn 1 and my opponent gets theirs: 47.
Current streak of playing a deck with 30+ items and Poke Stop discarding nothing but Pokemon and Supporters: 19. Last two times in a row discarded Boss, Arven and Iono in that order.
>>54917515>lightning psychic yet again so Xatu can't get any variance of attackersHe'll be stuck to Mewtwo and Iron Hands forever just to shill Gardevoir.
>>54917515tpci when a grass mon gets printed so they have to give it the most retarded restrictions ever to avoid it ever reaching more than 180 damage
Anyone knows some cheap and fun decks for Expanded who could still snatch some wins?I don't know anything about the game, just played some pre-releases but my lgs is doing an expanded tournament so I'd like to see what it's like. Really liked the United wings deck I played during one of the pre-release, so any deck where you spend half your turn just draw/discarding is a plus.
>>54918123Madparty
>>54917515I was going to say this could be a nice counter for dark types in Garde decks, but then remembered that GardEX can only attach to psychic.Tera pokes in the TCG are such a retarded mechanic.
>>54917515>Ability work in the active >give a shitass attackwhatweretheythinking
is the future booster energy capsule supposed to work only once per turn, or is it bugged in the game? I'm using it in my Iron Valiant deck and only one can retreat for free per turn, the next one has regular retreat costs despite the tool being attached
>>54919158retreating seems to be bugged in general, Iron Valiant also can't be retreated with a double energy attached to it, this game is a buggy shit show kek
Best new card of the set, which isn't a high bar to clear>KO miraidon ex, raikou V, cramorant, genesect V, rad zard for free>Water shuriken for free
>>54917250>Each booster pack will also come with a guaranteed Pokemon ex.That's not gonna be a thing when it comes state side, is it?
>>54919158You can only retreat once per turn with capsule or without it senpai. Capsule only reduces the cost to 0 but you still use your turn retreat
>>54919403damn all my life I had no idea about this rule
>>54919296Your opponent picks the attackMiraidon will make you use flaffys attackLost box will make you use sableye's which will fail since you don't have 10 in the lost zoneIt's only good vs mew but if they run meloetta you're cucked
>>54919516Wow, I misread the card the whole time since its reveal. I though it said 'active pokemon' and not 'any pokemon'.The card is unplayable.>It's only good vs mew but if they run meloetta you're cuckedMew picks cross fusion strike (which fails) or energy mix.
