poison fang also has 50 bp

fading stratus
#

poison fang also doesnt have another secondary eff

kind vortex
#

whether that same percentage is balanced on an 80 bp move is debatable

#

i don't mind it too much but others might

hasty anchor
#

Righto

kind vortex
#

even 30% is pretty good as far as these go

last musk
#

Depends entirely on the stat spread of the regional greninja tbh

fading stratus
#

make the move's accuracy 80 clearly

hasty anchor
#

Man, making custom moves and giving all these considerations is harder than I thought.

kind vortex
#

ah yes, guninja

hasty anchor
#

And yeah, I feel accuracy is a bit of a cop-out on a lot of these

kind vortex
#

which is why i tend to ignore random people on the internet when they start going on about game freak's balancing decisions

#

like sure, they've done some questionable shit

#

but i've seen all sorts of fan stuff that's just bad

hasty anchor
#

There's all kinds of factors in spot, yeah. I definitely trust game devs with a good few games under their belt than I trust myself, who doesn't even know anything about some of the process in making mechanics work

kind vortex
#

anyway, re:venom cutter i'm okay with it being a bit more powerful than poison fang and having those effects, but distribution should be extremely limited in kind

hasty anchor
#

But I still try my best to give it a go and see how well I can make something work.

kind vortex
#

like don't let random sharpness mons get it for example

#

keep it unique to your greninja

hasty anchor
#

Yeah, it's definitely not going on anything else, and Greninja isn't gonna have Sharpness

#

We're not having another Hisuian Samurott situation

fading stratus
#

I'd be fine with it being exclusive move if it didnt have another secondary eff tbh

#

like reduce spa atk is still pretty strong

#

as a secondary eff

kind vortex
#

the other effect is conditional tbf

hasty anchor
#

It's kinda like Infernal Parade, in a way

kind vortex
#

i'd probably limit it to the mon being poisoned tho

hasty anchor
#

Righto

kind vortex
#

doesn't make flavor sense for it to work on paralyzed mons or whatever

spice rivet
last musk
#

Ah hell the name of the move was meant to be pinning strike

#

Can y'all let me know what you think of this?

spice rivet
#

This damn Ralts took so much time and effort

#

But finally, done my Shalpha Megas

hasty anchor
# last musk

Pretty cool. I like the idea, given there are species of wasp that don't fly.

spice rivet
#

Also, some random accidental shinies

last musk
fading stratus
#

this is like the third time this week I've seen regional beedrill

#

why are people so obsessed with making a beedrill regional

#

also make the ability as "the pokemon's moves ignore typing and abilities" clearly

#

so you can poison jab steel types too

Yes 💀

Then again, I got one of mine just running around, I happens to auto battle and rat it out KEKW

I'm not sure if it's a crab or a frog symph

fading stratus

Nerf perfection, the whole balance became off

#

What part of Mamo did they nerfed anyway???

Ice Fang even shorter range??? EQ stun duration shorten???

I knew I felt their hat look different, on top of why these two are brought up recently somewhere

Behold, Pinkish Shiny Mimikyu

Cute color

pseudo goblet

Its extra special because this aint its normal shiny color

Yeah isn't Mimikyu meant to be monochrome?

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

when are we getting a regional mimikyu which is wearing the skin of incineroar

#

over pikachu

Incineroar isn't popular enough

Looks like they just love the ‘game’, especially shinies

They look like muppets

well to be honest it's probably the one that fits him the most

#

Chikorita is uhh...Chikorita
i prolly won't be able to take any protag seriously with Chikorita as his starter KEKW

#

while Feraligatr looks more menacing so fits Silver more

Oh hello, I didn’t expect your parent allow you to visit Southeast asia this soon

Feels like App store went drunk and handed me back two apps I deleted in the past along with Pocket

#

I mean, compare to apps Beyblade and Skylander, Pokemon actually cares about this piece of land I live in, weirdos

polar osprey
#

uuuuhhhh

#

I think I just won the lottery guys

#

@sonic inlet there's no way this is normal right?

last musk

"it has come to our attention that you have a positive association with the Pocket monster commonly designated as "Mewtwo"

tacit sphinx

#

You mean, how many pokemon mobile apps in total?

#

Even Shuffle?

hasty anchor
#

Argh what a time for my phone to just, give up

pseudo goblet
#

It broke or something?

hasty anchor
#

Yep

#

Or, it's getting very close to doing that at any rate

#

Thing nearly burnt my hand when I held it last time

long stone
#

What's the gotal size of pocket

last musk
#

About a single GB

hasty anchor
#

Alright on the topic of cards

Favorite artist is Yuka Morii

#

Just, love the claymation style they do

sonic inlet

Congrats

#

That's a 0.040% chance

normal cave

Wezl and my fave pika

done pulling for now but those are the full arts i've gotten (the bulba is from wonder pick)

#

8644977997606284 if anyone wants to add me

sonic inlet
#

Well pikachu is the best deck in the game so that's pretty damn good

pseudo goblet
#

Yo wtf Mimikyu is cute af

sonic inlet
#

Is it that white blob

pseudo goblet
#

Its just a tar slime

sonic inlet
#

Ah

#

It is cute yeah

pseudo goblet
#

Idk why the word tar came to mind but it works

sonic inlet
#

So the last mystery now is what's the rest of digglet's body

pseudo goblet
#

@mighty storm @fading stratus

#

Suddenly the neck snap makes sense, Mimikyu is just balancing the head on its head

#

Pretty sure we got the Magnezone ride in anime

cunning shard

tbh tried the new pokemon thing a bit needs more trainer and support card badly

daring pine

so what is TCG pocket

#

like card pool wise

golden lance
golden lance
daring pine
#

does it play like current format

#

or like duel links made up format

kind vortex
#

20 card deck, energy is attached from a zone instead of being cards in the deck, bench is 3 pokemon, prize cards aren't a thing (you score points for ko's)

#

it's basically a condensed version of the full thing, like duel links, yes

define "screwed"

Imagine he post a pic of a card with screws in them

I got the cool mewtwo art and then have just been packing nada

I'm just gonna play Donkticuno I guess

this is where I'm at with rares rn

I'm at like level 6

normal cave
golden lance
#

Why does everyone have the cool mewtwo art except me KEKW

long stone
#

Btw hows the game

#

Is it fun

golden lance
#

Depends on what you're looking for

#

Since the battles are very unga bunga

#

But the collecting aspect is pretty fun

outer eagle
#

sounds like classic pokemon to me

golden lance
#

I mean

#

The current power level is lower than literally base set format from 1999

outer eagle
#

i mean the video game KEKW

#

i don't play ptcg to comment on

golden lance
#

Base set format is the gbc game format, ftr

outer eagle
#

why does he look like he just remembered he left the oven on

normal cave
#

He's hauling ass

#

That's him escaping from cinabar island

#

Now I just need to wait for trades to unlock so I can get my second articuno

vagrant steppe
#

I'd rather it start at super low power than have the 350 HP 3 prize card insane shit the game has now

normal cave
#

Peak art fluff

vagrant steppe
#

I like the vibe of the game so far

#

Hope they add like ranked and shit lol

signal raptor
#

idk what deck to make honestly

sonic inlet
signal raptor
#

I feel like I don't have enough coherent cards to do anything with rn

sonic inlet
#

Plus trades

#

Fire is the cheapest deck

mighty storm
#

ooh wanna see some of the rare stuff I got?

polar osprey
vagrant steppe
#

I've got one Pikachu EX

polar osprey
#

people are gonna think I'm whaling now

vagrant steppe
#

Is that enough to make the deck?

polar osprey
#

no

vagrant steppe
#

I can do Articuno ex ftk ig

mighty storm
polar osprey
#

you can get away with 1 zapdos

#

Idk if I would invest on pika tho

mighty storm
#

the charizard was very early into packs to

polar osprey
#

it's only the best deck rn bcs it's abusing the fact that the game doesn't have great or ultra balls to get to mons beyond basic

mighty storm
#

I even have a second copy of the EX for playset purposes

polar osprey
#

and we are probably not gonna get a ranked mode until the next pack in 6 weeks most according to the leaks

vagrant steppe
#

Yeah, I just don't have enough good cards to build anything crazy rn

polar osprey
#

which is a mini pack containing staples

#

most likely including great and/or ultra balls

#

which would make pika tank and probably cement zard as the deck to beat

#

which is in line with it being the single most expensive deck to make rn

mighty storm
#

4095808254171946 friend code if anyone wants to add me

vagrant steppe
polar osprey
#

Ig starmie is also up there

vagrant steppe
#

This is all I've got for "rare" stuff

polar osprey
#

need 2 starmie and 2 artie ex

#

I got giga lucky

#

but still can't build mewtwo

mighty storm
#

Im also building aggro starmie

polar osprey
#

bcs I'm missing fucking kirlia

#

I literally have every single mewtwo ex rarity

#

2 arti exs at full art

#

2 gardevoirs

#

a pika ex

#

a full art sabrina

#

but I'm missing a fucking kirlia

#

to complete this shit

#

the game is probably gonna improve how you get lower rarity cards after they add a ladder

#

or die really fast if they keep this model

pseudo goblet
#

Cards I pulled so far

mighty storm
#

I have everything but the ones with blue lines

#

saving pack points for the mistys

swift jasper
#

join me

polar osprey
#

misty is literally what makes water piles work

#

it's the one thing you can't budget

pseudo goblet
polar osprey
#

but yeah rn the game is just a toilet game

pseudo goblet
#

2371879599932297 me friend code btw

mighty storm
#

the wiggly!

#

off wonderpick

mighty storm
pseudo goblet
#

Which one? Lol

sonic inlet
sonic inlet
polar osprey
#

you would think right

#

I can only buy one

sonic inlet
#

Ouch

#

Time to speedrun solo mode ig

polar osprey
#

not worried until we get ranked

#

Idt I'm gonna even use any of my points yet

vagrant steppe
#

Yeah I guess my goal is also to spam solo for now

polar osprey
#

just gonna keep making my collection bigger

golden lance
#

I have half of a mewtwo ex list

sonic inlet
#

Casual is funny rn, one game I face a child playing charizard without any moltres and the other I face fully built pikachu decks

polar osprey
#

sabrina is like the best card in the game so far from what I'm seeing

sonic inlet
#

I hate the mewtwo deck honestly, it just dies if it can't find all ralts, kirlia, gardevoir and mewtwo right away

polar osprey
#

forcing a bench early game can lead to some absurd snowballs

sonic inlet
#

Sabrine is broken yes

golden lance
#

This looks ok, right?

sonic inlet
#

Misty is also really good

golden lance
#

I litetally dont have anything else

polar osprey
#

yeah but misty is water only

#

wtf is that

sonic inlet
#

For generic cards sabrina beats everything

#

And then there's giovanni KEKW

golden lance
#

The best thing i can build from my collection

polar osprey
#

giovanni is so ass

#

why are people even on it

#

it's only good if you have type advantage

sonic inlet
#

+10 damage is broken, trust

sonic inlet
golden lance
#

It really is plus power without everything that made plus power good

pseudo goblet
#

Fuck it, spending my hourglass

polar osprey
#

now that I burned through all the beginner hourglass + more I'm just saving it to top off to get the 2 daily packs

#

again not in a hurry

sonic inlet
polar osprey
#

mewtwo is inconsistent as fuck

#

bcs the game has no balls to get to garde

sonic inlet
#

Yeah I hate it

polar osprey
#

you NEED 2 garde

#

otherwise it's just unplayable

#

you can even get away with ex mewtwo

sonic inlet
#

You don't get gardevoir in 2 turns you die to yourself

polar osprey
#

but you absolutely need 2 garde

pseudo goblet
#

Interesting, got Bolt’s favorite

sonic inlet
#

Bc mewtwo is hitting for 50 damage for all of those turns

golden lance
#

Lemme try seeing what i have for venu

sonic inlet
#

Meanwhile the opponent has a pikachu doing 90 damage

#

Venusaur wants liligant

polar osprey
#

mewtwo is probably gonna be really good in the future

#

when we get more balls

#

it and zard and probably the decks that are gonna age the best

sonic inlet
#

Definitely

#

Blastoise is also pretty nice

polar osprey
#

yeah

sonic inlet
#

But it's a stage 2

polar osprey
#

water pile is nice

#

pika is gonna age like shit calling it now

pseudo goblet
#

OOOHOHO

polar osprey
#

it's basically just abusing the other decks being inconsistent as fuck

golden lance
#

How does this look?

polar osprey
#

you need 2 of your stage 3s

golden lance
#

Yea so uhh

polar osprey
#

but that works

golden lance
#

About that

sonic inlet
polar osprey
#

yeah focus on exe

golden lance
#

I literally dont have a single evolution mon i have 2 copies of

polar osprey
#

you get it for free if you start with zard as your pack

mighty storm
#

which site you getting these from?

golden lance
#

I dont have eggy either

sonic inlet
#

Exe can get up to 80 with just 1 energy which is nice

polar osprey
#

you started with the wrong pack kid

golden lance
#

Damn that's crazy

polar osprey
#

btw focus only on 1 pack

sonic inlet
polar osprey
#

pick either of the 3 and focus only on that

golden lance
#

I am, pulling from mewtwo rn

polar osprey
#

did you see my mewtwo pulls?

#

the deck chose me

golden lance
#

I did

#

Yes

mighty storm
sonic inlet
#

Needle became the mewtwo andy

golden lance
#

And as usual i have the worst luck imaginable

polar osprey
#

and even then choccy

#

I still can't build it

sonic inlet
golden lance
#

Whiffed every single wonder pick

polar osprey
#

Idt you are expected to have a fully functional deck during the first week

golden lance
#

Even the ones that had 2 ex in one pack

polar osprey
#

without rerolling like crazy

#

that's why we have the loaners

sonic inlet
#

Yeah I needed a couple weeks to have a workable deck

golden lance
#

Who cares about not having a deck, ranked isnt a thing anyway

sonic inlet
#

Just had a fighting slop at the start

polar osprey
#

maybe you can with the gold pass but it seems like really bad value even for 10 bucks a month

#

a fucking extra pack a day

#

better off just buying gold directly

sonic inlet
#

You get decks naturally

#

It's not hard

polar osprey
#

the garde pack is what 20 bucks for 2 multis + all the cosmetics?

sonic inlet
#

Especially if you get lucky with wonder pulls

normal cave
#

Just play articuno ex, 2 misty, and 17 random trainer cards

polar osprey
#

bro tidal

normal cave
polar osprey
#

I got like

#

8 nices today

#

when I woke up

#

from all the people wonder pulling from my God pack

sonic inlet
golden lance
#

Must be nice pensivecowboybread

polar osprey
#

that shit is basically a guaranteed mewtwo ex

#

3/5

sonic inlet
#

Also man, dragonite needs support bad

polar osprey
#

or maybe it's from people pulling on my other mewtwo ex pack

sonic inlet
#

He's so jank rn

polar osprey
#

yes I have like

#

7 mewtwo exes

#

every rarity of it

#

I hope they let us dust cards in the future

sonic inlet
#

Needs both electric and water energy and it's a stage 2

golden lance
#

I hope the game gets special energy later on

sonic inlet
#

It should

golden lance
#

Something like dce, rainbow, etc

#

Btw is it just me or is second better than first

polar osprey
#

2 energy fucking sucks rn

#

it's something they are gonna have to fix

pseudo goblet
#

Something important??

polar osprey
#

dragonite was supposed to be really good

#

but the 50/50s with no guarantee make it awful

sonic inlet
polar osprey
#

bcs sometimes you can roll all electric or all water

sonic inlet
#

Normal moltres sucks ass

polar osprey
#

the system needs some sort of pity

sonic inlet
#

Normal charizard is... ok

polar osprey
#

of multi energy decks are never gonna be viable

golden lance
#

I thought it just alternated

sonic inlet
#

Up to 33% for each energy

polar osprey
#

NOPE

#

you can get like

sonic inlet
#

Bc you can select up to 3

polar osprey
#

7 water energies in a row with dragonite

#

saw it happening live on stream

#

dude was livid

#

alternating energies would be much better yes

sonic inlet
#

It's just so ass playing the card

polar osprey
#

and add another layer of skill to multi energy decks

#

planning your plays according to when the energies are gonna rotate

golden lance
#

Anyway they should add zoroark gx to the game

#

1:1

polar osprey
#

as opposing to hoping to win the 50/50 every turn

sonic inlet
#

We only have kanto EX mons so far

polar osprey
#

they should add iron thorns 1:1 to the game

sonic inlet
#

We're going by chronological order

polar osprey
#

or no balls

#

the theme of this first pack is Kanto legends

sonic inlet
#

Yeah we'll get Johto next

#

After the support mini pack

polar osprey
#

the 4 meta decks are all legendary bird or mewtwo + shit

vagrant steppe
#

They should put welder in this

sonic inlet
#

No mew on release is a crime

golden lance
#

Hope we get gy interaction soon

polar osprey
#

we have a section for promo cards

#

mew is historically a promo and paid only in pokemon games

#

I expect it to be bundle only when it comes out

sonic inlet
golden lance
#

Btw

#

The shop tickets thingy

#

What's the best use for them?

polar osprey
#

use it to get the item cards first

mighty storm
#

The baby zapdos is so bad ursiidCry

sonic inlet
#

Don't you like to blow up your own guys

golden lance
#

Ngl the lack of consistency tools kinda sucks

sonic inlet
#

Also yeah get 2 of each item card in the shop and then use the rest on hourglasses

#

Or the cosmetic ig

sonic inlet
#

Put pikachu in the lead, slap 3 random eletric types in the bench and start blasting

polar osprey
#

you put the opponent on a clock with their shitty bricky pile

#

if they don't get going in 4 turns they lose

#

but rumors is professor birch is coming in this next mini which is gonna be Johto focused

#

and the great ball

golden lance
#

You think theyll eventually do the thing every online only tcg does and errata cards?

polar osprey
#

they are gonna nerf those ofc

#

but those are huge consistency tools

#

if I had to guess Birch is just gonna be graceful charity

#

to not be straight up better oak

#

draw 2 discard 1

polar osprey
#

then the great ball is gonna be excavate 3-4

polar osprey
mighty storm
polar osprey
#

the system is exactly like dl choccy

#

mini then main

mighty storm
#

cuz I was speculating on set 2 being a Johto focus

golden lance
#

Huh

#

Neat

polar osprey
#

except instead of 4 weeks

#

it's 6

polar osprey
#

so you have more time to save resources

sonic inlet
#

Oh nvm thought birch supported johto mons

#

Bitch IRL is card of sanctity for you only

#

Well

polar osprey
#

I hope we get elm

sonic inlet
#

Anime card sanctity lmao

polar osprey
#

elm would be straight up the best card in the game

sonic inlet
#

Birch might let us draw until we have like 3 in hand

polar osprey
#

I just want a great ball

#

even if it only lets me look at the top 3 or something

#

that's already a huge improvement

sonic inlet
#

Better than what we have now

#

With just oak or pokeball

golden lance
#

Lowkey

#

Pidgeot kinda broken

#

Literally sabrina every turn

polar osprey
#

yes but 3 evo

#

gengar is also broken

normal cave
#

Whiffed my first misty, topdecked another one EZ

#

Latios donk but shitty baybeeeeee

sonic inlet
#

Articuno is so annoying lol

#

Especially when you can't evolve all your basic mons so they die to all the blizzards

slim birch
outer eagle
#

it being cute won't stop it from taking your soul however

polar osprey
#

wait

#

I thought linking your nintendo account gave you 12 hourglasses

#

not 120

#

wtfffff

#

I had 10 free pulls I just wasn't getting out of laziness

#

if I don't get kirlia now I'm malding

#

here we go

#

another fucking mewtwo ex

#

I'm gonna build a throne out of mewtwo exes

#

ANOTHER MEWTWO EX

#

STOP GIVING ME MEWTWO EX

#

no kirlia

#

fuck off

mighty storm
polar osprey
#

YEP

#

if you complete all the advanced missions you get 120

#

I thought it was 12

#

so I was procrastinating like hell

#

FINALLy

#

KIRLIA

mighty storm

pseudo goblet

#

Doodlez??

golden lance

polar osprey
hasty anchor
sonic inlet
#

Tbf in this game we do want to go 2nd KEKW

polar osprey
#

until we start getting the more broken supports

sonic inlet
#

Yeah

vagrant steppe
#

Also ayy got a Zapdos EX

It's an energy arms race rn

polar osprey
#

the first deck to have battery mons is gonna be tier 0

#

calling it now

golden lance
#

Naganadel my beloved

polar osprey
#

I got 9 fucking mewtwo exes

#

and can't get a dragonite

golden lance
#

Wanna trade?

polar osprey
#

1 more mewtwo ex and I'm gonna do a fucking giveaway when we get trading

#

I should start pulling on the zard pack even tho I'm still missing a kirlia at this point methinks

sonic inlet
#

Just pull in the zard pack and buy the 2nd kirlia

polar osprey
#

ye

sonic inlet
#

It's 70 points, not hard to get early on

normal cave
#

Got my second Articuno pogofgreed

polar osprey
#

now complete all the missions

#

I'm still on advanced bcs I'm doing that

#

it's funny trying to win with barely functioning decks

last musk
#

All you get are shop tokens that then dry up of packs before you start doing the bonus missions and then all that’s left is like

#

Wonder pick tickets

#

Mid items and supports

polar osprey
#

it's not about it being worth it

last musk
#

Fair

#

The final set requires you to use the type disadvantage only

normal cave
#

Red card and potion broken FeelsSadcatMan

golden lance
#

So the game keeps track of what language your cards are

#

Will probably carry over from trading

normal cave
#

Ye

#

I got a spanish card from wonder picking from you

#

Or was it portuguese? It doesn't say what language...

polar osprey
#

ok that's actually insanely cool

normal cave
#

Shame I can't give ny'all hebrew cards nukgar

#

Maybe different language cards will trade for more value? Honestly excited for upcoming trading.

#

Also I got this off the first Charizard pack I opened.

polar osprey
#

you are guaranteed an ex or above card on your first pack

normal cave
#

Oooooh

polar osprey
#

still nice you got one of the best ones

normal cave
#

Til, v cool

hasty anchor
#

Amusingly this Charizard isn't as absurd as most Charizard cards tend to be

#

Still does the whole deal with throwing out energy, but it doesn't completely drain all that energy just to do something

normal cave
#

The most important thing about it is that it's a charizard and an ex

#

Makes it top tier trade bait

#

The fact that it's a good card also helps a lot

sonic inlet
polar osprey
#

I wouldn't trade that tho

polar osprey
#

zard is the deck with the most potential as the game gets more support

normal cave
#

Ah

sonic inlet
#

I got a spanish greninja the other day

#

And when I checked it it was english

normal cave
#

Aight, I can keep zard

#

200 damage attack go brr

#

Also helps that mewtwo can't one-shot it even with giovanni

#

Mewtwo's been absolutely dumpstering my Articuno. They always have Mewtwo Gardevoir on curve plus another beater nukgar

sonic inlet
#

Only other charizards can one shot it

#

and giovanni is awful so yeah can't help much

normal cave
#

Yeah giovanni is... not great

polar osprey
#

he is dogshit

#

people are just playing him as filler

#

mewtwo decks should just be on jinx or whatever instead

normal cave
#

Supports kinda feel mid outside of misty

#

Oak is nice ig

polar osprey
#

sabrina is broken as fuck

#

best card in the game rn

#

forcing benchs is how you steamroll

normal cave
#

Hmm

#

I only have one

#

It's been fine so far

polar osprey
#

I wouldn't craft it Idt

#

it's not mandatory for any deck to work

#

just keep pulling

normal cave
#

I mean, my deck is all about the filler supports and items

#

I run fucking pokedex

sonic inlet
polar osprey
#

just some good basic really

sonic inlet
#

Too bad it's tiny, but it's F2P

polar osprey
#

that's why I said whatever

sonic inlet
#

Meowth also helps in drawing into gardevoir/kirlia ASAP

polar osprey
#

mewtwo can get giga fucked in early game push

sonic inlet
#

Mewtwo really just dies if it doesn't see both garde and mewtwo in 3 turns

sonic inlet
polar osprey
sonic inlet
#

You need gardevoir to fuel him

normal cave
#

I have yet to face a mewtwo with no t3 garde+mewtwo

sonic inlet
#

Yeah it's super inconsistent

normal cave
#

More consistent than my deck KEKW

sonic inlet
#

I just play water slop/pikachu with 1 copy rn

normal cave
#

I'm on articuno donk

golden lance
#

Oh yea need

#

Share your friend code

#

I want a second mewtwo ex KEKW

sonic inlet
#

Articuno golduck and frosmoth

#

Soon greninja over either of the two

polar osprey
#

I pulled like

#

30 packs

sonic inlet
#

But I can't get frogadier

polar osprey
#

since I got the super pack

#

it's out of my rotation by now

normal cave
golden lance
#

Share it anyway

normal cave
sonic inlet
#

Greninja is great, snipes the mons in the back

normal cave
#

Btw

#

Why do none of ny'all make more binders?

golden lance
#

I made 4

normal cave
#

I can't send you likes if you don't make more binders

golden lance
#

I just dont have stuff to flex

normal cave
golden lance
#

Also do likes apply per binder?

normal cave
#

Meme binders are good too

golden lance
#

I saw that it was shared for all of them

#

Oh yea btw

#

Pulled a cuno ex peepoHappy

polar osprey
#

articuno ex cheese is pretty solid and cheap

#

the starmie variant is just better tho

#

but needs 4 exes

golden lance
#

No misty tho

#

For some reason my trainer pulls are non existant

#

2 giovanni 1 koga 0 of everything else

polar osprey
#

I have a full art koga with nothing to use it with

#

at least it unlocked the dark rental deck

#

bcs I have fuck all for darks for the missions

normal cave
#

Build weezing stall

golden lance
#

Oh they're just 70 each

#

Cheap

normal cave
#

Ye, not too bad

polar osprey
#

btw that's bcs mewtwo has ass trainers

#

the good ones are in the other packs

golden lance
#

Ah

#

I see

normal cave
#

Mewtwo has some good mons

polar osprey
#

the best value pack overall is the zard one

golden lance
#

Yea shame i'm not pulling any of them

polar osprey
#

but I wanted to build psychic slop

normal cave
#

I wanted to build cuno donk

polar osprey
#

no I lied

#

I wanted to build dnite

golden lance
#

Cant even play dnite because i only have 1 nair

#

Shit sucks

polar osprey
#

but then the game gave me

#

literally

#

9 mewtwos ex

#

all the rarities

#

and not a single dnite

#

2 garde

golden lance
#

The game gave me 5 single prize gengars

normal cave
#

I pulled 2 dnite 2 tini and 1 dragonair

golden lance
#

My garde line is still 2-1-1

normal cave
#

Gonna have to craft nair

polar osprey
#

I had to craft kirlia

golden lance
#

Does pvp even give you anything?

polar osprey
#

I'm also spamming wonder picks with dnites

#

and nothing

#

the game REALLY doesn't want me to play dnite

golden lance
#

Bro istg wonder picks are rigged

polar osprey
#

I got 2 full art charmanders from them

#

so it's fine

#

got my 2nd sabrina finally

#

deck is almost complete

vagrant steppe
#

I got a Venusaur ex from one

#

Guess I can start building that deck if I want

golden lance
#

Got a second cuno ex

polar osprey
#

nice

#

now you can play cuno cheese

golden lance
#

2 misty 1 sabrina or other way around?

#

Can only craft 3 trainers

polar osprey
#

2 misty

#

misty is the reason water shit works

#

btw choccy

#

if you play articuno cheese play the red card

#

your opponent won't want to bench multiple mons so you will be able to consistently get value out of it

golden lance
#

Got it

polar osprey
#

mewtwo deck done

#

finally

#

fully optimized mewtwo deck in less than 24 hours and without any rerolls

#

gaming

#

@jovial cape behold the power of luck

vagrant steppe
#

How did you grind out that many packs

#

The solo challenge?

polar osprey
#

I didn't lmao

#

I just got super lucky

vagrant steppe
#

Must be nice

#

I'm still lacking Pikachus and Zapdoses

polar osprey
#

I got 3 mewtwo exes in 1 pack and from there it was easy

vagrant steppe
#

Or 1 more Articuno

polar osprey
#

I want dragonite and some other water stuff in the mewtwo pack

#

but I'm not touching it anymore

#

I'm getting those from trading

#

I already got 9 fucking mewtwo exes and 2 articunos it would just be a bad decision to keep going

golden lance
#

Alright used every single hourglass from the quest, shop, and solo battles

#

Still dont have a playset of anything other than cuno

warm sky
#

secret hidden nanu backstory found by leaks

polar osprey
#

bro people are spite scooping when they see the gold mewtwo

golden lance
#

Considering throwing myself off a volcano

polar osprey
#

sooooo many articunos

#

probably bcs it's the most budget deck

#

I barely see any red buttons tho

#

and it's so good into my mu

hasty anchor
#

I really thought discussion on this game would mostly be able collecting but turns out there's a lot of deckmaking and battles too.

mighty storm
#

The list I'm gonna run once I get the alien star fren and Misty

hasty anchor
#

Unfortunately can't join the fun with the sorry state of my phone

polar osprey
#

90 attack poke with 0 retreat cost is pretty insane

#

you are too reliant on misty resolving otherwise

polar osprey
#

you can play greininja instead of the borb tho

hasty anchor
#

Also loking how a lot of artworks in the TCG are used again for Pocket

last musk
#

Is the zapdos above the power plant from the tcg?

#

This one?

hasty anchor
#

Like this funny frog

mighty storm
#

Borb= Articuno

polar osprey
#

I thought by borb you meant blue orb lol

mighty storm
#

but starmie isnt blue KEKW (ok the shiny is)

golden lance
#

How does this look compared to regular cuno?

polar osprey
#

just play cuno no other mons

#

the game is rigged to always give you cuno then

#

that's an actual variant

mighty storm
#

btw does the johto leak suggest we will get Claire?

polar osprey
#

we don't know

golden lance
#

Needle

#

I resolved misty 11 times

#

0 heads

golden lance
#

I swear to fucking god

polar osprey
#

timeline until the new pack

#

we are getting a meowth event tomorrow

#

whatever that means

golden lance
#

Calling it rn

#

Its just bundles

#

Gold only

polar osprey
#

no we are getting actual battle events

mighty storm
#

cuz if we do get her, she could be direct gyarados/seadra/dragonite support

polar osprey
#

Idk if meowth is one of them

#

but we are getting md style events

#

and a ladder later this year

#

which is gonna be before the 2nd pack

hasty anchor
#

Oh wow, I thought Poké Ball was just gonna be the usual flip a coin, if successful, add basic to hand

#

Turns out it's... better? But also worse?

polar osprey
#

but meowth event doesn't sound like a battle one

hasty anchor
#

Like you don't got to flip a coin but the chosen basic is random

polar osprey
#

the mass outbreak one sounds like the battle event

#

judging by the name alone

mighty storm
polar osprey
#

I think the biggest thing they need to fix with the game

hasty anchor
#

Yep

mighty storm
#

and choice yeah

polar osprey
#

are the multi type decks

#

they are kinda ass rn outside of dragonite

hasty anchor
#

It's potent but nobody wants to chance it, hence why Ultra Ball is most commonly used instead in the actual TCG

mighty storm
#

where as pocket version always works, but its a random basic

polar osprey
#

which still loses to itself

#

thanks to how the energy works

#

Idk

#

the current pokeball

#

while having no ultra or great balls in the game

#

makes the game too early game and basic focused

#

just adding the great ball would already help most decks a lot

sonic inlet
#

@polar osprey Dkayed is already doing giveaways lmao

polar osprey
#

just nerf it

#

bcs excavating 7 in a 20 card deck is lol

golden lance
polar osprey
#

literally dragonite choccy

golden lance
#

Ik

polar osprey
#

they are probably gonna change it to one of each energy per turn

#

Ngl even being able choose would be fine

golden lance
#

But yea i pulled the second nair

#

What do i pair it with?

normal cave
#

Dnite is a funny deck

polar osprey
#

with the misty engine

golden lance
#

So, what i'm already doing?

#

Gotcha

cunning shard
#

If u don't wanna high roll with dnite u can also play kangakhan

#

Just wall until dnite is fueled

polar osprey
#

you can also play it with a koga snorlax engine

#

to stall

#

2 weezing 2 koffing 2 koga

#

the misty snom one wants to accelerate dnite and the koga one wants to poison stall until he is ready

#

frosmoth is more important than cuno

#

@sonic inlet he did it

#

@copper viper he did it

#

articuno should be ranked higher but dkayed is calling it 3 different decks when they are all articuno piles with different or no side engines

polar osprey
#

articuno with starmie, articuno with greininja and articuno with starmie and greininja are different decks bro trust

#

bro is calling articuno with starmie and blastoise a different deck also

#

amazing

cunning shard
#

Category misty gamba

polar osprey
#

4 different decks that are just articuno with different side mons

sonic inlet
#

My guy must really like articuno

#

To make so many categories

polar osprey
#

my opponent just got 6 heads with misty God is dead

normal cave
#

Rolled 0 on both mistys, dnite went full sniper mode

polar osprey
#

my opponent got all of your rolls

normal cave
#

GIVE THEM BAAAAAAACK

#

I NEED THEM

#

I'm really liking dnite/cuno

golden lance
#

I'm not

polar osprey
#

I have 3 cards in my fucking deck

#

no kirlia

golden lance
#

14 lightning energy in a row

#

Misty always flips tails

normal cave
polar osprey
#

meowth drew my entire fucking deck while my opponent was setting up an energy genki dama

#

no kirlia

normal cave
normal cave
#

It was turbo ass

golden lance
#

Yea nah bro i'm going back to ygo

#

I now remember the reason why i quit ptcg in the first place

polar osprey
#

I'm having a ton of fun

normal cave
#

I do like this game a lot

#

I'm most excited about the trading tho

polar osprey
#

the kirlias were literally the last 2 cards in my deck

#

insane

golden lance
#

I can accept whiffing the pick every single time despite it being a 40% chance to hit

#

I can accept having a worse collection than everyone else because my pack luck is that bad

#

But losing every game to a 1/8 chance is just miserable

polar osprey
#

full art meow let's gooo

#

my mewtwo deck is almost blinged out

#

people are probably thinking I'm a whale lmao

#

articuno again

#

but I opened ralts kirlia garde oak this time

#

oak guide me

#

MEWTWO

#

LETS Go

normal cave
#

Damn, my opponents always do that

sonic inlet
#

Crazy

polar osprey
#

I deserved it for getting hit by misty into 6 heads the other game

#

oh btw @golden lance dragonite muk stall is like the single worst mu for mewtwo so you can have fun with that

golden lance
#

Spyglass reveal misty misty wartortle into red card into scoop

#

Love to see it

polar osprey
#

you blastoise ex?

#

pog

#

that's probably the best version of misty gamba but you need 5 fucking exes for it

#

2 starmie 2 cuno 1 blastoise

sonic inlet
#

At least starmie is really good in any water pile

polar osprey
#

starmie is super good

#

I want it

#

it's part of the reason I'm spamming the zard pack now

#

90 poke dmg with no retreat cost for a stage 2 evo

sonic inlet
#

Free retreat cost on a guy with 90 damage with 2 energy cost

polar osprey
#

insanity

sonic inlet
#

Yeah

#

Stage 1, not even 2

polar osprey
#

cuno is probably the single best deck in the game for progression

last musk
#

My choice of Gamba is zapdos "either you die or I'm losing this match"

polar osprey
#

you start with just it then you can upgrade to greininja

#

then move onto the zard pack to get 2 starmies ex

#

then finally add the blastoise package

sonic inlet
#

I just have 2 arti 2 blastoise EX rn

#

I'll pivot to gren later

#

And starmie

mighty storm
#

starmie to hearing articuno is getting the credit of the deck

polar osprey
#

starmie toise is probably the best core for it

#

but I think by itself gren is better than blastoise

last musk
#

Do 90 damage with 2 energies with Pikachu ex? Nah, flip 4 coins and do zero damage because they're all tails for 3 energies

sonic inlet
#

I wished I had a single frogadier

#

2 gren 2 froakie

polar osprey
#

same lmao

#

but I'm just gunning for the starmie blastoise now

#

is blastoise also in the zard pack or am I gonna have to go to the pika pack after?

#

gonna have to tour all 3 packs for optimal misty gamba

polar osprey
#

fuck

sonic inlet
#

Water is just all over the place

polar osprey
#

yeah articuno really is the ultimate progression deck

#

mewtwo into zard into pika

#

each pack upgrades your power

golden lance
#

Faced against it

sonic inlet
mighty storm
#

the kanto starters are in the pack associated with the starter full art selection at beginning

polar osprey
#

isn't red card better than giovanni here?

#

people don't want to bench everything vs articuno

sonic inlet
#

Probably

#

Tbh anything is better than giovanni

polar osprey
#

it fucks me up when the opponent has it bcs I often go over 3 trying to build gardevoir

mighty storm
#

So bulbasaur mewtwo, squirtle pikachu, and charmander charizard

sonic inlet
#

Yeah

golden lance
#

Ok so, currently missing 1 mewtwo ex, 2 non ex mewtwo, 1 of each venu, 1 garde

#

Still worth to pull in the mewtwo pack yea?

polar osprey
#

the blastoise variant got top 16 in a 150 people tournament nice

polar osprey
#

if you want to build misty pile move onto the zard pack

sonic inlet
#

First coin tails on misty

#

Fuck

#

Oh it's against jigglypuff wtf

golden lance
#

I do

#

Mewtwo feels like the type of deck that will age insanely well

sonic inlet
#

And snorlax??

polar osprey
#

I think zard will age the best

last musk
#

Honestly the moltres zard gamba ain’t bad

sonic inlet
#

Zard is scary

golden lance
#

Zard suffers from stage 2 syndrome

#

Shit will get powercrept instantly
