He doesn’t look like a human in the Pokemon style
He looks like a humanoid robot or something

He looks inhuman, true, but that's part of what makes him cool. He's a secret subway demon that invites you into his labyrinth.

No qualms if you like his outfit but the way he is drawn just robs me the wrong way

...Man, that just makes it all the more painful knowing that the only ice-type move Weavile can learn (And can actually use well) is Ice Shard
At least it does learn all the good stuff, just not on its own
hasty anchor
Weavile's gonna outpace the shark-dragon and sock it in the throat anyways!
normal cave
Weavile's levelup learnset is shallow
hasty anchor
I imagine given it learns stuff like Icy Wind, they really were going for the Kamaitachi-imagery. But despite all that
No Razor Wind!
And it's straight-up called Kamaitachi in the JP language
normal cave
Razor wind is mega dook tho
hasty anchor
Though that's no big loss since Razor Wind is just straight up garbo. You can't just name a move that, and make it bad!
At least moves that take two moves to use are slowly getting better. Electro Shot and Meteor Beam boost Sp. Atk, which makes it more hurtful, and in spite of Skull Bash not being a thing in awhile it's got mega power behind it
I really wonder why you can't find Deoxys in the Space area. It would make a whole lot of sense.
Also, really? Collision Course? Right after Hoenn was threatened by a meteor big enough to wipe out the dinosaurs?

If it was a special ray I won since I had +6 spdef, but it was physical
Very close run, I think I could have won if reshi was just a liiiitle faster.

It's called Healing Wish
But really, a move that does cut your own HP in order to restore an ally's is an idea
Could make it like Wish in a way that it goes off the user's own HP, added to the target

Weird how we got a move called "Wish" which heals, and "Healing Wish" which knocks out the user just to heal something switching in

Turns out on average, Blueberry Academy's own Director has an average team level higher.
Meant to get around to posting this sooner, but Rogue happened
For comparison
I'm still bewildered on what exactly Spritomb's supposed to be doing here. The real way this thing got used was just to be cheeky about the whole "using items in battle" thing by using Embargo on whatever's in front of it, if memory serves
Also ended up checking Embargo, and it hasn't been a move you can use since VII. So, that explains it
Speaking of, was there like, any VGC or whatever use for Embargo? I really can't imagine disabling a single item worked out that well at all when Knock Off is a thing, and is perfectly usable now.
I also love how all of these mons have their hidden ability as far as Cyrano is concerned... except Samurott.

some cards definitely means no event cards and no cards from whatever the newest pack is
golden lance
We dont know
polar osprey
but people can cope
polar osprey
either that or you won't be able to trade down
and then they will use trading as an excuse to keep the game as stingy as possible
like ptcgo
which I honestly don't care about rarity
but if the format is this ass that's all the game will be
shiny card simulator
also the auto-battle is the worst one I have ever seen
I tried using it for this event it's completely idiot
btw the venu even ends today
golden lance
But yea they can do literally whatever they want with the game
Because its already top 1
polar osprey
yeah
it already made 50 million or some shit
the whales won't stop spending
I just hope they won't ruin live bcs of that
bcs if they don't back down on their latest update to add micro transactions I think the game might just die by the end of the year
placid junco
I really should play Klawf in TCG live while double turbo is still on standard
golden lance
I mean
Can the game even die tho?
People could just keep opening the 2 packs a day
And it stays like that
Pocket can probably just sustain itself on the pass money

Wait leaf card wtf
She doesn't have a card irl yet
😭
golden lance
@normal cave i figured it out
Blue reduces ALL damage by 10, not just to your active
It's a cuno counter
polar osprey
Can the game even die tho?
talking about live
after they killed coin farming for new players
sonic inlet
Huh, we're getting marshadow already
Looking at the new cards, ig I'll stick to starcuno
normal cave
Yeah idt the new cards change the meta
normal cave
Mewtwo and Blaine get a new toy each. That's about it.
golden lance
Vapo sounds funny
normal cave
Marshadow is cool with primeape ig
Also true, but it's still kinda mid.
normal cave
Vapo sounds funny
What is vapy gonna do tho. You still need to misty to win.
golden lance
Not good, but interesting
sonic inlet
Vaporeon would be cool if it didn't need you to play eevee
normal cave
Vapy doesn't help water slop, water slop is fine as is.
golden lance
What is vapy gonna do tho. You still need to misty to win.
Its good in a deck that doesnt exist yet
golden lance
As soon as we get more self bouncing options tho
polar osprey
Everything is turning into basic mon beatdown
aerodactil is the final nail in that coffin
golden lance
Btw chat what do you think of tauros?
sonic inlet
Green is slightly better x speed that locks you out of sabrina and oak
polar osprey
they gave us 0 acceleration tools and gave another card that punishes stage 1 and especially 2 decks
sonic inlet
And misty
normal cave
aerodactil is the final nail in that coffin
Aero is dook tho. Fossils not being guaranteed makes the deck hella inconsistent.
sonic inlet
Aerodactyl being the first floodgate in the game huh
sonic inlet
Btw chat what do you think of tauros?
Hmm didn’t read him, 1 sec
normal cave
The effect is strong, but like... you were winning vs stage 2 decks anyways
sonic inlet
The other fossils suck
polar osprey
it was really good in the basic beatdown deck of old
sonic inlet
3 stage essencially
golden lance
bcs of the flood effect
The others were demons in expanded
Because of maxie and archie
normal cave
Stopping evos is not as strong when evos are all that bad
golden lance
He thinks theyll powecreep pika
sonic inlet
Oh, tauros is fine
golden lance
normal cave
Yeah pika remains supreme. It got 2 more copies of X speed.
sonic inlet
Just sucks that it's 3 energy and no other attack
polar osprey
I just want the game to not be inconsistent as fuck
but apparently that's too much to ask
golden lance
Btw speaking of pika
polar osprey
give me a fucking great ball and rare candy
sonic inlet
I'm so mad that great balls aren't in the pack
golden lance
Do i play 1 giovanni?
sonic inlet
Eh
polar osprey
also blue is now officially the worst supporter
normal cave
Do i play 1 giovanni?
What are you hitting for 100?
polar osprey
bets on people spamming blue?
sonic inlet
also blue is now officially the worst supporter
Yeah he managed to beat giovanni
golden lance
How much hp starmie ex has?
sonic inlet
How much hp starmie ex has?
130
polar osprey
YOU DO DOUBLE DAMAGE TO IT
normal cave
also blue is now officially the worst supporter
Blue is the second worst card in the game, after pokedex
normal cave
YOU DO DOUBLE DAMAGE TO IT
Nah, +20 damage
normal cave
Pocket weakness is only +20
normal cave
So Giovanni is needed to one shot starmie
polar osprey
isn't it 10 short with gio?
normal cave
No
golden lance
It is
normal cave
Oh 120
golden lance
Caps at 120
sonic inlet
I'm also mad at mew
golden lance
Bro mew doesnt do shit
sonic inlet
They're making everything they can to make mew unplayable
golden lance
Its so funny
sonic inlet
Both EX and normal
normal cave
Bro mew doesnt do shit
Mew is for the mewtwo mirror
sonic inlet
Let me use the fucking cat
sonic inlet
Nerf it then
polar osprey
can't have any consistency tools or ways to beat red card
sonic inlet
Idc
golden lance
Mew is for the mewtwo mirror
Its also ass for the mirror
Since you are running psychic energy
golden lance
Btw, we're getting between 80-90 cards only
polar osprey
mew in the tcg has the same attack but the ability to draw until you have 3 cards btw
it would be an amazing staple
that gives acceleration
but can't have that
sonic inlet
Robbed
polar osprey
you will play basic beatdown or lose to red card and like it
sonic inlet
you will play basic beatdown or lose to red card and like it
People don't even use red card properly, it's ok
polar osprey
I think m2 would still play it choccy
you are kinda desperate
and it's better than meow
golden lance
Maybe
sonic inlet
Dnite is more worried with not getting water 4 turns in a row
normal cave
Dnite is more worried with not getting water 4 turns in a row
True
golden lance
You dont want random 2 prizers in a single prize deck
polar osprey
what's the retreat cost of our mew btw in the TCG it's nothing
normal cave
Its kinda just sabrina food
Wym sabrina food I am slapping it in the active slot
golden lance
polar osprey
so they took the ability away and gave it a retreat cost
what the fuck
and it's the card getting the immersive this set
normal cave
I am drawing off it and letting it die, then I take 3 stocks off with dnite
golden lance
so they took the ability away and gave it a retreat cost
Cover card btw
golden lance
I am drawing off it and letting it die, then I take 3 stocks off with dnite
Sounds like disneyland bro
polar osprey
do you think they just have no idea how to balance this game choccy?
golden lance
You think they are trying?
normal cave
Sounds like disneyland bro
This is Dnite you ain't winning otherwise
golden lance
Pvp is just set dressing
sonic inlet
As long as they profit
polar osprey
they could honestly have just imported current mew 1-1 and it would just be a fine acceleration tool
sonic inlet
They won't care
polar osprey
instead they decided to make it unplayable for reasons
sonic inlet
And they sure as hell are getting it
golden lance
They took the ability so you can see the artwork properly
sonic inlet
sonic inlet
3 energy feels so bad
golden lance
If only we had dce bro
polar osprey
I want comeback mons like ursaluna bro
sonic inlet
Btw weren't they going to release items
polar osprey
less cost for each prize they take
sonic inlet
Yeah tools
polar osprey
maybe they backtracked on it
sonic inlet
And they didn't announce them
polar osprey
don't want to make the game more complicated than pika beatdown
sonic inlet
polar osprey
btw blue is literally just worse potion
in every way
but a supporter
make it make sense
normal cave
Blue is the second worst card in the game
polar osprey
by 10 fucking damage
sonic inlet
And potion is already mid
golden lance
And it sometimes comes up in the mew2 mirror
polar osprey
and I only play potion bcs I have to
sonic inlet
Green is fine
sonic inlet
But I won't play her most likely
golden lance
What do you think theyll do
Unironically what would they do
That doesnt compete with x speed or gio
polar osprey
more damage against ex mons
sonic inlet
I mean, I'll just be a starcuno andy, but still
polar osprey
make a tool that makes so whatever equipped to it doesn't take chip damage
golden lance
polar osprey
lots of ways
sonic inlet
make a tool that makes so whatever equipped to it doesn't take chip damage
my articuno
golden lance
Only missing moltres ex to have every deck in the game
polar osprey
make a tool like that one I forgot the name that when you are behind your mons do like +30 damage
sonic inlet

In the bench?
If it's the bench then greninja would be sniping for 50

I still have all of mine. Saving them for feb
sonic inlet
I have almost 300 hourglass
sonic inlet
I still have all of mine. Saving them for feb
Yeah same, I'm not pulling in this pack if there's nothing better than what got revealed
golden lance
Btw
normal cave
polar osprey
my logic is that if the game keeps being this stingy I'm just gonna grow out of it
polar osprey
around the same thing probably worse
normal cave
How's wonderpick quality for yall?
I hate wonder pick. I get an EX like once a week AT BEST
golden lance
I'm not talking about hitting the 20% btw
warm sky

golden lance
Talking about having the option available
normal cave
Ohhh
polar osprey
actually not even about being stingy
sonic inlet
polar osprey
if the format doesn't become better I'm gonna grow out of it
normal cave
Then yeah once every 2 days
polar osprey
bcs it's some as rn
sonic inlet
Idk if I ended up showing it here
polar osprey
that's full art not immersive
immersive it's the one with it flying in the background
sonic inlet
Oh, right
normal cave
I only use Pocket as a pack opening sim twice a day. It's a great app for that little dopamine hit.
polar osprey
live is much better to play with but this is the worst possible time to play it
normal cave
The pvp is giga ass
sonic inlet
The game is going to be extremely casual still
golden lance
It was marketed as just "open 2 packs a day"
polar osprey
also even if you save all of your hourglasses you won't get immersives and shit unless you are extremely lucky
golden lance
And people downloaded it expecting that and nothing else
polar osprey
it's 0.04% chance for an immersive
you need what 5k hourglasses on average for that
normal cave
It was marketed as just "open 2 packs a day"
And as an app that does exactly that and nothing else, it is really good.
sonic inlet
I don't even have a crown or rainbow rare yet
golden lance
I dont have a full art trainer yet
sonic inlet
Huh
polar osprey
I have koga, blaine and someone else I forgot
sonic inlet
What's the one with the rainbow border then
golden lance
Alt art ex
sonic inlet
Ah
polar osprey
it's like the gold cards but rainbow
golden lance
People just call it rainbow rare
sonic inlet
More gamba
polar osprey
yeah but it has a name
also yeah they definitely don't care about the gameplay and neither do the players
all they do is complain about exes and how broken the bot challenges are in the sub
they can't beat the fucking venu bot on hard

Also make a marshadow deck
Actually that reminds me
Was marshadow the last time we got the 600 bst tiny little guy mythical Pokemon?
hasty anchor
Well, there's Zarude. Though, it's certainly not very little.
normal cave
Guys, do you think Lugia might help?
hasty anchor
Eh, I don't trust him. Navigate the sea on your own!
hasty anchor
I don't think I've ran into this event before. And it's apparently one of the more common ones out at sea
normal cave
It's also really unremarkable
The story is cute, but the results are eh
Even the downside is eh
hasty anchor
Yeah, at the very least you get a lot more out of the volcano-exclusive event, either bonking a bunch of moths or telling them to cool it
normal cave
The moths probably bonk you ngl
hasty anchor
Or I guess since this is a Roguelike, telling them to "COOL IT"
normal cave
Double battle vs two moths with a free quiver dance
Sounds like a run ender to me
The downside is also potentially run ending
hasty anchor
Fire Spin's definitely threatening when it's the first move they use before any other turn
At the least they are incredibly weak to rock-type moves, so a single Rock Slide might just win the battle then and there
normal cave
True, if you can fire it off
They get +1 to their speed and spatk
If you DO fire it off you win
But you're also as likely to have heat resistant mons to let you talk them down
Well, uh, maybe not

Chat I have made a huge discovery
Lugia is just Sky Blissey
Like, this thing doesn't die, but it hits like a wet noodle unless I spam calm mind
I should be winning this run, because Lugia has been destroying everything, but damn is it taking a while.
Even hurdles I usually can't beat like Zinzilon/Ghetsis are getting smoked by Lugia.
normal cave
Is it just pokemon emerald?
young river
Emerald with QoL changes, reworked Gym Leader and Team Aqua/Magma fights, all 386 pokemon available and an expanded post game
hasty anchor
Yeah you'd think Lugia would hit way harder, but it's got an even 90 in both ATK and SP. ATK
Which isn't absurdly bad, but it makes Aeroblast, the one thing Lugia is known for way less impressive than it looks
fading stratus
It's absurdly bad
hasty anchor
Meanwhile Ho-Oh has a fat 130 for it's ATK stat, so Sacred Fire hits just as hard as it looks
Really, I think Aeroblast should at the least do something else, cause simply having a better time of landing a critical hit isn't nearly as flashy as a 1 in 2 chance of inflicting burn
tacit sphinx
It's absurdly bad
90 used to be good
Our brains are just shattered because of power creep
hasty anchor
If anything we ought to jack up mons from previous generations way more
Still messes with me how Arcanine's got all those stats but Ninetales is left with very little
fading stratus
90 used to be good
Yeah like 15 years ago
hasty anchor
Ursaring
fading stratus
Well 90 hp is decent
Also like some mons are just built different
Gyarados is a gen 1 Mon it has 125 atk and decent stats overall
And even a good ability
Some mons can really have it all
hasty anchor
Of course even that too was subject to changes, even if it was just a consequence of attack moves being adjusted
About nothing it had, save for normal type moves worked off it's atk stat
Still was very threatening, just, it took a bit for it to take off
hasty anchor
As a counter point; we give every single first partner mon a new exclusive move

Shuckle event nerfed the shit out of Lugia and it was still immortal in the final fights.
Had all the time in the world to set up calm minds
Scarm and Lugia were duo walling the final boss at the end. @tacit sphinx would be proud.
Also, had hazards and better coverage which I got rid of for the final fight. Stealth rock with 3 layers of spikes is a loooot of free damage.
Btw, Dugtrio is insane vs the final boss.
Carries my ass nearly every run now.

It looks really weak
Unless I can pull it for my daily pulls

...though, since this is a miniset, am I able to use my current pack pulls to get one of the new cards?
viral ingot
Ngl I'm skipping the new set
We haven't seen all of the new stuff, so I'm hoping there's some other EX cards worth pulling.
