Pokemon

[mighty storm]

they did cresselia dirty

Only does 50

[polar osprey]

the best decks are gonna be dialga and some other stage 1 or basic they didn't think was gonna be good

[normal cave]

Yeah cress is giga ass

[polar osprey]

just like with the celebi set and gya

[ashen barn]

I need to see if florges does the same

Oh wait

It does

So cress is diet florges, but florges has better output and sustain

[polar osprey]

honchkrow has 1 retreat cost in the Japanese trailer btw

[ashen barn]

Dialga really depends on whether or not we get better steels

[normal cave]

Florges is a stage 2

[ashen barn]

Because yes bisharp is cool

And melmetal does something

[polar osprey]

dialga also enables normals btw

[ashen barn]

But damn, it's not enough

[polar osprey]

it doesn't have the moltres restriction

[normal cave]

Melmetal is better steels that need the energy turbo

[ashen barn]

Wait

[normal cave]

Oh fuck

[ashen barn]

Oh good lord

[normal cave]

Dialga Snorlax

[ashen barn]

That's true, maybe pidgeot can see some usage

Without being a joke

[normal cave]

Pidge is a stage 2

[golden lance]

Gonna be honest DIALGA seems turbo ass

There's no good steel attackers

[ashen barn]

It's really not tho, it's a better moltres

[golden lance]

Its the same issue as moltres atm

[ashen barn]

But again

[polar osprey]

it's moltres without the RNG

[ashen barn]

It needs more steels

[normal cave]

Maybe Dialga Wiggly?

[golden lance]

Cool and you're gonna attack with what, bisharp?

Melmetal?

[ashen barn]

I can try that one out

[ashen barn]

Exactly my point

[polar osprey]

probably wiggly ex lol

[golden lance]

Its joever

[pseudo goblet]

Bastiodon

[normal cave]

Wiggly's biggest issue was being slow

[polar osprey]

this set has to have something for dialga to boost

[ashen barn]

We need more steels that do something

[polar osprey]

otherwise they would have let it attach to itself

[ashen barn]

Bisharp is by far the best steel rn just thanks to the scaling on it

Melmetal is still too slow

And idk whoever designed melm, but making it die to psydrive was a choice

Even through the reduction

[golden lance]

Also, fundamentally, dialga enabling wiggly makes 0 sense

You're still using 3 turns to set up

[normal cave]

True

Snorlax

[polar osprey]

there's gonna be something for it

[ashen barn]

But now you aren't truly wasting said turns, and dialga can be used for something

Unlike Palkia...

[golden lance]

Just like celebi was what breaks serp right?

[polar osprey]

serp came out with celebi

[ashen barn]

No, celebi is basically ass, but serp has way more potential

[golden lance]

Yes

[ashen barn]

Just because it doubles energy

[normal cave]

Serp is a stage 2...

[golden lance]

Its the same scenario again

"Pray for a good attacker in the set"

[ashen barn]

They both need decent enablers

[polar osprey]

calling it now

[golden lance]

AND moltres

[ashen barn]

Dialga is really bulky, and 2 retreat is really good for it

[golden lance]

We're 3 into the line

[polar osprey]

m2 will receive the biggest buff again, bcs of the lake trio exs

[normal cave]

Moltres Arcanine was good no?

[ashen barn]

Yes, but also fairly bricky

And takes a long time to get going unless you drew everything turn 1

[golden lance]

Ehhhhhhh

[ashen barn]

Moltres also needs to flip heads

[golden lance]

Worse than blaine

[ashen barn]

Firepower 10/10

Nothing stops a zard with 8 energy

Consistency tho...

[polar osprey]

yesterdays leaks did say this set was gonna be bad

so far everything has been confirmed

sinnoh and ass

[ashen barn]

Unironically arcanine is the best fire ex attacker

[polar osprey]

calling it now

[ashen barn]

Because it's a stage 1 and not 2 and does just enough

[polar osprey]

thanks to giovanni

we aren't gonna get any half decent attacking tools

[golden lance]

Oh yea

Pulled a 3rd and 4th mewtwo ex

If anyone wanted to trade for one

[ashen barn]

We'll probably get stuff like rocky helmet imo, and this is at best

[golden lance]

My best is that the best tool is sitrus berry

Because haha 2016 worlds

[polar osprey]

heal 30 damage pog

[ashen barn]

My only question is do you have hypno and Poliwrath

[polar osprey]

watch out potion

[golden lance]

I do

[ashen barn]

Good

Because I don't

[golden lance]

You have a single prize aerodactyl?

[ashen barn]

Found a gold pika and FA brock before a single damn thing

[ashen barn]

I think I have 2

[golden lance]

Good

Was also in need of a full art dedenne and electrode

[ashen barn]

all I want is a hypnooooo

[polar osprey]

calling it now

we won't even get lum berry

they are gonna spread the status berries

[ashen barn]

Electrode I do have

[polar osprey]

one for each

to make sure they are extra useless

[golden lance]

Need

Are my expectations too high?

I cant get hyped for anything

It all reads like packfiller

[polar osprey]

no the leaker literally said this set was bad

and it's bad by design

[ashen barn]

Tbh lucario might be decent

And also dialga

[polar osprey]

they pushed johto back bcs they didn't want to make the game too complicated

[ashen barn]

And cynthia, depending on the actual cards

[polar osprey]

cynthia is doomed

2 stage 2s

for it to say deal extra 50 damage garchomp is probably dogass

[golden lance]

Unless garchomp kills all bench mons, its probably mid

[ashen barn]

Yes, but at the same time, we don't know yet so I leave options open

[golden lance]

My thoughts exactly

Its gonna be like

[ashen barn]

I'm not saying it's ass outright

[golden lance]

4 energy for 90

[polar osprey]

decks where the stage 2 is the main win con simply don't work in pocket

only as a supporting role

[ashen barn]

I'd be shocked if it finds a single use

[golden lance]

And pray to god that its a fighting type

[polar osprey]

so unless this set has breeder and rare candy

[golden lance]

And not dragon

[polar osprey]

it's ass

[ashen barn]

Oh yeah, the dragon curse

[polar osprey]

the dragon curse is pocket not knowing how to handle multi energy decks

[golden lance]

Also, ground hits pika for weakness

Would be nice

[young river]

Still no Celebi EX

[ashen barn]

And the only reason it's that way is because we don't have alternating energy

[ashen barn]

Want 1 of my 5?

[golden lance]

I would

[polar osprey]

I just want acceleration tools so "my stage 1 was in the bottom of the deck" is not a real issue anymore

it being one at all is insane

[ashen barn]

Sorry, 3, 2 are immersive

[ashen barn]

Same, but just for stage 2s

I'm sick of relying on slab, oak, pokeball

[golden lance]

I hope we get mon recovery

[polar osprey]

I don't want a new meta or whatever I want consistency

[ashen barn]

And trying to get stage 1 off slab

[polar osprey]

Idt we are choccy

[golden lance]

Sometimes you lose because your basics died early

[polar osprey]

the devs are afraid of making the game more complicated

[ashen barn]

Gyarados

[polar osprey]

Idt we are getting anything that messes with the discard pile any time soon

[mighty storm]

Im hoping for gastrodon

[ashen barn]

I hope water type gastro that hits electric as if it was a ground

Because fuck me I'm so tired of being hit for 110 without recourse

[polar osprey]

my hope is that they update the shop with A2

and add greatball

and shit

please

[ashen barn]

That'd be nice, yeah

[golden lance]

I want special energy

[ashen barn]

I want a way to alternate double energy

[polar osprey]

misty and brock make sure we aren't getting energy cards any time soon

[ashen barn]

So you get 1 each over 2 turns

[polar osprey]

if we do it's gonna be a trainer

energy dude

put 1 special energy on your mon

[ashen barn]

Dragonite instantly shoots up in usage and misses every target

[polar osprey]

give me thorton and a sinnoh trainer Idc

[golden lance]

Btw

[ashen barn]

Stage 2+ double energy + random hits

[polar osprey]

I would kill for something like that

[golden lance]

I'm blaming hearthstone for all this

Ben brode decided that rng was the best thing to ever happen to card games

[polar osprey]

btw choccy

[golden lance]

So now pocket that tries to appeal to the same demographic baked luck into every single mechanic

[polar osprey]

we are 100000000% getting fucking good rod

when we get anything that messes with the discard pile

or old rod

just for those sweet coin flips

[golden lance]

I'm so tired man

We're gonna get the fucking gen 5 items

[ashen barn]

I started using duck shadow just to escape flips

And also finding anything above a basic

[polar osprey]

old rod flips 2 coins btw

[golden lance]

Hypnotoxic laser time lets gooooooooooo

[polar osprey]

you put back based on the number of heads

[golden lance]

Actually wait

[polar osprey]

my guess is if they update the shop it's gonna be old rod and great ball

[golden lance]

Laser does something if you get tails

Cant have that

[polar osprey]

can't wait for poke catcher

but your opponent chooses

[golden lance]

Need

When we reach alola

You know how UBs have to be weird right?

[polar osprey]

ye

[golden lance]

They're gonna roll dice

[ashen barn]

If 6: attack

If not 6: discard this card

[golden lance]

Not discard

It knocks itself out

Because fuck you

[ashen barn]

Even better

Snipe hunter would be proud

[polar osprey]

I can feel the old or good rod

recycling being based on coin tosses probably makes the devs salivate

the one attacking tool we get is gonna make the mon confused or something

[golden lance]

We'll only stop coin toss effects when the game gets banned in belgium

[golden lance]

BERSERK GENE

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

WE'RE SO BACK

[polar osprey]

the casuals love the game being toss based btw

they also think misty can never get powercrept

[ashen barn]

Haaaa...pokemon unbound, can I please get a gible WITHOUT an attack or speed lowering nature?

[polar osprey]

which shows they have never played ptcg

[ashen barn]

Literally misty 2 but you attach 1 100% of the time
Done

[polar osprey]

yeah a literal energy card would be better

[ashen barn]

Yep

Misty fail is a disaster

Everyone sees the misty flip 4

Now do the math on said chance

[golden lance]

Something something game good when i can turn my brain off

[ashen barn]

6.25%

And attaching 1 is 50%

50
25
12.5
6.25

That's what it is to play misty

[polar osprey]

so how long y'all think until the devs realize stage 2s are basically useless and stop making decks around them?

I give it like

6-12 months before we get a single way to accelerate into stage 2s

[ashen barn]

4 to 5 months

[golden lance]

Unova

Take it or leave it

[ashen barn]

As soon as people realize that stage 2s aren't good

And 2nd quarter profits roll in

[golden lance]

Hoenn can get away with it because all of their cool mons are basics

[polar osprey]

Unova is probably gonna be the last region since they seem to be going based on popularity

and ranking said popularity by copies sold

[ashen barn]

Charizard...

Wait. Hoenn

Definitely starters will be made to be good

Or at least alright

[golden lance]

Have you seen the kanto trio?

[polar osprey]

the multi energy issue is only gonna be fixed with kalos bcs they are gonna have to make the 500 different dragon types in the region work

[ashen barn]

Hey, Charizard is their golden goose, and Pika might as well be a starter proper

And blastoise has a use case

Venu I legit don't know what they were thinking

[golden lance]

The use case is playing it and replacing it as soon as you get any other water ex

[ashen barn]

There were a couple of tops with Blastoise literally 10 days ago

And not 16 person tournaments

But tbh

[golden lance]

Anything in this game tops with enough luck

[ashen barn]

True

[polar osprey]

the playerbase is awful

[ashen barn]

Still, blastoise has a use case

[polar osprey]

again they were saying palkia is gonna break the game

[ashen barn]

But is worse than articuno

[golden lance]

Fucking alakazam got tops

[polar osprey]

they also said the same about celebi

[ashen barn]

Starmie did so from day 1

[golden lance]

It will

Because people dont play games fully

They just scoop as soon as one player gets a bomb

[ashen barn]

I don't think Palkia will be even considered at high level

[golden lance]

So for ladder yea

Any ex is broken

Btw need

Have you seen people asking for a non ex ladder?

Its so funny

[polar osprey]

people are doing their own nonex ladder

[ashen barn]

Hey, on one hand, I get it

[polar osprey]

the pw is NOEX

[ashen barn]

But there's NOEX

[polar osprey]

they say exs ruin the game and shit

[ashen barn]

Right there

[ashen barn]

And then you see noex

Which is blaine turbo

[polar osprey]

they made lucario ass for no reason btw

stage 1 2 energy to hit for 60

it should have done 60 as base then 80 with the boost

[ashen barn]

It's a bit interesting

But not enough

Fighting already is hyper consistent thanks to shadow and lee and farf

No need to go increase output by 20 but lose consistency in the process

[golden lance]

I think the issue of fighting is a lack of cohesion

Deck rn is just a bunch of guys with no focused gameplan

[ashen barn]

Ideally farf hits a lot and dies, shadow then retaliates

It's more a toolbox than a deck proper tho

[golden lance]

And then you die because the opponent has 2 exs in the back that are doing 90+

[ashen barn]

True

[golden lance]

And your lategame sucks

[ashen barn]

Can't deny it

Having to rely on tauros or mew to deal with lategame threats is not something I'd call good

[golden lance]

And then there's aero ex

Which is just kinda homeless

[vagrant steppe]

Whew dialga sucks

[ashen barn]

It legits only needs an enabler

It's really good, just not now

[golden lance]

Yea

Pocket has 2 types of cards

Packfiller and stuff that's good in a vaccum

[ashen barn]

Then there's stuff that was an oversight

Starmie ex

[normal cave]

Aero EX's issue is that its basic is not consistent, unlike every other basic

[golden lance]

What breaks starmie was the free retreat btw

[ashen barn]

Yeah

[polar osprey]

we need a fossil searcher trainer that coinflips

that will do it

[golden lance]

Since sabrina puts agency on the opponent starmie can just tank a lot more than it should be able to

[normal cave]

A fossil searcher makes Aero infinitely better

[ashen barn]

You sabrina against a starmie and legit nothing happens

[polar osprey]

Idk why the game does everything it can to take agency away from you

[golden lance]

I KNOW

[normal cave]

Becauae Aero is not terrible

[mighty storm]

https://tenor.com/view/roark-pokemon-roark-pokemon-gif-7060050985570549102

[golden lance]

EVERYTHING IS CONDITIONAL FOR NO REAL REASON

[ashen barn]

It's not, but at the same time it's not great

Middle of the road and the ability does something sometimes

[normal cave]

Its big issues are

1. old amber is inconsistent
2. evolutions suck ass most of the time

[ashen barn]

3. most stage 1/2 decks evolve on the bench

[golden lance]

What's pika's attack name again?

[ashen barn]

So it's not like Gengar ex

[golden lance]

Circular circuit?

[polar osprey]

circle circuit

[golden lance]

Oh my joke doesnt work then

[normal cave]

Wait it only blocks the active slot?

[ashen barn]

Gengar ex would be good if it wasn't a stage 2

[ashen barn]

Yes

[golden lance]

Yes

[normal cave]

Nvm its ass

[golden lance]

Pocket™️

This game has 0 good cards

[normal cave]

Eeehhhh, Sabrina and Red Card are good

[ashen barn]

Sabrina is*

[golden lance]

Sabrina puts agency on the opponent, card has a lot of small drawbacks

[ashen barn]

Red card is...alright at best

[normal cave]

Red Card existing prevents stage 2 decks from ever being real

[polar osprey]

but it's fine

[golden lance]

They already do that by themselves

[polar osprey]

^

the card is balanced bcs of that

"balanced"

[normal cave]

Ah

Best card in Pocket is full art Dragonite because he adorable

[polar osprey]

when we get stage 2 consistency stuff

they better no be trainers

bcs you are gonna have to hold onto searching them until the turn you can evolve to not get red carded

[normal cave]

The monkey paw curls, they are EX basics with search attacks

[polar osprey]

if we get breeder red card is gonna eat their ass

breeder target basic search the stage 2 for it get red carded scoop

true combo

[mighty storm]

so yeah anyone gonna get the Yamper?

[polar osprey]

@golden lance a2 binder and display, guess this means arceus will be the mini

[golden lance]

yea that was what i was expecting

what sucks tho is no giratina

[polar osprey]

probably the mew celebi situation

gira gets the immersive and arceus the gold in the mini

[viral ingot]

Damn, Darkrai lookin' amazing. I hope we get him in this pack.

Has to, right?

[polar osprey]

this pretty confirms he is coming yes

also apparently the pack will only have 148 cards

can't fit the entire sinnoh dex if you take into account the supports and shit

[polar osprey]

pocket is still first in popularity

with 2nd place not even getting close

this shit made 200 million in the first month and now another 100 million

if this keeps up pocket is gonna be the highest grossing mobile game ever

reaching 1 billion in revenue in less than 6 months

we didn't have a main pack in Dec so it's probably gonna go back to 200 million in revenue in Feb again

did we get anything from pocket making unfathomable amounts of money and being the single most popular game in the planet for 3 months and counting?

[pseudo goblet]

2 energy for 140 damage

[mighty storm]

Not whole set shown (missing stuff like empoleon) but a lot of them

[pseudo goblet]

@normal cave Weavile might some do damage next set

Or was it shown already

[normal cave]

Weavile is in the set

Weavile EX

1 energy to deal 70 to a damaged pokemon

Or 30 to a non-damaged one

[normal cave]

@polar osprey good pokemon tools

[pseudo goblet]

Togekiss has the potential to hit 170 with just 2 energy and a Cynthia

https://tenor.com/view/hold-up-hold-up-meme-fallout-meme-gif-3737350009659669155

[normal cave]

Stage 2 mons tho

[pseudo goblet]

Garchomp potentially does 150 with an extra draw ability lol

[normal cave]

Stage 2 tho

[pseudo goblet]

Cyrus seems useful

[normal cave]

Yeee

[pseudo goblet]

‘Special art Rare’ assuming this is stuff like that beautiful art card with Kanto birds

This is BS, I get SR more often than SAR, Heck I dont have one

[maiden flax]

I'm aiming for 1250 points

[pseudo goblet]

FA Misty? Lol

[normal cave]

1.67% for an ex. Wow.

[pseudo goblet]

FA is more common than EX-

NO BLOODY WONDER

Also Rare card gets a huge jump from Uncommon

This is also BS, Where my Zombie bug huh

Its only ‘90.91%’

Me assuming first set and this set had the same pull rate

[maiden flax]

No

[maiden flax]

That manaphy 😮

[pseudo goblet]

Okay what cards you want

[maiden flax]

FA Gyarados EX
But who knows, might be playing a new deck before then with this new set coming out

[pseudo goblet]

I am missing way too many shit, Damn it Dena

[normal cave]

Rocky Helmet turns any mon into a drudigon at home, and turns drudigon into a menace.

[pseudo goblet]

Oh right, Druddigon can use it

Fuck

Omw to create a Drudigon deck

[normal cave]

Gyara is a drud deck

[pseudo goblet]

I have none

just normals

[normal cave]

I guess Dnite can work?

Anything which lets you win the game off stalling long enough

[pseudo goblet]

Lmao

[normal cave]

But Dnite is a stage 2 and doesn't have Misty.

[pseudo goblet]

Mix between fast and Slow DPS

And a tank

Well two

[normal cave]

You don't want to mix usually

Focus on one thing

But Dnite is probably the worst "stage 2 win the game" mon

[pseudo goblet]

Ig Moltres and Charizard works better huh

[normal cave]

Zard, Toise, and Venu all do that better

[normal cave]

Yeah, just give Moltres a rocky helmet

[pseudo goblet]

Works better if I had a second chicken lol

[normal cave]

Still not a good deck btw

Gyara is a stage 1 win the game

So it is more consistent

[pseudo goblet]

Best I can do

Yes thats a Farfetch

Ran into a match but I forgot to switch from water energy to fire 🤦‍♂️

[maiden flax]

"touch me, I dare you" druddigon

[pseudo goblet]

That was quick

Wtf Mirror match already???

It is

This is just Metapod vs Metapod all over again

https://tenor.com/view/harden-gif-18584956

Both side has done no damage at all for the 9 turns atm

Both refuse to switch out their Drudigon into their maxed out Zard

Omg end this already, I cant take it

Okay they did it first, finally, into their Rapidash

[normal cave]

Why farfetch'd?

[normal cave]

Idk how you win this then

[pseudo goblet]

Just end already, idc anymore

[normal cave]

Oh

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah I lost, they Sabrina me

[normal cave]

Yeah they win here

Your moltres is too low

Cut the fetch'd

[pseudo goblet]

Turn 1 beat down cheese lol

Hmm

[normal cave]

Bro, that doesn't help your end goal

You are a stall/combo deck. Your goal is to delay the game until you have a 5 energy zard. Once you have that, you win the game.

[spice rivet]

Incase it hasnt been posted yet

[normal cave]

Farfetch'd slows down your development by eating energy and bench space. It wastes time attacking when you could be using moltres.

[fading stratus]

zane finally gets a shiny enam

Wait shit you re right

Another Zane jinx holy shit

[mighty storm]

yup

[normal cave]

He's fine, depending on what bibarrel does. He does not 2-shot anything aside from magikarp.

At best you are dealing like 100 damage to a zard and then dying on the crackback.

[pseudo goblet]

I WAS expecting they release Woman with tail but NOT THIS SOON

[normal cave]

For 2 energy

So Bidoof is really just evolution fodder.

[pseudo goblet]

Dang, 2025 is also the year of Sinnoh, biased much GF

Now I need to buy BDSP and focus on PLA

[fading stratus]

when are you getting a shiny fighting bear

[pseudo goblet]

Bewear??

Oh Urshifu lol

[fading stratus]

ursh.............

[pseudo goblet]

Just how many ‘exclusive’ shiny are there in BDSP rn, Manaphy, Arceus, Shaymin, Darkrai?

[maiden flax]

I mean it seems like his job is to bite something and die

[pseudo goblet]

Phione kinda ig, the only mon of this list that gets the Shiny charm odds

[spice rivet]

I think its only Arceus. All those could also be caught in Platinum as well.

[last musk]

Ye he's not bad

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah but Idh DS so lol

[spice rivet]

Fair enough

[pseudo goblet]

Also I am not going over the whole Manaphy quest

Especially not after this

[spice rivet]

Also also, the distribution of the mythical events for BDSP has ended so they're still technically locked away.

Sometimes I hate this franchise so much ☠️

*Beside Arceus

[pseudo goblet]

THEY WERE ON TIMER- oh Arceus survived, okay, that hurts less

So Shaymin and Darkrai gone…

[spice rivet]

Yup, gotta get those FOMO $$$

You cant even get the Platinum outfits.

[polar osprey]

@golden lance WE FINALLY GOT A CARD THAT INTERACTS WITH DISCARDED ENERGY AND ITS FOR ELECTRIC ENERGY

1000 YEARS OF PIKACHU

[golden lance]

[maiden flax]

It's pretty... Electric

[pseudo goblet]

So the same thing In this franchise lol

[last musk]

New Cyrus support
Force switches an opponents damaged Mon on the bench to the active spot

Jesus

[polar osprey]

that's just more restricted boss orders

[maiden flax]

Manaphy is neat very reliable energy ramp in exchange for having a itty tiny body

[golden lance]

Wait

Who gets to pick?

[last musk]

You do

As person playing it

[golden lance]

Neat

[maiden flax]

I imagine that the weavile deck will have something for damaging the bench

[polar osprey]

we got it right btw

[pseudo goblet]

Any chance Hisui mon gets in next set, Enamorus came back seems out of no where

[polar osprey]

lum berry, cape and rocky helmet for tools

[maiden flax]

Stick the helmet on the drud

[golden lance]

Where are yall seeing the leaks btw?

[last musk]

Subreddit

[polar osprey]

manaphy is pretty broken btw

[maiden flax]

Watch your opponent's IQ drop by 30

[polar osprey]

manaphy is moltres

but for waters

and not ex

[pseudo goblet]

@golden lance

[polar osprey]

attach 1 water energy to every benched water mon

1 energy

[pseudo goblet]

Btw what that

[maiden flax]

Its 1 to 2 different benched mons

[last musk]

Pachirisu is real

Damn

[maiden flax]

What does the pachi ex do?

[pseudo goblet]

Also Ig best way for them now is ‘hack’ DPP?

[polar osprey]

garchomp is draw power btw

super weird choice

[last musk]

80 damage if it has a tool for 2 energy

[polar osprey]

discard 1 card to draw 1

it's water and fighting energy

[maiden flax]

It's actually just VGC pachi

[pseudo goblet]

Discard the extra Charmeleon and Zard after your second Charmander died

[normal cave]

On a stage 2

[maiden flax]

It's a bit awkward with how it's a stage 2

Like it's not going to be helping consistency much

[polar osprey]

the next promo pack is crescelia ex

[pseudo goblet]

Wait yall have datamine already?

[polar osprey]

yes

[pseudo goblet]

Dang peeps are fast

[last musk]

Cresselia ex promo, 3 energy 80 damage, heals 20 hp on itself whenever you attach an energy to it

[golden lance]

Thoughts on pory z?

[polar osprey]

weavile ex is ass

[spice rivet]

FOMO = Fear Of Missing Out.

Basically by making things time limited, it will pressure people to buy the games as soon as possible rather than wait and buy it later/used.

[polar osprey]

pory z would be broken and needed if it wasn't 3 energy

it would be a nice bandaid for multi energy decks

[last musk]

Trading needs consumables

[polar osprey]

togekiss is like

[maiden flax]

That and the fact it's a stage 2

[polar osprey]

much better than garchomp

[maiden flax]

So you're getting it late

[polar osprey]

cynthia is just gonna be a toge deck

[pseudo goblet]

[maiden flax]

And by late energy shouldnt be an issue anymore

[pseudo goblet]

So I need DS for those two now right

Man this sucks…

[polar osprey]

promo electivire does 40 damage

[last musk]

Gallade ex could be real

[polar osprey]

if it has 3 energy it does 120

[last musk]

2 energy 70 damage does 20 more for each energy on opponent mon

[maiden flax]

With the Lucario which could be interesting

[last musk]

Issue is a stage 2 and a stage 1 feels inconsistent

[maiden flax]

Lucario on the bench is another 20 damage
And can work as an alt wincon similar to gren in gyara ex

[polar osprey]

darkrai probably gonna be immersive or gold btw

definitely an ex this set

[maiden flax]

I mean
It would work the same as gyara ex/greninja wouldn't it? But with the roles reversed
Stall with drud, go gallade if can't go gallade quick enough let Lucario do the work

[polar osprey]

we are also getting darkrai coins, sleeves, playmats and binders

[last musk]

Yeah should be fine I'm just spoiled by pikachu

[polar osprey]

the entire cosmetic lineup is darkrai themed

[golden lance]

Damn

Chomp is trash

[polar osprey]

yeah

toge is also trash but not as much

we guessed it

[golden lance]

I think toge's alright

Pretty decent one prizer

[pseudo goblet]

Why Im hearing peoples pen on drawing ‘Im not calling you a good girl’ meme on Garchomp already

[maiden flax]

I'm curious about empoleon

[polar osprey]

we are also getting a fuck ton of cynthia accessories

to no ones surprise

[maiden flax]

But greninja Palkia would likely be a better version of greninja cuno

[polar osprey]

cynthia with chomp playmat walking away from an explosion looks sick

[golden lance]

Oh yea btw

Switching the toge away with cynthia and cyrus removes the buff

[polar osprey]

yeah

gallade looks cool but stage 2

[pseudo goblet]

Cyrus, dragging thing to death, hmmmm

https://tenor.com/view/giratina-anime-cyrus-pokemon-nintendo-gif-13862343

[maiden flax]

It looks to be another drud stall deck with Lucario being the alt wincon

[polar osprey]

we are also getting chimchar accessories

they are tied to the next wonder pick event

Idk what the cynthia accessories are tied to

probably the pass

[polar osprey]

lucario is not winning anything shit hits for 60

[pseudo goblet]

Did datamine say anything about Mamoswine?

[maiden flax]

Technically 80 if you got 2 of them, it's not as good as Gren is who does 80 by itself but in that deck gren is the stage 2

[polar osprey]

a2 is gonna release with a pvp event btw

yippe

[golden lance]

So did mythical island

Was there any surprise there?

[pseudo goblet]

What becomes of cards with baby prevo btw

Like, do Chansey become stage 1 because of Happiny?

[polar osprey]

no

they are both basics

[maiden flax]

^

[polar osprey]

we are getting a new ralts and kirlia to support gallade

[pseudo goblet]

So just fear for Blissey anyway

[polar osprey]

you play those in m2

new ralts has teleport

manaphy looks good on paper but I'm afraid of that 50 hp poll

pika decks can ohko it from 1 energy

[maiden flax]

It has to be a deck which isn't afraid of losing a few mons
So likely belongs to a non-ex deck
Or an ex deck that is using the ex card as the be all end all

[polar osprey]

normal darkrai looks ass

I wonder if this is gonna be a mew situation

where we only get the ex in the next pack

darkrai is 3 energy to deal 60 and put the opposing mon to sleep

[maiden flax]

It's that one wigglytuff deck with the 2 Hypnos!

[pseudo goblet]

Lum berry*

[sterile verge]

I forget if project pokemon actually perserved those or not

[spice rivet]

I would assume so, but I have yet to do any Switch hacking.

[pseudo goblet]

You caught Shaymin and Darkrai already right

[spice rivet]

Yup, did rng manips for them in Gen 4

https://youtu.be/5HQk_dJeYH4?si=zGtSOPTz5ipiW-i3

[fading stratus]

dont you have a almost full shiny dex yozz

and only remainings are the ones that aren't available

[pseudo goblet]

Hope you wont mind me asking about these tricks when its my turn to do it lol

[spice rivet]

Thats no problem Zane!

Not quite a full shiny dex, but I do have nearly every Legendary and Mythical Shiny except for those that are unavailable through legitimate means, and this short list.

[pseudo goblet]

Where Keldeo??

[fading stratus]

do you already have zacian zama

[pseudo goblet]

Oh you already kicked Keldeo out, not worth mention

[spice rivet]

Yes, I did manage to get them. Same with the Galar birds.

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Built different

[spice rivet]

I think I actually was able to register for the tournament in SwSh where they distributed 1 of the Galar birds, but the other 2 I got through trades so there is a chance theyre non-legit. But they havent caused any issues so they're probs fine

Again, GF, make Gen 10 with ALL pokemon, and Snap shiny locks out of existence…

Easy money from your fans

[fading stratus]

volc is like the only good flame body mon

heatran prefers flash fire

and magmar prefers vital spirit

and talonflame has gale wings

[warm sky]

Hey now, in singles flame body talonflame is preferred in gen 9 now

[pseudo goblet]

What about Magma Armor

[fading stratus]

oh?

whats the reason

[pseudo goblet]

Steam Engine only gets one user

[warm sky]

Talonflame is less offensive now

It's more utility sets

[fading stratus]

ig utility in singles is different than doubles

since utility in doubles means tailwind

[warm sky]

Yeah because you don't really got the tailwind abuse

[pseudo goblet]

… actually, there only one mon with Magma Armor huh

[fading stratus]

yeah makes sense then

[warm sky]

You wanna use Talonflame to spread burn

So WoW or Flame Body

U-Turn pivoting

[fading stratus]

wisp is 75% accurate

[warm sky]

Taunts

[warm sky]

85%
This ain't gen 4

And also taunt

i like the gen 2 colors

[mighty storm]

afternoon pack got my full art blue

[cunning shard]

Oh crazy water decks got a good set up mon

Like manaphy probably solo removes druddwall decks

Potential turn 3 gyarados with Vaporeon

It's also interesting because it doesn't even need to fuel water mons

Could be decent in colorless pile too

[golden lance]

Pretty good for dnite ngl

[cunning shard]

Ye and probably even blast oise

Guy hits for 180 so don't even think about running rocket helmet over cape

Gyarados should run cape anyway to secure their carp

Also electro seems crazy with Volkner

Now let's see what lixray does

Like druddwall seems lackluster when mons get to knockout range fast

Also weavile looks interesting with smogon

Very fast aggressive deck to put dmg on I guess

[polar osprey]

cysus is insane

electivire also seems good but we don't if the event electivire is the same as the one in a2

2 energy hit for 40 but if it has 4 energy it hits for 120

stage 1

and then gets even better with volkner

[cunning shard]

Magnezone also doesn't seems to bad since it fuels it self and sets up vire with Bob and volkner

[polar osprey]

optimal pika probably gonna be pika electivire moving forward

[polar osprey]

that seems like too many trainers

and setup

with magnezone being a stage 2

[cunning shard]

I always forget that it lt surge

[polar osprey]

electivire is stage 1 and hits fine without the setup if you don't see it

seems a lot more consistent

but again the a2 electivire could be different from the event one

manaphy I see potential but heavily depends on the format

since it needs to survive 2 turns to be net positive in energy

it's gonna be good if people go even harder on stall with helmet

but otherwise seems too risky

[cunning shard]

U just play 1 Magnezone otherwise vire is kinda weired to get alive since u will still need arround 4 enegery worth attach turns

[polar osprey]

also this

[cunning shard]

Tho wording on Volkner is Weired anyway since it attaches energy from discard which means u need to had have that energy in play allready

[polar osprey]

yeah

volkner is a comeback tool

it's just sada

the wording is not weird

literally just sada for pocket

Reverse welder

I think manaphy alone makes drudd stall decks worse

[sterile verge]

OH

It was TWO DUPES

[signal raptor]

[polar osprey]

[signal raptor]

[sterile verge]

new set releases <t:1738216800:R> at <t:1738216800:f>

@signal raptor

[signal raptor]

have to wait an extra day

[mighty storm]

wait is the set at 10 tonight?

or tomorrow?

[sonic inlet]

Yeah I saw Cyrus, he's broken with cuno and such

Palkia being unplayable still kinda killed my interest on picking up pocket again

It's also the same repeated events apparently, so eh

[polar osprey]

I'm sure there are gonna be other good water decks in the set

seeing as how they already leaked 2 good water cards

palkia might end up being better than dialga just by virtue of being water if they give steel fuck all

[sonic inlet]

Manaphy and?

[polar osprey]

cyrus

[sonic inlet]

Oh

Right

Guess we'll see

[polar osprey]

also we are getting an absurd event
