[brave harness]

this dudes running a generator in the back

[sullen grove]

right that's the deck that pops out of nowhere

double energy gen

i think grass kinda have a tougher matchup vs. that? but i haven't tried nor do I want to queue

[brave harness]

i bricked insanely hard even tho i did rowlet play to hit magneton and then killed it 2 turns later cause no candy

he'll never know that i won even without the meow top deck

i wish i knew his hand, i sacrificed my owl by healing sprig so that he couldnt cyrus which made him scared of rare candy meow and go tapu when i knew i had gio for 2 turn kill

but if he didnt have cyrus, i overthought for nothing

[sullen grove]

But thats the thing you pretend you have to top deck to win so he's rattled

[brave harness]

pretty happy with that match, the rowlet value was crazy

[little oracle]

Decidueeyes will be seeing alot play i say

Tht skill worth to have it

[brave harness]

im gonna keep it a buck, in almost every match i play, im pissed that hes in my deck

always get him stage 2 too fast and im just worried im gonna give them 2 free pts and not get double meow value

[little oracle]

U cant stop rng

I even getting shitty hand sometime

Even the game doesnt want you win alot

[brave harness]

i just mean from a deck crafting sense

it feels like there could be a much better partner for meows

like this last match i just played

they got turn 2 solgaleo and all i was getting was owl line, so i had to use him as stall

but stalling with an EX into 2 points is antithesis to meows gameplan

[sullen grove]

all I can say is I copied that tourney runner up meow/owl deck, got a 5 win streak and quit ranked

[brave harness]

[sullen grove]

i even played like shit the whole time because i never used the deck

[brave harness]

ull notice a trend in my sheet

candy + meow = win

[sullen grove]

i think people kinda caught to it now though, solgaleo starts to pop out again i notice

candy + meow, + another 1 with stage 1 in the background

what a nightmare

[brave harness]

its pretty funny how many games come down to rare candy turn 2

the gio value has been so crazy but i do wonder sometimes if theres games i wouldve won if it was mars/red card instead

[sullen grove]

we knew it will happen, leddit was so happy about it to

[brave harness]

also something funny i realized is that i cant ran any other deck even if i wanted to

[sullen grove]

probably good to trade your way to a darktina, everyone can use a darktina

highest value crafts

[brave harness]

0 tapu leles
1 crobat
0 gibles
1 rampardos
0 oricorio(psychic)
0 kiawe
0 solgaleo ex

[river dragon]

i need 1 more solgaleo

[brave harness]

i can make darktina, but i just have no interest

built it for the meme name

i wont play it

[river dragon]

[sullen grove]

i play it so i know what's in their mind when they do stuff

i actually do like playing it

[brave harness]

did u try darktina arceus crobat

[sullen grove]

no

hmm yeah have to try that too

seems like a fad deck to me though

[river dragon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeHFUwrstF4

this guys been playing it a lot

its the guy i was mentioning yesterday talking about the 30% chance for free win if u red card

[sullen grove]

better than watching 4 guys in a cramped car thanks for link eh

[brave harness]

red card enjoyer to the max

[sullen grove]

JP players are the OG red card enjoyer when it was "bad" they still used it

[brave harness]

tru

[sullen grove]

I feel whelmed

[brave harness]

grats

[tacit stag]

ugli

[sullen grove]

yeah it ugli

[brave harness]

i thought i had a good board and then he played this turn 1 into turn 2 candy crobat

[river dragon]

join the dark side

[brave harness]

idk if i can even be mad at this last loss

he put me to sleep turn 1, and then turn 2 got 2 heads from misty into candy blastoise

[sullen grove]

he only wants to win by rng

[river dragon]

my f2p account got bankrupt in uno

[river dragon]

Anywhere I go, I see lose streak

[sullen grove]

https://tenor.com/view/queue-up-tyler1-gif-20050902

[sullen grove]

Paid 5400 yen so I can hard craft a foil trainer I'll never do this again

[tacit stag]

wut da

[sullen grove]

At least I got him

Didn't craft yet, still thinking hu to craft

[sullen grove]

Stress relief, my annoying relative visits but she gives me late red packets so

[tacit stag]

🧧

[sullen grove]

Well it's less than 40 bucks

Also all that and I still haven't gotten turtonator

I'll have to trade

anyway fuck that chasing foil trainer is an expensive errand now I learnt
if they release the acerola coin + mats as leaked before I'll still buy it next though

but i think that's it for me I'll stick with monthly

Oooop

[river dragon]

top1k by the end of the league

or gay

[sullen grove]

I'm gay

I don't think I can hold top5k even

Top 10k should be fine though

[river dragon]

sheesh hope you get it

any solgaleo dupes haver here

:begging:

[sullen grove]

After next week we can trade I think

[sullen grove]

If I don't do anything I should get it

I'm so itchy though

[oak wasp]

Im not making it any higher than ultra 1

ban rare candy

[sullen grove]

https://old.reddit.com/r/PTCGP/comments/1ktidqw/heres_a_reminder_and_a_statistical_analysis_of/ these guys will never learn lmao

Hooglandia

[brave harness]

"red card is bad because its not about how many cards u have in pocket, its about what cards u have"

ok and 3 cards vs 4 cards means they have less chance of having candy + stage 2

[brave harness]

cant stand this game

also it took 26 promo packs to get first ninetales

also i started playing red card and ppl saying "u never know when red card actually helped" is so dumb

ppl keep conceding in response to the red card

[river dragon]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/PTCGP/comments/1kttil9/thoughts_on_lusamine/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[tacit stag]

kartana buzzwole lusamine just sounds like carnivine arceus but with extra steps

and lower bulk and dmg

so y

[brave harness]

Ilima gives u back the basic and stage 1 when u lift up stage 2

[tacit stag]

ye

[brave harness]

today had started so good

1 maybe winnable loss if no misplay, rest were wcyd

[river dragon]

[brave harness]

the amount of CR pokeballs ive seen

[sullen grove]

Game makes a lot of money and I contributed to it

[brave harness]

[sullen grove]

what a degen

[brave harness]

actually just unwinnable after that

i also have no clue how to beat helmet komala with meows

2 of my last 3 games were turn 1 helmet komala

ud have to have both stage 2 meows before their 4th turn

wtf

this is actually not dumb

[sullen grove]

the HP is actually awkward to deal with, you also cant 1 shot with decidueye

[brave harness]

ya this seems actually legit

[sullen grove]

JP innovator

[tacit stag]

more like poopcannon

[brave harness]

win streaks into lose streaks

just gotta play enough games that 100 wins matters more than 100 losses

[tacit stag]

da game always gives win and lose streaks

[sullen grove]

so organised, even at work im not that organised

yeah the 5+ lose streaks are rough, just need to keep reminding ourselves this is what true random looks like

[brave harness]

only really feels bad when u lose what shouldve been a winning matchup

[tacit stag]

i doubt its true random

on my 2nd account i was seeing the same thing when i hit ub1

[brave harness]

what part do u think isnt random

i dont get how they are ppl in ub3 that dont know what decidueye does

hes seen me attack him twice and he retreats and lillie's

to an HP that still gets 1 shot with snipe??

[sullen grove]

reddit: there are no more mistakes in UB level

[tacit stag]

dey juz hope u forgor dat decidueye can bench snipe

[brave harness]

crazy prayer

ive been noting whenever i misplay or opponent does and some of them are pretty funny

this guy blew my mind

like he legit swapped to ex tina and then lunala'd to ex tina with 2 energy meowscarada in active spot

[river dragon]

I forgot to finish the daily yesterday

[brave harness]

i wonder if ive missed a day since launch

or rather since i started playing

since i was a lil late

[sullen grove]

I probably missed a day here and there

[brave harness]

also

[river dragon]

it's because I was waiting for the free pack cool down and simply forgot it

[brave harness]

i dont think he saw that i Erika'd the tiny HP that was missing to prevent pierce dmg

[brave harness]

ive beaten both solgaleo and arceus crobat a single time in all my games

thats kinda crazy

whatever 3rd they play just takes way too long to kill and crobat has no retreat cost for tank and swapping without losing tempo

[sullen grove]

i think both are weaknesses of the green deck yeah that's why solgaleo popped out again

[brave harness]

solgaleo only doing 10 to himself instead of 20

[sullen grove]

it's hard enough to play him as it is, plz gib points

[brave harness]

i dont think it'd feel as bad if his ability wasnt crazy

[sullen grove]

Now just give us an actual meta mimikyu

I actually played mimikyu in ranked I think I got exactly 50% wr lul

[brave harness]

wtf u got the card u were pulling for

grats

maybe its a sign ill get lillie today

[sullen grove]

yeah but im not chasing to craft foil ever again i just feel empty

and not just my wallet

[brave harness]

i feel that

im hoping i can hit 1250 pack points for a pack if i use the next month on an old one

[sullen grove]

the bastards always release monthly though at least next pack should be a small one

[river dragon]

team match making rank

[brave harness]

all the ppl i watch switched to giratina magnezone tapu

[brave harness]

productive day

[sullen grove]

[untold mason]

been so unlucky with my pulls

[sullen grove]

Screenshot so we can laugh

[tacit stag]

me 2

💔

[subtle cove]

[little oracle]

@tacit stag @sullen grove @brave harness

[tacit stag]

yuh

[little oracle]

Who is tht pink monster

[tacit stag]

tapu lele

[little oracle]

Oh a sniper

[brave harness]

@little oracle lmao

It "supposedly" has no bad matchup

[little oracle]

Hell yh

This sniper is a bitch

Better than alakazam

[tacit stag]

it should have bad matchups against fast ramp low energy decks

like solgaleo or ramp

but i have no idea if those are popular cuz i havent played for a bit

[little oracle]

Still loss late game

Giratina act as a tank

[tacit stag]

darkzone never gets to late game against those decks

[little oracle]

Delay as much possible

[brave harness]

i definitely think tapu should only have 80hp (not biased)

also i think ramp is the worst card theyve made

[little oracle]

How worse if u can grunt it

[hallow bronze]

Why would u grunt rampardos

Its 1 energy

[brave harness]

google translates oricorio in japanese to cockroach (based)

[little oracle]

Their accent

[brave harness]

in darktina

what a freak

[brave harness]

ok lesson learned

if ur PC crashes while ur playing a match

and u open the app on ur phone, it doesnt let u reconnect and instead instantly counts it as a loss

[twilit mason]

Chase how is it going?

[brave harness]

up 1250 pts in 4 days so far

so i gotta get +200 pts in ~30 hours

[little oracle]

The pain

[brave harness]

if i was smart, id sleep now and play at night time for me when all the japanese players are playing

[little oracle]

They grind hard end season

[brave harness]

they also make the most misplays of anyone ive played

[little oracle]

And alot red card

[brave harness]

all my winstreaks are after like 2am my time where its just dogshit decks or the weirdest decision making from JP names

[brave harness]

this arceus crobat shit needs to eat 10000 dicks

every1s playing anti grass decks but im not even fighting mirrors

also somehow godzly has played 50 matches in the time ive played 20

[sullen grove]

Lucky I finished my climb that is cancer

[brave harness]

this can hit master ball...

[river dragon]

thats my stat

[brave harness]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/917175954609147964/1194428151313469600/greed.gif?ex=65b050e6&is=659ddbe6&hm=e35b706a70fdf034470d3369e69703c2bac8b0370263f37da688fa781a0f570f&

im omw to that stat rn

so many decks that beat grass being played but i cant swap

and cant wait for meta to swap to counter those decks cause 24 hours left

[sullen grove]

Surely it's because he tested decks for content

[brave harness]

the entire time he was doing his climb today

he kept swapping decks and saying he doesnt want to get master ball with meta

so he played: darkrai wall, garchomp ramp, and gengar

????

[sullen grove]

[brave harness]

i somehow beat that gengar deck earlier failing 6 sleep checks

[sullen grove]

Whatever makes him sleep better at night

[tacit stag]

dats y i stopped playing meow too

as soon as i got higher in ub it was onli counter decks

[brave harness]

i am loyal cat enjoyer

not like u really get anything for master ball rank

[sullen grove]

I guess it's all about timing

When I played cat it's ez win

[brave harness]

what were u fighting mostly

the amount of games ive seen myself going 2nd with sprig + meow in hand and im excited

and then the opponent drops turtonator + kiawe turn 1

[tacit stag]

cat was ez wen darktina was super popular

[brave harness]

ya most of them are on tapu tina ninja or tapu tina magnezone

tapu lele should not be 90 hp

[tacit stag]

[brave harness]

cant even 1 shot it with deci

and they cape + PCL it

[sullen grove]

Darktiner

And 1 bricked Charizard I member that it was so satisfying

[brave harness]

ah

[sullen grove]

[brave harness]

the only time ive fought darktina is the komala variant

rusty helmet or barb komala turn 1

and then u just cant play the game

[river dragon]

baj flex

[brave harness]

ya but the badge is meaningless with the amount of negative winrates that have it

(no offense since u said ur one of them)

[river dragon]

soon, master ball frame

[sullen grove]

I actually do like playing the Komala variant, it isn't as dead a draw as it seems theoritically

[sullen grove]

Yeah this is so annoying

[brave harness]

makes me wanna run gio again

but theres legit just way too many ramp decks

i think i got my first win against arceus crobat today

[sullen grove]

Guess everyone's trying to 50% wr to masters

And Charizards a bit risky with the number of tapu lele running around

The fuck is meow alo egg the guys cookin

[brave harness]

he played alolan exeggutor and then flipped heads twice and won

[tacit stag]

ive seen a suprising amount of ppl play alolan egg

[brave harness]

i also lost to a beedril who did turn 2 candy into ex bee + TRG 3 heads

wcyd

[river dragon]

i know what you can do

[brave harness]

about to go back

took break to eat food and do daily in another game cause im on giga loss streak

[river dragon]

mental reset king

[sullen grove]

Yeah I could never I queue giga tilted until my points back and more

https://tenor.com/view/queue-up-tyler1-gif-20050902

[brave harness]

[sullen grove]

[brave harness]

mr beast owl

[sullen grove]

You crushed his dream

But deserved fuck Gyarados decks

[brave harness]

honestly the worst part of this deck is that most of the matches arent fast concedes

[river dragon]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/PTCGP/s/ZJ7mYmLQIX

[brave harness]

how does every arceus start with 3 basics in hand

but ya, i think godzly played around 60 games in the time i played 30

[sullen grove]

Carnivine deck is actually crazy

It's how I initially climbed too

[brave harness]

i dont get how its this consistent

[sullen grove]

Just high roll

[brave harness]

ive had 1 match vs them where they didnt have the 3 pieces and then crobat turn 2 or 3

ok i won because he forgot to attack somehow

???

i actually almost won but i missed a 3/5 top deck to get leaf cape, leaf cape, or prof research

[sullen grove]

Oop

[brave harness]

wcyd

[sullen grove]

It's always a tough matchup neways

[brave harness]

feels like such a blessing to beat them

like u skipped a guaranteed -7

[river dragon]

the better FA won

[brave harness]

lies

decidueye RR is swag af

[sullen grove]

Not even black Charizard

[river dragon]

[sullen grove]

Jesus I haven't pulled turtonator after all the $$ I spent

Rng be rng I guess

Thx dena for trading at least

[brave harness]

true

but those silver borders are legit like the rarest thing in the game

its crazy how close rank 1 competition is

ppl that queue up and then go afk for 2 minutes tilt me more than any deck

[sullen grove]

Freaks like 800 points between rank 1 and 10

[brave harness]

i jsut realized theres a decent way to hinder darktinas consistency somewhat without having to redesign cards

just make it so u cant use abilities going first

what an insane level of brick LMAO

[river dragon]

[brave harness]

i dont even know what that deck is

is it alolan raichu?

[river dragon]

hard to tell

oh yeah, it is

[brave harness]

first time ive seen it

[brave harness]

i wonder if that guys actually in ub just RNGing enough games with tsareena

[tacit stag]

brute fors

[brave harness]

i need to be winning these grass games

cause its just fire grass fire grass atm

its unfortunate that theres no water deck to make ppl swap off fire

[brave harness]

this doesn't look like 33%...

[river dragon]

[little oracle]

my eyes

it hurts

[brave harness]

its still going btw

maybe i run 0 rowlet :)

[little oracle]

this kinda wr only applied if u are streamer

stream sniped

[river dragon]

@sullen grove thoughts

[sullen grove]

That deck is kinda rising I think it's better than the Charizard version

Cos you don't have to waste a turn

[river dragon]

[brave harness]

have a self contained basic pkmn as side piece is so nice

so much bonus room

[brave harness]

the egg

[river dragon]

he survived

[brave harness]

i was right, should just only play during jp primetime

legit the last 3 days was just slamming games 50% winrate and then after 1am, win streaking

0-1450 in 5 days

this was the final games after that insane lose streak

[river dragon]

gz

[sullen grove]

Yow gratz baby

[brave harness]

i wish i tracked from the beginning to get more stats

but im gonna do some filtering tomorrow and see 1st's vs 2nd's, rowlet/sprig, win rate vs each deck, win rate 1st/2nd + starter, etc.

[sullen grove]

Good idea to do this for next season

Ill probably forget when I play in transit though haha

[brave harness]

luckily its mostly just the very beginning and end of matches

if u dont care about the notes part

im probably gonna add a decent amount more columns if i do it again

[sullen grove]

Your data is really valuable actually especially as you play 1 deck

[brave harness]

like deck specific: number of Cry for Helps,
or card usage for tech testing

like i was really curious how much red card helped, when i used it, etc., so i started righting every red card related action in the notes

[subtle cove]

i need 1 cyrus 1 guzma 1 sabrina 2 tapu lele and 2 magneton

[tacit stag]

guzma is kinda mid for regular ladder, youd probs get more value using red card over it for that deck imo

[subtle cove]

wtf

i got my first rainbow

[tacit stag]

[subtle cove]

quartermak is german name

[subtle cove]

u have some cards of the cards ?

[tacit stag]

mayhaps

[subtle cove]

lemme yoink them

[tacit stag]

i cant trade the tapus tho

[subtle cove]

unlucky

[tacit stag]

ye that deck is kinda pointless w/o them too

[brave harness]

Depends on the deck for sure, arceus and darktina get some crazy annoying value out of it vs owlcat

Also the amount of turn 3 wins cause the cape protects an early KO but guzma'd

[outer bobcat]

I forgot to take a screenshot of my shiny gengar and exeggutor pack this morning

[little oracle]

[twilit mason]

gonna be available here in ph around september

[sullen grove]

Poggg finally I got normal beedrill from wp

Also this is kinda but I think it's best not to queue

[river dragon]

i joined sweat group

getting kicked soon

[brave harness]

glgl

only like 2 hours left so surely that many dont climb.....

and then some fall out of it panicking

[sullen grove]

An hour ago I was 4300ish so if the pace remains I should be fine

[brave harness]

care so little about ur deck that u didnt order the deck box

smh

[sullen grove]

That's my casual deck

[sullen grove]

Ok I'm at 4541 now I think it's safe

Thank you to owlcat for giving me a win streak

[brave harness]

i saw some1 called it meowl

so i changed my deck from owlcat to MeOwl now

kinda genius

[sullen grove]

[river dragon]

New deck # enjoyers

[brave harness]

ur an unloyal dog

[sullen grove]

When I netdeck I never change the name or just name it netdeck, naming is saved for my homebrews

[tacit stag]

daz cuz ur lazu

lazy even

[sullen grove]

Alright ez clap

Funny I didn't even aim for top 5k specifically the win streak just happened

Rng game

1 more month of pulling this pack for first immersive lillie...

[sullen grove]

Gumiho doesn't care but fuck you

[little oracle]

[sullen grove]

Gumiho has like 5 lilie harem

[little oracle]

F2p baby

[brave harness]

i just want 1 so my deck isnt ugly as fuck

[little oracle]

Lets hope ultra beast change met a bit

[sullen grove]

I'm waiting with my 1250 points (soon) which foil to craft

Lillie seems most likely. Why do they have to make Lana decks so dog...

[brave harness]

im glad water stays dog

since i didnt end up gettin FA mistys

[tacit stag]

nuthin will cahange

[sullen grove]

Maybe they will release a busted new mimikyu so I can use 2 foil acerolas instead

[little oracle]

Candy

Lillie check

Now i can play stage 2 no problem

[brave harness]

[little oracle]

U can skip a month ultra beast if want

To get lillie

[brave harness]

ya i intend to

seems like the new cards are reliant on EX's

so i can stay on meowscarada

https://tenor.com/ArNCaV0YNW.gif

[little oracle]

Like arceus

?

[brave harness]

we'll see but none of the non-EX's seem good on their own

the non-EX's seem like combo pieces for EX ultra beasts

the good news is meowscarada might be stronger

or sprigatito rather

if new set doesnt have many stage 2s and red card "falls off" in value

[little oracle]

I dont think ultra beast have stage 2

All of em allready peak stage

[sullen grove]

If guzzlord turns out to be good, low energy cards will also be better

Like meow

[little oracle]

We just see i assume

[sullen grove]

Maybe tsareena will be back

[brave harness]

i still have to try tsareena

i full sent on the owl route

[little oracle]

Oh what

Grunt

[brave harness]

ya

[little oracle]

Naaa

I rather change grunt for this

Atleast it have dmg

[sullen grove]

Owl is probably better on avg but 150 damage is fun when it happens

[brave harness]

i mightve been the goat tsareena with how often i didnt get sprig start

turn 2 tsareena EVERY game

they tryna copy cardfight vanguards swag

i wasnt expecting sophocles and kiawe to actually be characters in the show

wtf

[tacit stag]

i wooda corrected those brrats

[sullen grove]

Holy shit copium

[brave harness]

Big

I'm pretty sure if I didn't play through EU prime time, my win rate would've been crazy even with the last minute grinding

Cause every EU prime time, I'd play for 5 hours to get 20 points

On my sheet, my win rate during JP prime time is like 90% or higher

[little oracle]

JP time either drunkard

Or office worker no life

Salty with ur playstyle and rng

[brave harness]

i just assumed it was like street fighter

where theres just more japanese players than any other region

so ppl that play during their primetime are heavily inflated rating wise

for sf6, japanese players at 2200 rating were actually 1800 rating without the inflation

[river dragon]

me who faced them head on

[sullen grove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6q3M8Y-y_A fucking saka, sus af nice voice changer my man

[brave harness]

did they end rank 1

last i saw athena pulled decently far ahead

[brave harness]

also its funny that he has his sister narrate his videos

[sullen grove]

thats what he said yeah

but susge

maybe "his sister" is actually her

[sullen grove]

no (s?)he got rank 3

[brave harness]

unfortunate

rank 1 into rank 3 is still pretty crazy

[sullen grove]

still more rank 1s than the actual saka, if you follow football

[tacit stag]

the sister is me

[river dragon]

[tacit stag]

i think one of my 2 star packs entered the pool

[brave harness]

ill be spamming to find out

also just got this

shouldve been immersive

[river dragon]

[little oracle]

I laughing since u are grass user

I dont see benefit u gonna try colgate ex

[brave harness]

I don't have plans to

Part of me thinks I should give up on getting immersive without pack points and just pull Guzma pack so I have chance of getting more FA decidueye

Guzma + decidueye chance vs just Lillie cause mallow kinda useless

[little oracle]

Free colgate

[sullen grove]

free to use for trading

[little oracle]

@sullen grove @tacit stag @brave harness

[brave harness]

gotta catch em all

[sullen grove]

i need more info NOW

I thought there would be an Acerola playmat + coin set to spend on, where is it DeNa

[tacit stag]

game got a patch

entire set might be leaked soon

[sullen grove]

JP are too corpo to leak

[brave harness]

i shouldve waited one more season to climb...

wtf

at least now ppl will actually play the game

dont have to be scared of losing master ball

[tacit stag]

i knew it

[river dragon]

2b and a3 baj means masochist players

[sullen grove]

Idk why they don't just quickly do the changes sprint finished already and they couldnt fit in the changes?

Winning streak points are kinda bitch mode tho imo

The no demotion part was sorely needed

[brave harness]

Ya no demotion is hella healthy for the game

Now ppl can hit masters and not play meta and have fun

Win streak is dumb cause there's too many factors that can be a loss since u shouldn't win every game

[sullen grove]

Yeah I think it's a bitch mode addition especially in masters. I don't mind in ultra

Actually it's good in ultra

[brave harness]

Agreed

For this kinda game, pre master ball should be tutorial and then you just play the game

[sullen grove]

Just weird in masters, never seen a competitive game with one before

[brave harness]

Especially with how the top 10 only play each other

Someone is gonna win trade

Become unreachable

[sullen grove]

Well it won't matter for us so we let these 10 people deal with the consequences

I think getting top 10/5/1k will be more cancer with the win streak

[tacit stag]

theyre probably adding winstreaking for player retention

[sullen grove]

Lucky I got mine already

[tacit stag]

since a lot of ppl just hit ub and stop

or same with masters

[brave harness]

i think i have the free time required to hit top 1000

the question is if i care enough

since i dont even enter tourneys

[sullen grove]

I think in UB is good to have, in masters its kinda weird

Because it can interfere with ranks a lot

But no matter really

[brave harness]

ya

[sullen grove]

Anyways I can't wait til the redditors realise they will still get stuck at ub3 or something instead of ub1

No more alibis for them

Excuses, even

[twilit mason]

Twist his balls

[raven hamlet]

Still farming

[twilit mason]

Which card do you want from new set?

[untold mason]

[raven hamlet]

[oak wasp]

I just want shiny gengar

[brave harness]

[sullen grove]

No femboy WAJAJA

[tacit stag]

WA

JAJA

[brave harness]

whats crazy is that it was in my expired

even tho ive been checking wp every time i hit main menu

shit tried to dodge

and then actually dodged

if i hit 1250 pack points before 1 immersive, im gonna lose it

[river dragon]

[outer bobcat]

I'M GOING TO GET A CROWN THIS NEXT SET

[brave harness]

zeraora looks so fucking cool

i wouldve loved that pkmn if it came out when i was a kid

wow ppl were right about lycanroc ex

[sullen grove]

3 energy though... If it's 2 it's an upgrade for the current fossil deck

[brave harness]

idk man

lycanroc consistency with a big hitter and fossil

how much hp was it

150

hmm

[tacit stag]

the ex is unironically a worse rampardos to me

[brave harness]

ya im just viewing it as a potential rampardos partner

[tacit stag]

normal lycanroc has better consistency and ramp has better ramp

[brave harness]

since ur mainly using lycan tree for deck thinning

[tacit stag]

heh

[brave harness]

i need to see grass leaks

i pray theyre shit

its sad that water will likely never be solid just cause misty exists

[sullen grove]

misty was a big mistake

even playing casually it doesn't feel nice to lose to a super big rng swing that you can do nothing against

[brave harness]

ruined waters "archetype"

concerned oricorio might do same for lightning

[river dragon]

[tacit stag]

soon

[brave harness]

https://tenor.com/b0w1n.gif

[brave harness]

[little oracle]

what an lame ass gold card

[tacit stag]

yup

[little oracle]

so what

[tacit stag]

[brave harness]

[untold mason]

bro wtf

lucky mofo

[tacit stag]

[sullen grove]

30 pulls, got everything except the EX

Gonna need to finish off all the solo battles later

Also need 1 more electrical cord that card seems goood

Anyways I think the set isn't as weak as we thought, buzzwole seems good?

[tacit stag]

buzzwole mid

[sullen grove]

Feels bad when busy, can't theorycraft decks in first days

https://old.reddit.com/r/PTCGP/comments/1ky458x/power_creep_is_hitting_hard/ my god people are retarded

[river dragon]

1500 damage missions

[tacit stag]

i dun do those anymore

theres too many of the token thingies anyways

[river dragon]

these are for plebs

[tacit stag]

wut da

[river dragon]

📈

[sullen grove]

What the

[tacit stag]

wut

[river dragon]

done this time

[sullen grove]

[river dragon]

[sullen grove]

i think this warrants a reevaluation om

[tacit stag]

mid energy mid dmg

[sullen grove]

dont forget loser minay

[raven hamlet]

vxTwitter / fixvx · May 29, 2025, 5:43 AM

[sullen grove]

complaining is at least OK if it's correct. it's not even powercreep this time

repel only affects basic pokemons

[sullen grove]

Queen 🧎‍♂️

[river dragon]

pheromosasoftware

[sullen grove]

damn i only got 1 ex from 40 pulls and its lycanroc

[tacit stag]

yikes

[sullen grove]

i just need 1 buzzwole please dena or the crab

early stoutland is kinda oppressive

He doesn't know kek double u

[sullen grove]

im done spending crazy $$ though i'm just gonna take my 3 daily packs now

i think stoutland decks and electric decks are still gonna be reasonably tier B. just my prediction

[tacit stag]

mid

i dont get why they refuse to let electric be as good as generating energy as other types

while giving electric mons 3 cost moves that do less than 100 dmg

[sullen grove]

i dont think the tapu ex is good, just rita ora and the new support card

[tacit stag]

these one death/prize support cards are all bait imo

they still have the same values as normal tcg but we only have half the prizes

[sullen grove]

the electric belt or whatever the name is

[tacit stag]

if the electric belt let both energies go to one thing itd be good

but spread 2 energy to 2 mons 1 each is

[sullen grove]

it's good enough methinks

if both can go to one thing theyre auto include 4sure

[tacit stag]

ye

it also doesnt fix the fact that electric pokemon are still squishy af for no reason too

[sullen grove]

rita ora is 90 hp

[tacit stag]

the devs are acting like pika ex from ga is still meta and building electric around it

[sullen grove]

ofc if you dont draw them turn 1 its gee gee

[tacit stag]

ye no zerora turn 1 is brick lule

tapu koko is literally just reskinned ga pika ex

(we know how good that is rn)

and the belt doesnt solve their problems

[twilit mason]

I have done 10 pulls got 2 EX and 3 full arts

Very nice

Got this 2x

[sullen grove]

[twilit mason]

And this cool one

[sullen grove]

oh i do have that one

i think we can make some lacGimmick decks with it

[twilit mason]

Yeah

What ex did I get

[tacit stag]

it might not even need to be a gimmick

type null is already really good of a basic itself

[twilit mason]

1x Tapu Koko and Buzzwole EX

[sullen grove]

from what I skimmed through, (cum)guzzlord and buzzwole seems decent. the others are kinda

but i might be wrong

[twilit mason]

I did 1 pick too got

[sullen grove]

Yeah gladion can fish, and there are so many supporters

[tacit stag]

guzzlord will probs be one of those metadefining ones

2 energy for on demand team rocket is pre goog

[sullen grove]

I'm thinking of fossil but that might actually be too lacGimmick

[tacit stag]

and 120 dmg for 4 energy isnt too bad either

[twilit mason]

No wonder they made him 2 star

ReallyMad

[sullen grove]

Blacephalon seems like it can be good at some point

Lusamine + attack on demand for 130?

Cray cray

[twilit mason]

Moltres EX?

[tacit stag]

it depends if bench sniping is still gonna be hot or not

for blacephalon

the bulk is kinda sus

[sullen grove]

He needs to be a finisher

[tacit stag]

and if red card is still popular

u dont wanna be holding lusamine + blacephalon until its needed

[twilit mason]

You know what?

Im happy it's only 1 pack and NOT 2

[sullen grove]

It's always 2 1 1 I fink

They've settled on the pattern

[tacit stag]

ye

[twilit mason]

It's annoying when it's 2

And same time to next pack comes out

[sullen grove]

Yeah I'm sucked dry by the previous one

[twilit mason]

Yeah same

I think 1x 10 of this set is enough

Now im on saving

How can I find friends who send liked to collect the 5x coins faster everyday?

I gonna do that everyday now!

[sullen grove]

I'm pulling until I can craft 1 ex, I pray I get a buzzwole or cumguzzlord before that

[twilit mason]

Maybe pick

I believe in you pokemon gods in here

[sullen grove]

Half of my likes are from this discord always gummi and krisian

[twilit mason]

Yeah I gonna spam likes everyday

No more slacking im sorry

[tacit stag]

u just have to log in during reset for likes from me

[sullen grove]

thats fine I got JP homies to pick up the slack

[tacit stag]

or login slightly before reset rather

[sullen grove]

tough for him cos sweden time is AM during reset

[tacit stag]

i like through the friends' showcases tab

and it shows ppl who login recently there

[twilit mason]

TRUE

[tacit stag]

suxs to be u

[twilit mason]

It would be nice if they added like all friends in 1 button

[sullen grove]

qol? nahh

[twilit mason]

Wont happen

[sullen grove]

too busy counting money i gave them

[twilit mason]

Would be like no good for the game

[sullen grove]

i guess they want showcase to mean something

[twilit mason]

True

[sullen grove]

but idk man if i want to see, i will see

[twilit mason]

Some ppl are collectors and some ppl like battle

[sullen grove]

not like i see showcases i like

99% of the time i skip through, the likes/thanks are just annoying

[twilit mason]

Make sense

When im doing PvP im trying to press thanks just because why not

[sullen grove]

i never thanks when im in ranked screw you guys

[twilit mason]

[tacit stag]

i kinda like the grass deck nao

nyot cuz buzzwole is good but cuz of the tech options

[sullen grove]

chase must be happy, grass is flourishing

[twilit mason]

Is he a grass type of main?

[tacit stag]

cant take advantage of erika = not grass

[sullen grove]

yeah hes a cat fucker

https://tenor.com/view/meowscarada-cheese-slap-gif-355814966081109562

[twilit mason]

[tacit stag]

phermosa is insane cyrus value and kartana is pre strong tho

[sullen grove]

kartana/pheromosa, the retreat engine, buzzwole, pretty good aggro core methinks

[tacit stag]

ye

[sullen grove]

celesteela

[tacit stag]

especially since theyre 1 energy basic and 1 prize

[sullen grove]

i member

celesteela can also clutch some games 100 damage is no joke

[tacit stag]

meme atk

[sullen grove]

its meme but it's better than nothing if youre bricked

better than 50 damage no flip, say

[tacit stag]

can celesteela swap itself out

[sullen grove]

yes

[tacit stag]

nice

goog as a temp wall technically too ten

then

[sullen grove]

yeah without her ultra beasts wont work

ultra beast focused decks, that is

like with lusamine + 100 damage she can 50-50 close game from 0 energy if your carry dies, I can see it being annoying as hell

not her core function but good that she has it

[tacit stag]

its ugli tho

guess i pull a lil more to try buzzwole
