the thing about random battles is they’re all balanced by levels, so legendaries might be in the 70s while the mons you mentioned are definitely in the 80s/90s

Couldnt you reasonably hit top 5 in like less than 10 games
If I don't lose it would probably take me 4

The likelihood of +8 or smth is pretty high atm now that I've hit 2400
There's not that many 2300s that could give me +1x
Kinda sucks to grind that much tho, my queue times could be insanely long, and one loss at this range is about -30

fluid matrix
dude am i crazy or does the new dark deck seem actually good
weavile and darkrai ex kill so fast
stone void
yeah i really wanna get weavile ex and another darkrai ex for the deck
theres also another deck with darkrai ex magnezone which seems to be quite meta rn
where you use solo dark energy but use the magneton from genetic apex which has the ability to get 1 electric energy attatched to itself every turn
and magnezone only requires one electric energy (and 2 of any type where dark comes in) to do 110 damage
with the chip damage from darkrai and cyrus to force mons back in it is really strong
blazing forum
oh wow i never thought about that
although i did wonder if magnezone would be good once i saw how the first magneton card worked
fluid matrix
that deck does seem good although i think the strength of the darkrai deck is the speed it comes at you with
weavile is a stage 1 mon with a 1 energy move that can hit for 70
if you go first you can get that out on your first attacking turn
energy darkrai > dawn > attack = 90 damage on your opponents unevolved first active pokemon
if you started with rocky helmet too they either dont attack your sneasel or they do and you bump up to 110 by your first attacking turn
stone void
yeah that all makes sense, im just basing the other deck off of the percentage each deck has been played in a recent tcgp tournament where darkrai magnezone had like 60% usage rate
id say weavile ex darkrai ex is easily a great option too tho
i also think the palkia manaphy vaporeon deck is quite good too
fluid matrix
id rather know for the next time i see a water deck tbh
battle event is probably soon
stone void
yeah i think it starts in either an hour or in an hour tomorrow
so manaphy
it has a 1 energy move
basically
u select 2 pokemon in your bench
and then each one u select gets 1 water energy from the energy zone
concept being that u have manaphy in active, eevee and palkia ex in bench
stack those until u retreat manaphy (u dont want it to be ko'd)
then u send in palkia or eevee, evolve eevee into vaporeon
with wash out u can pivot all those extra water energies to vaporeon or palkia ex
so u can output palkia 150's way more often
fluid matrix
i see the vision
50 hp definitely a gamble though theres a lot of random shit that can just KO it
stone void
yeah exactly
fluid matrix
do they run giant cape?
stone void
but at least u dont have to risk the rocky helmet or druddigon damage since it doesnt do damage
stone void
do they run giant cape?
some do
i think there are like 2 variations
1 has 2 poke comms to find the vaporeon easier for a turn 3/4 evo
the other just has giant cape to make palkia a tank or to have manaphy tank an extra hit to stockpile more energies
all variations will have double misty, prof research, pokeball, and cyrus
no potions
then x speeds (not leaf since u alr have so many trainers)
fluid matrix
oh shit i hadnt even seen pokemon communication until now
fluid matrix
idk if spoil is necessary lol idk who is waiting til they pull the cards to read them
fluid matrix
I just hadnt seen any of the solo battles use it and if ive pulled it i didnt read
stone void
theres also another interesting deck that uses dialga ex and yanmega ex
solo steel energy
open with dialga, get 2 energies on then you can stockpile onto yanmega to output 120's without stopping
same applies to lickilicky ex if u wanna flip coins
instead of yanmega
fluid matrix
that lickilicky card seems craxy but coin flips
stone void
true
but 100 base is still insane regardless
2 coinflips ko's like 99% of cards even with cape
so its worth
fluid matrix
I used celebi against the elite darkrai solo battle and lost like 5 times in a row cause I would open the game and go 3/14 on coin flips across multiple attempts and then just close it and repeat
stone void
mood
i had the worst coinflip luck with celebi against the solos
like i flipped 10 TAILS IN A ROW
heres a vid on magnezone darkrai if u wanna watch
fluid matrix
wait if its discard an electric energy how does it keep attacking?
you just have to keep it on magneton for a couple turns and hope the game ends before you run out?
stone void
yeah, u can have druddigon on the active to tank and stall for magnetons to set up
making sure its the magneton from genetic apex
every time u use magnetons ability gives 1 electric energy on it
which is 1 attack for magnezone
(assuming u have enough dark energy on it ofc)
fluid matrix
this doesnt sound that good to me in theory but apparently the numbers are saying otherwise
stone void
i think the first 2 turns can determine how good/bad it could be
like get druddigon in active turn 1 and rocky helmet it
they wont wanna attack u since they will take 40 dmg
u set up magnetons in the back using their ability as much as possible
stack dark energy on darkrai to chip down hp
when drudd gets low pivot to a magneton, evolve and hit for 110
but if u get solo magnemite turn 1 without prof research or poke ball it could be very rough
that deck doesnt have rocky helmet in the vid
but there is a variation where u use rocky helmet instead of poke comms
stone void
I got it from the first pack 😭

3 dialga immersives
bro share 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
i legitimately have gotten nothing good since day 1 when i opened 10 packs for both
fluid matrix
have yall other free to play players been using the gold you get from leveling up?
or are yall also hoarding it
stone void
I was just hoarding it for no reason until I bought the Cynthia deal in the shop
until then I was f2p
there’s kinda no reason unless u have enough to 10 pull
fluid matrix
1 gold is like 2 hourglasses
I was kinda considering if i should just use it to open more packs
stone void
u can if u want to but imo saving gold for a 10 pull is just so much better
and way more satisfying
fluid matrix
ten pulling is cool but saving hourglasses feels bad when theres a card you specifically want
like if I already had the darkrai deck ready id probably just save for a 10 pull
stone void
true that
I’ve been opening dialga packs for ages trying to get a 2nd darkrai ex
