Pokemon

[whole grove]

my first ever 10 pull got me 3 new cards

i did get a dupe of the fa giratina tho which is kinda cool

that makes 37 fas

[lofty nest]

Anybody got origin form palkia

Literally the last card I don’t have from old sets

[fluid matrix]

turns out they did restock some JT

I went there at 10 this morning and there was a line of like 5 people and they had 3 JT things and the rest was something else

checked 4 other places before I went home for funsies and nothin sadly

[lofty nest]

was it the lillie boxes?

[fluid matrix]

yeah 2 of them and a big box

[lofty nest]

Ah

[radiant harness]

Opened one another tin with my father and pulled the terra hydregion ex

So lucky

Literally all the boxes i opened are insane cards

[neon temple]

then open more

let's go gambling!

[radiant harness]

can’t

i have 2 ionos boxes

and 1 more tin and a scarlet violet base

etb

but yesterday i pulled the gardevoir chase

[neon temple]

if you've got the product that means you can

atleast open the base set ETB

people need Arvens to play with

I am missing 3 Arvens from my deck and nobody at my local league has extras

[fluid matrix]

Holy shit i opened a pikachu ex for the last card

[hoary hornet]

)/

out of 3-diamond cards I am missing, i would like any of either darkrai/bastiodon/luxray (all STS)

that's all the cards of similar rarity i lack

[hoary hornet]

freedom!

Just missing a few STS diamonds and that's it

[uneven valley]

Arvens are a pain to get a hold of, im considering getting a few battledecks just for a couple of him xD

[blazing forum]

YESSSSSSS

[fluid matrix]

Wait ive literally never seen that card thats fire

[blazing forum]

it’s so good

one of my favorite pokemon too

[blazing forum]

i can give you darkrai, i’m missing lucario, dusknoir, porygon z, empoleon, shaymin, and electivire from sts 😭

also weavile and mismagius ex if anyone wants to trade in that rarity

[lofty nest]

All I’m missing is 3 EX cards from new set 😭

Nothing I can do about it except pray

3 beedrill, 3 DIFFERENT zards, 5 clodsire, and both special arts of tinkaton but no basic lmao

Wugtrio has also avoided me in 2 different wonderpicks

[jaunty shadow]

which os are you missing?

im down to trade if i have an extra

[lofty nest]

can't trade cause it's new set

[jaunty shadow]

ooooooo

[fluid matrix]

Pulled a second pikachu ex and finished the themed collections now too

And i have museum on this set

But ngl i still kinda wanna open it cause i dont have the immersive, more shinies would be cool and idk how many secret quests there are for them, and i wanna dream that i can get the pokeball crown

[stone void]

oooooh

I have filled out a bunch of the 2 stars and above in this set 😭

[uneven valley]

Damn, these some weird pokemon cards

[neon temple]

what even is this D-tier grading company

my Pokemon binder has a hololive jumpscare on the last page

tho I've only opened one booster and got nothing valuable

[uneven valley]

Its a guy who opens packs that grades cards for super cheap. Only did it cause i wanted em in a slab

[radiant harness]

@lofty nest U good with values?

Im tryna do a trade rn and i wanna make sure im not rlly getting shit on

[lofty nest]

trade for what?

@radiant harness

[radiant harness]

So

I’m doing a trade for my gardevoir ex SAR for his venusaur ex SAR from 151

• 20 cash ontop

[lofty nest]

lemme check

[radiant harness]

I’m guessing it’s a good trade bc i feel since the venusaur is from a special set

[lofty nest]

you trading with a shop/pannel or just a random dude

[radiant harness]

my friend

i trust him ik he legit

[lofty nest]

you lose like ~$5 if you add $15 on top then it's basically even

but it's a p reasonable trade

since the prices vary so much

maybe ask to add 15 instead of 20

cause gardevoir is 52ish and venusaur is 66

[radiant harness]

recent sale prices of both its a much bigger diff

ngl

gard ~40 venu ~70

[lofty nest]

gard went up a lot recently and ven is going down

hold up

either way I think the trade ur doing rn is totally fine

good value for both

this is what I'm going based on

but yeah not a rip off for sure

[radiant harness]

what site is this?

i usually go off tcgp or pricecharting

[lofty nest]

collectr app

goes based off ebay listings iirc

it's pretty good and the UI is much nicer than TCG

[finite ice]

bro me and my friend used that app when we did some card pulls

mf pulled a card worth $80 twice and i the best card i got was worth $5

[lofty nest]

goddamn

[finite ice]

almost made me crash out but its ok i like my card better :3

[mighty badger]

God I keep on seeing pokemon art of Shiny espeon being brought up as a y aah alien, and it's making me just love the shiny 10x more

[neon temple]

tcgplayer seems better than ebay

[radiant harness]

yeah i agree

[neon temple]

if not graded, ebay card conditions seem to vary a lot

[radiant harness]

i’ll hold on the trade till i see the condition

[lofty nest]

for purchasing, tcg is more consistent but if you just want to see where the market price is, ebay works just as well p much

since people will list for basically the same as prices on tcg anyways

there's still a lot of solid ungraded sellers on ebay tho

[radiant harness]

i might just grade my gardevoir card

it’s such a sick card

[lofty nest]

it's a good one

[neon temple]

would it be a PSA 10?

if there's anything wrong with the condition, I'd sell it raw and buy an already graded copy

[modest pine]

Finally

[radiant harness]

I pulled that too the other day

[modest pine]

Goat

[willow ridge]

FUCK

[rigid kraken]

thought it was a god pack for a second 😭

not to mention the pikachus a dupe

[novel crescent]

the fact you pulled anything is crazy

ive not hit anything but that iono for so long

[stone void]

ermmm…. gulp

ERMMMMM… GULP

number 3 😭

[lofty nest]

Tinkaton please come home

[jaunty shadow]

GIVE ME ONE

PLEASE

I WANT

A CHARIZARD

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, any timezone but that one

[mighty badger]

not bad (storm silver hc nuzlocke) https://i.imgur.com/G0FF5rN.png

[fluid matrix]

I just lost a tcgp ranked game that i definitely woulda won because a mf hit 4 heads in a row with eevee turn 1

im fuckin livid

[timid trellis]

well theres your first problem

playing tcgp ranked

[lofty nest]

real

[timid trellis]

I have literally not opened the battle screen in a month

cba to even do the drop events anymore

[lofty nest]

I got to UB1 and then stopped

[fluid matrix]

I wasnt gonna play it until i learned yesterday that there were hourglasses involved

I read the news thing about it and it only said emblems and i was like fuck that but hourglasses?

im addicted

[lofty nest]

the gap from UB to MB only gives an extra like 20 and the grind is so not worth it lol

a MB emblem would be cool tho

but it's too far gone now

[fluid matrix]

I only just now hit great ball and ive only lost like 4 games I think

[lofty nest]

you don't get win streak bonus in UB so climbing is way harder

[fluid matrix]

oh nah im stopping at UB too then

[lofty nest]

AND losses are -7

it's rough lol

plus you have to like double your points from UB to get to MB anyways

710 > 1450

idk why they made that gap so awful

[fluid matrix]

oh itd definitely be way sweatier too

fuck every part of that

rn im only winning so much cause it feels like most people I fight barely know whats going on

only a few close matches

[lofty nest]

ye

at the start of the season early ranks were still hard cause everybody started at the same spot

but now it's not nearly as dense

[mighty badger]

bugsy roasted me

[fluid matrix]

My 4th turn, i had played both my professors researches

In those seven cards exists 2 skarmory, 2 dialga, an arceus, and 2 pokeballs

Literally every card for me to get a basic was on the very bottom

To make it even worse this mf had hand scope so he got to see this bullshit

[blazing forum]

ah so your bad luck extends to the battles too, got it

[jaunty shadow]

I GOT IT

SDJJEJDJXHXHSJSH

HSHXHDBSJ

LET'S GOOOOOOO

[fluid matrix]

Works in other games too, even real life stuff like coin flips

Incredibly reliable

[signal minnow]

New pocket set

[lofty nest]

When?

Oh April 30th

Ok bruh I’m looking at the leaks and these cards are insane holy

Won’t spoil but the meta will be VERY much changing

For the better it looks

But who knows it could be equally annoying lmao

This is so incredibly huge though

[fluid matrix]

Oh thats interesting

Its faster but i dont know if itll be more consistent

[lofty nest]

I mean if you have ||both the stage 1 and rare candy in the deck|| then it’s objectively more consistent but yeah I get what you mean

Might be worth the dead cards tbh

If the ||stage 2 is that important/powerful||

[fluid matrix]

||maybe but its already a lot to have two 3 stage pokemon lines in your deck||

[lofty nest]

||could just run one and 2 rare candies||

[fluid matrix]

I think id have to see how that plays out

[lofty nest]

depends heavily on the deck for sure

I think it’s a great addition tho

[fluid matrix]

Cause it relies on you drawing a specific card out of your 20 that you have no copies of and cant pokeball

Which is a big ask

[lofty nest]

True

[fluid matrix]

You could poke comm but thats its own thing

[uneven valley]

||One of my favorite cards from the physical game, makes it so easy to get damage dealers out||

[lofty nest]

||alternatively no stage 1s and only rare candy + stage 2, bit of a gamble but it’s funny||

[fluid matrix]

Worth imo

On most cards

[uneven valley]

||thats like half the cards in my greninja deck, i dont have any stage 1s for my supporter pokemon||

[lofty nest]

||greninja and crobat looking mighty fine rn||

[fluid matrix]

||also lillie immersive ||

[uneven valley]

Cant wait til i get my Raging bolt + Bellibolt deck going

[fluid matrix]

||so glad they arent leaving immersives and crowns to just pokemon themselves||

[lofty nest]

Yeah it’s rad

||oh the rayquaza ex promo looks toxic as fuck it’s just objectively WAY better dragonite||

||4 colorless energy and a basic for 160 death bombs is wild||

[fluid matrix]

Im excited for it

[lofty nest]

The whole set looks sick, so many good cards

Well from what has been shown

[fluid matrix]

Sad to leave shining revelry behind though, never pulled the immersive, still want the pokeball crown, and i only got 2 shinies with no fullart shinies

[neon temple]

does pocket have any item search cards?

[fluid matrix]

No

[lofty nest]

Unfortunately not

[neon temple]

||then candy might not be worth it||

[lofty nest]

It’s got iono which is a hand shuffle

Erm spoilers

[fluid matrix]

I think theyll come with time, like great ball and ultra ball will come in time

[lofty nest]

Maybe lol

The game still plays way different

Since it’s so fast

Either way I’m excited to at least potentially be out of giratina buttcheek hell

[neon temple]

||Arven in the real TCG makes a huge difference in Rare Candy's consistency||

[lofty nest]

Granted I’m sure it’ll still be seen, same with drudd cause they’re just really good

[lofty nest]

Tbf tcg pocket decks are like way smaller than normal tcg

But fair

Is normal tcg 40 or 60 cards

[neon temple]

60

[lofty nest]

Makes sense cause energies

I wonder if I can build a deck from just all of the bulk and stuff I’ve collected

I probably could but I’m sure it would be ass

[neon temple]

prob wouldn't even be that bad

[uneven valley]

Can be both, but standard is 60 as mentioend above

[neon temple]

look here for ideas
https://limitlesstcg.com/

[uneven valley]

Pre-release events are usually 40 cards

[lofty nest]

Idk how to feel about the fact that I’m kinda tempted to try the real tcg

I’d get smoked tho

[neon temple]

[uneven valley]

Im currently trying to get into it, but i cant find all the cards i need

[lofty nest]

Do they do draft tourneys like MTG

[verbal zinc]

Buying a prebuilt deck to ease into it 🐐

[uneven valley]

That is what pre release tourneys are

You get a partial prebuilt deck and 4 packs. Then you build from that

[verbal zinc]

I also don’t have anyone to play it with

[lofty nest]

Huh

Also yeah same I’d have to go to events

[verbal zinc]

My city don’t even be hosting events

I have like one spot where it could sometimes be played but it’s mostly stuff like warhammer played in there

[lofty nest]

DFW has like everything so I’m sure I could find something

[verbal zinc]

Also semi getting into warhammer 🔥

[lofty nest]

There’s probably stuff in Austin as well which is where I’m about to be moving back to

[neon temple]

good resource
https://events.pokemon.com/en-us/events

[uneven valley]

New pickup fo today

[lofty nest]

noice

[neon temple]

My most recent pickup

[lofty nest]

I want that card so bad

[neon temple]

Been on my wishlist pretty much since I started playing

Thought I'd play it in my GLC deck but the condition is too good

[lofty nest]

It’s pretty valuable

[neon temple]

Might have to get another one that is more beat up

Paid 125€ for it

[lofty nest]

Oh jesus

[neon temple]

Most of what I got for the N's Zoroark I sold

[lofty nest]

Idk about over there but it’s def not worth THAT much in the US

It’s worth like $94/83€ here

[neon temple]

Condition matters a lot

An EXC copy would be around 70€ here

[lofty nest]

Even for near mint you wouldn’t see it for more than $100

The card is peak tho…

[neon temple]

Definitely is

Shame a gem mint copy goes for over a thousand

[lofty nest]

PLEASE just give me a regular tinkaton ex bro is the ONE card I have left

I’m being taunted

[rigid kraken]

how many pack points are you at?

[lofty nest]

200 smtn but the next set drops in like a week so I might just wait for trades

[signal minnow]

Oh well I've got 3 of them idk the rules for trading tho so I've no idea what I can give

[fluid matrix]

You have to trade equal rarity

The only other like "rule" is that you cant trade the most recent set, so you cant trade shining revelry cards till tonight

[full kayak]

holy cow

[fluid matrix]

Holy shit

2 giritina immersives on the last day before the new set

Crazy

[full kayak]

insane

.0020%

[lofty nest]

[stone void]

there was no need for all that 😭

i think the game wants me using it

[lofty nest]

I gotta farm all the battles lol

wait they're actually giving out so many hourglasses

[stone void]

the rayquaza solo evbent is insane

30 per level

120 easy

then theres also the other solo player battles for the new set

which gives a ton too

[lofty nest]

• all the other solo battles + the season missions + ranked rewards

crazy

all these pulls and I'm still gonna be missing 1/3rd of the dex at the end lmao

[stone void]

• the special challenges

and shop refresh in a day

[lofty nest]

yup

[stone void]

yeah idk theres so many in the new set

155 is wild

[lofty nest]

same as STS I think

or around there

makes sense for a new major set

[stone void]

yeah but ||now theres also still shinies to collect||

so it will actually feel a lot bigger

[lofty nest]

true but idrc about that lol

[stone void]

fair enough

[lofty nest]

I just want the dex

and some cool arts

I'm just gonna be watching shit while my phone autobattles lol

I wish I didn’t double take on that second one bc I didn’t think there would be more

but the first 2 are sooooo fire

[lofty nest]

oh damn I didn't see that one either

cool

[signal minnow]

i didnt know they were running shiny mons again

[finite quail]

I got a rental deck from genetic apex because of it lmao

[fluid matrix]

Dude so much of this shit is so hype

I cant wait to start pulling and hit nothing 🔥

[broken creek]

Me. I got no ex cards and I pulled like 20 packs

[blazing forum]

i did two 10 pack pulls and didn’t get much but here’s what i did get (turtonator was x2)

also you’ll never believe what my very first pull from the rayquaza event was LMAO i never struggle to get the big one with these events

[fluid matrix]

||first 10 pull wasnt a miss lets goooooo||

Well shit idk how to spoiler images on my phone

Also im so sad mimikyu and pallosand are fuckin horrible

I wanted acerola to be usable

[fluid matrix]

2nd 10 pull just 2 monke's

[fluid matrix]

Bro this machamp counted for the generic apex highlight card for the machamp deck which i apparently didnt have

[fluid matrix]

3rd 10 pull just 3 1 stars, i knew i was gettin less of those than usual

[fluid matrix]

LETS GO WONDER PICK I GOT THE SOLGALEO RAINBOW RARE

Wonder pick consistently saving my account

[full kayak]

[fluid matrix]

"above 3 star"

Surely you meant diamond

[full kayak]

diamond

[fluid matrix]

I was bout to say if youre pulling an immersive and youre disappointed youre rivaling wally luck

[full kayak]

tbf i pulled 2 immersives yesterday so i can't really complain about getting shit luck today

[fluid matrix]

I just hit a banger for my 4th 10 pull today

3 1 stars, a 2 star, an EX, and a 1 star shiny

[full kayak]

noice

[lofty nest]

all my packs today were ass

[blazing forum]

[lofty nest]

[finite ice]

10K WOOOOOO

[willow ridge]

LEST FUCKING GOOOOO

CHASE CARD PULLED

[signal minnow]

Might actually be the first wonder pick hit in over a month and the first time ive ever used my hourglasses for it

[willow ridge]

Sheesh

I’m a Solgaleo fan but that Lunala goes insane

[signal minnow]

I also got the full art drampa from my pack which was fire

[willow ridge]

The 1 star right? That was me and my friends first hit too lol

[signal minnow]

Yeah that one

Also I agree the more I see Lunala the more fire it gets

Especially shiny

[willow ridge]

I got 2 shiny machamp EX’s which is a bit disappointing, not very good in battles and a duplicate:(

[signal minnow]

Rip. I got the regular shiny machamp yesterday

I dony battle tho I'm just here to pog at the cards

And feel old when a cart art I remember from my childhood pops up

That's really my favorite part

[willow ridge]

These are my pulls 37 packs in

[willow ridge]

That’s me but I’m young so my childhood is the SM era lol

[signal minnow]

Wigglytuff is the other shiny I got lol those are my only few cards.

Yeah some of these cards are from before you were born which makes me turbo old

[willow ridge]

:3

[signal minnow]

I was pulling this irl

[willow ridge]

I didn’t even know that was reused art

[signal minnow]

There's a lot of them lol

[willow ridge]

Yea

[signal minnow]

I recognize so many. Tho ususally it's like gen 3/gen4 art since that's my main time collecting cards

[willow ridge]

I would collect real cards if could fucking find them

[rigid kraken]

wtf are the shiny odds higher??

[willow ridge]

No clue

[rigid kraken]

thats more shinies than i got all of last set

[willow ridge]

I think I just got lucky

[signal minnow]

Tap I think you're unlucky lowkey

[rigid kraken]

i checked and i think my luck is average

or at least it was

[willow ridge]

Which thank god, until TRIUMPHANT LIGHT I did not get a single Immersive or crown

I still don’t have a crown, I’m a day 1 player

[rigid kraken]

🤝

im not day one actually

i lied

[willow ridge]

Sadge

I was about to send a 🤝

But I must revoke it it seems

[signal minnow]

I was a day 1 player and I dont either but I'm also not trying at all lol

I just move to the new set everytime and rarely look at the old ones

[willow ridge]

True

I’ll go back if there’s a certain card I want but that’s it

I did stop pulling Mythical island basically immediately tho

Set was lowkey ass

[rigid kraken]

i did the calculator and it says my luck is fine, i think its more my dupe luck than anything

[willow ridge]

Can you send the calculator I haven’t used it in a bit

[rigid kraken]

https://porygonthree.github.io/ptcgp-luck-calculator/

[willow ridge]

Thx

[rigid kraken]

this was the one i found

i will say that my luck for this set is starting strong

ive gotten 3 exs so far

[willow ridge]

Aw man there’s no section for shiny cards?

[rigid kraken]

yeah

[willow ridge]

I really wish I had more rainbow borders, those cards are so sick but I only have 3

[lofty nest]

uhh

lmao

wonderpicks are inflating the EX count a bit but like

holy

[lofty nest]

that's a lotta packs god damn

[finite ice]

alot of money wasted

:D

[lofty nest]

me but on irl cards

[blazing forum]

figures

two star luck has always felt good, which is nice bc rainbow border cards are my favorite to get

but my luck for all the really rare stuff is so bad

[fluid matrix]

Man i didnt think i was that far from odds for a god pack

0.3 is crazy

Last 2 days really boosted my numbers man i opened 53 packs since yesterday

[blazing forum]

yeah i was surprised by this

[blazing forum]

i’ve done 3 10 pulls so far with this set

[fluid matrix]

Im 5 in. 3 solgaleo and 2 lunala

I wanna keep pulling solgaleo cause i like the lillie more than the guzma and also cause i want leaf cape

Luckily rare candy is in both but i havent pulled a single one in 53 packs 😔

[blazing forum]

same haha

[fluid matrix]

My friend just downloaded the game and needs to finish the add friends quest can someone shoot him a friend request?

7184848130616167

[hoary hornet]

i knew my bad luck wasn't delusional lol

not sure how approximately rare shinies are, if they're comparable to 1-2* cards or not

[willow ridge]

You have half my packs but double my 3 stars and a crown…

https://tenor.com/view/war-vietnam-ptsd-shell-shock-moment-gif-3022747568394546158

[fluid matrix]

Apparently the sneak peek event is supposed to come back on May 5th

[blazing forum]

[blazing forum]

[violet grotto]

Anyone able to trade to give me these 4 cards

[fallen sparrow]

@fluid matrix @sand wigeon

I'm so good

[fluid matrix]

no mental is secretly good sometimes bro

in any game i fear the man that doesnt know what he is doing more than the man that thinks he does

[fallen sparrow]

especially coming from the person you expect to have mental

[finite ice]

BROOOO

WHAT IS MY LUCK 1ST PACK OF THE DAY

[west copper]

bruxish carrying the pack

[fluid matrix]

how many packs have you opened from this set?

[finite ice]

less then 50

or close to 50

[fluid matrix]

Dang

Not even whaling for that one just lucky

[blazing forum]

that’s insane

[lofty nest]

My wonderpicks are always either no EXs or it’s the few I already have I swear

[fluid matrix]

had the chance to pull 2 star lunala earlier but sadly missed

Figured I should take it even though i wanna save for sneak peek cause seeing 2 stars in wonder pick is so rare

[blazing forum]

i agree you always should go for 2 stars

[novel crescent]

Went to a card con and made some very responsible financial decisions

[whole grove]

is this enough for naneinf

[novel crescent]

I think it might be

[novel crescent]

Oh yea 153/190 on journey togehter

[fluid matrix]

I havent seen a single JT pack since release

ive checked so much

[novel crescent]

Yeaaa i payed $50 more at the con

But whatever

[fluid matrix]

i mean it seems like you got a lot of packs

if im interpretting these pics right

[novel crescent]

36 come in a booster box

So yes :D

16 hits so not to bad

[lofty nest]

I love the friends cards they’re always nice

[novel crescent]

Me too thats why i got them

[fluid matrix]

Another zoroark card i could pull for

[fluid matrix]

[blazing forum]

sorryyyy

happy to trade a different one star if you have the tokens for it

[fluid matrix]

Do you have a dragonite 1 star?

[finite ice]

i need that one still

[fluid matrix]

If you dont have dragonite my next ones to look for would be shinx or tangrowth. Either one would put me to 1 more left on that museum

[finite ice]

my golds and shiny ex's

i wish i didnt have this i want my money back

[lofty nest]

no dupes is lucky at least

[blazing forum]

i dont have a dragonite to trade and i dont have tangrowth at all unfortunately but i have shinxes to trade

[fluid matrix]

Im down for shinx

That sets me up to get tangrowth later

[blazing forum]

great! i’m down for that

[finite ice]

i nat pulled everything but the charizard

used pack points for the bih

[lofty nest]

ah

[finite quail]

I think you’ve pulled more packs than people who get paid to pull tons of packs

[finite ice]

:(

2k packs almost

[jaunty shadow]

Haven't opened any packs in a week and pull this on second pack back 🩵

I STILL NEED CELEBI IMMERSIVE THO

[fluid matrix]

Pulled 2 arceus immersives at the start of triumphant light and havent gotten one since

Got tangrowth from another friend though so another museum done lets goooo

[blazing forum]

ty goat for being understanding about me backing out from the first offer, i still feel bad about that 😭

but less so since it helped you get this!

[fluid matrix]

Np i get it

[stone void]

first good hit in WAY too many packs 😭

[novel crescent]

doing better than me

[modest pine]

got enough hourglasses to do a 10 pack

[finite ice]

imo more people here need to record their 10 packs

[hoary hornet]

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT

First god pack, only took like 700 pulls

[finite ice]

DAMN

ggs

[modest pine]

its fun

[signal minnow]

I only ever 10 on a new set

But if I remember next time I might just do it

[blazing forum]

wow you got some good stuff from that one too!

[rigid kraken]

solgaleo or lunala

[modest pine]

lunala

the guzma card looks cool, i havent seen the IR animation yet saving myself till i get it

[rigid kraken]

oh wow good call

[modest pine]

hell yeah

[fluid matrix]

Im burning through wonder hourglassss so fast i think i gotta slow down

Been picking a ton of 1 stars

[blazing forum]

not a bad idea though

but yeah you can run through them so quickly if you’re not careful

hey can anyone trade me triumphant light gastly (1 diamond)? last thing i need for the arceus emblem and the completionist in me is so unsatisfied

[hoary hornet]

👋

[novel crescent]

Finally some decent cards god damn

[jaunty shadow]

Holy bingus

[fluid matrix]

Another museum done

[blazing forum]

my goat 🙏 ty ty

[digital quartz]

Woah

[verbal zinc]

[fluid matrix]

I want one of the trainer immersives so bad

I havent gotten one since arceus, surely

[digital quartz]

The pulls I've gotten for this pack have been very odd so far

[signal minnow]

Open a full art and a shiny in my two packs. These are also the first 2 packs ive open that have no new cards

[lofty nest]

Same lol

[radiant harness]

Pretty good pulls from new set ngl

[fluid matrix]

god damn

how many packs in are you?

for this set

[stone void]

got this hit from a 10 pull 🔥

considering I wanna make a deck with decidueye this is peak

[fluid matrix]

the rainbow rare is so peak

[stone void]

ikr

this is the deck I brainstormed up, I think it has quite a bit of potential

the only semi inconsistent thing about it is sometimes having to put an energy on darkrai to deal early damage before stacking energy on decidueye

meaning it takes an extra turn to output 100-120

if I can make it more consistent I think it could be really good

I was thinking maybe putting in a giratina ex and a second dawn but idk what I would remove to allow for that

maybe like 1 potion and a darkrai ex

thoughts?

[fluid matrix]

yeah i think you probably dont need 2 darkrai

honestly i probably drop guzma

[stone void]

yeah, the main concept is that I’m only using pierce the pain on decidueye

I’m not using the other move

since the deck is solo dark energy

[stone void]

yeah I wanted to use guzma as a possible wild card but maybe I don’t need it

[fluid matrix]

actually on second thought maybe you do need 2 darkrai

you literally cant do anything without a darkrai

[stone void]

yeah that’s what I was saying which is why I’m unsure about adding giratina ex

rocky helmet is there for an emergency where I can’t top deck a darkrai or deck sifters or anything

if I could even use something for an extra energy on 1 singular turn it would be so good

I’ll experiment with removing the guzma and a potion

and using a giratina ex and a second dawn

[stone void]

I’ve won 10/11 comp games in a row with this deck

it’s in low elo (poke ball tier) but all against real players

the only one I lost was where my opponent got so unbelievably lucky and I didn’t top deck anything good until the end of the game

this is the deck if anyone wants to try it

giratina turn 1 with a dawn allows for 2nd turn attacks with either darkrai, or decidueye if ur lucky enough to top deck everything

darkrai does chip dmg for decidueye to use pierce the pain (120 dmg or 140 for weakness)

rocky helm is a backup for decidueye to attack if u dont get darkrai all match

leaf cape and lillie is to make decidueye an unkillable tank, potion for darkrai or giratina if needed

[novel crescent]

chat i fucking did it

i got a fucking gold card

and its sick as fuck

[stone void]

HOLY SHIT

congrats!!!

[novel crescent]

[finite ice]

WOAH

[novel crescent]

my reaction AHAH

[finite ice]

i have the other guy gold

but i want this mf

it looks so god damn good

[sand wigeon]

congrats

thats a huge pull

[violet grotto]

I’m looking for my last two cards in 10 packs being the 3 grey crystal thing goldhendo or a 4 grey crystal thing beedrill not the rarest card there but I’ll take that any day

[lofty nest]

Having a lot of fun with infernape rare candy

140 damage turn 2

If you go second

I didn’t realize you get this for 50 wins

[mighty badger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J6NLeoUN4w

[blazing forum]

yeah just got this today myself

[stone void]

LETS GOOOOOO

It was the third card in the pack somehow 😭

[fluid matrix]

bro the luck just does not stop

I keep thinking it is gonna run dry

maybe the odds are upside down in australia or something

[modest pine]

Rahhhh

Glad I waited to see that animation

That was sick

[willow ridge]

Anyone have a GA Greninja they can trade

[fluid matrix]

Bro i didnt know greninja was from genetic apex

[willow ridge]

Me neither lol

[stone void]

does anyone have a genetic apex greninja they can trade?

[willow ridge]

Bruh 😭

[stone void]

omg I can’t read

mb

[willow ridge]

lol

No one’s reached out to me either..

[stone void]

😭

[willow ridge]

It’s the last one I need

[fluid matrix]

Most people probably do cause greninja was a promo pack reward at some point so everyone has usable copies

[lofty nest]

I’ll have to check cause I use him in decks

Yeah I only have 2 rip

[blazing forum]

yeah what blob is saying is that since we got promo greninjas people don’t need their extras

[lofty nest]

I didn’t get any of the promos 😭

[blazing forum]

ah…

[lofty nest]

First rainbow card of the set

Maybe I should make a deck with him

Now this, is epic

[blazing forum]

one day chat 😭

[novel crescent]

i pulled another lillies immersive art

[fluid matrix]

Im gonna be busy for like 5 hours so i might not respond immediately but anyone willing to trade me 1 star sudowoodo?

[fallen sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/live/ySEMEFq5aZE?si=ilJM3VjDacYeY374

[lofty nest]

[verbal zinc]

You are NOT getting the cards

[lofty nest]

It’s actually so over

[fluid matrix]

I wish i could bold philip for that

Im busy literally every saturday until like late june

Ive got no shot

[lofty nest]

Destined Rivals drops on a Friday

get stuff online now

[fluid matrix]

I also have this new thing called a job

Its new to most of the card collecting community

[lofty nest]

real and true

[fluid matrix]

Yeah ive been seeing this, joined a discord to hopefully get pinged for drops cause idk when they come

Im only really interested in journey together and the black and white set rn though

Just wanna pull a cool zoroark

[lofty nest]

the black and white set is insane

shit is gonna be impossible to find irl

[fluid matrix]

Real

Apparently it was super easy to preorder online and i still missed it

It was up for like 4 hours on pokemon center

[lofty nest]

yeah a friend of mine got one of each

[fluid matrix]

I woulda bought both if i knew

[lofty nest]

next set I'll probs order online if it's interesting

[fluid matrix]

But also the wifi at my work blocked the pokemon center so i have to use data and my data sucks there, like idk if itd even be possible cause they drop on fuckin weekdays at like 11

Unless i like worked from home for it but i dont tend to know its coming
