what rank is everyone and what is the main deck your using?
I havent been battling that much but so far I havent lost a game with oricorio/magnezone
I have however been losing with rampardos/lucario
and i think im about 50/50 with dialga/arceus
all that in like high great ball cause like i said i havent been battling that much
lofty nest
Great ball 3 cause that’s where I placed after last season
I’m running weird decks and winning like 50% of the time tho lol
Yuh
stone void
I havent been battling that much but so far I havent lost a game with oricorio/m...
yeah I’ve seen a bit of oricorio magnezone, only downside is that it could potentially be really bad against a non ex deck list
I’ve been brainstorming some deck lists of my own, none of them would definitely be meta but all of them have strong suits for sure
lemme drop them in case anyone wants to try them out
this bastiodon deck is my favourite out of the 3
I’ve been experimenting with using snorlax and Barry’s instead of skarmory and replacing adaman and 1 tool
but I haven’t seen much success with it
however the bastiodon deck as it is has seen a surprising amount of success
very coin flippy ofc but given on avg u get -100 dmg 50% of the time, add adaman and Lillie’s and both bastiodons become absolute tanks
you also get a skarmory at the start guaranteed which is rly nice
(for reference I am ultra ball 1, almost at 2)
given u get odds of -100 50% of the time, bastiodon will last at least 2 turns against pretty much every mon in the game, not including extra luck and healing
which is minimum of 160 output against ex’s which ko’s majority of them
lofty nest
Some decks I been running
the acerola one isn't particularly amazing but I love her so I will make her deck work on god
plus it's a very fun gimmick
I wish there were more mons that blended well with it
stone void
Some decks I been running
ooh the acerola one looks interesting, quick q with the arceus, why have 2 golbats?
I feel like only having 1 would be better
since u have double comm and double candies
unless u thought abt that alr
lofty nest
ooh the acerola one looks interesting, quick q with the arceus, why have 2 golba...

although I guess there arent that many pokemon hitting in the 70-80 range now that i think about it

@lofty nest think i just secured a booster box of journey together online 🎉
Literally the first time ive been able to buy some since release
fluid matrix
Smoke and Mirrors
Double checked that it was reputable and it seemed like it was so i just said fuck it and bought it
And it was msrp i think? Basically just at the price youd get for buying 36 booster packs individually so seemed alr to me
Idk if booster boxes would come discounted if you bought em on like the pokemon center or something cause ive never seen em
lofty nest
And it was msrp i think? Basically just at the price youd get for buying 36 boos...
How much was it?
fluid matrix
It was 180. So 5 bucks per pack
lofty nest
That’s pretty solid then yeah
fluid matrix
Yeah i thought so
The goal is an N's Zoroark rare card
My odds probably arent good but here's hoping
lofty nest
Any of them at all isn’t tooo unreasonable

Id be pretty happy with iono cards too

I saw that shit when i tilted the cards and I just said "no fuckin way"
stone void
i didnt even know you could get the one from the opposite pack
I’m pretty sure u can only get the cover art gold from god packs
ie if u get a god pack from solgaleo and u get a gold it can only be solgaleo
but if u get a gold from a normal solgaleo pack it can be either of them
stone void
gonna ask again but just wondering if anyone has a spare genetic apex greninja
if u do it would be appreciated

Rip bro
Playing a deck that actually does well going first lol
If I get arceus + crobat turn 2 it’s free 80
Tho it doesn’t happen too crazy often

Also this deck has been showing me a lot of promise
My winrate this season has been atrocious but this deck is helping minimize the damage lol

Been seeing a lot of interesting decks this season and i think I have oricorio to thank
Got people to look at non-ex options more
Ive been having so much fun with the silly bird cause I know if i can kill their non-ex attackers without losing one of my birds i just win

yeah ive seen that variation and its seen some success
but im using carnivine too which i forgot to mention
solo grass energy
lofty nest
nope
lofty nest
maybe I'm just at the ass rank
lofty nest
what's his ability do
stone void
so it can put a bunch of early game pressure on the opp
then if u have carnivine in front
crobat in the back with arceus
u deal 80 per turn while stacking arceus
lofty nest
yeah wild
stone void
and if u have a bad start u quite literally sack whatever 2 basics u need to get arceus out with 3 energy
normally 1 carnivine 1 zubat
lofty nest
I think darkrai is a little more fun
stone void
yeah probs
lofty nest
plus gives you more room for bigger damage stuff
stone void
but i wanna get to masterball fast

I am not grinding to masterball lmao

how much are you playing

a decent amount
whenever im doing something chill or at my pc ill just be doing battles at the same tyime
lofty nest
I see
stone void
- when i was using darkrai giratina i had a span of 6 games in a row
where the enemy used hard counter decks
which were practically an instant loss
at least there isnt really a hard counter for arceus crobat carnivine
yet
lofty nest
ik that arceus crobat gets beat up by fighting type real bad but ig with carnivine it's less bad
stone void
yeah carnivine can 1 shot ground type gible which can sometimes be an instant win against garchomp ex
plus hits for weakness on rampardos

except this is probably better odds than actually gambing

y’all think playing ranked is worth? i’ve dabbled a couple times in previous modes for the medal but i don’t know if i want to grind it
stone void
spoilers ahead if u haven’t seen the new trailer or leaks
but || ultra necrozma ex ||
|| that and guzzlord ex will easily reshape the meta massively imo ||
stone void
y’all think playing ranked is worth? i’ve dabbled a couple times in previous mod...
I suggest getting to ultra ball 1 no matter what
if you get on a win streak you blitz through lower ranks with the extra points
you barely lose anything
plus UB1 gives like 70-75 hourglasses at the end of the season
it gives 75
but only go past UB1 if u really want to
cause then u don’t get extra points for win streaks
it’s just so nice to get so many hourglasses
if u have some already that’s pretty much a 10 pack for the next set
for free
golden holly
plus UB1 gives like 70-75 hourglasses at the end of the season
oh god that’s so worth, thank you

but || ultra necrozma ex <:horrorifyingphillep:1179402021493821530> ||
It’s so funny
Haven’t looked at the other ones yet
stone void
It’s so funny
I feel like ||that was designed for the sole purpose of nerfing rare candies|| and ||guzzlord ex’s small attack does the same thing as team rocket grunt (discarding energies)||
lofty nest
I feel like ||that was designed for the sole purpose of nerfing rare candies|| a...
wait yeah that looks gross
||tho it's not really gonna stop you from building on the bench but still kinda wild||
is it just me or does this look insane
it's a basic and can stack
stone void
is it just me or does this look insane
yeah, maybe ||combine that with like an alolan muk ex for more effects, clodsire ex or weavile ex and it could be pretty deadly||
lofty nest
yeah, maybe ||combine that with like an alolan muk ex for more effects, clodsire...
||if you use toxicroak's toxic poison with 2 of those guys out that's 40 damage per poison tick ||
stone void
holy shit true
lofty nest
||gets smoked by arceus but like every other deck is gonna have a lot of trouble dealing with it if they don't have pokemon center lady or smtn else for status effects||
lofty nest
ye
stone void
well
imagine 1 of those in active and 1 in the bench
with ||serperior too||
as long as you have 1 energy on each you can always output the large attack
then on the next turn retreat to the other one
stone void
since ||even tho they have 2 energy retreats serperior makes it only one||
only downside is slightly poor hp
lofty nest
yeah and relies heavily on getting the other mon
stone void
but ||leaf cape can be used on it so that’s not too bad||
lofty nest
but like if you get the right pulls then it's huge
lofty nest
ye
stone void
then have 2 of the big one
and 1 line maybe 2 with 1 stage 1
rare candies
I feel like it could be consistent
and honestly maybe even ||shaymin too for 10hp healing||
and ||erikas + pokemon centre ladies||
I feel like u could make the big ones absolute tanks despite the hp
lofty nest
there's also ||celesteela who lets you swap ultra beasts for free so you don't even need serp with her but it would cost more energy||
stone void
yeah but also ||serp allows buzzwole to attack with 2 energy instead of 3, I feel like it’s not very good having to put 3 on it||
lofty nest
not sure it would work as well with that but it might go crazy with ||guzzlord||
stone void
especially if u go first
stone void
not sure it would work as well with that but it might go crazy with ||guzzlord||
potentially
where that one would be in solely to tank or use the lower cost move
stone void
possibly?
I was thinking of maybe like ||tapu koko ex and an electric magnezone line without magneton||
where the big one stacks energy
then u could use ||dawn to pivot them if needed||
I feel like ||shiinotic is gonna see some play, even in non psychic decks||
but yeah the meta looks very interesting
lofty nest
I feel like ||shiinotic is gonna see some play, even in non psychic decks||
||yeah true cause it lets you pull non-basics||
lofty nest
yup
makes ||stage 1s more viable||
only downside is that ||shiinotic isn't a basic so you can't search turn 1||
lofty nest
Feebas is huge

@lofty nest I watched a video brainstorming combos with the new set and one I saw was very interesting
it was ||ultra necrozma ex, giratina ex, and lunala ex with solo steel energy||
||idea being u just have giratina in the back stacking energies, u can use lunala to put them on necrozma while u just put steel energies on it||
lofty nest
it was ||ultra necrozma ex, giratina ex, and lunala ex with solo steel energy||
Wait that’s crazy
Does lunala work on bench?

allows you to pivot psychic energy from any pokemon to the active

Or do you mean that its harder to get en cards in the first place

Ah
For me its about pulling the card, how much someone is willing to pay for it is like kinda a sign of rarity but also just what people like more
Cause like Lillie's Clefairy is more expensive than N's Zoroark but thats just cause people like Lillie's card more not cause its a rarer pull out of packs

Their prices seem to be either msrp or just only slightly above. But like 10 bucks over msrp on a 170 dollar booster box isnt making me lose my mind
fluid matrix
Same with 5 over msrp for those premium collections. Like i was already gonna drop 40, i dont mind dropping 45
lofty nest
Man I can’t wait to get one blister consolation cause they’re gonna run out before I get there
fluid matrix
Yeahhhhhh
lofty nest
Tho I have no idea how much stock they got so we’ll see
fluid matrix
I dont know if i can justify stepping away from work for the next drop to get like 5 white flare packs at best
Lol, lmao even
lofty nest
Yup
fluid matrix
Apparently the best buy app is just ran by bots entirely, like humans stand no chance
fluid matrix
I think botting is probably shit at like gamestop, target, walmart, best buy
lofty nest
Apparently gamestop online isnt that bad but the price jumps suck
Or maybe it’s walmart
fluid matrix
But pokemon center seems fine, and any smaller stores will be fine you just gotta hope they price it right
lofty nest
One of them was doing well iirc
fluid matrix
Actually super impressed with pokemon center's anti botting
lofty nest
For sure
fluid matrix
Totally my fault i didnt get a BW set etb cause it was literally up for 4 hours
I just wasnt in this discord at the time so i had no idea it dropped
lofty nest
YOOOO
They have a TON of stock
I’m guaranteed one
#20 in line and still guaranteed everything (aside from booster box which is chill)
fluid matrix
Yo??
Hype
What are you trying to get? The only cards id really be looking for are the cynthias garchomp and cynthias roserade
Some of the other cards do look sick though like Ethan's ho-oh and team rockets Moltres
lofty nest
I like a lot of stuff but anything rocket grunt related
I want a rocket page in my binder
fluid matrix
Okay wait i actually fuck with this one its so goofy
lofty nest
That’s a funny one
fluid matrix
Honestly i cant wait for them to do a trainer's pokemon set in tcgp
Cause they definitely will eventually
lofty nest
Would be crazy
They’ve already done trainer galleries in the past as well and those are pretty peak
Those and tag teams are some of my favorite cards
fluid matrix
Oh shit they could do tag teams at some point too
Theyre releasing packs every month so i feel like we will get stuff like that eventually
lofty nest
You hit the god damn jackpot
they actually had so much
was allowed to get up to 8 blisters as well but I only took 5
I need misty's psyduck so bad that card is so gorgeous bro
lofty nest
there's a bunch of bangers
this one is sick
the yanma + yanmega combo is sick, I wonder if it'll get a custom border thing
fluid matrix
That spidops is fuckin cool
lofty nest
that's what I'm saying
this set is sick, people are getting too hype over the BW set
granted BW set is also sick
but like
still
we can't forget the best card tho
fluid matrix
this set is sick, people are getting too hype over the BW set
Tbh i wasnt super interested in the team rocket set even before i knew about the BW one
Journey together has my focus so i was like meh for destined rivals
lofty nest
fair
only stuff I want from JT is Iono
but most of the Iono stuff I need now is elsewhere
only one from JT that I don't have is the SIR and kilowattrel
willow ridge
Is there an alolan persian from an older set?
Guess so
fluid matrix
only one from JT that I don't have is the SIR and kilowattrel
Those are like the best ones lmao
Its strange to me that the golden cards are rarer than SIRs but less valuable just cause they dont look as nice
lofty nest
it's kinda funny
I want the SIR really bad
kilowattrel idr care for that much but if I want a full iono page then I need all 9 of her cards lol

Invalid beef, they just gave it to usps lets gooo

Cant believe you got the mistys psyduck too
lofty nest
yeah I was super hype
the mewtwo is big also
since mewtwo is the chase card for most people
the SIR mewtwo is the most expensive by a lot
I wanted Emcee also which is nice
fluid matrix
Sometimes i dont get peoples tastes cause like how is SIR mewtwo more expensive than the moltres bro that card looks so fire
Pun intended
fluid matrix
Cant wait to pull more, full on gambling addiction
lofty nest
real
can't wait to not find anymore
I won't be buying for a bit cause this was definitely a hefty purchase lol
fluid matrix
Last time youll see any pokemon cards in stores till the next drop
lofty nest
might trade some stuff tho
fluid matrix
Oh yknow what, maybe i could go to a trading event and see if anyone pulled gold N's zoroark and wants the iono
Iono is probably more sought after
lofty nest
Iono is probably more sought after

@fluid matrix I may have bought 6 different jirachi cards off of tcg player last night
there's one that I realllly want but it's too expensive so I had to go with the cheaper ones sadge
those 6 cards were still worth less than like most of the iono cards I have left to get 😭
fluid matrix
I had the thought recently that i could try and get all the zoroark cards
After looking into it recently though i was like damn a couple of these are crazy expensive
lofty nest
lemme see what the total market price of all 5 iono cards I have left is
6.19 + 20.43 + 36.96 + 59.27 + 65.73
calm $190
🗿
however
this secret box ace spec card that I have is like
SKYROCKETING in price rn
so maybe I can trade for one of them soon
2 weeks ago it was like $6
now it's at $17
zero clue why it keeps going up
lofty nest
odd
I kinda want to wait and see if it keeps going up but part of me is thinking I should trade it soon
lofty nest
lol
neon temple
odd timing as we don't even know what is going to take over the meta when DRI becomes standard legal 
I guess Gardevoir ex falling off is unlikely
and every Garde ever plays Secret Box

so you may be able to get something

ah ok?
why the hell would they be leaving them there
I thought the scalpers grab everything and anything
fluid matrix
always something along the lines of "no super big chase cards in JT"
so the price of reselling it has gone down a lot
no money to be made, no scalpers

hmmm true that
which would be good
since I could get one at msrp
cause in Australia especially any resellers I see selling for like at least double the price
destined rivals etb’s release at stores tmr so I might check shops out then

This deck is kinda nasty hold up
Assuming I have the full build up, they’re forced to either swap to the bench or take 200 damage in 2 turns lol
Makes fighting constant swap decks kinda hard but other than that it’s rlly solid
Since u can rotate absol and toxicroak every turn without going negative on energy since they’re both 1 retreat cost
Does get kinda counted by buzzwole tho

dude sometimes it’s impossible to get the one (or two or three or four etc) cards you need
like sometimes i’ll be like “okay if i draw celesteela, or a pokeball to get celesteela guaranteed, or even a professor oak to probably get one of those cards i win”
and then it’s the one card left in my deck that makes me lose
but that’s odds for you
