Is this a Snorlax making shrimp fried rice, or is this Snorlax fried rice?

Will you be able to sacrifice fossils to Red Gyarados?

>>58031810
a shrimp fried those rice

>>58031903
They technically count as pokemon when on bench so yes. If it works then Gyarados will be broken

>>58031800 (OP)
Just missing snorlax ex, and I'll have every diamond card in the game.
I have wonder picked for this fucker 8 times now, getting sneak peak twice, and failed to get it every time.
Release me from the hell.

>>58031944

be at peace, brother, for I have extras and will trade you next set if you still need

>lyra
>choose 1 of your pokemon, shuffle it and all cards attached to it into your deck

>lyra it back so you can do it again later while also removing the brick from your bench
is this a fucking joke?

Anyone got a spare Mismagius EX laying around? Lemme know what you need in return and I'll let you know what I got.

Alternatively

People be babbling about the fucking double colorless or some shit but at this point who cares, rare candy just fucking ruined this game anyway.

what happens if i lyra with no card on the bench

>>58032412
auto lose
same like discarding the sole fossil on your field

We gonna get an ethan typhlosion trainer card right bros?

>>58032373
You can play double and rare candy. RC should have been a supporter.

If we don't get a god tier meta-defining Scizor Ex, we've all agreed to quit and uninstall the game in protest.

>>58032433
RC should've not fucking been a thing.

>>58032441
This but Slowking. Water has been dormant for too long.

>>58032061
I have one 5868236639154104

need

are we getting mega charizard x in the mega pack?

>>58032451
Different anon, you want a celebi ex for that arceus ex?

>>58032460
sure

He's never going away isn't he

>>58032441
Since they normally make cards that counter the previous set, I'd say it's very likely that a steel type would get the EX treatment.
I'm kinda hoping that Scizor deals bonus damage for every card added to the opponent hand or something.

>>58032465
Thanks

>>58032449
Assuming they don't make Slowpoke line Psychic again.

I got a fat fuck while washing the dishes

>>58032474
It's a crusher so it'll discard cards from the opponent's hand.
>>58032499
Yeah they probably will. Kingdra will do then. Surely they won't do anything stupid like making it dragon type.

>>58032451
not really looking for anything, but I'd happily throw you some aeros since I got more than 1 full arts of em
7375512969721220

>>58032451
crabo for alolan dug? I'm already on your friends list

I hope steelix and amphy get an EX

>>58032526
i'm all out of trade tokens. I accepted friend request and will trade with you at the end of the month hopefully

>>58032451
Original guy here, just added ya under Matsuringo, I'll toss you a crab ex when your trade queue is ready.

>>58032576
Disregard that saw someone offered above, I'll toss you aerodactyl ex or infernape ex.

>>58032575
shoot me a trade when you got the tokens then, I'll just be hangin around these threads for the next long while

Anyone else's game keep crashing on boot up?

>>58032582
trade fell through. i'll do an aerodactyl or crab if you're still game?

>>58032600
I'm logged in right now actually, go for it if you want. (this is the triple aero anon)

>>58032604
sent. i'm starting to think the app is really fucking shit and slow though

>>58032451
Aight sent you over an infernape for the mismagius

>>58032619
ty

>>58032599
B&

>>58032641
No because I can log in after it crashes initially

I really cbf playing any ranked game this season, they went so fucking wild with the powercreep and the game is not even one year old
Just opening packs of cards I will never use because they're not part of the 10 viable meta decks is getting old very fast, crazy to think I've been playing and enjoying master EX for 5 years and I'm already getting bored of this one after less than a year, way to ruin a perfectly good game for a powercreep that does not even make them more money because none of the meta cards are actually hard to get

>>58032721
>10 viable meta decks
Thats way too generous.

>>58032721
This game is too stingy on pulls for how barebones it is. It's always a shitty feeling when you spend a week getting nothing above 2 diamonds and the occasional (duplicate and shitty) 3d.

>lose because played first
>lose because played first
>lose because played first
>lose because solgaleo deck with perfect hand turn 1
>lose because played first
MAN WHAT AN AWESOME GAME

>>58032539
>>58032451
still up for this? unless you ran out of trade tokens/got it already from someone else

I only play because I get to collect funny cards, I can't imagine actually playing this disaster though

>>58032789
GIVE ME THE SHINY CHARIZARD

>>58032789
>celebi instead of dialga
nice cope I guess

>>58032804
>he got the joke
I'm glad someone did since I'm not going back to roll a 3-star dialga

I will for leaf though I gotta complete the meme

Wait ho oh is going to generate fucking 3 energies? And you RETARDS are still calling it bad when it's op as fuck and after you called ultrabeasts bad and eevees bad?

for every double digit in this thread, the chance to get double special energy increase by 5%

>>58032826
I think it's pretty obvious that you're supposed to use Ho-oh to power up Lugia. I think the only question is how you're getting 3 energies on Ho-oh

>>58032826
Anything this thread says is bad is guaranteed to actually be good.

>>58032838
The same way you're getting 3 energies on buzzwhole darkrai or any mon?

>>58032847
Buzzwole has lusamine and use kartana and pheromosa as the early game frontliners. What is Ho-Oh going to do?

>>58032847
And guess what, by that time, Silvally killed your shitmon

>>58032568
>ampharos
i hope so, it would be the first three stage lightning mon
>steelix
i have a feeling it will be a regular card that interacts with Jasmine one

>>58032847
Those are endgame Pokemon. Ho-oh is not an endgame Pokemon. It needs another setup mon in front of it, and if that setup mon dies, then Ho-oh becomes a liability that will lose you the game instead of a setup mon for Lugia.

Looking For:
>3 diamond

6569-1552-7999-8433

I have reached a point where i don't give a shit about the ''competive'' scene in this game, i just wanna see my johtobros get good cards.

>>58032874
and by that i mean good-looking, especially natu/xatu!

>>58032877
I hope there's a full art Xatu.

>>58032897
sure, but it'll be a 90 hp 1 energy 40 damage with 0 retreat cost

>>58032917
That's fine. I don't expect it to be a good card, I just want the cool art.

>>58032918
just don't heal, noob

>>58032868
Let's trade palkia for absol

The trailer is late.

>>58033021
Nice trade, thanks friend!

>>58032785
You should try using a deck that benefits going first. Something like zeraora, giratina or jolteon if based

WHERE IS THE TRAILER AAAAAAAAAAAA

>>58032753
Even if the game was showering me with crown and rainbow cards on a weekly basis I still wouldn't care because they still wouldn't be usable in-game and all they would do is sit in my virtual binder. Cards are for playing, if the game gives me a card and then punishes me for using it when it gets one-shot on turn 6 by silvally then it's not a nice feeling. I guess it's me and some people do get enjoyment purely out of collecting pixels though.

>>58032753
I spent 3 weeks getting nothing but shitty 2 or 3 diamonds, and occasionally shitties 1 star dupes, feels like absolute garbage, still don't have eevee ex or sylveon ex after 60 packs

>>58033076
The best cards in the game are always EX, you're not even getting close to something playable when you get nothing but pack filler for a month.

To anyone thinking that ho-oh will be a good card:
Dialga and Passimian basically have the same effect and no one uses those shit cards. You will only be using ho-oh in combination with dragonite and lugia and will still probably be mediocre. That's it

leaks doko?

>>58033087
yeah just like buzzwhole and sylveon were going to be mediocre right? dumb faggot

>>58033087
It's way too slow for how little damage it does. It doesn't even have a 100-damage attack like Dialga.

>>58033083
I agree, EX cards aren't that hard to get but sometimes you get unlucky.
Most EX cards don't even get to be meta nowadays though. From EG only sylveon is used in 3/10 decks, flareon also has one meta deck.
In fact you don't even need to open packs to play ranked at this point because of how busted a handful of cards you can easily trade for really are.

>>58033117
this was for >>58032753

what is this mythical silvally I keep hearing about
>t. I barely touch pvp

Holy FVARK

>>58033117
If you don't want to keep playing the same deck for several months in a row, you have to open packs. And it's not unlikely you might get shit for pulls. If not for lucky wonder picks, I wouldn't have either of my Sylveon cards.

>>58033088
Just hack Dena's headquarters

>>58032868
Added
I'll trade a luxray for a celesteel.

>>58033237
I've added you and sent the Celesteela.

>>58032441
Nah, Scizor, if he's there at all, will be underwhelming because he'll eventually get a Mega. Same with Steelix.

>>58033297
Thanks. Had too many of these

>>58033416
Np, thanks for the trade! That completes my dex for EC.

>>58033149
It's a very strong non-EX Normal type Stage 1 (so can be splashed in decks of any type) that ramps perfectly if going second (Basic has a 1 energy attack that deals 20 damage + 20 if you flip heads, stage 1 has a 2 energy attack that deals 50 + 50 if you played a Supporter that turn, something you'll be doing most every turn, so that's a potential 140 damage in 2 turns, more if the Supporter you've played is Giovanni or Red).

It also has a dedicated fishing Supporter in Gladion that draws a random Type:Null or Silvally from your deck, making evolving it into doing 100 damage even easier.

The two core decks with it are pairing it with Rampardos, a very powerful, low-energy cost fossil stage 2, making Type:Null the only Basic in your deck, guaranteeing you finding it for your oppener, and pairing it with Zeraora and Oricorio, Zeraora being able to generate lightning energy at the end of your first turn, meaning you might be able to immediately evolve into Silvally and attack for 100 even if going first with the Supporter Dawn that moves an energy from your bench to your active Pokémon.

>>58033416
can i trade you a mewtwo or some other rare for one of these

>>58033092
That's because people expected Buzzwole to not be able to spam big beat every single turn, except DeNA are fucking niggers and are just allowing this shit to freely shit out 120 damage with zero consequences thanks to Celesteela.

>>58033677
>that's because [retards who don't pay attention to how the game works] expected [retard headcanon]
so tired of retards

>>58033693
Explain to me why the fuck a card that says "This Pokemon cannot use this attack during it's next turn" is allowed to use this attack during it's next turn anyway.

>>58033701
explain to me how this interaction has been in the game since STS and it took you until now to realize it because you're a retard

>>58033730
Yes well I think it shouldn't be allowed, period.

>>58033742
no one cares what your retarded opinion is, retard
didn't ask

>>58033745
Angered the buzzwolefag I see.

Are baby pokemon worth it? In the real tcg you have plenty of prize points to spare.

>>58033754
lol no, it's just going to be a free point for the opponent turn 1

>>58033754
doubtful. like take cleffa for example, it's just a worse eevee. sure you can use its draw turn 1, but you can't actually USE that card yet and then it's liable to get killed turn 2. and for all you know, you're about to get red carded and then you just gave up a point for literally nothing.
at least you can evolve eevee into sylveon and then draw 2 immediately playable cards.

Go fuck yourself

>>58032031
>completely shut down by Gengar EX
It’s shit

>>58033779
1 stars should not be allowed in god packs, what a waste

>charmander can do 30
>typenull can do 30
>eevee can do 30
>buzzwole can do 30
are babies fucked? maybe they will have support idk

>>58033826
tip: even standard basics can do 30 if you put gio in your deck

>>58033826
Unless they make up some random rule where they can attack for free without ending the turn, nah, they will be completely useless.

where the FUCK is the trailer dude

>>58033826
Farfetch'd is back.

This is fucking unbelievable, the only times where I not play first, I face the retarded giratina/greninja deck and the asshole pulls giratina turn 1

>>58033868
GODfetch'd fetch me their SOULS

>>58033911
It's only a matter of time before they make a farfetch'd of each type like they did with kartana...

>>58033918
eh probably, but that's a ways off

but on a different note who the fuck thought it'd be cool to make mid-stage shinies

>They're adding dildos to Poketools

Gardevooir about to see a lot more play in this upcoming meta.

>face stokezard
Oh good thing I have Espeon in my deck...
>Espeon and the two prof. research are on the very bottom of the deck
No at this point, it happening every single fucking match is not fucking random, this is completely rigged.

>>58033973
did they have a rare candy ready to rip by turn 2?

Anon would love this...

>>58033990
Of course they did, alongside the prof. research and the two sylveon ex

>>58033993
Oops...

>>58034004
>dragonite ex but better
In like 5 months, we'll have this kind of shit, don't worry

>>58033634
Already have two copies of mewtwo
Do you have a celesteela?

No trailer?

>>58034242
Dena is mad people leaked the trailer, new set is canceled

>>58034247
Good. We don't need double colorless energy.

>>58033952
It's a scarf

>>58033929
at least that one is cool and usable. the only one i have is machoke, and the colors look stupid compared to yours since it's fighting type and it's green and then has all the shiny bullshit.

and i got 2 shiny starmie ex somehow

>>58034397
imagine seeing the shiny card front just to witness shiny gengar EX or some shit
horrific

This is the first pack out of like the past 200 that I didn’t turn to the side and look at the edges after opening. Pretty cool

>>58034438
>now imagine it happening again

Set being pushed back to the 30th is a bit surprising, guess they're finally getting around to correcting for February throwing things off

>>58034438
I got a full shiny Gastly line, but I wasn't upset because I only had 1 regular Gengar EX.

>>58034477
Sets always come out on the last Wednesday of the month. It's not a delay.

>>58034480
Im glad, will give me a few more days to try and pull the goddamn Eevee EX it's the only card I'm still missing from this set

>>58034438
Why is the snakE looking at me like that?

When does the new set drop?

>>58034609
30th

>>58034438
ironically, in addition to the 2 starmies and machoke, shiny gengar was my third. also blastoise. and that's it. all gay.

>>58031800 (OP)

it's our time... TO SHINE!

No, seriously, 10-year olds nowadays have no idea what a flashlight is, because its function was replace by smartphones.

Johto set can redeem heracross after the last set made him DOA right?

>>58034948
Anything Heracross gets will be balanced around Barry, so either no colorless energy in its attack or they only introduce an ex version

>>58034956

why don't these faggots ever take their top meta decks to ranked? literally a mode made for that, right there on the battle page

>>58035445
Most likely people who are too afraid to risk de-ranking from Ultra Ball, so they play their slop in casual matches instead.

Pallosand bros....we're gonna become meta soon

>Sunflora
>Ability that makes all leaf energies get treated as leaf AND fire energies while it's in play

How do you use this card?

OH MY GOD ENOUGH WITH SILVALLY RAMPARDOS FUCK OFF I'M TIRED OF FACING THIS SHIT EVERY SINGLE MATCH YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE PERFECT HAND TURN 1 EVERY TIME TOO

>got crown eevee bag right as the eevee meta is going to die
Damn.

>>58035561
Wow that's like completely garbage

>>58035540
I mean you can bank on eevee cards being released for a long time, so itll be fine.

>>58035540
It'll be good for Umbreon EX.

>>58035540
Umbreon will be great with it

nigger game

I just want to use jolteon but I can't make a good deck with him.

where are you guys going to make those lists of cards you have to trade and what cards you're seeking? like is there a website i can just select it all and it'll generate the image/list?

0 retreat and 0 attack

Pichu is gonna be crazy

>>58031810
>>58031800 (OP)
Would Snorlax eat Cynthia whole if he could

>>58035785
I use this https://ptcgp-tracker.com/
don't know if its /tcgp/ approved

>>58035793
>cant use it turn 1 because nothing has been discarded
>opponent immediately kills it on their first turn because it only has 30 hp and now you're down one point
DeNA is going to learn the hard way that baby pokemon will never ever work in pocket unless their ability is completely broken. You could remove all of Manaphy's energy requirements (attack and retreat) and it still likely wouldn't see play in this meta.

>>58035834
Theres not enough prize points yeah, unless theres another card that supports baby pokemon that we dont see im not buying into it.

Is there any way to check what cards someone wants/wishlisted? Got a trade offer but have no idea what they want.

>>58035900
They are adding this feature next season

>>58035834
I thought the card said to take from the Energy Zone, not the discard pile.

>>58035741
I got to Masterball with Jolteon+Silvally but it was mostly Silvally that did most of the work. Jolteon can catch a lot of people off guard going turn 1.

>>58035834
What does discard have to do with pichu?

>>58035741
Just wait for the new set
EG Jolteon + Lyra

Why the fuck are they shutting down trading for the next five days? (25th-30th)
>due to the update
The update due on the 29th? What are they too jewish to hand out a free stanima refill???

>>58035963
>I do 60 damage every two turns
t-thanks...

>>58035834
it's free turn 1 ramp.
HOWEVER, zeraora + the new energy switch card is also free turn 1 ramp that doesn't require you to leave fuckass pichu out to die and give up a point turn 2.

>>58035970
And don't forget Lyra shuffle them into your deck so you'll have draw them both again. Have fun!

Anyone have a Carnivine (TL) or Komala to trade? Let me know what you want.

>>58035980
Pichu only pulls from discard.

>>58035996
Where did you see that?

the last time i saw a 4-cost WP was when I was at 1 stamina
curious!

>>58036000
The leaked trailer.

>>58035996
mistranslated, retard.

>10+ WPs
still no primarina, sylveon, or snorlax
I'm getting close to reaching 500 pack points to buy the latter and theve the emblem quick.

Due to my hatred for the "malasada faggot" and the "DEI approved freak" I managed to save 450 clocks. Next set better be good, I need to spent them.

>>58035217
close enough

>>58036050
I forever curse you to never pull any card you actually want

>>58036097
It's fine if he gets the cards he wants, but Hau and Penny need to enter his collection some way

>>58036050
I spent like 20 rolls worth on EG and still have 420 hourglasses right now. What are you doing?

Serious question, has coin flip probability been datamined yet? I'm curious if it's 50% or creatures inc has some long nose tendencies

>>58036148
You could probably watch those 990 damage Celebi coinflip videos and get an average
The one I saw had a difference of +10 heads

>>58033087
Anon. We've been through this song and dance enough times that you should know DeNa knows how to make the "star cards" of the set EXTREMELY fucking broken. Just watch. One of these two things will happen:
>a special energy that lets Ho-oh get online super fast and instantly power up Lugia
>a set of legendary beast cards that exist entirely to turn Ho-oh into a nightmare

>>58036240
>DeNa knows how to make the "star cards" of the set EXTREMELY fucking broken.
Lunalabros...

>>58036245
I think that's the one and only one that hasn't been meta at some point.

>>58036240
>>a special energy that lets Ho-oh get online super fast and instantly power up Lugia
I want this, but so I can power up Arceus quickly.

>>58036248
Charizard was trash at release and needed Rare Candy to fix it.

>>58036240
i just genuinely cannot see it. if there's something to ramp ho-oh super fast like double colorless energy it's going to make silvally disproportionately strong and the meta will be retardedly aggro to the point that ho-oh can't even get its attack off. the deck is also completely fucking dead in the water if you don't draw ho-oh immediately, and drawing ho-oh turn 1 is harder because both mons are ex so you need another brick in the deck to not insta-die to oricorio.
fucking MANAPHY is too slow in the current meta even though it's 1 energy, ho-oh being 3 energy means it's dead on arrival.

>>58036292
>fucking MANAPHY is too slow in the current meta even though it's 1 energy
In the current meta, what cost/amount of energy given should a battery have to not be considered "too slow".
I'm actually curious.

>>58036324
You need at least a 1:50 energy:damage ratio in order to not be shit.

>>58036324
Manaphy isnt slow, its just that its HP is too low. It gets one tapped by so many things.

>>58036292
I can think of one special energy that would completely break Ho-oh, but do very little for Silvally (assuming the evolution restriction isn't there).

>>58036324
Manaphy's problem is mainly the 50HP which makes going first awful since it's going to eat a hit on turn 2 then only get off 1 energy ramp on turn 3 before dying on turn 4. No offensive presence means you may have to run more than 2 other basic Pokemon to ensure you have more attackers to work with, but this also reduces the chances of drawing Manaphy as your starter which is the only role it can play

>>58036339
>I can think of one special energy that would completely break Ho-oh
Only if you had Leaf or Lyra in hand.

>>58035486
What do you even lose from deranking? A couple of hourglasses? Probably get more from spending a dollar in the shop lmao

I feel like deck size limit is overdue, can we have 25 cards already?

>>58036240
>Water/Fire/Electric energy themed deck
>Ho-oh
>Lugia
>Raiko
>Entei
>Suicune

That sounds...awesome...

>>58036324
at this point you could have something give 99 energy for 1 and it would still be too slow and inconsistent to see play. why the fuck would you play something that needs to be ramped when you can just unga bunga with things that can attack as soon as you get them in play like solgaleo or rampardos?

>>58036339
this card would make staraptor insanely fucking strong
between this and barry you'd be all but guaranteed to be able to swing immediately with it
rampardos if you could lead skull fossil

>>58036362
Pride. You don't get to wear that epic Masterball badge next season to show you are le epic gamer next season. That's worth more than a dollar.

>>58036447
>master ball badge
>pride
lmao
i wear my great ball badge with honor, you fags that take this game seriously enough to get master ball are pathetic

lol?

>>58036614
can i have one?

>>58022103
I don't remember sorry...

The match of the century

If they're gonna do any type of Special Energy, it's likely gonna be something like this. Mostly because it's the only type of energy that I can think of that wouldn't let Mr. Vally break the game over its knees due to the effect.

>>58036840
I don't mind the drop in attack power if it means I can prevent the opponent from even attacking for the rest of the game lmao

All i ask from DeNA is that they release a Shuckle profile picture.

Yeah, it's not going to happen.

>>58036873
they should make every card have an icon option in the card item exchange menu

>>58036876
this desu
I'd rather exchange for icons of my favorite mons instead of fucking flairs that I can't even use

>>58036876
Way too generous for the stingy japanese videogame studio, from a stingy japanese fanchise ran by a even stingy japanese company.

is going first really a death sentence?

>>58036882
wouldn't be stingy at all
in fact it'd give whales a reason to hunt down extra copies of their FA waifu to turn into an icon

>>58036886
Not with zeraora/silvally with dawn and giovanni.

Made a few opponents give up after taking their 60HP basics with the furry cat. Attacking with silvally turn 3 is pretty rare but oh so satisfying.

>>58036872
yeah in the physical tcg stalling and retreat locking decks would use DCE to trap the active for zero damage and force a deck out or tie

>>58036886
For a lot of decks sadly.
>>58036901
This deck will also be able to abuse starting with Pichu first

>>58036144
Recovering from the previous sets, the one with Lillie actually made me buy the most cheap (and one time) gold bars package and while I managed to get Lillie's immersive with that, I was OUT of hourglasses.

>>58036004
oh wow and the FA dragonite ex shows up again right after I waste 3 WP

>>58036901
This still relies on having a perfect starting hand. With a time sensitive 4 card combo.

>>58037329
Silvally decks always have a perfect starting hand

>>58036886
With Baby Pokemon releasing, going first will now make you the winner

>>58037301

>>58037697
>shuffle the opponent's gamewinning supporter back into the deck
>he draws the second one next turn anyway

>>58037684
Wasn't the original leak in Italian?
Did everyone just Google Lens the fucking trailer and no Italian player even in the Discord servers gave a correct translation?

>>58037626
Where do you get all this god pack wondertrades?

>>58037704
better than nothing. You will lose to Cyrus/ Sabrina so if you have a chance to have either shuffled it will save you

>>58037684
Because the og text was unreadable

>>58037706
Probably, but the quality was also awful.

>>58037684
So this means special energy isnt coming? Thank fucking god.

Special Energy bros...

>>58037708
I think that's my first one, only other one was a demigod pack and I think I missed on it

>>58037684
Go look the leaked trailer, you can't read shit for the trainer cards

>Lyra can help all the "can't attack next turn" shitmons

>Double Colorless Energy was bullshit all along
Torterra bros it's so over...

>>58037717
Its so easy to make up shit on this site and retards from all corners of Reddit+Twitter will believe it. Genuinely didn't think anyone would take my support shitpost with the guise of translating it (It was pretty much fucking impossible given the blur it was btw) seriously, but here we are.

I guess the tre dogs/cats/whatever they are will somehow offer acceleration to Ho-Oh otherwise it's utter trash

>>58037747
>ex cards to fuel ex cards to fuel ex cards

New Wishlist feature is coming where you choose a card of your choice and will get it eventually. Very good QoL feature added to get those last remaining cards you havent pulled

>give up one point just for a turn 1 energy ramp
Will anyone really use this?

>>58037757
>and will get it eventually
I absolutely refuse to believe DeNA would ever do anything this generous.

>>58037762
>basic
Is only the Pikachu from this set going to evolve from Pichu? or are they going to be completely pointless?

>>58037762
Scarf it retard. Seems like it was made specifically for Baby mons.

>>58037766
its a Wishlist so you will get it

>>58037757
Anon it says "trade wishlist" right there in the post what are you talking about?

>>58037768
Nothing about scarf's language suggests it stops you from losing a point.

>>58037723
We won.

>>58037762
Play it in a no EX deck so you can still afford to lose 1 pokemon

>>58037789
I wonder if Elemental Switch will be worth it on Zeraora decks. On one hand, it doesn't take up that turn's supporter. On the other hand, it doesn't take up that turn's supporter.

I'm glad we aren't getting special energy, but then, how the fuck is Ho-Oh even playable

>>58037804
Pichu

>>58037806
Pichu isn't going to work, stop trying to wank it. There's no reason to run something that dies to anything in the meta while it gives your opponent a free point in exchange.
>MUH RESCUE SCARF
It still offers them a point regular TCG so I expect that to be the case here has well.

>>58037804
Easy, it won't be!

>>58037809
The good thing about Pichu is you can get a free energy if you start turn one

>>58037809
>It still offers them a point regular TCG so I expect that to be the case here has well.
It has to be. A pokemon tool that stops a pokemon from giving up a point when KOed would be more broken than anything we've gotten by far. There is absolutely no way DeNA releases a card like that.

>>58037813
Its not free, it effectively costs one point.

>>58037817
Baby mons don't cost energy, look at the symbol

>>58037820
it costs one point, not one energy

>>58037820
points if they get killed, anon

>>58037823
The thing is, you can use the move turn one without energy

>>58037827
....And what happens right after you do this from your opponent's pov? Take a good guess.

>>58037831
if you are facing silvally there is a 50% chance to die
if it's a solgayleo deck you surive for sure unless they use scarmory
if it's a eevee deck you may or may not die depending if they lead with eevee Ex or not
and so on

So, can Pichu evolve into Pikachu?

So Lugia is useless without a Ho-oh to set it up?

>>58037838
No.

Hot bird.

Wet bird.

>>58037684
I find funny how we go from a "thing" that calls itself a girl to an actual cute girl again.

https://www.pokemon-zone.com/sets/a4/
Espeon ex looks kinda outdated at this point

These cards make me want to replay Pokémon Crystal.

"Wishlist Feature: Players will soon be able to share which cards they would like to trade for when trading with others. They can navigate to their wishlist from the My Cards screen, where they’ll be able to add up to 20 cards, as well as highlight three cards from their wishlist to display on their profile."

So nostalgic!

>>58037684
Silver effect sounds actually useful unlike Penni's.

>>58037863
One of my favorite TCG artworks of all time :)

>>58037767
Baby Pokémon in the TCG are basics that cannot evolve unless they were introduced the same gen as their evolution, which is just Riolu, Togepi, and Toxel

>handscope if it good
this shit is busted

>>58037871

>>58037876

Owlbros, we won.

Cornerbros...

>>58037762
Unless they print some bullshit (maybe stadiums in the future?) that makes so babies don't give up prizes they're just not worth it

>>58037903
I'm not sure how they'd even do that, since there's nothing on the cards that categorize them as "baby pokemon". They could do something like affecting all pokemon with 30 hp or less, but then it would work on fossils too.

>>58037762
hell no. you can get the same free ramp just using elemental switch with zeraora, except zeraora can actually fend for itself.

>>58037907
Fossils have 40 HP.

>>58037908
Funniest part is, if you don't draw pichu at the very start of the match, it essentially becomes dead weight

>>58037915
Oh right. Well then the 30 HP or less thing could work.

>>58037835
All this doesn't even matter because there's good chance you won't start with Pichu, and unless you have an Xspeed or your starting Basic has free retreats, it becomes a useless shitter.

>>58037856
yeah espeon ex is totally unplayable. 30 healing is pretty shit on its own, but needing to be in the active seals its fate. 80 damage when sylveon ex does 70 and draws two fucking cards doesn't cut it either.
i can't imagine a situation where i'd want it instead of sylveon ex, base sylveon, or base espeon.

>>58037856
to me it just shows how powercrept venusaur ex is

pichu should have given 2 energy instead of 1

>no special energy
ho-oh confirmed DOA
you fags were touting "oh dena never makes the cover cards useless"
where are you now huh

>>58037920
It will be playable with Acrozolt.

>>58037937
There's still a chance for some kind of trainer card that specifically targets Ho-Oh and/or Lugia.

>>58037856
it's perfect for my sylveon primarina deck

>>58037946
oh nevermind is in the active stop, garbage then

>>58037941
If they added an electric fossil tapu koko would probably be the best card in the game

>>58037916
>if you don't draw pichu at the very start of the match, it essentially becomes dead weight
so like pachirisu

>>58037943
who's associated with them enough to get a card like that? the kimono girls who weren't even relevant in GSC?
and why wouldn't they show it off like they did lusamine?
face it dude johtofags lost bigly

>>58037951
Whenever it comes time for Galar, we'll probably get at least one. Unless they make Arctozolt water and Dracozolt dragon.

Johtosisters, the allegations...

>>58037937
Maybe they're printing the wings as some sort of item that makes the strategy work
Otherwise they really just designed a worse Moltres+Charizard deck

>>58037952
Except pachirisu has 70hp and still deals damage.

>>58037953
>the kimono girls who weren't even relevant in GSC?
Lyra wasn't even in GSC.
>and why wouldn't they show it off like they did lusamine?
Because Lusamine is a popular waifu. Trainer cards aren't all supporters, either. They didn't show Beast Wall or Beastite in the trailer for EC, either.

>>58037965
>deals damage.

>>58037968
even 10 damage is relevant in a world with cyrus

>>58037968
Oh I forgot, it's not limited to your BASIC pokemon too.

it's almost impossible to get 2 stage mons in play, but with this card...if it gives back the rare candy it's pretty good

>>58037983
it won't give back the rare candy. rare candy immediately goes to the discard pile.

>>58037987
well then there is a reason to run one stage 1 mon

>>58037983
Are you ready for THREE Silvally?

>>58037993
I wonder if you'll be able to play Gladion after showing both Silvally if one of them is returned to your hand.

It's funny how despite everything it's Sylvally the only deck to truly benefit from the the cards shown so far

>>58037998
You can play Gladion even if there's no Silvally in your deck, works just like the Pokeball when you have drawn every basic, because fuck you, Silvally has to be broken.

>>58037965
>deals damage
I'd prefer it didn't. It never amounts to shit and just puts it at risk of Rocky Helmet or Poison Barb

>>58037999
Silvally will be omnipresent until they make another card that is able to swing for 100 with a relatively low energy cost. It fits into so many different kinds of decks.

>>58037983
so this card is like penny-tier useless right
like in what situation would you actually want this?

>>58038003
It works if you have them all in your hand, but it can't be played if both Silvally are on the field. I assume this is because your opponent knows you have no applicable cards in the deck, but I wonder if they'll bother to make it no longer work if you pull it back to your hand or not.

>>58038008
for stage1/stage 2 mons who can't evolve because the basic evo already died

dragonite bros we are so fucking back

>>58038015
you have celestic town elder for rescuing basics, which doesn't have to be equipped in advance, can't get guzma'd, and works even if your basic died to poison or something (relevant for nihilego decks)
but literally no one runs it

>>58038024
It only works on basics, so you better get set up before your candy and evolution are Mars'd away.

>>58038028
elder is random and a trainer, kills lots of momentum

>>58038036
>random
right because there are so many situations where your opponent has already killed two pokemon and you could still win if only you could revive a basic and put 1 energy on it

>>58038036
you know what else kills momentum? drawing rescue scarf when you don't need it which is 99% of games. it's putting a brick in your deck, in a game where one single turn decides the game more often than not.

>>58038048
and starting with the wrong mon that is going to die before evolving doesn't kill momentum because it doesn't fit you narrative uh? suck my cock

>>58038051
how many decks can even start with the wrong mon that needs to evolve? which stage 1/2 decks DON'T want their stage 1/2 out in front asap? or just don't care if it is?
stokezard, solgaleo, leafeon/flareon, sylveon/greninja, garchomp ex, incineroar, etc all want their respective basics up front to evolve asap.
rescue scarf isn't going to save you if it's the only basic you draw, but you know what might? running comms in its place.

>>58037983
rare candy goes into discard pile, it's not getting recovered by this
This will rock in Sylveon decks where Sylveon is a main attacker

Wait why did lyra and silver effect change? Or are the retarded translators trolling us?

>>58038109
the traslator made shit up since the beginning, it called the scarf a shoe for example

>>58038097
>5 oaks in a single game

ho oh dragunite gonna be op bros

Will Pichu and Lyra make Dragonite EX work?

>>58038119
>put 3 energy on ho-oh so you can put 3 energy on dragonite
this is dialga solgaleo tier retardation

>>58038125
except dragonite requires multi energies and solga doesn't retard

>>58038125
>>58038119
see
>>58038035

>>58038127
oh yeah that too, have fun putting your 3 energy on dratini only to immediately get hit with THE most obvious red card play of all time next turn

>>58038131
have fun dealing with my 180 dmg and 200 dmg dragonites

>>58038137
Ho-oh is Silvally food. 150 HP is hilariously low for something that needs 3 turns to set up.

>>58037955
Based on the real tcg, I expect the -zolts to be electric and the -vishes to be water, but they could always subvert expectations.

>>58038137
that's a nice 60 hp basic you have there
3 energy on it from ho-oh huh? impressive
it would be a shame if something happened to it

>>58038137
It's funny considering Lyra will make Dragonite EX even stronger. Don't even need to use fossils, just use Lyra, then retreat and attack again.

>>58038144
>but they could always subvert expectations.
Yeah, the first Aerodactyl was colorless after all.

>Ho-oh ex could've been a burn fire attacker with ability that heals it on switch
>Lugia ex could've been a colorless ex attacker with ability that halves the first attack it takes at full health

>>58038154
>with ability that heals it on switch
what? every mon heals on switch already

>>58038170
what did he mean by this?

>>58038189
He might be thinking of status, not HP.

>Pichu generates energy instead of drawing from.the Discard pile
>no Special Energy after all
Those retarded ass translations man what the fuck was up with that

>80 damage and 40 extra damage per card held in the opponent's hand
Yay or nay?

>>58037849
>>58037847
All I see is a couple of Stokezard and Oricorio victims.

>>58037847
>>58037849
So you get 3 energy on your Ho-Oh, then attack twice, then switch to Lugia and autowin?

*wheezes* am I relevant yet...?

>>58038154
Instead, they need to work together so they can sell both packs

>>58037889
Based babykicker.

>>58037684
lmfao they made Silver into the anti-Penny.

>>58037814
>Sacred Ash card does literally just this for Entei, Suicune, and Raiko as long as Ho-Oh is in play

Is this balanced?

>>58037889
>kicks your benched baby

>won't have to click Buy 60 times to get my hourglasses from the trading update
Now will they add this functionality to the shop at large?

If they bring Megas to Pocket, what style of evolutionary line would you prefer?

>Old
Charizard EX(Basic) > M Charizard EX(Stage 1)
Latios EX(Basic) > Latios EX(Stage 1)
Lucario EX(Basic) > M Lucario EX(Stage 1)

>Modern
Charmander(Basic) > Charmeleon(Stage 1) > Mega Charizard ex(Stage 2)
Mega Latias ex(Basic)
Riolu(Basic) > Mega Lucario ex(Stage 1)
ex is not EX but they can work in a similar way.

>>58035561
>You may put this pokemon into your hand.
Holy mother of almost completely useless. This essentially means that Zubat and Golbat get discarded, and you only retrieve Crobat.

>>58037847
>>58037849
Fuck, Luxray is 10 damage short of oneshotting them.

>>58038386
It's like Koga, you get Zubat and Golbat back in your hand too, however this means you can't use rare candy to evolve it.

>>58038409
Ah, yes, you are correct. I may be misremembering, because for some reason I was sure that back in Base Set times, the pre-evolved cards counted as attached to the evolved pokemon. I was probably wrong, since I can't find anything to confirm this.

>>58038378
Charmander (Basic) > Charmeleon (Stage 1) > Charizard ex (Stage 2) > M Charizard ex (mega)

>>58038316
Actually, they'd work together.
Turn 1: Play Silver, shuffle your opponent's Oak.
Turn 2: Play Penny, better chance of getting to use your opponent's Oak.
Now that I think about it, T1 Silver is gonna be fucking annoying, always fucking up your Oaks.
