Is this a candidate for the worst card in the game? I've tried everything to make him work but it's godawful. You can't even pick which energy gets painted over so if even after all the effort to get him going, he can still shit himself.

I feel that cards like Whitney which only work for specific mons should flat out be a Max Potion that heals said Pokemon back to full HP while curing them of statuses.
That's the least they should be capable of for forcing you to play mediocre cards.

Well, we have:
>Heal 30 damage and recover from all conditions
>Heal 40 damage from everything with a water energy on it
>Heal 50 damage from a grass type
>Heal 60 damage from a Stage 2 Pokemon
>Heal 60 damage from Miltank and recover from all conditions
>Fully heal a grass type, but remove all energies from it

I dunno, seems fair. Basically any card that names specific Pokemon is bound to be gimmick shit that's designed for a specific iteration of Pokemon, or it kneecaps every proceeding iteration of that Pokemon just because the possibility exists.

Whitney should have been the heal AND add another stack to Miltank's attack. That way, you at least have a chance to win going first.

I don't really see what Altaria is doing that the other dragons wouldn't do better. I'd raather build Garchomp, Dragonite, or even Kommo-o as the main line since they all need 2 different energies to be functional. Drampa might be useful, if only because it can also function without having different energies on it.

If they hadn't implemented streaks in UB I would have stopped, they made it far less painful than last time I went MB. Started Sylveon/Espeon with a side of Oricorio/Sylvaly, but the one who brought it in and that I was using most in UB3/4 was Buzz/mosa. It was also the most fun in general so if you're looking for a deck to run try that one.

Can't take credit for it it's been making the rounds lately but it actually works.
Sometimes you brick but that's the same as any deck.
Alolan eggs can hit so hard you end a lot of games before they start, you just need a little luck.

The reason why it's good against Suicune is that you completely gimp their damage, at most you have only one Pokemon on the bench.

I've been experimenting with swapping out one eggs ex with the celestic town elder to potentially have three Pokemon because realistically the reason you run for evos is just to ensure that you can Evo into something, but Alolan eggs is almost always preferable.

Not to sound like a whiney faggot, but how is there not more uproar against this guzzlord deck? It is probably the most toxic deck in pocket history, total luck going against it.

It is very annoying indeed but it can brick easily and if it hits a counter like funny bird it has trouble getting around it while maintaining energy advantage, even with celesteela, plus if steela dies or is not on bench early enough then guzzlord is a sitting duck.

The game does this purposefully to inflict pain on you and encourage you to try again.
At some point, you'll try with a lower-cost or less-desirable card, and it will work. Then, when you try again with a card you really want, you fail. Or not.
You'll never know for sure.
They want you to feel the doubt.

high roll decks are basically decks that rely mostly on good early-game luck to achieve victory, so in pocket it'd be something like stokezard. if you go first, rare candy into zard turn 3 and stoke, you win outright against the majority of decks. if not, you're looking at an uphill battle you're probably not going to win.

anyway that'll beat up the AI just fine so you can farm a shitload of hourglasses if you want, but if you want to make a good deck for pvp you've gotta get more of the good supporters and trim the chaff.
despite what the game would have you believe with how the auto-build works and pretty much every deck list they give you, less is usually more when it comes to pokemon.
right now one of the top decks is actually just two copies of guzzlord and one celesteela with the rest being trainers. you're pretty close to being able to make that deck since trainers are pretty easy to get, and that'll do you well for pretty much everything and you can branch out at your leisure.

Anyone else feel that the games end too fast? I know pocket is meant to be shorter than traditional tcg but im winning matches in like 3-4 turns on average

Why on earth would you ever run find a friend Eevee when you could run "Continuous Steps?" Oh man, I love doing 100 damage turn 2. Hilarious.

Is zoroark op or does it just feel that way because the AI always gets the perfect opening hand?

Not OP but definitely strong, unfortunately it's just too susceptible to Sabrina and high HP EX which are in every deck at the moment

I was using pheromosa against the ai and got zoroark down to 20 hp, swapped it out using cyrus, but it keeps its fucking invulnerability to damage even when swapped out it didn't take the 20 bench damage and I lost.

Why the fuck did they make it so fuck ugly shiny shit shows up at the very top of your collection if you sort by rarity. And I don't just mean shiny 2*. Why the fuck are regular fucking basic shinyshit showing above everything but crowns? Why can't I sort my collection by having the good looking cards at the top anymore?

it's a 0.5% for a FA latios and a 0.6% for a normal latios/latias. You're literally twice as likely to get latios instead of latias

That depends on the temperature and tac-p settings used for generation. The more "creative" an AI gets, the worse it is at handling strict scenarios, such as rulesets, laws, code, mathematics, etc. The default settings are already pretty bad at it.
