OUR TIME IS NOW

>rare candies into stokezard turn 3
>puts the energy on charmander instead
only the best plays from our beloved AI

>>58543499
You can only use straightforward decks with AI

>>58543505
i thought stokezard was as linear and straightforward as it gets but apparently putting an energy on your active is too complex for the autobattle AI

>>58543505
I've seen it put an energy on benched cuno while the active one only has 2 energy on it.

>>58543492
MAMOCHADS RISE UP

Looking for:
Deluxe EX Lusamine
May
Copycat

Offering:
Anything shown here.

Hmmm Well I got a couple of Blaziken, Pinsir, and Gyarados
Out of these 3, Gyarados seems the most fun to build and actually play, Blaziken seems a bit too braindead
Could use pack points for 2nd Gyara copy but I wanna Paypig for a 10 pull.....(after clearing solo missions i guess)
Also got Absol and Ampharos but meh

>>58543542
Would cough up my Hala for the Crab

>after the update the app has been running slow on my phone

Welp. If I have to get a new phone and lost my account, I guess thats it.
Sayonara pokemon pocket.

>>58543514
>>58543526
The AI retracted to the bench even though he could have just won the entire thing if he attacked. Whoever coded this shit is fucking retarded.

>>58543569
if you linked it to your nintendo account or a google account or whatever, you can recover it

>>58543588
I think I had connected it to my nintendo account, and I received the hourglasses for doing so but strangely the reward for connecting it to a nintendo account still said I could complete it so whether or not it actually connected properly, I have no idea.
I hate phones with a fuckin' passion mang.

>cynthia is popular
>check pokehub
>people are offering yanmegas
damn no one wants this ugly bitch

>>58543569
What phone?

>>58543601
such is the fate of all supporters that only affect a few specific cards
even if they're good to start with they inevitably become powercrept and then nobody wants them except a few dedicated waifufags, so the supply is much greater than the demand

>>58543578
autobattle requires one of the most retarded skills any person could have: "do i need to turn off auto and pilot it myself now because the AI might do some random shit and lose for no reason"

>>58543623
If she worked on Garchomp EX maybe..

Anyone got a shiny Mankey they're willing to trade?

>>58543653
You got an Oricorio or Charmander?

>got lapras ex
>got cresselia ex
>got playsets of sing jigglypuff, reckless charge mankey, and tackle snivy
glad they did this promo rerun event
even if i'm never going to use these outside of messing around in solo battles it's still nice to have them
gonna make a cliff crumber dugtrio deck with the fight back primeape

>>58543655
I got Charmander yea. 6674585431729738

>>58543663
actually speaking of mankey, annihilape when?

>people are running the 50 hp eevee since it's searchable with lisia
>50 hp puts it in kill range of a turn 1 tyrogue + gio
it doesn't happen often but when it does it's fucking funny

>>58543703
Just use Hitmonchan blud

Fuck Blaziken. 140 damage for 2 energy and he can hit two turns in a row is fucking bullshit. Even if Flame Patch is annoying as shit if it was at least discard all energy it wouldn't be as bad.

>>58543712
hitmonchan needs an energy though, so they have the opportunity to cape it, draw other pokemon, or whatever
tyrogue smacks it on turn 1 before they can play a single card

Okay, the hype for trading is already dead. Everyone is a faggot who is offering yanmegas and requesting oaks. No reasonable trades, just min maxing bullshit, people would probably ask for money if they could. Im glad i did it early when people were actually focused on trading favorites. It does feel like shit when you pull bad 2 stars now tho, i got a hiker the other day and trading made it more useless somehow.

>Someone actually wanted Marowak
KEK

I got a Mega Gyarados EX if someone wants to trade an Altaria EX for it.

>>58543749
Blame the sneakerheads. They moved into physical Pokemon TCG and started becoming vendors, where they buy or trade for your stuff at 50%-80% of what it's worth, while charging 10%-30% above market for whatever they have. That's why you have people requesting 2:1 trades for Oak, or trying to trade their Looker, or as you said, Yanmega for Sabrina or Cyrus (Looker is a based guy, but not when he's used like this.) It's all their fault.

>>58543749
stop using poketrade, it fucking sucks dick

>>58540298
Still up for Rainbow Decidueye for Rainbow Primarina btw
7457-9538-8438-6472

>looks who wants Fisher
>Marowak
>Locker
Ughh

so out of these 3 new packs, which should be the focus to open?

i love trading. here's my humble collection. i don't even know what i want. just show me yours and let's talk.

>>58543507
there will never be a psychic type with an ability that can spread burns/poison thanks to this card

>>58543881
This is what's up for trade????

Sooo is this shit? A worse version of Ultra Thrusters & no pings is looking pretty grim

>>58543796
this will be my reaction if I can find someone to take this fat fuck sophocles

How do i craft cards into shinedust? I need 25k to trade

>>58543814
name an alternative that doesn't

>>58543884
yes but of course i would have to evaluate the offers. why? i have no affinity to most of these as the last games i played were b/w and i only play for the meta. i'm not a collector.

i'm looking for a mars and oak.

>>58543900
I don't think you can do that.

>>58543881
One Moltres Rainbow art
One rainbow Inceneroar
Deluxe Charizard
Thank you, pick one of your chosing. Be quick though it's in very high demand.

>>58543906
FUCK
its going to take me years before i get enough

>>58543907
Good luck trying to exchange those, kek.

I am trying to make a deck that set up ASAP to counter the equally fast as fuck expert mega decks. i have this but gets bricked easily, any suggestions?

>>58543918
>he tried to reroll farm
Kek

>>58543888
you can slot it in a typical Greninja deck as a way to better deal with stuff that Suicune or Gira couldn't survive
ie 2 Gren, 2 Froakie, 2 Suicune ex, 1 Gira ex, 1 Gren ex
it's basically an alt Oricorio kind of; can attack exs easier but isn't completely immortal against them like Ori

>>58543888
it's better than ultra thrusters (any water mon instead of only ultra beasts), good HP for pivoting and a solid attack
not sure if it's good enough despite all that though. it's awkward because it's on a stage 2 EX and celesteela was good because it was a basic

Im starting to regret trading my FA May for Copycat
I figured copycat was more competitively viable since May doesnt work with 0 pokemon in hand

>can't name my Mega Ampharos EX deck "Mega Ampharos EX Deck"
I saw a guy name Richard Stroker, but I can't use the factual name of a Pokemon card.

I have 2 M-Gayrados, what's the best deck with her?

>>58543924
Change PokeComms for May, it's strictly better even if you only have 1 pokemon in hand because you still pull two and can choose what to throw back into the deck. I don't think you need to worry about bricking your starting mon since that's always going to be Phanpy so I'd change that leaf for Iono maybe.

>>58543818
Hi! Yes, to you and the other anon: I ran out of Stamina and trade tokens trading my brother. Can I get back to you tomorrow?

>>58543945
Manaphy, mantyke, magikarp that evolves when attacking and 2 energy baby gyarados

>>58543945
Pretty much the expert deck and a Lisia.

>>58543951
What I get bricked of are the resources for setting Rhampados or the fucking stone helmets, several times i could have won if the fucking thing showed early. Also I don't have a may yet, gonna get one.

>>58543954
Sure, I'm still recovering stam as well. I'll reply again in the latest thread

>>58543955
>magikarp that evolves when attacking
Assuming that's the new one? Don't have it yet, and disappointed that Mega doesn't work with the discard baby Gyara but I figured it didn't.

Also does anyone need or want 1* Rillaboom? I've pulled these ugly fags in three straight packs.

My trading results for today and trust me, I only traded absolute wank.
Basic Melmetal 2 stars for rainbow Pikachu
Equipmemt support girl for Entei ranbow

>>58543940
>Valuing FA's for their utility and not because they're your waifu/husbando

>>58543969
You use the baby gyarados to discard the mega gyarados when it becomes too low on hp so you don't have to worry about your opponent using Cyrus on it later

>>58543976
Now imagine being an unlucky fuck who only pulls ugly m*le 2 stars that don't even do anything

>>58543973
Where did you find said generous retards?

>>58543976
Yes? I mean obviously. That seems like a no brainer for me. Thats why Oak is the most requested card in existence

>>58543980
>You use the baby gyarados to discard the mega gyarados when it becomes too low on hp
never thought about that, kinda clever

>megas are just beefed up stage 2s instead of essentially being stage 3 like the games
Wtf

>Try Mamoswine deck
>First opponent Team Rockets me with 6 heads
Experiment over.

>>58543994
They started off as stage 3s in regular TCG, but to reach it was too slow. So now we got this.

Absol/Oricorio is such a stupid fucking deck. Somehow, Oricorio is the workhorse there.

>>58543999
brew?

>>58543994
It was too slow so they made them stage 2, the TCG is real life also did this.

>>58543894
I pulled 2 of him, and now I want to hold onto the playset even though he will never be good.

>>58543999
Yeah because of Oricorio fatigue I see a shit ton of Absol/Tyrogue decks now.

>>58544002
It's been placing well in tournaments. I dropped a Red Card in favor of Copycat.

>>58543998
>>58543994
Not exactly. Back then all Exes were Basic, so Megas were all the same as Stage 1.
https://pkmncards.com/card/altaria-ex-fates-collide-fco-83/
https://pkmncards.com/card/m-altaria-ex-fates-collide-fco-69/
Also, your turn ended when you Mega Evolved, unless you had a Mega Link (tool card) equipped.

>>58543894
Me, holy fuck
Please someone take it
I would even trade it for a meta planeta at this point
I hate him so much it's unreal

>>58543901
pokehub at least doesn't make you put all your cards into one big lump and then ping you every time some schmuck offers garbage for your valuable cards

>>58543894
Play this!

>>58544013
I too would like to get rid of Sophocles.

>>58544010
how does it work? still missing mega absol to run it

>>58544010
I beat this deck a few times in ranked with BlazikenM

>>58544023
You use Pichu to give energy to an Oricorio ASAP, then set up Absol and use that to attach. When you get Darkrai, feed that energy too.

>>58544010
This shit gets assraped by Joltina

>>58543945
>her
um akshually all magikarp in game are male with the exception of A1a which is NOT the main magikarp used since B1 is better

>>58544024
damn, BlazikenM decks are so strong they're already in ranked

i think darktina actually just sucks shit now
ran it in randoms and got beaten by mega absol on its own

>new 200 men tourney
>Mega Gyarados no longer sees any usage.
Owari da, Vp was right

>>58543542
still want the rainbow espeon? i would do it for that mars

>>58544043
Darkrai pumped and dumped Giratina-chan and is now fucking hot Absol pussy, running trains on her with Hydreigon. Thankfully Greninja-kun's tongue game is still on point so Giratina-chan isn't all that upset. Just a little.

>>58544043
Fucked up that they powercreep the historically best deck in the game just after giving them shinies.

>>58544043
every deck packing fat mons that darktina can't oneshot even with their fuckass combo means the deck is floundering. good riddance.

Anyone want to trade Mega Ampharos for this?

>>58544062
they're not really powercrept since they both have places in top meta decks right now. they just don't work together anymore.

Updated since a few threads ago. Please and thanks!
8485444329968629

>>58544062
You can use girantina with darkrai in a Batceus deck, but Darkrai will just be a tech card there.

>>58544045
i was saying from the start that mega gyarados was basically just gyarados ex, and gyarados ex sucks at this point in the game. 30 extra hp was never going to save it.

>>58544045
Shameful display!

Looking for:
>M-Gyarados EX (FA only)
>M-Blaziken EX (regular or FA)
>May FA or Lisia FA
>Hydreigon FA
>Jellicent FA
>Pyukumuku FA
... or regular Hydreigon/Jellicent/Carracosta if I can meet your requirements.

>>58544073
I can give you regular non rainbow 2 star leafeon for either del char or Moltres

>>58544094
You cannot trade full arts those are 3 stars

>sitting here on my ass waiting for trade stamina so i can trade some fucking cards again
damn. 17 hours until i can attempt to trade for leaf.

>>58544106
Immersive (3*) <> Full Art (2*)

>>58544112
Right, I just call those rainbows.

>>58544112
i know it technically doesn't apply in this case since gyarados only has one 2*, but when it comes to 2* usually people specify whether they're talking about rainbows or planetas to avoid confusion

People are building mega gyara really weirdly. Why not just clone the decks from shining revelry?

I feel like 140 damage isnt enough for mega gyara. Discard 3 cards is REALLY good but still, the damage isn’t oustanding for the energy cost. Mega blaziken does the same quicker, and potentially more if they fail the burn coin flip.

>>58544094
Nobody will want to trade their full art mega gary for that sad selection of offerings

>>58544123
because if that deck format was remotely playable people would still be playing it. mega gyarados isn't different enough from the regular ex to make a difference there.

>shinies are now bonus cards like the baby Pokemon
>god packs no longer have shinies
Huh, neat.

>>58544143
Only from set B to forward.

>>58544100
Sorry, I have one rainbow leafeon already and want them to match

>>58544136
It's a long shot, but the 1 stars are a priority for me

>>58544133
Not really one to one comparable cause Blaziken needs the candy which does add more to get going. Mantyke can get it going pretty quick and the small pokemon being searchable with May is pretty nice for consistency.

Is it me or are stage 2 ex pokemon now completely obsolete, like totally worthless unless their name is GA charizard or EX dragonite.

>>58544133
yet another case of damage being the only attack effect that actually matters. blaziken is 140 for 2, altaria is 130 for 2, ampharos is 160 split for 3. 140 for 4 energy is just flat out not good in comparison.
the discard effect is cool, but it's too slow to disrupt combos so you're basically just fishing to kill supporters unless your opponent is mega bricking. and if they are, you would've won anyway.

>>58544192
they already were before this set, stokezard was barely relevant

>>58544192
they've been obsolete for a while, none of them had good winrates last season either. they still got played because they were strong when they did go off so people had fun gambling, but the odds were pretty objectively stacked against you.

>>58544192
technically stage 2 exs are the best they've been in a while
its just that they give an extra point because they're megas (and Greninja is there too I guess)

How do you deal with trade regret? I got a few better offers for stuff I dealt already.

>>58544222
get drunk and jerk off

>>58544073
Would you do Brock for Pokemon Center Lady?
1078626082226880

>>58544222
i just don't trade if it's not the card i want. offers and negotiating are for chumps, you WILL give me the exact card i want in the exact language i asked for, or i simply will not engage.

>>58544133
Yeah, it's playable but it's definitely an uphill battle
>you want Mantyke or Manaphy to ramp Gyarados
>you DON'T want your fish to get FROGGED (most popular mon in the meta) so you better hurry up
>you DON'T want your dragon to get BIRD UPPED (also very popular) so you need a birdkiller
>the birdkiller makes it harder to get your already hard to get dragon
>suffering
The reward is just too small for how hard it is to get. 4 energy with no inherent ramp is simply too big of an ask, currently.

Should I always ask for a friend invite in battles?

If you're gonna metafag, do it in style

>>58544222
how do you even regret a trade? are you just trading for cards you don't actually want?

>>58544249
>what is jellicent

>>58544253
>regular entei and flame patch
Poorfag.

>>58544253
>that Cyrus
Oh no no no

>>58544253
>no FA cyrus
>no rainbow entei
>no crown flame patches
you are weak. you will not survive the winter.

>>58544222
if you're trading for chase cards and not trying to treat it like some kind of economy you won't have any regrets.

>>58544259
>evo ramp
lol
lmao

>>58544239
I think I need to try to hold joy for something like irida or mars. Would you be willing to trade brock for something else?

>>58544273
>complain about bird
>2 stage evo
>3 stage frog is most popular card in tcgps lifespan
retard alert

>>58544259
jellicent is shit. it can't ramp until your second turn, putting it behind both mantyke (which ramps on turn 1) and manaphy (which ramps 2 pokemon)
investing energy in it for damage also results in you not actually ramping gyarados.

>>58544279
retarded, blind, or both? i'm saying why gyarados sucks
try out jellicent in your gyarados deck dumbfuck, tell me how it works out

>>58544253
>no full art cyrus
Better start begging on disctroon lol

>People crying about M-Gyara
>Not running both for versatility

>>58544305
Post da list

why is hydreigon so much better than like 90% of stage 2s (including exs)

how's your collection coming along, bros?
things have worked out pretty nice for me so far

>>58544315
same reason greninja is
extremely powerful ability

Anyone got a grass deck for the MBlaziken challenge that isn't Mega Pinsir?

>>58544315
because it's basically rampardos if he not a fossil

this guy BREWED

>>58544324
I think Meowscarada Pheromosa is your best bet

>>58544276
Unfortunately I think I have everything else in your pic already, except for Joy. I would've gone for Iono maybe but now that Copycat exists I could just use either or, or 1 of each.

>>58544324
but i would say just play meowscarada + nonex celebi and hope for good rng
run helmet and red
meow kills entei after red or helmet chip
and celebi oneshots a rare candied mega blaziken under the same circumstances
just reset if the ai plays combusken
take this all with a grain of salt btw i don't bother with those lame challenges since they just amount to a lot of resetting for the perfect draws and i don't need more tickets

Is there a best item to get from the ticket shop? Or is it just whatever you vibe with
I honestly kind of want Regi just because I always liked the memes even if he seems kinda fucked.
Could probably make use out of heavy helmet though

I just realized that Rhampados hard counters megas because their high HP means Rhampados doesn't get the 50 hp self damage so if is a full heal then it can survive the mega next attack and then finish it up and win.

>>58544318
considering making a brown boy collection, right now I've got Brock, Ilima, Kiawe and Traveling Merchant(?)
Gonna try pull Marlon and trade for Hau at some point.

>>58544222
I know how you feel. People in that fuckass trade discord are talking about doing 2:1 trades for Cyrus, and 3:1 trades for Oak. I can't believe I ripped myself off.

>>58544372
Also of the mega is already damaged and can't survived Rhampados then is instant lost.

>>58544318
Going pretty well, still need the new waifu cards of course

>>58543542
Deluxe Lusamine for Mars
1566430520317811

>>58544331
Huh, wonder what his strat was.
I was considering making a meme brew with Delcatty that could keep recycling itself with Ilima.

>>58544377
>3:1 trades for oak
holy kek lmao
do they ACTUALLY do this? i have no intention of scamming but i do have a spare oak and it would be funny to get three fucking cards for it

>>58544313
It's pretty limited and I have some doubts about the trainer mix (two Misty tails is a waste), but Pyukumuku is excellent for getting Oricorios spooked, plus rocky helmet to undo any potion/Nurse hax. You'd be far better off with Lisia, and Irida might not even be necessary if Mega Gyara is your endgame

>>58544318
I kinda want a Lisia but I doubt anyone would be willing to trade for what I have.

Definitely better versions of this deck but damn absol hydreigon is mad consistent

>>58544367
what ticket shop has both heavy helmet and a regi?
i'm lost

>people are using innocent professors as currency
I WONT STAND FOR THIS

>>58544373
>someone who actually wants marlon
i'll keep you in mind if i pull a marlon on one of my alts
most of them have more shinedust than they'll ever be able to spend and marlon doesn't have much value as trade fodder so if i pull one i'd be happy to just give it to someone who actually wants it
did that with a galactic grunt already

idk if anyone cares, but holy shit the DX pack RUINED tradining for the short time it existed. Every retard is just demanding a professor oak, it's so gay. Reminds me of the GTS days in DS era pokemon. Other than that no one really makes resonable trades, like no one wants your Kiwae for a Irida/Leaf/Sabrina/Cyrus.

>Have two extra Oaks, enough to ask for anything in the game
>Feel like they're so valuable that actually trading them for anything would be a waste

>>58544407
It's unironically a waste when you know they'll shill Mega Charizard X/Y and M-Dragonite in the not-too-distant future. They might even redress the waifus for all we know (next year's delux Elesa)

why the fuck is professor oak the hottest prostitute on the block all of a sudden?

>>58544406
if oak wasn't in the game it'd just be cyrus and sabrina instead. there's no getting around the fact that there are staples that fit into literally every deck, and the rarity of those cards makes the supply vastly outweighed by the demand.

>>58544398
The promo cashin you get for doing the mission.
It doesn't give the helmet, but the Helmet is now in the game and I got a copy of it from the current pack.
Does that make sense now?

>>58544318
It's getting there, can't wait to buy Mars with my pack points in 4 months

>>58544405
based, I'll take you up on that if you ever get it, and if I don't get him myself since I'm probably pulling Mega Gyarados only for the next few months.
I also want him for an eventual Water type specialist collection since I already have Misty/Irida/Lana.

>horsea with hook can kill chingling and other baby pokemon quick
>rare candying into kingdra ex can cuck megas out of being able to retreat
>having access to irida for heals
am i brewing?

>>58544222
I had someone on pokehub say their card was english but i didnt realize it was Chinese until after i completed it and ive been thinking about it all day

>>58544423
oh don't spend the promo ticket on regigigas, most of the stuff in the promo shop is just reskins of existing cards
if you really want a regigigas just trade for one of the STS ones, they're the same card just with different art
the ticket is only really worth spending on the promo cards that have exclusive functionality or if you REALLY like the art and can't manage to pull two copies before the event ends

>>58544444
Checked and witnessed, Kingdra stays number one

Has my boy Tauros EX broken into T0 yet?

>>58544438
>missing the CG lillie
poor show desu

>>58544513
>dude what if silvally was weaker and had recoil and was worth 2 points instead of 1
i'm really sad they keep shitting on tauros like this

>>58544513
EX Tarous is ridicously bad

Are Taurous, Melmetal, and Rapidash the obligatory garbage exs of their respective packs?

>>58544532
Melmetal can do damage atleast, rapidash could have been released during ga and still not be played.

>>58544532
>>58544538
Melmetal is bad but not awful. I guess he is the worst of his pack though.
Whimsicott and Hitmonchan are both worse than Melmetal I'd say.

>>58544532
>tfw

>>58544554
at least the full art is fucking awesome

>>58544532
it's hard for me to call melmetal garbage. it at least does a lot of damage at 150 and has a secondary attack it can fall back on if it's forced out before it's ready.
it's the worst in its pack but it's miles better than garbage like whimsicott, who only escapes "worst in the set" status because tauros exists.

>>58544525
>>58544530
Singles of Tauros and Altaria are the only EXes I have so far, and I don't read pack lists, so after looking at the Tauros card for a bit I was really dumbfounded by how shit it is. But still probably better than Dhelmise.

>>58544406
There's a caste system for 2* cards in the trade economy
From top to bottom:
>Oak and meta supporters
>waifu supporters
>rainbow rare Pokemon
>Planeta FA Pokemon
>homo supporters
Pokemon cards can be bumped up a tier if it's a meta/new card like Blaziken or Sylveon

thoughts on lunala memes

>>58544568
yeah, dhelmise is definitely still the worst ex in the game. even cresselia and lapras are better since they do the same damage for the same energy but have effects that mean something.

>Whimsicott
>Stage 1
>attack that does maybe 100, probably only 70 for 2 energy
>140 hp
>no ability
damn they got bro fucked up
at least give em legendary pulse

>Tauros
OH MY GOODNESS

>>58544574
i traded blaziken for cyrus so you're underestimating it quite a bit

>>58544577
swap dawn wings for sts giratina
it retreats for cheaper/free, has more hp than dawn wings as well as no recoil, and still kills funnybird for the same 3 energy

Holy fuck the espeon indee decks are pure cancer

>>58544591
Whimsicott should've had 0 retreat cost
Wouldn't help it all that much but it fits

>>58544593
ugh im aware of that, and i do have it full art so it'd even look fancier, but dawn wings is so thematically appropriate it hurts to remove it

during space time i pulled like 8 immersive palkia's and I STILL can't trade those retards away, what a tragedy.

>Arceus ex
>140 HP
>Ability
>Possibly attack that can easily hit 90+ damage
>Bonus cards that synergize with it

>Tauros
>140 HP
>No ability
>2 energy attack that does 90 in a meta where quite a few mons have 190+ hp, meaning a 3hko
>20 recoil

I thought old cards were supposed to be powercrept, not mog the next generation?

>>58544577
I play a more compact build with 2 Lunala, 1 Giratina ex and 1 STS Giratina. Indeedee should be a good addition though

>>58544627
ohh could you let me see it? could give me some good ideas

I got 5 premium points left, should I take Suicune backdrop or cover?

>>58544624
>The God of All Creation
vs
>a fucking white alpaca
Yeah they did Tauros dirty.

damn Altaria's Immersive actually sucks ass
might be bottom 3

>>58544633
I'm not sure if I want to use Sylveon's draw power or not but I don't like it when I fail to get either Giratina ex or Lunala ex online so I prefer run less Pokemon. May should be a good replacement for Comms

I'm 1-6 with rapidash kek

>>58544652
IMO it's the prettiest Immersive card but the animation is the most nothing one out of all of them

>>58544574
there's a lot more nuance to it than that.
even among the meta supporters there are huge gaps, like red is lower than sabrina/mars, who are lower than cyrus, who's lower than oak.
popular and/or meta rainbows are actually above the more useless waifu supporters like acerola or whitney and can absolutely be traded for meta supporters to the right person. i personally traded two rainbows for meta supporters, and they weren't even good cards, just popular pokemon people really like.
and even among the planetas there's still a lot of variance in value. the pack cover planetas are high in demand since they got immersives instead of rainbows, so they're pretty solidly up there. giratina is also significantly more valuable than other planetas since it's meta and also never got a rainbow.

>>58544532
At least rapidash can snipe the bench and be boosted by flame patch and you can run it along side baby rapidash and blaine

>>58544652
Ho-oh and Lugia are still really ugly

>>58544663
i wouldn't call ho-oh ugly, but yeah lugia got butchered with the redraw

I want a leaf, is this card jewed out or do people make resonable trades for her? It doesn't make sense either, there should be plenty since the chinese god pack shit was going wild back then. I saw a guy with 10 of them.

>>58543954
It's okay, I'm in no rush. here's my friend code 5476-1006-7098-1537.

I genuinely want to murder the person that allowed the same turn evo eevee

>>58544674
shoulda been usable from the bench too

>>58544674
Can Eevees stop getting fucking powercrept already? I mean holy shit a new Eevee almost every fucking pack. The Vaporeon Ex pack is gonna have an Eevee Ex with the same ability as the current one but with Find a Friend and 30 extra HP at this rate.

>>58544672
leaf shouldn't be too hard to get. as long as you've got something reasonably equivalent you should be able to find a trade just fine.

Are immersives tradable? I got 3 extra Celebis that have been haunting me since MI.

This set isn't really based on any generation in particular. Wonder if the next sets will ditch the region format too

>>58544690
I think its alternating between generation and some kind of theme, just that this time around we're starting with the mega theme. Feel like gen 3 with kyogre/groudon might be next since we're starting off with M-Blaziken and Hoenn has its fair share of megas.

>>58544690
hopefully they ditch it entirely. nostalgiabaiting with the generational format clearly doesn't work since WSS flopped big time compared to CG.

>>58544702
the big ass Y in the trailer probably means a Y set and an X set with their corresponding megas

>>58544690
It's supposed to be ORAS I thought?

>>58544709
despite what people online may tell you, johto isnt a particularly populat region lol, its like right in the middle

>>58544714
only mega altaria is from oras. the other five megas in the set are from xy.

>>58544711
could be that too yeah, its definitely going to be whichever mega focused generation for the next few sets too, what with the ZA 'hype' still ongoing

>>58544719
...blaziken?

i really hope mega gardevoir is good...
it's a really good card in the TCG, they made it strong because they know gardevoir moves packs so they'll make it a good card here too, right?

>>58544719
yeah but the mega theme plus a lot of hoenn trainers makes me think oras
>>58544726
xy preorder bonus/event iirc

I got 5 premium points left, should I take Suicune backdrop or cover?

>>58544733
Easily cover

>>58544726
nope, blaziken was XY. it was an event mon for the release of the game much like victini was with BW.

>>58544731
it was a part of the of top 2 deck in GA so yeah it'll probably be strong
the only moneymaker mon who's been perpetually cucked and shit is gengar I think, also rayquaza I guess

Give me recent, new metal decks, this new AI are making me
actually update my decks, no I dont play online

>>58544732
there's only two hoenn trainers though, i wouldn't really call that a lot
marlon is unova, fantina is sinnoh, copycat is kanto, and hala is alola

>>58544741
oh wow, i forgot that surprisingly

>>58544744
Oricorio + Greninja fucks every AI in the ass except for a few in which you can add in Giratina or Suicune or something

>>58544744
solgaleo with the johto beast engine is probably still the go-to metal deck for beating up on the AI
it crushed the expert mega altaria for me with little effort

How's the Mega Gyarados brews going?

>>58544757
its looking grim
he's the fraud of the set

>>58544757
poorly
it's not putting up great results so far

Haven't played in earnest since the eevee set
any fun decks to try?

>>58544768
brew
(its miserable and not fun)

>always like all my friends showcases on reset
>one of the dudes that likes mine back randomly offers me an Oak
>actually went through with it
Nice

>>58544768
greninja/oricorio is really good right now and that deck is fun to play (albeit cancer to play against)

>>58544773
did you forget brock

>>58544773
>golem deck
>no brock
oh shit nigger what are you doing

>>58544795
>>58544799
I wanted to maximize healing items
Maybe Brock over the Lyras will make it more playable

What packs will you blow your load on in a few minutes once the shop renews?

>>58544397

i think i just won my ticket to 1 oak. or should i just keep it? copycat doesn't seem too useful.

also, fuck you anon who said my deluxe lusamine isn't worth shit. i got a sabrina for it.

>>58544829
imagine fucking copycat chan and she suddenly copies Hala mid-sex

>>58544068
fc: KBZLM2FrvD

>>58544773
i get that you want to wall with snorlax while building golem but between it, ilima, and malasada, that's a lot of wasted deck space. you definitely need a couple brocks so drop the malasadas for those.
also might want to consider replacing snorlax with regirock and just planning on letting regirock die or lyra'ing it, which lets you drop the ilima for like a lillie or something. you're not going to be able to sweep with snorlax if you lead it so better to go with a nonex imo.

My god pack....

>Over 50 packs
>Zero (0) 2* or higher
What kind of seed was planted in my ass for this to happen?
Got this lil' guy at least

>>58544842
damn. that's rough, buddy.

>I now have 2 full art Mays
what can I get for these

>>58544865
a decent chance at oak, which means anything under it too

I wish they would go back to disallowiing trades from the newest set. This is the angriest I've been playing this game.

new pikachu is promo-B, so promo-A is officially over.
trades enabled for promo-A when?

I really don't have a lot of 2 star dupes to trade away...

>>58544891
that's why you trade non-dupes.

I need a Cyrus willing trade anything from here, 2nd pic incoming

I keep getting multiple full arts for the shit I don't use
>Three chandelures
>Now too gloomy
I'm like 80 packs deeps and I don't even have a mega. Not one I can't use but just one in general. I don't have it. At all. Fuck.

6335608105477307 if you're not trollin

just saw a top 5000 jap use a colorless altaria with Do the Wave as a "bypass oricorio" option for his m-altaria deck, honestly pretty interesting

>pull a FA luxray
>immediately recognize that it's by the same artist who did the promo FA zeraora from a while back
we need more cards by this person, they look fucking sick.

>>58544942
that's probably the optimal choice, right? i mean your other options are baby sylveon or risk bricking with a basic. and baby sylveon is good and all, but using it as your oricorio answer means you either have to run a third eevee or avoid using your second sylveon in the oricorio matchup, neither of which are ideal.

>>58544955
the guy who won the recent 200 man used the 90 hp Relicanth
the new trainer makes it less harmful to brick on with it

>>58544970
which deck

I just got my fucking second 2 Star Hala

>>58544973
https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/68ffc3d7dd7011c665c40b79/player/dodorimo/decklist
pretty sure this is what anon was talking about

finally got something from wonder pick again

>>58544982
same

>>58544975
damn. sadly it's probably too late to find a gaynon to trade for one of those.
i was lucky enough to pull mine 20 minutes after the set dropped so i got to trade it for a card i actually wanted, but that window is likely closed by now.

The 185 man tournament is coming down to Blaziken Entei vs Luxray Oricorio. Rooting for the latter.

got addicted to alts
first it was just logging in once a day to pull the daily packs
but now i'm logging each of them every four hours to check for 2* WPs

>mega blaziken premium
finally time to crack my free trial

>>58544995
i fuckin knew luxray oricorio would be good in this meta now that shit like silvally is falling off. it absolutely thrives in a heavy ex meta where most decks only run 1 oricorio answer.

>>58545000
wait until the end of november so you can double up on the missions. you can get two cosmetic sets for the price of one that way.

>golden lilligant
alrighty then

ooh good point, thank you anon, I was just about to confirm

>>58545014

>>58545014
based. i see he's running one of the new luxray and one of the STS one, didn't expect that but it makes sense in hindsight. gotta try that variant myself.

I don't think it's good but anyone have any fucking ideas for archeops?

>Ranked still not up
aaaaaaaaaaaa

I was hoping Dena was generous enough to put monthly Shinedust in the shop...

>>58545024
thanks babe
time to try it out right now

>>58545025
Alright let's see what we're working with here-
>20 damage to all pokemon
>40 damage on the next turn
>stage 2
>140 hp
Oh. So, we have a relatively fragile Stage 2 fossil that does no damage and has no bench ability. How very unfortunate. I suppose, Donphan ex + Arch?

>>58545025
best thing you can do with it is probably a double fossil deck alongside rampardos. aerodactyl/rampardos with cleffa was my petdeck back in WSS, you could try something similar with archeops and may though it'll likely be very tight on supporter space.

>>58545036
with 4 uninterrupted turns of attacking it can kill a backline ex if it doesn't get healed!!!

>>58545036
>>58545040
Yeah probably some single prize only toolbox kinda deck
Would be a great opener if it weren't a fossil
140 is not bad; I think I can definitely get 2 attacks off before death at least, and with cyrus maybe ideally stall by pulling in bad retreat mons
Not sure I like 2 fossil lines though

>>58545052
I'd say Donphan because role compression.
>Stage 1ism is mitigated by guaranteed Phanphy
>Early attacker + ramp attack, because Archeops has no damage
Alternatively, maybe a Silvally deck?

I just love how rigged the AI is

>>58545061
I got mad that my Hydreigon-Sylveon-Absol deck was getting beefed by the AI so I switched to Oricorio-Greninja and turned my brain off

>>58545052
Unironically try Hitmonchan. Maybe just going full early rush down would be best.

>>58545060
I can sort of see donphan working, yeah
Give him the retard helmet and lyra, hope he gets hit early (maybe no helmet then) and hope you get archeops early to swing him back out for archeops to spin while you set him up on bench
Maybe phanpy can give itself the damage I need for lyra
>>58545066
When he dies, what can I do with 20-40 per turn on my last mon?

>>58545052
using archeops with the usual rampardos partners like donphan or silvally sounds very counterproductive since those cards will always be up front first due to archeops being a fossil and after they go down you'll be sitting on a 20 damage archeops instead of a 130 damage rampardos.
i'd say it's best to embrace the gamblecore and just pair it with rampardos and pray.

>>58545064
my problem is how it has the exact number of stuff down to the very last exact HP they need to beat you

I want to remind my luckfriends not to trade your DX pulls for some stupid shit in the height of a new expansion and trade update. There may be a point in our future before DX's return where professor's research gets outmeta'd and your lusamine and lillies or even your special SR's are worth more than that old fart. Certainly much more than this mega crap will.

Imagine a 10 pull with only one 3D at best and still not >1* cards over 70 packs

>>58545089
i very much doubt there will ever be an upgrade to professor's research. other arts are basically confirmed since they added (professor oak) to it in the card dex, but the TCG has never powercrept their version of professor's research and it still sees play to this day despite remaining the exact same card as 25 years ago.

>>58545079
Yeah maybe that's true
I think May might be pretty good here to help get the stage 1 -> 2 pipeline going instead of hoping for candies
And then lead with hitmontop/chan or cleffa

>>58545098
I didn't think we'd get a straight upgrade, yeah. We're probably looking at 11 more expansions until the rerun though, might be a long enough stretch of time to see the powercreep get into overtuned deck search shenanigans where those 2 cards aren't worth the fit.

Does Stoutland counter Mega EX and Hydreigon ?

>>58545114
Blaziken's probably going to run double Flame Patch

>>58545077
You probably lose if Archeops or your second Hitmonchan can't finish the game. The idea is 50 damage every turn may let Archeops knock out mons that retreated to the bench late game. I agree that Donphan is probably better, but I feel it's worth a try with Hitmonchan.

>>58545114
small issue, there's a stouland in your active spot

>play jolteon
>opponent is playing mega gyarados
>turn 4 he evolves into mega gyarados and slams misty
>proceeds to flip, i shit you not, 10 fucking heads and kills his own gyarados thanks to jolteon's ability
i really really wish i had managed to take a screenshot because that was literally a one in a million game and i will never fucking see that again no matter how many games i play with this deck

>>58545126
So is the idea behind the ability that the energy passes through a wall Jolteon sets up and then the opposing Pokemon gets electrocuted when they touch the shocked energy? Because if so, the mental image of a million water energies swarming Gyarados like bees and electrocuting him is hilarious.

>>58545126
It's mad we can't save battle replays and share them yet

>>58545129
Maybe that one PTCGP animator guy on Youtube will portray it that way when he covers Jolteon

>>58545126
As a Gyarafag that sounds hilarious

>>58545139
yeah, that's absolute gold waiting to happen.

kinda want to trade a full retard greninja ex dragonite brew
but i sadly have zero copies of greninja ex

Can anyone gimme a jolteon ex 4 diamond for a 4 diamond from the previous sets ?

>Having a blast trading
>5 day stamina cool down for a full bar

wow lad

I like to flair, not all that much but if I have the means I'll definitely go for it. 2* costing so much fucking shinedust and the slow rate of earning it is already making me think twice on flairing my Serie B shinies and ex's

Looking for Mega Blaziken ex. Would anyone be interested in trading it for Mega Pinsir ex?

>>58545199
Sure. 5227199278502342

>>58545195
yeah, i feel the same way. the high price of 2* trading makes me not want to waste shinedust on flairs, even though they're so much easier to do now that you don't need dupes anymore.

>>58545209
Sent

>>58545209
Thanks!

Professor’s Research Oak will most likely be not powercreeped but will most likely get an alt art featuring a different professor

>>58545236
It's usually the other way, in these kind of card games. Draw 2 cards usually gets banned or limited at one point.

>>58545236
definitely. however, that either won't happen until they do deluxe pack 2 a year from now, it'll be a paid promo card like that one mewtwo and thus not affect oak's value much, or it won't be limited and thus oak will still be the top dog chase card.
oak is also THE pokemon professor that everyone on the planet knows, so even if they do a waifu professor next like juniper or sada he'll still retain most of his value.

>>58544975
it could be worse, you could've gotten fucking MARLON

>>58545179
that'll be one dollar of gold for your next trade please

>>58545253
true in most games, but the pokemon tcg has historically been batshit crazy with the draw power.

>>58545265
It's actually really nice too that they dont. I fkn hate it when games introduce this early, and then take it away.

>AI uses Duplikat when I've got a single card in my hand and it's got five
Jesus wept.

>>58545272
playing mega absol against the promo decks really opened my eyes to just how bad the AI plays.
it'll sit there with one mon on the field and i'll think it's just hard bricking, then i'll attack with mega absol and it turns out the stupid piece of shit has four fucking basics in hand and just didn't play any of them for whatever reason.

It's not winning anything but it's always T3

>>58545447
I pulled Whimsicott but happy to trade it for another EX from this set. Do you have any?

>>58545494
The guy that came in second got super lucky with his road to the final. He lost to every Oricorio Deck, but won against everyone else.

>>58544842
Thank you bro :D

>>58545475
is this the new luxray? or the old one?

>>58545524
Both, the goal is to weaken the mega with the new Luxray and then snipe his ass when he retreats. 3 point cost makes this deck so freaking good.

Premium pass, of course. The event ticket cosmetics this month are Psyduck-themed.

>>58545651
Can confirm Silver is still relevant, especially in M-Gyarados decks to effectively have a chance of discarding hand

I'm unfortunately going to have to temporarily back out of some deals I made here, but if I can recuperate from my dust losses in like, the next week, I'll absolutely do more trades.

I'm specifically talking to those 2 anons that wanted to do Decidueye4Primarina and Leafeon4Guzzlord. Although I will say, my brother keeps playing hard to get with his Leafeon so I'm not sure how that'll go. Sorry again.
