Looking for:
Deluxe EX Lusamine
May
Copycat

Offering:
Anything shown here.

Trading 2* Copycat for 2* May

>>58553370
You should give it a try.
There's always a chance that someone with a funny taste or someone trying to put together a collection with some kind of sentimental value is around.

Which one will define the meta?

>>58553182
Based fellow Lunala enjoyer, makes sense to include Lillie in the binder as well but I personally don't like her enough to chase down all her cards so I filled the rest of mine with Cresselia/Lunatone/Clefairy etc.
Good luck getting the crown/immersive.

>>58553430
>Gyarados is the biggest loser
Oricorio is a mistake

>>58553430
oricorio grenigger probably
with or without suicune

>>58553474
4 energy's just too tall an order

>>58553474
gyarados was the biggest loser from the moment we saw its stat line bro

Pokehubs ads are egregious, cant even type a letter without a 5 minute ad. Close the app, open it back, another ad
Wtf can you do?

>>58553430
How does this deck even work?
Doesn't it take too long to ramp up Tina?
You could just be swinging with Mega Alteria. by turn 3.

>4 energy to destroy 3 cards
>In a game where your opponent normally has already drawn and/or played at least half their deck by Turn 4
What were they thinking? I mean, I know what they were thinking. Mill cards that come online reasonably early/consistently would be turbo AIDS in a game with 20-card decks. But then why print mill cards at all?

is there a bot for farming bot battles or something, I just want the hourglasses

>all the 2* dupes I'm willing to trade are crap nobody is looking for
>of the non-dupe 2* the only ones I am willing to trade are unwanted trash like Probopass and Yanmega
Oh boy

>>58553430
>>58553549
This deck.

>>58553568
it's for going first. the deck obviously runs psychic energy, so when going first you can hit tina ability turn 1, then attach and ability again turn 3, and attach the 4th energy to swing turn 5 which is just as fast as mega altaria could possibly swing.

>>58553564
Thats how it goes. Ive been fighting the desire to trade my only copy of either rainbow leafeon or rainbow sylveon for mars for days now
If only i could give them my FA Sophocles instead

>>58553430
Either Absol Darkrai (really, Absol Oricorio) or Greninja Oricorio. The birdbrain is still the most important card in the meta.

>mega absol only gets a coin, all the other cosmetics are the ugly mega silhouettes shit
fuck, man.

Is there a way view what cards someone on your friends list is missing? They don't have a wishlist set up.

>>58553616
you can look in the share menu
if they already got shared, tough luck

>>58553616
It's shown in the share menu, I think.

Am I the only one who tought Whimsicott EX was just covered with a bunch of used condoms?

>>58553430
Altaria Jirachi beat Entei Blaziken in a tournament

>>58553621
>>58553622
I don't see anything indicating if they own the card or not.

>>58553584
I can't complain too much though, since I naturally got many of the sought-after 2* like Sabrina, Cyrus, Oak, Deluxe Lillie and most recently the FA Mega Blaziken.

>>58553638
That's nice and all but how does it do on ladder?

>>58553564
If it's rainbow Probopass I'm willing to trade for fellow trash cards
>FA Wigglytuff, Crabominable
>Rainbow Alola Diglett
>Hiker, Fisherman

>>58553640
It's divided into sections of "not having a particular card" and "other shit", no?

>>58553647
It's Planeta, making it even less desirable.

Imagine a world with no Planeta...

>>58553653
No

>>58553654
Hmm to be honest I wouldn't mind the Planeta either since I don't find it that ugly
It's just that I got rainbow the other day so I would've preferred to have matching pairs

>>58553632
I was gonna call you a retard but no yeah I see it

Is there even anyone actively collecting Planeta? I dont mind parting with Planeta in exchange for trainers or Raimbows that I dont have

>>58553660
It is, go look again. "Cards Not Registered in Share Partner's Card Dex"

>>58553564
What dupe 2*s do you have? I'm looking for some planeta 2*s to finish the dex.

>>58553675
people building collections of every variant of a card. also some of them just actually look good, like arceus or giratina.

>>58553675
I like some Planetas more and overall don't mind them.

>>58553660
>>58553616
It pushes these to the top while you're gifting a card to a friend, probably other ways to see it but that's the one I know

>>58553675
I like my double Planeta Beedrill and Dialgas, though the former doesn't have a rainbow counterpart anyway
I prefer Planeta Lanturn to rainbow since Planeta shows more of Lanturn even if the rainbow art looks nice

>>58553719
Well that only shows the ones that they don't have but you do

>>58553620
I also WPed that, and then immediately flipped it for Fantina

>>58553675
Planeta for Planeta trades are ironically some of the most soulful trades in the game
I would swap more if I wasn't going to run out of dust

>>58553765
Yeah, they should add dust events. Make us grind for it. Maybe include stamina if they want to monetize it, since I don't think there's any way to buy dust, and thats something whales will buy.

>shiny Incineroar
>Planeta Indeedee
>Lisia FA
>Planeta Mega Ampharos
>Gold Klefki
pretty swole

>>58553658
But...

>>58553815
No idea why Shiny Incineroar is so in demand. I consistently see trades offering the Ex Pack shinies for him.

where can I buy some quality rope

>>58553825
He is? I guess its because its still usable, but thats good to know

>>58553825
because he's a fire starter. people LOVE fire starters, it's why stokezard is far and away the most in-demand 2* shiny right now.

>>58553830
I think he's just beloved. Shiny Greninja and Eevee exs will probably be gangbusters even if they're not viable when they show up in a couple sets.

why are 2* shinies so fucking expensive to trade

anyone want a planeta grenigger? Mostly looking for a rainbow absol or Lisia but will look at other things

>>58553829
if you find some let me know

Wait this share button says you can give up to a 4 diamond card to your friend for free? So I can just give the mega blaziken on my alt to my main without having to trade?

>>58553965
Yeah
As another anon suggested in the previous trade, you could also send the same 4-diamond back and forth across accounts for the free shinedust too

>>58553965
yeah. no need to spend dust on trading diamond cards anymore. only 1* and above are worth using dust for.
>pull on your alt(s)
>do trades on that account if you need something and don't have it
>gift to your main

>>58553985
Dang that's nice. I was asking cause I can't use the share button yet (says I have to wait 8 days to use it) so that's good to know.

so jolteon ex kind of sucks?

>>58553994
no?

a meta tournament being playing right now
for meta fags like some of you fags lol
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc_YzIJtPaM

>>58553994
He's not the greatest but he's certainly no Whimsicott. He sees use, and is viable, more so than something like Pinsir.

>>58553994
He wishes he had another partner besides pikachu of all things but he can hang in there with the stronger decks.

>>58554015
>mega altaria guy beat mega absol guy without even drawing his altaria
jesus
i need some jirachi copies

It's amazing how much support grass gets each set only to still be bad. After Celebi, it had what, Decidueye and maybe counting Leafeon (despite being mixed) as viable? 2/3 meta decks in the games entire lifespan. Erika, Leaf Cape, Liligant, Serperior, doesn't matter.

>>58554015
can't og charizard moltres decks beat these?

>>58554076
I had fun playing one season of Buzzwole

>>58554091
Not the Altaria toolbox, it does well against Altariatina and any Blaziken deck.

>>58554091
GA zard is back to being playable again, yeah.

>>58554096
Ah, Buzzwole was really good too. I forgot about him, even if it was mostly Ultra Beast support doing the heavy lifting. I still think my point about grass support having nothing to support stands though.

This shit is pure cancer right now, only loses when it bricks.

>>58554091
technically?
you just need to draw like a god and your Op not using red card or mars against you

>>58554126
why not run altaria regular instead of sableye
or komala or relicanth

>>58554076
>>58554109
Meowscarada saw some use too. And Egg was really good in STSD.
Grass needs actually good mons though.

>>58554131
you put two copycats in there.

feels good man

>>58554140
you want to swap your mega altarias for more HP bulk. regular altaria is used in altariatina decks

>>58554148
Was that a two for one, or did some retard really give you an Oak for Lickylicky?

>>58554153
1 for 1
and it was me who traded with myself LOL

imagine not having alt farms

>>58554076
the problem is that grass's entire gimmick is being fat and healing, and being fat doesn't count for shit when you still get two-shot through your heals anyway.
like, take venusaur ex for example. mega venu with a grass cape and two copies of lilligant sitting behind it has 260 hp. assuming the player has lillie to heal it, it takes 320 damage to kill it in two turns. this is a fucking nine card combo to set up, btw.
mega blaziken can do that 320 damage to venusaur in two turns for two energy and the three cards needed to play it.

Hitmonchan deck will be popular next tournament, everyone is abusing babies.

>>58554178
How do you even get those zero energy cost cards? I don't have any...

>>58554178
hitmonchan rampardos probably has a good matchup into mega altaria but it eats shit to a lot of other decks

>>58554184
pichu, magby, and tyrogue are from ho-oh and lugia packs
mantyke is from suicune pack
and chingling just kinda shows up in whatever mega packs

most varied meta we have ever had. Even some pinsers and jolteons made it into top 64, there's definitely variety now.

>>58554164
They should just bite the bullet and make Serperior meta again with really strong attacks that cost 6 or 7 energy on some grass mon.

>>58554204
It's just the first week, they'll figure out the 2 decks that every netdecker will be using eventually

>>58554204
deep down not really the last 3 100+ tournaments have all been won by Altaria toolbox

>blaziken barely above 50% win rate
Why are we always wrong

the deluxe pack ruined trading

>>58554214
rough outlook to have, there's several great options that all counter eachother. Blaziken performed the worst because they ignored Suicune, their decks will need a rework. They'll probably have to ditch Entei, that card is still bad. It offers the opponent a chance to get 2 free points, all it does is draw cards.

>>58554221
all eyes were on countering blaziken, so it is what it is. The card is still busted, the deck building just needs more brain power other than entei brute force. If entei dies, all the opponent needs to do is to cyrus in a pokemon on the bench to win. Also getting out mega blaziken fast means nothing, megas that attack first often lose. Your mega blaziken gets up immediatly and attacks a 1 prizer, it means nothing. That means it'll get hit for 130+ by a mega and lose a 1v1.

>GRENINJA EX SUCKS
Dumbass nigger, /vp/ has the worst takes

>>58553538
Does it have a paid version that removes adds? Then you may be able to hack it with Lucky Patcher.

>>58554236
everything seems to be solid, blaziken still had plenty of players in top 64, some people made it with mega ampharos, there was a mega pinser there too. Absol is the most surprising one, it's basically EX Gengar but actually good.

>>58554205
that won't work because serperior as a concept is really bad. being a stage 2 that only exists to support other cards just doesn't work because you're introducing even more points where things can go wrong. like you don't draw serperior, so now your main attacker is literally useless and does nothing... OR you get serperior online but your main attacker is MIA and you lose because serperior can't do shit by itself.
serperior being a benchwarmer is the final nail in its coffin.
a deck like entei/mega blaziken can handle not drawing into blaziken for a while, because you don't care if entei dies as long as you can follow it up with blaziken afterwards. and a deck like mega gyarados just ramps with mantyke and lets it die. but a deck reliant on serperior cannot afford to sacrifice it under any circumstances. you NEED serperior to stay alive, so if it goes down you just lose.

>>58554245
It's EX Gengar on steroids, can even abuse dark amulet as well. Also it's a freaking basic card

Does anyone with an extra copy of M-Gyarados/Altaria need a Sylveon EX 4d ?

I do thnk it's kinda gay that fire/water/electric decks get to run shit, they have so much favortism when it comes to support. Grass, fighting, and steel? Nothing at all.

>>58554259
I can also offer a Tapu Koko
These are probably the only semi-meta relevant cards I can offer

>>58554274
you got any decent 3-diamond cards from the new set? we could do a gift swap instead of a trade

>got a dupe Planeta Rapidash
Who would want this?

maaan I'm kind of tired of this whole trading bullshit
some random guy offered me a squid lusamine for my rainbow infernape, but I just don't want to part with it even if it's the most rational thing to do

>>58554293
listen anon
there's always, ALWAYS someone out there who desperately wants even the lowest value cards
but they probably already have it by now, better luck next set

>>58554293
trade it for someone's planeta tauros

>>58554297
the rational thing to do is to hold onto the cards you like, dumbass. if you don't want to trade rainbow infernape then don't, you clearly want that card more than tentacle sex lusamine.

>really want planeta Giratina to go with the shiny one
>everyone demands FA trainers

>>58554293
just find the one guy willing to trade his oak for it. that's what i did with my rapidash

>>58554311
planeta tina is the best version of tina, and tina is still a relevant card so that's not surprising.
you can probably find a trade anyway though, lots of people want to offload planetas on principle so just throw some rainbows up and hope for the best.

>>58554311
That'll be 1 FA Professor's Research, thanks

>>58554311
just keep rolling for golden pokeball, it'll show up eventually

i just found two irl friends who don't care about the gave and are willing to give me sabrina and cyrus for slop

feels good man

>>58554260
The "identities" they made for grass, fighting, and steel are all fucking shit. Damage mitigation/healing are completely useless. Steel and grass both sort of have ramp, but are either too slow, require too many cards, or have no good targets to actually ramp. Low costed attacks/rushdown for fighting has never been good, and even the newest EX, Hitmonchan, is at about the same powerlevel as fucking Mankey from a year ago (50 damage for one energy but no coin flip). It will never have ramp or draw because they think if you get two Lucarios on the bench ever, it's unfair.

Greninja EX is in the final in a 300 man tourney against Darkrai defeating all the Alteria decks, but the specialists in here claimed it was shit card.

>>58554281
I already received my gift for the day, not that it matters the only dupes I have from the new set are Corviknight and Dusknoir
Because I blew 40/50 packs on Blaziken expecting it to be the best Mega and I only pulled 1

>>58554341
We get it, you want to feel good about your rainbow grenigger pull

>get Rainbow Hitmochan EX.
>Don't give a fuck about him and trade it for a Rainbow Primarina EX.
>Suddenly Rainbow Hitmochan EX appears in WP.
>Nothing else worth it and I have shitloads of clocks, so "why not?"
>ACTUALLY GET IT
I used him as fodder for a Mermaid and yet somehow Hitmochan returned to me, is this a sign? Help me anons, I am scared.

>>58554337
what's funny is that fighting isn't even the best at its own rushdown gimmick. if you want to swing for big damage early on cheap 1-prizers, silvally is right there.

>>58554353
Who asked?

>>58554353
>open my WP window
>nothing yet again
FUCK YOU

>>58554353
trade it away again to see if it's just a coincidence.
if you don't get a third rainbow hitmonchan, you at least got some nice trade fodder. if you do get a third rainbow hitmonchan, you are now legally married to him.

>>58554362
Gonna way a little for that though, out of tokens.

god it feels good to be past that shitty suicune mirror meta
even if it's still a good deck it's not THE ONLY FUCKING DECK THAT GETS TO PLAY THE GAME
seriously, what the fuck were they thinking with that

>>58553675
I'll take planeta or rainbow shuckle

>>58554309
I could get a second oak with the squid though. Considering I'm also still pulling from the palkia pack to get cynthis/mars/cyrus maybe it's really the rational thing to do

Is indeedee meta, should I bother spending 30 wonderglass on it to get a 20% chance to pull it

I got Rainbow Jolteon and I'm not giving it to you

>>58554381
Oh shit I actually have Planeta Shuckle. What do you got?

>>58554402
it's not super necessary, indeedee is just one variant of the mega altaria deck and not even the best one

>>58554406
Anon please i need it don't be selfish

>>58554402
It's good on an Altaria deck variant, but it's slightly worse than the best Altaria deck.

It is so satisfying to be able to get current-set cards, it makes collecting the new set less daunting. Especially now that you can get a trade and a freebie share every day.

>>58554426
The past month was real boring pulling cards we already had and replaying a meta we already experienced

I've opened like 70 packs of the new set and I have yet to pull a single mega pokemon, all I got is a buncha shitty shiny mons

>>58554341
>>58554204
>>58554126
>>58553638
Common Chadrachi win

>>58554433
Enjoy the gacha

Is it just me or do the best pulls come in the 1st two days of release and the last two days of it???

>>58554434
Why did they make it just straight up better than hitmonlee/absol etc. cards

>>58554448
Haven't had a good opening 2 days since triumphant light

>>58554449
only has 50 hp instead of 80 like those guys
not that it really matters

>>58554434
the lack of a full art for jirachi is a crime

>>58554410
>>58554381
I have a Rainbow Shuckle, also curious.

>>58554410
Wugtrio, probopass, bibarrel, palkia, tinkaton, wishiwashi, lickilicky, lucario

>>58554470
I got rainbow lickilicky, clodsire, dhelmise, lycanroc, crabomidable

>>58554464
Beautifly bros we have a new mon to DOMINATE

>>58554468
Rampardos didn't get one but Hydreigon did

>>58553944
Literally just had her in my wonderpick and got spritzee or some shit

>>58554489
can't believe they did a greatest hits pack and fucking CRAWDAUNT of all things got a full art but not rampardos. insane retard shit by dena.

I want to make a deck for my bro aerodactyl, any tips? How fucked am I?

>2-star Tauros in WPs
No thanks.

>>58554494
Cope and seethe metaslurper this is crawdad territory

>>58554514
Its better to shoot your shot and not get it then to never shoot your shot

>>58554509
my advice is to wait for a potential mega aerodactyl. if you really want to do one now, your best bet is probably to just run something like hitmonchan ex/rampardos and throw in aerodactyl ex as potential evolution blocking support. rampardos will still do most of the work, but you can probably catch people out by killing babies or whatever with hitmonchan and then forcing their basics out front to be blocked from evolving by aerodactyl while you work on making rampardos.
it's not going to be great, but that's probably the best thing you can do with it.

I have a spare Shiny Yanmega. Anyone wants to trade one of their shinies for it?

>>58554509
Aerodactyl ex is horrifyingly bad, you are better off using the GAypex one with wills it might be pretty decent against blaziken decks, dunno who you'd run it with doe

No one is looking for Lusamine DX and willing to trade an Oak?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Greninja EX is shit, huh????
Just defeated the so called top1 deck. GTFO HERE

>>58554559
Nevermind i just realized how fucking expensive trading for shinies is

got a full art hydreigon today, any decks without mega absol? I hate that fucking thing, ruined absol forever

>>58554596
I think it's pretty good with Guzzlord

>>58554573
you could run it with eggs, maybe. GA aerodactyl is a colorless card, and eggs already runs will and wants to always lead exeggcute so it could work. eggs' main weakness is things that don't die in one go, and you can remove those with aerodactyl. don't know if it would be better than a pure eggs deck, though. probably not.

>>58554596
You hate it because it's good?

Is arceus still good at all? I have 2 crowns of that fucker just collecting dust

>>58554616
No, because it's transcoded.

Returning player here, any frens here that can help me out by gifting me trainers and staple cards like rare candy/oricorio/picrel?

I would greatly appreciate it ty

>>58553072
Are you the old sea map guy? I'd still like to add you as a friend
I am. What's your friend code?
>inb4 anyone bullies me

>>58554630
>Is arceus still good at all?
nope

>>58554236
>>58554341
>>58554584
no one actually cares bro you can stop posting

>farmed blaziken packs assuming it will be the top deck
>Oh shit it's actually Absol
>Trade away all my relevant cards for Mega Absol
>The Top tier deck is actually Mega Altaria
>mfw

So we can all agree STS had the best FAs right?

>>58554670
Keep trading until Ampharos is meta.

>>58554670
it's between absol, greninja and altaria.
Blaziken is trash and hasn't won any tourney yet.

>>58554596
even the sylveon variant still uses mega absol because there's not really another good cheap dark attacker to follow up hydreigon with. and it has to be cheap because hydreigon is an energy hog.
you could probably make guzzlord work with lusamine to juice it up, dunno.

>believed in Altaria from the start
>it turns out to be the meta pick
Feels good, also been testing out Chandelure, hes fun to play, though I feel like im lacking consistency, I paired him up with Flareon, gave it some touch ups but its still getting destroyed by the quick draw meta of this game, how can I further decimate my opponent?

>>58554674
genetic apex takes the crown for me

>>58554681
>Blaziken is trash and hasn't won any tourney yet.
Even Luxray fucking won one, kek.

>>58554630
Not really. You can maybe try the old Tapu Arceus deck and see if it holds up.

To bring back a question from the previous thread, who are you wanting in future sets whether it be mon or Trainer not yet in?
Regular+EXs:
>Emboar
>Espathra
>Tyrantrum

Specifically EXs:
>Golisopod
>Grimmsnarl
>Mamoswine

Coomer Cards I'd kill for the FAs:
>Skyla
>Bianca (BW & BW2)
>Cheryl

>>58554630
I used it to get to mball the last 2 suicune metas but I doubt it can hold up in the current meta, 140 hp doesn't seem to be enough

>>58554643
we just had a set that reran a lot of staples so there's dupes out the ass for those.
add my alt here and i'll pass you what i can.
9836437075355435

>>58554616
it's a terrible design and I love absol

>>58554643
Don't bother blaziken is ass get on the Altaria train while you can

The first few days of trading were some of the most fun i had with this app. Its incredible how greedy people got so quickly with asking for paypal or two, even three cards for oak

>>58554706
Xatu EX or Porygon-Z EX. But i don't think they are ever happening any time soon.

>>58554724
>You have to use what's the best
what causes a man to have this slave mentality?

>>58554727
I was getting trades left and right, next day people only want oak or may for rainbow shuckle

>>58554706
give me mega mawile or give me death

HOW the FUCK do you get more SHINEDUST?!?!?!?!?

>>58554733
>porygon-z ex with a glitch ability that nullifies other abilities
would be cool as shit

>blakizen is ass
lmao every deck is built around at least checking it

>>58554724
doesn't matter if blaziken is a middling deck as opposed to the top dog, people are gonna play it and have fun because when it does go off it feels fucking strong
just like how stokezard has always been popular despite having a bad winrate
it's just fun bro

From someone who plays Yugioh, is Mega Blaziken EX the maliss of the meta (i.e., prepare to deal with it or die)?

>>58554706
Mega Steelix... Mega Abomasnow... Mega Medicham...
SAVE METAL/GRASS/FIGHTING SOCIETY!

Top6 strongest decks right now.
Blaziken being the weakest one

>>58554748
Stop wasting your time in trade servers and become a flairGOD. I have 500k and can't ever see myself having less than that

>>58554769
ok but whats the best deck to get the "win without letting the enemy get a point" missions

>>58554767
Kinda. Oricorio is far closer. Literally every deck has to have something to counter it or it autowins pretty much. Still one of the (or just the) highest winrate mon.

>>58554706
Regular+EXs
>Victini
>Annihilape
>Ribombee
Specifically EX
>Mega Chandelure
>Mega Drampa
>Kyurem
Coomer card I would give my Oak out for
>Hilda

>>58554769
jirachi is ass
why are people using it?

>>58554788
bench sniper and baby killer

>>58554757
Charizard was always going to be a popular regardless of how strong its cards actually are. Even i go back and play GA charizard in unranked because its fun one shotting meta decks that brick

>>58554788
*bonks your squishy pre-evo or baby*
OOPS! Did *I* do that?
*laugh track*

>>58554779
im poor BECAUSE IM FLAIRING ANON

>>58554767
nah, that's oricorio. pretty much every relevant deck has to pack a dedicated oricorio answer or they auto-lose in that matchup. it's never been oppressive, but its mere existence does warp deckbuilding.

>>58554757
Stokezard won tournaments as recently as last season.
Unlike Cucklazen

>>58554337
Hitmon chan pisses me off so much dude. The ability makes no sense, oricorio already exists to counter it. It being able to hit for weakness would not have been an issue at all

>>58554813
>>58554784
Damn, yeah that sounds more apt then

>>58554839
But think of the colorless! It could one shot-
*checks notes*
Uh... Type Null with Giovanni?

Did they just ruin ex stage 2 pokemon forever? Why would you ever play them anymore. I cant think of a single one that is viable anymore aside from a few exceptions.

>>58554706
It would be nice if we get an Ex version of fossilmons like Omastar, Kabutops and Ramparados.

>>58554853
they should have just rotated the A set out

>>58554852
Yeah like 70dmg isnt a signficant break point whatsoever. One of the intentional plus sides of fighting is that it hits so many pokemon forever weakness and hitmonchan just loses it lol. Dena blows, game is in a decent spot but they need to throw a bone to grass/steel/fighting/dragon already

>>58554858
>rampardos ex
jesus fuck please no
motherfucker would do 200 for 2 energy

>>58554867
60 is a very significant breakpoint though
they don't want you killing basics turn 2 with just one card

>>58554882
God forbid fighting type gets something nice. Other decks should just run cape or higher hp pokemon if they dont wanna lose to hitmonchan.

>>58554858
Ex fossils would be fucking awesome
>>58554853
It's more just like looking at what stage 2s work and why.
>Greninja
free 20 damage, anywhere
>Blaziken
massive nuke
>Luxray
nuke, anywhere, Oricorio cleans up

So something like an Ex with an ability like Greninjas (maybe 30 damage) would be good, or an Ex that can deliver 100+ damaged to anyone like Luxray (albeit Luxray greatly benefits from being 1 point and a great type)

>>58554868
I'm pretty sure they could balance that out. maybe an increased retreat cost and higher recoil damage?

another spooky brew

>>58554853
blaziken is good, greninja is good, luxray is good, hydreigon is good

+may made it easier to get them faster
the fuck you mean they are ruined??

>>58554897
Only one of those is ex but ultimately I agree with you, stage 2s aren't ruined, they just need stronger stage 2s.

>>58554887
or you could just run giovanni and stop bitching
fighting has rampardos who was meta every single set up until now and you're complaining about it not doing enough early cheap damage? fuck off

you don't just play meta do you? you do try and play with your favourites right?

>>58554908
My favorite is gengar mate

>>58554897
He said stage 2 ex. blaziken is a mega ex, luxray, greninja and hydriegon are non-ex. Greninja ex is a decent card but is not game defining

>>58554908
go on, anon
tell me how i'm supposed to build a mawile deck

>>58554914
There's always mega Gengar on the horizon

>>58554918
play her with will bro

>>58554908
I never play meta decks i use my boy melmetal whenever i can

>>58554929
my nigga, been enjoying the new ex?

>>58554908
I cook radioactive stuff but only use it after reaching master

>>58554908
oh yeah let me just bring out my Vanilluxe A-Ninetales brew

>>58554928
if she did enough damage to be an oricorio answer in a tinkaton deck i would
but no, she doesn't

To this day there is still no counterplay against indirect damage

>>58554939
Why do people keep falling for the meme? He's meh, move on. Your slop ain't the breakthrough he needs, broski.

>jolteon is shit
RIP

>the best way to play Wailord is with Skitty
Now this I need to try

>>58554951
to recycle misty? that's a funny idea

>>58554908
Ok Karen

>>58554942
Your Indoodoo?

>>58554935
I havent been able to get a second one to use yet :(

>>58553564 I was able to trade a RR Wishiwashi for an FA Umbreon

>>58554970
wishiwashi is needed for a secret emblem

>>58554968
did you get a share yet today? i've got more melmetals than i need.

always remember to check your expired wonder picks, anons.

>>58554994
Yea ive got my share already. Thank you though.

>>58555030
You don't need to remind anyone to do that, it's no different than second regular wonder picks. The chance you'll never get the card is the exact same.

what do you prefer, shiny or full art Oricorio?

Looking for shiny Magikarp, Weedle or Eevee, got pic related to offer, plus 2 Voltorbs 1 Electrode.
My FC: 7610-4745-9798-4730

>>58555050
i knew a guy who was adamant that expired wonder picks would never have 2-stars. never hurts to tell people that's not true, even if it should be obvious.

>>58555065
shiny ngl

>everyone is abusing alts to get cards
>fuck it, lets try that
>MFW
So the drawback is having to wait 14 days... I can wait for that.

>>58555067
I will trade Magikarp for a Torracat

>>58555099

Here is my ID:
8798669242276427

>>58555065
full art, and by a lot. i can't stand 1-star shinies, they're so impossibly fucking ugly.

>>58553081
>>58553252
some one traded you a lillie? damn
i was spending money and opening a ton of packs to get her by couldn't

>8284369982385585

Not a substantial amount of things I'm able to trade, mostly Shinyslop and Platenaslop, but looking to trade the Lusamine for the Deluxe EX Lillie mainly, and the Buzzwole (and a spare Palkia I forgot to put down) for Deluxe EXers for Solgaleo, Mewtwo, Ho-Oh, Charizard, Dialga, or Eevee, and the Cyrus for Lisia or Fantina, but I'm open to other offers. Incineroar has to go because I hate it, willing to take just about anything for it unless it happens to be a repeat I got. Ask if I got anything else too, and I can check for it. Thanks in advance.

>>58555114
getting a lillie isn't hard, it's just about having a card someone wants. i traded one of my spares for a red.

>>58554936
>Heavy Helmet Stakataka

Pretty spicy, I may pick this up

>>58555104
>>58555099
adding you. snorlax pfp.

>>58555116
any other waifu you'd like for that cyrus? Like Jasmine maybe?

>>58555087
any good guides to doing so?

>>58555087
You don't have to wait 14 days, that's only for sharing. Trading is locked until you reach a certain level, which you can get to by doing solo missions, which you need to do anyways to get the hourglasses to open packs for shinedust.

>>58555116
>cyrus for fantina
really? that's kind of a hefty trade for a fantina. i have a fantina, and i would take you up on that if you wanted to, but it's definitely one-sided.

>>58555148
I'd probably be willing to bend for Sabrina, but Lisia and Fantina are my current desires for an Altaria/Mismagius deck brew I want to try out, with Lisia bias since she's my actual favorite Hoenn character. Fantina just because good art, because I just remembered it won't work with Mismagius EX this morning and disappointed myself.

>>58555067
If you want a 2nd copy, I'll trade Magikarp for Gabite

>>58555157
Is that so? it says I have to wait 14 days, ill keep pushing the level then
>>58555156
Not that I know of, its pure happenstance but you get a lot of packs and hourglasses to work with

>>58555171
sure, post you fc or add me.

>>58555156
here's a step by step guide from an alt abuser:
>make alt
>pull cards
>repeat
hope this helps

>>58555104
Okay enjoy your fish

Anyone want a leaf? Im looking for cyrus or oak

>>58553430
Looking a lot healthier than last meta. I expect to have some sleeper strats people still haven't discovered yet.

>>58555147
Thanks to you, the whole gang is here

>>58555181
Nice, thank you

Help me out bros
>2nd Cyrus or 2nd Mars?
>2nd Irida obviously, but then should I open 60 packs of TL for a trade fodder Irida?
>2nd Joy, or fodder Red?
>fodder Guzma or fodder Lillie (since I have 2 DX Lillie)?
>should I open 29 packs for a 2nd Lusamine if I have 2 DX Lusamine?
>84 packs to get a 2* RRFlareon or RRSylveon; worth it?
>61 packs to get an 2nd Lyra or 2nd Silver; worth it?
>23 packs to get a trade fodder RREntei
What should I do?
>stop paypigging
I've already resolved to do that now that trading exists.

Man that Cyrus pull ages ago really did wonders for me. I haven't actually played the game in ages, is there a functioning Alonan Raichu team I can make? At the very least for PvE.
>>58555116
Like that other anon said you can get more than that for Cyrus.

>>58555218
A little perturbed they aren't in order

>>58555225
Cyrus has a lot of value, you'd be able to ask for literally anything because hes as common as Oak

>>58555225
>Cyrus for sure, it's the next most valuable after Oak.
>whatever you want
>fodder Red
>Lillie holds better value I feel
>egh, i don't think so
>no just trade for them with your extra 2-stars
>i don't think so
>maybe, Entei stocks are good right now

If you have lots of multiples you can trade for a bunch of that stuff without opening tons of extra packs, you just need to be savvy with finding trades.

>>58555166
>>58555229
Alright, I guess in that case, I'll just hang onto the Cyrus for Lisia, in that case, that'll be the actual one I want cause she's meta-worth it and also a favorite character. Thanks for the advice, but sorry if that wrecks some potential trades.

>>58555232
Oh alright, for you then

>>58555225
Definitely Cyrus
Not worth it
Fodder Red
Fodder Lillie.
Maybe. Trade value isn't great because most people want the jellyfish version but you're pretty close
Not worth it
Not worth it
Probably worth it because you're pretty close.

>>58555116
would you trade Cyrus for a DX Lillie?

>>58555225
>STS
get the second cyrus. some decks use 2 cyrus, no decks use 2 mars.
>TL
irida isn't necessarily the best card to pick for trade fodder there. you're probably better off holding onto the 1250 points and advertising as having every single TL 2* for trading. rainbow chomp and the rainbow eeveelutions are high-value rainbows and people do in fact trade great cards for them. don't lock yourself into just one card.
>SR
second PCL. again, some decks use 2.
>CG
like with TL, you can get a lot out of saving the points and not picking just one option for fodder. there are some great rainbows in the set, especially decidueye.
>EC
i wouldn't open packs there. not a lot of demand for EC 2*, and if you really want a second lusamine you can just trade stuff you pull. i saw like four people offering EC lusamine for planeta (not rainbow) jolteon ex when i was looking to trade mine. it's low value.
>EG and WSS
not worth pulling for that many packs.
>SS
i have no idea if rainbow entei is in demand or not. just b urself.

>>58555266
yeah, definitely keep the cyrus and trade her for lisia. if you traded for my fantina, it'd be really hard to get a lisia after that since she's in super high demand. cyrus is good enough to get her, most cards aren't.
you can scoop up a fantina with something less valuable.

>>58555225
Something i think you should heavily consider is trading me your leafeon RR for my planeta Probopass EX just to fill out your collection

>>58555285
>trade her for lisia
him, goddamnit. i'm not that retarded, i swear.

1st Lisia, 2nd copycat or 2nd may, what are we saying?

>>58555267
Based.

any kind soul willing to trade away a 4d M Blaziken and/or 4d M Absol

>>58555297
diversify your porfolio bro
go with lisia, a lot of decks only run those cards as one-offs anyway

>>58555297
Lisia, always get something new if you can

>Altaria chimi is soo scaryyy bohooo
Stop netdecking you faggots I see right through you retards who pick the recent big tournament winner. You think I ain't gonna make a counter deck especially for you retards? Kek

>>58555297
I'm seeing some decks with either 2 Copycat, 2 May, and 2 Lisia, or some mixture. I would rate them May ≥ Copycat >>> Lisia. Lisia is much more meta dependant, but her existence will make or break some decks depending on if their starters have 50 or 60 hp.

>>58555305
what 4d cards do you have? i have some spare absols

What can i get for a 2* sophocles. I hate him staring at me in my collection

>>58555319
brother i wouldn't take that card if it was fucking free
my advice is to roll an alt and use it as fodder to bum a 2* off that account, literally NOBODY wants him

>>58555312
based antimeta fag
keep kill 'em bro

>>58555319
Post a tribute to him and I'll trade you a spare DX Lillie.

>>58555285
Just outta curiosity, what would you take for the Fantina, just naming stuff off the top of your head? I do have multiples on rainbow Raikou and Yanmega I could cough up I forgot about, and a Looker and Gary I could cough up I got singles of only, but that'd probably be about it in terms of substantial product.

>>58555319
If you find out let me know. Almost done day 4 of trying to find a home broken enough to take him

Dont know why pocket is so allergic to making cards with existing specific support good. Why not make a good mismagius, raichu, driftblim, heracross etc?

>>58555315
Lisia always brings the looming threat that a strong card can benefit from her in some random set months from now. Like if something like froakie gets a 50 HP variant at some point

>>58555319
I think this is one situation where rolling an alt and offloading him is the best scenario. Sorry anon

>>58555312
>go to limitless
>ctrl+f hitmonchan
>first deck from the top is hitmonchan rampardos
>click top decklist
>it's hitmonchan rampardos with chingling
something something glass houses

>>58555318
From the new set, only M Pinsir spares, and a bunch from past sets. I haven't been pulling shit this set, unfortunately. Is there anything at all you might need?

>>58555225
Cyrus can be traded for anything so think about that

>>58555353
How long would it take for an alt to
>get a 2* I want on my main
>get the 25k shine dust to trade it
haha...

>>58555331
i was mainly hoping to use the waifu factor to get something like gladion or will, deck-specific but still viable supporters that people are more likely to trade. i play to play nonex focused decks where i can so rainbows don't appeal to me much, i'd rather have supporters to go with my 1* full arts.

>>58555346
They might, but they'll be ex Pokemon and thus not elligible to be used with such supporters. This is already the case for Mismagius.

>>58555355
Anon chingling is good. Also the second last Ramardos on limitless also has it in their deck. It literally kills off rare candy abusers. Without it Hitmonchan Rampardos is just too slow.

>>58555323
>>58555332
Fucking tell me about it. Think about how many trainers didn't get a card but GODDAMN SOPHOCLES did

>>58555364
if you do the bonus missions this week, and the new bonus missions next week, not that long! Shinedust is being handed out currently for lots of things, it's the best time to do it.

>>58555374
I do actually have a Gladion I was using for purely binder purposes, but I never cared for him, think Soivally decks are gay, and thought USUM sucked ass, so I'd be willing to part for Fantina, in that case. Say the word if so, FC's in the initial pic posted up above.
>>58555116

>>58555360
i need a mega pinsir actually so that's perfect. i pulled a shitload of blaziken packs already and i don't intend to pull more, but i managed to miss 4d mega pinsir somehow.
add me and let's trade.
9836437075355435

Why is Jirachi good in Altaria decks but baby Absol not good in Absol decks? Is the ability to attack active that much better that the HP difference doesn't matter?

>oak this cyrus that
what are the most valuable cards?

>>58555395
fuck yeah. quagsire pfp btw

>>58555030
What kind of dumb retard wouldn't check all available wonder picks exactly?

>>58555405
trade sent.

>>58555156
Only important thing is to start with the pikachu Pack, so you have a decent Fire deck to tackle the grass PVE jobbers

>>58555410
i mean to be fair /tcgp/ is a retarded general even by /vp/ standards

>>58555400
Presumably it's just because Absol can't afford it. It usually already runs Pichux2 Oricoriox2, any more basics and it gets tougher to use Mega Absol.

>>58555386
i've realized that after a trade i made yesterday i don't actually have nearly enough dust to both trade the fantina and then trade gladion to my main, so i'm gonna have to pass for now and revisit the idea of trading her in a couple weeks when i have 15k more dust.
apologies.

>>58555445
Not a prob, save my code if you want, offer's always open when you got the dust. I'm sitting on 999,999, so no rush for me.

>check shinedust
>went from 1.5mil to 200k
There's no fucking way. I don't even remember trading that many times.

>>58555400
baby absol doesn't hit the active, and more basics is bad when you can't use lisia to search your deck for the mons you need.

How did (You) get your Oak/s?

>>58555468
I didn't

>>58555452
saved your code. if i don't luck into another 2* i want by the time i get back to 50k, i'll hit you up.

>>58555468
made an alt 3 days before they removed deluxe packs

That’s how mine went, glad I got a playset. They got Day 1 FOMO’ed hard.

>alt 3 pulled one from a pack
>alt 8 pulled one from WP
>alt 5 pulled two in a fucking godpack
>some guy offered me one for a rainbow 2 hours after the set dropped and i wasn't gonna say no to that
simple as

>>58555468
WP from friend day 2. I missed 6 4* WPS After it

>>58555468
2 from pulls and 1 from WP.

>>58555489
the day 1 fomo is great. saving glasses is more important than ever, since if you pull a good 2* right after reset you can get whatever the hell you want.
t. got myself an oak for planeta mega gyarados

>>58555142
I've been running Rhyperior Rampardos vs the cpus with some okay mileage. Heavy Helmet is a fun card in general. Kangaskhan enthusiasts, I recommend they get to brewing too!

>>58555510
I intend to do the same tactic next set for May and Copycat. The window is usually before the ranked matches.

I bet they’ll be thrilled showing off their RR Megas facing those Oricorio/Luxray/Zera decks

Okay, I'm going to beg. Is there anyone willing to gift/trade me a single 4d Greninja EX? I can give you a Japanese Suicune or pretty much any older EX in the game. Or a Mega Ampharos.
8248414562178187

>>58555625
Whats 4D Greninja? you mean the Planeta one? If so you gotta give something of the same rarity

>>58555649
I assume 4 Diamond which means the 500 pack points version

>Hit the 2 stars Rapidash EX in the wonder pick today
Looks ass, but still, nice.

>>58555468
I don't care about Oak

>got Planeta Mega Gyarados in WP from a /vp/ bro
Will never use it, but better than nothing I guess.

>>58555468
Didn't and still don't want it
Rerolled alt accounts to secure lusamine and lillie though

>the thought "I wish I could win the lottery so I could rip more pocket packs" just popped into my head

lmao

accepting trade for english language rainbow mega ampharos

>>58555866
Its a girl, always has been

>>58555867
You mean like primeape?

>>58555890
at least primeape could evolve into annihilape whenever they add that card
sandslash is permacucked because it has no evolution

>>58555823
autobattle ironically requires you to actually pay attention so you can turn it off if it might do some random bullshit
e.g. it seems to always use a supporter if possible, even if it makes your position worse (like use Leaf for no reason but not retreat even if it would make sense)

>>58555157
Ive reached level 11 and it still has not unlocked, there's a time limit now

>>58555899
Sandguillotine in Gen 10, trvst the process

>>58555867
*puts on nerd glasses*
uhm akshually you can get Sandslash from a searchable basic which means it's better if you aren't running Rampardos and only Cranidos like a psychopath!
>>58555899
*adjusts nerd glasses*
uhm akshually, Sandslash is weak to grass while Primeape is weak to psychic so they're very different!

What happens if I use May's card but I don't have pokemon in the hand to put in the deck? Or the game doesn't allow me to use may if I don't have two mon in hand?

>>58555973
i kneel, pedant-sama...

>>58555977
It fizzles for no effect

>>58555977
if you have 1 pokemon in hand you only get to keep 1 of the 3
if you have 0 pokemon in hand you don't get to keep shit, all it's good for is to activate silvally if you were running silvally with may for some reason

>>58555977
It's used, it just puts the mons you got back. Niche tech for Silvally.

>>58555988
So is basically a worse pokemon communications? That one at least doesn't take the support slot.

>>58555997
I'd say it's an upgrade, because it allows you to choose. I don't feel like the Supporter economy is that crowded anyway.

>>58555997
nah, it's way better
it pulls 2 out instead of 1 and lets you choose which to keep AFTER you see the cards unlike comm which makes you put back in first
in a deck that doesn't run a ton of mons it's very easy to get to the point where it's basically just a direct search for a card you need while comm is a coinflip

Anyone else have a hard time parting with non-dupe 2*s? Even if they're trash I'll never use or look ugly, my inner collector screams at the idea of not having them anymore. Do they vanish from your "dex" or does it still consider that you owned them at some point?

>>58555872
>I can offer
Absolute dogshit mate, zip it up

>>58556030
I do. I still want to fully complete the genetic apex set so i feel like a retard actively seeking shit like exeggutor

I like the Planeta Megas more than their RR. Except Absol. Absol is probably the best card in the game.

>>58556030
that's the exact reason why Oak is still on my alt, I'm waiting for a 2* dupe like a retard

>>58556030
they don't vanish from the card dex, though they will say "not obtained" if you click on them.
i traded a hala to an anon here and it still shows him in my dex.

>>58556034
Hey you never know. Yesterday I got english rainbow mega absol for a rainbow decidueye

>>58555468
Paid four Shop Tickets for them

Are the retards that were only begging for Oaks gone yet? The trading sites were pretty unusable with all the spam

The hitmonbros are back in business.

>>58556041
rainbow mega absol is such a gorgeous card. i'm glad it's playable too, because that means i get to look at it all the time.

>tfw no one will accept my outdated meta rainbows, rainbows with cool art, or straight absolute dog shit planetas for their Copycat or Lisia
I'm only being half ironic here, I wish someone would trade me.

I underestimated Rillaboom, i didn't think you could just activate on the bench. Flipping heads and being able to pick what mon i want in the active is clutch

>>58556087
Yeah, but that shit is so slow. Its a stage 2 and needs 4 energy to attack.

>>58553403
Sent. Sorry for the delay lmao. I figured out that buying 1,250 pokeballs gives you a full amount of shinedust for a trade.

>>58556093
Thats why i paired him with kartana and shuckle. 1 energy 1 retreat

>>58556087
It's an okay alternative to greninja but they serve the same role pretty much

>>58556085
Don't lose hope, anon. I manage to trade my rainbow decidueye for rainbow mega absol just yesterday. Also a few days ago I manage to get deluxe lillie for cynthia. All cards I get are in english

>>58556104
What sites were you using? Seems like everyone is just asking for Oak from all the shit I could find

>>58556120
Pokehub, but you need to be patient

>>58556085
the new waifu cards are tough. the demand is extremely high, and there aren't people sitting on multiples like there were for old supporters. i got a mars for rainbow glaceon because the guy had 4 fucking copies of mars, but that would never happen with lisia.
i don't want to trade my oak for one so i'm hoping the demand slows down over time.

>>58556120
Yeah the people asking for legitimate trades come up and once their gone then youre left seeing nothing but oakfags
You have to keep looking, right place right time

>>58556120
trading apps and stuff work like the GTS did. some guy asks for some meme shit like a mewtwo for his weedle, that trade stays up forever. some guy asks for a reasonable trade like a haunter swap so both sides get gengar, that trade goes quick and disappears. and eventually all the retard trades stack up.

>>58556120
>>58556130
I want to add that when you use pokehub, use publish page and publish your own trade offer

>seeking Oak
>offering Cyrus
who are these people trying to fool?

>>58556169
i mean, cyrus is easily the second most valuable card behind oak. it's far from the least reasonable trade out there. not everybody wants to do the faggy multi-card discord trade shit.

My friends I think I made a mistake. I traded my FA Copycat for DX Lillie. Turns out that some people are willing to give Oak for Copycat. I fell for the kawaii waifu train.

>>58556104
LETS FUCKING GO

>>58556183
you can grind for a Cyrus tho
you can only pull so many Oaks
personally I'd only trade Oak for ex pack 2 stars
I'd probably just hold onto it tho

>>58556206
damn, grats on the trade bro

>>58556206
You had another irida, right?

Im so glad i managed to get my FA Cyrus from wonderpick before all this madness

>>58556222
i started in STS and i pulled mine when i was like level 4. didn't even know 2-star trainers were special until i got my ass beat online and started looking up stuff about the game.

>>58556206
that's fucked up

>>58556212
Thanks! But now the real question, should I trade it for a Copycat, which I want 2 of?

>>58556212
I'm >>58555225, so maybe I'll open packs to get that 3rd (2nd) Irida after all. Maybe. I don't really play Water decks anyways.

>>58556238
Shhh

>>58556238
Delete the post sir repost is prohibited

>>58556202
No you did good. Deluxe wont be available for another year thus nobody can currently just get more

>>58556246
Anon, what display is this? Where you got it? Is not in the shop.

>>58556202
You can get Oak for Lillie.

is it just me or is pokehub really fucking slow right now
did they hit critical mass of retarded oak trades

>>58556276
Lol you can't afford that

>>58556280
People took off everything theyre looking for except oak, may, lisia
I haven't had any luck the past 2 days. I still get trades on poketrade

>>58556276
you buy it with the special tickets that you get from deleting rares or buying one for 300 shop tokens

do either hub or trade let me search by what i can offer?
sounds more interesting than looking for specific cards i want only to see oak after oak

>>58556279
>oak for lillie
Maybe if you throw in another card

>>58556290
how does poketrade even really work
i see people with planetas and FA trainers on their wishlist and they're offering a bunch of random shit
how are you supposed to know what the fuck they want for their red if they have both lillie and planeta pikachu in their fucking wishlist

>see a good trade
>they're offering a spanish copy
god fucking damn it

>>58556294
yeah, you can look at what people are giving for a specific card on hub. dunno about trade, i don't use it.

>>58556299
Offer and find out. The initial few days of two star trading i got some wild value like planeta machamp for rainbow crobat.

>>58556299
Usually they'll ghost you but just shoot your shot. If they didn't want you offering a card in their wishlist then they should remove it

>see cool jolteon card in WP
>get excited
>takes me a second to realize it's the eevee grove 1-star and not the new 2-star rainbow
kek i'm retarded

>>58556303
I dont my Hoja and Rojo i got for Planetas

>>58556206
But Irida is way more meta relevant

>>58556321
el rojo...

>>58556321
>I dont mind my*
I type faster than i read

>>58556322
I dont think anon cares about meta relevant when it comes to his waifu harem

>>58556322
the best deck in the game right now is altaria toolbox, though. it keeps topping tournaments.
and that deck runs lisia.

>>58556327
Nah, it's Darkrai/Absol, the toolbox deck got swept by both Darksol and Greninja the last two 200+ tournaments.

>>58556306
Neat, looks like I can trade my Wiggly 2* for some other shitmons I actually want

>>58556343
and the big 730-man tournament yesterday was won by altaria toolbox. it's the sign of a healthy meta that the same deck doesn't win every tournament, but there's still a clear best deck.

>>58556327
Look at this beauty

>>58556363
All you're showing me is that Absol Darkrai went 11-2 to your 10-3.

How long until you think some of the less used trainers get retrains? Like another Misty card that gives a guaranteed energy to something like Mega Starmie or Gyrados EX?

>>58556370
I am showing you how I swept against every Altariafag that came my way.

absolsisters what the fuck is this? second place at 12-3 when first place got 14-1? we were supposed to be the best deck, this can't be happening!

>>58556382
Retard that was yesterday.
This is from today's 330 man tourney. Alataria got figured out.

>>58556389
what will be your cope when it wins again tomorrow?

>>58556393
It won't kek, just check all the tourney results from today. Missed out on all top3 placements. When a deck has a very dominant showcase, people start to build specific counters for it.

>>58556343
saying mega absol is the best deck in the meta because it topped one tourney is pretty dumb. there haven't been a lot of tourneys yet, and rogue decks run away with tourneys all the time. this was from a 300+ tourney a few days before mega rising dropped, no suicune/greninja in the top 3. does that mean suicune/greninja is actually shit and koko/corio and stokezard were the best decks in the secluded springs format? of course not.

Do you guys actually care about your cards languages? Its all about the art for me. Traded my cynthia for a Chinese leaf and couldn’t care less

>>58556402
right, because the darkrai absol from today running the same lists as the darkrai absol from yesterday totally built a specific counter for it
lmao

>>58556427
For collectors who want to show off the card in the binder or display it's going to show in the original language so that should be the main reason for all the OCD. If it's a truly rare card then I'll take what I can get

>>58556427
i like to put them in binders and look at them, so i do kinda care. stuff with moonrunes is not really appealing.
that being said, what i care about most is the name. a lot of the names are the same as english in french and portuguese for example, but everything is different in spanish and that prickles my autism.

>>58556418
Babystokezard and Koko got figured out very late and ended up topping really well. Greninja/Suicune obviously was the most consistent oberall, but like i said, a meta only becomes stagnant when it is solved and look and behold, two new decks emerged one month after the release of the spring The deck that topped this tourney literally went unbeaten.

>>58556435
For physical id agree but in a digital card game it matters less to me.

>>58556100
Thank you, anon.
I appreciate it.

>I figured out that buying 1,250 pokeballs gives you a full amount of shinedust for a trade.
Wow, thank you for going the extra mile. I kind of feel bad now.

>>58556429
Why you lying the 700 tourney had no copycat and no 2nd cape.

>>58556427
english is good
chinese & japanese are good and can, depending on the card, be an aesthetic improvement
french is good depending on the card

pass on anything else, usually

>>58556470
ah yes copycat, notable good card into altaria decks which vomit 300 cards onto the field turn 1 and discard their own cards with sableye.

>>58556427
Some I do, some I don't
I am fine with any language for PCL or Merchant, others I would look up what their names in other languages are first
Also depends a lot if the trade I want is very unlikely to happen if I get too picky, whether it's a card I'm looking for or trying to get rid of

>>58556649
yeah
i wouldn't care about a lisia or copycat being non-english but if i'm doing a trade for giovanni you bet your ass that card has to be english

>>58556593
Why do they use sableye anyway

>>58556783
it's a basic that kills funnybird and retreats for 1. other 1-card oricorio answers like komala or relicanth have retreat costs of 2.
