TotT: Do you see the new Trevenant being used for competitive play?

>TotT: Do you see the new Trevenant being used for competitive play?
It may be able to slow some things down in particular and it stacks with Head Ringer, but why do that when you've got the item-locking Trevenant around anyway? You can slow down anyone's deck that way.
>>24761148
I was thinking of using the new Trevenant as well as the Item Lock one in a Gengar deck. I didn't think about Head Ringers, that would be a good idea too.

What's that "cheat engine" and where can I get it?
I couldn't find it on google
Who is your most surprising bro, /vp/?
This thing has safed me so many times,I'd say it's a big part of the fun I have with myMono-Fairy Deck!
Sup /vp/, I'm more familiar with Magic the Gathering's strategy level when it comes to game play (I have a white/black enchantment stall Constellation deck) and I'm curious how strategic this game can get. Obviously it's much simpler but can you still plan shit out and make an unstoppable nightmare or a troll deck?
I'm wanting to snag one of those old Regirock Stone Heart decks from Ancient Origins since there's still a few hanging out in my area.
>>24761428
I'm in the middle of switching from mtg to ptcg. I like the gameplay a lot and there's quite a bit of depth when it comes to strategy. Obviously it never gets as complicated as counterspell wars or the like but there's a lot of nice tricks you can do. And I built a descent standard deck for the price of one fetchland, that's something I like a lot too of ptcg
>>24761451
>>24761428
standard is really simplified as of now
as they just cut the card pool in half
if you want to build some worthwhile complex decks I suggest to stick around expanded
though expanded is seeing less and less play now
right now seems to be a good starting point for standard though
getting into the game and with xy10 we'll actually have a metadeck that is strong enough to allow usually worse decks score better because they build a perfect counter to the single meta one, creating some depth to counters and mindgames
give it time.
>>24761337
I use it in my Granbull meme deck. It's pretty solid, but the Tasting one is even better.
>>24761428
In the Standard you can win a game like 5 turn before the "end" just because you have THE card in your hand. Pretty shit , there's no good hand disruption. that ruins every strategy attemp.
And expanded is a mess
>>24761314
Still, this is a serious question, farming those challenges is really boring
>Buying boxes

The fact that you don't play it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Yeah, N was better than all of those but you have to adapt, that's the point of Standardbesides forcing you to buy more cards.
>>24761517
>Buy a 3 pack Celebi Blister

So just don't bother then?
>>24761086
At least it could see some use in the next rotation.
How the fuck do you stop Teammates? I can't just wait because my opponent will get DCE eventually, and I can't kill anything because they'll just grab DCE and their Stadium and Pumpkaboo will put me in the oven.
New bundle is pretty sick. Only real downside is I already have the coin from Dark Hammer.
Full Art Korrina
4 Breakthrough Packs
Blue Lucario Coin
>>24762010
Try judge or red card. Get rid of their vs seeker or teammates. Otherwise spam hammers and xerosic until they've discarded all their DCE
>>24761930
If you want to play , play it , the game is funif you are not playing against seismitoad ex
Some staple cards are a bit expensive because they are from "older sets". And standard format is a bit slow right nowif don't use shaymin ex
>>24762192
I just wanted the Rock Golem Deck and a Boston event set.

>>24762460
Nevermind, I finally got it from the Rock Club leader.

>>24762580
Got 3 Hitmonchamp early in the game, its making it a breeze to go thorough the game s far.
I just got 4 GR coin prices.
>>24762693
I can only imagine, man.
I'm currently still surprised how strong Charmeleon actually is. 50 damage for 3 energy is amazing.
Anon with Pokémon Trading Card Game Player's Guide - are you still there?
So, anybody got a booster pack advent calendar?
>>24762384
I've been seeing number of people running them rise in the past few weeks, so the 2015 World Championship decks might have a code card in 'em.

>>24762693
Nice, i just finished my raindance deck with articuno
>>24764724
I used Blastoise with Dark Vaporeon for the final stretch of the game. The AI can end up repeatedly wasting energy attachments and energy in general trying to power up something they have no hope in hell of using
Also throughout the game I NEVER got a single DCE or Pokemon Breeder
>>24764692
Did you just rush through the game or did you do side quests?
>>24764734
u wot
>>24764734
Kek, i run 4 breeders + 4-4 blastoise, 4 articuno, 1 kanga and just in case 2 lapras
>>24764746
Haven't explored the sidequests yet. Thought it'd be easier to just open up everything via beating the game instead of getting some of it done, then finding out I need to progress to do more. But I more or less charged through it.
Going to work on refining a few decks anyway so I'll have a good explore.
>>24764784You probably missed the Challenge Center tournaments, too, right? :^(
>>24764840
is that the mainland challenge hall or the GR island one? Either way I'll investigate another time.
>>24764862
Both, probably. If the first game set a precedent, there are only certain windows when tournaments are held. If you don't win during those tournaments, you won't get another chance at receiving the price cards.
Which is the best deck to beat the game? Tcg gb2 of course
>>24764932
I've been having fun with a green Haymaker deck for the first half of the game. Bulbasaur and Weedle lines are bretty gud.
Who else is grinding the fuck out of those nigs
>>24764761
Thanks for reminding me I have this game on my laptop.
I never emulated a game on the iPhone, and I would like to play it on there.
Is it just an app to download, or a small hack.

>>24765327
Time to use those judges
>>24765865
Same guy here - what's the split for a retarded evolution line like Florges BREAK? Right now I'm running something like 3-0-2-2 with Rare Candy but I've yet to play a Florges, let alone a BREAK.

Stage 1 – Evolves from Numel
[C][C] Ram: 30 damage.

It's shit, right?

The difference is, Fire and Metal are the only two types without a Break atm, so Camerupt MAY be it

On the item luck trev, it's basically a seismitoad that damages everything, but a bit harder to set up.
>mfw noobs ultra ball into shaymin when I have silent lab out
Any advices as to what to try and buy and/or build first?
I've almost gotten every free pack from the trainer challenges and want to start using the tokens I've collected.
Dark Clefable/Dark Dragonair/GR Mewtwo may be the most disgusting thing I have ever played
Good thing two of its parts never saw an actual print...with good reason
>>24766794
Wigglytuff + Dodrio + Moonstone deck and/or Blastoise + Charizard for edge memes
>>24766838
Tried Dark Charizard. Didn't like it.
GR Mewtwo is probably more broken than Mewtwo-EX was back in NXD
the fact it's pokemon-power also buffs bench damage means Dark Clefable can hit for over 200 combined damage while also randomly reducing up to 80 damage
>>24766665
Didn't think of it that way. Guess it's time to order some X&Y Trevenants then
anon who bought the base set 2 boosters, where you at bro, i wanna see your openings
zappa ftw
>>24766855
No normal Charizard + Rain Dance Blastoise. Never fails.
The only real problem is Muk
>>24766933
Rain dance only allows you to attach to [W] pokemon, so you can't stick waters on Charizard for it to turn into fires, sadly.
On another note, after more research, not only do D.Clefable and GR Mewtwo's abilities not stack if you have more than one, but you're also limited to two GR Mewtwos, the guy won't give you any more after you beat him twice. Still insane
>>24766407
>>24766623
Then what Mewtwo is playable
>>24764435
What did you get for doing that? I've never gotten past 2
>>24767024
Blue EX + Mewtwo Y EX + Fairy Box = gg
>>24765346
Honestly, both.
>>24767042
What's so good about blue Mewtwo EX?
>>24767056
Nothing but its first attack is generic and helps soften blows.
>>24767056
it allows you to not have to carry psychic energy for mega and have all the benefits of fairy garden and aromatisse and baby xerneas.
>>24767059
Throw in a hard charm, and it will piss off few players.
>>24767074
I'd rather Parallel City.
>>24767024
Base Mewtwo is pretty playable
Also

>Fairy
Still a bit too slow if you ask me, that's why I prefer the Bronzong build.
But when Max Potion is reprinted, a 1-1 Psychic Infinity M Mewtwo-EX line might see use alongside M Gardevoir-EX.
>>24768026
Manectric decks always includes M Manectric, you know...
I wish Magnezone EX did 60 damage to two benched Pokemon as opposed to 50. You could at least tech it with wide lens to fuck Shaymin in that case. Instead it's one of the worst EXs printed.
here you go /vp/ just got some cards. they're all shit. since when did they get rid of the garenteed holo?
>>24768060
I was going for double M Gardevoir and Double Mega Y but it seem excessive. I run Cresselia as a free float stone so if a stadium is out that isn't Fairy Garden I'm good to go.
>>24768631
You should've got a Holo, what were your 10 cards?
>>24768650
I guess the other noibat is reverse holo. didn't notice

did anyone use that code? get anything good?
How accurate is this? Saw it a while back
>>24768809
the only thing wrong with with breakthrough is Chatot being a rare.
>>24768809
Pretty accurate.
>>24768809
not really accurate
>>24768809
Mostly accurate
Thoughts?
>>24768809
Not at all accurate. But that said BREAKthrough is still a pretty mediocre set, noted only for its reprints (including Zoroark as a Keldeo reprint), M-Mewtwo Y as the only good EX and Parallel City as an interesting take on stadiums.

>>24769318

>>24766855
At our Draft today someone managed to flip five times tails for his Dark Charizard and its five energies. It was a rare sight to behold.
>>24767239
Weren't the stuff you got from booster packs fixed for each of the opponents in the game? I remember one opponent in the Water Gym giving a shit ton of Gyarados and I could reproduce it in an emulated game. So if you wanted a certain card you had to grind games against a certain opponent until you got it from their drop pool.
ayy lmao
>>24770946

This is fun.
>>24769714

>>24772369

>>24772700
Shauna should get one though
>>24772075
In this game, they aren't. They depend on your input. You have to hit the right point of time to get a head.
>>24772354
If the opponent gets Sycamore or any other draw supporter in their hand then they can just choose to keep that one during the discarding and use it next turn to recover their hand size, if they're running Maxie/Archie you could possibly be helping them
Where do I go to report an issue, I paid for something in the shop and I didn't receive the item.
Whelp, no need to buy the bundle now. Guess I'll get a theme deck or something with what I was saving

>not wanting a complete set of FA Korrinas
Gud luck
Target got in a three pack with Boomburst Noivern, PHF Hydreigon and PC Flygon along with figure boxes featuring random EX cards, 2 random figures, 2 promo packs and a PHF pack.
I can't find Imakuni. I only found him a single time and got an Imakuni card from him. But I've never been able to find him since. Am I doing something wrong? I'm looking for him in the Gyms' lounges.
So I bought one of these World Championship Decks. What is the deal with their legality? Not allowed in official tournaments?
>>24774050
They're banned from sanctioned tournaments, but their usage at Leagues tends to vary.
I've actually been thinking of picking up a couple to use as a way of teaching new players how serious tournament play can get.
>>24771270
GR Mewtwo is only obtainable by defeating the final boss. You can get two at maximum, after that he only gives you a couple packs. No other way to get more without cheating.
>>24770695
That may be the case. Back in the first game I farmed the exact same one dude at the Science club every time as he was the easiest and Mr.Mime took a metric fuckton of savescumming.
For the record on both games I only ever began savestate abuse for getting what I wanted from packs after I already beat the main game and was going for 'collect em all'
Also, Kara the dopey chef carrying a pair of kitchen utensils with a big retard smile on her face and then cries when she's losing. The sheer variety yet detail put into each NPC's portrait is one of the things you don't quite see nowadays imo
Woah, I didn't even know this card had a holographic back.I won the auction and I'm going to put it in my Draft Cube. :^)
>>24774050
Do you know if they come with a code card?
Kinda slowpoke on this, but why is do Escape Rope and Pokemon Catcher exist?
Why didn't they just reprint Warp Point and Gust of Wind? Not actually being an item shouldn't mean shit, we still have Switch despite it not being an actual item, and Energy retrieval was reprinted for the first time EVER in Japan in Black and White, which is after they changed regular trainer cards into Goods/Items but before they printed both Escape Rope and Gust of Wind. This shit don't make any sense.
>>24774201
>before they printed both Escape Rope and Gust of Wind
Fuck, meant Pokemon Catcher.
>>24774194

>but you only get sleeves that look like the back of the cards.
That's odd, last year's decks gave you a deck box and a coin Lang with the sleeves...
>>24774231
>That's odd, last year's decks gave you a deck box and a coin Lang with the sleeves...
I think it might. I didn't even put mine in because I'm not going to use the sleeves or the deckbox, so what's the point?
>>24774178
Ain't it funny how Imakuni is known for illustrating a bunch of ugly ass joke cards, and then he's got a few like this that are legitimately good.
He's probably one of my favorite artists when he's not fucking around. Shame he's only got 11 cards that he actually tried for.
>>24774274
I know, right? I was surprised, too, when I found pic related in my random collection of cards. It takes a lot of skill to draw something so it looks like it was done by someone with no artistic skill at all.
>>24774050
>So I bought one of these World Championship Decks
You mean you wasted money on cards that have no resell value.
Sure, it gives you a bunch of rare cards, but you can't use them in official tournaments, or even at a loco cardshop holding a tournaments.
>>24774327
>or even at a local cardshop holding a tournaments.
That depends on the shop, I know one made an exception for Tropical Beach due to its rarity and cost.
>>24774327
They're great for teaching people how to play, that's about it
>>24774194
Yes but it's not for the cards. You get the coin, deckbox & sleeves and yes they are tradable.
>>24774327
meh, I never resell cards anyway so no biggie. All cards are "wasted money". Or as I like to call it, spent money.
It will make no difference when I play with my nephew and neither he nor me will give a fuck about their legality. Was just wondering what people's experience with local leagues was because fuck paying for proper versions of these cards if I dip my toe in competitive.
>>24774700
In other news I bought all my local shops PF boosters (a whole 8).
Best pull was a FA Manectric. Also got a Malamar and a M-Gengar as well as joy of joys Lysandre's trump card.
>>24774705
Funny enough the mega gengar is worth as much as and sometimes more than the full art manectric
what's the latest and greatest shiftry list
>>24774050
My league allows them. We would allow cards from them in local unofficial tournaments too, but those happen very rarely anyway.
4x Plus Power is the best thing ever.
>>24774802
orly. Maybe I should start selling some of these things.
Whats the best way to do this online for a Eurofag?
...What?
>tfw pulled THREE raichu break in the same evening
Is that thing even playable?
Scary Lady – Trainer
Discard a Stadium card in play.If you do, your opponent chooses 3 cards from his or her hand and discards them.
NOW milling is back.
Well I'm never playing another deck that only wins by deckout again. Went 2-2-4 at Houston Regionals with Sableye and went 2-4 today at cities with Houndoom/Bunnelby.
>>24776242
Not really. Just 90 HP Raichu XY is enough. Adding BREAK as a tech to give it more HP isn't worth it since BREAK dies in one hit anyway.
>>24776248
That's not milling though.
How many promo cards have you collected so far, /vp/?
>>24774201
Gust of Wind was broken as fuck and Pokemon Catcher really shouldn't exist when compared to Lysandre. But the cost for Lysandre is giving up your supporter, ie. your draw power for the turn, so things like Shaymin EX should really not fucking exist because it makes that cost meaningless, for only 30 bucks.
>>24776248
now is the time to bang my fists on the table and chant "new waifu"
>>24776248
That's more like Hand Disruption
>Your opponent only has three cards left in his hand and a Stadium is in play
>You Delinquent him to 0Conversely you could face Night March or anything that uses Archie's/Maxie's and ended up helping him
>>24776274
I'm an online player only and I was thinking of building a paper deck but then I say shaymins were crazy expensive, as someone quitting mtg for pokemon I'm not paying $30 for cards again. I'll be sticking to online it seems
>>24776350
Too rare. This card is a huge luck pull. All it takes is a Red Card into a hand without a draw support and boom, your opponent is stuck in instant top deck mode. Imagine a Shaymin start into being Red Carded into something like a VS Seeker, a Lysandre, an energy and a spirit link, then having to discard three of them on turn one.
>>24776216
>XY pack
I hope you didn't buy , even for the promo card.
Funny thing is, I brought one of those Blisters and pull a FA Charizard, FA Lucario, and FA Teammate.
>>24776264
pic related
>>24774059
this. Our league is actually getting bigger now and we're trying to show competitive play rather than just teaching them how to play.
>>24774059
They're also handy for dummy cards if you have multiple decks built around.
So for Delinquent, would something like this work? Replace Maxie with Slut, the idea is to use Pangoro to get them down to 0 cards, and if they can't use what they topdeck I discard that as well.
>>24777331
Shit, not Pangoro, Lickilicky. Got the wrong Dark Hammer.
>>24777331
>has a fullart shaymin
>doesn't have 4 of the same dce
>>24777489
Reverse holos.
>>24777498
that's ugly as fuck son
just enter the codes from the op and get 4 of the same kind and wait until you get 4 reverse or hgss dce
>>24777163
Wait...some of those cards are real?
>>24777566
A shitload of the GB promo cards have been printed in Japanese, actually. Wizards tried to release most of them but only managed to get a handful done before Nintendo took over.
>>24777566
Even the alternate art starter phase 2s have been printed.
>>24777585
>GR Mewtwo got a physical print
I guess Dark Clefable didn't get a physical print so it wasn't quite as insane as it was in PTCG GBC 2.

Pokémon Power: Dark Wave
Whenever 1 of your Pokémon with Dark in its name does damage to any Pokémon with an attack, flip a coin. If heads, flip another coin. If the second coin is heads, that attack does 20 more damage. If the second coin is tails, that attack does 10 more damage. If you have more than 1 Great Rocket's Mewtwo in play, use only 1 Dark Wave for an attack. This power stops working while Great Rocket's Mewtwo is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
[P][P] Dark Amplification 20+
Flip a number of coins equal to the number of Pokémon with Dark in their names on your Bench. This attack does 20 damage plus 20 damage times the number of heads.
>>24777585
>>24777810
>GR Mewtwo
If I had loose money, and wasn't afraid of ebay scammers, I would get it.
The card is about $30 bucks, I would want it for my Mewtwo collection.
Last time I brought a card from eBay, I was sent the wrong card, and the seller was asking for more money.
They letting us skip animations yet?
just opened these bad boys from my base set 2 packs i got from ebay. that makes 2 alakazams now. still waiting on that zapdos tho!

>>24778205
No. And for whatever they fix in an appeasing fashion, that is not ever going to be one.
They have promised a lot of sped up animations and minor removals in the next big update but don't get your hopes up.
Espeon-EX – Psychic – HP170
Basic Pokemon
[C] Miracle Shine: Devolve each of your opponent’s evolved Pokemon and put the highest Stage Evolution card on it into your opponent’s hand.
[P][C][C] Psycho Shock: 70 damage. This attack’s damage isn’t affected by any effects on the Defending Pokemon.
When a Pokemon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
Weakness: Psychic (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 1
shit
>>24778630
>Hey guys, evolutions are clearly too powerful, let's make a card just to counter them
Sure, it devolves Megas too, but it's far more harmful for stage 2s. Fortunately it probably won't see much play.
>>24778689
might find room for one in fairy toolbox
it could fuck up two rare candy magnezone/machamp/whatever for a single colorless energy
but it would be better as an ability
allowing you to play judge afterwards
>>24778630
If the second attack had just been double colorless, then it might have been an interesting anti-regice tech.
>>24778630
>>24761086
I run a casual Psychic deck and holy shit I'm hype for this set. Definitely adding these two.

is she qt?
>>24779587She was there with her bf for our MtG tournament.
She wasn't my type regardless.
I just bought some packs of Primal Clash, pulled a FA Teammates, my favorite card from the set, and felt good.
Am I nostalgic sine I got into TCG around Primal Clash, or does that set feel better? After openning a bunch of Breakthrough, I find that the pack art, and art in general, is a lot better in PC.
