>>25046252
I mean with these
Is Deck Wizard reliable? If not for making good decks, then at least for making a good jumping off point?
so are slowbro cards just troll cards? because that seems overpowered but the one from the other thread looks completely useless
>>25046274
vs seeker + lysandre = dead slowbro. it's a cool little card that will probably see a tiny bit of play as a come-from-behind tech, but you have a hard time actually getting to 1 prize with a fully charged slowbro on the field since its so flimsy. pretty well-balanced considering the normally wonky balance of the game in general.
>>25046274
Why would you use its attack when you can just kill something and win?

Man this drawing has been fucking rough. Practicing with Yveltal/Gallade and my Maxie ability gets ruined by shit like turn 1 double Maxie with no balls/BC in sight or never seeing a VS Seeker unless it's accompanied by 2 more, usually before a BC. Just came from dead drawing a hand of Maxie, Gallade, VS Seeker and DCE with only a Yveltal and Shaymin on the board.
Do we have a date on the Mew Box yet??
>>25047002
Feb 22
Were there untradeable Double Crisis cards? Did they come from packs or a Structure Deck?
Also is there a tradeable regular Latias? I want one.
>>25046158
is the current bundle any good?
Love thow Meganium is getting some love with this bundle, but I need HGSS base for the special print energies.
How many packs do you think they go for? What about the DCE?tfw we will never get HGSS-era prints of fairy energy with Togetic or double dragon energy with kingdra
>>25048029
I made a really quick rough mockup. The background is supposed to be the Sprout Tower (because you get the togepi egg at Violet City and there's no specifically fairy-based location)
>>25047595
It's okay, but Undaunted is useless outside of unlimited thanks to the lack of reprints (Unleashed has 3, HGSS has 5 plus the Basic Energy, and CoL has the holo HGSS Energy).
>>25048029
>Love how Meganium is getting some love with this bundle.
Funnily enough, this isn't the first time the promo Meganium Prime's been available on the TCGO (it was a wheel prize 1-2 years ago along with the other promo Johto starter Primes).

Except for the Fairy town in XY with the big tree.
>>25048936
She's only "good" because she makes Fairy playable.
>>25048939
True, but the thing about HGSS Energies is that they use locations that are associated with the Johto region.
>>25048945
>Only "good" because it makes Fairy playable.
Florges-EX also fills that role, but you do have sacrifice Fairy Garden for Sky Field if you want to OHKO EXs.
Oh, and...

>>25046689
Yeah in standard I find it hard for it to be consistent. I'm considering adding some maintenance to make playing Maxie's easier
So what kind of booster packs should I be buying? There's all sorts of expansions and I just have no idea what to go for
>>25049184
Phantom force for good uncommons, roaring skies for a lottery. The rest I rarely bother
>>25049188
I want to make a gengar deck so then its phantom force what I should be wasting all my coins in?
>>25049207
>coins
If you're talking about online, you definitely shouldn't be buying packs. Just trade for Gengar, shit's like 2 packs each.
>>25049230
>you definitely shouldn't be buying packs
What
Then what am I supposed to do with all the coins?
Are they going to change the contents of the Generations packs throughout the year?
>>25049239
pls respond what the fuck
>>25049826
Promos and bundles that you otherwise can't get
Packs will get you nothing you need. Even if you magically pull a good card, you definitely won't ever pull enough copies of it to make a deck with. Would you rather spend thousands of tokens praying to get a playset of whatever EX, or would you rather just trade six packs for all the copies you need
>>25046158
>use the Trade section to trade the packs and chests for the shit you need
What if you don't know what you need?
>>25050019
Find a deck you think is good, go for a standard deck cause they are usually cheaper, and copy it. Then go after the cards in that deck until it is complete. Now use that deck in ticket tournaments and win packs and chests, trade those winnings away for other cards you need for other good standard decks.
How many mulligans do you think is reasonable for a deck that doesn't have Judge or Red Card? I think 2 or 3 is OK.

>>25049894
You can always pull the card you want as long as you believe in the heart of the cards
>>25050129
I feel like 0.
What deck doesn't use judge? What are you using as draw support instead? 4 Sycamore isn't nearly enough
Do you have to wait for the end of a tournament to get a prize?

>>25050328
Probably some rare issue. Try to check on forums or write to some admins.
http://www.pokebeach.com/2016/01/fates-collide-americas-xy10-set
>Fates Collide will feature Zygarde in its many different Formes, Alakazam-EX, M Alakazam-EX, Altaria-EX, M Altaria-EX, Umbreon-EX, and Lugia BREAK. This means these Pokemon will likely be in Japan’s own XY10 set, Awakening of Psychic Kings, which will be released on March 18th.
>There will be over 120 cards in the set, including five Pokemon BREAK, 10 regular Pokemon-EX, and three Mega Evolution Pokemon-EX (Alakazam, Altaria, and an unknown). So there will be 13 Pokemon-EX total.
>lugia break
so break evolutions aren't actually for evolutions anymore. PCL probably are too shit to be able to make them good so they just make their precious little big basics even more OP instead
also that 'mystery' third break evo will probably be audino. two moeblobs and m-alakazam for megas. probably not the best choice for selling packs.

This is why you never give up. Even if you're not good, you can fake it.
>>25050917
>running Mewtwo X online
>running M Mewtwo X ever
>"During your opponent's next turn, prevent all effects, including damage, done to Umbreon by attacks from your opponent's Pokémon that has any Poké-Powers or Poké-Bodies."
Since B&W Poke-Powers and Poke-Bodies are made into Ablities.
So does that shit work for Abilities? Because TCG:O basically doesn't care about that.
>>25051059
Is it not a big deal?
>>25051115
No. The only reason to run Mewtwo X is as a tech and there's no reason to run M Mewtwo X.
>>25051109
Nope, Poke-Bodies and Poke-Powers are considered separate from Abilities.
>>25051127
>>25051059
Looks like somebody didn't read the free portion of the recent Pokebeach article on City Championship decks.
So, is there a place to print checklists for all the sets?
I spent the past 5 hours going through my cards, pulling doubles, and putting them in binders. I still have one last stack that's about 15 inches high though.
Almost fucking done.
>>25051157
Are you joking?
>need to have a Stadium in play and 4 energy just to do 200 damage
>need to run 5 stadiums for consistency
M Mewtwo X is trash. Just because some nobody posted it as a premium article doesn't mean it's good.
Also, what does this Wizard watermark mean?
Who/collectonly/ here?
I'm excited for the new sets, but I don't know if my wallet can take it. can't wait to finally get M-Audino and M-Altaria
>>25050162
Giovanni's Scheme.
>>25051275
It was given out in TopDeck, which was a WotC magazine before it folded in the early 2000s
>>25051157
Pokebeach are trashcans who just play the same braindead shit everyone else does and think they're good at the game
When I read about one of them gloating how great they were for getting a lucky blind Red Card on an opponent and then just swinging with Lucario-EX all game it may just have been the hardest I've ever dropped a website's articles
>>25051272
It's not impossible to set up but it is nice in a deck that just runs Mewtwo only as an answer to Regice.
>>25050162
Judge isn't a draw supporter, and 4 Sycamore is fine if you build your deck with enough consistency.
dead thread bump
This client is fucking awful. It's like every game the RNG chooses a winner. Dead draw in a deck full of draw support, then the next game my poor opponent literally mulligan'd 9 times.
Alright this game does not want me to play Maxie/Archie, I can never draw what I need no matter how specialized I make my deck. Wasn't like this a month ago, I could turn one Maxie about 50% of the time and almost always by turn 2, now I consistently draw my stage 2s or both Maxies/Archies and never see Balls or VS Seekers to manage my hand. Good thing Yveltal is fine on its own.
>opening is Shaymin, Gallade, Gallade, DCE, Maxie, Maxie and Zoroark
>top deck is acro, dark energy or dce
Looks like yveltal survives whatever the next rotation is.

>Name is Gergothical
>>25054196
You can probably do that trade, but if you're new, are you sure you want your first deck to be Gengar, especially without the rest of the deck?
If you go with it, just make sure you put up 1 chest for 2-2-2 instead of 2 for 4-4-4
>>25054211
noice
>>25054220
well i already opened genger ex and mewtwo ex, so i think i can pull off a midtier psychic deck and build to gengar
>>25054211
Great collection man, it's pretty far along. Mew is also my favorite 'mon, has been ever since I first read about in the RBY guidebook. I don't have much outside of this tcg collection but I would love to pick up any other Mew merch if given the opportunity, especially next month's box.
>>25054224
I have a problem man! Also since I work at gamestop I'm probably going to buy all the boxes at the end of the day when it comes out.

basic green is pretty much the best now yeah
>>25054667
watch me predict Maxies hidden balltrick for the next one and fail.
Anyways my dad is mr Pokemon and he said it would be Maxies hidden ball trick
>>25054721
I use basic green and blue, depending on what I'm feeling.
>>25054756
basic green vs basic blue is really close to be fair and it's a really interesting matchup
it's probably the closest thing to a "skilled" theme deck matchup if you can believe that such a thing could exist
>>25054674
It looks like it, they did alter the amount you get.
But I can confirm that the first chest is still an Uncommon Chest.
>>25054796
Just checked, they replaced the 8x chest reward with 1x rare chest.

Anything holo-rare or above, including FAs and SRs. For reference, each pack normally has as many holo-rares as they do EXs.
>>25054835
Do chests only contain standard cards?
>>25054831
Xerosics or Grunts. You might also want to drop Vest/Charm for Fighting Fury Belt.

>>25054835
Thanks
>>25054866
I think I might buy a box. Through was literal trash, but point seems like it'll have some good shit
>>25054976
In terms of usable cards, Breakthrough had Zoroark, Gallade, Octillery, Mewtwos, Magnezone, Raikou, Typhlosion, Houndoom, Skyla, Float Stone, Assault Vest, Fisherman, Heavy Ball, Super Rod, Giovanni, Parallel City, and Rainbow Energy off the top of my head.
Breakpoint has Greninja, Gyarados, Manaphy, Golduck, Garbodor, Garchomp, Trevenant, Scizor, Max Elixer, Fighting Fury Belt, Delinquent, and Reverse Valley.
I think they're about the same. I personally feel Breakthrough had a bigger meta impact off Zoroark, Gallade, Octillery, and Mewtwo alone, whereas only Garbodor and maybe Scizor look viable, not counting the Belt.
>>25054787
gr8, ive been using basic green exclusively
>>25053712
I don't think it works like that with the Pokemon themselves, does it? In a deck you may have up to four different cards with the same Pokemon name so a shittier Seismitoad-EX could still be played along the existing one provided they're in the same format, like what people do with Mega Mewtwo X and shit.
Going by Gen 5 and even Platinum's Charmander line reprint we all know that rotated-out Pokemon that are functionally identical to a T to a reprint in rotation can still be used like with the Trainers
Well, with the impending doom that this snowstorm is bringing to the east coast, I don't think I'll make any of the pre-releases this weekend. However next weekend there are 2 within an hour of my place so maybe I'll make the trek. Any anons going to a pre-release this weekend?
>>25055245
You're misunderstanding
The point is that the new subset and Breakpoint have cards that are either literal reprints or just slightly different. Yveltal, M Gardevoir, Flareon EX, Manaphy, Greninja, Mind Reading, Fighting Fury Belt, Golduck, Raticate, the list goes on. There's virtually no innovation. The most creative cards in the set are OP's Slowbro, the shitty Meganium, and the absolutely unplayable Ho-oh, which is pathetic.
We might as well not even have had a rotation if we're just going to get the exact same shit again.
You think we'll lose EX cards like we lost level x? I feel like they're trying to transition us to break cards.
>>25055310
Once we start seeing non-EX Mega Pokemon, then maybe. I'm actually surprised Break Pokemon didn't end up being that, all things considered.
>>25055302
>We might as well not even have had a rotation if we're just going to get the exact same shit again.
That's entirely true
I have a feeling the current PCL staff were hired from Gen 5 or something and can't figure out what the fuck to do
>>25055310
Nah, break is a gimmick like Ancient Trait was and will be gone by the time Z rolls around and they have actual content to use instead of needing filler.
EX has been here since technically R/S times. It's further been here as we know it since like HG/SS. It's not going anywhere

Bloody hell, who managed to get it to work?
>>25056467
...you mill two energies and it hits for 160. Mill three and you KO anything in the game off one energy attach. Not really that hard to figure out.
>>25056492
Doing that consistently without dying to the average EXbabby swinging horizontally at you all game? It's not like there's a way to control your topdecks a la Platinum Delcatty.
>>25056504
Stage 2 Pokemon are slow, but they're not so slow that you auto-lose against big basics. And the chances of getting at least two fire energies off a five-card mill isn't that low.

>making half of each player's deck do nothing so that they have fuck all to think about each turn

oh wow my turn is draw, play supporter, maybe attach or evolve and attack, nothing else to it
>>25057052
Except you have to take prizes to win, and you have to do it faster than your opponent. Which takes skill, because you have to know when and when not to turn off your item lock.
But if your dumb ass thinks it's so easy go ahead and throw it together on PTCGO and see how many wins you get.
>>25057066
I'm struggling to think of a situation where you can turn off your own lock but not turn it back on before your turn ends.
>>25057066
PTCGO is unplayable how the hell do people actually do anything on there
>>25057103
>PTCGO is unplayable
???
What kind of autism is keeping you from using it?
>>25057089
AZ + FoGP. But yes, Hex Maniac'ing your own Vileplume does let your opponent use items, which is why you have to be very careful and precise about when you use it.
>>25057113
Constant gamebreaking glitches.
>>25057171
I have 100+ full decks in all three game modes that I switch between constantly, and I've played this game enough to have finished every ladder to date with 4000+ points. I can count the glitches I've experienced on one hand, and half of them were connection problems. I have a big enough sample size to suggest this isn't anecdotal or coincidental.
>tfw aNight March conceded to my deck on turn 1.
Oh my God, the salt...
>>25057120
Which is why most players pair Vileplume with either Giratina (with Tool-lock, Stadium-Lock, and Special Energy Lock) and MIltank FLF (hits like a Mack truck for only one Energy and only gives up one Prize card if KO'd) for Standard.
And for Expanded, people just say "fuck that noise" and run Toad alongside Giratina-EX.
>>25057421
Regice is also a common pairing. But the one thing all these Vileplume have in common is that they didn't do as well as Vespiquen/Vileplume during Cities.

When's the next Team Rocket expansion?
I'm getting really fucking bored of never getting good games any more. Every match is decided on turn one these days, or by who goes first. They must've fucked up the RNG or something because pre-Breakthrough it wasn't this boring. It's a near certainty either I or my opponent gets an unusable, statistically unlikely starting hand it seems.

No really, you need a competent deck and drawing knowledge to be consistent.
Should I go to a pre-release tomorrow? I've never played the game in real life so I'm anxious about going.

>>25058175
>complaining about that
Fuck off. Call me when every game you play is support mon start and 2-3 of the same non-draw item with no way to win, while going second 19/20 games.
Can't wait to open the new boxes
Im going to a pre release tomorrow as someone who has not played since hgss how has the meta changed and are there any leaks of the new cards?
>>25057917
Never.
>>25057971
>Night March
>A deck that requires skill.
My sides.But I will admit it's a good way to filter out idiots.
>>25058340
>and are there any leaks of the new cards?
Yep, we got a set leak a while ago.
>http://www.pokebeach.com/2016/01/full-breakpoint-set-list
>>25058378
Night March with Mew required skill. Now it's all luck of the draw with who wins the coinflip potentially deciding the winner.
>>25057999
Even then you'll need to flip heads like a God and don't run into Wobbuffet
>>25058386
>Night March with Mew required skill.
And even then, you'd have to be careful of shit Like GarboToad locking you out on T2 (or T1 if they were running Wally or Silent Lab).
>>25058388
>and don't run into Wobbuffet
Or run into a Pokemon with Theta Stop.
>>25058388
Run Mewtwo + DCE + Laser + Muscle Band. Run Seeker + Jirachi for a guaranteed kill + Shaymin/Shiftry pickup. Run Shauna for the possible double Celebi stallout. Run Escape Rope for the occasional Wobbuffet with a bat on the bench. You'll still lose to multiple Wobs if they run Flare or EH, but it gives you the chance to win against him.
Really the only losses I get are the RNG fucking me like prized cards or decks that get off 3 or more Wobuffets turn one and have hammers.
>waiting for a way to get a Jirachi to finish my deck
>>25051059
>>25051127
>>25051272
Your obviously to thick headed to see that M-mewtwo x is viable. Dimension valley for starters making his attack that OHKOs mostly everything in the game only cost 3 energies. Mega turbo is a card as well as lando for energy cheats.(max elixir soon). I have and run this deck btw. So in the time it takes (turn 2) them to ko my lando I have a 220hp monster who can hit for 200damage with no drawback... sounds like trash to me your right
Yo, Yesterdays newfag here, are there any forums or anything where i can show off my trade and attract more people?
Ariados/RaticateBREAK is going to be the best deck to come out of BREAKpoint
>>25058629
>110 HP
>total dependence on Wally
Espeon ex, Archeops, and Pyroar is going to suck. Might need to run more than one Sex maniac and 3 vs seekers if it catches popularity.
It's alot of set up but what can you do without maniacs when it is set up?
why did they have to introduce break when its the exact same as lv.X ?
>>25058834
lvl x is not sideways
>>25058834
BREAK is objectively worse than Lv. X.
>>25058834

>there is no Ditto EX that's ability is to evolve into any pokemon
>>25059145
Does the new pokemon it becomes also become an ex?
>>25058758
Tyrantrum and Espeon can hit Pyroar.
We need Seismitoad-EX BREAK
>>25059160
yeah a handfull of mons can hit through abilities true but it'll still shut down like 80% of all decks in the game. I guess I forgot about wobbafet as well.
>>25059263
yeah, lets also reprint everything needed for the figban deck while were at it.
Where does /vp/ think the new Garchomp belongs? I want to use the previous Gabite that can set your bench up with dragons but he cannot find this Garchomp. Maybe thinning the deck that much makes it viable? Or should we just 4-2-4 with rare candies?
Garchomp – Fighting – HP130
Stage 2 – Evolves from Gabite
[F] Assault Turbo: 60 damage. Choose 1 Energy card in your discard pile and attach it to one of your Pokemon.
[F][F] Biting Pledge: 80+ damage. If your opponent’s Active Pokemon is a Pokemon-EX, this attack does 80 more damage.
Weakness: Grass (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 0
>>25059145
wouldn't that break rare candy
>>25059491
It'd be a low HP EX only good for evolving that cannot be Wallied. Seems balanced to me since you can still use Maxie and Archie for turn 1.

S-sorry sempai..
TIME TO WELCOME PRIMAL KYOGRE BACK TO THE TOP OF THE HEAP GENTLEMEN!
>>25060728
NOW WITH ACCELERATION!!
>>25060728
Oh shit, I didn't even consider Kyogre when I saw that card. I might have to get some now.
Now that Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise are all but confirmed to be getting spirit links, which of the megas do you see people using? I have no idea about which Charizard we'll see more of. The new Charizard mega is obviosuly great attacking but the other two still one shot everything though at great expense. Energy acceleration wont be that much of a problem with the new Basic Charizard EX, and Basic EX Hounddoom helping in a capacity.
Blasoise new Mega and basic EX from Generations hasn't been revealed yet but the XY Mega was tremendously powerful and now will be actually useful with a spirit link to get it out faster.
>>25060769
I'd say the XY M-Venusaur will be fucking shit up if it can get its energys on it quickly and now it wont be missing a turn either. Unless an opponent has a switch or some other means to rush, in M-Venu is going to be 2-shotting everything with no rebuttle. Garuanteed prize take.
>>25060744
He's basically filling the void that Keldeo EX left when he was rotated out.
>>25060777
Is there any grass acceleration?
>>25060797
Only one that comes to mind off the top of my head. But having two megas in your deck seems a bit impractical
>>25054211
>>25054239

My salt will NEVER fade.
Now my Mew collection consists of only the DRX Mew EXs and a fire delta Mew.
>>25060728
Saying Kyogre was ever at the top of anything is a stretch.
Nicest thing I can say is that Vespiquen is far less prevalent than it was, so it has that going for it.
>>25060863
Hey at least he'll be viable once more. The new Palkia with energy acceleration will help too. Manaphy healing along with rough seas. All that switching and energy transferring. Will be even harder to deal with once it gets going than it was before possibly. Suicunes walling will be missed
>>25059804
of course there's a charizard. this entire line is just a recreation of the emboar line they did in the bw block. it's cute becausewe all wish we were that kid with real pokemon and grow old with our bros ;-;
>>25059465
desu just run it as a 1-of with a copy of maxie like some decks run gallade and archeops. running 2 or 4 vs 14 cards for one Pokemon makes an obvious difference on your consistency.
>>25061064
>the kid in the Charmander and Charmeleon cards is alone in them with nothing but his pokemon
>the last card will show the kid as an old man on a hospital bed with no kids reading a book with his Charizard
>>25061064
>That progression
Never noticed that. Neat
>>25049894
I'm still confused
So should I use the coins to get packs and then trade them? What bundles and promos are you talking about?
>>25061064
>Tepig looking at the mother's tits
>Pignite looking at the sister while she's reaching for his crotch
>The sister's peace sign while rubbing up against Emboar
>Emboar looking at his master's child
I think that was a faithful Tepig, that likes them young when it got older.
>>25059465
Just run it as a 3-1-3 or 4-2-4.
People seriously need to stop being afraid of the Stage 2 meme. Stage 2 decks don't auto-lose to big basics, they only had a problem past format because Toad, the deck with FOUR TIMES THE WINRATE of the next best deck locked you out of Candies and Balls, which are critical for evolution decks.
The game's a shitload faster than pre-RS thanks to Shaymin showing up and Toad dying.
>>25061213
>So should I use the coins to get packs and then trade them?
Packs/cards obtained via tokens aren't tradable by default, so that's kind of a moot point.
>What bundles and promos are you talking about?
Like pic related (which nets you 3 Undaunted booster packs and a promo Meganium Prime for 650 tokens) or last week's bundle (which gave you 4 BREAKthrough packs, a RH Pyroar FLF line, and Pyroar sleeves).
But when a new bundle comes up pay attention to what folks say about it, the current bundle is only useful in Unlimited.
>>25061256
>useful in unlimited
heheheh, funny goi

>>25061256
While you're here, do you know what promos we'll be getting for Breakpoint? I don't want to miss out on another Jirachi.
>>25061290
They were revealed a while ago, the three-pack blisters will have a Pyroar PHF reprint and the promo Umbreon Japan got while the one-pack blisters will have a Hydreigon reprint or a promo Pikachu.
Oh, and the set's prerelease promo will be Trevenant.
>>25061317
>a Hydreigon reprint
*a Hydreigon PHF reprint
Sorry about that, I forgot the set abbreviation.
>>25061317
>Hydreigon and Pyroar reprint
>Useless Umbreon
At least this Pikachu has 10/10 art, I'll have to pick up a set for Raichu.
Do we have art of the reprints, or is it the same?
