Does my budget grass deck look good?
>>25595450
The idea is to get krickitune running screech and to take revenge when it's down. I think I should use two level balls and escape rope
>>25595853
I'm fairly new, so my input probably isn't the most valuable, but for a budget deck it looks good to me. Two level ball and one escape rope should be be fine.
Gotta love that round little mousey~ :3
>>25595450
>>25595853
If it's synergy resonates well with how you flow, then it's just fine. I have all sorts of random decks with crazy cards~
How does the game define what is an acceptable trade?
>>25596215
literally trades that you can accept. If you have all the requirements to complete the trade, even if it is bullshit towards either side.
so... THIS just happened... I can't stop laughing!
also, I later won the match 6-0

also is there any way of loading all trades at once? Having to scroll down, wait for it to load more trades, scroll down, wait for more trades ad nauseum is fucking awful, browsing recent trades is a pain.
>>25596273

>>25596279
afaik, no. I just click on load trades, browse other shit for a minute and then go back to check the list. If it didn't keep moving down the screen so I could at least click on the trades I find interesting.

How many packs are reasonable to trade for that shaymin ex faggot? The trades I keep seeing are like 20 Roaring skies or 25-30 BP.
>>25596826
I snagged 2 for 16 Skies each.
So is this thing good all of a sudden because of Greninja BREAK? I've been hearing a lot of people talking about it lately
>tfw contemplating buying a theme deck just so I can stop playing Basic Blue and Green over and over again
Talk me out of this or recommend me theme decks
>>25597419
Not only is it fun to play, it's a great deck. Most fun pre-structured deck I've ever played.
>>25597439
Dark Hammer is great, and I would also recommend. Two Sycamore and two Korrina will often give you what you need.
That said, if you just don't want this deck for some reason, Wave Slasher and Iron Tide are also good alternatives.
>>25597439
Yeah, that seems to be the go-to theme deck outside of basic stuff. The Metagross one seems kind of fun too, just a lot less common.
Also I just saw the Noivern one for the first time and seemed ok, but reading the deck list it's pretty shitty if you don't get your Noivern asap.
I think I'll wait to see what bundle comes up tomorrow and then decide.
Which is better Enchanted Echo or Resilient Life?
>>25597604
Unless you just want to use it as a base for a fairy set, avoid Resilient Life, it's garbage as is.

you are not a million miles away from a vileplume/vespiquen deck which is pretty viable still. Even moreso now revitalizer is a thing. You could probably get a playset(3) of Vileplume & prevos for 1-2 packs.
Fair warning, playing item lock can result in long fucking matches when opponents don't concede fast
How in the world do I deal with Night March?
>>25598075
Trevenant break
>>25598075
Jolteon
>>25598075
Run decks higher on the tier list (YZG, Mane/Jolteon, Trev Break)
Run item lock
Run Bats or bench sweeps
Run techs like Jirachi or Jolteon
Run efficient Megas because NM struggles to hit for 220
Simply play the game normally because NM isn't that scary a deck
>>25597983
how many oacks did you buy...?
>>25598112
>Simply play the game normally because NM isn't that scary a deck
I guess I need to play more. I tried entering a tournament for the first time with a makeshift fire deck and got ran over pretty hard by Night March in the first round. Maybe I shouldn't be doing tournaments yet because I have no fucking idea what I'm doing.
>>25598147
>I have no fucking idea what I'm doing.
It's pretty obvious.
All the crossed out cards are either unusably shit or useless in this deck.
That Delphox is shit too, but you should only use it in an Expanded deck with Fandango Emboar.
That Entei is also shit but it's an acceptable tech.
You have twice as many energies as the upper cap for a deck should be. Decks rarely run more than 4-12 total energies.
>>25598198
>Decks rarely run more than 4-12 total energies
Really? That seems REALLY low. Damn, I definitely need to learn, then. I'm using the starter decks as a reference.
Thanks for the help, though. I figured I'd keep the Entei or the Torkoal out while I get to Delphox and then use that to sweep, using the charm to keep it in as long as I could, and switching between it and Entei or the Charizard when I need to. It doesn't really work when I get raped before I can do anything, though.
how can I improve my deck?
>fairy transfer intensifies
>>25598290
Literally useless. The deck already has Max Potion, it doesn't need a ridiculously shitty potion.
>>25598134
4 tins a mega gyrados box and a mew collection. was about 80 bucks from target
>>25597251
Would Greninja BREAK use Mist Concealment when it evolved since it has all this cards abilities?
If so I can see it being useful to stall but not as good as a XY greninja. Might be good next set with Devo-Spray.
>>25598312
Nope, Mist Concealment occurs when you evolve that particular Greninja on Frogadier or using a Rare Candy on Froakie, BREAK evolving over that Greninja doesn't really do much
>>25598075
honestly night march is kind of shit. if it doesn't overwhelm you early, it's probably losing.
Xerosic, Jirachi, Hex Maniac, Hammers, item lock, Aegislash-Ex, sweep damage, megaphone, many more cards
any of these in your deck and NM can crumble fast. It's good for scrubs on the ladder and broke noobs, but not much beyond that. But because it is so damn popular, you do need to have a plan in your deck for it like for anything big in the meta.
Since you play fire, maybe look at Pyroar related.
>>25597983
Nice.
I got a full art Articuno and a full art Sylveon today, but I only bought one generations Charizard box, so I'm happy with a 2:1 ratio.
if you are interested in japanese cards buy from this guy while he still has some
https://youtu.be/tbeSP-oNhkc
most are $2-3 below actual value.
>>25598352
How in the world do I get particular cards? Just by trading boxes and shit and hoping that people have them?
>>25598456
Search for the card and see if you can get an idea of what it's going for (most cards are like 1-3 packs tops).
Save your tradeable packs, and then make your own trade offer, a few packs for the cards you want.
Hoping this Saturday I can buy out all the Charizard boxes and pull a Jolteon. At least I'll have enough packs stocked up to trade for a set online.
>>25598572
If you're talking Target, you should be aware they generally put them out early, and will probably be gone by Saturday since the buy two, get one free sale has already went into effect.
And they're officially out tomorrow anyway, why are you waiting until Saturday?
>>25598649
They announced they will get a full stock of everything for this Saturday's Magikarp event.
>>25598666
Sauce? Or did you call your individual target on this?
>>25598678
http://www.pokebeach.com/2016/03/targets-pokemon-sale-begins-today-pokemon-day-next-sunday
>>25598721
So?
I just told you that Target tends to put TCG product out early. I bought a Charizard box myself today from Target.
>>25598814
So have I. All Targets have them out now. They're advertising that they will have it on that day.
Like how some TRUs had their Celebi merch early but still had enough for the display on release day.
>>25598881
That doesn't mean they will have them on that day though or are even trying to.
I went to target today and they didn't have Charizard or Celebi boxes out yet...
>>25598907
Did you check just the up front section with cards and the section in toys?
Or maybe you have the one target that gives a fuck and is actually enforcing what the ad says.
>>25598917
Checked up front and toys. No boxes.
I finally got something good from furious fists! In celebration, have a mewtwo tin code.
Please post pulls my pizano.
>>25599103
Thanks. Tins give you a set deck these days.
You guys may also have these.
>>25599164

>>25594662
Cynthia for sure. Misty, Dawn, but that'll never happen. Out of the newest gen, it'd be cool to see Viola and her sis get FA cards.
>tfw judge allows repeat ball to search for pokemon that have been already evolved from
>tfw judge allows attacks that place damage counters to benefit from muscle band
>tfw judge doesn't believe the barrage omega trait allows 2 attacks
I want to get off judges' wild ride. Do I have to bring a fat rulebook with me for people to believe me?
>>25599544
Repeat Ball and Muscle Band I can kinda understand but they're still so wrong but Omega Barrage says it right there on the card. you shouldnt need a rule book for that. Just point at the damn card
>>25599544
>tfw judge doesn't believe the barrage omega trait allows 2 attacks
What the fuck did he think it did?
>>25599683
>>25599762
I think what anon meant is that the judge thinks you have to use the same attack twice, that you can't change from one to the other.
>>25599762
>>25599935
The judge thought that the first attack must KO the defending pokemon to be able to attack again.
Another classic is bench barrier Mr Mime. There's always a discussion if someone uses Trevenant Break's put 3 damage counters on all your opponents pokemon against it. It needs to be said somewhere that placing damage counters isn't necessarily the same as doing damage
Can you play Vileplume Vespiquen without 4 shaymins? I only have 1
>>25600630
Why mix Vileplume in Vespiquen at all? The former is meant to slow down the game and the latter is meant to make it go as quickly as possible.
How the fuck do I trade boosters? I got one in the store, but it won't let me trade it.
>>25600708
Boosters you buy from the store are locked. You can only trade boosters from codes you enter or from tournaments that cost tickets to enter
>>25600715
That's fucking retarded. How am I supposed to do even halfway decent in tournaments if I can't get new cards and build an actual deck?
>>25600719
Theme tournaments
>>25600722
Don't you just get tournament tickets for doing theme tournaments?
>>25600724
Theres a rotation. Sometimes it will cost tokens and reward tickets. Sometimes it will cost tickets and reward packs. Just keep checking in to see if you can get packs out of them.
>>25600641
What should I mix them with then?
>>25600724
Theme ticket tournaments happen 2 weeks a month. It happened last week, rotated out this week, so just save your tickets until next week.
>>25600752
Either have Vespiquen and eeveelutions or some sort of Vileplume Giratina cancer deck. Mixing such different playstyles won't work
>>25600719
Open boosters you buy in the stores.
the rest of XY10 is dumping on Pokébeach. Already planning a fuck-nightmarch Frosslass/Barbaracle deck
Ability: Hand Block
You can use this ability if you have a Stadium card in play. As long as this Pokemon is in play, your opponent can’t attach any Special Energy cards from his or her hand.
Full Arts look pretty baller.
>>25600506
Your judge sounds like he is either retarded or coming up with bullshit rulings to benefit his friends. Either way, report him to TPCi.
where's mi FA N
>>25601113
>that secret rare
FUCK me that's good
>>25601139

Are bundles always stuff out of rotation? If so, buying them just for legacy now doesn't seem like a good use of tokens.
last one
>>25601170
no, the bundles usually change weekly and cater to different formats
>no Zygarde-EX FA
cucked as fuck
So instead of pointlessly posting pretty art without the translation, how about posting some of the new cards that only just now got revealed?
[M][C] Gold Rain: Discard as many Metal Energy attached to this Pokemon as you like. For each Energy discard in this way, choose the same number of your opponent’s Pokemon (you may choose the same Pokemon twice). This attack does 30 damage to each of those Pokemon for each time you chose them. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance.)
Bronzong Break + PHF Bronzong seems like a neat deck. Snipe for 150 a turn if you have four Bronzong setting up.
>>25601230
Carbink – Fighting – HP80
Ability: Energy Keeper
As long as this Pokemon is in play, your Basic Pokemon’s Basic Energy can’t be discarded by effects of your opponent’s attacks, Abilities, or Trainers.
[F][F][C] Stone Edge: 60+ damage. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 more damage.
======
Exploud – Colorless – HP140
[C][C][C] Ambush: 80+ damage. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 more damage.
[C][C][C] Cacophony: At the end of your opponent’s next turn, discard the Defending Pokemon and all cards attached to it.
There are now four Carbink to choose from for the Break, and Exploud is either poorly translated or Doom Desire Jirachi on a Stage 2 with no benefits.
>>25601254
Kabutops – Fighting – HP150
[C][C] Stick To: 50 damage. Heal from this Pokemon the same amount of damage this attack does to your opponent’s Active Pokemon.
[F][C][C] X-Scissors: 80 damage. Flip a coin, if heads this attack does an additional 60 damage.
This might be viable while FUF is still in Standard, depending on how viable Omastar ends up being. Being able to tutor them out from the deck and getting a free Lysandre every turn, on top of Strong Energy and Fighting Stadium should be enough.
How many generations packs should I be offering for a shaymin?
>>25601264
Aerodactyl – Colorless – HP120
[C] Bite: 30 damage.
[C][C] Jet Draft: 120 damage. Discard a Special Energy attached to your opponent’s Active Pokemon.
120 off a single DCE on a Pokemon that you can bring out with Omastar for free, with a Hammer effect in a deck that has free Lysandres. Still probably shit.
>>25601280
Zygarde – Fighting – HP90
[F] Vigilance: Choose 1 of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon and switch it with his or her Active Pokemon.
[F][C][C] Aura Break: 70 damage. The [D] or [Y] Pokemon that was damaged by this attack can’t attack during your opponent’s next turn.
fuck yzg
>>25601286
Team Rocket’s Handiwork – Supporter
Flip 2 coins. For each heads, discard 2 cards from the top of your opponent’s deck.
You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).
Full Art at >>25601137
Mill has some new techs to play with.
>>25601300
Weezing – Psychic – HP110
[C][C] Balloon Bomb: Flip 2 coins. For each heads, discard the top 2 cards of your opponent’s deck.
[P][C][C] Dense Liquid: 80 damage. Both Active Pokemon are now Poisoned and Confused.
And that same Supporter on a Pokemon. Notice they both say 2 per heads; between Weezing and Rocket's Handiwork, you can mill up to 8 cards in a single turn before Trick Shovels.
I just bought 4 of these whats the best way to kill my self?
>>25601314
Twisted Spoon – Trainer
Item
Pokemon Tool: Attach a Pokemon Tool to 1 of your Pokemon that doesn’t already have a Pokemon Tool attached to it.
Prevent all effects of attacks, except damage, done to the Pokemon this card is attached to (effects already on this Pokemon are not removed).
>>25601327
Reuniclus – Psychic – HP90
[P][C] Link Fusion: 10+ damage. If there is a Solosis on your Bench, this attack does 30 more damage. If there is a Duosion on your Bench, this attack does 60 more damage. If there is a Reuniclus on your Bench, this attack does 90 more damage. (Yes, they stack – 190 damage.)
190 damage off one energy after an elaborate setup on a fucking 90 HP Stage 2, amazing. There's also:
Duosion – Psychic – HP60
[P][C] Double Link: 10 damage. If there is a Solosis on your Bench, this attack does 30 more damage. If there is a Duosion on your Bench, this attack does 60 more damage.
and
Solosis – Psychic – HP30
[P][C] Mini Link: 10+ damage. If there is a Solosis on your Bench, this attack does 30 more damage.
>>25601348
And the last card that might actually be viable:
Servine – Grass – HP70
Ability: Snake Bind
You may use this Ability once when you play this card from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokemon. Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent’s Active Pokemon is now Paralyzed.
[G] Vine Whip: 20 damage.
Don't forget Devolution Spray is being reprinted in this set. Between it, AZ, and Scoop Up with Forest of Giant Plants, you can keep your opponent Paralyzed.
>>25601362
Serperior – Grass – HP140
[C] Coil: 40 damage. During your next turn, the damage from this Pokemon’s attacks do 60 more damage.
[G] Slash Down: 80 damage. This Pokemon can’t use Slash Down during your next turn.
Just for reference, it's shit.
>>25601374

>>25602737
>0 Charizard boxes
Saw these at my Gamestop.
Are they really that rare?
>>25603413
I've never played this deck but my untrained eye says I would trade out one of those letter for an Energy Retrieval, that way you are covered early or late as with the Clemont/Fisherman for supporters.
Other than that, second Jolteon if you can get it. In place of a Pikachu. And a Xerosic is never a bad idea if you can fit it somewhere.
Having a 2-2-2 line and then 2 candy as well seems odd.
You have no tools here at all? No level ball for early Magnemite/ton? And no switch or rope or floatstones. Each of those is fine if there's good reason. Is there though?
>>25604559
Ok, I've done the math, to buy one of each sleeve and a play set of Yveltal, it will cost 4,325 tokens.
Oh boy.....
The deckbox and sleeves are very similar to the ones already available that are worth about 40 packs. Good thing I didn't go full retard and traded for those.
>>25604680
>Needed 2 Xerneas for his retard first non-theme deck
>Has 1800 tokens
>See's this week's bundle
welp, I guess I know where I'm spending my tokens.
>>25604747
I'm not saying that you shouldn't but the theme deck will get you 2 more for just 500.
>>25604774
I only need two but I kinda want the sleeves and deckbox in the first place. I'll only get one bundle, though, keep the rest of the tokens, and just trade for the second xerneas.
>>25603473
It's too cute. I can feel the [desire to protect her smile] burning through my veins.
>>25604655
I'm a scrub at this. So I need guidance on ratios or things to run.
What do you guys think of this week's bundle? The cards are meh at best. Are the bundles and boxes worth it?
>>25605369
By bundles I meant sleeves.
>>25605369
the sleeves are really nice
they would go for like 100 packs if this deal didn't exist
Are the celebi boxes still profitable to scalp?
Just to confirm, this bundle is not really worth it if you don't care about sleeves and coins, right?
>>25605178
try this guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scJhtLcqZzQ
he explains his choices well. Sub out one of his Pikachu for your Jolteon, and find somewhere to fit in a Clemont. After that, figure out what works for you.
>mfw thinking of how many fucking cards Im going to buy at Target Saturday with that B2G1 deal
>>25605503
>>25605380
>>25604802
>>25604680
What the fuck is everyone talking about?
I checked the client and don't see shit in the shop related to sleeves
>>25605632
>B2G1
>Buy 2 Get 1
Sounds like a really nice deal bro
>>25604574
Yes, they're rare.
My target sold out, I don't even know how GameStop got it.
>>25605632
Sale has been on all week, don't be surprised if they're out of things.
>that gold and red Charizard box and sleeves from the box
Gaudy.
>>25605850
they dun fucked up (again). Yveltal sleeve bundle is no longer there. It must be for next week. Xerneas set is there right now for me.
I grabbed a set of both earlier. Pic related is the Yveltal set that's gone now.
>>25604100
>That Carbink and it's break are going to be good for energy accelerating decks. I do wish it was fairy so it fits better with armomatise and garden
It's not that good. It only affects Basic Pokemon and Basic Energy, so that's going to stop...crushing hammer? Grunts? Not really that impactful.
And don't forget we're getting a second Carbink too:
Carbink – Fighting – HP90?
Basic Pokemon
Ability: Safeguard
Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokemon by your opponent’s Pokemon-EX.
[F][C] Power Gem: 40 damage.
Plus, Carbink Break only attaches energies to Fighting Pokemon on your bench specifically, so it's not some generic energy powerhouse.
>>25606367
Yep noticed it as well. Typical.
>3500 tokens for a playset of the promo Xerneas
>Next week is going to be the same shit with Yveltal
Am I really going to spend 7000 tokens on this shit when a new pack is about to drop
>>25606716
The cards are nothing special and easily acquired in other ways. Why would you want a playset of them?
>>25606816
>The cards are nothing special and easily acquired in other ways.
Oh? I didn't know that the promo Yveltal and Xerneas, which used to cost 80+ packs apiece and were virtually impossible to find before today, were easily available.
>>25606629
Dude, he can recover especial energies too
>>25606836
so is it worth buying it for the rare cards now that they're easily available?
>>25606836
The card itself is no different from the regular XY Xerneas, however. This is not some Stardust Jirachi that had not come out before and has not come out since. If you want to be retarded to that point, then be my guest. Just don't pretend the card is actually worth all those packs.
>>25606940
Lol, reread your post but replace Xerneas with SR Ultra Ball
>8 tournament tickets away from 1000
does it even go to quadruple digits or does it stop at 999?
>see updated Carbink translation
Shit, there goes my Giratina/Jolteon deck idea. At least Zygarde will get use out of it.
>>25607076
Exactly my point. That's equally retarded. Thanks for remind me of it.
>>25605567
So, I took his and made my own changes.
How does it look now?
Magnezone/Pikachu-EX/Raikou.dek (Standard)
>Pokemon = 15
1. Jolteon-EX
3. Magnemite
1. Magneton
3. Magnezone
2. Pikachu-EX
3. Raikou
2. Shaymin-EX
>>Item = 23
3. Battle Compressor
3. Energy Retrieval
2. Muscle Band
3. Rare Candy
4. Trainer's Mail
4. Ultra Ball
4. VS Seeker
>>Stadium = 2
2. Sky Field
>>Supporter = 9
1. Brigette
1. Fisherman
1. Hex Maniac
1. Lysandre
4. Professor Sycamore
1. Skyla
>>Energy = 11
11. Lightning Energy
>>25607332
I'm actually thinking a Floating Stone now.
I managed to tear through a Night March deck and a Seismitoad one, but decked myself out because Retreat Cost of Magnezone is too damn high.
>mulligan the same hand 6 times
>Shaymin start, 4 VS Seekers
This game is so obviously biased against one player a match.
>>25607668
You'd think they'd be rich, what with the advanced dynamic self-learning algorithm they've created to analyze your deck on the spot and decide what the least viable opening hand can be. You could sell that for millions.
can anyone rate my deck?
>>25607883
Standard/10
>>25607711
Fuck off shill.
>>25607883
espeon/10
So when are people going to start running tech Gallades and Garchomps into everything to get around the eventual Jolteon shitstorm?
got some codes for you guys
TJE - 8PWQ - 3FE - 8M(?)
S6J - 86CM - Q6A - XL(?)
DMS - YQHN - JET - HE(?)
1st ? is 7
2nd ? is N
3rd ? is F
please post screen of what you pulled
>>25608132
I'm pretty sure YZG players are way ahead of you on that with the Gallades, but isn't Garchomp a lot less splashable by comparison?
>>25608270
You can splash basic attackers into Garchomp.dek, like Toad and even Jolteon.
>>25608603
How lewd is Skyla again
>>25608261
>This coupon code has already been redeemed.
>it's been 22 minutes
You disgust me, code thief anon.
>>25609009
>nipple
>>25609009
My one true pokewaifu
Looking at the next set here are my predictions:
Tier 1:
M-Alakazam/Bats, YZG
Tier 2:
Night March, Zygarde/Carbink BREAK,M-Manectric, Entei
Tier 3:
Trevenant, Giratina, M-Sceptile
Playable tier:
M-Gardevoir, M-FUG, P-Groudon, Greninja BREAK, Mill
Maybe tier:
Delphox, Fossil, Regi Box, Bench Lucario
Anything I forgot?
>>25609468
Raibats, Damage Swap, and Vespiquen were Tier 3 pre-BP. Giratina and M Sceptile absolutely were not, and none of the three packs since then hint at that changing.
Zygarde EX isn't as good as Lucario. Healing 30 is a joke compared to Shaymin on an attack. Power Memory isn't good or necessary.
M Alakazam absolutely won't be Tier 1.
>>25609468
Shit forgot Raichu. I'd say tier 3 now since Zygarde is about.
>>25609468
>>25609528
How playable do you think Bronzong break will be?
>>25609828
Not very. Stage 2 that can't Candy, and it requires an unreasonable investment to actually KO anything, normally multiple turns.
At absolute best, decks that already run Bronzong can tech one in to fuck with Night March. Three energies to KO a Joltik and a Pumpkaboo at the same time isn't the worst.
The base Bronzong we're getting in XY10 in a joke.
>>25609828
Not at all. It's mediocre and once PhF Bronzong rotates it'll be one of the worst Breaks.
What are the conditions for advantage and stuff during versus? I found a guy using an almost blue theme deck and he had the advantage and I got like 40 tokens for the victory, later on, I thought against a sceptileEx/Bats with Shaymin-Ex, and I got a grand total of 1 token + 1 ticket from the roulette.
>>25609468
>M-Alakazam being anywhere near tier 1 at all
If anything Yveltal-EX.dec is just going to be godmode again like it was back in XY
>>25609468
Explain M-Sceptile? Why not just run the Sceptile-EX + Ariados deck?
Also, is Darkrai/Hypno worth looking at?
>>25610091
>Also, is Darkrai/Hypno worth looking at?
Absolutely. I have no clue if it can be placed on the tier list, but it's definitely a viable rogue. The deck's basically just Yveltal except it can set up faster, heal itself, and leave your opponent asleep every turn.
>>25607883
I rate it 1/32
Are you even trying?
>>25610091
>Explain M-Sceptile?
eternal loop of healing.
old vid but you can imagine what the last few expansions added yourself. Revitilizer, hitting garchomp, greninja for weakness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4n8RmVZHow
>>25610091
After thinking about it I think M-Sceptile should be in playable not tiered. I'm not sure about Darkrai shutting down Hypno's ability really kills the deck. I'd say maybe to playable.
>>25610049
Yveltai -will- be the number 1 deck as far as I can see. The main reason why I say M-Alakazam is up there is do to how hard it shits on Night March. (Why it's tier 2) I suspect that it will dominate then get teched against and drop.
Amended:
Tier 1:
M-Alakazam/Bats, YZG
Tier 2:
Night March, M-Manectric, Entei
Tier 3:
Trevenant, Raichu, Vespiqueen, Zygarde/Carbink BREAK
Playable tier:
M-Gardevoir, M-Fug, P-Groudon, Greninja BREAK, Mill, Giratina, Darkrai/Hypno, M-Sceptile/Airados
Maybe tier:
Delphox, Fossil, Regi Box, Bench Lucario
Guys, just tried to make my first non-theme deck. Did I do well? What could I change to make it competitive? I'd just like to know before trading for the cards.
>>25610886
You have an unlimited supply of basic fairy energies, why are you using different ones.
>TOTT
Either Roxie, Roxanne or the XY Battle Girl.
Foreheads, man.
>>25610958
First ones that my pointer was on top of, really.
>>25610716
>The main reason why I say M-Alakazam is up there is do to how hard it shits on Night March.
You're kidding right? Have you seen what Alakazam is weak to?
>>25610716
Bump Alakazam down a tier or two
Bump M-Mane/Jolteon up a tier
Replace Zygarde with Lucario
is the majestic xerneas bundle worth getting?
>>25611660
A regular Xerneas is worth like 0.5 packs, maybe less.
So only get it if you want the sleeves/box, or if you really want to collect the otherwise unobtainable alternate art.
>>25611679
Ah it's the same as the regular ones?
I already have 2 from that shit theme deck.
>just getting into PTCG
>want to build Raichu/Bats
>all the good cards I pulled are untradeable
PTCGO is suffering
>>25610886
First non-theme deck and you have already 2 shaymins?
Lately I am seeing people playing themed decks in a very weird way. For example using lysandre to a full healed pokemon when they could kill the one in game, or using a superpotion when the pokemon has just 1 damage counter. Like when you are playing against the computer. Is there a bot for ptcgo, or is it just coincidence?
>>25610886
that skyla art is so lewd
>>25612866
The fact that I have never, ever had to wait longer than ten seconds to find a match, ever, has suggested this too.
It could be 3 AM on a weeknight and I still get magically paired instantly. I have no clue how or why this happens. This game can't be so stupidly popular as to allow this 24/7.
Is this a good list for Rai/Bats? What should I add?
Just bought Pokemon cards again for the first time in about 12 years, bought 5 booster packs and got these, just wondering if they are worth anything?
