So as someone who played only up to Gen 2 in IRL and Pokemon TCG for gameboy many years ago, how would I fare with my middling experience in Magic and Hearthstone going into Pokemon TCG Online?

IIRC to win in this game, you have to pick up 4 present cards by KOing your opponent's mons right?
>>
>>25851272
Those look like bootlegs/fakes.
>>
>>25851334

6 of your own cards from the deck (60) become your prize cards. If you defeat you take one prize, if you defeat a big basic (i.e Pokemon EX /Mega) you take two.

A players wins by taking all of their prize cards, opponent unable to play a card, or by them decking out.
>>
>>25851445
By decking out I assume you mean getting milled or giving up?

Also, I see, so it's 6 cards instead of 4.

On my way to download this then, is the in-game music pretty good or should I download some Pokemon jams to listen to on the side?
>>
>>25851464

Decking out means you cannot draw a card at the beginning of your turn.

4-Card Prizes is for 40-card decks (basically only used in Prereleases), for any non-standard sized decks it is 1 Prize Card for every 10-cards in a deck
>>
>>25851484
Alright so it was milling.

Also I appreciate the rule-sharing m8.

Downloading as we speak.

I was 2-2 this past weekend. It either works or it doesn't, depending on your initial hand, but I guess that's card games.

The only EX mon I always see as trouble, regardless of what deck I'm playing, Is mewtwo. In all its forms and varieties.
Everything else is meh unless I'm getting fucked by weaknesses or effects or something.
I go "oh fuck there's no way I win this" more often when facing regular pokemon with weird effects or BREAK pokemon than EXes.
>>
Anyone here ever experimented with Unlimited format broken as hell decks? most of the good ones win on the first turn or keep the other guy from winning on the first turn.
I'm most familiar with the Blastoise variants, but there's also stuff based around Crobat PHF and some mill decks and of course Shiftry is a thing.

I'm building the Blastoise/Espeon/Foretress unlimited deck because it's a fun solitare deck.( autistic, I know.) I need like 4 more cards to complete it. I think I'm missing a Junk Arm and 2 Erika... then I should be good.

I don't really mind spending on some of the pricey-ish cards in the deck since I'm a collector anyways. the only really expensive thing was the Espeon foil, which runs around 25-30 bucks (I double sleeved the thing so it doesnt get ruined)
>>
>>25852585
Not many people here play Unlimited because there really isn't a point to it.
>>
>>25852585
>25-30 dollars is expensive
um
>>
>>25852585
I'd love to play unlimited but I can barely go by in Expanded playing Shedinja/Mew combo decks.
>>
>>25852612
For cards not even in Standard that is kind of expensive.
>>
>>25852612
that is a lot for a rotated normal foil. it's only that much since it's an eeveelution from the e-reader sets. Aquapolis foils are already pretty pricey for normal foils, so add to that the fact it's an espeon.

Legacy seems like a fun format. too bad it'll never be an official tournament format. it'd be pretty expensive to play it too since I imagine the secondary market for those older cards would explode if it was played with paper.

There's not a lot of specific decks you can build around that skill, it's mostly to prevent opponent self-milling and fancy tricks I guess.

>>25854412
UB and Potion are. That's half the reason they're so valuable. Same with Skyla.
They're still Standard-legal, though, since they got reprinted.
To add to the list, FA N and some foil HGSS energies including DCE are also expensive.

>WPM does obvious joke post implying Toad will get reprinted
>IT ACTUALLY DOES GET REPRINTED
>along with Battle Compressor

What is even the point of having extended if they're just going to fucking reprint everything everyone hates right before they rotate out?

>>25854738
The collection number is higher than the total set number. Like Dark Raichu back in Team Rocket, it has 83/82.

It's also fucking gold.
>>
>>25854749
The April Fools joke was posted a few days AFTER the EXxMxBREAK expansion was announced, though
Which made it really confusing
>>
>>25854770
We didn't actually know that Toad was going to be in it, though.
>>
>>25854749

Well, this is a Japanese only thing so don't go into a huge panic yet since there is a chance we might not get this in English since the Wobbuffet BREAK in that set is being released in English as a Promo if they do release the set in English though (knowing the bastards in TPCi they'll do it this November before Sun&Moon is a thing for the TCG) you can go into DEFCON-1

>>25854770

The premium EXxMegaxBREAK pack was announced a while ago, but we have no idea on what would get reprinted until very recently
>>
>>25854778
We knew Shaymin was in it, though.

>>25854817
>there is a chance we might not get this in English
The pack the reprints are coming in is a full 131-card set.
I would be surprised if they didn't bring over such a huge set.
>>
>this Machamp box yet again

I have so many copies of this fucking theme deck, why can't they do more shit like they did with Typhlosion or Meganium?
>>
>>25854882
Are you talking about the new bundle in the shop?
Because as someone who only started recently and has no legacy cards, this bundle will be a great opportunity to get into legacy if I would want to.
>>
Does BREAK count as evolution? Can I evosoda or Wally into it?
>>
>>25855037
They have this bundle every other month. Everything in it is useless aside from the packs, and I'd rather get a promo prime with the packs for less than shit for more.
>>
>>25855037
>this bundle will be a great opportunity to get into legacy if I would want to.
Not really. All you get out of it is 1x Oak.

It might not be good for you, but this really is a good thing for new players right now.
They have a good chance at going for some junk arms.

>>25855456
They'd be better off with playable primes like Mew, Celebi or Yanmega + packs. Or better yet, put some fucking mid-BW packs like Dark Explorers and Dragons Exalted. Fucking no one owns Ho-Oh.

I'd pay 1000 coins just for Celebi Prime and 2 packs.
>>
>>25855537
>Mew
>Yanmega
>Playable
>>
>>25855557
Mew used to be playable in Unlimited with Shedinja.

Yanmega is one of the better primes. Technically nothing besides trainers and a few niche pokemon from HGSS are playable in Legacy as huge as the power creep is.
>>
>>25855579
I'm sure you can do something wonky with Mew, but it's not very viable.

>Yanmega is one of the better primes.
It's very below-curve in terms of damage and energy costs. Especially when Grass has another better option in the form of ViriGen+Celebi.

The only "playable" Primes are Celebi like you said, Scizor, Electrode, and MAYBE Meganium so you can Max Potion a Genesect. And other than Celebi, none of those are particularly recommended.

How is "Advantage" determined?
>>
>>25855992
Reach your wincon before your opponent.
If both reach it at about the same time, then Lysandre each other.
>>
>>25855992
usually it's type matchup, I'm not sure though. my client has been bugging out badly since the update, advantage just seems to be applied randomly.
>>
>>25855992
>>25856159
>>25856187
"Advantage" is given to the player with a higher evaluative score (this score value has a specific name for the algorithm used to generate it, but I forgot it...). This score is built up over your entire career of playing ranked games (at least since this was added in as a feature) and is based on your wins and losses, as well as the scores of those you won and lost again.

In general, this single number is an attempt by the program to objectively represent your typical performance and skill in play, regardless of what decks you played or played against. The game will try to pair you with another player of similar score if one is available when making a game.

PTCGO Staff Q&A

>Q: do you know when the company will look into the rng? every update it gets worse and worse with the rng.

>A: I've asked about the rng since many of you have brought it up. We have run multiple analysis and reports that verify once again that it is a true random number generator as I expected. When I worked on other online games, that same concern would be brought up. I hope folks can understand that shuffling and even coin flipping in the real world is not truly random. There are numerous physical effects that can affect them from body language to air and card resistance as well as how the cards were last stacked before being shuffled. We understand that the end result "feels" different and on some level it is but it is not because the rng is defective, but because it is giving you a completely unbiased random effect each time.

What do the star, lightning bolt, and trophy symbols on the right of the daily challenge icons mean? Sometimes some of them are grayed out.

The modes that challenge can be completed in.

Star is trainer battle (singleplayer), lighting bolt is versus and trophy is tournament.
Chances are you'll only be able to do most challenges in versus and tournament.

>tips for working king's guard into something less crap otherwise?
Legacy format lets you add HGSS cards into your deck.
This does not mean HGSS are good or even usable in Legacy format.
A select few trainers like Oak and Junk Arm are good. Everything else is literal trash.
Legacy Format might as well be called "Standard Format 2013".
