How to progress in PTCGO, tl;dr edition:
>complete all Trainer Challenges (Cheat Engine's speedhack strongly recommended to speed up AI games)
>play through using Basic decks to unlock them for versus play
>farm Versus Mode theme ladder for Tokens and Tournament Tickets
>Enter Theme format tournaments whenever possible
>enter Standard/Expanded ticket tournaments and accept that you'll lose
>you'll get tradable tournament chests and sometimes tradable packs
>DON'T OPEN THEM
>Instead, trade them for the cards you actually want for a deck you want to build, most cards go for like 1-3 packs each.
>Public trade is like the GTS, if you want proper results, put up your own offers.
>if you don't know what deck you want to build yet, see http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/forum/tcg-competitive-play.156/ or check out tournament results for a list of viable decks http://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/state-province-championships-2016/decks/week-four/
To see what your PTCGO stuff is worth, look on the PTCGO forums in the trading section. Top Cut & other big trading companies will typically overprice cards, expect to get lower

TotT: how do you feel about Full Art cards?
So i just started ptcgo and was wondering when i can start redeeming codes? And whats a good theme deck to spend coins on?
>>26198137
ToTT: I collect them, but I wouldn't play with them unless I really have to aka the time when Darkrai EX first came out in 2012 and I didn't have enough non FA Darkrai EXs
>>26198158
If you do the trainer challenges, you will eventually unlock a few starter theme decks for free, that is about the same level as theme decks you can purchase from the store. If that doesn't sound appealing, Wave Slasher and Dark Hammer are pretty okay theme decks.
In the TCGO, if you play in a tournament and you don't make it to the finals, can you just press 'Quit Tournament' and join another one and still get the rewards? Or do you have to stay in it until it's over in order to get your rewards?
>>26198566
Yeah you can. It just lets you know when it ends.

I havent played in a year now we have eeveelution FAs!? How much are they I must buy them all!
>>26198999

and SHID you are Simply lucky
>>26199025
Well, Jolteon, Leafeon, and Vaporeon don't have Full Art counterparts and they are usually around $10~15since they are not that viable
>>26199081
I thought Jolteon was like $45 or something last time I heard?
Havent played since EB and jesus this new layout is godshit. Is there a way to revert it?
>>26199098
He is referring the Eeveelution FAs, which Jolteon EX lacksand if there is a Jolteon EX FA it'd be $60~80 with ease
>>26199098
$34 on Amazon
>>26199145
I see, thats not too bad I guess. Though I would kill for a leafeon FA shame they don't have it
>>26198729
meh, They were all packs I got from store credit after trading in my amiibos. so no real dosh outta my pockets
Am I the only one who collects Full Arts? I know my collection is nappy so far.
>get Alakazam pin pack

I love how they made the least amount of holos ever and upped their pull ratio.

It's exactly the same I'm pretty sure, you're probably just experiencing confirmation bias :)
>>26199368
>am I the only one
No. You're never the only one.
Anyways, I personally collect all the copies of Mew ever printed, but I do horde full arts of all the supporters in case I need them for my deckexcept N, I sold that shit for $60.
AND ITS FUCKING TRADELOCKED
Oh wow, the code for the shiny Xerneas gives you a non holo Gallade and two non holo Octilleries. Neat.
>>26198137
I love full art cards. It pleases my autism to collect them all in the online game.
>>26198137
>TotT
I love FA cards, they're the reason I got back into the tcg. I remember seeing the FA Cobalion back around the plasma block and I really wanted it. I didn't want to pay a bunch of money for a single so I thought I'd try my luck and got an ETB, and pulled these, I was so happy, I simply couldn't believe it
>>26198137
I don't really care about full arts
Some are nice, usually the supporters, and a lot of the pokemon are hit or miss
If I get them I'll use them but I don't go out of my way for them
So what tier would you say all these Alakazam/Crobat deck are? I'd say it's at least tier 1

Your first order of business
>4 VS Seekers
>4 Sycamore
>4 Ultra Ball
Then just work from there. You always want to find a gimmick for a deck.
>>26202022
what I've been doing so far is drawing energy with articuno and accelerating with milotic, trying to get greninja and feraligatr up as fast as I can
once they're set up I've been tossing water shurikens for guaranteed 160 damage second strikes which seems to be the only thing that has a good chance against all the EXs that other people run all the time
it's not very stable, though I guess it's to be expected for being nocards
I'm assuming you're supposed to be milling supporters with ultra ball/sycamore and pulling them back with vs seeker?
>>26201888
This deck screems for 2x battle compressor and mentioned by >>26202022 cards. Pokemon Center Lady is shit as she heals 60 points of damage and that usually means nothing against fully setup opponent, yet it costs you a card. Cheren and the letter are also pretty bad.
>buy Elite Trainer Box because everyone is pulling FAs and SRs
>pull Delphox Break and Bronzong Break only
>>26201888
Read the OP next time.
>>26201888
I think I played against this earlier. Thanks for the free win.
bought a Japanese rage of the broken heavens booster box for $30 on Amazon and got 3 EXs and trevenant break. (Pic related)
compared to the one American booster box that cost me $100 and I only pulled 2 EX :^(
So, I've been grinding tournaments for the past two days, and I now have 31 tradeable Fates Collide packs. Is this enough to trade for a complete Night March deck?
>>26203301
shaymins go for ~15+ so not yet
>>26203301
>>26203310
The other 57 cards in the deck shouldn't cost more than 5-6 packs total
>>26203383
Really? So the only 'expensive' card I need to get is Shaymin? What about Mew EX, and Jirachi EX?
>>26203570
Should have specified Expanded.
Mew are 1 RS each
Jirachi are 1-2.
>>26203577
Nah, I wasn't specifically referring to Expanded. I was just looking for the most known and most used Night March set, whether it'd be Standard or Expanded.
>>26203686
just run 4 of each nm mons (joltik pumpkaboo lampent) and 3 shaymins, normal draw supporters, fighting fury belt, and dimension valley. most people run 4 dce as their only energy

3-3 Altaria is fine.
Fit in a Hoopa EX, it's virtually staple in Mega decks.
A fourth Fairy Garden would be good too, so you can cycle Altaria to heal
Let DCE be your dedicated special energy for M Altaria and run basic Fairy to accelerate with either Xerneas, Mega Turbo, or Max Elixer. Right now, it takes you two turns to set up an Altaria which is too slow for what you're trying to do.

nah I just started and cracked a pack and got a few rares that got me my sylveons. all I have left are umbreon Ex and the FC lugia

>I need 2 more m Alakazam ex's to finish my deck

M Audino/Bats is arguably better.

>>26205869
>How?
Ho-oh can take multiple prizes a turn against Night March and sets up relatively easily off M Mane and a Compressor. It also one-shots Shaymin, so you can take one out alongside a Joltik for a 3-prize turn. With Belt, NM struggles to one-shot it so you can pull it back onto the bench to heal. It also sets itself up to one-shot EX decks, giving it good coverage against other matchups.
>>26205904
I'll trade you mine for a Zygarde EX or FA M Alakazam. Those are all I need from the pack at this point.
>>26205931
I was asking about M Audino.
>>26205993
It's identical to Ho-oh except it doesn't require three different energies and another Pokemon's attack to set up, gives you more flexibility in terms of deck building since it's colorless, and does 20 more damage to the bench which lets you KO both Joltik and FC Mew. Bats let you hit Pumpkaboo.
Like Ho-oh, it one-shots Shaymin and sets up one-shots on other EXs.
I mean, Mane/Ho-oh wasn't an amazing deck to start off with so saying this is better than it isn't much, but it's worth mentioning.
>rules has section about what card sleeves are allowed

for those who just start out, what should trainer tokens be saved for?
theme decks for more theme grinding or packs?
>>26206212
Theme decks for what you listed as well as giving you more choices on what to run in Versus mode and Theme Tournaments.
>>26206212
XY Blue is the best theme deck, so there's no point in buying a theme deck if you just want to grind.
If you want cards to move into Standard, you can get an entire theme deck for a single pack. They're worthless.
Packs are gambling and you'll never pull what you need or enough copies of it.
Use all your tokens on tournaments to get more tickets so you can get packs to trade for what you need.
Save tokens for the weekly bundle since they contain cards you otherwise can never get without paying exorbitantly.
>>26206242
>entire theme deck for a pack
what really? which ones?
>>26206260
He says this about everything in the TCGO because he got lucky with a few trades, just ignore him.
Also, you can't trade unopened theme decks or League bundles.
>>26206260
Pic related is your average theme deck card. Do you think anyone's actively seeking out this garbage? Do you think people value this at anything? You can probably get 200 of this Manectric for a tournament chest. 99% of theme deck cards are virtually unusable outside of theme format.
There are some specific exceptions. Yveltal, Greninja, and Zoroark might be around 0.5 packs each, for example. You can count these examples on one hand.
>>26206298
Stop feeding newfags disinfo. Do you think anything in Ocean's Core's star-spangled decklist is valuable? Do you think people are scrambling to get the states-topping cards found in Storm Rider?

post pulls
>>26206324
I'm sorry, I just realized that I might have been misunderstood with >>26206242
I didn't mean that you should forego buying theme decks with tokens and instead trade for it.
I meant that a majority of theme decks are so unviably shit that they're not even worth a single pack. Buying them for the sake of getting cards for Standard is a waste.
I should have worded it better.
>>26206324
>Ocean's Core
Not intruding on this argument, but this reminded me. I posted a few threads ago that my gf and I picked up this and the other PRC theme deck to play against each other. I'm a competitive player so this was an absolute nightmare.
And of course, somehow, some way, Ocean's Core - the theme deck I chose - is better than the other one because of shit like pic related and alpha growth Whiscash. She got pissy about losing all the time so we scrapped the theme decks to build a Medicham deck and a Whiscash deck out of the remains.
It's a lot less stressful than trying to play with the theme decks, jesus christ.

>>26206570
NO.
>>26206587

>next pack I open is regular M Alakazam EX
>Just cemented first or second place for myself.
Neat, now that Unleashed pack is guaranteed.
>>26206414
You're absolutely correct. It's not like this at all in any other TCG. For most other card games, you can buy 3-4 of a starter deck, slap them together and throw in some staples you have sitting around, then go on to win locals.
I did specifically that in Yugioh with Gravekeepers, Fairies, and Monarchs. This is literally impossible in Pokemon.
>>26206901
Agreed, although whether or not that's possible depends on the card game and your local meta.Part of me regrets getting into Vanguard for this very reason.

I think most of the bots that lurk this thread are more likely watching for images now with image to text scanners.
>>26208618There aren't any bots, I'm responsible for taking like 90% of the codes that get posted here and I type them in by hand each time.Sorry for not posting pulls. I don't open them.
>>26208630
>Sorry for not posting pulls. I don't open them.
Please leave Jew.
So about tournaments.
Are you supposed to enter regardless of skill level? The OP says prepare to lose, but I assume you still get a participation prize?
>>26208825
Play theme deck tournaments. It's all about draws rather than skill.
anybody in the mood for some codes?
>>26209067
yeah sure
>>26208825
Yep, the usual consolation prize is a tradable Uncommon Chest plus (and extra 25 tokens if it's a 6 ticket tournament).
professor oak...
>>26209067
always!
>>26198637
not into the whole WORDS ON THE CARD LOOK THERE ARE WORDS BLOCKING YOUR ART HAHA FUCK YOU thing.
>>26209097
Do people even trade for uncommon chests?
>>26209076
>>26209115
please post pulls... its kind of a pain in the ass for me to get this shit set up :3
>>26209215
All gone in seconds.
>>26208157
moths checkem
>>26209215
If people don't post the corresponding amount of pulls perhaps it is time to stop posting free codes.
>>26209215
>>26209215
No codes but thanks for posting!
>>26209215
I THOUGHT I was ready
I didn't get any, sorry m80;_;
>>26209215
Was waiting and didn't get anything.
Now that the dust has settled, is it worth it to still buy FC packs with the ingame tokens? Or just keep saving for bundles as usual?
>>26209471
>bundles
LOL
>>26209471
FC is one of the worst packs we've had. I know everything post PHF has been literal shit, but FC really takes the cake.
The best card in the set is a reprint.
Why the fuck can I never connect to this game?
i'll post some more codes if you guys help me/listen to a semi-TCG related blog post
>>26207448
Or buy a Gyarados box, and stuff a few boosters through the little window. Unless the boosters have theft detection thingies you should be good to go.
>>26209581
What do you need help with?
>>26209625
women help, idk why the fuck I'm going to 4chan with this
>>26209215
>>26209254
>>26209278
>10 packs posted
>3 pulls posted
Fucking shit the pack Jews are real.
>>26209632
yeah, I stopped posting codes after I posted 20 or so once and didn't get a single pull response, what started as a nice thing has been ruined by faggots being greedy and bots
I missed two codes, but people are butthurt about not getting them in time or whatever. I seriously doubt someone made a bot to browse a single thread on 4chan just to get more codes, but I'll say that the first person to respond to this with a disposable email gets the codes. There's only two left. They're for the xy breakthrough pack. Dunno if it's even worth it, but all well.

Sent. Feel free to post em.

I really wasn't expecting you to send the packs.
Thanks
fuck it. hear me out and I'll email codes to anyone that gives me advice on the below situation.Started a new job back in January and I met this femal who is around my age. She's pretty quiet, but really fucking smart and likes the same shit I do, like Pokemon. I get the feeling that she's never had a lot of friends, and I'm pretty sure she doesn't have a boyfriend. I'm just not sure if I should make a move. she laughs at the things I say, and there are several times where I've caught her staring and smiling at me to the point that I have to ask "what?" she also buys me drinks from our work cafeteria once in a while and has sat next to me in the cafeteria sometimes when I've gotten to work early. I play/collect Pokemon cards (pls no bully) and two Fridays ago she asked if she could join me at a prerelease for cards. She said she just wanted to watch me play and cheer me on. It ended up being really fun. she sat really close to me and helped me with some shit. didn't do anything afterwards tho. This past Monday she asked me the next time there is an event and said she'd actually want to play with me this upcoming weekend? Should I make a move? Does it seem like she likes me?
>>26210087
nike
>>26210087
she's into you. just don't go all out with it all at once; that's usually off-putting for girls. baby steps.
>>26210087
If what you are saying is true just ask her if she wants to be your GF she'll say yes and if not it's just friends either way she sounds pretty nice. Just remember if she does reject you as a Boyfriend don't take it badly don't hype yourself up because you can still have a really good friend from the deal.
Ultimately just talk about it man it's the only way.
>>26210087
definitely likes you and you should definitely make a move, don't go all out though at first
give her a kiss at the end of the day and she how she reacts, more than likely it's gonna be what she wants and she'll be estatic
ok i've been mulling over getting into playing irl for a few months now, whats the best way to do it
>>26210087
If she wasn't into you, she would bring up the fact that she wanted to go somewhere and do something with you. She is literally saying she wants to go on a date with you without actually saying it. You say she's quiet and like hasn't had a ton of friends so she'd likely be embarrassed if she actually came out and said it. This is your queue to pop in with something like "So there's this blah blah blah pokemon thing blah blah blah," If she agrees to go with you then you should chime in with something like "It's a date then." If she doesn't disagree in the slightest, or even just completely agrees with you, then there's your first move. Next you should actually ask her out on a date to get dinner and a movie or something.
>/vp/ dating advice
>>26210255
Find a card shop or something similar that hosts local tournaments and the like. People are friendly and would totally help someone who's new and wants to join in.
>>26210087
I hope everything goes well for you anon.
>>26210087
I lost my shot like this 3 years ago. Go for it.
>>26210119
>>26210130
>>26210237
Don't listen to this anons, they have no idea, probably virgins
>>26210290
This is good advice, but you dont have to call it a date. Just ask her to meet outside work, in a bar or some place so you can talk, drink something and get to know each other. Alcohol is your best friend in these cases, never forget that.
Post pulls!
>>26210666
Thanks anon.
I haven't played the tcg since like gen 3, but I've got a question. Why is it that all the rarest cards in the modern card game seem to have this hideous CG art on them instead of beautiful hand drawn art. I looked up some of the new cards and it looks like the common cards are all still hand drawn, but the rare cards all look like shit. Kinda defeats the hype of opening a pack and getting a rare card in my opinion.
>>26210859
> Why is it that all the rarest cards in the modern card game seem to have this hideous CG art on them instead of beautiful hand drawn art.
Lord knows, but the current theory is that it's an in-house artist doing the CG artwork for the cards.
Today I was judging an LC. A guy played Ace Trainer and neither of them realized that they had the same amount of prizes. They both shuffled their hands in. I didn't know what to do kek.
>>26211421
Irrepairable game state generally results in a game loss. At least in 3 other card games.
>>26211466
Yes, I know that of course. But they both shuffled their hands in and neither were paying attention to the state of the game. So I didn't know how I could give the game loss to only the guy that played it.
>>26204497
I'll bite, I'm fairly new, send a few my way

>>26211480
Well, Player 1 was the one who played it illegally, made Player 2 perform an illegal action, and gained significant advantage off the play.
Generally, Player 2 not calling out Player 1's illegal actions is more of a warning thing at worst, and that's all that Player 2 did. Punishing them both equally would have made even less sense.
Finally got them!
Cost ~150 pack value but with the Legacy packs being released and a lot of the SR Trainers dropping in value, it seemed like a safe investment. Highly doubtful something like these will be released again.
What is this expression trying to convey?
>>26212010
The red Worlds items are really easy to get, but good job on getting the other ones.

>>26213165
hey im on a budget here anon.
deck relies on bringing out mega mewtwo as fast as possible having him as a sweeper.
>>26213192
Except you'll be steamrolled before that even happens without even having an Ultra Ball.
Here's what I would do with a MMewtwo deck.
>This is just my preference and not based at all on highly competitive play.
>>26213254
great now i just need to invest in a shaymin
