Assuming it is Steam Up Volcanion-EX in the fall tin and not a new card, building the 8 Volcanion deck will be pretty cheap thanks to regular Volcanion also being in a theme deck.
>>26765127
>mfw Greninja Break is now going for 20 bucks
I'm glad I bought three for 12 each 3 months ago.
Should I use Emboar-EX for my Pyroar deck?
I fucking hate fighting challenges. The decks are all so all-in that people fold once you get going. What is a good deck to rip through a damage and a ko challenge at the same time?
>>26766812
Medicham
It's fragile enough to give hope of a counterattack
So with what type of deck would a M-Ray EX go well with?
>>26765127
Thank you so much anon
>>26766971
Man I fucking love exploiting Medicham's double yoga kick. I didn't even know there was a common deck around it; I got it randombly, decided to try it out, and it was just a matter of time before it became my favorite card and made decks around it.
>>26769629

How soon after this ends does the ladder update. I have three hours to burn before a flight here.

>PC Groudon-EX
>Full art Maxie's
A simple 1 part Speed Ray challenge
>>26769921

>>26770167
I would say no and use trades as proof but there's just no listings right now. Probably still pretty worthless and a waste of time to get it.
>>26767053

Any good strategy against this piece of shit? (that isn't another EX).
>>26770398

Meme march
>>26770398
Raichu bats has a good match up against night march and damage change Mewtwo right?
>>26770761
>Night March
Nope, you're an inherently slower deck.
>Mewtwo
HAHAHA
Does Raticate breaks hyper fang count towards the 300 coin challenge?
>>26770797
Care to explain on the mewtwo match up? I do not understand what you are trying to say friend
>>26771037
To kill a Mewtwo EX with FFB attached you need all eight (8) benched Pokemon + Muscle Band + Golbat + Crobat (230 damage) OR + a second Golbat (220 damage).
And if you can't hit that perfect number, it's all coming off and taking a Raichu, or whatever's active, with it.
Bink
I love how I lose the opening coin toss every time I flip but my opponent loses every time they flip.
Pretty pleased today, found a Mew box for £9 mainly because I wanted the card + badge.
Got a few nice pulls from the packs too.
>>26770797
>nightmarch
>slower than anything
What? When did that become a thing?
I know you technically cap at 180 or something, but you have Mew who can make you hit 240 with just 6 night marchers.
>>26772909
You're reading it backwards.
Raichu is the deck to which I was referring as being slower than Night March.
>>26772971
Oh true, my mistake
>>26771090
Raichu bats best bet is to win the prize exchange by crippling Mewtwo with the threat of 2 hit kos
>>26773066
>2 hit kos
>Mewtwo EX
>>26773105
Yes, damage change can only shave off 90 hp per raichu or 130 per crobat
>>26773423
Does Damage Change not remove all damage from it if the Defending Pokemon has no damage on it?
>Get my first Shaymin EX
>Public Offers in trade become utter garbage
sadness
>>26773423
>Does Damage Change not remove all damage from it if the Defending Pokemon has no damage on it?
Damage change does remove all damage counters from mewtwo and move them to the defending pokemon. I was wrong my bad. It was just so op i couldn't believe it.
i don't need them
have fun

Since Wild Blaze was released in 2014, I think that's a definite "yes" in regards to that question.
I can't never get to the end of the ladder. Do all wins only give 10-15 points?
It's really hard to win a match on this game since everybody concedes.

Why did EX pokemon have to be the only ones with mega evolutions?
It would even make thematic sense to allow mega evolutions to regular pokemon in their second stage, as there is supposed to be a strong bond between trainer and pokemon, and what better way of forming a bond than going through the process of evolving a pokemon twice.
>>26772868
That Zapdos. I have to get that. Beautiful...
>>26788429
Because they wanted Megas to be playable.
>>26784620
It's so fucking annoying. Whenever I get challanges about knocking out a certain amount of pokemon, it takes more battles than it should because people almost always quit after one of their EX or legendaries get defeated.

>Make Typhlosion deck just for fun

Damn I made the deck because the idea sounded ridiculous and it would break boredom but man this is amazing.
So many people bitching about hacking and cheating after their EXs got 400 damage down their throats.
I am more motivated to try crazy decks outside the meta. Next step: Swampert EX.
>>26788429
The real problem is that they cemented EX Pokemon as a permanent mechanic in the TCG. It's not like Megas are a temporary concept like ATs or SP Pokemon.
>>26792204
What did your Typhlosion list look like?
>>26792655
I have no problem with this.
>>26793052
4-2-4 line of typhlosion
30 energies
4 rare candies
4 VS Seekers
4 Skyla
4 N
2 Lysandre
2 Teammates
I think I could improve by adding super rods or other helpful items but lets be honest, this deck is for gambling addicts due to having no knowledge of what you are discarding. Ence the big number o key supporters plus 4 VS seekers.
Im using N instead of Sycamore due to heavy energy presence, and late in game you want every energy in the deck.
>>26792655
I love EX since they make the game faster by taking 2 prizes instead of one. Plus when you take out a key EX the most likely is having your opponent forfeit.
>>26787273
I tried (I'm sure it was before that other anon claimed them all for them), but it didn't accept any code. It always processes them without the first "-". Is that normal? Do I just type them in capitals with the corresponding "-"s?
>>26793415
you don't need the "-" make sure there are no spaces and it isn't cap sensitive.
>>26793415
The last letter/number was cut off of every code. You need to add 1 letter/number to the end.
>>26793516
>>26793622
Thanks a lot, I'll keep it in mind next chance.

Are the best boosters to gamble on objectively Roaring Skies, Plasma Freeze, and [s]Generations[/s]?
>>26794705
Wait what the fuck? Did they change the spoiler tags, or am I just really fucking high?
>>26794336
Pretty much this. I pulled the same gar out a physical pack the other day. Neat looking card (I fucking love PHF's Janemba jellybean aesthetic), but it's not very useful.
>>26765127
Aside from bringing 8 hammer + Grunts and deleting all their colorless energy straight away, is there a consistent way to beat night march?
>>26794705
Plasma Freeze has the least chance for big bucks but the highest payouts, at 200, 70, and a few 20-30.
Roaring Skies has an easier chance at a payout but the jackpot is lower at 60, 50, and two 30's, only one being secret rare.
Generations has only two money cards in it, both are regular ultra rare in a set with higher ratios at 30-40 each, so it's easier to hit but the payout is less and many other ultra rares can pay the value of the pack.
Phantom Forces has one money card at 30, which is secret rare, but it also has two uncommons at 10 dollars and 5-7 dollars apiece, so buying those packs can actually yield the highest profit overall.
I pulled this a little while ago.
Is it any good?
>>26794903
>Generations has only two money cards
Oh, which other card besides Jolteon? Is it Charizard because Charizard?
Also, that one secret rare in RSK is one that'll only appreciate.
Honorary mentions go to Plasma Blast and Ancient Origins I suppose. Love me some SR Trainers.
>>26795116
Rare Candy isn't that expensive and PB's other ultra rares are all cheap to middling except Jirachi. AO's most exspensive card is Trainer's Mail and it's less than 30, most of the rest of the set is very cheap.
VS Seeker will only appreciate if it gets reprinted.
>>26795144
>VS Seeker will only appreciate if it gets reprinted.
You mean, if it continues to be reprinted.
>>26795174
Ultra Ball was less than a hundred for a long while. On release if I remember correctly it wasn't even that pricey. Only until it got so many reprints that it would stick around forever did it spike. Same will be true for VS Seeker.
>>26795203
You're correct, I just misunderstood what you meant.
>>26795116
>Is it Charizard because Charizard?
It is practically a cardinal rule of Pokemon TCG, if it is a Charizard it will worth than anything else with the same rarity in a setmaybe except the Generation Radiant Collection one
>>26795203
ScR Ultra Ball was around $30~40 when it first came out since everyone was all over Deoxys EX when Plasma Freeze first came out
>>26793116
Wouldn't an Energy Recycler or Super Rod be helpful? Hell, I'd drop two energy for both of those due to both your low basic count and the likelihood of discarding pivotal cards.
>>26794903
>200
What the fuck card from Plasma Freeze is $200? SR Ultra Ball?

I hope some kid who knew how to take care of cards got something awesome in those first six packs, because holy shit.
>>26795540
I would assume those packs were mixed from leftover packs since there is very little chance of you would open 2 of the same EXs (and 2 of the same FAs) back then from the same sealed box as the pulls weren't that generous Pre-LTR/XYI opened a ScR Ultra Ball from a single-pack Promo blister back when PLF first came out
>>26795340
Nope, Generations is worth more too. I traded in four of them the other week for more than a buck a piece. Was worth more than the recent White Kyurem.
>>26795653I've been going for those blisters recently. Is this the one with Next Destinies, Plasma Blast and Plasma Freeze?
I got a zygarde collection and got a genesectEX, and that figure, which is pretty neato. But i also got this meowth, and it's holographic all the way through, what's up with that? Is that normal?

Has there ever been a deck as dominant as Haymaker in the TCG?pls no bully i know my fone is shit
>>26796128
Yes. It's a fake. Congrats.
>>26803456
It's not fake you cunt, they are errors.
>>26770398
Regice. Probably Lugia Ex as well
>>26803558
Here all the non-EX ways to counter Mewtwo's damage change attack:
>Regice AOR
>Pumpkaboo PHF
>Bent Spoon
>Pyroar FLF
That's it.
>>26803558
>>26803596
Regice, Spoon, and Pyroar don't counter it. When Mewtwo uses Damage Swap against a target that isn't affected, all the damage counters on Mewtwo still get removed, they just don't get moved onto the target.
And since neither Regice nor Pyroar can OHKO Mewtwo, it ends up in a stalemate.
>>26803432
Haymaker had a handful of viable alternatives. Sabledonk did not.
>>26803646
>Haymaker had a handful of viable alternatives.
Pfft, no.
>>26803616
Then the only answer is Pumpkaboo. This is also the only actually correct answer since Night March is the reason Mewtwo EX never gained traction.
>>26803672
Wiggly was arguably a better deck.
>>26803696
And gets oneshot by Hitmonchan.
>>26803702
>Hitmonchan with 3 energies
That's not how the deck worked.
Game 1
>5 turns in a row no energy
>Even Sycamore and Shaymins drawing cards
Game 2
>No basic Pokemon redraw 6 times
>Finally get one basic Pokemon and the rest of the hand is energy
>Draw my only two Shaymins in a row which are next to no use due to hand full of energy I can't get rid of and they draw VS seekers anyway
Game 3
>Starting hand consists of 1 basic, 3 sycamores and 3 vs seekers first draw is Lysandre
Game 4
>No basic Pokemon redraw starting hand 3 times
>I'm just going to concede
Guess that shows me for having a winning streak yesterday guess I was progressing too fast, never seen this shit in the physical card game.
>>26803717
Yes it is. Lead with Scyther because
>fire types that aren't magmar
and see what threats the opponent has. If they have water stuff then they're playing Rain Dance, so you go for your Electabuzz. If they don't, go for Hitmonchan/Scyther.
Base-Rocket is a solved meta. The only way Wiggly even has a slight edge on Haymaker is if we have access to Vending Machine cards because Hypno.
>>26803759
By the time vending would have come out, Haymaker was rarely running Electabuzz anymore. Most of them had long since switched to Magmar to counter Scyther or Promo Mewtwo to counter Hitmonchan, because those were far more common than Rain Dance.
Wigglytuff was the primary Haymaker counter, because it could come out in two turns and OHKO 70HP mons with Pluspower. The deck usually operated by throwing Hitmonchans and Scythers at the opponent until mid-game when the ERs had started to dry up a bit.
If we're going all the way from Base-Rocket, trainer lock also saw play.
>>26802497
Why is that?
>>26804538
Not him, but you really should check out the FAQ in the OP:
http://i.imgur.com/HoY1IaG.jpg
The biggest issues are the lack of focus, the mixing of many wildly different concepts, the wild ratios, the severe lack of critical staples, and some very questionable tech choices given all the previous points.
>>26804538
Where to start...
>Pokemon
Get rid of the grass stuff. It's all worthless. Focus purely on Medicham and powering up. The best cards to do this are Carbink BREAK and Landorus (from Fates Collide and Furious Fists respectively).
>Supporters
Tierno is not a good draw supporter compared to Professor Sycamore, which should be in your deck in counts of 3 or 4. N should be in there as well, at least 2. PCL is unnecessary, as is Fan Club. Now that you're focusing on Medichamp, you can afford to run 4 Korrina to help you grab Pokemon and items. Which, speaking of,
>Items
Bump the Evoosoda the 2, as well as the Professor's Letter. Add in a playset of Ultra Ball and at least 1 or 2 Battle Compressor.
>Stadiums
Cut Faded Town and bump Fighting Stadium to 2. And add in 2 Scorched Earth.
>Tools
Bump Muscle Band to 3 and Focus Sash to 2. Cut Energy Pouch, Hard Charm and Bent Spoon, they're gimmicky.
>Energy
Cut the DCE and grass, bump Strong Energy to 4.
>anything else
Since Korrina outs you any Trainer, you're free to play around with your selection, but all of the above decisions are on point. If anyone else points anything out that I'm forgetting, that would also be great.
>>26804637
Also include a playset of VS Seeker, which would allow you then to run more 1-of supporter's like Hex Maniac.
And to clarify, a playset means 4.
>>26804569
>>26804637
>>26804661
Thanks a whole lot for the advise.
I started out making decks that worked against EX pokemon (I usually use the other Bouffalant but this one was for Standard tournaments), but as time went on I put more emphasis on Medicham. I've been wanting to go all out with Medicham and turbo Carbink looks interesting. Will give it a try.
>Battle Compressor
I never understood this one. What's the point unless you are using that annoying Joltik strategy?
>>26805076
>turbo Carbink
*Carbink break
>>26805076
Battle Compressor lets you do 2 things
>fill your graveyard with Strong and Fighting Energy to use with Carbink BREAK and Landorus
>put 1-of supporters in your discard pile like Hex Maniac or Delinquent that you can tutor out with VS Seeker
Is this card cheap? I've run into decks made up entirely of EX pokemon that couldn't do anything against it and had to quit (some got madder than others).
>>26805996
it's irrelevant against half or more of the meta
the mere existence of hex maniac makes it less valuable, even against EXs
it was a much stronger power back on sigilyph and suicune
>>26805996
>not rare

>>26807770
3+6/3+3+3/6+6 energy cards on set up Delphox, and also you need 2 on Entei and/or at least 3 on another Delphox line.
After some testing I found that I can't draw Fennekin AND Ultra Ball for shit.

Nobody does that on competitive play.

>>26806846

Just started tcgo, what is the cheapest standard deck?
>>26810555
That's on the tier list? Greninja Break, Wailord stall, or Garchomp, since all three can afford to leave out Shaymin.
That isn't competitive? Literally anything, there are no non-cosmetic Standard cards that cost more than 1-2 RS outside of Shaymin and Jolteon.

anyone have a link to the installer to the client?
Switched computers and the download link isn't working http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/play-online/download/
Did they update the client?
>>26777905
no fucking shit sherlock. That's what makes it so good to win with.
>>26798860
update your OS to the latest version of El Capitan. a recent patch of PCTGO stopped supporting some versions of Yosemite in their almighty wisdom.
>Copy pasting in codes sometimes cuts off the last letter
THIS CLIENT IS FUCKING QUALITY.
>All non-Theme decks rendered unplayable due to the update.
Well, that's a first for me.
>Keep wanting to get back into this
>Go play a match or CPU
>get energy blocked from the get go and pass every turn while I watch my stupid no energy mons get pummeled
>>26812969
set up mons on your bench with a wall in the first few turns
so the change to Korrina has fucked one match for me so far.
>>26812989
I've gone 10+ turns without any energy save for 1 or 2 in my opening hand too many times to count. That is how the overwhelming majority of my matches go. I know it happens in MTG too but It was nowhere near this often, and I had the same energy to deck ratio as I always do in MTG.
>>26813078
What
>>26812969
Most decks run anywhere from 4 to 12 energy. But, essential to this, they also run a shit ton of draw power to ensure they connect with their energy.
>>26813111
I think the patch changes the way multicard searches work when the cards fit into different categories: ie fighting pokemon and trainers. You do it all at once instead of picking one and then the other.
>>26813125
the preconstructed decks kill me with their seeming unreliability to draw energy. other than that, its probably mostly just that I'm garbage and haven't invested anywhere near as much time into this as I have MTG
>>26813149
The preconstructed theme decks are garbage and are meant to play like garbage to teach 6 year olds how to play the game. Actual decks are built nothing like them.

How do I fix this?

does the person have to be online in order to make a private trade?
everytime i try to make one it says the user doesnt exist
Anyone else not won the coin toss in a week unless your opponent loses it?
>>26814662
Just keep picking tail, it wins 99% of the times.
anyone here trading their greninja breaks? if so post what you want and see if i can statisfy
im looking for 2 of them
>run 7 energy
>N
>6 energy
>>26814840
It's great when you somehow repeatedly draw all your energy over and over again.
>>26814840
Holy fucking shit it happened again. Did the update fucking break the game?
Just fucking once I'd like to go first, not have the same worst possible hand, and not watch my opponent play the best possible hand while flipping heads on all possible flips.
>4 tourneys in a row losing to going second and dying to laserbank, not being able to wake up
Love this game.
>>26815671
>new player learns the importance of a rotation and why standard is the only viable format: the post
>>26815685
>new player
Kill yourself. I'd rather deal with lasers than item lock since I never go first and my opponent perfectly sets up every game. At least in legacy I have a chance.
Don't run the reverse holo and the regular version of the same card in your deck or it will mess up anything that has multiple selections(super rod, battle compressor, water duplicates, junk hunt, brigette).
>>26815708
>old saltlord fails to understand the importance of a rotation and why standard is the only viable format: the post
>tfw beating Night March with a Mega Blastoise deck
>it's a 'people bitch about rng' thread
I'll see you nerds later.
Heads, up, you can't super rod back more than one copy of a pokemon. If you try, you get this fun bug of the card adding one to itself every time you add and remove it.
>>26815841
The problem isn't super rod, it's having different versions of the same card that have the same collection number.
>>26815841
>not wanting 18 zoroarks in your deck
>>26815919
It doesn't actually add anything to the deck/discard. I already tried a bee revenged after doing it and no damage was added. The only effect it has is soft locking you if you don't have 4 other pokemon when you sacred ash.
anyone trading their greninja break?
>>26784620
>>26789492
>>26789695
I remember some years ago that if your opponent gave up, the game didn't actually count it as a victory for you.
Those were dark times.
>>26815142
No this is normal behavior and there is literally nothing wrong with it.
>>26770398
Lol
>Fighting fury belt
It needs three turns for a damage change. Unless they have someway to speed this up you should outpace them.
>Mega
Stadium battle. You vs 4 shrine of memories if you take those out he can't heal.
>>26817922
Forgot about dimension valley though...
>can't connect to the client or the website
rest in peace pokemon
Should I drop $200 on an Ultra Ball, or should I spend it on about a dozen of pic related? I've been buying them individually for a few weeks now, and haven't pulled anything spectacular yet (just two Moltres EX from Storm), so I'm hoping there's some goodies in the remaining stock.
Is it worth it to potentially come out with multiple FAs and SRs? I'm guessing not, since these have been on the shelf for a few years, but I'm clearly a masochist.
>tfw go out of way to buy blisters with rare packs
>es nada
>need to buy cat litter closer to home
>literal impulse buy has FA Wailord
Boosters are suffering.
>>26818235
You'll end up with a stack of garbage EX's and one secret rare if you're lucky. Just buy the fucking Ultra Ball.
>>26818235
buy one of the blisters just for this nigga
>>26818291
I already have like 8 of that nigga. And then there's the coins.
The worst is the boring ass Pikachu coin from the RSK single pack blister. I shouldn't complain though, those things have a pull rate that approaches Generations-tier.
>>26818241
Y-Yeah, this is what I knew, but still don't want to accept. I should just buy the fucking card.
>>26818330
>>26818235
Oh fuck, I forgot that coin also comes with this blister. No wonder I have so many. Fuck this coin. Pic related is vastly fucking superior.
Cough
>>26813186
>implying Theme isn't the most fun format for PTCGO
>>26820659
I agree. Who doesn't like rolling a die alone in an unlit bedroom while masturbating, yelling out every time you get a six?
Darkrai Giratina shouldn't work but it so so does.
>>26820870
Haven't lost to it yet in 4 matches, but I haven't been playing decks prone to special energy locks/power locks.
>>26818357
Pic related IS vastly fucking superior
tfw you pull more full arts than holos and BREAKs
Have some code cards just because.
Salamence-EX – Dragon – HP180
Basic Pokemon
[R][C][C] Beast Fang: 10+ damage. This attack does 50 more damage for each Pokemon-EX your opponent has in play.
[R][W][C][C] Dragon Strike: 130 damage. This Pokemon can’t use Dragon Strike during your next turn.
When a Pokemon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
Weakness: Fairy (x2)
Resistance: None
Retreat: 2
Seems alright if the meta shifts back to EX heavy decks.
>>26821322
Eh. At least it uses [R] to synergize with Reshiram. Don't forget about the Mega that was announced a while ago:
[R][W][C][C] Savage Wing: 100+ damage. You may discard as many basic Fire Energy attached to this Pokemon as you like. For each Energy discarded in this way, this attack does 40 more damage.
got this from a random pack recently. who wants the code? best lewds gets it.
M Ray / Manaphy or M Ray / Jolteon / Zoroark?
>>26821466
lewder
I'm trying to get a Carbink BREAK. What should I offer for trading? How rare is it?
>>26821550
1 pack RS, or 2 packs FC.
>plasma freeze packs in tournaments
>>26821470
>Mew EX from Dragon Exalted will be back
>Mewtwo EX from Next Destinies won't
Bullshit

How's the quality of the figures that come in these tcg bundles?

>>26822479
So pretty terrible then?
>>26822479
>Not BannedinEU/10
>>26822521
If you are allergic to certain chemicals, yes
>>26822251
Mew anon here. My wallet and body are ready.
>>26822363
I know that they used to be sculpted by Kaiyodo, who did the Pokemon chess pieces and the gen 4 preorder figures. They're nice sculpts.
>>26818235
You get Ultra Balls from decks. Get some decks with Ultra Balls.
>>26822616
They're printing SR Ultra Balls in decks now?
Once again, I've updated this deck to handle the Legacy meta a little better. The best part about Garbodor is that it doesn't shut down Typhlosion so there are no down sides. Over all, the deck does well when facing most decks, especially VirGen, but still struggles with dark decks.
>>26822251
What are the chances that the figure will be replaced with a retarded giant card in EU like the other Generations stuff?
>>26822651
Just normal Hyper Balls.
How did I do?
>>26822363
Both M-mewtwo , primals and mega fug are awesome and well detailed. Idk about others but m-gyarados looked like shit
>>26824752
great senpai, Mew and DCE are good
I remember someone on here saying these decks were good, but what makes them so good?
>>26798860
I had the same issue, delete the cache from finder for ptcgo an reinstall the game (mb pro)
