I fully support rotation to keep the game feeling fresh, but I’m gonna miss so many of my favorite F marked cards. Since I’ve completed the reward track and hit Arceus a while back, I decided to have some fun playing my older decks.
Hisuian Arcanine V, Blastoise and Rotom will all be moved on next year, so this deck will be left with only a Pidgeot haha. I know it’s not exactly meta, and it’s definitely got its flaws, but when it works this deck is so much fun to play!
Attach a bravery charm to the Arcanine’s for 280HP to let them soak up damage, use pidgeot to search for Penny, move your energy to the next Arcanine, use Penny on the damaged one and simply put it back on your bench with full health.
When it works, it’s one of the most fun decks I’ve played.
Hello there, just started out a week ago or so. I've got quite a bit of credits on my hand but i don't know how to use them.
Is there a way to know the total cost in credits of a decklist? Even better if i can get the number of credits needed taking into account how many cards i already have
currently run this sorta deck. but also wanna run another deck with a different playing style than the current deck I'm running atm. any suggestions?
Hi guys, I'm new to pokemon tcg in general, and all i met in ranked mode is charizard ex with pidgeot ex so far, would like some recommendation deck that focus on countering charizard ex, please help, thanks.
Is TYME worth putting in a "mill" type deck?
I can't count the number of times where there was one crucial card that I needed right away that was stuck in my prize cards.
I was thinking that including a copy of Daisy's help could lessen the impact since you can memorize exactly what the prize cards are and which one to pick out first since you don't need to shuffle them.
I'm asking because I don't actually know if this benefit outweighs the cost of one card slot in a deck. In my mind it makes picking prizes a lot stronger since you know exactly what to get.
Hello chat I just want to confirm i need to use all my coins and keep only 5000 i have 17k and i will hate to spend them only for pokemon to be like oh nevermind everything gets converted to crystals
Just made this and played a few games with some success. But I was wondering if I should swap any cards for a quicker setup? My setup is always somewhat slow, though my rotten luck doesn't help. But usually once it gets going, it's very solid and can spit attacks constantly. Not really good at deckbuilding, only ever built like 4 in my life so lmk what you think.
I'm kinda avoiding spending any gems rn, I only have 600 and my pattle pass it as level 10, I have some cards from the brief time I played PTCGO (I think the cards carry over) and I've bought some code cards from ebay for some random S&V packs but idk what to do with my gems
Curious about this - will it ever be implemented? Why has it not been already?
You can play in expanded format, just…not against friends. Why is that?
Here’s my custom Double Moon build. It’s 7-0 at one of my locals & typically goes on some 8-10 fight win streaks on Live. new Koraidon has been bad ass, it OHKO very many popular 2 prizers in the meta such as Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex, Terapagos ex, Arceus V, Rotom V, Lumineon V, Fezandipiti ex, Iron Hands ex, Pecharunt ex, Iron Thorns ex, which is incredibly nifty as I don’t have to rely on Frenzy Gouging the 230hp ‘Mons!
Absolutely destroys any control deck!
Only thing I am considering is swapping 1 Vac for 1 Enhanced Hammer. Mist energy can be a pain in the ass. Other than that, really love this deck. Can easily burn thru 30 cards in 1 turn to get my set up exact goin 1st or second, altho, with how useful T1 is right now, I kinda love stealin turn1 just to get my setup even stronger (and sometimes being able to not need Squawk).
Does it look great
Yes it's not a serious deck. Yes it's all over the place. Yes it's fun as hell.
If the opponent gets down to one prize get a reversal energy and crisis punch on a Weezing/Dusknoir, put the shotgun on his face and shoot one last gamble.
For example, is there an in-game or out of game online feature that allows to search rule text? E.g., looking for something that increases fire damage or all damage (e.g., Zapdos for lightning).
just wondering if a card like that exists.
Seriously, the amount of times she ruined a perfectly good match for me is unbelievable. Every 2/3 games the opponent uses it. And it's also somehow never when I have a bad hand, it's always when I have the perfect strategy for the next turn. It's gotten to the point where I get shivers even when I see just a Lumineon.
I hate her. (PS I know it's the whole point of the card to disrupt your strategy, but it still makes me mad. I'm mad.)
i not even kidding ill play against the same deck 5 games in a row play against something diff then play against the same deck a couple more times xD
Ya title + Why here not now?
Using Chandelure, because I really to use random mechanics, but I realized this wont work in real life since they will just fail the Tyme ahahah anyways, It is fun, but is still weak to Hydreigon and Dragapult
