I’m gonna miss my F cards :(

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.

Is there a way to check a credit requirements for a deck?

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

Mill? "Tyme"?

Is TYME worth putting in a "mill" type deck?

Is putting in one or two copies of Daisy's Help really that bad?

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.

Help with Lost Zone Pikachu ex.

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.

Reasoning behind not being able to play friends in expanded?

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?

Added the new Koraidon to my double Moon build & its been awesome. Super useful card for Ancient players. Double Moon feels so underrated!

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).

Russian Roulette Deck (let me gamble our match)

https://preview.redd.it/bmsoae10zx1e1.png?width=584&format=png&auto=webp&s=1aa535ba07215fb082e1b1164669018ac28b775c

Yes it's not a serious deck. Yes it's all over the place. Yes it's fun as hell.

  1. Get your Rotom and PokéStop up and going and rush through your deck (Pidgeot V is there to not let you mill).
  2. Get your Togepiss up and either a Weezing or a Mimikyu depending on the situation: you must stall or let them try their luck with the Weezing.
  3. Get your Dusknoirs up and, using counter catcher / boss, put some weakling on the active spot and kill it off + let Weezing die.
  4. Gamble everything.
  5. ????
  6. Profit.

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.

Is there a resource people use to search cards?

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).

There isn't a single thing in the world I hate more than this card.

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.)
