>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.

Evolutions is actually not as bad of a set as it's made out to be, it's just that none of the useful cards in it are rare, and the few rare cards that are useful are extremely niche (pull up dragonite for example)

having rare slots taken up by memecards like imakuni's doduo though is fucking obnoxious.

Grinding out my remaining trainer challenges, went into this matchup where their attack did 20 for each energy I had on my active.

Just hit done for a couple minutes to win, would have lost otherwise as it took me 20~ turns to draw some other then a Pokemon.

max elixir in a mega deck... wat?

why not run 4x crushing hammer if you're doing an energy denial strat, you currently have no way to play around someone setting up a back bench outside of lysander

would you be up for friendly vs? i'm actually curious to see how that list plays out
>>
>>31899385
Well I need 3 energy on M Mawile to be able to attack, the faster I can set up my Mawile the better. If one of them gets taken out early it's over really.

Crushing hammer will take up 4 item slots and I don't know what I would change as even running 10 energy sometimes runs close.

Also what else could I even do to stop someone from setting up bench outside of Lysandre or running big hitters early?

Keep in mind I don't have the highest of mmr so that runs to my favour.

But sure, would like to see this deck fall apart, add me Braaane

lapras-waterbox.jpg
303KB, 1186x585px
Kept working on this waterbox, pretty dang fun to play and very good when set up. Thinking of squeezing in another max potion for a free full heal because I can move energy around with Golduck.

Very flexible, have finished one Pokemon off with Palkia and put a benched EX into range for Lapras to finish off after moving energy onto it.

It sets up fairly quickly but I don't know what else I can do to prepare for Gard. I still do have a little leeway in terms of doing things without abilities just need to set up differently.

Articuno obviously there because I can do 70 with FFB and 90 with Kukui with only one heads so there is a chance to take 3 prizes with it.

Have also beat Lurantis so I feel like that deck is more of a meme deck than any good.
>>
>>31900167
Prepare for Garbodor* I mean
>>
>>31900167

>Have also beat Lurantis

Were they not using Vileplume or just bad? I don't see how you could beat Lurantis ever when Solar Blade OHKOs everything in your deck and nothing you do OHKOs them.

Also, has Lapras been fixed? I've been wanting to use it again but I don't feel like losing because of a bug.
>>
>>31900240
I had my energies set up quick, so I hit the Lurantis with Lapras GX to paralyse and finished it off with Palkia putting 30 damage onto their second. I finished it off next turn with Lapras + FFB and Kukui. They forfeit after that.

Also yea they were using Vileplume but didn't get to set it up turn 1.

>>31900167

FUCKING NORMIES
>>
>>31900274
The gentelman agreement.

AKA going into legacy versus and conceding every game you don't get the coin, and get a free win every time you do get the coinflip because everyone else is doing it.
>>
>>31900287
Oh shit i had no idea that was a thing. Is that even against terms of service though?
>>
If your getting into TCG standard, do you need to have cards specifically all bought from the newer sets? For example can you use an old VS seeker from an older set? Or will they not let use that?
>>
>>31900294
>Is that even against terms of service though?
Every terms for EVERYTHING requiring an account includes a clause where they get to ban you from your account for any damn reason they want.
>>
>>31900299
You can unless the card has a major text change like computer search.
>>
>>31900265
But the Golduck is the whole point? After one turbo from Palkia or a couple max elixir hitting I have enough energy to use any attack on any Pokemon.

For example as I said >>31900259 I had 3 energy on my Lapras before he had 3 on Lurantis, I hit it with the GX move. Next turn I moved my 4 energy onto Palkia and finished off the Lurantis then did 30 damage to his next Lurantis which didn't have enough energy for a Solar Blade. Moved energy back to my Lapras, used a Kukui for extra damage and finished that one off.

The Golduck also lets me take energy off a Pokemon, heal it with max potion and then move them back on. Also lets me keep my Articuno on bench without energy and bring it out when I want to finish. Can also retreat Pokemon to my bench to heal for a couple of turns while attacking with others.

Also seconding on what bug?
>>
>>31900294
Not really, terms of agreement pretty much tell you to not use external programs to cheat or redeem packs you don't really own, there's nothing really about "agree with other anonymous people online and exploit a loophole on your system caused by your own coding inexperience". But still, they can ban you without giving a reason and you can't do anything about it, but you CAN do something if they reveal they banned you for genting.

>>31900299
As long as the text is the EXACT same as the new card, it can be used. For example, you can use pokeball from the fucking jungle expansion set. Also energies.
>>
>>31900265
>>31900315

Blizzard Burn's "you can't attack next turn" effect doesn't go away when you bench Lapras. I was hoping it had been fixed with the Rotom Dex patch.

I don't play IRL, but the general advice is to avoid buying single boosters of Sun/Moon. There is a mapping trick that allows people to work out which boosters contain the rarer cards and leave the rest in the box.

If you buy from an open box, chances are that all the good boosters are gone.
>>
>>31900550

Because almost all of the Pokemon in it (everything except Bunnelby) are bad. The Pokemon also seem to have little synergy, with no real focused strategy of how to win.

The list of Trainers is also very suspect. It is either short of (or lacks entirely), most staple cards. It has cards such as Winona and Fairy Garden at x4 (Winona should be 1 max, and I don't even know why Fairy Garden is there at all). Birch and Shauna are also very mediocre cards.

Also, last but not least, you have 3 Bibarels and 0 Bidoofs.

Not counting some of the promo cards which have retardedly high tradable values (for example, the heliolisk you can get in the shop right now charts at fucking 130 packs just because of how rare tradable copies of it are). Jirachi is one of these cards and as such, it's really hard to judge the actual value. Value will also fluctuate wildly with these cards, if they come back in a bundle it's suddenly 2,400-3,200 tokens for a playset, which is literally nothing.

1. PLF SR Ultra Ball - 100 packs
2. Tropical Beach 2011 - 90 packs
3. Tropical Beach 2012 - 80 packs
4. FA N - 50 packs
5. SM SR Ultra Ball - 50 packs
6. SR Max Potion - 40 packs
7. Darkrai-EX FA (DEX) - 40 packs
8. Celebi-Prime - 40 packs
9. FA Shaymin-EX - 30 packs
10. Shaymin-EX - 25 packs

How much is are standard monster cards like grimer, pidgey, weedle worth?

What's an example of a valuable card?
>>
>>31905156
A valuable card? SR UB from Plasma Blast or SR UB from S&M. Full Art N is also extremely valuable.

Troll and Toad has common prices for physical cards.
>>
>>31905173
Okay thanks. I have a collection of cards from when I was a kid. This recent pack is my first since a pack I got as a kid when I was like 10 for my birthday. I'm 23 now by the way.

Would you recommend recommending collecting cards? Or is it a path I shouldn't go down? Is the pack I showed earlier >>31904986 the best deal? If not, what're the best packs to buy?
>>
>>31905156
Common cards range from $0.01 to like $0.50, uncommons are like $0.25 to $2.00 or so, non-EX rares are usually around $1-5 depending on the card, EX cards run from $2.00 to $50.00, but the vast majority are below $10.00 or so. Only Shaymin is in the $25+ range if you're not talking full art cards.

the most expensive cards are mostly bling cards, >>31903984 has pack value, RL value has FA N and PLF SR ultra tied for the most valuable standard cards at about $100 each.
>>
>>31905411
Are you wanting to play, or just collect? If you want to play, buying single cards is usually better. If you want to collect, I don't think it matters too much.
>>
>>31905451
More interested in collecting.
>>
>>31905464
Those or booster boxes are your best bet.
>>
what's worth more, shaymin fa or ub fa?
>>
>>31905566
ub fa is worth about 2 normal art shaymins.
>>
>>31905662
I see, I have 4 shay fa and I haven't played in months. I thought I could trade them for ubs
>>
>>31905693
still cheaper than plf ultras, those are worth a playset of shaymin each.
>>
>>31905753
I wouldn't get them if I had the packs to trade them, they are uglier
>>

CC heal all damage on everything has such a high ceiling. It's already slapped on a 250 HP card that's stalling with energy removal. The reward isn't even close to the effort 9/10 times, but Incineroar is in it's own special tier of bad unless you hit those coin flips :^) xD B-)

Just started playing pokemon tcg after my mtg playing friends moved into it.

I thought I'd aim for this deck:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJaCcouuhfw

Pokémon - 14

2 Leafeon-EX GEN 10
2 Sceptile-EX AOR 7
2 Spinarak AOR 5
2 Ariados AOR 6
2 Virizion AOR 12
2 Remoraid BKT 32
2 Octillery BKT 33

Trainer Cards - 34

2 Pokémon Fan Club FLF 106
1 Super Rod NVI 95
1 Town Map BKT 150
1 Xerosic PHF 110
3 Silent Lab PRC 140
4 Max Elixir BKP 102
3 Fighting Fury Belt BKP 99
3 Switch ROS 91
1 Pokémon Center Lady FLF 105
1 VS Seeker ROS 110
3 Crushing Hammer KSS 34
2 Psychic's Third Eye BKP 108
2 Lysandre FLF 104
1 Enhanced Hammer PHF 94
3 Professor Sycamore PHF 101
3 Level Ball NXD 89

Energy - 12

12 Grass Energy Energy 1

Total Cards - 60

Not really sure if it is good but it has leafeon in it. Please tell me if it is shit.

I have about $80 to drop so what should I do to get the cards in the list? Buy boosters and make trades for the singles?

Right now I'm just grinding through the trainer challenges.
>>
>>31908881

never post, look at, or copy that man ever again

thank you
>>
>>31908881
Leafeon is shit.
>>
for online, just buy cheap 40-50 cent packs from reliable sites. trade them for single cards. Any packs you get from the challenges save them for trades. Look at the FAQ and paste bin at the top of the thread. Also for trading save up those coins since it costs coins to trade except private.
>>
So why are people running Umbreon Gx instead of Mega Audino?

Audino has
>+20 hp
>deals more damage
>has mega turbo

is it because umbreon is
>a bit more consistent with energy evolution eevee
>Does not require a spirit link
>has a gx attack

Or maybe you guys are planning to use reverse valley + cband to boost damage by 40 so it's a 130 damage attack with 30 on the bench
>>
>>31908881
see
>>31903393
emphasis on the Shaymins, the VS Seekers, the Sycamores, the N's, and the Lysandres.
>>
>>31908957

Audino has no type advantage, can't utilize eeveelutions for additional type advantage, is slow as shit with it's spirit link especially when compared to energy evolution, and has less utility. The only reason people used Audino was for it's relevant splash damage. When it comes down to it, the difference between 30 and 50 is only relevant vs Vespiquen.

>>31909034

Not really.

Fates Collide is the worst or second worst set in standard at the moment. There isn't much you can hope to get out of one of those packs.

Are you this guy? >>31897801

Ty
>>
fuck i need break bronzong
>>
>>31908881
That list is old, Xerosic is no longer standard. It's also bad. Leafeon is a garbage card, Glaceon and Jolteon are the good eeveelution cards. Flareon and Espeon EX also have their uses, Umbreon/Espeon GX are both good, it's really just Leafeon EX and Vaporeon EX that are dogshit. If you want to play grass, Vespiquen, Lurantis, and Decidueye are the best decks, but Decidueye and Vespiquen are going to be gone after rotation so Lurantis is the best value pick.

Playing big EX basics with grass right now is pointless because it doesn't take advantage of grass's two main advantages as a type

1. Forest of Giant Plants, which lets you evolve as much as you want on the same turn
2. Revitalizer, which for one item card lets you take 2 pokemon out of discard. This works with EX cards but you don't want to trade prizes if you're playing EX attackers.

As far as dropping money goes, drop money on boosters then trade for singles, try to get them on ebay where they're cheap, watch out for 'mixed code' lots since they tend to be loaded with shit packs like evolutions and fates collide, read the pastebin for basic pack price ratios and try to get mostly high value packs.

If you have $80 to drop you can easily grab a pair of Shaymins online (in paper that $80 will buy you 2 shaymins and nothing else) as long as you buy pack codes intelligently and don't get stuck with a bunch of shit sets. Get SM, ROS and if you can find them, PLF codes. Trade ROS/PLF for the rare stuff and SM for the commons.

If you're willing to hold some of that value, May will be the best time to drop money on pack codes. the upcoming set is going to contain a key consistency card and as such will be very high value, and codes for a new set are super cheap in the first week of its release because of stores opening packs to build up their stocks of singles. The price on things like Shaymin plummets around new set time as well since people tend to store trade value in them.
>>
>>31909034
Both are memecore cards.
>>
>>31909049
It doesn't count as a deck for trainer challenges, neither does rallying cry. Just buy one of the SM or STS decks.

yes and you can trade it too.

Yes, you will get 1 booster of the set from which the code card came. This pack will be tradable (packs are currency in PTCGO).

>>31909237
its not like ive even opened that many packs of sun and moon, i just keep finding the fucking things
>>
>>31909240

The 3 boosters you will get are Primal Clash boosters. Primal Clash is not a particularly valuable set.

You are probably better off spending your tokens on Roaring Skies packs or Sun/Moon packs. You don't get the Ditto, but you have a chance at pulling some valuable cards.

Alright bros, I posted a raticate EVO BREAK list a few threads back and have slowly refined it into a killing machine, someone clued me in to slowking as the ultimate energy disruption partner for raticate. This is actually pretty similar to a list that was posted on pokebeach today so I'm not an absolute madman for thinking raticate was a good card.

Basically, your Jolteon is your main attacker, but can be swapped around with float stone raticates to remove key energies. Slowking can move energies off of key attackers and it's not uncommon for me to get both of them in one game which basically means their dogshit bench support is going to end up with 5 energy on it. Best thing is, you need energy switch or reset to get the energy off of them and very few decks run those cards, as opposed to putting the energy in discard where it can be recovered with retrieval/super rod/brock.

Between raticate, 4 hammers and funking, most evolution cards simply don't get the energy to be able to attack, and naturally basics can't do shit to Jolteon without ace trainer. Raticate cleans up in the late game when they've exhausted their special charges and have 3-4 special energy sitting in discard.
>>
>>31909240
PRC is a garbage set that you should not be buying boosters of if you can help it.

>>
>>31909230
>>31909237

It may not be good competitively, but I think that the regular art Lunala GX is the nicest looking GX card so far.

I don't play IRL, but it's one of the few cards I would consider buying just because it looks neat.
>>
>>31909463
>Birch
Only complete degenerates use that shit card rofl

>teammates
worth 3 packs, literally who cares. The only worthwhile cards in PRC are Gardevoir-EX and SR Switch. STS introduced a better looking (though very slightly worse until rotation gets rid of PRC) Gardevoir-EX and SM introduced a newer and much better looking SR switch.
>>
>tfw want a FA N so bad
>>
>>31909513
>>31909463

Newfag here again. What is the cheapest way to get the same deck online and irl? On troll and toad, the deck I have sitting in my cart costs about $160 in singles. Should I buy $100 of boosters at my store or is there something better. Just wondering because then I'd have this massive pile of unused cards.
>>
>>31910248
Im the guy who originally posted that. I bought my first pack in a long time from a buck store. It was a repackaged like 6 cards or something and when I looked it up online later, people agreed that valuable cards would be filtered out of those packs.

EB Games/GameStop sells cards. I'm sure you can order online. WalMart probably has them too.
>>
>>31911750
never try to build a deck from booster pulls, learn the laws of probabilty. The probability you get a playset of worthwhile cards from pulls is basically zero.

Don't open any packs that are tradeable. Treat packs just like you would IRL: don't fucking buy them and instead buy singles for shit you need.

You get enough trade-locked packs that you should be able to satisfy your pack-opening craving, but don't EVER open one that's not trade-locked, because that's literally burning money.

Please explain. I find that the interface on tcgo does a bad job at displaying you what you win and how what you win can be used.

Why the fuck, this is a flagship phone.

the game doesn't run native on any phone, tablet/pc only though you can use the apk on phones.

When you're in your collection looking at your packs, there's numbers underneath each pack showing you how many you have. The gray numbers with the lock next to them are how many trade-locked packs you have, and the other number is how many tradeable packs you have.

Feel free to open the trade-locked packs. They're useless otherwise and will just rot in your inventory forever. The tradeable ones, however, are used as community currency in this game. You trade packs for cards you want. This seems like it'd be inefficient until you realize that the odds that a specific card you'll pull in a pack is incredibly low, meaning it's much more worth it to trade 250 cards that are almost definitely worth jack shit for a single guaranteed card that you will use in almost literally every deck.

I get a post whenever I start up that collusion is against the ToS. TPCi threatens it will ban or permanently ban accounts for it but who knows if they'll actually go through with it.

I just play March in expanded anyway so games are almost just as fast.

>>31912114
You know forest is a reprint of a more powerful card right? Also volcanion is a big check.
>>
>>31912420
he's talking about the theme deck

but the incineroar one is actually better
>>
>>31912114
I forgot to mention the amount of draw from your deck cards, the amount of nest balls, and the amount of timer balls.
>>
>>31912114
I take it you've never opened with nothing but Surskits as your basics, I take it? That's an instant loss right there. The Trumbeak play is also really fucking weak because 4 coinflips on a stage 1 for 20 damage each.

Still, you obviously haven't opened with the Ultimate God of that deck: Spinda. Teeter Punch has literally been 6-0'ing the trainer challenges for me. I'll have a completely loaded and rarin' to go bench and just keep using Teeter Punch because the AI hasn't actually been able to kill Spinda yet.

Theme Decks are definitely fun, but they don't beat constructed play.

how the fuck do you actually beat people with this deck

>>31912552
>Play Wailord
>Tell the opponent to fuck off
>Night March means that they will always deck out well before you do because of copious milling and pitching on top of the typical search/draw power.

It's literally just "sit and wait:The Deck". I think a deck like that only really works in a meta where all of the top decks are burning through their deck like it's going outta style.
>>
>>31912552
Looks like it's anti meta.

The energy removal is to keep your opponent from attacking, Suicune is to lock out EX pokemon options and Wailord because it's too bulky to be one shotted, even in night march. If you had only one Marcher and the rest were in grave you can only do 220 or 230 with a fighting fury belt. So even if they tried to get some momentum in one turn before you removed their energy again, they literally cannot do enough damage.
>>
>>31912552
Wait for them to deck out. It just lost to toad because of absurd coinflips (on the winners side).
>>
>>31912634
but when people see this deck, why do they fucking deck out? Why do they draw? Just end turns without attacking. He literally can't hurt you at all.
>>
>>31912552
Just watched that the other day. Fucking hilarious.

You misread my post. I complained that the deck is overpowered. I actually managed using mental mighy to get down to one last prize card against a person using that deck and I just about won but she got lucky.
>>
>>31912673
You have to draw 1 card during the draw phase.

Sacred ash basically let's you win any game because you essentially have 5-10 more cards than your opponent by the time they inevitably deck out.

Not just Sacred Ash, it also has Trick Shovel to remove a card from the top of the opponent's deck and Shauna to allow the Wailord player to shuffle a big hand back into the deck.

substitute a TSG for TFG and this deck becomes super spicy. Just made some darkrai nerd ragequit after he had a 4 elixir turn countered by a 3 hammer then dark call turn.

It's super hilarious against decks that run DCE/DDE though because you can just snipe those cards off then sweep with a raticate.
>>
>>31914800
Yes but its almost always shit cards because its mostly getting uncommons and sometimes a rare or an EX

Im just a bit curious because i hear it injects a .dll into the program. Should i be cautious and only run the speed hack when im ingame, or is it ok to have it running when im on the client choosing opponents?

is there any reason to buy decks in the shop? I mean even just for grinding out wins online I can pretty easily curbstomp people with the water deck.
>>
>>31915508
other than playing theme with them you can buy some of them to get needed non tradeable cards like the meme frog deck
>>
>>31915508
You need one to complete the trainer challenges. Some of the decks have cards that you might want to use in a real deck and you can buy multiple copies of the decks to get them, for example instead of spending 4 packs for a playset of babyvolcs or greninja-sts you can spend 1000 tokens for the theme decks which contain them, which is a way better deal.

Generally speaking, if it means you don't need to expend a tradable pack, effectively spending 2.5 no-trade packs to get even one card you need is a better deal.
>>
>lapras barely 2 packs online
>3 on OPs links
Thought water box did good

>>31915920
It got one spot in top 32 at Anaheim. Decks like Houndoom Mill and Typhlosion BKT have gotten about as many placements in top 32 at previous events.

It's an okay deck, but it faces some serious problems. No good water type energy acceleration, requires 6 energy on the field to be fully effective, most variants can't do shit without at least 3 online, highly dependent on Manaphy's ability to operate at max efficacy so it gets shut down by garb, requires 3 energies on one pokemon which makes you very vulnerable to m-mewtwo and yveltal, and most importantly Lapras-GX is grass rather than steel weak which gives you very bad matchups against Vespiquen and Lurantis.

why the hell I can't trade all cards I want?! what is this shit?!
>>
>>31918543
I'm assuming you are new
You have been given cards for free
Trade locking free cards means people don't start 20 accounts, claim cards, then trade them to their "real" account
>>
>>31918623

oh great...this is the most amateur way of solving problems, like they couldn't just unlock this feature at level 20
>>
>>31918679
Youre implying its not worth to reach level 20 for free cards. Once you do that with multiple accounts its full infinite.
>>
>>31918543

Only cards/packs won from tournaments or redeemed from booster codes can be traded.

You can also get tradable packs from daily challenges from level 16 onward, but I'm assuming you're new and so that information is largely irrelevant.
>>
>>31918679
What, wait until you're at 20 to be allowed to trade?
It took me months and months to get to level 16
>>
>>31918715

did you ever tried to play this game until lv20?
>>
>>31918679
You could easily write a bot that grinds out the trainer challenges with evolution ones, it'd take awhile but if you had a few hundred accounts going you'd be able to farm an endless amount of packs.
>>
>>31918743

that's why it's fair, average person will quit until then
>>
>>31918849
But trading isn't unfair, its an inherent part of a Trading Card Game

The entire issue at the start was that guy wanting to trade all his cards
>>
>>31918911

but this is FAIR... cheaters will never reach lv20 just to trade all cards...
>>
>>31918955
I'm starting to feel like I'm being baited
>>
>>31918972

fuck you then, I'm right after all you can still create second account through vpn and trade with yourself normally
>>
>>31919018
ah, the private trade advocate is back
>>
>>31919035

because he's right? PTCGO is unable to tell if you have 2 accounts if you trick the software, this is unfair for all normal players who reached certain levels
>>
>>31919066
>PTCGO is unable to tell if you have 2 accounts if you trick the software
Cleverly they trade lock free cards to prevent this

>>31919098

are you 6y old? it's not the same...
>>
>>31919132

don't waste time on 4shit

facts;
-you can trade cards from boosters that's been redeemed or won in tournaments
-you can trade boosters from ^
-you can trick the software and trade with your second account

probably prize wheel booster drops are trade able too but I don't really remember that

Are you 100% sure of your total before winning the match?
