Dark Hammer is great, and I would also recommend. Two Sycamore and two Korrina will often give you what you need.

That said, if you just don't want this deck for some reason, Wave Slasher and Iron Tide are also good alternatives.
>>
>>25597439
Yeah, that seems to be the go-to theme deck outside of basic stuff. The Metagross one seems kind of fun too, just a lot less common.
Also I just saw the Noivern one for the first time and seemed ok, but reading the deck list it's pretty shitty if you don't get your Noivern asap.

I think I'll wait to see what bundle comes up tomorrow and then decide.

you are not a million miles away from a vileplume/vespiquen deck which is pretty viable still. Even moreso now revitalizer is a thing. You could probably get a playset(3) of Vileplume & prevos for 1-2 packs.

Fair warning, playing item lock can result in long fucking matches when opponents don't concede fast

>I have no fucking idea what I'm doing.
It's pretty obvious.
All the crossed out cards are either unusably shit or useless in this deck.
That Delphox is shit too, but you should only use it in an Expanded deck with Fandango Emboar.
That Entei is also shit but it's an acceptable tech.
You have twice as many energies as the upper cap for a deck should be. Decks rarely run more than 4-12 total energies.
>>
>>25598198
>Decks rarely run more than 4-12 total energies
Really? That seems REALLY low. Damn, I definitely need to learn, then. I'm using the starter decks as a reference.

Thanks for the help, though. I figured I'd keep the Entei or the Torkoal out while I get to Delphox and then use that to sweep, using the charm to keep it in as long as I could, and switching between it and Entei or the Charizard when I need to. It doesn't really work when I get raped before I can do anything, though.

Would Greninja BREAK use Mist Concealment when it evolved since it has all this cards abilities?

If so I can see it being useful to stall but not as good as a XY greninja. Might be good next set with Devo-Spray.
>>
>>25598312

Nope, Mist Concealment occurs when you evolve that particular Greninja on Frogadier or using a Rare Candy on Froakie, BREAK evolving over that Greninja doesn't really do much

honestly night march is kind of shit. if it doesn't overwhelm you early, it's probably losing.
Xerosic, Jirachi, Hex Maniac, Hammers, item lock, Aegislash-Ex, sweep damage, megaphone, many more cards
any of these in your deck and NM can crumble fast. It's good for scrubs on the ladder and broke noobs, but not much beyond that. But because it is so damn popular, you do need to have a plan in your deck for it like for anything big in the meta.

Since you play fire, maybe look at Pyroar related.
>>
>>25597983
Nice.
I got a full art Articuno and a full art Sylveon today, but I only bought one generations Charizard box, so I'm happy with a 2:1 ratio.

if you are interested in japanese cards buy from this guy while he still has some
https://youtu.be/tbeSP-oNhkc

>>
>>25598352
How in the world do I get particular cards? Just by trading boxes and shit and hoping that people have them?
>>
>>25598456
Search for the card and see if you can get an idea of what it's going for (most cards are like 1-3 packs tops).
Save your tradeable packs, and then make your own trade offer, a few packs for the cards you want.
>>
Hoping this Saturday I can buy out all the Charizard boxes and pull a Jolteon. At least I'll have enough packs stocked up to trade for a set online.
>>
>>25598572
If you're talking Target, you should be aware they generally put them out early, and will probably be gone by Saturday since the buy two, get one free sale has already went into effect.

I just told you that Target tends to put TCG product out early. I bought a Charizard box myself today from Target.

>>25598814
So have I. All Targets have them out now. They're advertising that they will have it on that day.

Like how some TRUs had their Celebi merch early but still had enough for the display on release day.

>>25598881
That doesn't mean they will have them on that day though or are even trying to.

I went to target today and they didn't have Charizard or Celebi boxes out yet...

Did you check just the up front section with cards and the section in toys?

I think what anon meant is that the judge thinks you have to use the same attack twice, that you can't change from one to the other.
>>
>>25599762
>>25599935
The judge thought that the first attack must KO the defending pokemon to be able to attack again.

Another classic is bench barrier Mr Mime. There's always a discussion if someone uses Trevenant Break's put 3 damage counters on all your opponents pokemon against it. It needs to be said somewhere that placing damage counters isn't necessarily the same as doing damage

So instead of pointlessly posting pretty art without the translation, how about posting some of the new cards that only just now got revealed?

[M][C] Gold Rain: Discard as many Metal Energy attached to this Pokemon as you like. For each Energy discard in this way, choose the same number of your opponent’s Pokemon (you may choose the same Pokemon twice). This attack does 30 damage to each of those Pokemon for each time you chose them. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance.)

Bronzong Break + PHF Bronzong seems like a neat deck. Snipe for 150 a turn if you have four Bronzong setting up.

This might be viable while FUF is still in Standard, depending on how viable Omastar ends up being. Being able to tutor them out from the deck and getting a free Lysandre every turn, on top of Strong Energy and Fighting Stadium should be enough.

190 damage off one energy after an elaborate setup on a fucking 90 HP Stage 2, amazing. There's also:

Duosion – Psychic – HP60

[P][C] Double Link: 10 damage. If there is a Solosis on your Bench, this attack does 30 more damage. If there is a Duosion on your Bench, this attack does 60 more damage.

I've never played this deck but my untrained eye says I would trade out one of those letter for an Energy Retrieval, that way you are covered early or late as with the Clemont/Fisherman for supporters.
Other than that, second Jolteon if you can get it. In place of a Pikachu. And a Xerosic is never a bad idea if you can fit it somewhere.

Having a 2-2-2 line and then 2 candy as well seems odd.

You have no tools here at all? No level ball for early Magnemite/ton? And no switch or rope or floatstones. Each of those is fine if there's good reason. Is there though?
>>
>>25604559
Ok, I've done the math, to buy one of each sleeve and a play set of Yveltal, it will cost 4,325 tokens.

It's not that good. It only affects Basic Pokemon and Basic Energy, so that's going to stop...crushing hammer? Grunts? Not really that impactful.

And don't forget we're getting a second Carbink too:

Carbink – Fighting – HP90?
Basic Pokemon

Ability: Safeguard
Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokemon by your opponent’s Pokemon-EX.

[F][C] Power Gem: 40 damage.

The card itself is no different from the regular XY Xerneas, however. This is not some Stardust Jirachi that had not come out before and has not come out since. If you want to be retarded to that point, then be my guest. Just don't pretend the card is actually worth all those packs.

Looking at the next set here are my predictions:

Tier 1:
M-Alakazam/Bats, YZG

Tier 2:
Night March, Zygarde/Carbink BREAK,M-Manectric, Entei

Tier 3:
Trevenant, Giratina, M-Sceptile

Playable tier:
M-Gardevoir, M-FUG, P-Groudon, Greninja BREAK, Mill

Maybe tier:
Delphox, Fossil, Regi Box, Bench Lucario

Anything I forgot?
>>
>>25609468
Raibats, Damage Swap, and Vespiquen were Tier 3 pre-BP. Giratina and M Sceptile absolutely were not, and none of the three packs since then hint at that changing.

Zygarde EX isn't as good as Lucario. Healing 30 is a joke compared to Shaymin on an attack. Power Memory isn't good or necessary.

M Alakazam absolutely won't be Tier 1.
>>
>>25609468
Shit forgot Raichu. I'd say tier 3 now since Zygarde is about.
>>
>>25609468
>>25609528
How playable do you think Bronzong break will be?
>>
>>25609828
Not very. Stage 2 that can't Candy, and it requires an unreasonable investment to actually KO anything, normally multiple turns.

At absolute best, decks that already run Bronzong can tech one in to fuck with Night March. Three energies to KO a Joltik and a Pumpkaboo at the same time isn't the worst.

The base Bronzong we're getting in XY10 in a joke.
>>
>>25609828
Not at all. It's mediocre and once PhF Bronzong rotates it'll be one of the worst Breaks.
>>
What are the conditions for advantage and stuff during versus? I found a guy using an almost blue theme deck and he had the advantage and I got like 40 tokens for the victory, later on, I thought against a sceptileEx/Bats with Shaymin-Ex, and I got a grand total of 1 token + 1 ticket from the roulette.
>>
>>25609468

>M-Alakazam being anywhere near tier 1 at all

If anything Yveltal-EX.dec is just going to be godmode again like it was back in XY
>>
>>25609468
Explain M-Sceptile? Why not just run the Sceptile-EX + Ariados deck?

Also, is Darkrai/Hypno worth looking at?
>>
>>25610091
>Also, is Darkrai/Hypno worth looking at?
Absolutely. I have no clue if it can be placed on the tier list, but it's definitely a viable rogue. The deck's basically just Yveltal except it can set up faster, heal itself, and leave your opponent asleep every turn.
>>
>>25607883
I rate it 1/32
Are you even trying?
>>
>>25610091
>Explain M-Sceptile?

old vid but you can imagine what the last few expansions added yourself. Revitilizer, hitting garchomp, greninja for weakness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4n8RmVZHow
>>
>>25610091
After thinking about it I think M-Sceptile should be in playable not tiered. I'm not sure about Darkrai shutting down Hypno's ability really kills the deck. I'd say maybe to playable.

>>25610049
Yveltai -will- be the number 1 deck as far as I can see. The main reason why I say M-Alakazam is up there is do to how hard it shits on Night March. (Why it's tier 2) I suspect that it will dominate then get teched against and drop.

Amended:

Tier 1:
M-Alakazam/Bats, YZG

Tier 2:
Night March, M-Manectric, Entei

Tier 3:
Trevenant, Raichu, Vespiqueen, Zygarde/Carbink BREAK

Playable tier:
M-Gardevoir, M-Fug, P-Groudon, Greninja BREAK, Mill, Giratina, Darkrai/Hypno, M-Sceptile/Airados

is the majestic xerneas bundle worth getting?
>>
>>25611660
A regular Xerneas is worth like 0.5 packs, maybe less.
So only get it if you want the sleeves/box, or if you really want to collect the otherwise unobtainable alternate art.
>>
>>25611679
Ah it's the same as the regular ones?

I already have 2 from that shit theme deck.
>>
>just getting into PTCG
>want to build Raichu/Bats
>all the good cards I pulled are untradeable

PTCGO is suffering
>>
>>25610886
First non-theme deck and you have already 2 shaymins?
>>
Lately I am seeing people playing themed decks in a very weird way. For example using lysandre to a full healed pokemon when they could kill the one in game, or using a superpotion when the pokemon has just 1 damage counter. Like when you are playing against the computer. Is there a bot for ptcgo, or is it just coincidence?
>>
>>25610886
that skyla art is so lewd
>>
>>25612866
The fact that I have never, ever had to wait longer than ten seconds to find a match, ever, has suggested this too.

It could be 3 AM on a weeknight and I still get magically paired instantly. I have no clue how or why this happens. This game can't be so stupidly popular as to allow this 24/7.

Just bought Pokemon cards again for the first time in about 12 years, bought 5 booster packs and got these, just wondering if they are worth anything?
>>
>>25613727
Card on the left is worth $7, card in the right is worth $13-15.
>>
>>25613727
Don't really expect to get value out of a pokemon booster, since they have the cheapest secondary market compared to mtg and ygo. But that MewtwoEx(Shatter Shot) not only is good, but the rarest version of it, you can see that he is a Secret Rare(check his set number, he is the 164th card in a set of 162).

Trevenant Break is also a decent break, in case you want to know, you can exchange both of them for multiple cute cards.
>>
Could anyone recommend some fast to setup (and fun) decks?
>>
>>25613742
>>25613794
Thanks, good to know. I'm not planning on selling any of them, just wanted to get back into collecting them for nostalgia and was curious about how rare they are

Why do people whine about NM so much?
>>
>>25614002
Tell me decks that can hit for 200 in turn 2.

Honestly, I don't really care, if they got a bad starting hand, or you got bench damage/item lock, they are screwed, but in most cases, I can't be arsed to wait 10 minutes for them to make up their fucking mind about what to compress.
>>
>>25614043
>200 on Turn 2
>Implying NM can REGULARLY get NINE mills and a Muscle Band every single game
This is why people complain. They imagine NM always getting a magical christmas wonderland hand where they open triple Compressor, DCE, and enough Teammates to make someone shitpost here about it.
Oh, and don't forget the team of MIT specialists that TPCi called in to program the client's superfuture RNG, guaranteed to give you a Shaymin/4 VS Seeker/2 Energy opening 100% of the time.

Daily reminder that even in its absolute prime, NM only had a 0.5% win rate difference between a deck it has type advantage over.
>>
>>25614087
But anon, I did mention that part. I just like my games to be fast - by the time your average NM user mills something, I can already be halfway thorough a 2nd game.

The card animation being slow doesn't help either.
>>
>>25614123
Never takes me more than 10 seconds to compress. I don't know why your opponents all have brain damage.
>>
How much should I be offering for a computer search? All I have is generations packs
>>
>>25614123
NM was actually pretty fast compared to standard EX battles. They take a couple minutes to setup their first or second turn, but after that they barely do anything in thier turns.

I just had a battle against a guy that was probably figuring out how Raibats works, because he was taking several minutes on each of his turns, he put Golbat on front and put his Raichu on back, probably trying to get time to get more bench, but his efforts were getting OHKO by MeowsticEX.

I wonder how many of these faggots do this even though they probably buy packs as a regular thing.

Yep. They're both untradeable, though. Got extremely lucky with my free pack pulls, it seems.

Im out of the meta but where durant or bunnelby stands there? I wanna make a cheap deck.
>>
>>25610886
Not to be a pain, but no feedback guys?
>>
>>25614906
It's ok, but here is what I recommend.
Drop Wobbbuffet, this isn't a deck that needs it and it will only hold you back.
Get 1, preferably 2, Exeggacute
Drop Audino, I used to have one, but in all the games I played I never had a chance to use it and Exeggacute is just better in every way.
Drop 2 ultra balls for 2 more level balls.
Ditch a Sycamore for teammates. Trust me, 3 is plenty.
A super rod can and will be a life saver for late game.
If you have a promo Jirachi, put it in there. Most of the time you'll just use it for compressor fuel,but for the games you'll need it, it will be the most valuable card in your deck.
>>
So, say I wanted to play Pokemon TCG. How do I go about that? I play MTG and I've played some of the Gameboy game.

My card shop doesn't really get Pokemon TCG fans and when it does, they seem like cliquey Asian teenagers.

Anyone here play MtG?
>>
>>25616456
start with tcg online
its free, you can learn, try with AI
theres always someone to play against
>>
So I'm new to TCG and I have a question. I look at deck profile and some are running Juniper and some are running Sycamore. Is there a difference?
>>
>>25616527
Well, it is hard to argue against free, but playing card games online just isn't as fun as in real life. I was hoping there was some simple way to introduce it to my friends and start a playgroup. Or meet people who play casual games of it.

I imagine most tournaments are either clearly for children or populated with the same kinds of tourneysnobs as MtG tourneys.
>>
>>25616456
I play Magic more than Pokemon generally. Pokemon is more fun on hyper casual games but the meta is pretty dull in my opinion. Similar to Magic, all of the unique and interesting cards are just offset by the sheer value of higher tier decks.
>>
>>25616602

>I imagine most tournaments are either clearly for children or populated with the same kinds of tourneysnobs as MtG tourneys.

Ironically competitive Pokemon TCG is pretty much mostly older teenagers and adults due to either MUH CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA or people that can't stomach YGO and MtG (well, some of them anyway)

>Implying kids can afford playing competitive Pokemon TCG without parents being committed to it
>>
>>25616397
how much are exeggcutes?
>>
>>25616668
I mean, that's what I meant with tourneysnobs, but I guess an MTG tourneysnob is a different beast than a Pokemon one.

Aren't most Pokemon tourneys held by like Toys R Us or schools? Maybe that's wrong.

>>25616662
Ugh. That sucks. Oh well. I'll still check it out. I just want to jank it up.
>>
>>25616772

Those were like back in the ancient days, actual Pokemon tournaments are a different beast from "casual Leagues" and stuff
>>
>>25616785
Ah, so it is just like MtG tourneys at card shops and convention centers?

R8 much deck

I mostly just combined the Darkrai Vs Mewtwo decks and added some cards of my own, namely the Gardevoir and another Zorua.
>>
>>25616854

Aside from the lack of scale and age division being a thing, basically yes
>>
>>25616879
Age division? Like, I can't get paired against a ten year old?

I wonder what the closet card shop is to me that does Pokemon tournaments. WOTC's has a locator. I wonder if pokemon's does. I don't think I've ever been to Pokemon official website.
>>
>>25616887

Well, Age Division has been a thing since the WotC days.

Junior: Age 6 - 10
Senior: Age 11 - 14
Master: Age 15+

That's a lot of horizontal cards featuring pink gold Pokemon.

I was thinking about that as well. What should I replace it with? Maybe two Inkay and a Malamar?

nice, only noteworthy pulls I got were Flareon EX (which I already had), Yveltal and Golem

>>25617904
MTG has been a bit grim, but there's a lot of fun stuff. And more importantly, the game is good. The fluff is by no means the reason most people play it.

I wonder if there are any people who play the
Pokemon TCG but hate the flavor. We have a lot of that.

Play a tournament with a shitty steel deck, do shitty the entire time and still get second place. Lose the final round because after 2 Shauna's and a Prof. Birch I can't get a single basic or EX.

Same, but instead I lost because of Trevenant Break/Shaymin.

So creative.
