How to progress in PTCGO, tl;dr edition:
>complete all Trainer Challenges (Cheat Engine's speedhack strongly recommended to speed up AI games)
>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.
>Public trade is like the GTS, if you want proper results, put up your own offers.

What's a good theme deck to buy?

I've bought about 10 booster packs so far, and got M Aggron EX, Ho-Oh EX, M Fug EX, M Gallade EX, and M Mewtwo EX, so if a certain deck could work with one of those card, it'd be great.

If none of those cards work, how's the Xerneas fairy deck?

>>25995866
Theme decks are absolut trash m8.

>>
>>25995866
Getting 2 copies of the Xerneas fairy deck can let you construct a decent enough pure fairy deck with 4 Xerneas and 2 Aromatisse.
>>
>>25995940
>>25995942
>>25995945
Aren't they useful to get stuff like trainers, etc?

If singles is the way to go, what would be a good deck for Gallade? My fave pokemon and I was lucky enough to pull it.
>>
>>25995972

trainers are very easily obtained without spending 500 tokens on the 2-6 of them that are decent in a theme deck

gallade isn't very good but people use it with FF Forretress or bats

Thank god, everything before legendary treasures is stupid fucking expensive. Tournaments for every set can't come soon enough. In fact, there's almost no reason they don't have old packs in the store. All they need to do is keep them behind a filter or something to make sure new players know the cards can't be played in standard.

People can currently get tradable BW and HGSS packs from tournaments.
The value of a lot of old cards is in free fall.

$35 should have got you over 300 card codes .

>>26000874
He's not wrong. You can get card codes for as little as ten cents each when you buy in bulk.

Also, never ever buy tin or promo codes. They're overpriced and you can just trade for everything you need for a fraction of the cost in-game. Promos are never expensive online outside of some specific exceptions.

Latias blocks many commonly used Pokemon (Virizion, Genesect, Bouffalant, Darkrai, Keldeo, etc), Sigilyph blocks the remaining EXs, and the Drifblims work together for messing up Plasma Pokemon.

That's not really true.
Although Genesect does have an ability, the main use for Genesect G-Booster. The only time that a Genesect would attack without a G-Booster is when it is still setting up or can get a KO without it.
At the most Latias could stall for some time, but it would inevitably fall.

Im the guy who asked this earlier and made a dumb comment about Delphox, but I still don't fully understand why Shaymin is considered like the best card ever. I know its harder to set up but I'd take a octillery over shaymin any day. AZ wastes your supporter for the turn? How do you guyss play with Shaymin?

I know but most games I come across they only really manage to play the shaymin once. it seems to be good to draw a few cards without using a supporter I guess
>>
>>26001553
Two copies of shaymin are much less clunky than having to fit a 2-2 line of octillery or a 3-3 line of delphox into my deck. I get more deck space and a powerful ability. It's compression. The ability is easier to use but slightly less powerful than it's stage 1 and 2 counterparts. It's a fair trade off, it just so happens that running a couple shaymin to keep other deckslots open is worth more than the recurring effect of either delphox or octillery.

>>26001553
Shaymin is faster and more effective. With Shaymin, every Ultra Ball will let you refill your hand, no strings attached.

With Octillery, you have to play the Remoraid, wait a full turn, then pray you have Octillery in your hand. If you don't, you either wait or use even more resources to get it. Delphox is worse, since now you have to either wait two turns or hope for the Rare Candy, which you can't search without a supporter. That's a LOT of time and resources you're spending, and a huge amount of deckspace for what's ultimately a support option.

And while technically you'll EVENTUALLY get more mileage out of Octillery/Delphox, games rarely last that long (especially considering the time and resources you spend setting them up), or if they do, your opponent has drastically outpaced you since they weren't fumbling with some clunky evolution lines.

And most importantly, you can play multiple Shaymin in a single turn. Decks like Night March, Vespiquen/Vileplume, Seismitoad, and M Ray only function because their 3-4 Shaymin let them cycle through 30+ cards on their VERY FIRST turn.

When the servers are up, we can play a few games if you want so I can show you how much draw power Shaymin offers.

>>26001553
Shaymin is about the best thing ever because every deck you make generally wants to be as fast and consistent as humanly possible. You wanna see as many cards as possible every turn to find what you need/want

Take the Trevenant break list for example. Every. Single. Game. You wanna go first and lead with a Phantump, find a wally and give your opponent a big middle finger for the entire game. This means if you can get some discard and chain off 2 Shaymin EX's which draw you more cards which are probably trainers mail and bikes and shit help you find Wally pretty easily with average luck.

The deck would literally be gimped if you had to wait until you got an octillery set up or something

>>26002713
Nothing in Legacy is really cheap.
The big decks right now are ViriGen+Celebi, Darkrai/Sableye, Plasmabox, and Blastoise/Keldeo/Kyurem. If you're not running one of those decks, it doesn't matter. Just run whatever looks interesting or whatever's available to you.

How bad is Puzzles in Maxie's Yveltal in Expanded? I really want to play it for Regionals but since I only just started playing again recently I don't have older stuff like Jirachi/Laserbank (I'm planning on getting at least Jirachi somehow, but I don't want to have to track down shitty lasers and fucking virbank)

Hell no, most players are smart enough to know what's fake and what's legit.

>>26002713

Garchomp/Altaria is probably the best to build cost-wise.

But as >>26002888 mentioned, you'll still need a few expensive cards.

>>26003146

It wouldn't normally be, but it is now that I've spent $200 on other stuff just to even make a base skeleton of any deck. I'm not going over budget for five/six cards that I'll use once in one deck, and then who knows what the fate of Expanded will be afterwards.

I don't even know why this is suddenly the topic, I just wanted to confirm Puzzles are actually as bad in the deck as I've heard in Expanded. I didn't ask for your opinion piece on why my poor ass is not entitled to enjoy the game.

Get off your fucking high horse.
>>
>>26003504
Yes, Puzzle is ass in YZG so I imagine it's ass in Expanded Yveltal.

If you can't afford Lasers and Virbanks but don't want to play Meme March or Vespiquen there's also M Manectric, M Fug, and Keldeo/Blastoise.
>>
>>26003624
>Yes, Puzzle is ass in YZG
ummm that's no true so i don't think your reasoning is very sound
it is bad in expanded because acro is a much better throw away card anyway, and there's not much you'd want to pull out that you have to worry about running out of other than computer search anyway
i think laserbank-less yveltal is still viable, but yeah if you can borrow from someone or something it will help you out a LOT
>>
Is 2 VS Seeker for 1 RS fair?

It is true, space is too tight to dedicate four copies of Puzzle and you don't run Teammates to grab them anyway. There were no YZG lists that were shared publicly that ran it.

>>26004946
Pokemon uses a rotation so there's no relevant power creep.
If you mean product pushing like you see in YGO and Magic, then the opposite is true. The current meta's made up almost exclusively of cards from 2+ years ago.

Just play online now, you can grind for free or just spend $10 or $20 tops and get everything you need. Shit's super consumer-friendly.
>>
>>26004946
Noob here,
>wait for sun and moon?
No, you'll be waiting like 7 months.
>power creep
real power creep takes years from what I've seen.

The only other thing I should mention is they are rotating standard sets in september. personally I don't care cause I'm pretty casual, me and my friends already said we would probably keep our currently expanded decks afterward anyway.

Standard=Only allowed to use current gen sets
Expanded=Allowed to use current and last gen sets.
>>
>>26004946
Sets just get rotated out of the standard, so i would not worry
>>
>>26004946
power creep doesn't happen from set to set, but it has happened over the 20 years that pokemon has been out.
>>
>>26005021
Only in the numbers; everything's been scaled up to allow more precision when balancing.
The trainers have sure as hell gotten weaker, though. No Supporter clause so you could Oak and Bill 8 times a turn, trainers like Energy Removal being objectively better than Hammer, etc.

Yeah thanks, I'm going to rebuild my old buddy Gengar deck with whatever Gengar I can find.
Truth is that I assembled a deck with cards that survived 6 years, from Unseen Forces to Legends Maker, and managed to get 2 wins and 3 loses against a guy with recent cards. He only won when he draw his Fug ex and other poke ex which names I dont even remember and stomped me around like a sewer rat, however I won when my set up was fine and he did not get to spam trainers to put the ex's in play.
Old decks may not be dead yet.

What's funny is that a majority of the Base Set cards would still be viable today off their abilities alone. Only the numbers have changed, with shit like energy acceleration staying the same overall.

I mean, Deluge Blastoise is almost a 1:1 reprint of Rain Dance. We have cards like Garbodor or Archeops that are worse versions of Muk or Aerodactyl. I'm even sure that shit like Mewtwo stall or Moltres mill would still function today.

Since we're talking about blisters, how do you guys feel about blisters/booster packs that are not packaged by the pokemon company (or whoever they do their packaging through that prints their name on it)

Ever since I heard about people online and even costumers in stores weighing cards I've been kinda paranoid about all the packs I get possibly being weighed.

Only place locally that its not possible is the lgs that keeps all packs behind the counter but they can only get Furious Fists, Ancient Origins, Breakthough and Breakpoint anymore

>Weighing packs
I once bought 50 dollars worth of booster packs in a store and I didn't pull a single EX. A single one. Because people like you had weighed and taken all the good ones. I know this because a friend who worked there later told me they had a problem with people doing this.

Yes it could have just been bad luck. But come on. 50 dollars of packs.

And i'm surprised nobody else in here has gotten on you about doing this

After rearranging my search terms I managed to find that new info was released on it since I last searched. Good thing I don't care about the game because it's a shitty card.
>>
>>26006817
I know how you you feel.
If it isn't worth buying I'm just going to buy another Regirock theme deck since it has an exclusive holo Regirock that I could throw into my Yveltal deck.
>>
>>26006765
This is why you buy boxes and bundles since those are too difficult to weigh.
Or get BP since it apparently skewed over people who weighed packs.
>>
>>26006817
how

>>26006765
That's only like 12 packs nigga.
>>
>>26006922
He plays a lot and spends a little.
>>
>>26006765
That's why you buy 3 pack blisters or etb/Booster boxes. It's just safer.
>>
>>26006765
It's not like they can stop me from weighing the packs, I think it is actually illegal to not let someone weigh a product, whatever product it is, since there isn't any special rule for booster packs.

Also, if you are going to buy in bulk, buy booster boxes. I only buy triple packs myself when I buy on impulse.

?? gonna need a source on that 1 family
>>
>>26007084
I mean, a store can't stop you from checking the weight of a product. If the cookie packet says 100g, than they can't stop you from measuring to see if there is or not 100g of cookies.
Considering that this is also valid for stuff that doesn't have a weight written on it, like vegetables(even if you are paying per vegetable instead of kg) and most probably there isn't any special rule that says you can't measure booster packs, I think a store can't stop you from doing so.

Until you purchase it from the store, the product is still theirs that they payed for. So yeah, they can tell you not to weigh packs and kick your ass out of the store if they want to.

https://www.coursehero.com/file/p73cp1g/The-buyer-has-the-right-to-inspect-goods-that-are-tendered-delivered-or/
The law's mainly for shit like inspecting fruit and food before you buy it, etc. It's to stop shady merchants from selling you a low quality or defective product and not letting you see its condition until after you've paid, or to stop them for short-selling you when buying things by weight or quantity. Consumer rights and all that.

Weighing a pack can technically fall under this law, but it's a bit of a gray area. Not like it matters, since even if they don't let you do it, what are you going to do? Hire a lawyer and sue a retail chain over a minor violation of some obscure consumer-rights law?
>>
>>26007175
>Hire a lawyer and sue a retail chain over a minor violation of some obscure consumer-rights law?
It would actually be easy to do so, you can even make some bs up like saying that you bought a pack that came with cards missing, and that is why you measure them before buying. I have a friend who is a lawyer, and I have seen a lot of bs being succesful, especially if it is a consumer vs big corporation.

And given TPCi's terrible QA, I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet.

Glaceon EX.png
539KB, 852x564px
Let's pretend that the pictured Glaceon is the upcoming Glaceon EX, what do you guys think?

The strategy is to use either Glaceon EX or Regice to do 90 damage and prevent the opponent from attacking back, and on the next turn KO the opponent's pokemon by using Gyarados to deal an additional 130-150.
AZ and Cassius to use on Shaymin, or to prevent a death, max potions to prevent Manaphy from dying if it doesn't get OHKO'd off a Lysandre, and super rod to retrieve Manaphy

the real problem with Night March is that its always the first deck recommended to new players. Meaning there's tons of just plain shit and/or slow Night Marchers around.

How much are bundles usually? Is the milotic one the current bundle?
>>
>>26009497
depends what's in them. 400 - 1200 are as low - high as I can remember

and yes that's current, gonna change out soon. Tonight maybe?
>>
>>26009675
in a week, the 26th.
>>
>>26008428
Miltank, with a FFB, it has 140HP and hits for 90, 180 in 2 turns with only 1 energy, any energy.
>>
>>26010073
Not really underrated, it saw play in Regionals in the form of Vileplume/Regice/Miltank and a few people tech it in Greninja decks.

Is Chaos Tower going to be a staple in Expanded where everyone runs 3-4 of them in their deck?

is there going to be compensation for the shop maintenance?

Probably not, every good deck in expanded already requires a stadium.

Well, 12 packs later and this is what I have to show for it.
I got 2 or 3 Prime cards, but they didn't seem usable so no point in capping them.
Oh well, at least it was nice to hear the little ding that happens when I get a new card.

Hi! New player here. I've build my first standard deck (gallade/octillery) and I have question.

Why isn't this deck more popular?
It's one of the cheapest decks and so far I've beaten every deck even Night March.
What am I not seeing?
>>
>>26011796
you're at a shit elo with shit players
>>
>>26011796
If you're new you haven't faced a high elo Night Memer.
Gallade is shit, octillery is less than ideal, meta is meta for a reason
>>
>>26011796
PTCGO is a secondary client that targets children and autists as its primary demographic, then locks them behind a paywall that most of them can't figure out how to get around even with their parent's money.

You're bragging about punching a baby.
>>
>>26011796
It's worse than most other decks. It can't compete with things like yveltal, but can compete with night march because all your attackers are also nonex and you don't dead draw either so you can go 1 for 1 with them until they run out of attackers or dce whereas they don't have that sort of longevity.

>code redemption maintenance extended another day
what the fuck
>>
>>26011854
Thanks. It seems similar to garchomp deck. Why exactly is that deck better? Only cause of shaymin?
>>
>>26011886
WHAT.

Fuck me, I have about 25 codes to redeem and this is killing me, I want to know what I got.
>>
>>26011890
Garchomp is still pretty shit but its attacks are just inherently more useful.
>>
>>25995866
>What's a good theme deck to buy?

None. They're a waste of money.

>I've bought about 10 booster packs so far, and got M Aggron EX, Ho-Oh EX, M Fug EX, M Gallade EX, and M Mewtwo EX, so if a certain deck could work with one of those card, it'd be great.

M Manectric/Ho-oh is somewhat popular.
Also, 10 packs =/= a deck. You need singles.

>4 Sycamore
>4 Ultra Ball
>4 VS Seeker
>2 Lysandre
>4 DCE
>4 Muscle Band or Fighting Fury Belt

Those are staples that 90+ percent of decks run (besides DCE, but it's still the most used energy in the game).

>If none of those cards work, how's the Xerneas fairy deck?

Why ask the same question twice?
>>
>>26011890
The attacks are just better.
>>
>>26011915
So what deck that is cheap and not shit should I build next? Greninja? Or should I save packs for shaymin?
>>
>>26011962
Get shaymin, it's the gateway to all good decks.
>>
>>26011962
Greninja BREAK is probably the only good deck in the meta that can run Octillery over Shaymin EX. Even then Greninja BREAK decks are only really good against Night March so if you're running into other popular decks, especially item lock decks, you'll struggle.
>>
>>25995972
>Aren't they useful to get stuff like trainers, etc?

Hell no. Most come with junk, not staples - and certainly not a playset of staples.

If you think buying 2 theme decks will fix that problem (which it won't), why not just cut out the junk and spend that $35-40 on useful singles?
>>
>>25996280
Not the guy you're arguing with, but I do agree with him.

When *haven't* we received a set that Japan received?

Name one and I'll admit you could be right.
>>
>>26012024
Not him, but sometimes sets have cards omitted from them. Like how we didn't get a VS Seeker reprint in Breakpoint when they included the Togekiss vs Emboar set in it.

When the Premium Set comes over, maybe we'll be missing some cards.
>>
>>25996427
Yeah in these special packs with only 3 cards. Same pull rates as normal packs/boxes.
>>
>>26012024
Listen famalam, there's no point in saying "Yeah we're confirmed for getting it." It's not confirmed. It is likely, sure, which is why the FAQ says it's possible. But nothing is set in stone yet. It does no one any good to say otherwise because then they start asking when it'll come out, how cheap it'll be, etc.

>Anyway how does this look?
Bad.

Zapdos sucks.
You don't need DCE in a Magnezone deck.
M Ampharos sucks. Use Raikou and Pikachu EX.
Lucky Helmet sucks.
You need Float Stone (at least 2), Muscle Band (at least 3), and Shaymin (at least 2).
Birch sucks. I know he's in about 1/3 of decks, but that's 1/3 too many.
Wally serves no purpose.
You don't need 2 Teammates. That implies all you need to recover from 2 KOs is 4 cards. You need much more than that in a Stage 2 deck.
>>
>>26012038
Bad example. That's a Japaness starter deck. They always get top-tier starter decks. Plus, we got all the new cards. Not surprising we didn't get a reprint.
