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.
>if you don't know what deck you want to build yet, see http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/forum/tcg-competitive-play.156/ or check out tournament results for a list of viable decks http://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/state-province-championships-2016/decks/week-four/

To see what your PTCGO stuff is worth, look on the PTCGO forums in the trading section. Top Cut & other big trading companies will typically overprice cards, expect to get lower

Doubtful. The least valuable Charizard is the one from Stormfront, and everyone thought that one was going to be worth something.

It's even less valuable than the theme deck non-foil Legendary Collection Charizard.
>>
>>27444401
>It's even less valuable than the theme deck non-foil Legendary Collection Charizard.
That's largely because everything from Legendary Collection is expensive as all fuck. That set didn't stay on shelves for very long.
>>
>>27444646
It's still less valuable than Base Set 2 Charizard, which is saying something because of how much people hated Base Set 2.

If you ever buy packs off of ebay, how many do you usually buy?
>>
>>27444972
You are better off buying a sealed box or packs from your local retailer.
ebay packs are usually from people that buy a box, weight the packs to pull the holo and ultra rares and then sell the packs that are left with bad pulls

each box has 36 packs and comes with 12 packs with holo/ultra rares.
its easy to weight them to figure out wich are those 12 packs and sell the remaining 24 packs with crap on them
>>
>>27445098
I'm not buying, I'm selling and I'm not going to weigh them.
>>
Steam Siege is the first set since Ancient Origins which has EXs that I can have fun using. May actually get a booster box for it. Anyone got info on pull rates for it yet? I just want to make the meme volcanion EX / torchic deck os badly

Whats the best way to sell card?
I pulled Volcanion EX and a FA version today, and I want to sell them since they probably won't be played.
>>
>>27452723
Start over
Are you trying to play Gyarados, Water Toolbox, what?
Decide what your goal is instead of just throwing in cards 'cause they're the same type
>>
>>27452723
Generally one-ofs in evolution lines are terrible ideas due to the prize system. What if Barboach gets prized? Both Whiscash would then become absolutely useless. And if you're in a situation where you have nothing usable in your hand, you draw your next card, and it ends up as Whiscash? You just lose.

Other than the Pokemon focus though, you have the right idea on trainer cards and energy levels. You might want to cut down a bit of the water depending on what your final Pokemon lineup ends up being. Excessive energies in your hand don't do much in most builds since you can only attach one energy per turn.

Basically you've got the skeleton down, just work on the meat a bit more. You want consistency. 2-4 of most of your Pokemon.
>>
>>27445154
Well, good luck. Your market for the most part won't trust you and thinks you did weigh them even if you didn't.
>>
I played this card game when the first edition was a thing and we had the gameboy games.

Which basic stuff I need to know to return to the game?

It's 4 copies of the same pokemon per deck? Can I use any number of legendaries on it?
>>
>>27454541
>Can I use any number of legendaries on it?
Legendary/mythical status is basically irrelevant. Some are great, some are worthless. There are no rules specific to them that don't apply to other cards.
>>
>>27454541
Just the basics?
>4 Sycamore, Ultra Ball, and VS Seeker
>You need to have some sort of gimmick in mind for the deck to work in any meta. (Examples being Greninja BREAK, Night March, Garchomp... etc.
>>
Is that card real?

Are dual types gonna be a thing again?
>>
>>27454588
>>27454624
I see, thanks for the info.

I only want to make a decent deck just to play with some irl friends. Maybe making the Sky Guardian structure deck better with more Fire Pokemons, Ho-Oh and removing the fairies, changing for electric mons.
>>
>>27454541

pick your poison, set a goal, and stomp everyone out
>>
>>27454695
Yes. There aren't very many in Steam Siege, but maybe it'll be expanded upon. Probably not though.
>>
>>27454716
>Maybe making the Sky Guardian structure deck better
In general theme decks are really bad against anything other than other theme decks. I would recommend against using them as a starting point. Please consult the first imgur link in the OP.
>>
Steam siege booster pls. Sucks how UK got shafted for the 3rd and us gets it on the 1st.

This is so irritating. I want Charmander, Charmeleon and Charizard but I've been looking through all the booster packs and decks purchasable and haven't seen them in anything, Are they just out of rotation or something or am i screwed?

I hate this new set
>>
>every fun post-rotation deck besides Ray and Dark/Dragons gets shut down by Garbodor

Guess I'll just play those.
>>
>>27455438
I think the only Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard in rotation right now are in the Generations boosters, which aren't available from the PTCGO store. You'll need to trade for older ones.

There are a bunch of active Charizard EX and M Charizard EX, though. Most are Generations or promos, but there are a few in Flashfire. Flashfire rotates out soon too though.

You know the extra coins you get through the flash games on the site is actually really nice.

ToTT: Only if you pull Professor Sycamore or any of the Volcanion EXs

>>27446552

>Holo holos and rares are organized by set, and # (Holos first, then non-holo rares) in binders
>Premium cards and Promos are in their own seperate "fancier" binders sorted by block, then set, and categories (Gen 1 to 3, DP + HGSS, BW, and XY respectively)
>Have own separate binders for Organized Play promos (ie POP set and Player Rewards when they were a thing)
>4 of each commons/uncommons are stored in boxes, anything extras that are deemed useful (Trainers and certain Pokemons) are kept in separate boxes sorted by block

I usually just keep one copy of the rare or above cards though unless they are competitively viable

Verdict on myself: I need to go to a goddamn mental institution
>>
>>27442699
Been out of the loop for a while. Does anyone know when is Steam Seige coming out in Yurop? Or is it the same date as Murica?
>>
Just made an account today and used the online codes I've been saving for years, are fossils viable?
>>
>>27459699
>fossils

no

with the fates collide expansion you could build a meme deck with omastar and aerodactyl but the deck is bait to special energy discards, has low hp and cannot one hit ko most pokemon

If you know there's nothing in your deck that could resolve your situation and take the game for you, just fucking concede instead of wasting everyone's time.

Will the FatesCollide still be the highest currency in the game after the SteamSiege release?

Fates Collide isn't even the highest currency in the game NOW m8.
>>
>>27460753
The game will eventually end after time runs out or any player who have no cards left to draw will lose or the first one who gets bored, i have them both Ex Mewtwo and regice in my team and believe me half of my winning points are after the other player concede

M Gallade/Gallade can one-shot Mewtwo or M Mewtwo thanks to Psychic weakness.
