For a dude who was around for late 90s pokemon fun, CP6 is really amazing. I'll probably buy several booster boxes.

>>27841796
>TOTT: What do you think of the CP6 cards revealed so far?
Nothing until translations
But it looks like that Mewtwo has Evil Ball for a single DCE on a non-EX basic psychic-type Pokemon. And then it also presumably has fucking Barrier as well.
And don't forget this was printed for a format with CP4 (read: D Valley is legal).

So this is pretty fucking nuts so far. All the other cards look nuts too, before translations. They're going all fucking out.

So I was constructing a few prototype decks for post rotation meta and noticed there is no way to remove enemy tools now.

Is there anything to stop Garbodor decks from shitting all over the meta, like, at all?

>>27841796
Translation?

>>27841916
Waiting on Pokebeach, but it may be a while since there is about 15 cards to translate. The first attack is probably 20 + 20 for each energy on the opponent.

>>27841886
Welcome to what everyone realized a long time ago.
The only answer is Lysandre, or locking with Giratina or Shiftry SS.
There are also meme cards like Beedrill EX which might actually be good with the Mega?, Minccino FC as a tech, or Mr Mime PRC. People were willing to run something like Bunnelby to recycle special energies, so there's no reason why you can't run 1 or 2 of those to hit tools.

>>27841950
oh dude, I hope they keep this card style for the next set, I've always had a soft spot for the old style and this looks really fucking good.

>>27841950
>Loll Roll Spin

I'm curious what the Breaks will look like. The English set has 12 EXs so that's a good amount with the classic card design.

With Mewtwo at #49 and Mew at #51, there is either two Mewtwo or two Mew in the set.

>>27842069
Mewtwo Break

>>27842078
It's supposed to be Mega vs Break in the tcg. It's either a normal card or yet another Mewtwo-EX (Japan is already getting an X-Ball Mewtwo-EX reprint soon)

>>27841971
Thats bullshit. They didn't think this through at all.

I stopped playing around Breakthrough so I didn't have a good look at the post rotation meta at all. It looks like all ability based decks (except maybe Vileplume variants, provided they can set up fast enough) will be DOA. That leaves us with what, M-Rayquaza and M-Mewtwo? Kind of disappointing desu

>>27842182
>not wanting to spam straightforward pay2win decks based on high stat low ability cards
why are you even playing this game?

>>27842069
oh nice they're reprinting some promos, that's cool

OP image reminds me of the good old days of Mewtwo Mulligan.

>>27842529
Starmie might see some use if there's ever a Garbodor counter. It helps Volcanion-EX use its ability, lets M Sceptile spend energy retreating and healing every turn, and may even be used in Blastoise decks if Starmie Break ends up being good.

I never come into these threads but the mention of reprints caught my attention - do these sets ever get printed in English or are we only gonna be able to relive the nostalgia if we're in Moonland?

>>27842910
do you think I should post a photo with the qr code next time instead? might be easier for some, harder for others.

>delta species being added to Sun/Moon
>also totem pokemon, final forms with increased power vs a regular version of it with wacky abilities
When did you realize that totem pokemon are basically pokemon EX? When did you realize that gen 7 was the gen TCG became canon?

>>27842945
I guess? I assume there are people just lurking and instantly see and copy/paste the codes.

>>27842529
This Mewtwo is pretty crazy. On top of being a hard counter to psychic-weak Pokemon like M Mewtwo, Barrier has no downsides. Switch out with Zoroark, play your own Ranger, or just normally retreat + Switch and you have an invincible Pokemon that gets through Garbodor. The only counter is a Lysandre or Ranger.

Gyarados is shit, Rattata is going to be good in M Gardevoir but would be amazing if it wasn't restricted to active, and Starmie's only good for Volcanion or some meme deck.

M Slowbro is a joke.

I opened a Jolteon EX from the generations pack in the online game and it seems the offers are insane for it. What would you guys ballpark the actual value? I am seeing things like 18 booster packs or 10 ex + M ex and shit, IDK wtf i have here.

>>27843209
Is Shaymin the only goal of RS atm?

>>27843220

That offer looks like shit

>>27843290
Yes
Also M Rays, FA Wally, Hydreigon, and SR VS Seeker are other value cards

Hey guys, just bought my first deck (Dark Hammer), any tips for using it in Theme Versus/Tournaments? Like, what's the winning condition? What should I watch out for?

Between Break Through, Ancient Origins, and Primal Clash, which is the best for trade?

Hello TCG/O. I recently got a Pyro are break but don't have a pyroar or litleo to evolve it

Maybe if someone would be willing to trade or donate some (which would be even nicer) then I'll be on tomorrow

Screen name:Baguett0boi name is stupid, I know. Just that it's one of the only ones that I use now, and don't ask howhat I came up with it, long story

I'm hyped for this next set god damn.

You're not completely wrong. This is really the only worthwhile thing I've seen.

I'm halfway through. Think I'll stop here and trade them away.

Thinking of starting to collect these cards mostly just to have them, problem is i live in japan so heres a fee questions.
Can japanese cards play against english cards?
Are there online codes in japane packs and can i redeem them in the tcg us online website?
And finally are the artworks the same throught out the diferent regions?

>>27844037
1. Unsure with the new tournament format they're moving to
2. No.
3. For the most part yes, with the exception of Pokemon with text on the image like megas where in japan its in english
Also the holos are better in japan then anywhere else because they care about QC

>>27844187
Thanks bud, need a hobby that drains some of my money.

>>27843923

Save em till you have a deck worth half a damn. Then buy into tournaments with them. That's their only use.

>>27844888
Or he can enter theme tournaments with them.
If anything, once you have a handful of packs to get you started, you should be able to go infinite off trades.

Why is this gyarodos so shit compared to the aqua tail one?

>>27845212
This is the better Gyarados, though? Don't get me wrong, they're both S H I T, but Magma Base + 4x Magikarp off hand lets an Archie's AT Gyarados swing for 270 off a single DCE. It even has Theta Double so you can slap a pair of Muscle Bands or whatever other tool onto it.

Meanwhile the other Gyarados does a whopping 80 damage for three energies (wow!), and then a huge 90 for 4 whole energies on top of a great coinflip minigame! Truly a competitively viable card.

All the pokemon on the original announcement artwork have been confirmed for either an EX or a BREAK but Starmie. So money would be on a Starmie BREAK, more so since Jinx was a psychic type pokemon in base set.

Does anyone know what they're doing with poison type pokemon? Are they keeping them Grass like they where in base set or are they psychic now?

>>27843031
You can't Ranger/Zoroark your Mewtwo to use Barrier again. The card says if any pokemon used barrier on your last turn. There is no lingering effect for Ranger and a pokemon would still have used barrier if you switch with Zoroark.

It's said in the pasta it's smarter to trade packs for specific cards we want.
But how does a new player know what cards he wants?

I don't know what I'm talking about but I've heard that Wobb/Groudon might be a good cheap deck for the coming season since everyone will be playing EXs and it gives you an excuse to not run shaymin.

there are other trading threads that might offer better deals on specific cards, but top cut is reliable and easy to go to if you don't want to look through 4 different trading threads for a .5 pack difference

Does fairy still perform well? I took a break shortly after the XY release, and fairy decks seem really interesting, but I have a feeling that they aren't viable anymore.

So I am a little lost atm, been trying to ease myself back into the TCG for about 2 weeks now. The game is helping the process but I am a guy that always likes to look forward. So what is next? After SS, I have seen all this stuff about these re-prints of some sort from the original base set, which sounds cool, but is that actually what is next in line? I also have seen stuff about some M-Beedrill promo, will that just be boosters that are already out with the EX beedrill shit as promos, or is it a whole new expansion?

Is there always a card as down syndrome broken as shaymin in this game? Have there been similar levels of draw power at other times? Because this pay2consistently draw half the cards in your deck on your first turn is pretty bullshit.

log in with your tcg account to view the forum.
your deck is unfocused and inconsistent because you're running a bunch of 1-ofs. if you're winning I don't know how you're doing it, but I'm telling you it would be more reliable to have consistent lines rather than "let's hope my whiscash/gyarados/beartic(which is bad)/octillery isn't prized.
I understand you just don't HAVE consistent lines which is why most people play theme until they can create their first budget deck. My first budget deck was vespiquen/eeveelutions but I don't know what would be a good one that won't be rotated out in a month. I just started using Rainbow Force with galvantula/bisharp/ATgolurk and that's been working pretty well at a low cost. I think Garchomp is pretty cheap as well but a lot of its support is being rotated

>>27855734
we got them in generations, but they're shit compared to the ones from ex series

played a full set of holon water energy for my greninja deck, but sadly i have no options since I play rainbow road now.

Been focusing on building a Xerneas deck with the bonus damage for each type, possibly with Xerneas Break too. How well would this work with Eeveelutions that add an additional type to all your cards in play? I keep making decks only to realise what I thought would work, simply doesn't. Tried a Toxicroak deck that poisoned them until they were close to KO, forced a swap, and repeated until their entire bench was in pretty bad condition, alongside something to deal damage to benched so I could take a huge stack of prize cards, but it just didn't work out for me very well.

eeveelutions only apply to Stage 1's, and it only works for each DIFFERENT type, so having a bench full of fire-types doesn't help when flareon is adding the fire-type itself.
Look into different-typed pokemon that support Xerneas. Shaymin/Octillery for draw support, PrimalClash Ninetales for stadium lock, things like that.
If you run sky field you could add Circle Circuit raichu.
If you want to the most types with the least bench space, you could run SS Galvantula, SS Bisharp, and AT Golurk (Golurk loses dual-type if they play hex maniac). You could do VolcanionEX too because it's a basic but you're not getting anything from its ability and the other ones at least help a little bit (Golurk hits 120 for 4 colorless, Galvantula hits 2 bench for 30 with weakness for 1 colorless, Bisharp hits 90 for 1 colorless after a KO). You can't really use gardevoir or azumarill because they're part fairy-type and you will likely have another xerneas on your bench anyways.

>>27856805
idk, i usually get matched against nooby decks myself, might be cause i live in eu where everyone is a scrub, rarely do i meet serious decks

and i mostly focus on fat kyurem and regice since most nerds run shitty exes, plus articuno is clutching often as well, when i have him in the back and then shove him in front for the ex kill and take 3 prizes

>>27857090
Golurk is shit, it's pure Lysandre bait and you will never attack with it, especially since you will always be running at least one Mew for the psychic type, which conveniently also has free retreat.

I think if you have a good deck you get paired with decent players

>>27856151

Shaymin is nice for instant set up but octillery is my jam. The opponent only takes 1 prize card and it works every turn. Plus me and my opponent usually draw the same amount of cards each battle just he draws through his deck and gets set up faster.

>>27857514
Roaring Skies.

>>27857745
I got the first Octillery from a pack and bought the second very cheap. A little more than 3 USD.

It works great in my deck, Raikou / Magnezone / Kingdra EX.

At the very instant I saw the first two in BREAKthrough I tried them, and with Kingdra I can finally breath a little against Fighting-Type Decks. Rough Seas works wonders nullifying chip damage.

>>27857514
Plasma freeze

>>27848437
Jesus fucking christ, anon, ever think of getting some of those graded? Crazy collection you got there.

>>27858480
One of those guys is trolling.

...BUT WHICH ONE?!

>>27858534
This is /vp/, so I'm gonna bet both are.

>>27858563
Roaring skies is the good one, check the trades. they are worth between 2 and 3 Steam Siege packs

>>27858652
Plasma Freeze is worth 2-3 Roaring Skies.

>>27858534
>>27858563
Both are valuable. No one's trolling. Roaring Skies is more beneficial, though. Shaymin EX is much more common than the secret rare Ultra Ball in Plasma Freeze, but the Ultra ball is worth around 200$ if you do get it.

The things I do to get a decent reply from you guys.

>>27858824
Also, Plasma Freeze is on Expanded rotations, so you have to consider what format do you want to play unless you seriously only want the golden ultra ball

>>27858862
Standard.

>>27858896
Roaring Skies

>>27858862
>>27858923
>opening either of those packs
Just stockpile Plasma Freeze since they're always heavily in demand for anything rare. You could get a SR Ultra Ball for like 100 of them.

>>27858824
it looks like you just answered your question for no reason and got lucky someone replied to u?

>>27857090
I've been running it online with Galvantula, Bisharp, Volcanion, and Shaymin (2 of each of them) while I attack with 4 Xerneas.

I've had decent success with it. Volcanion isn't much of a problem with fairy garden or float stone. If anything I send it out to sponge weaker attacks when I can and it seems to work out in my favor. Personal preference I guess.

>>27855858

Give me a shaymin ex pls

How to run Rainbow Road properly:

4x Xerneas
2x Shaymin-EX
3- 4 Other Pokemon lines. At least one should be dual type and all should attack for colorless or have a useful ability.
Possible list: Zoroark, Zebstrika, Garbodor, Golurk, Volcrona, Galvantula, Volcanion-EX, Giratina-EX, Jirachi, Mew, Wobbuffet, Regirock AT. Sure there are some I'm forgetting. This will be dependent on the meta.
Never run a Xerneas BREAK.
Never run more then two stage 1 lines
Never run a stage 2

Trainers
Run a Max Elixir to set up or risk being out paced; as such, don't fall into the trap of playing rainbow energy.
Brigette is one of the best supporters early game but terrible mid to late. Volcanion-EX kind of makes it ok mid game.
Teammates is also one of the best supporters.
Delinquent is often better then running Sky Field. You can still hit numbers on 5 bench slots if you have two double types.


Here's my list for standard right now. I'm currently using Volcanion-EX over Jirachi I flip-flop on what I think is better. I'd say Golurk is the best double type right now in the meta right now. More so for the online meta.

>this mess
Golurk is shit because you never, ever power it up over Xerneas and Mew, and if you do, it's ineffective against anything not Mega Mewtwo, which Mew does far better and far cheaper, just an Elixir and a DCE. It will get Lysandred out to stall as Golett as well. You run no stadiums, so the mons you get down are a crapshoot and depend on Brigette or your opponent playing Sky Field, which is shitty since you can drop her entirely for Sky Field and just draw into everything on turn 1. Bisharp makes Druddigon obsolete and you don't need a DCE on him either to hit for 90, and it's rotating anyway. Vespiquen can be a backup attacker, or Galvantula can sit on the bench forever and just wait for them to bench two Shaymins. Teammates are never needed, Delinquent doesn't do anything useful for you other than get around your bizarre choice not to run a stadium, and you definitely need 2 super rods to account for the times you have to ultra ball away things like Bisharp, Zoroark or any other evo/basic you can't play, at least until Karen comes out. Ninja Boy also breaks the deck since it lets you elixir onto anything and turn it into Xerneas, or simply get out the Volcanion to replace a Shaymin if you haven't drawn it. I wish it wasn't broken since the day I got to use it it was amazing.

I love that card too. Powerful friends is the good shit. Too bad it's getting rotated.

I really like Zoroark. Stand in + float stone combo is the amazing.

>>27860748
>it's getting rotated
what
is there a list of sets I can look at
how long do I have until me deck dies

>>27860705
I personally prefer fairy garden over Sky Bench. That way you don't have to use Zoroark with Bisharp, and you can make the game a tougher time for Mega Ray who can't kill a Fighting Fury Belt Xerneas with 5 benched Pokemon.

Otherwise I like that list.

>>27860804
Sky Field is needed to get out the Shaymins and all the basics you need with certainty. It's really easy then to have just 5 mons out and swing for over 200.

>>27860933
>no more Bronzong

I'm sad about M-Manetric I never really got to play it because of NM. And with no reprint in sight its only okay in expanded.

Practically meaningless. The winrates have been always been bugged, not counting games for no apparent reason. It also counts bot matches for some reason.

Holy shit, fuck Night March. Just went up against one for the first time. Talk about horseshit. Dude got off two Battle Compressors on turn one.

Someone tell me that it's rotating in September, please?

Not him, but Golurk isn't there to attack, just like how you shouldn't be realistically attacking with Bisharp or Galvantula outside of a pinch. Although it's worth mentioning Galvantula can take four prizes over two turns against double Shaymin.

Don't forget Xerneas actually needs 6 types on the bench to take out non-belted EXs, and 7 to get over Belt or hit a Mega. Golurk just helps you get to that faster. Mew is definitely something I didn't even consider, though.

Just started a few days ago, is this deck any good?
