>>28963020
Don't buy the theme decks from the in-game store. Just hold onto the coins for tournament entries and maybe roaring sky booster packs (Gotta stock up on those Shaymin ex.)

If you weren't around to unlock X and Y basic blue, hidden depths and crushing currents are the next best thing, I think.

>>28964182

You only get basic energies from a set that explicitly has basic energies
>>
>>28964182
>Or am I just retarded and misremembering?
Yes

Basic Energies are common cards. Most Special Energies are uncommon cards.
Only particular sets actually have energies in them, normally the first set in each generation, and then a half or special set later on. Energies have no higher or lower pull rate than any other common/uncommon.

Gen 1 packs had 11 card - 7 commons, 3 uncommons, and 1 rare or holo rare.

Starting with Gen 3, packs only came with 9 cards - 5 commons, 2 uncommons, 1 rare or higher, then 1 reverse holo of any card in the set.

Gen 4 incrased the count to 10, keeping the same ratios as Gen 3's sets but with one more uncommon.

Both the Fire and Water deck comes with two Oak which you'll want 2-4 of, but Fire also has Communication, Copycat, and Switch. which are occasional techs in certain decks.

I'm a legitimate novice at the TCG so please don't ass blast me for asking such a simple question, but I can't find the answer to it anywhere.

Scenario; Sceptile deck (not a competitive sceptile deck like im sure most of you would think of, just a deck revolving around treecko/grovyle/sceptile).

I have treecko on the field and grovyle in sceptile in my hand with forest of the giant plants on the field. Does it's ability allow me to evolve my treecko to a sceptile in one turn on the FIRST turn of the game?

It is a combo of Hypnotoxic Laser (Poison your opponent's Active Pokemon, and flips for Sleep) and Virbank City Gym (Put two more damage counters for Poison damage inbetween Turns), which basically means you put 3 damage counter on the Defending Pokemon without attacking. This also donks anyone who was unfortunate enough to have a lone 30HP Pokemon in the field

You might as well buy singles since full art cards are harder to pull and there are 9 full art cards in the set it shouldn't be overtly expensive as a single anyway since it is competitively useless and only good for MUH NOSTALGIA factors

>Can't even tell the difference between quirk and perk
Do you have any reading comprehension? Seriously, how dumb are you?

Dead hands in the exact same way often enough is100% related to the ratio of the cards in the deck. The person who built the original iteration you're copying probably didn't care about bricking whatever % of the time, where you obviously do. It is up to you to deal with the quirk in the same manner as the original designer or to tweak it to taste. I understand that just bitching about it is much easier, but you CAN fix it.

That's just because the cards have a weird holofoil effect that makes them look really washed out when photographed from certain angles. For example, the left is the true coloration of the card, the middle is what a normal photograph of the card looks like, and the right is the same card with a bit of light shining on it to reveal the real coloration.

They look way better in person.

And M-Gardevoir.

>>28975375
but why
>>
>>28975489
I would
+1 baby volcanion - you want to max your chances to start him
+1 ultra ball - again, maxing the chances to hit that early Hoopa combo
+1 Ranger - you autolose to a lone Jolteon right now
+3 switching items. you have none what.

-2 elixir - something has to give, and you already accelerate very quickly
-2 letter - are you ever stuck for energy really? you have 11 and tons of ways to draw into more
-1 Hoopa - decrease the chances of starting. 1 is plenty. If it's prized so be it.
-1 .. Ninja boy? trainers mail?
>>
>>28975489
Where are your Magma Camerupts?
>>
>>28975824
That is disgusting, why would he run those?

Because its what gives Flareon decks speed.

Discard energies and stuf them into flareon with Camerupt ability and Baby Volcanion attack.

Otherwise the deck is too slow.

Not really worth it.
If you want to play competitively, look up decks that have been winning, and go for the one that you like the most.
If you wanna just play for fun without spending much, with some also newbie friends, just buy some premade theme decks.
If you wanna play online, buy a pack of booster codes.

>>28981034
If you mean to use it as your theme deck in versus, you need to unlock all its cards first.
>>
>>28981008
So is this just bullshit?
https://youtu.be/v3ydIfJtorM
>>
>>28981104
I'm not going to watch a yt bait video. But most probably yes.

It's just common logic, if somehow the price of a premade deck was less than the sum of all its competitive cards, either those competitive cards would be cheaper because of this new cheaper source, or the premade deck would rise in price.
>>
>>28981178
both of those things have happened and I'm starting to think you don't really have a clue of how a new player should get into the game if your advice is just "look up winning decks."
>>
>>28981104
Nah, it's just taking current prices too optimistically and assuming you'd get the full value from the cards. Selling individually on ebay and tcgplayer comes with fees which won't give you the full value, price checking on TCGplayer means you'd have to sell at competitive prices rather than market prices. The fact that Keldeo and Rayquaza themselves aren't standard legal mean you can't even use them in most tournaments or against most casual players who are built to play standard.

You'd either have to invest more money to make them playable in standard, or sell the whole thing basically right as it released in order to get back your value on it, which leaves you without a playable deck, right where you started.

You can win with pretty much anything online

You don't necessarily need octillary or karen depending on your deck. At that point though, if you're literally only buying a 30 dollar product for 8 dollars worth of two singles(it's gone down to 4 dollars a copy since that video), you should be able to deduce the problem there.
>>
>>28981311

Never seen Mega Aggron's full-art card before. It looks amazing.

Obviously it's pretty bad competitively, but I might try and trade for one anyway.
>>
>>28981279
Online is a very casual environment. Mostly because people have to play with unoptimal decks to do daily achievements, and the fact that most people that seek a competitive tcg to play usually chooses either Mtg or Ygo.
>>
>>28981311
>mega scizor deals 120 for two with upside
>mega aggron deals 120 for 4 with a downside

Fuck balancing
>>
>>28981344
Keep in mind, if you're playing online it's against literal children, and for the meta right now, it has a decent matchup against Mewtwo and Gardevoir if you flip heads. You could theoretically top a locals with it.
>>
>>28981349
>chooses either Mtg or Ygo
Or play with actual cards in local tournaments, and not online.
>>
>>28981356
Aggron was built for a meta that had Bronzong in it for steel energy ramp and can 1-shot Mewtwo.

Scizor was built for a meta that doesn't have Bronzong.
>>
>>28981349
Eh, nevermind then. I'll stick to Yugioh.
>>
>>28981356
You're not wrong about balancing, but did you miss the part where M Aggron hits for 240?
It was printed in a format where cards like Bronzong, Victory Star, and Trick Coin were legal, too.
M Aggron is an example of an "okay" card that's more a victim of the meta than its own design.

and VS Seeker? And all the other stuff is nice for someone who is starting from scratch. Plus you get an online code. Holo energies are cool too. I think all things considered it's a great start it appears that maybe hubris is preventing you from seeing.

For all I know you don't even know what's in the decks. According to the video both Kaldeo and Rayquaza are standard legal too. This all kind of reminds me when the MTG people on /tg/ argued aggressively with posters that the new Liliana is garbage while she turned out being Standard's top card.

Holo energies are a pain in the ass for me because they bend. I only play with non holo energies. Also, if you really want nice energies, go after HGSS ones.

Online code means literally nothing if you are not playing online.

>it's a great start
Yeah, but you pay a price for it, and it is more than if you just bought the singles. If you wanna pay extra for shitty cards, it's your money.

>new Liliana
This logic doesn't apply here, Keldeo and Rayquaza are not new cards, they are reprints.
>>
>>28981595
Online code means plenty and it can be sold on ebay if I didn't even want it, bringing the price down slightly. And I would use it anyway. The price of the singles are more than the $30 for the pack, so I don't know what your point is.

>Also, if you really want nice energies, go after HGSS ones.
If you're playing physical, the Gen 3 energies look really amazing in foil too.

>>28981463
>Kaldeo and Rayquaza are standard legal
They're not. These aren't Standard-legal reprints, they're for Expanded players, collectors, and casuals.

>This all kind of reminds me when the MTG people on /tg/ argued aggressively with posters that the new Liliana is garbage while she turned out being Standard's top card.
Keldeo and Rayquaza aren't new cards, though. We've had ~5 years to see exactly how good they are. Keldeo is alright but is about to get outclassed in Expanded by Solgaleo GX. Rayquaza used to be an okay rogue deck but it's definitely not viable now. Both are pretty good in Legacy, but that's an online-only format.

Regardless of what format you wish to play, it's still always cheaper to just buy singles and work from there.
>>
>>28981655
>The price of the singles are more than the $30 for the pack
Not if you only count the actually competitive cards.

Imagine this: If all competitive cards from that pack summed was $50, since you could buy all of them for $30, no one would pay $50 for them. And considering they are not getting some stuff, they would only pay $20 at max for it, without to mention the whole problem of selling them, and taxes you have to pay for.

Either that, or it would happen like it did in Innistrad block in Mtg, where a intro deck had super good card in it, which was a $15 card in a $12 premade deck. What happened is that the decks disappeared from the shelves(some card stores didn't even sell them, they opened the decks and sold the card individually), and the ones that people could buy were being sold for $20.

TL;DR you will never be able to sell a $30 premade deck for more than $30, because anyone can simply pay $30 for it.

There's an active area right near my house at a comic book shop actually, I'm not sure how many people come but it's active enough for them to do it fairly often.

I actually own only own a few cards that I've bought due to keldeo and such recently so I have no real wish to go to tournaments but I might break out and actually buy some physical cards in the very near future for a mega scizor deck.

I live in Boston though which is a bigger city.

>>28981311
Pretty much this

I've been playing a lot with M-Steelix EX because it's enjoyable to me

Highlights include bopping a M-Mewtwo in one hit using their stadium to use Iron Tail and flip 3 heads. You could feel seething hatred from him. Also getting turn 2 Canyon Axe KO's is always funny for me.

Time to show /vp/ my current deck, I found the idea on reddit and i love it to hell and back, it's also budget friendly af.

If you couldn't guess from the picture, the idea of the deck is to consistently use Scizor's second attack and hit for 110 every turns. There is a ton of mobility in the deck between the Switches, Escape Ropes and Float Stones, allowing you to get started asap (hitting for 110 on turn 2 is pretty common, granting you some donk wins).

Some explanations I'll add:

- 11 Energies are needed to consistently hit the Elixirs. They're detrimential to your success.
- 2 Cobalion is pretty useful, as you start hitting for more than Scizor's attack as soon as you give away 3 prizes. Float Stone Cobalion + Mew allow for some Quick Guard stalling as well when needed.
- Giovanni's Schemes are often used to draw cards, but the extra 20 can come in handy in a lot of situations, namely OHKOing a baby Volcanion or 2KOing a Mega Scizor with Mew+Scizor EX. Can also reach 2KOs on 240 HPs like Groudon or MGyara.
- 3 Lysandre is really great here since your damage output is limited and you really need to pick your targets well. Also needed to get rid of Garbodors for Mew.
- PCL is rarely useful but can sometimes be clutch. Wouldn't mind some thoughts on a possible replacement. Same with Ranger.
- Mew is probably the MVP of this deck. Free retreat allows for a ton of playmaking with Escape Ropes/Switches and copying Cobalion's attacks is often very clutch late-game. You also hit in Mega Mewtwo's weakness for the OHKO (same with Hoopa).
- Maximise your Elixir as much as possible with smart uses of Ultra Balls, Trainer's Mail and Sycamore.

I've had great success with this deck, and I find it super fun to play. The only bad match-ups I've found to face are Volcanion (who would guess with a Metal deck) and Greninja (though I've donked a bunch of them when they start Froakie). I highly recommend it to you guys!
>>
>>28983124
Too inconsistent, it's a neat meme deck but that's about it.

You lose to item lock decks if they setup first turn (which they often do), you have trouble against megas, and you just have no real draw power to draw into scizors if you get fucked with no scizors due to no hoopas or shaymemes.

I won't say the current disruption energy scizor is the best deck ever but I definitely feel like it at least is fairly consistent.
>>
>>28983259
It seems inconsistent, but it really isn't, I've rarely had troubles setting up my strategy thanks to Sycamores and Giovanni's. Finding Scizors isn't much of a problem between the Ultra Balls and N/Sycamore/Giovanni. The deck even used to feature Pokemon Fan Club over a Giovanni, but I almost never needed it.

Regarding Megas, you OHKO every one of them who has a Steel or Psychic Weakness (Mewtwo, Gard, Alakazam, MemeDino). Against the other, you either 2KO or you just aim for the bench targets like Shaymin or Hoopa. Once you've killed 2 Shaymin or Shaymin/Hoopa, you just need to kill a regular EX (think pre-mega Scizor) with Cobalion late-game or 2KO their mega (Mega Scizor can't OHKO your Scizors so that's perfectly doable without too much stress).

I haven't faced much Item locks to draw conclusions on this match-up.
>>
>>28983124
FUCK OFF.

Most people here arent poorfag morons like you and can afford shaymemes to build proper decks.

Do go around reccommending this shit because you are a fucking poorfag, no one gives a shit about your non competitive joke of a deck.

You cant 1HKO mewtwo because you cant use mew because Mewtwo uses fucking Garbodor, you fucking moron.

you use Scizor's second attack after getting in the active and hit for 110*2 (weakness)

>>28983620
Mewtwo has a psychic weakness.

The idea of the meme deck is to get the 110 damage which is then double to 220 and thus a OHKO.

It relies on a lot of assumptions but it can happen?

Here you go, capsanon. I'm still pretty poor myself, but I can vouch for him.

M Scizor is still much better, but you have a few advantages with this build. Mainly, you don't have to flounder around with Spirit Links and a Stage 1, plus you have access to a non-EX attacker and Max Elixer consistency over Mega Turbo. This was much better before the Mew EX reprint, since now you can just tech one or two of those into M Scizor.

I use Zoroark over Escape Ropes and Switches, meaning I don't have to set up a second attacker for it to work, and it lets me use FFB.

In my experience, all shaymin does in standard is give me two prizes. Bet it will drop in prize once decks with it start losing due to it. Probably will stay fine in expanded, tho.

>>
>>28983990
Well, this is a deck to use online, where people rarely use the meta properly, if at all. What, are you approaching this like it's a deck for States?

And even ignoring that, "muh Garbodor" isn't a good argument. People were still running item-heavy decks like Night March and YZG last format despite three of the top four decks running item lock. And Trev/Toad had a much, much more oppressive impact than the 2-2 Garbodor you see in today's Hoopa-reliant decks.

It's not like Scizor is, by any means, an ability-reliant deck regardless of how many Mew or Zoroark you run.

>>28984161
They're not your main attackers, they just support it. What, do you not run Shaymin or Hoopa either? Do you think cards like Giratina aren't extremely viable right now? They all get shut down by Garbodor, too. The only card in that list that gets truly hit by Garbodor is the Mew.

Really, I'm trying to have a good discussion here about a casual budget deck and the involvement of Garbodor in today's meta, but your posts consist of spamming "poorfag", "retard", and single line zingers that are more tepid than scalding.

I have some SS packs I won on the ladder which are trade-locked. I know that if you have a mix of tradable and trade-locked packs, the locked ones will open first. Problem is that I also have offers up for cards in SS so I have tradable packs currently trade-locked.

Watsup friendo's, Looking for Mawile-EX and Mega Mawile EX, can anyone help me out? Or got some they dont want?

Also are battle compressors still big in online tcg?
Are they big enough to get some Mawile-EX cards?

Is the night march setup big enough to get some Mawile-EX cards?

>>28987130
They are box exclusives, so they have been pretty expensive.
>>
>>28987199
They're pretty low-value online.
>>
>>28987130
Mawile Ex and her respective mega aren't in high circulation online but they also aren't high value because the card itself isn't good. I don't know their card values but they're probably 2 or 1.5 packs each for every mawile/m-mawile.

Battle Compressor is only big in expanded, and they're only worth around .5 a pack each. Much lower than mega mawile, maybe 1:1 with her links.

No, unless you trade your whole night march deck for the mawile components.

I also take it you're talking purely online because you're asking us for trading.

Without these you're just going to get shit on by Garbomeme without a way to pull it off the bench.

>>28990714
Escape Rope + Lysandre is more versatile than Swtich + Lysandre if you have Float Stone in your team.

It does the same job as Swich but it also has room to make more plays with it by forcing your opponent to switch.
>>
>>28990760
You meme on them first.
>>
>>28990789

It can also prevent you from making plays by forcing them to switch.
>>
>>28990912
You can Lysandre them back if thats the case.

Escape Rope is objectively better than Switch EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

There is literally no reason to run Switch over Escape Rope in the current meta where you always run 2 Lysandre.

>>28991009

You can't always afford to use lysandre and not a draw supporter. Escape rope is not better than switch every single time.
>>
>>28990558

I can count m80lad. Not got a problem with the quints, it's the dubs that are rustling my Jimmies.
>>
>>28991094
Yes, it is.

The scenario where a Switch would be better than Escape Rope (You dont want your opponent to switch and cant use Lysandre) isnt enough to justify running it over the Escape Rope.
>>
>>28991180

>Switch isn't better than escape rope every single time. Except when it's better,

Why is this general so uncomfy?

>>28991216
You are missing the point completely.

The scenario where Switch is better than Escape Rope is too rare to justify using it over its counterpart.

Sure, Switch there MIGHT be a scenario where Switch is better than Escape Rope, but in most of your games Escape Rope will end up being more useful than Switch.

If you use Switch over Escape Rope you are a moron and probably suck at this game.

It used to be pretty comfy, it must be because of the time.

I've gotten really nice advice and help from people here now and again.

Can anyone give me a Hoopa-EX for my Xerneas BREAK? Or I can offer 3 packs.
>>
>not even using one of the alternate arts that Charizard got

At least I can autism max rarity Mewtwo.

>aggressive shitposting
>unwarranted ad hominem every post
>shitty opinions being asserted matter-of-factly
It's the sort of garbage that ruined their threads and it's happening here too.
>>
>>28993109

Is there a reason you're asking here? Why don't you try your luck with a public offer?
>>
>>28993213
I'm asking here because Public Trades don't do either-or offers, and it might be faster to reach an individual here.

I'm at least contributing more than people shitposting ad hominem attacks here.
>>
>>28993381

On the public trade, Id suggest going with the packs.

I'm not sure you'll get a Xern-Hoopa trade from somebody here as Hoopa-EX (any Scoundrel Ring variant) is more valuable than a Xerneas BREAK.
>>
>>28993454
It's barely more valuable, I know values. And Xern is only raising.
>>
>>28993630

Yeah, the promo Hoopa-EX is slightly more valuable. There's a bigger gap to the AO Hoopas.

Not so certain that Xerneas BREAK is rising in value, but it's not a card I monitor too closely so idk.
>>
>>28993204
That third thing is probably the worst about it.

I don't know what's just causing people to think they can't possibly be wrong about a children's card game, but it wasn't always like this. It used to be that everyone in the thread pretty much accepted it was the blind leading the blind.

I remember us having to discover how good VS Seeker was when phantom forces launched and now it's a 10-15 dollar card.
>>
>>28993705

>Having to discover VS Seeker is good

I'd think that most would realize how Godly the Compressor + VS Seeker combo is from the get go, and then Archie's/Maxie's happened and made it even more crazy

>10-15 dollar card

It has gone back down to sub-$10 levels (for now) with the Battle Arena Decks
>>
>>28993674
Sorry, but you're wrong. Promo is about equal, AO RA is a bit more, FA is almost double
>>
>>28993705
Some people got gud and some people still need to git gud.

The people that got gud point out the errors and shitty opinions of the people that need to git gud and the people that need to git gud get butthurt.
>>
>>28993747
Two card unsearchable item combos weren't all too commonly notable at Phantom Forces launch though, and lists up to that point played enough/too many supporters to not care about Vs Seeker because it would basically just give them extra supporters per turn when supporter usage was already tight having to use Trump Card to kill night march or Lysandre to get a KO in.
That really only got alleviated with Shaymin-EX. You couldn't draw for shit before that. And up until the trump card ban, Shaymin was like 10 bucks.
>>
>>28993829
Except the people who think they got gud are still wrong about a lot of things a lot of the time, despite acting like they know everything. Then they lead new players astray with bad advice that usually goes unchecked because for every 5 new players, there's 4 "mount stupid" players and like 1 good player who isn't on when we only have ~75 posters.
>>
>>28993815
>Sorry, but you're wrong. Promo is about equal.

>>28993204

^Read this post.

There is a solid pack's worth of difference between the two cards. Hoopa-EX easily sells for 4 packs. Xerneas BREAK struggles to go for more than 3.
>>
>>28993903
sounds like you need to git gud
>>
>>28993921
I literally just bought a hopoa-ex for one very easily.
>>
>>28993946
I already know that though. I'm not saying I'm one of the good players, I'm just calling out that the general is full of stupid players who aren't actually nearly as good as they think they are.
>>
>>28993979
How do you know they are not gud if you still need to git gud?
>>
>>28993959

That's impressive if you got it on a public trade.

Post a screenshot.

Because it takes one to know one, and if I'm a shitter who doesn't know what he's talking about, I can definitely figure out when I'm watching a shitter who doesn't know what he's talking about.

I wonder what the Charizard and Mewtwo promos will go for...

>Roaring Skies

That is not '1' pack Bob. RS = 2 normal packs. Still not a bad price though.

I was talking about selling though. You can pretty easily sell Hoopa-EX for 4 packs. You'll have a tougher time doing that with Xerneas BREAK.
>>
>>28994138
>>28994176

Didn't mean to call you Bob - that's your trade partner. You're Bob from now on though.

>>28994176
Nigga don't move the goalposts like that.
I'm not even in this conversation and I have to call you out on that because it was so blatant.
>>
>>28994253

Are you being serious?

>>28993921

>Hoopa-EX easily sells for 4 packs. Xerneas BREAK struggles to go for more than 3.

EXACT word 'sells'. It wasn't even that far up the conversation man...
>>
>>28994176
RS is 1.5 packs though
>>
>>28994253
PACKS DONT ALWAYS HAVE THE SAME VALUE FUCKING MORON

WHEN PEOPLE SAY X HAS AN Y PACKS VALUE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE LAST SET RELEASED

ITS SOMETHING BASIC, LEARN IT OR SHOVE YOUR MOUSE UP YOUR ASS

>>28994295
RS IS 1.5 FOR CHEAP CARDS AND 2 FOR EXPENSIVE CARDS, THE VALUE OF PACKS VARIES DEPENDING ON THE RARITY OF THE CARD YOU FUCKING RETARD
>>
>>28994313

Shouty anon, I appreciate you backing me up here, but people don't like to admit a mistake when you're aggressive about it.
>>
I've never played pokemon tcg but im going through my gfs old cards to see if anything would sell, and aside from a holo charizard i found a sneasel with its name spelt wrong, would this sell or are misprints common/nobody cares?
>>
>>28994313
>RS IS 1.5 FOR CHEAP CARDS AND 2 FOR EXPENSIVE CARDS
does anyone except for autists actually give a shit?
you always want to significantly underprice when buying and overprice when selling
>>
>>28994385
ARE YOU KIDDING ME FUCKING SHITTER?

LEARN THE VALUE OF THE FUCKING CARDS.

SHAYMIN EX = 23 RS = 46 SS = 1RS:2SS

HOOPA EX = 2 RS = 3 SS = 1.5RS=2SS
YOU FUCKING SUCK AT TRADING YOU FUCKING MORON

>>
>>28994585
Just gotta ask, after getting a set amount of cards what do you do with all the other packs?

Are you trying to get decks with only full arts?
>>
>>28994663
Yeah, got the FA Pokemon, FA and SR Trainers, CoL Energies and HGSS DCEs for my decks and opened the remaining packs I got, posted the scheme here when I was done with it since I got fed up with trading and wont do it ever again.
>>
>>28994286

Might have to adjust my trade ratios trading at this time of night. Being a Yuropoor trading during the day, trades where I profit usually take a couple of hours to go through.

Just had a trade at the exact same price I'd usually ask go through in <60 seconds. I guess Friday evening for the US is a good time to trade.
>>
>>28994368
Some people DO care, but it's not really easy to sell, and I personally don't know how much it'd be worth, if anything, since I don't care for it myself.

Try looking for sold listings of misprinted cards on ebay maybe? Even though I don't think it'll go for much since it isn't a rare card, not graded, not from a relevant set, etc

obviously, Shaymin would help too. When you can afford to add one, of course. Two would be better. Three would be too many.

I understand op, sorry to see ya leave, ya want something to be comfy but autists ruin it with their never ending conceited yapping
