It's not going to be cancer. It's the chemo. Without it a number of decks might even struggle to 2 shot these fuckhuge GX pokemon. With it I think we'll see some non-GX decks compete.

>>31424099
Down the road, sure. But most GX's with ridiculous HP are stage 2's and still suffer from that lack of consistency and speed that have plagued the TCG since the beginning of the EX era. So besides stalling they can't really do much back without heavy resource investment.

It's a pretty neat set. Waiting on an Ancient Origins box now, just getting some boxes of sets I missed when I took a break, which was all of XY. >>31437090

>>31440534
I haven't been buying Evolutions all that much because there's only a few good cards, so...we got super lucky?

>>31440353
how so?
>>
>>31440534
I don't think it's a good idea to buy packs if you're trying to get a single card. Unless you're in the UK which, for some reason, means nobody sells single cards for non-shit prices.
>>
>>31440787
It's just as rare as the other non FA mega cards, but I just get super unlucky with the ones I actually want. Doesn't help that in every Evolutions opening I watch on YouTube they pull that god damn card.

>>31440819
I could, but it doesn't really feel earned then. As long as there are still a few cards I also kinda want from the set, I'm fine with buying packs.
>>
>>31440875
I know how you feel, there's more satisfaction in pulling a card you want than buying it, but sometimes it's worth just getting it out the way. If you still want a bunch from the set and have money to burn, who am I to tell you otherwise? Do whatever you enjoy my man.
That said, currently have 6 cards left to finish Generations, and it's gonna cost me about £80 to get them individually. Still might be worth taking the chance of pulling them given that's like 30 packs.
>>
>>31439002

For $40 should I pre-order my Sun Elite Trainer Box or get an EVO ETB or another/different ETB?

>>
>>31441312
The only cards worth pulling in PLF are the secret rares and Juniper, and I guarantee you the gold energy are going to hold value far, far longer than Garchomp and Garbodor. Also the Ultra Ball is going to be 50 packs minimum and will remain as such forever since it's just as hard to pull as PLF's.
>>
>>31441468
So instead of cards that have actual gameplay value, I should get trade-locked alternate versions of extremely common cards.

I'll say it again. You are fucking stupid.
>>
>>31441508
why bring trade-locked into it when you just blew your wad on trade-locked cards? Where like anon said,
>The only cards worth pulling in PLF are the secret rares and Juniper

None of those cards have any value and aren't viable in Expanded.

Again, you're wasting coins on a 1 in 648 chance when the next set will have secret rares with the same appreciation rate at half the rarity in addition to brand new standard legal cards that may become useful later on. I'd much rather pull a HR Solgaleo or Tauros than a FA Deoxys or Thundurus.

Flareon is, and the rest are viable in Legacy. You know, where the torunament payouts are much better.

>>31441965
Wow I have to trade 1 pack for a Weavile. I'm sure glad I used those coins rather than spending them on the overpriced new set which has better chances of giving me expensive shit.

Fucking retard.

>he seriously thinks Plasmabox is anywhere near decent
Laughable in Expanded, severely outclassed in Legacy. I could get the FAs of either of those EXs for a couple packs, this isn't true for the new set.

Is everyone on /vp/ a complete fucking retard?
>>
what the fuck is the "value worth" when they are all trade locked? jfc. If you are spending coins, may as well spend them on the set where you have zero cards so at least all the fodder is going to be useful too. Even if that's only so you don't have to trade for them. If they are cards you need for decks, well then trade for them instead of playing the lottery.

These boxes look like they're from prerelease kits. The boxes from those have always been a bit wonky, when added to the pull rates from all of the kit's boxes looks more normalized.

The real question is HOW they got the boxes, they can get into a lot of trouble if they are or were supplied by TOs.

>>31456442
>Should I bring sleeves for the prerelease tourney?

Yes, you should. I also recommend bringing your own Basic Energy since they can run out of some types on occasion.

Yes, but you play with 4 Prize cards instead of 6.

Sudowoodo – Fighting – HP100
Basic Pokemon

Ability: Blocking Path
When this Pokemon is in play, your opponent can only have 4 Pokemon on their Bench. If your opponent has 5 or more Benched Pokemon, they must discard Benched Pokémon until they have 4 Pokémon on their Bench. If there are other effects affecting the number of Benched Pokemon, the lower number effect takes priority.

[F][C] Rock Throw: 40 damage.

Weakness: Water (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 2

It's kind of crazy that you can have skyfield in play to increase you bench to 8 but leave your opponent with 4

Hello tcg gen, I am new to the game.

What booster codes are best to buy in bulk, to give me some trade fodder?
>>
>>31460043
It's a good thing we have our lord and savior Garbodor and our dearest prince Muk to save us from this nonsense.
>>
>>31462997
I think the general consensus of the value ranking of the current standard legal sets is something like:
-Roaring Skies
-Ancient Origins, BREAKThrough, BREAKpoint
-Steam Siege, Primal Clash
-Fates Collide
-Evolutions

Generations is slightly above AO/BT/BP since it has some useful cards and is only available in Mythical Pokémon Collection boxes IIRC.
Double Crisis is on about the same level as AO/BT/BP since it's also kinda rare, but it's a niche mini expansion that doesn't really have any useful cards for decks in general, outside of the two stadiums.

Evolutions is the most recent set, which might make it the easiest to get, but the pack value of it is pretty abysmal since it has basically no good cards. I mean, Double Colorless Energy, a card that has been in the game for five years, is like one of the best cards in it.

If you're patient, it might be a good idea to wait for Sun & Moon to get released, which is on February 3rd. It'll be the newest set, and seems to have a bunch of neat cards, as well as Full Art Secret Rare Ultra Ball, so its value will probably be at least about the same as AO/BT/BP.
>>
>>31462997

Roaring Skies is the best but is also the most expensive.

Steam Siege is a set that people are starting to warm up to and has a lot of value in it while being fairly inexpensive. It would likely be my choice. If you're willing to wait a couple weeks, S&M will be released and it will be the top currency for a bit. Expect to pay a premium for them, though.

Should I get Evolutions print DCE or Base Set DCE?
I can't find the Full Art DCE from the Base Set Expansion Pack anywhere, so I'm tempted to go toward the Evolutions, but Base Set I think is cooler because I know the card is almost 20 years old.
I also really like consistency and it bothers me that I can't get fairy/darkness/metal energy in base set, so that's also tempting to go for the Evolutions prints since they look the same. I can get a huge set with all base set energy plus 5 DCE real cheap right now as well.

Base Set Double Colorless Energy has the same name and effect as modern prints, and is stated to not be a basic energy, so it should be legal to use even now. I can't find any special ruling regarding it, so it ought to be fine.

Those are from Evolutions, which was just released, so they're perfectly fine and legal to use in all modern formats. I'm just saying that there are some modern cards that have the same name as old ones, but different effects, which means that the old ones aren't usable anymore despite the identical names. Base Set DCE is identical to modern era DCE in name, classification, and effect, so there shouldn't be any problems with using it.

These are new cards? They look "old". Was Evolutions a nostalgia set?

Yep, that was more or less the point of Evolutions. Base Set DCE looks like this. Evolutions DCE isn't an 100% exact replica, but it's quite similar.

Electrode seems to be a better way to accelerate energies and has a few more tricks up it's sleeve than the long attempts to get Magnezone out. A 2-2 line in instead of the 10 cards between the 3-2-3+candy frees up space for other things. Pic related has done very well for me.

They're usually 30 dollars and you get to keep everything you pull out of packs. Sometimes you can keep the energy they provide but not always. Any elite trainer box has everything you'd need.

Last Q, how many packs is that just for entering? And what kinda prizes for topping?
>>
>>31468251
They commonly have door prizes the TO brings, which ranges from mats, plushies, packs, etc. The prerelease kit comes with a promo, a mini pack full of staples and cards to make a deck out of (like Shauna, Tierno, balls, etc. and pokemon from the set including exclusive non holo versions of holos), and 4 packs. After the tourney you either will get 1 pack per win (3 rounds) plus a bonus or a flat bonus of 3 packs.

Wtf, why is that SR
>>
MtG player here, decided to try this out. Overall had a good time, but have some questions (in part because I played some thrown-together things and want to know how the real deal plays like):

- I had a feeling that this game can become too much of a landslide for the person who wins. Knockout my active Pokemon and you have an active Pokemon that is already set up against my benched Pokemon that I have to build up from scratch

- How relevant are weakness and resistence overall? I get the feeling that many decks may just randomly lose from being paired to the wrong opponent

- Are stage 2 Pokemon ever worth it? I'm finding that there are plenty of basics with enough HP to rival stage 2s and powerful enough attacks that the benefit of going through the hassle of evolving things isn't enough reward
>>
>>31474256
Weakness and resistance does have factor, stage 2 are worth it if they have a very good attack/ability, almost always a landslide/sweep if you can't set up quick

Also new new apk update http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/the-pokemon-company-international/pokemon-trading-card-game-online/pokemon-trading-card-game-online-2-42-1-release/pokemon-tcg-online-2-42-1-android-apk-download/
>>
>>31474256

There are certainly comeback mechanics in the game. For example, N is a card that has practically always been in the format since November of 2011. It is great for swinging the game.

Weakness and resistance and pretty important to consider when choosing the right deck. Yveltal saw a lot of popularity early on in this format. Since then, people have played Gardevoir, which resists Yveltal. Just recently Vespiquen/Zebstrika did very well at a regionals. With Zebstrika one shotting Yveltal because of weakness, Yveltal obviously did not do well. You can try to vary your attackers in a deck if poor matchups really depress you. Some decks, like Gardevoir, can't do a whole lot to diversify their weaknesses. In that case you just have to hope you don't face steel.

Stage 2s are sometimes worth it. They rarely attack, however. In the black and white era, stage 2s were mainly used for energy acceleration. In XY they haven't been used for much outside of Vileplume's item lock. The exception has been Greninja, which does more damage than the vast majority of EXs.
>>
>>31473014
>pokemon that suck in the video game are good in the card game

it hurts
>>
>>31474522
Certainly true for Pokemon like Joltik, Pumpkaboo, Vespiquen, Flareon, Seismitoad, etc.

But that Gumshoos GX is just as bad in the card game as it is in the video game
>>
With all of these new meme cards I feel like running a roulette deck with illima just for the fun of it
>>
>>31474648

Gumshoos might have a spot in a disruption deck or any deck that doesn't have any other GX attacker in mind, like Vespiquen.
>>
>>31474744
There's no point in dedicating deck space and risking two prizes for this garbage card. Knowing the hand contents isn't helpful and its attacks are woefully underpowered.
>>
>>31474795
>Knowing the hand contents isn't helpful

It certainly is.

>its attacks are woefully underpowered

150 for 1 isn't bad at all, and a ton of attackers in the current format require 3 energy.
>>
Back from prerelease, someone got the fucking golden ultra ball. Full arts and such seem to be way, way down. I didn't even get a holo.
>>
>>31474848
The problem with Gumshoos GX is that it's designed to be a late game card exclusively.

Its ability provides the most utility late in the game because when either player is within striking distance of their last prize(s), that one Lysandre or that one energy or that one Float Stone could cost you the game. Knowing they have a win con in their hand would definitely influence your decision-making. But earlier in the game, when draw Scyamore and Shaymins and N are letting your opponent burn through their deck and change up their hand contents turn to turn, there's not much utility there. I think at best you could see if their hand was god-tier or not and use that as a cue to N them. But they could draw into another god-tier hand anyway.

And its GX attack does a surprising amount of damage but still falls shy of an OHKO on EX's, GX's and FFB-ed big basics. Choice Band will help a lot in the future, but if you can't even whip it out (it's hardly a surprise since you have to drop Yungoos and wait a turn) and steal a free 2 prizes UNLESS the target is low health i.e. it's late in the game. Plus after that it's basically dead as an attacker because it's normal attack isn't worth the investment so you really have to win or be on the precipice of winning to justify that GX attack.

All that considered: late-game cards aren't that great. First, you don't want a late game - you want to win as early as possible. Second, you may lack the ability to get it out by late-game; you can't seem to grab it or bench it or maybe it's just been prized the whole time. Or maybe you had to discard it early and you don't play cards to recover it.

I think the only thing that's nice about it is that is generic and splashable. But I don't think it's good enough to splash into a GX-less deck when weighed against the fact that it's a stage 1 two-prize giver with only late-game potential.
>>
>>31473182
The price won't go down as there are significantly fewer of those prints out there than there will be the SM ultra balls.
>>
>>31475208
Sure but I'd rather buy the full art ub rather than a gold border one
>>
Going to a prerelease tomorrow. It's been so long that I've forgotten what the burned condition does.
>>
>>31476285
It's okay, because they took a break from it during XY (not a single XY card causes or interacts with Burn) and now for SM they've retroactively altered its mechanics.

Old: Flip a coin between turns. If tails, place two damage counters on the burned Pokémon. If heads, no damage.

New: Place two damage counters on the burned Pokémon between turns. Flip a coin between turns. If heads, the burned Pokémon is now healed from its burn. If tails, it remains burned.

It's now more consistent and reliable, since you're guaranteed to deal at least 20 damage even if it gets healed as soon as possible.

Did Sceptile rotate out?
>>
>>31479804

if these SRs are anything like Dialga EXs SR, it's going to be so fucking annoying to distinguish them when they're played
>>

Why would you expect to see Sceptile at day 2 of a tourney?
>>
>>31479804
Is this any good?
>>
>>31479900
I thought Mega Sceptile was a legit deck.
>>
>>31479804
Man foils are really fucking gaudy these days.
>>
>>31479926

could be

it's premier attack is night spear but cheaper, it has energy evolution for ezpz evos, and 2 other attacks for some utility not even counting some of the shenanigans being an eeveelution provides thanks to there being other eeveelutions
>>
>>31479804
This italic on the GX attack looks from a fake card lol.
>>
>>31479953
You can't get enough utility from Jagged Saber to justify building a deck out of it as long as Pokemon Center Lady and Vs Seeker are both things. To set up the deck you need four pokemon (two of which need special tools to come out without ending the turn) and reliable way of moving energy from the discard to your hand, and that's just a soft lock that can be fucked up by a single OHKO or a bad draw, and that's all the deck has going for it.
>>
>>31423924
>just find out pokemon doesn't use sideboards
How do they possibly justify this.
>>
>>31480260

How do other card games justify it? It's always seemed strange to me.

>yes, these are the cards that I can include just to fuck you in this particular matchup

>>31480286

>>
>>31480319
So then mainboard them you turdburglar
>>
>>31480441
>harming the efficiency of your deck in matchups which aren't an autoloss
This bullshit tradeoff is the reason why two thirds of the skill in pokemon is reading the metagame, when it should be one quarter of the skill at most.
>>
>>31480631
I don't think you realize how stupid sideboards would be when we have the kind of draw and search available in pokemon
>>
>>31480800
You're absolutely correct and should have led with that. I concede the argument.
>>
Are GX the saviors of pokemon?

>>31480873
No.

>>
>>31481161

man it's too bad aegislash-ex rotated out of standard this year because it looks like it could combo decently with this thing's ability and gx attack. both are even searchable with Heavy Ball, while solgaleo's earlier stages are Level Ball targets. expanded format deck maybe?
>>
>>31481698
I don't know about anyone else but I plan on at least testing a Solgaleo GX/Brongzong deck and seeing if it works in Expanded.

The mind boggles. I hope I'm REALLY lucky tomorrow and I pull one from my packs.

I haven't played in a few months. What are the current decks? Is night march finally burning in hell where it belongs? Are Shaymins still a staple?
>>
>>31482827
NM isnt standart anymore
Top decks are Yveltal/Garbodor and Volcanion, or were before SM1 that just released.
>>
>>31482827
>What are the current decks?

The decks that are doing okay in tournaments right now are...

>Yvetal/Garbodor
>M Mewtwo-EX/Garbodor
>M Gardevoir-EX STS
>Volcanion

And there are a few outliers like Greninja and Rainbow Road.

>Is night march finally burning in hell where it belongs?

Pretty much, it's been banished to Expanded as of September 2016.

>Are Shaymins still a staple?

Yep, although you can run Octillery BKT as an alternative in decks like Greninja. Roaring Skies also got a second print run, so the prices for Shaymins has been dropping slowly.

Can we seriously not get s/m booster boxes with amazon prime? I don't want to wait fucking 5 days to get it.
>>
>>31482918
>Can we seriously not get s/m booster boxes with amazon prime?

The one I'm seeing on Amazon is a pre-order that's sold and shipped by a third party, it seems that the product has to at least be housed at and shipped from an Amazon Fulfillment Center for Prime to apply.
>>
>>31483000
All other booster boxes have been prime-able before.

Will it become that way closer to release you think?
>>
>>31483014
>All other booster boxes have been prime-able before.

Were they Prime-eligible as pre-orders? I've only seen them become eligible after a set's release date.

>Will it become that way closer to release you think?

It'll probably become Prime-eligible after SM is released unless the sellers get their cases early and send 'em to said Fulfillment Centers.
>>
>>31480873
Yes, regice and anti ex mons are no more
>>
>>31482884

Same here, but with Machamp. I have over 100 codes lying around, but I think I rather sell them on ebay.

So what is SM1+? Is it just the second Sun and Moon set?

Whats a good android tablet that can play this game without fucking crashing, I bought some chink tablet with 1gb ram and android 5 and it crashes during a match

Is the "about 12 holo or better" cards per box rule also existant in Gen 4? Cause I want to buy a Supreme Victors booster box but the set has 34 normal rares, while e.g. Evolutions only has 9.
>>
>>31487061

That general rule of thumb (12 holos or better) is pretty consistent so far in regular sets, Legendary Treasures and Generations are the only exceptions
>>
>>31487094
Thanks.

Whats a good way to get energy cards? Just started playing tcg and a cousin of mine gave me a ex hydregion but i have no dark energy cards.
>>
>>31487804

Well, there are a few ways for you to get energy cards

- Your local gaming store, they should be cheap enough (mine usually have them for 10 cents a piece)
- Elite Trainer Box (5 copies for each type)
- Buy the appropriate theme decks, I wouldn't recommend them though since most theme decks are not worth the money you spend on

Dark/Tina EX deck is going to be useless with no Mega Pokemon around anymore.

M Mewtwo Y deck can hit hard easy and fast.
With these new cards coming out, I don't think they can handle M Mewtwo.

what's the average length of a game? I'm coming back to PTCGO, and the game feels so slow

it varies, once in real life, had a super shit hand and boom an ex card showed up and beat me in a turn or two. less than five mins :/

Neat, now let's hope for the best.

Nice, how many packs did you go through?
>>
>>31490549
Me and my wife went. Between the both of us we got a total of 17 packs. 7 each plus 3 bonus packs.

There's another pre-release in a few days we're going to go to. Hopefully we get the same results. No one at our pre-release got full art Lillie.

Just got back from the prerelease/league challenge. I didn't pull anything too crazy from the Sun & Moon packs, but my brother pulled the HR Lunala. They had a 3/$10 deal going on Roaring Skies, lucked out and pulled FA Winona. Went 2-2 in the prerelease tourney, not bad. 3-0-1 in League which was MUCH better than I expected, ended up 2nd overall because the other guy won more in the Sun & Moon tourney.

For my first event I'm definitely pleased with how it went, and I'm probably going to go to another prerelease this coming weekend.
