So how many days do i have to wait for this?

>>31799475
cough up your good boy coins and unlock it immediately goyim, look at how much time you save!

>Rayquaza is even more ass broken now
>but i guess mew is somewhat useful now

why the rayquaza change

>>31799486
Because this is Mega Fug in disguise.
Also I've realized the new white is a shout out to Delta Episode.

>>31799482
How do i convert my coins to gems or is it impossible?

Are there any common mons worth saving cubes for or should i just feed them to shuppet or shelgon? I need the room and i have an ass load of c cubes

>>31799598
Shuppet and Shelgon are UC, not C. I was a dumbass and fed 12 C cubes to a Pachirisu to free up space, but now I'm hoarding C cubes again and I have nothing good enough to use them on. I don't think any C mons are good enough by themselves. I would either feed them to something fun that you use in room battles instead of league (Spinda's inconsistent but fun to use), or give them to something that evolves into an EX (Wartortle and Prinplup could benefit a lot from evolving, but I haven't tried that out). I've been using Geodude as a suicide lead, and with luck, I can evolve it into Graveller and then Golem.

Also, which if Natu's moves should I increase the size of? I tend to rely on teleport for some of my wins, but quick attack can be really useful sometimes. Would I be best investing in Future Sight?

I got "Unexpected error has occurred" when I won my first duel after updating, when returning from title screen I go back into the "WIN" screen of that game and it repeats, halp pls.

>>31799456
..So, is there a gacha and shit here too?

Can you get a SSR Ash-Greninja?

>>31799651
Ash-Greninja is not a thing yet, but regular Greninja is pretty good, too.

I think it's the only figure right now who has multi Gold Attack; everything else I've seen had multi White Attack. And that attack has secondary effect!

Who should I cut?

>>31799657
I have, it didn't fix anything.

>>31799666
>>31799641
Shelgon it is

>>31799666
Oh, I was thinking of Bagon for some reason, my bad. In that case, I would just give them all to Shelgon. Even if you regret it, you can get a bunch more C cubes really quickly, so you may as well just free up the space.

How would grassy terrain be implemented? Think it would add another star to your team's purple moves? All the other terrains have effects that would be easy to translate over.

Due to the ability perhaps?

>>31802732
Vibrava so far has been hellishly solid and throws people off greatly even if they read it, it's like a gabite and shuppet but it just blocks them from attacking.
I can't tell yet if it stops shupper from walking over it yet but I highly doubt it, but that's what trapinsh is there for to stop it from moving.

How about 2mp sand veil and a gold attack?

Fought and beat a 5 Deoxys 1 Ho-Oh meme team. That plate is really fucking good, it burns a turn but from then on being able to switch from anywhere as many times as you're attacked is crazy.

Deoxys Attack is definitely the best of the 3, bright powder every fight is crazy, even if you roll your awful 2* you can hope they roll a dodge. 130 attack with no downsides on the rest is pretty nice too.

I wasn't into them much but if you've got 4-5 Deoxys on your team it's gonna be hard to beat.

Forgot my picture. That was Mew's debut, did really well at telling Deoxys Attacks to fuck off. Haven't firmly decided if Glaceon is getting dropped or Shupper. Deoxys S is a good Shupp counter since it can immediately block the goal from the entry.

>>31805240
What attacks are you expanding on Mew? I packed one today but I'm not sure whether his blue or gold is better to level up.

>>31805288
Went with gold, his main job will be killing big purps and that immunity to 100+ is as good as a dodge in a lot of cases that I care about.

Looks like there's different types of boosters, and there's the material exchange thing. As mentioned in my post I just started this so I have no way of knowing what's the fastest way, let alone if there's other ways I might not know of.

>tfw have like 2500 material to exchange but won't ever touch it because I might just get those few wanted figures in the next booster or the next one to that
Hey look, my 5th Weedle!

>>31806471
Those two specifically?
Buy quads and material exchange for them.

Pokemon in general?
Buy quads.

what's a good fairy + round team?

xerneas, gardevoir, sylveonXn, wigglytuffXm, where n,m > 1

these are all 2MP pokemon though so it's easy to get surrounded or even blocked off when trying to protect your own goal (see the fairy team in one of today's Featured Duels). The lack of gold moves or any status problems besides sleep is also a problem.

What Pokemon would be better in this team? Are there any fairy types with gold moves? Should I replace someone with Shuppet?

Are fairy teams even worth it?

I'm running Xerneas, Gardevoir, SylveonX2, WigglytuffX2 right now in league matches rank ~2300 and I'm not doing well at all. My matches are /fun/ especially when messing with Wigglytuff or when dealing with Weavile teams but I'm not consistently winning. I like to think I'm okay at this game so I don't know if it's just me or the team I'm using.

So what do you think? Fairy teams - worthless gimmick or decent potential?

>>31809165
>risk free

Chop off your dick and lay it on the altar of RNGsus.

Anyone think that a Reuniculus deck might have meme potential? 120 damage hyper beam and conditional 50/100 damage potential makes it a competitive white attacker against exes. It has a 3 star purple confuse, and gets two free attack rerolls if you have 3.

Empeleon has a spot on a manaphy team for the entry point shennanigans. Surround killing a opponent who has capped an entry point is a good option to have.

I'm on home wifi and the internet is fine on everything else so I'm 99% sure it wasn't my fault. My opponent was a retard and had both dialga and palkia stuck on the bench with no pokemon or plates to bring them out. Would've been an easy win.

>>31811678

>>31813340
The expected value would be 20 + (20)(68/96)+ (20)(68/96)^2 + ... which can ve calculated using the sum of an infinite geometric series formula (see pic related).
Assuming you initially land on Pin Missile, you can say the initial term of the series is 20 (a1). The probability of getting Pin Missile again is 68/96 (r).

Oh wow, reuniclus is the most broken figure I've ever seen. With three on the team it's practically unbeatable, defensively it becomes impossible. The 50 becomes an almost free 100, the other white is a 120 hyper beam and it has a base 2 mp, on top of that a 3 star purple that causes confusion and the ridiculous ability that if you have three you get two free double chances each battle.

I even locked off his entry points most of the game to keep the deoxys off the board but no yellow can beat the whites and respinning can eventually get hyper beam or confuse ray.

Forget deoxys and cosmic power, reuniclus please nerf...

>>31815410
Mew is quite nice now actually

Hyper Sonic buff is especially good since it protects it against powerful white attackers which are all the rage now (deo-a, reuniclus swarm teams, round teams)

>>31815407
Evolution gives you +10 attack on white/yellow and +1 star on purple. Plus, there are some mons with additional evolution effects like Gyarados (which is a figure that can move 1 space, but if you evolve it from a Magikarp it allows Gyarados to move 2 spaces)

>>31815407
When Pokemon evolve, their attacks gain +10 damage, and their purple attacks gain an additional star. Also, pre-evolutions may be better in some aspects, while the evolved forms are much better after set-up.
A great example is Natu. Natu has 2 MP, while Xatu has 1MP. The main point of Natu/Xatu is to teleport onto the enemy goal or onto advantageous places (For example, so you can surround pokemon or cover a spawn point). However, with only 1MP, it would really difficult to do this with Xatu, so you can start with Natu to move across the board faster. Natu also has Future Sight, which can be really useful at times, and a gold move so you can get some lucky early kills. For some Pokemon, getting the additional star for purple moves can be really useful. A Magmortar would normally lose against a Lugia's Hurricane in terms of both damage and stars, but if it is evolved from Magmar, it can draw.

>>31815407

Also evolutions stack up if you evolve twice. So a raichu from a pikachu get +10 and +1star, but if you get pichu and evolve twice, raichu will have +20 and +2stars (if it had purple attack)

Its a bit of a risk, but given that any pokemon can knock out any other pokemon due to miss slices and such it can give you some very satisfying wins.

Still great, just has another 2mp threat to worry about avoiding. Latios isn't about fighting, the good attacks let it use that 3mp, and get positioning without being attack bait. Until your PC is full, losing Latios isn't as devastating as people seem to think, and I've been able to bait tons of people into going after/surrounding Lat while taking a winning position with another 3mp. I'm sure it's still an S, but worse now if you're using it as offense on a slow team.

Look, let me just tell you: Greninja is not for killing a high-damage attacker. It doesn't have the damage output to do so, and will just fold up and die. Greninja is for attacking things with large purple wedges, and maybe those Pokemon that have low-damage white attacks (i.e. <20). It is also for running around at high speed and avoiding attacks with a significantly sized Dodge wedge, although that's more of a bonus effect. With the new Mew update, it's not quiiiite utterly inferior to Mew because it has the potential to clutch out high-power attacks under the guide of RNGsus and doesn't hop back when it dodges, but it's pretty close.

I say fuse them now. That +1 for Water Shuriken has kept him from dying so many times for me. A lot of popular pokemon only have 40/60/etc. power moves and being able to beat them instead of tie can you win you the match sometimes.
