/pdg/ - Pokemon Duel General

I'll never understand the autism behind making a new thread as soon it reaches bump limit when /vp/ is so fucking slow the other thread will last for another half day.

We're not even counting the threads so it's not even that kind of autism. Are you afraid of someone else making the thread instead of you or something?

How many Pokemon do you guys try to evolve on your team? My current team has about four (Natu, Magmar, Quilladin, Gothita/Gothorita) and it actually works decently provided they throw Shuppet/Mew at me for easy evolutions.
Also, posting two of my custom figures. Balance tips definitely needed.

REEEEE PLOT UPDATE WHEN

Is max energy supposed to increase when you beat hotel bosses? Because I started the game with 110 and when I beat them I see 100->110 but never increase or anything.

>>31973587
Nope. Just finished Elysium, still 110. You do get an energy refill, though.

had a really odd match once,
saw a groudon opposing me but forgot to take a screenshot, my friends don't believe me.

Has anyone had a similar experience or knows what the fuck is a groudon doing in PD?

>>31973638
Groudon was added in 1.1 way before we got Duel
It's just not been available in boosters for us yet

my man,
Been running with 2-3 shitty EXs in my team, it's been a real struggle.

Infernape, Chestnaught, Deoxys S.

I do have Palkia but it's shit

I also have a Rayquaza but it's shit too, 1MP is fucking useless and I can't waste a turn switching from deoxys - S assuming it even lasts

>>31973638
There are some figures that have been available only before international release; Groudon, Kyogre, Darkrai and Electivire if memory serves right.

>>31973638
Groundon (and Kyogre) are exclusive to being rewards during special cruise events

Said cruises are also AFAIK the only way to get R Pikachus

>Tfw the only fairies I have for the gym are three marills

Got a Mawile, so you basically never block with the blue and instead you basically have a 32% 70 attack?
Why do people care about this figure exactly?

Why do so many people run squirtle in masters?
Because it's a 3mp with a massive blue?

>>31974404
Yeah, very good for rushing to the entry point.
Aside for the fact you get one for free at the start of the game that will outclass most defensive mons you'll get.

Is it possible to get anything but orange boosters this event? I've gotten like 8 in a row, even the locked boosters are orange

>>31974493
All my locked boosters have been Orange but I've gotten a few Blues, Gold and a Rainbow from matches

>>31974493
Yeah, I keep getting goddamn rainbow boosters that tell me to quit this shit app and go outside.

Dissapointed that the only way to listen to more music is to climb leagues, and you can't easily switch these.

>>31974671
this game music is so amazing, i would love if they would make more.

>>31975212
I want more too. I hope they hurry up and release the rest of story mode so I can hear some final battle music or something.

>>31975274
You can already hear some more music.

I've heard this one during my streak of 10 in the Gym; probably also plays in the 2300+ league.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_cSkfBcTC4

If this is won't related to Jewel Tower, I'll be dissapointed.

Glad the music is pretty good in this game. I stopped playing pokemon shuffle purely because the music was unbearable, specifically after the megaevolution. Fuck I'm annoyed just remembering it

Epic Duel is the only that has not appeared in the campaign but it is used. In Gyms it appears for streak of 10, and well... It is the seventh duel theme, after three regular, two special and one training, so it probably also plays for Master League, considering we have seven leagues.

When they introduce more hotels and more music, we can probably expect more leagues.

>>31975500
Yeah, the megaevolution song gets really old really fast, that's why i always listen to a podcast or some other music while i'm playing, it makes it so much more enjoyable

This thread has been ridiculously slow today. Anyways, made another custom figure- doing Ambipom next.

>>31977993
If you actually have Gabite battle something, you are going to want to increase the move that causes damage.

>>31977993
probably sand attack, you want it to stop or surround or go inside the enemy space and rush.
so, say you're within reach of the opponent's goal, what you wanna do if you get attacked is either move to the other side and block an entry point or just fight and hope you get lucky and your gabite survives so you then can take the goal, even with 1 star, it will still beat any white attack.

do you even want this game? you're never going to catch up to US/Japan players. It's becoming pay to win. The metagame is broken (don't kid yourself you idiots, metagross doesn't fix anything). The game is glitchy. I'm only playing because I invested so much time already. If I knew about the game's problems before I started playing, I probably wouldn't have bothered with it.

>>31978995
thats my point, pretty much the whole thing is just around 2300 whenever I look at it

>>31979080
I like these; obviously powerful, but they wouldn't dominate shit. I do think 1MP might be more balanced, however, since there isn't much counterplay to three really strong fighters with powerful purples and high-damaging moves, especially if the opposition is playing offensively.

>>31979080
If they're going to do different damage then you need to give a different wheel size on each to balance them out. Also 100 with a potential 150, good chunk of purple and 2mp is too much I think

>>31978628
The boosters stay at the rank you were when you got them.

Pretty sick, I'd use Registeel on my team.

>>31979210
Yeah 1MP probably makes more sense. The meta is pretty hectic right with Deo/Reun right now, so it's difficult to balance viability and power.

>>31979226
I balanced their main moves based on strong their purple is. Regice has the best purple and the weakest attack, Registeel has the worst purple but it's balanced out by having a gold attack.

So, i got a match against a 2800 rank japanese guy and in the middle of the match i got kicked out of the game due to losing connection, even though my connection was perfectly fine, then i tried to go back as fast as i could which took about 30 seconds but the game was already over.
I had hear when the game first came out that some japanese players were using some sort of trick to kick out other players from the game, has someone heard about this?.

during the gym cups, around 75% of times I collected my rewards, the screen would freeze. I had to restart the app to see what I won. Not major but still annoying.

often the home screen/menu doesn't respond to taps immediately after opening the app

there are reports of people updating the game and losing all of their data. Yes, they should have set up transfer codes and backed them up but that's a fucking stupid system. It's not intuitive at all. This game needs a proper account system. It's 2017. Pokemon Trainer Club accounts. GMail login. Facebook login. ANYTHING.

Deoxys D: Counter*: * If the battle opponent's Attack is above 20, the opponent is knocked out. Attack with a 20 damage move. You get knocked out. Apparently 20 > 20

Shelgon: see above but conclude that 100 < 100

Get into a league match. Win. Your rank and monthly rank go down.

Get into a league match. Continuously connect. Wait five minutes. Restart app. "You are in a suspended match, do you want continue?" Click yes. Game tries to start match. Sit at black screen for five minutes. Restart app. You lost.

Opponent's Magikarp attacks you and loses. Opponent is presented with evolution prompt. Opponent does not click anything. Opponent keeps the game open for 20 minutes without making a move in hopes that you quit the game.

I can go on

>Opponent's Magikarp attacks you and loses. Opponent is presented with evolution prompt. Opponent does not click anything. Opponent keeps the game open for 20 minutes without making a move in hopes that you quit the game.

>there are reports of people updating the game and losing all of their data.
most likely that they didn't update correctly. reports like this are often intertwined with fabrications to make it seem like the person wasnt being an idiot by deleting their game and re-installing it.
but yes, it should have a proper account system ideally

>deoxys and shelgon
those are translation errors, but it should have been fixed by now

>Get into a league match. Win. Your rank and monthly rank go down.
out of 273 league games I've never had that happen

>Get into a league match. Continuously connect. Wait five minutes. Restart app.

>>31979415
>I believe something similar happened with Aggron but that may have been patched.

ok I need you to immediately expand on this because there was a retard on here going on about aggron being bugged that just had no idea what he was talking about and the fault was completely on his end

>>31979366
Here, it was something like player deactivating something that caused the opponent to get an error. i don't remember what it was though.

>it's a "guy has scary A-Deoxys, threatening S-Deoxys and 'invincible' D-Deoxys but you block his entry points and completely overpower him with a fucking Magikarp and he disconnects as any next move will have him lose the game" episode

Explain your strategy to me please because I'm tired of deoxys teams.

>>31979877
He already said it, you just need to get some magikarps and rush him, he can't counter magikarp, in fact no one can.

Is Hydreigon + some Zweilous/Deino any good? Band attack gives them +10 per Z/D. The dragon gym is coming up and they'll all get buffed to 2/3 MP.

Hydreigon would be the main attacker and 48 of its wheel would be white 100/110 which seems okay. Zweilous/Deino are still weak.

Is it worth using these guys? I've been saving my hydreigon figures but I'm ready to use them as fodder if they're worthless

>>31980001

tfw just need 2 more sylveons

>>31979877
My team was Magikarp, Glaceon, Moltres, Magmortar and the 2 Latis (these didn't actually help, just got killed by Attack Deoxys but my original hope was trying to Fly with Latias over that Deoxys and land on an entry point). His was the 3 Deoxys, Zapdos, Rayquaza and Shuppet.
After killing Shuppet I put Latios on one entry point and as soon as he retreated his Deoxys to guard I put Glaceon on the other. Next was putting figures close enough to each of his entry point in case the ones already there got killed. Glaceon died and he managed to get Zapdos and Rayquaza out. After a few turns the field looked like this: the Latis gone, Glaceon dead, Moltres on one entry point, Magmortar on the other, and Magikarp on my half of the field, with A-Deoxys, S-Deoxys and Zapdos guarding his goal. It's worth noting I really lucked out on a fight where he made his Rayquaza fight my Moltres and he missed so I killed it and took that entry point back. After some back and forth he decided to face Moltres with Zapdos and my 110 beat his 100, so the only other thing I had to do was to approach his D-Deoxys (he cosmo'd out his A-Deoxys for D-Deoxys) with Magikarp and repeatedly attack until I got my 10 white attack and he got Counter. This is important: I decided not to evolve him, just in case it got killed since neither Magmortar nor Moltres can get to that goal in one turn. Magikarp can Hurdle Jump to it even if it gets "killed" (evolves) so with only S-Deoxys left on his goal he couldn't do anything in his turn that would let him win.

a lot of people are having these client problems though. Even people with new phones like iPhone 7 and Galaxy s7 are having issues. It's just not programmed well at all.

And the other glitches are still there too that have nothing to do with the phone you're using. The translation errors, Magikarp glitch, etc. are problems with the game itself.

>>31980237
One thing I really hate is that I have my main account on an S7 and an alt on a LG G2 and for whatever reason the game allows my G2 account to move quicker than my S7 team. Going first I can never get a figure out before 4 seconds on the S7 while I can easily do 1-2 second on the G2.

It really adds up.

>>31980140
Max Revive is a staple at high levels when using a team like that or Reuniclus/Deoxys where you lose a lot of advantage if a key figure in sitting in the PC. I see it very frequently at 2800.

The fact that it doesn't end the turn and the revived figure can instantly hit the board is really useful as well.

>>31980293
same. I have an S7 and always waste around 4-5 seconds on my first move. I don't know what it is about the S7 but certain games just make it lag sometimes. Most games are fine but some like this and Pokemon Shuffle lag sometimes. I know there's a way to fix it with Game Tuner but I can't be bothered to set it up

Deox-a is such garbage lol. Can't recall the number of occasions the opponent has gotten dimensional slip at the worst times. Shit defender and shit attacker because he disappears half the time. I don't get how people still use him.

>>31981658
I rarely get dimensional slip when he's against me, it fucking sucks, it's always the 130 attack.

Team is currently Shuppet, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Zapdos, what should be the last two? Salamence, Latios and Gardevoir have been consistently jobbers.

are you asking for advice or what
you didnt post your rating

>>31982916
Sure, anything really
rating is currently 1847

>>31982991
Your plates are decent
scoop up is a bit of a crutch plate that you shouldnt need and would be worth looking to replace
its better to have something that contributes decently in every game rather than a plate that contributes great in one in ten games

you're got some decent mons, but you should probably swap that charizard out
having 1 figure with 1mp is detrimental, having 2 is asking to lose games
getting another 3mp figure will help you in so many situations
lapras and machamp are figs you should look to replace once you find better ones also

if you swap the charizard for a 3mp figure, then that team should be able to get you to at least 2100+ once you learn the game more, probably 2300

genesect would be better than charizard in your case, but he should probably be replaced by poliwag (free from training mode), another leafeon, glaceon, greninja, mew etc. once you can

>>31983173
>>31983167
oh also if you have a charmeleon, you could try running charmeleon -> charizard

he's not an easy fig to evolve, but you will find opportunities to evolve him and a 2mp charizard with boosted damage is fun

>>31982554
My bet is on Kyurem, since the stars of the gym are gonna be Zekrom and Reshiram, just like deoxis was in the fighting gym, so it makes sense to me to have the related figure as a reward.

>>31983257
also dragonite looks like he's going to be a manlet fig like reshiram

>>31983208
That does sound fun and I do have one
Who would you put it in for?
I could try putting the Genesect in for Charizard, though I've never have luck with Genesect, your probably right about needing that 3mp

>>31983268
honestly I wouldnt worry about genesect and just do your training mission to get poliwag
at level 5 (easy for a common) he has 50% chance for 20 damage, 33.33% for 2-star hypnosis, 16.67% chance for dodge
the 20 damage isnt much good, but its almost always better than a miss

the 1/3 chance for the hypnosis can easily win games off its back, and the 50% total for purple/blue means he's decently resilient once he makes a dash after putting someone to sleep

all in all he's an incredible 3mp mon for when you're starting out

I'd probably swap the lapras out for poliwag. Lapras has the 50 damage sure, but the 3mp on poliwag is a massive bonus

genesect is good, but just not quite reliable enough at any particular thing
he has a lot of strengths but they wont come out often enough

>>31983360
sorry 60 is right
I was going off serebii but its outdated on a lot of things
I felt like 50 was wrong but didn't think about it enough

either way I think poliwag would be more useful

I guess I should have been holding on to them, lol

How to Trapinch & Vibrava meme?

Should i pull on this box or wait for a better one?

>>31983573

>>31983573
I'd wait, I'm not seeing the new stuff used much at high ranks.

Mew or Jobfrog?

>>31983755
I prefer Mew

>>31983751
Ok thanks, just wanted to know because i just started and i pulled without knowing 2 times, i got Reshiram, Gardevoir and Zygarde. I'm wondering if any of these is any good.

Is it worth running just normal Deoxys?

Just a reminder that Reshiram and Zekrom are bugged.
The *Bolt attacks read:

>If you have Reshiram on the field, and this Pokémon is not affected by a special condition, exclude the Pokémon knocked out by this Attack from the duel.

>and this Pokémon is not affected by a special condition

>this Pokemon

But it doesn't work if EITHER of them are affected by a special condition.
Just watched a replay where a 2700 player lost a game to this.

>>31983870
Hopefully it's a typo and not a bug tbqh

>>31979080
Make them 1mp

>>31981997
Right? I was really surprised when I found that out. Doesn't make Noctowl good, but at least usable.

>>31983485

Word dump inbound

Know the difference between the two's abilities.

Trapinch can keep any adjacent opposing mon from moving mon from moving. This has saved my ass from Deoxys-S rushes during the fighting gym. Trapinch has protect as well, meaning it can hold a mon down longer than you'd think.

Opposing figures cannot move and attack Vibrava in the same turn. This is kinda insane if you can get Vibrava on a home plate since your opponent has to use more than one turn to get it off. It also helps that Vibrava is a good disruptor thanks to Supersonic and Screech.

And while we're at it, Flygon is good at sniping things with stronk white pieces like Deoxys-A. Chain him to Vibrava so you can also shut down the bird's Soar.

Upgrade sing or round on wigglytuff

>>31984434
Sylveon is a better Round attacker so Sing

>>31984487

Ok. What is the best round deck composition?

I can't decide between:
>sylv x3 wig x2 Ho-oh
>sylv x3 wig x2 xerneas
>sylv x3 wig x3

>>31984487
>tfw 3 wigglytuff
>tfw 0 sylveon

>>31984510
With only four Rounders on the board, Sylveon does 120 which is enough to deal with mostly everything. A fifth is nice to guarantee it, but it's not necessary.
Use the other two for utility or defense. Xerneas is great but you don't really need a boost when you already swing for 120-150.
Remember that with this deck, you only have a 1-star Purple and no Golds. Take that into consideration.

finally got a foothold in masters league,
2468
also this match was pretty intense

credit goes to my friend who was next to me, he is in ultra.

do note the other guy had a whole minute advantage on me, he's just a fast thinker but makes more mistakes, I'm more of a slow and steady wins the race guy.

>>31985412
Because Poliwag isn't an attacker so Manaphy doesn't do anything for it. You're giving a baby some boxing gloves and expecting it to knock out Mike Tyson.

>>31985440
But without 40 attack they get bullied by Mews and Greninjas constantly.

>>31985462
If you want 40 attack, run Leafeon. It's exactly the same as Poliwag, except it does 40 and has an ability too. The only advantage Poliwag has is one more star on its sleep.

>>31985544
>ability
>looks at useful grass-types
so that's what, bulbasaur, venusaur, leafeon, tropius and chesnaught

>>31985707
Seems more like Leafeon, Chesnaught, and potentially Whimsicott

>>31985707
It's mostly about moving them among themselves. But you do see Chestnaught occasionally. Leafeon is just all round a good figure.

fourth dratini, did you believe is gonna be good in the gym?

>>31985412
Why don't you use 2 Vaporeons and a Poliwhirl? Or if you really want to use Poliwag, cut it down to a single Vaporeon.

>>31986169

4 Miss Red
36 Dragon Breath White 100
4 Miss Red
24 Extreme Speed Gold 50
4 Miss Red

knocking out purples could be good due during the dragon/fairy gym. There are a lot of purple users. Wigglytuff, xerneas, whimsiscott, flygon, salamimence, legendary birbs with their charge moves, and so on.

Zygarde's other moves seem bad though

There's also a plate for it:

Land Energy

During this duel, the effect of Land's Wrath from your Zygarde becomes "Spin for all of the opponent's Pokémon on the field, excluding Flying-types. If it lands on Purple Attacks, the Pokémon Faints". Your turn ends

seems useless

What's up with people using Deoxys-Speed without Cosmo Energy? I feel like I'm completely missing something, but it seems like I can just get a guy onto my goal and then get an almost guaranteed evolution and put them down one Pokemon.

>>31986703

yes, but metagross has a bigger chance to hit without dodging, RNG completely fucked him over by giving two different dodge sections

>>31986843

in your second turn you can send it to the inner corners, it can get into the goal from there if the opponent fails to kill it or just sit something in it's way or the goal, people more often choose to move their mew to the goal than risking it to a bad fight, for example, of course you can always attack it from the goal point it's sitting next to, BUT if it dodges or rolls an attack against a miss, or even if they themselves dodge, it's game over

>>31986913

have you chased or used a shuppet that successfully survives two attacks?

it has a small dodge, the opponent also may hit a miss or their own dodge, you're thinking in absolutes and in the end this is a game of chance, if shuppet wasn't able to survive ANY time it gets attacked then it wouldn't be part of the meta

They're pretty reliable. Wait 9 means they come out on your fifth turn anyways if you don't do Switch/No Wait, making them faster than Dialga/Palkia. Being able to turn the game into a 6v3 off a 70 (or a 100 with the plate) is extremely good. They even get a 90-damage status move and Fly on top of that.

that's the not reliable enough part, if you don't have the plate you won't be taking anyone out of the match, and you need to keep both dragons alive and well to activate that effect.

I just think a lot before making a move

>>31989432

I have Ho-Oh, Wigglytuff x3 and Sylveon x1

But I hope to get another two Sylveons to run Sylv x3 Wigglytuff x2 Ho-oh x1 with max revive x2 and long throw (I have all this, just need the sylvs)

70 damage is on-curve for a 2MP Pokemon, though, and it's the model's weakest attack. Even if you don't roll it, you still get above-curve results.
But if you do roll it, you just turned the game into a 6v3. And if you roll it again, a 6v2. Even without the plate, 70 damage is enough to run over virtually any 3MP Pokemon.

why

>>31989464
70 damage is the bare minimum for a 2MP.
2MP with Max 70 and no abilities or good purple is trash.

The Birds set the standard for 2MP at 100 alongside Blastoise.

>>31989507
>70 damage is the bare minimum for a 2MP.
There are several 2MP Pokemon with less than 70 damage. 70 is the curve.

>2MP with Max 70 and no abilities or good purple is trash.
But Reshiram and Zekrom are Min 70, not Max 70. And it has a good Purple.

>The Birds set the standard for 2MP at 100 alongside Blastoise.
Birds are above-curve.

>>31989523
>There are several 2MP Pokemon with less than 70 damage.
They, exist, but there all terrible.
Mewtwo is 2MP with 70 and an okay purple.
It's pretty bad in the meta.
Empoleon is Max 70 and a tech ability and it's barely usable.
The meta curve is above 70 for a 2MP.
>But Reshiram and Zekrom are Min 70, not Max 70.
I am aware, however, you said
>70 damage is on-curve for a 2MP Pokemon
I was referring to that.

The only 2MP with 70 Figures that are good have outstanding purples.

there are so many controls it should have in place
respin should cap at 1
should only work while linked
stuff like that

the real cancer is cosmo plate

>>31989438
still pretty good for a box that only guarantees UC. and at least it wasn't an EX ingot.

DRAGONITE IS THE 200 WIN BONUS BUT YOU CAN ALSO GET IT RARELY FROM GYM BOOSTERS

LITERALLY SUBREDDIT CONFIRMED FROM JAP TWITTER, BREAKING NOW

No word on kit yet

>>31989909

>200 wins

guess i won't be getting dragonite

>>31989909
>200 wins
are you for real?, what does dragonite do that it needs to be that high in the reward list?

>>31989909
why do you keep doing these "reddit confirmed this thing" and why do people keep falling for it?

>>31989955

you answered your own question buddy

>>31989955
>why do people keep falling for it?
he made it somewhat believable and no one is going to check the god damn japanese twitter mostly because we can't read japanese.

>>31990002
200 wins for the gym mon reward isnt believable at all except to the most gullible of fools

who doesnt have auto-translate in their browser nowadays?

EX cube well spent
overdrive is the best plate

>>31990029
that's why i said mostly believable, the 200 part was bullshit but that you could get it from gym boosters and that it was announced on the japanese twitter and pulled by reddit was believable.

>who doesnt have auto-translate in their browser nowadays?
that usually is a laughable garbage that is only useful at finding the download button on japanese sites.

>>31990280
its enough to figure out what the bulk of the announcements mean
poorly translated japanese twitter is the best way to find out about announcements for this game
if you've had a look at the subreddit you'd know that its useless for pretty much everything
its run by a guy who thinks the japanese twitter isnt an official account

>>31991020
you only need both if you want the permanent knock out effect, you can use overdrive with just one of them
