>play through using Basic decks to unlock them for versus play
>farm Versus Mode theme ladder for Tokens and Tournament Tickets
>Enter Theme format tournaments whenever possible
>enter Standard/Expanded ticket tournaments and accept that you'll lose
>you'll get tradable tournament chests and sometimes tradable packs
>DON'T OPEN THEM
>Instead, trade them for the cards you actually want for a deck you want to build, most cards go for like 1-3 packs each.

That's ridiculous from a big online store.

Even worse is that they have no real incentive to compensate you in any way. Given that my guy was a fairly small eBay seller, he made an effort to make up for the delay; I'm guessing T&T just expected you to be grateful for the privilege of waiting for their cards?

in terms of calling for Vileplume to be banned, and comparing it to cards like Shiftry & LTC, then yes they are. All these cards are beatable, in a way that Shiftry/LTC are not. idk if you are the original anon, but he was trying to put those on par with each other, when clearly they are not. You can build an anti-Vileplume deck. You can't build an anti-Shiftry deck.

I'll miss Raikou but I think generations on will be the best choice for the standard meta. Can still enjoy my cancer cards in expanded.

This is gonna be an odd question but I figured if anybody would know it'd be you guys. I was looking up older theme decks because reasons and I noticed that some go for like ~$20 sealed and others ~$50 in worn condition. What's up with that? Is it just that they're kinda rare so there's no set price? Were some of them actually stupid good?

Not really related but damn man look at this theme deck's box. I love it's aesthetic.

It is both MUH NOSTALGIA and things appreciate in value due to scarcity

That anon is being stupid for replies. Regular art will be $20, full art with $30-$35, hyper rare wil be $50+. DCE will be $45-50. So yeah not quite $300. It's good for sets to have chase cards in them, makes the set as a whole more valuable. Gives normies and blingfags something to be excited about.

Starting with the absolute fucking YES kind of card:

Field Blower – Trainer
Item

Choose up to 2 in any combination of Pokemon Tool cards and Stadium cards in play (both yours and your opponent’s) and discard them.

You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before your attack).

Help for energy attachment for Metal and Psychic Pokemon:

Metagross-GX – Metal – HP250
Stage 2 – Evolves from Metang

Ability: Geotech System
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may attach either a [P] or [M] Energy from your discard pile to your Active Pokemon.

[M][M][C] Giga Hammer: 150 damage. This Pokemon can’t use Giga Hammer during your next turn.

[C] Algorithm GX: Search your deck for up to 5 cards and put them into your hand. Then shuffle your deck. (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack a game.)

When your Pokemon GX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize Cards.

Weakness: Fire (x2)
Resistance: Psychic (-20)
Retreat: 3

Victreebel – Grass – HP140
Stage 2 – Evolves from Weepinbell

[G] Pollen Hazard: 20 damage. Your opponent’s Active Pokemon is now Poisoned, Burned, and Confused.

[G][C][C] Stick and Absorb: 80 damage. Heal 20 damage from this Pokemon. Your opponent’s Active Pokemon can’t retreat during their next turn.

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


This has some meme potential, with band you can basically do 80+ damage for a single energy and 50% chance for the opponent not being able to attack and 10 more damage from poison between turns, seems pretty good to me.

Item

You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before your attack).

Easy way to re-use Shaymin or Lele from Discard pile and with nice versatility, seems pretty good.

Stage 1 – Evolves from Trubbish

[P] Trashvalanche This attack does 20 damage times the number of Item cards in your opponent’s discard pile.

[P][C][C] Acid Bomb: 70 damage. Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy from your opponent’s Active Pokemon.

Weakness: Psychic (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 3

Psychic decks could really enjoy this, you can do fucking 200 damage end game with this bad boy, this is like an end game night march.

shuffle your hand into your deck and draw 4, if you have used your GX attack already, draw 7 instead.

Good for Early GX attack decks.

Pokebeach translation for Delibird is wrong: they think it's a single coin flip that might let you search for a card in your deck to add to hand. It actually flips coins until you get tails and searches for cards equal to the amount of heads.

>fresh format

Have you been paying attention to what's going on? We're going to have the same boring format, just without VS Seeker/Lysandre.

I've been playing PTCGO for a while now and I was considering getting into the physical game at the next rotation. Given what we've seen of the new sets, I've pretty solidly turned against that idea.
>>
So, the son of my mother's coworker buys a lot of physical booster packs and was throwing away some jank that came with the boosters, my mom got a ton of those and they seem to have a code that might serve you guys. I don't really give two shits about Pokémon but it'd be a waste to throw this away.

So, are there any use to the codes? Should I post them here?
>>
>>32075109
read OP, you can post them as pictures or text, pictures are usually easier because typing out lots of codes is annoying.

if you post them as pictures it's good to cover the QR codes.

Yes. It's from Primal Clash, so it's definitely going.

if you have more than a few you could ask for emails and send two or three to each so one anon doesn't hog them.

Or sell em on ebay. Depending on the set, they go for 10c up to 1$ a pop. Usually around 20c which isn't much but that adds up if you have 50+ codes.

You get the deck box and sleeves.

Yeah but those are just extraneous and useless extras.

Why is the first thing that comes up for PTCG on youtube are box opening channels?

Who watches that stuff?
>>
>>32082479
Its just like asking children why do they watch Minecraft lets play videos famalam
>>
>>32074896
desu a better question might be why did they love item cards. The only reason cards like Vileplume and >>32074620 are so powerful is because items are broken as a card type.
>>
>>32080601
Does the game even do anything to simulate those effects?
>>
>>32082625
no, the card's banned online.
>>
>>32076787
In my experience, online you're more likely to play against gimmick decks than in tournaments (especially if you're above average in the tournaments), and tournaments are all Best of 3. Besides that, being successful IRL is generally the same as being successful online.

>Whimsicott with a move that lets you take 2 more if you KO the opponent's active the next turn for [C]

I want to make this work in a deck with Articuno AOR so I can take a 6 prize KO.

From what you've seen so far what pokemon do you see yourself building a deck around from SM2 Guardians Rising?

This and probably its GX too. Being invulnerable to EX and GX Pokemon seems really good, especially now that you can turn off Garbodor (if it survives) with Field Blower.
>>
>>32082804
Metagross because he's been my bro since ex-HL.

Playing Stage 2s in a format with FoGP feels fucking one-sided as shit though.
>>
>>32082742
Even then, it would be 5 prizes for knocking out an EX/GX.

Umbreon EX, though, could make it happen.

Serious decks
Honchkrow/Espeon
Trev/Vileplume
Bulu/Lurantis (maybe with Plume, we'll see), probably 2 mommy lurantis and 2 baby lurantis.
Raikou/Electrode/Koko with Aether stadium
Ninetales water box
I have 4 incineroar so I'll probably do a victini deck with them

Memes
Goodra/Solgaleo

"I really liked to play Pokemon Trading Card Game Online a couple of years ago.
It was fun to win, it wasn't dissapointing to lose, because balance in cards was perfect at a time, and winning or loosing a match was a matter of how you play, not wich cards you added in your deck.

But nowadays, every time I go to play in Versus mode, I facing against one and the same cards over and over again.
Those cards were made not for fair play, but for easy wins. They allows player to deal giant damage, add more than one energy card in a turn, change opponent's pokemon, poison opponent every turn, attack twice in a turn etc.
Those cards are unfair, and they really ruins all the fun from playing PTCGO.

I made a list of those cards (see below).
I have some of them in my collection, but I don't have any of those cards in any of my decks, because I'm trying to pay maximum respect to my opponents. Howewer, most of my opponents do not respect me, and uses at least one of this cards:

- Ariados with Poisonous Nest ability
- Blastoise with Deluge ability
- Delphox with Psystorm attack
- Delphox with Blaze Ball attack
- Garchomp with Bite_Off attack
- Greninja BREAK
- Keldeo EX with Rush In ability
- M Charizard EX with Wild Blaze attack (it's 300 damage for God's sake!)
- M Mewtwo EX with Psychic Infinity attack
- M Tyranitar EX with Destroyer King attack
- Medicham with Ω Barrage
- Pyroar with Intimidating Mane ability
- Raticate with Super Fang attack
- Raticate BREAK with Super Fang attack
- Shaymin EX with Set Up ability
- Vespiquen with Bee Revenge attack
- Volcanion EX with Steam Up ability
- Pumpkaboo, Joltik and Lampent with Night March attack
- Forest of the Giant Plants
- Lysandre
- Team Flare Battle Compressor

Why other cards that was ruining the game (Shiftry and Lysandre's Trump Card) are banned for play, but those cards - are not?
How to counter those cards without using some of them?"

I couldn't be bothered to greentext; fite me.

[C] Amass: Search your deck for a basic Energy card and attach it to this Pokemon. Then shuffle your deck.
[C][C][C] Power Cyclone: 80 damage. Move an Energy from this Pokemon to 1 of your Benched Pokemon.

This is my favourite, just love the art
>>
>>32071919
Made a garchomp deck years ago because of it
>>
>>32084587
I'll agree that is some properly good art, I wish I had been playing the pokemon tcg for longer than just recently so I could see all the awesome card arts across the years
>>
>>32084473
I agree there are some really anoying cards nowadays, but don't fool yourself, Pokémon was never properly balanced. Ever heard of Super Energy Removal?

Banning cards could enrage players (aka consumers), you don't want them to stop playing because their shiny bling shaymemes dropped to 25 cents overnight.

Pokémon will always have a "pay to win" factor. If you feel frustrated about that, I sugest you try to set some sort of restriction with your IRL friends. In PTCGO, most people will play just what is proven to be effective.
>>
>>32084976
>not remembering this copypasta
>>
>>32083169
You can build Volcanion without them. I myself use one like that, most of the time, having energy in your hand instead of a elixir proves to be more useful. And you can use Scorched Earth to make up for the lack of trainer's mail.
>>
Guys. Serious question here: would anyone be willing to pay in booster packs for pokemon-related drawing requests? Grinding for packs is a hassle...
>>
>>32072336
Are you the one who posted a pic of like 12 codes like a week ago?
>>
>>32085099
Sorry, but you can give out your nudes for a few codes :^)
>>
New-friend here, sorta re-getting into the tcgo on a friend's recommendation. I've dabbled in it a little before, so I have a modest collection. I'm still grinding out the trainer challenges, but I think I should have an idea of what decks I wanna build.

I guess the fast version of my question is where should I look to find what's good and meta at any given moment? Reddit and here are the first things that come to mind, Ideally I want something in the form of a youtube channel.

Also, is it ever worth buying packs/ a deck/box for the online code only? I wouldn't mind chucking a few bucks at this if I get into it.
>>
>>32085391
You can keep an eye on the current meta, pokemon.com does have some meta deck list used in a few tournaments, the thing is that the ptcgo meta is way different than the IRL meta
>>
>>32085413
Why's that?
>>
>>32085476
You haven't seen all of the horrible/meme decks going around on ptcgo? The only time you'll see a top-tier deck is during the ticket tournaments
>>
>>32085485
Haven't done pvp yet. Figure it ain't worth it til' I get all the free packs and cobble together what I can.

>>32085391
pastebin tier list is pretty good though decidueye/vileplume seems to be gaining enough traction to at least be tier 2 if not 1.

>>32085485
You still see plenty of darkrai turbo and item lock retardation on ladder. But you do see a lot more memedecks than you would at an event. It's nice in a way since it prepares you for anything, but I would appreciate more practice against actually good decks that you almost never see on ladder. Like I never, ever see someone playing Yveltal on vs ladder.
>>
>>32081843

What was it like? In a standard meta with no escape from Night March?
>>
>>32085607
It was a contest to see what happened first, a compressor or quaking punch. If quaking punch or trevlock came down before you could get enough pokemon in discard the game was rough. If not, game's easy.

TPC missed the opportunity to reprint charizards ability on A-Golem since he has Galvanize
>>
>>32086001
Its first attack should have been an ability, and there should have been like 4 new stadium cards that it could specifically put into play. Like

Hailstorm
Place 1 damage counter on all non-water pokemon on the field at the end of each turn

Torrential Downpour
All water type pokemon's attacks deal 20 more damage, all fire type pokemon's attacks deal 20 less damage

Baking Sun
Fire type pokemon have no weakness, grass type pokemon need 1 [G] less to attack

Sandstorm
All fighting type pokemon take 30 less damage

would have been busted but w/e, better have a lot of good cards than a few good cards and a bunch of useless ones.
>>
>>32086065
I was thinking like

Weather Guidance
Whenever you attach a [W], [R] or [F] energy from your hand to this pokemon it is that type until the end of your turn.

No idea. You're talking about easily half a year before we know anything. If a reprint set like Generations can be on PTCGO, I don't see why that can't be either.

I don't understanw why Japan has different expansions than the rest of the world. Why can't it be like MTG where everyone has the same set at the same time?
>>
>>32086596
Looks more like a problem with your computer than a connection with the game servers. If it was a server connection issue you would get disconnected and sent back to the login screen not get a windows crash error message.

Uninstall and reinstall the program.
>>
>>32086801
Because grorious nippon arways has to make sure that Japanese fans get more stuff and get it faster.

card legality is also different in Japan which is stupid as fuck, especially considering the company that handles distribution there does a way better job than TCPI of reprinting things. Like the entire garbodor meme wasn't an issue for the better part of a year in Japan because they didn't go without tool removal in standard for 9 months.
>>
>>32086801

Probably logistic problem of translating, printing, and distributing cards in multiple languages and TPCi prefers to release sets in a fixed time frame. At least we now have a less than 2 month gap instead of the old 4~5 month gap before XY

Don't the majority of their tournaments essentially use Expanded format?
You'd think it would give them a disadvantage at Worlds if they suddenly have to adapt to Standard.
>>
>>32087082
XY-on is what they mostly play now so not our Expanded either. Japanese players who make it to Worlds have gone through a harsh elimination, adjusting to a different format is child's play compared to that.

Not that much. The noise it makes when you tear it is basically the same as any other card.

Best sleeves are KMC Hyper Matte and Dragon Shield Matte. KMCs are easier to shuffle, and suck up grime like nothing else. Dragon Shield Mattes are more durable, but the shuffle feel is worse. Either one is the way to go, though.
