This electric deck is surprisingly good. Especially when i evolve dratini which happens a fair amount of the time.

reuniclus isn't even that bad, it's just annoying.

>pulled a Zapdos from a Rainbow box
Let's go, fuckers

Who should I replace? My league team is Moltres/ Metagross/ Gardevoir/ Glaceon/ Yveltal/ Shuppet

>>32086096
Drop Gardevoir.

>>32086096
how are you with yveltal? I shred that thing but i run yellow heavy

>>32085881
both are just as bad, the difference is that Deoxis A can get fucked by luck and roll a purple that will send him back, if that happens all it can do is to hope you will roll a 2 star purple or higher.
While Reuniclus doesn't matter what it rolls it will be either a 100+ dmg move or a purple that confuses you and leave your figure useless, and on top of that if you roll a purple it can just force itself to roll a purple too, so it will try and cancel your purple with a high chance of success.

>>32086096
I got a Moltres from mine the other day, so at least I have a more reliable Zapdos killer.

Also have an Articuno, but that bird always lands on miss when it needs to kill something while defending my goal.

>>32086162
3 star Confuse Ray was a mistake.

>>32086096
get rid of gardevoir and i would say you're fine

>>32086133
not that anon, but Yveltal is pretty reliable for a 3 miss zones figure, though chances are that it will get wreck 80% of the time by a mew.

>>32086133
Pretty good honestly. I usually send it out as a response to my opponent's purple users just to block their path, but if my opponent either doesn't have a yellow attacker or if they get knocked out early, I sometimes keep it close to my goal. Plus if I can get a Dark Mist off, enemy Zapdos will have to think twice about attacking Yveltal.
I haven't been cucked by Draining Wind just yet either.

Fuck Mew though

>>32086193
>>32086212
ah k, I pulled one but haven't used it as I usually wreck it (usually running mew and or zapdos)

Is it worth it to wait for sextuple boosters to come back or should I buy a quad or two. I have zero EX figures. :(

I just got a Garchomp. Should I switch to Gabite rushing? Is he worth it.

Vibrava rushing is doing wonders for me, but I'm open to changing styles.

>2 Reshiram, Dialga, Vibrava
Needless to say I got raped. I managed to confuse Dialga which then let me force it to miss and KO it, but then Reshiram and power battle forced me to miss and it was game over.
Should I buy boosters or whatever with the gems I've been given? Cause goddamn.

Sextuple packs aren't coming back for a while if ever, the only chance they have right now is some sort of summer deal.

>it's another "i roll dodge and the opponent rolls miss" episode

stop this fucking meme, it's designed to meme you from spending your gems. they are never coming back.

sex packs were just an aid to help us/eu players catch up with the japs.

yes and it never intended to launch outside japan originally

You're free to do what you want with your gems but the chance of seeing sex packs again are virtually non existent, don't waste your currency my dude

easy exs

What move should I increase on Reuniclus

>>32086338
I would say it's a better idea to just waste your gems in 11 wins boxes, they usually have the same if not MUCH higher chances of giving you an EX compared to quadpacks.
if you can make it to 5 wins in a row, i think it's a good idea to waste 10 gems in a continue.
The only thing that quad packs can give you that 11 win boxes can't are plates, that you can still buy directly from the store if you need one badly.

>Shuppet, Dexoys-fast, Yveltal, Dialga
What have I done to be a sub 1500 shitter getting bodied like this?

>>32086656

deoxys fast is fucking weak lol it's only good in full cosmo decks

just double chance anything with 60+ white attacks and kill it

>>32086572
Why not just grind the level 1 gym boosters?

>>32086674

because the odds of pulling something good are higher in 2 packs

read the small print in the gym news article, the higher you go the better stuff you pull. this isn't a reference to the boxes that give minimum-R/UC etc, the actual odds of pulling an R/EX go up the higher you go even if the boxes only give basic figures.

>>32086683
this is false.

>>32086699

this is false

I didn't even get the opportunity to do so because I landed on a 4% miss and then it Espeeded me to death it+Shuppet were on my entry points

I started in February and didn't re-roll so my memory may be a bit hazy, but can't you only use your starting ticket/gems for packs that are currently in the store? The current pack in rotation only has 8 EXs (Reshiram, Zekrom, Gardevoir, Zygarde, Charizard, Xerneas, Rayquaza and one other shitty one that I can't remember), so he wouldn't be able to get a lot of those

Is there any situation where I would want to let my R Pikachu evolve? He seems better than Raichu especially when he's facing purple spinners.

Why would he bother attacking Zapdos like that? I don't get it. He could have just surrounded my goalie and won. Zapdos couldn't have made it over there in time. Did he see something I didn't?

Legitimately asking because I'm trying to get better at this game. If I was in his position I would have just went for the surround and ignored Zapdos. Was his strategy safer?

ith your goal virtually surrounded, and your zapdos confused he thought

"I can hit Hyper beam or brain link to completely shut him off, and if he gets a good spin (practically impossible with confusion now) there's the respin!"

Rolling against someone who can reroll 3 times in a row and get bullshit his way into countering your purple or fucking your figure up is annoying.

?????? Are you fucking retarded ????????
Craft a Metagross. Your problem is solved. Meanwhile, bad ""rng"" still exists for everyone. Nobody is safe from it. No amount of rerolls can escape from literal rigged spins.

Do you play against a bot if you lose too many non-dragon gym matches too? Because that dude just let me slide up in his goal when he could have at least attacked the Pokemon I was sending into it.
Anyway I got a promotion and it came with an Aron, so that's cool. Back to the grind in the gym.

>>32090397
Probably got cocky and was also paranoid about dying on the surround and losing his entries. I think trying to surround with mew was the best play for him (it was good statistically, plus he'd still have a decent chance of winning if he failed) even if it's not an 100% chance of victory. So you're right, it was a retarded play by him.

So you happened to have not only kept all your material since the game released but also earned enough gems post-sexpacks from missions and daily rewards up to a month and a half ago to get 5400 gems/27 quadpacks in order to have happened to buy three of the most broken rare figures in the game

Well what I'm really asking is how much 5400 gems costs anon

I want to level up Squirtle and get withdraw to take up the whole goddamn wheel because that shit was clutch against Xerneas. Makes me glad to main him in PM.

In normal league, I'm trying to find a new runner

Whimsicott
Poliwag to Poliwhirl

Poliwag seems like it would be really difficult to evolve.

just pulled Zekrom and Reshiram from quad pack. They any good?

>>32090975
Nah man they're fucking shit just fuse em away or wait for a buff

Anon, they're fantastic. Use them together and buy 2 overdrive plates so you can put them both to work. I really envy your luck, holy shit.

>>32090975
the former of those two.

>>32090975
In a vacuum, Reshiram is the Superior figure, but if you have both and Overdrive plates, you are now in possession of figures with a 100 power move capable of removing other figures from the rest of the duel.

Only downsides are that they start with 9 wait and they're pretty liable to fuck themselves over thanks to Fly.

But I'm tired of playing Triple Reuniculus, which I didn't pay a dime for before you hurl accusations of me being a p2w and hence Implying a faggot.

So help me make a deck that can successfully complement Reshiram Zekrom, I'll be posting pics of my figures in replies to this post

is it good?

>>32091784
It's a pretty good defender, but Mew, which hard counters it, is very common in team comps right now. Might be worth using depending on your team.

That's really strange that you were able to get it though, is this a pack that you bought with gems?

>>32091821

no it was a booster ticket from the gym.

>>32091832
That should still be impossible. A booster ticket only gets a single booster from the shop from the current rotation.

Skill doesn't matter. Only 3* confuse ray and landing on your size 4 miss multiple times without confuse matter. I'm super salty.

>>32090911
It absolutely is without Manaphy.

>>32092222
>most of the time its better as poliwag anyway
They do different things. Can't compare them.

Poliwag is a Leafeon alternative, giving you an extra star on an equally-sized purple and Manaphy synergy in exchange for all of Leafeon's benefits. It's not that bad.

Poliwhirl is mistranslated; it actually spins your OPPONENT's wheel two spaces clockwise. This makes it a huge counterpick against certain decks. For example, it turns Deoxys-A's 130 white into Dimension Slip (!!!), or Mew's gold into a miss if it isn't maxed, or Zapdos's gold into a blue, and so on.

>>32091832
>>32091730
what
you're not supposed to be able to get yveltal in boosters right now

>>32092240
>They do different things. Can't compare them.

I know, but MOST of the time poliwag is still better
It's obviously up to the player in each situation as to whether its good to evolve or not
against a lot of figures it doesnt do enough to be worth it
against a rayquaza for example it will barely do a thing

it doesn't do much against deoxys. it turns his slip into his 130 white
yes the chances are a decent slice better, but its not a hard counter like some people like to think of it as (!!!)

but a majority of the time, having 3 mp and a higher combined purpl/blue is more useful

>>32092267
>it doesn't do much against deoxys. it turns his slip into his 130 white
???
Psycho Boost is a 52% chance piece
Dimension Slip is 32%
Your odds of turning Boost into Slip are fucking huge compared to the opposite happening, and Slip puts Deoxys back on the bench.

>>32092280
its 54% and 33%
I know dude
but when people talk about it they completely neglect that it turns slip into his attack and just think of it as making him always slip
like I said, its not a hard counter like people present it as

>confused that he swapped spots with you and took the goal

wow its almost like you're negative rating for a reason

>>32092487
I'm not confused about it at all. Just upset. 3MP and a spot swap is pretty annoying for a terrible beginner like myself.

>>32092517
just think about things a bit more
"this guy can potentially swap spots with my figure"
"maybe that spot should be further down the board rather than my own goal"

running to your own goal at the start of the game is a terrible strategy that beginners love to do
try to stop doing it
the two inner points are your priority usually

slippery swap is a perfectly fine move

>>32092517
Don't beat yourself up over it dude. Just see this gym as an opportunity to grind better figures.

>>32092526
the energy increase makes grinding a lot less appealing
I don't feel as inclined to gem energy with it like this

I stopped playing this game about two weeks ago but I keep coming back to this thread and I'm getting an urge to start playing agan

How unfun is the game for someone who doesn't have 3 Reuniclus or Deoxys?

>>32092521
>running to your own goal at the start of the game is a terrible strategy that beginners love to do
>the two inner points are your priority usually
I usually try to throw Emolga out to one of those inner points first and then shuffle Squirtle to hold onto the goal. I'll try to plan better next time.
Sliggoo is something special though. Because I tried to get to the goal first it was either going to swap me onto the goal or knock Squirtle out and be on top of the goal before I could put anyone else there anyway.
So I guess I fucked up on all fronts and I'll have to avoid that next time. Thanks for the tip.
>>32092526
Honestly I'm not that mad about it. It was more of a "Man what terrible luck" moment than total rage.
>>32092532
Having so little energy is kind of a bummer. Only being able to get 3 games in per spurt is annoying because I'm already pretty addicted to it even though I'm losing like 80% of the time.

>>32092550
basically you need to plan ahead more
if they move a 3mp fig to an inner point, then next turn they check your goal with it if you don't block it off

blocking further up the board is better than backing directly onto your goal in the first place unless they've got something like shuppet that is just going to sneak past anyway

>>32092480
>he doesn't surround his goal so sliggoo gets trolled

>1530 gems saved up
>yfw sexpacks will never come back
At least I can gem energy and reach 100 wins.

Shortened reward tree benefits both casuals and gemmers.

>>32092839
You get 3 and 2/3 of battle per 10 gems, or one battle per about 2 and 3/4 of a gem.

If you win only against bug bots, that's 400 battles you need to win. The upper end is 1100 gems, assuming you don't use the free energy.

>>32092541
if you arent playing at high ranking, you dont usually see much of them , so its not dat bad

food for thought:
if dragonite was good then dragonair -> dragonite would have been a great pseudo counter to magikarp -> gyarados because it allows for an easy evolution

it still does allow the easy evolution, but dragonite is still lackluster since he gets self wait on his gimped fly

they also have big purple segments which can freeze/sleep it and put you in a checkmate by walking straight through.

>first game of the day goes extremely well, Poliwag hypnosis beats Gabite's purple and let's me hop onto the empty goal
>second game
>nothing that can stand a chance against Rapequaza
>got lucky and re-benched Reshiram with Kirlia's purple
>get unlucky everywhere else and Zygarde KO's Squirtle then all of my other dudes spin purple too
I tried my best. 2 streak is almost impossible and 3 is definitely impossible for a baddie like me. Makes me wish I had listened and rerolled my account forever for EXs instead of jumping right into it.

I'm basically in the same boat as you, but I did get lucky enough to roll a Sylveon and a Wigglytuff, so I can use a bit of Round memeing. It has gotten me to 3 streaks a couple of times, at least

>>32096727
I'd use the extra positioning. I mean how often do you survive to use 3 double chances?

Max Hypnosis on Poliwag? Or Dodge?

>>32097131
Max Hypnosis

Dunno yet, I'm still testing and sadly need a few more mats to buy the Leafeon I need. Testing with two Whimsicotts and an Ivysaur has proven the deck to be pretty damn strong defensively already. As for keeping at least one Gothitelle around the field consistently having Torterra on a corner and a Max Revive in my plates has seen it work pretty well. Gothorita is quite easy to evolve if she's defending a corner too.

dubs and i /quit/

don't worry dude, 2 streaks can still give you EX if that's your worry, i got a Reshiram yesterday (and a shitty Aggron before it)

>>32097193

single boxes too, just to be clear

>>32096980
Seems decent. I haven't had to play against a round team yet but just seeing a single Sylveon made it look like cancer.
>>32097193
Someone posted that increased streaks don't increase your chances of getting EX or whatever which seems weird but good for me. It just feels bad to lose so often.
Also I got Koffing and Weezing basically back to back last night. Weird and probably not really helpful but fun.

>guy in ~2600 is still using that Rpikachu

>>32097200
>tfw you got greninja from 1 win box
probably my best pull in all gyms so far

>>32097414
It might be his best Yellow option. Not everyone had a Greninja, Mew, or Zapdos.

>>32097427
>>32097437
>tfw no Greninja
Mew would be cool too but I like frogs. Toxicroak needs to happen soon.

>>32097613
Water Shuriken is a damn wild card

Sometimses it's a big fuck you and only lands once, or it decides to spin enough to terrify Deoxys A

And that's before you forget it's secondary effect and by pure luck take out the goalie that had a huge purple

>Poliwag dumpsters his Yveltal
>next turn Kirlia moonblasts his Rayray away
>then it purples his Empoleon to bench and lets me swap in Pikachu to grab goal on my turn
So fucking good. Way too clutch.
>>32097717
Frog seems like a really fantastic figure to have for that reason. Everyone with multi hit moves has been dicking me pretty hard so I figure it has to be my time everntually if I can ever pull him.

Approx. 40 gym boosters and I've gotten nothing but commons, uncommons, and one dragonair (my third).

>>32097800
