they're probably fixing Delphox or giving the 17 million downloads reward?

>>32150525
the 17m reward was the 50 gems you got today
its a daily thing that lasts until the 3/4/17 (14:59 UTC) with different rewards each day
tomorrows reward is 2 R cubes

Servers down. Compensation incoming

is true that the japanese has the campaign complete?

put a piece in the middle, then make your zapdos jump over it, zapdos now cannot be surrounded and can attack the vibrabas, bonus points if you get to paralyzed them.

I'm shit at this game and only got to 1900 for a bit before dropping down to 1700

Deoxys N
Latios
Typhlosion
Zekrom
Rhypherior
Rayquaza
Mew (x2)
Lugia
Dialga

Which of these EXs should I be using, my deck is randomly thrown together rn

>>32151717
3mp pieces are the best

I wouldn't use more than 1mp figure in a deck but you have 2 of the better ones where if you ran

Mew x2
Latios
Either Rhypherior or Rayquaza

Hurdle Jump and pokemon switch you could do some damage

Use your speedy 3mps and try to take a corner early in the game and then switch to Rhyperior or Rayquaza

>get screwed over by not having goal block because metagross is such a slow clunky dude

I want to use overdrive (for reshi), hurdle, max revive and goal block but its 1 slot too many

I'd happily do without goal block if I wasnt using metagross

Are the new quad boosters worth buying?
got 1k gems saved.

>Spend two booster tickets
>Get two Vibrava
That's unusual, I guess.
>Open Orange timed

Well then.

Should I replace my Moltres with a Moltres counter?

>>32152057
They're just about all useful figs

>>32151998
Goal Block is a crutch plate.

Is there any sort of spicy tech I'm missing with the quick care plate? I know I severely underestimated the power of scoop up before using it but this thing seems totally worthless.

>>32152140
its not exclusively a crutch
it allows you to make power plays you otherwise couldnt by saving on turns positioning to defend goal
you can instead spend the turns securing their entries or elsewhere on board rather than trotting towards your own goal with a 1mp piece

>>32151998
Use a switch plate instead

>>32152194
not a bad idea, I'll try it out
not a perfect replacement but better than nothing
often I need to get metagross out early to get his blocking effect going but then he's blocking one side of my board and leaves me open to aggro strats
His effect should just work from bench, reuniclus and deoxys get their effects from bench so why does my clunky piece not block them until he gets to board

>>32152153
It's just a poorly thought out plate. The idea is that it's like a poverty Max Revive that only takes up 1 slot; if you have a Pokemon that's knocked out, you can push it forward in the PC queue while also getting a free Scoop Up. The problem is that it doesn't work if your PC is full and it also ends your turn.

It's no different from all the status-healing plates when Full Heal exists at the same price point.

>>32152209
I like switch because it has offensive application too. Goal block is too rigid for my tastes.

The rest of the gyms will be:

Dark/Bug
Rock/Steel
Grass/Poison

and potentially

Normal/Normal
Ghost/Ghost
where the type receives both buffs or a different, special kind of buff. There's really not much you can do with Normal since its only weakness is Fighting.

assuming that types cannot be reused if they were used for a previous gym and that the next gym is indeed Fire/Ground.
Or possibly this if the devs decide to count immunity as a type advantage:

Poison/Steel
Ghost/Normal or Normal/Ghost
Dark/Bug
Rock/Grass
Personally, I think the Normal/Normal and Ghost/Ghost scenario might be more likely. Ghost/Ghost could happen for Halloween. Normal/Normal could be reserved for some crazy Arceus/Reggiegiggers event.

>>32152408
But it's not an EX :^)

>>32152408
gyarados was the start of their power spiking before they realized they went too far with deoxys and reuniclus

>>32152419
Reuniclus isn't even overpowered at all if you run deoxys.

>people that just move shuppet around to prevent fights

why the hell is this allowed
every ghost should just have gastlies ability instead of infiltrator

>>32153144
You only need four Pokemon to wall the board. Use the other two to deny Shuppets and either push with low-priority figures or figures that have a high statistical advantage.

Shuppet is an extremely balanced figure.

>>32153149
I know its balanced, but its fucking annoying when people play like this:
>>32150283

its not even limited to deoxys teams, and its the worst with vibravas

>>32153162
But it's easily solvable. There's a reason why you don't see Deoxys D or Vibrava (or rarely Shuppet for that matter) above 2500 rating.

Post your team.

>>32153169
that is my team
these matches the opponents are 2.7k and 3.1k and they both had deo-D:

>>32151031
>>32150283

I see deo-D all the time at 3k
I'm happy whenever they dont have it because it means the game wont be a snooze fest

>>32152140
Please, I don't use it myself but I hate when the opponent has it, the first thing I do is checking if he does.
Getting cockblocked everytime and see the match last 30 more turns with the chance of a turn of tables isn't fun.

>>32153349
yeah a majority of the time its a second chance life
I cant think of the term for it but abilities that revive you on your first death
that type of thing

>>32152385
Groudon, it would explain the sudden buff

>>32153349
Forcing an opponent to goal block is generally a game-winning play.
They just lost a turn, moved nothing onto the field off their bench, didn't attack, and lost two slots on their plate deck. They also had to move something from an advantageous or offensive position onto what is easily the worst place for something to be in all regards other than preventing a loss.

>>32153353
I can't even see exactly what changed (segment size wise) because I havent encountered one before

Do you still stretch out Delphox's sexy hole or do you leave it at Level 1 to maximize a Miss chance? Spamming Max Revive sounds fantastic.

>>32153371
max it still
the plate on miss is a bonus effect, don't try to rely on it for anything

if you're aiming to miss to get a max revive back then you're likely to lose him anyway

it shines when you get a miss into a dodge or something like that, but to re-iterate, its just a bonus side effect

whenever you fight you should still be hoping for a hyperspace hole (eventually flame kinesis when they fix it)

any of you cool dudes got a rhyperior yet?
he has a beastly moveset but 1mp sucks

I'm not sure WHAT I should replace though. I have Genesect(usually a Goalie) Kirlia, Articuno, Zapdos, Ho-oh, and Leafeon. Before anyone says Leafeon, it has won WAY too many rush victories and walked through sleepers. I'd like to keep it.

I think he could work well as an anti rush mon that can stop stuff like Lati rushes.

Those were dark times

It was like fighting a Lati with infiltrator

Since we've got Fire coming up, could we see Water and Grass gyms in the future? I mean, it would make sense to do it for all the starter types. If that was the case, we'd definitely see Water/Electric and Grass with either Bug or Poison. Leaning towards Poison, since it could only be otherwise paired up with Ground, Psychic or Fairy, and they've all already been hit

>>32156420
Water gym has already been done, before international release

>>32156433
Huh. Well if anything, that makes me think Grass is guaranteed down the line

I wish they'd buff the type power cards like electric and dread power. Make them cost 1 but I guess water decks would be ridiculous then

>>32156965
Wouldn't he have to protect his goal with Ghastly before trying to rush down with Jolteon?

>>32157003

he did by putting it in the way

i usually X-attack Mews that directly get in the spot next to the goal or shuppets that step back in there (it happens a lot, i guess people are scared of attacking it and missing most of the time) since they're easy to kill with a weakling like Speedoxis

Ghastly fills the criteria of being easily killable, but i really didn't want to try it, also Jolteon was in the way to sit on the other point, so no check from going around

the best move was to make ANY other move on the side of the incoming jolteon, or managing to kill the ghastly without losing my deo, but something made me play the worst move possible, just letting jolteon walk to my entry

i really really forgot it was a 3MP figure

>>32157061
I literally just lost to a Deoxys shitter who seriously played terribly and let me surround his Deoxys A in a spot where you need fucking three (3) pokémon to surround.
I got his entry points and all he had left was Deoxys D on his goal and Deoxys S next to him, so literally the only move he could do was moving S back and fort in the same two spots.

He still won because of fucking cosmo plate.

Whoever posted the image of this team some time last week or so. Thank you. It is fun as fuck to play with.

fire team ready boys.

how long till the gym? i hate playing league matches they are too stressful. gyms are more fun because u know rank means nothing since trophies are worthless since you can only display 1 (and i already got the first place trophy for dragon gym so im done try harding)

>>32158105
Yeah I'm kinda feeling like I need the gold. And the chance at 100 power, and the para. Poison is nice though.

>>32158120
thats a massive cancer team

4th slot came from 50 bucks worth of Google play cards I received for Christmas. I have invested no real money into this. I'll feel bad for playing this deck when Reunc is balanced.

>>32158120
Eeeh? Easy Mode? How Lame!!

>>32158138
don't Ho-oh and Typhlosion basically counteract each others' abilities? Typhlosion needs figures in the PC to gain MP but when Ho-oh dies, it clears the PC.

Ho-oh is actually pretty fragile and has basically a 1/3 chance to roll its 50 power gust every time it battles. It's also got a large miss segment. So it's going to die a lot. Won't that mess with Typhlosion?

>>32158376
even when ho-oh dies typhlosion will still have 3mp because ho-oh will be in the pc

>>32158374

literal "get out of my lawn REEEE" tier deck

>>32158374
Only kids play in Easy Mode!!

>>32158390
oh right. That makes sense. I forgot about the MP buff from the gym.

>>32158409
yeah we're hoping typhlo will get up to 4mp total, otherwise he's not really worth using over other stuff

>>32158287
No.
>1MP
>THICC Withdraw
>Toxic
>Sticky Web (-1MP to opponent)
>Infestation (White that prevents an MP move next opponent's turn)
>No miss

>>32158331
Heavy golds are a problem. So Zapdos. Most gold attackers go pretty even with Kirlia so I'll go kill them with her. Against Zapdos specifically I'm best off trying to evolve one of my vibs and sniping with draco as soon as possible since I can't nail it down with arena trap.

>>32158444
draco meteor has between an 8.3 - 12.5% chance to kill zapdos

>>32158457
Never claimed it was a perfect team. At least once I have Flygon active he can't soar surround attemps.

>>32157215
Got them all in the spawn of two days during the gym event. I'd use something else but I started a bunch of weeks ago and I don't like most of my figures.

Also as you can see I have a low rank because even with the rerolls I manage to have shit terrible luck it's not even funny. Opponent lands on gold? I land on purple. Opponent lands on <50? I land on miss. I'm confused? Well time to land on 120 three times in a row so I get the miss!
If you see me don't get mad thinking you'll have a tedious fight, you have a good chance I'll fuck myself over with rng within 10 turns.

>>32158444
What plates do you use? And what's the overall strategy?
I have the same figures but only one Flygon.

>>32158246
Oh look a good player

>>32158376
fire cup makes ho-oh 3mp and fire cup makes typhlosion start with 2mp and be able to get to 4mp if 2 dudes are dead. i'm pretty i'll be fine.

i play by going for surrounds so ho-oh could honestly have no attacks and i'd still use him in fire cup because he's a 3mp with a giant rainbow wing

>>32158590
I'm predicting that Typhlosion will only get to 3 MP

>>32158562
I use two switch plates, a swap spot, a scoop and a hurdle jump. Basically your going to be playing for surrounds. The deck I took this from had a counter attack in place of one of the switches. Probably for more Shuppet cheese though I like the 2 switches since it helps me get more mileage out of Trapinch. I normally try to get a quick numbers advantage and then leverage that against my opponent. I also usually look for an easy kill/psycho with Kirlia since it handles a lot of 3mps pretty well.

>>32158579
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>32158641
And if the opponent has something slow and unstoppable. Throw Vibs at it. They will likely confuse it. And possibly make it 0 mp.

How long will you wait before you dump your gems on quad packs instead of sex packs?

Sex packs will be back, some day. Probably not until a major international holiday like Christmas or some kind of important event like a Pokemon anniversary or something. And at that time, we might even be limited to a certain number of sex packs like the most recent time.

So it makes sense to spend your gems in the meantime. When will you spend yours? When will you break?

>>32158751
About 2 months ago

>>32158751
I usually buy a quad at every new rotation unless the new figures were complete fucking shit (and so far, none have been)

Had decent luck with them so that's probably what's reinforcing it. I make sure to have a 'sexpack emergency fund' to get at least 1 or 2 of them, on hand though, should they ever reappear.

anyone else think we should be getting a lot more fucking dlc figures then 2-3 new ones every 2 months?

especially since the trading figure game already has a bunch of pokemon figures that aren't being used in duel.

pic related, already made and balanced figures the pokemon company were too lazy to add to duel

I'm actually okay if we didn't have any more garbage figures. I hate getting shit like Onix and I'm sure gonna hate getting shit like Linoone.

>>32158790
I think this is a good way of going about this. I keep buying quad packs when I can but I always try to keep around 300-400 gems just in case. I also signed up with Google Rewards and have about $5 worth of credit saved up which won't buy many gems but it's something

>>32158825
>more content is bad
you know balance is a thing right? they don't have to make them shitty. also what if we get a little cup gym type scenario where only commons are allowed in the future. dont be a fag the large amounts of figures shitty or not is what makes tcg and figure games like this work

Is there a pic of Jirachi's wheel somewhere?

Unless they make something like a discount Deo-S, they will be shit forever. Irredeemable shit. If you think overwise, you actually have downs.
>large amounts of figures shitty or not is what makes tcg and figure games like this work
Correct but in the wrong way.
A large amount of trash makes getting the figures that matter harder, which is what makes these games work.

>>32158751
do not waste 300 fucking gems on 1 ex. its absolutely retarded. your gems should be used on gyms and gyms alone, most of the best figures are R anyway

only a complete and total noob is saving gems for sextuples, its a bad way to play the game.

plus hoarding and avoiding even 4 packs when you get in the 400+ gems range is retarded. 4 packs are worth buying when new figures like reinculus/deoxys/whatever come out and hoping that sextuples come back is a good way to get your shit wrecked in the ever changing meta.

Boy, Metagross fucking shit on reuniclus teams so hard, once it's on the board, the reuniclus become a joke.
they can only kill if they roll their small hyper beam or if they confuse you first, which make it so much harder for them to do anything at all.
Same goes to a small extend for Deoxis A, roll a purple or a dodge and they just wasted a turn.

what's the best way to defend against Rhyperior? Its blue attack can't be countered (except for another blue attack) and its a fairly large segment. I can't just put something on my goal or even surround it. I don't know what to do when someone has one of these, especially when I get rushed with Shuppet and it doesn't die and then it switches with Rhyperior.

What's the best way of dealing with this thing?

Alternatively Dragonbreath. With Vibrava, you can pick your battles and your opponent will generally send a Gold like Mew or Greninja to deal with it.

that was impressive like 3 months ago.

now everyone is masters all you really need is 1 ex to get there. the way ranking works in this game because of bugbot almost gurantees that as time goes by the average playerbase VR gets higher

one time i hit 2 x70 gems in a row. i feel like the reason why i haven't hit gems in over 5 spins now is because that wasted all my luck

For Delphox's ability to activate, does it need to miss and survive the battle? or can it miss and die?

>>32164192
Either. It procs whenever a miss is rolled.

Gym when?

>>32164435
Hopefully never

>>32164435
When I get my own Moltres

>>32164435
sometime after orange boosters disappear

>>32164435
never ever

>Buy quads. Mostly garbage.
>Booster ticket. Heatran.
I think this game just likes to fuck with me.

>>32164856
I think we could see a Rock/Steel. All the other types that Steel interacts with have been used

hopefully in a week. i hate playing league matches. you get jack shit and worrying about my ranking is too stressful. the way gyms should work is every single week a new one pops up. no more of that month long wait bullshit.

>literally an hour after fire gym is announced and orange boosters come out i think to myself "i might have to buy a moltres with my 4000 blue shards" as i'm opening my first orange box

ahahahAHAHAHHAHA

i leveld up the 110 attack but im kind of regretting it since the purple could be really helpful in this current 120-130 attack power meta

>>32165148
Nah leveling up its purple is dumb. The "120 attack Meta" is literally Reun's hyper beam and Deoxys-A, plus transitory boosts like overdrive and Manaphy squads, which Crushing Flames wins against without the boost up

Crushing Flames still gets the jump on so many 100 attackers and it's useful to have increased, even if it's not a fig you use to initiate fights with often. Not just survivng, but killing an attacker trying to get you off of their entry, is huge in helping secure a win

i just had the most epic match of my life against a 2800 faggot who was running 3 reinculus, 2 deoxys speeds and 1 deoxys attack with cosmo who won the coin flip and got to go first.

pic related is my team.
he has both my points captured, i have one of his. im about to lose the game when i make a break for it with my zapdos since i managed to surround his deo A after putting it to sleep.

its just my zapdos and his reinculus, if i survive i get the surround win and if i die that turn i lose. He uses DOUBLE CHANCE and his reinculus and he has 3 of them on the field. so my fingers are crossed all i had to do was survive... AND MY ZAPDOS ROLLED A MISS.

but what happened next blew my fucking mind. his reinculus rolls 4 times every single time getting miss. every single roll was a miss. it was like fucking magic. i've never been so happy in my life i hope that piece of deo-reinculus shit broke his phone after that miracle

>>32165148
>Level up Flame Charge
>get knocked out by a Zapdos you would otherwise win against

I think leveling up the purple might be better for they gym. You could potentially stall out a turn by landing it on something like Jelly or Deo, and rush with Soar.

What should I spend my UC cubes on besdies Vibrava, Shuppet, and Poliwhirl?
