My gf and I bought one of each of the new tins released today and made this deck. I wanted to see what you guys thought and if there is any way to improve it. I was also thinking of pairing Bulu with Lurantis GX

>>
>>32565168
Bulu belongs as a one of in Lurantis-GX decks, Koko should exist in his own deck.
>>
expanded tapu koko is so fucking good, this deck will be a fucking terror at worlds with acerola and ssu back in standard.
>>
>>32565007
Not really, Hex Maniac & Silent Lab can help, but for the most part you just accept your autoloss.
>>
>>32565362
Except for the fact that Tapu Bulu isn't fire weak and can OHKO both babyvolc and volc-EX. That matchup is no longer an autoloss, though it's still volc favored ofc
>>
Volcanion is overpowered.

>Basic
>Give support of at least +60 on every attack

>>32565423

>>
>>32565392
true that. I know it's not legal yet, but only getting to later posts in this thread I even knew you could get it in the client.
>>
>>32565423
it's a legendary pokémon, of course it's overpowered. However it is also very fallable. Ability lock fucks it. Item lock the same. Hell so does attacking it's energy if you are smart about it and let them put it in the wrong place before you push to discard. Water weakness considering there are a few Tier 2 & 3 Water decks around.

It will forever be a almost-deck in competitive terms. Never truly the King. That's still a pretty good fucking card though.
>>
>>32565223
It's actually been working pretty well right now. If I can get vikavolt out in the first few turns things go pretty smooth. The only thing that worries me is that this deck goes through energy pretty fast. I'm looking to make lurantis too but its fun making my own rogue brew and have it succeed.
>>
>>32565457
Still highly experimental

https://pastebin.com/ekkx4GYV

Card counts are kind of suboptimal. All I know for sure is the only things that give me any problems are silent lab and Wobbs, Wobb can be worked around with Lele > Lysandre, lab is more annoying but most of the decks that run it get shit all over by tapu thunder.
>>
My Lurantis deck's only problem is I continuously draw all stadiums within 10 or so cards, making me never able to set up consistently.
>>
>>32565423
found the owlshitter
>>
>>32565633
This game is so blatantly rigged. There is no way I cannot find one of my 9 energies in 30 cards, there is no way I draw stadiums 2-3 at a time, there is no way I always go second, there is no way I always start my single Bulu, then watch as my Olympia is prized.

Just fucking once I'd like a fair shake.

Played Despair Ray Gardevoir when Steam Siege released. Stopped playing entirely just before the following set. Is it still viable, or has it been improved at all by the new stuff?
>>
>>32565908
it's worth a solid one pack.

>>32565923
Yes. If you want to do a water turbo style deck just try Huntail PRC, it's far less janky.
>>
>>32565924
It's been on life support since Tauros-GX came out, it has to commit too hard to OHKO it and it can't really trade with it at all. It's still a thing in expanded but I almost never see people playing that deck in standard anymore.
>>
If I Ninja Boy into something, does that count as it entering the board fresh, or does it keep the turn count of the old Pokemon? For example, can I Ninja Boy into something, then evolve it in the same turn?
>>
>>32565993
When you start judging/TOing, one of the things experienced judges always tell you is "rule one: if in doubt, read the card". It sounds obvious, but it's amazing how many answers it provides. Don't want to be condescending, it's just an all-round good tip.

>Choose 1 of your Basic Pokémon in play. Search your deck for a Basic Pokémon and switch it with that Pokémon. (Any attached cards, damage counters, Special Conditions, turns in play, and any other effects remain on the new Pokémon.) Shuffle the first Pokémon into your deck.

>Turns in play
>>
>>32565924
Viable but hurting.
Dropped a good tier in SM when Tauros GX started showing up in 70% of decks (Dropped another Tier when Garb became a thing).
So now it has a metric shit ton of unfavourable match-ups, but at the same time, it still doesn't have a tiered weakness-autoloss outside of the occasional rogue Solgaleo or Scizor or Metagross that no-one in their right mind is bringing to a RL tournament. If you play on the client it is a little less good than it was but still fine most of the time. In RL it is no longer in with a chance to outright win a tourney.

However it also picked up a few tools the same way every deck did. Field Blower stops old-Garb dead from blowing her the fuck out. And Choice Band means you can actually counter a Tauros by killing it instead of attempting to Lysandre around it. Additionally with Choice Band, a lot of decks that had Tauros auto paired with Belts now go for Bands which puts it into OHKO range which is exactly what you needed. So big dip in viability during SM, slightly better now that GIR has dropped. Still not Tier 1 any more, but not terrible.

Also Rescue Stretcher is good for all sorts of things like retrieving a Dragonite.
>>
>>32565923
Primarina no. Archie yes :|
Just not enough self-discard around to make it work. You can try a janky Lele into Archie but it's hit-and-hope 50/50 of the time, instead of the 80% that Battle Compressor used to allow.
>>
I haven't been to my locals in about a month or so, and the main decks I saw around there were Mega Ray, Xerneas Break/Mega Garde, Mega Mewtwo, and Turbo Dark. How fucked would I be if I tried to build Darkrai+Solgaleo
>>
>>32566485
depends how good you are at shuffling my friend.

but pretty bad, that deck is the definition of jank, it's only actually faster than turbo/dragons if you use both solgaleo and dragons to attach all 4 DDE on the same turn, but having that much going on in a deck is asking for a brick.

Also, Megagarde PRC is basically dead, Xerneas BREAK/Dragons and Xerneas BREAK Turbo are more common for that niche. Mewtwo is LITERALLY dead, the garb matchup is fucking unwinnable. Megaray is still alive but will probably not survive the worlds meta, the new Weavile and Necrozma both fuck Rayquaza's draconic boipucci raw. Volcanion also gets fucked by Weavile, but we'll have the ridiculous meme of fire turbo with Kiawe/wish baton by then so it won't be that big of a deal.

>>
>>32566570
strictly inferior to using crimson dive zard since you can put a protection cube on it if you bench it via Ho-oh GX

It'll still be kind of hard to pull off consistently in standard, in expanded that deck will be incredibly annoying....

Except for the fact that it's an auto loss against Sylveon-GX since Charizard will be benched for a turn after you use Ho-oh to bench it, and you can just Prayer-GX it off of the bench.
>>
And what's the probability of Mulligan when you have 7 basic pokemon in your deck? Because I ALWAYS mulligan. Once every 4 games I get 4 or more mulligans.
>>
>>32566665
Heat typhoon zard doesn't need Ho-Oh or protection cube, you put zard EX down first turn, Kiawe it, evolve it next turn while putting the spirit link on it at any point before Kiawe/evolving it during either turn. Running a fliptini practically guarantees hitting for 200. Crimson dive zard attacks turn 3 at earliest, I'm certain that a heat typhoon deck can consistently hit for 200 on turn 2.
Granted Sylveon GX is an autoloss and Lapras isn't much better, but this is still an enormous shot in the arm.

Could anyone recomend me a good site that talks about current meta decks, countering meta decks, and possible future meta decks?

I like pokebeach their articles go into great detail on why X counters Y but they just don't update often.

Also when the next cycling of sets in standard will Viaplume go away? Or at least the damn auto evolution stadium? I am really getting sick of that little dill weed. Garb and Wabba are easily counterable but that shit turn 1 is just not really a game anymore because all you are doing is pretty much making your opponent not play the game after you used all your items and set up before they could respond.

>>32567903
Play the online game.

You are looking at free content, then by buying codes you can build just about anything you want.

Wait for the next set to release so everything is at a low and new packs are high.

I only know FA prices but an going at an estimate of 6ish% of an FA I would say:

60: 15 for shamins and leles
40: 20-40 for all the staples you need for the deck you want to make.
10: for a playset of core trainers that you dont have from them just giving you the free content

It will take a bit of trading and knowing prices but you are looking at about 100ish American dollery doos for an online deck vs 200 in real life as >>32567912 said but he didn't include the core pokemon for your deck.

But here me out. The pluses of online are so great.

Poorfag and ptcgo only here. Is entry fee a thing for rl events? Official rules state this is in discretion of organizators, so what do you meet more often? Free admission or not even hidden jewing? Paying for venue like hotels doesn't count, I mean pay to play.

>>32568254
Leagues are usually £3-5 ($5-7) in my experience. Some places will just give you a booster for turning up, so it's basically buying a booster for the right to play, others will just give prizes to the people who win.
Regionals vary hugely. I've seen them as cheap as £10 ($15) and as expensive as £40 ($60).
Internationals is like £50 ($70) or so?

US do tend to have cheaper prices than UK though
>>
>>32568254
Most leagues around me don't have an entry fee. There's even one store that gives store credit for top 4.

As much as I want to agree with you, it's the same way in a competitive setting too.

If I accidentally mess up the order I want to do things in physical, I have to fucking deal with it.
Like if I announce an ability but I actually meant to do it later, I have to do it when I announce it. In fact if you announce an attack that you don't have the energy to actually do despite being able to do another attack then your turn ends and you don't get to attack.

Fucking sucks but you have to learn to sequence better or play better.

Honestly, if you're looking for content youtube is honestly better.

There's more analysis and thoughts, and also you get direct input from players who compete on a fairly high level.

Tablemon, Omnipoke, and ChaosGym are probably some of the best content creators out there.

TeamFishKnuckles isn't bad either but he's more fun than absolute top level.

>>32569224
Take out weakness policy, you're trying to tech for a matchup you can't ever win anyway assuming this is for Deciplume. They'll item lock it before you ever draw it meaning you'll rarely ever have it be relevant and if this is for Lurantis they can just Field Blower it off if it's not item lock.

-Super Rod, +Rescue Stretcher

Eh, those are the immediate changes I would make.
>>
>>32569220
Wouldn't that kind of rotation just make expanded a slightly larger standard?
>>
>>32569160
I think the attack is ok. Slap on a fury belt, use the conservation area for more defense, and pair with lurantis you could have [spolier] a shitter Golipsopod that hits for 80 a turn.[spolier]
>>
>>32569267
that's pretty much what expanded already is. I hope they never rotate expanded but rather just ban cards that become problems. Archeops should have been banned awhile ago since it just locks every evolution deck out from playing the game.

tfw you just reorganized your entire collection, childhood and adult, and it fits perfectly in the tins/boxes you just bought

Koko tins - Old commons/uncommons from base to around neo-disco, one is just grass, one is colorless and water, one is fire/psychic/fighting and one is electric/trainers/extra energy

ETB - 15 of each basic energy plus all of the useless BW-on cards I have in a giant unorganized stack, play peripherals

Small black box - Japanese cards

Pokeball binder - Rares

Shitty red C-ring - useful trainers and commons/uncommons

Literally stinking meta. But I'm ok with Garbodor, despite this pic shows things even worse than Yveltal spamming everywhere.

>>32571161
Plume and forest are AOR ones, not sm, to be exact. Maybe we can say pre-rotation era gave a birth to cancer decks, not full sm one strictly.
>>
>>32571161
Deciduplume had a brief surge but as time went on it fell off from 'the' meta deck to 'a' meta deck.

At no point did it take more than 1/3rd of top 8 placings.

I can't recall exact numbers but I'm pretty sure it did.

It was basically most of the meta in Australia and had a good chunk after that.
The meta was basically Deciplume or have a good matchup against Deciplume during the last few months of SM.

Hey guys I'm a fucking dumbass who's too fucking new and stupid to build an actual deck.

Anyone give me a decklist of Sylveon cancer that'll break all the little kids at the local tourney in half and I'll give him 4 Guardian Rising code for the online game. Just put a throaway email in your post or something.
>>
>>32571520
Look up teamfishknuckles on youtube.

Basically copy his decklist and you have a passable Sylveon decklist. You can change a few cards as you want but the decklist is pretty decent as is.

Alternatively you can try tablemon's decklist but I feel like it's probably not as good.

It should be evolution only, not basic only, why the fuck would you want to punish evolutions even more and promoto more basic EX spam cancer?

What's the point of going first when you can't put energies because they're going to team flare grunt you and you can't setup your hand because they're going to N you
>>
>>32571745
If they flare grunt turn one then they're wasting a supporter per turn. The real risk if putting a special energy on turn one and they happen to have a enhanced hammer in their starting hand because fuck you.

If they're N'ing you when you've played your hand out then it's usually to your benefit.

Going turn 1 is just more useful nowadays because it prevents shit like your opponent hex'ing you first turn with Lele and also it lets you get first attach or to evolve first which is good shit.
I get this is probably more of a salt post but whatever.

Two TCG Leagues have opened near me in the last few weeks and at both of them, I've met at least one new player who's told me that Sycamore and Ultra Ball are bad cards because you have to discard cards for them, so then you can never use those cards.

It's impressive how consistently new players will say that. I'm not sure if there's somewhere in the rule books which implies that discarding is the worst thing you can do, or if it's just that the word "discard" sounds so negative.
>>
>>32574516
I thought too when i started until playing against rayeels players. I think because YGO anime was my first tcg experience and they always relied on luck over consistency? Idk.

My league has two people who've qualified for worlds and both of them act as if everybody else is beneath them socially as well as in terms of the game. They just sit there not talking to anyone else and don't talk at all when they have to play against you.

>>32574969
I didn't say it was impossible, just skewed. Learn to read.

Also, the Floatzel got heads continuously for around 20 turns until I decked out.
>>
>>32574925
To add to this, it really shows just how tryhard people are. It's clear I'm playing with a deck for evolutions, why the fuck did you just spend over 4 minutes on your first attacking turn for me to evolve something then leave?
>>
>>32574945
It was last printed in Fates Collide, which was early 2016.
Current rotation is essentially start of 2015 onwards, so unless they do something unusual, FC will just scrape through.

My local league leader, who only started playing a few months ago, mostly plays MtG which has much smaller rotation cycles, and he's convinced the next Pokémon one will be SM-onwards. It would neaten things up with removing EXs, Breaks and Megas, but I don't think they've ever had such a restricted format.
>>
>>32574981
>It would neaten things up with removing EXs, Breaks and Megas, but I don't think they've ever had such a restricted format.
I could see it as an emergency "we didn't balance the EX's very well" button. The evolution GX's, and evos in general, become much better without any EX's around.
>>
>>32574981
I would love to see that, but given the fact some cards specify both EX and GX, I can see them sticking around together for a little longer.
>>
>>32574973
>Statistically probable thing happens
>Complain that it shouldn't have happened
>>
>>32574964
This happens in all games with lots of chance involved. People remember clearly the times they got unlucky and generally accept any time they got lucky as "the standard".

It isn't that you weren't unlucky that time, it's that you didn't mention the times you won the initial coin toss, the times you topdecked the card you needed, or the times you flipped heads on waking up from sleep.

Also most people remember their unlucky moments as being worse than they actually were. If you run four crushing hammers in a deck and in one game, get three tails and one heads, a lot of people will grumble about how unlucky they were and remember it as missing all four.

This isn't an insult to you, it's a perception bias that everybody is guilty of.

Great numbers you have there, they sound appropriately accurate to criticize the rng.
>>
>>32575001
It was close to 20, with a margin of error of +/- 3. 17 heads is still a lot.
>>
>>32575008
So now it might have been 23 heads in a row.
>>
>>32574964
I play VGC more than TCG, it's bizarre how often TCG players get smug about how their game is all skill while VGC is all luck when this sort of shit happens.

I know that high-level decks focus on consistency, but still...

If the opponent mulligans they should let you choose between doing a mulligan too regardless of your hand or draw that extra card.

Nope, this ain't magic.

With the amount of draw support in pokemon this would highly HIGHLY change how the game rolls.

You already get an extra card, deal with it.

I really like the Naoki Saito's art.
>>
>>32575272
Compared to a game with no mulligans, drawing extra cards changes the game state a lot more than shuffling would. Especially since Sycamore and N are staples.
>>
>>32575272
This TCG has probably the easiest hand manipulation of all TCGs, letting you mulligan if the other does because he couldn't find a basic pokémon shouldn't be more different than using Sycamore/N first turn, the only difference in that in this case you won't have to stick with your literally only support mon that you'll never want to be forced to punt as active pokèmon first turn.
>>
>>32575342
>>32575272
Also I never said "I want to mulligan, specially only specific cards, like magic does", I just want a second chance when the opponent is forced to mulligan to find a basic while I can't even though I got a shit awful hand, making it even worse if after the mulligan the opponent gets a totally perfect hand to the point he doesn't even care how many more cards I drew, also because he can just N them anyway.
>>
>>32574981
I wouldn't mind it that much to be honest.

But what cards would they need in the next set for the game to still be okay?
>>
>>32575353
Magic doesn't let you mulligan specific cards, you throw your whole hand into your deck and you get a new hand -1 card. As far as I know the only mechanic they've added since I've last played is they now let you look at the top card of your deck and then decide if you want to keep your hand after the mulligan.

And sucks but like that's the nature of card games yo, they're pretty luck based at a certain point.
>>

The tins are so badly sized to store cards in, I don't know what they were thinking.
They're just narrow enough that you can't fit two side by side, and just wide enough that they won't stay upright in single file, plus the tapered ends make them bend.

Dumping them here probably won't have many people show you the pulls, the people that usually get the cards are lurkers. You can always sell them if you really wanted to.

I got one for three RS last week. No-one has bitten on that offer again, or four, or five, or even six. So god fucking knows.

>>32576996
people want of course. best bet is to send one or two each to the first five or ten emails that respond. Or just dump them and watch one hungry fast fucker take em all.

I'll take a couple if they're going. Like the other Anon suggested, 2 per person for 5 emails is pretty fair. If you go with that, [email protected]

As far as I know, the vast majority of TCGO is done server-side, including your collection, decks, unlocking stuff and running the actual games. That makes it much, much harder because you don't just have to trick your local program, you have to trick TPCI's servers.

It could be built from the ground up, but it couldn't connect to the regular TCGO.

If no stadium, then at least a delinquent.

Energy/pokemon recovery cards.

>>32576026
It'd be cool if there was a normal Wishiwashi with and effect that lets you equip said card to any other Wishiwashi on the field, and when equipped this way it counts as a W energy.
This of course doesn't count as adding energy for the turn.

This way you can easily setup a Wishiwashi GX and make it viable, and it's not even broken since the guy needs a fuckton of energies anyway.
>>
Just got done with my first online match and I fucked myself in the ass since I never got ANY fucking energy cards

how many christ fucking energy cards am I supposed to have in a deck? I have 10 right now, this is fucking ridiculous, Im literally going to put 30 fucking energy cards and Energy Retrievals in my deck. Im so fucking mad right now
>>
>every match has Shaymin/Lele
Im getting bored as fuck now, even Garbodour isnt fun, I need something new already
>>
>>32577833
Play themedecks first.

Also you need 10-15 depending on what you do.

Adding more energies is controproductive, it's better if you add tools and supporters that let you search for them, on top of Sycamore and N that let you draw a new hand entirely.

>>32577861
I just go semi afk as soon I see a Shaymin pop out because I know the opponent will play solitaire for 3 minutes at least.

The no weakness one. Or Silent Lab. Or Reverse Valley. Or Scorched Earth.
But if none of these are essential to your strategy, at least include one copy of delinquent. Otherwise your opponent will run riot.

ignore that fucking idiot, you never ever need 15 in anything. Even a turbo Darkrai deck 13 is pushing it and most people plump for 11/12. And that is a higher than average deck. Some decks just run 4 DCE and retrieval.
Most decks need somewhere between 8 and 10. Ten should be plenty, you just need better draw as suits your deck.

You can afford to have low numbers of energy cards if you have the trainers necessary to make sure they're in the right place at the right time.

Can we have a section in the general for like imgurs of meta/casual decks if someone gets bored and wants to try something new?
It'd be better than half of this thread being "Oh does anyone have a decklist for X,Y, and Z?"

I use a spicy build with Solgaleo GX and Scizor EX, Dhelmise works pretty well in it. Solgaleo+Dhelmise lets the Scizors hit as hard as possible as consistently as possible, and Solgaleo makes Lysandre less effective unless they can ohko

>>32578479

APCA only gives basics the -30 damage effect is why they don't run it. I had the same idea until I re-read it. It can work in a Lurantis GX deck, but I've never been able to commit much space to it. Sunny Day Lurantis helps it hit even harder.

Whats the easiest way to authenticate or tell if a card is a bootleg?

I'm sorting through my gen4 cards now, and a lot of bootlegs are tossed in.

I have a scale. Would that help? Should there be an average weight to the cards?

Text kerning is a huge giveaway
The texture of the cardboard
Holographics being non-holo
The card being slightly transparent under the light

Those would be dead giveaways

This game isn't very fun.

Every turn it takes 3 minutes where you get to watch your opponent autsitically play random Trainer cards, and if you win or lose depends mostly on if you've grinded or payed for better cards or got lucky.
