I used to collect a long time ago, but haven't bought any cards since Black and White. If I bought a JP Sun/Moon box, I'm assuming I'd get most of the set from it minus a few rares/secrets, yeah? From what I remember it didn't take more than a box and some singles per set. If not Sun/Moon, what box would you recommend for someone looking to get back into collecting JP cards again?

>>
>>32821150
Dude you play against other theme decks to get packs and complete daily challenges.

Then you open all 45+ of those packs, plus all the things you won from versus, and make a half-way decent deck from that.
Use all the coins to enter ticket tournaments. Use tickets to get tradable packs. Trade packs for all the super good cards you need to play competitive.

>>
>>32821933

The thing about N is that it fills so many roles in one card.

They tried to give us a replacement after it rotated last time so we'll see what they do when it leaves again.

I think they think Wicke will replace it as a disruption card

There are Ns in theme. Hidden Depths has them, for instance. I just never play it because I rarely want to shuffle my hand, and rarely have more prize cards than my opponent, so both of them together means I'm typically super screwed.

Glitched Target Whistle sounds fun.
I guess there are no cards that let you put opponent's Pokémon into your play area for fear that they would get mixed up?
>>
>>32823113
I would love a cockatrice/xmage/untap.in for Pokemon, so I didn't have to spend like 2 months earning all the cards for a neat deck I'm gonna decide doesn't work nearly as well as I thought it would after like 10 matches.
Whole reason I use showdown is that it makes a lovely instant testbed for teams that take a while to form.

So please, yes please do this thing. Closest thing right now is like... tabletop simulator.
>>
>>32823305
I thought there was already an unofficial TCG Online clone that did give you all the cards, but nobody used it because nobody else uses it so you can never find a game?

Alright guys, I'm looking for the best deck to grind the ladder. Not really looking for consistent wins so much as fast wins and/or making my opponents want to concede.

I'm tempted to go back to vileplume lock, but the garb matchup is horrible if I want to keep any speed.
>>
>>32825134
With the new streak system you are best off going for consistency since you'll get the streak bonus and therefore climb the ladder more quickly if you can string even four or five wins in a row together. It's something like, you get ten points for a win, plus an extra five for every game in your streak. So five wins in a row means you've earned 10+15+20+25+30 = 100 points, instead of ten first turn wins over the course of twenty matches.

If you're still just looking for quick and easy just play Typhlosion updated with a Mallow engine. Or something that's easy to autopilot in the background like some Darkrai deck.
>>
>>32823671
>infinite damage possible
>one energy
>basic so only one prize card

you are the down syndrome, it's a perfectly good basic pokemon card

Trading 2 Fighting Fury Belts for 2 Umbreon GX would be a good trade right since they both are in the same price range I just started and am trying to get this card trading down
>>
>>32825498
Sure, sounds legit.
>>
>>32825498
That's about right, I'd retrade those Umbreons for a few packs, most EX/GX get you at the minimum a pack of Evolutions
>>
>>32825625
Thanks I'll keep that in mind but I'm really trying to make a Dark type deck
>>
>>32825656
It doesn't matter what you're trying to make, acquire any type of pack and you can use those to trade for the packs that have what you want or for singles to finish off the deck

I'm surprised I've never seen that card used before. Seems a fun idea.

>>32827677
It's really fun! I tried to get Noctowl to work before Guardians Rising but it wouldn't, but now that we have Bewear, it really helps in getting huge hands of items for damage
>>
>>32827687
There are a couple of people at my local league who use the Item Lock + Trevenant deck. It would be fun to turn it against them.
>>
>>32827781
Gotta be careful though, this deck runs a lot of items so it counters item lock when your set up, but if you're not you get a lot of dead draws
>>
>>32827677
You can run it with Garbo I think, you first scare them by setting Garbo up in the bench, as soon they stop using tools and start accumulating their hand, you punish them with the owl.

I have probably over 300 of these online cards from packs accumulated over the last few years. Are they worth anything? Codes from everything from breakpoint to breakthrough to random starter decks purchased to guardians rising. I just hoarded them because I couldn't bear to just toss them, and all my friends would collect them for me because they didn't want them and knew I had them. Probably over $3000 worth of packs here.

Do any of them expire/become worthless, and are they worth anything at all?

A lot of the old theme ones could be pretty valuable, some of them are powerful and people will pay to have an easier time in theme.

You can sell em on Ebay if you want, the going rate for Sun/Moon codes is like $33 per 100 last I checked. The value will depend on the specific codes but if you bulk them up and put them on sale you could easily net $100+, most likely more.

>>32832835
You'd think they could've made the first attack 40x or 50x since it's only counting its own energy. Needing six energy to KO even a standard EX is pathetic.

Doesn't SM-3 have a psychic energy support or did I dream about that?

I just started and I'm learning how to build a deck so I just threw one together to get a feel for it so I wanted to know is this how one is supposed to look like
>>
>>32834596
that's 30 damage and a confuse, what was so scary?
He had type advantage and plenty of chance to draw more benched even if you had killed.
>>
>>32838856
Cut the Shaunas, Tiernos, and Stevens. Add 4 Sycamores or 2 more Junipers.
>>
>>32838896
how do you decide?
>>
>>32838904
You can't have both Junipers and Sycamores in a deck, that's how.
>>
>>32838969
No, I meant between the different kind of draws/fetches?

Why go 4 "Discard hand Draw 7" over 1 "draw 3"+ 2"support+energy" and 2 "shuffle hand draw 4"?
>>
>>32838893
Send out lapras, 160 damage. He had nothing on the bench.
>>
>>32839090
Because when you need something you want the card that digs most deeply for it.
>>
>>32838856
As >>32838896 said. I'd also reconsider Weakness Policy with Field Blower being so prevalent right now, since they can just blower it off before attacking. Might also consider adding a third N if you can, good for draw power and disruption. You'll likely never need more than one Pokemon Center Lady. If you have any Vs Seekers, add those. If not, they're rotating out of standard format in a few months, but will still be perfectly useful in expanded, which you're looking to be playing with this deck. I'd also suggest adjusting your energy ratio, since you're not likely to have more than three or four of each in play at once. I'd go for a 6/4 split of water/dark personally, you don't want too much energy in a deck because you can only play one per turn, so the more you have, the more likely you are to wind up with an unusable hand full of them.

>>32839090
More aggressive draw support is more effective. You've got multiples of each card, so losing one or two isn't the end of the world. Plus you've got options for reliably pulling cards from your discard, Fisherman, Vs Seeker, Rescue Stretcher.
>>
Spent $120 on a deck I can't even fucking use because my work is now the same time as my locals. Should I keep it or sell it?
>>
>>32839178
Find another job.
>>
>>32839090

Draw cards are measured by how many cards they cycle.

So Tirno draw 3 has a cycle of 4 (Counts it self and the three you draw) Sycamore has a Minimum cycle of 8 making it at twice as good. Discarding cards is not always a bad thing. There will always be things that you don't need in a game such as extra energy, pokemon, or tech for other match-ups.

Shuffle draw is for when you can't discard resources in your hand: cards that you need. It has far less Cycle than Sycamore but it's important to have. N is the best Shuffle Draw by far since it also acts as a disruption ca rd late game. Hala or Colress are the other playable shuffle cards.

Search Cards (Fetches or Tutors) are only as good as what they can find. They're good for decks with lots of moving parts where you need to pull of a combo rather then having more options.

It's hard to know what to do at first but there are enough resources for this game you can read up on it if you want.

Gotcha. "Discarding nice things in your hand isn't a problem when you have way to get them back."

Thank you wise anon.
>>
>>32839316
The fucked thing is that items can be more important than any other card because they're the only cards which can't really be recycled.
>>
>>32839374
as in like, tools, or as in non-support trainers?
>>
>>32839183
No, because it's a entry level career job, I need this. Plus nowhere else hires here.
>>
>>32839384
The latter. There's Eco Arm for tools for now, but that'll be rotating out of Standard this year. Otherwise, short of Puzzle of Time, Milotic from Primal Clash and soon Gardevoir-GX there's not much that can pull an item out of discard, which is a big part of what makes Garbodor from Guardians Rising such a threat right now.
>>
>>32838896

Thanks for the advice I'll go back and see if I can polish it up a bit

>>32840267
It's in a water deck, it's a splash just for having something for Tapu so I will have to actually search for the card. I mean this is just a fun golduck deck. I think I might just do 1-1.

so it's a way to make your golduck a fire/water?

Forgive me if my translation is off but i think its something like
"Attach one basic energy from your hand to one of your Grass, Water, or Fire Stage 2 Pokemon"
>>
>>32840437

that would be really, really bad for a supporter.

It's barely even playable as a regular trainer. Can't even think of a deck this would be played in

>>
>>32840454
it makes sense as far as flavor goes
but yeah, really bad
>>
>>32840435
Yeah. Flareon makes all stage 1s a firetype. There is a Vaporeon and a Jolteon who do the same thing, but Golduck is already water and nothing really in the meta is weak to thunder so there is no real reason for them.

If I have Golduck in play he can 1 shot a Bulu or Lurantis with 2 energies in hand. Hopefully with Starmie on the bench this wont be hard, which I am running 2. I am just not sure what would make this the most consistent. That being said I am running a few rescue stretchers so really discarding either wont be that bad.

I mean this deck will suck, but it's for shits and giggles.
>>
>>32840326
Attach a basic Energy card from your hand to 1 of your Stage 2 [G], [R], or [W] Pokemon.

>>32840400
[R][C] Ember: 50 damage.
[R][R][C] Fire Fang: 100 damage. Your opponent’s Active Pokemon is now Burned.
[R][R][C] Brave Burn: This attack does 150 damage to 1 of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon. (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack a game.)
>>
>>32840507
Actually I can 1 shot a Bulu with 1 energy in hand if golduck has a choice band on him.

So Shining Legends looks pretty garbage in terms of playability so far. Warp energy might have some niche use, but I can't see anything else shown so far making waves, except maybe Shining Mew.
>>
>>32840583
Honestly I think that's why everyone thinks it's a bad deck, but there's randomly like 3 people in the general who do nothing but win with it.

>>
>>32849085
No it isn't, I've tested a hundred flips in theme on Timer Ball and I got 27 heads. I go first one in every 5 to 10 games. I quit using any deck with hammers because I never hit them, and I started running Carbink in decks that don't need it because I get hit by hammers more than half the time. I never play Expanded or Legacy any more due to Laser never keeping them aseep and me staying asleep more than 50% of the time, forcing losses and very often turn 1 donks due to me starting a 30-60 HP basic, going second, getting laserbanked and staying asleep, and not being able to do anything. I can semi-accurately predict what a game will be like solely from my first 7 cards, without even seeing my opponent's start, because I've seen the game recycle the same forced bricks while giving my opponent everything they need that turn that I can tell when I'm not allowed to win.

Shit gets so fuckng boring, especially if you play with real cards against real people and know just how awful the client screws players. It's not even worth getting mad over, it's just a shitty client that will never get fixed.

They'll do it just fine! My getting to complete a match 1. lets them have a chance to maybe get some KOs back (which is also good for versus points now), and 2. has no bearing on the results of their next match.

Just stick the rest of the match out! If it really is a roflstomp you're not gaining more than like 30 seconds, and if it's not then you can get some KOs for your own quests and points, not to mention might topdeck a comeback. I know I certainly have before. Meanwhile you're not screwing anybody over.

I wonder how bad anon's ELO must be if he's only ever getting paired with guest and brand new players.

I was originally hoping to use it for trade, then saw that Evolutions was only worth 0.25. So here. Nothing useful, I guess that's why it's so cheap.
>>
>>32849664
Cool
>>
>>32819641
if I'm gonna buy packs, buy Roaring Skies and hope for LeLe, or Guardians Rising and hope for Shaymin?
>>
>>32849725
Go for Lele, Shaymin is already falling out of favor for it, and will probably be almost completely dropped by the time rotation hits, and will probably be available for a much lower value in trades.
>>
>>32849664
Huh. Between the reverse foil Koffing and the Zapdos I nearly doubled the value of that pack by opening it.

Kinda sad.
>>
>>32849725
>>32849774
And if I were still stuck in theme, would it be worth to buy one of the OP mentioned decks if I already have 4 to complete the trainer challenge gauntlet with? Or should I stick with getting packs unless I specifically need something out of them?
>>
Do energies rotate? Like, if I got one of the roaring skies decks for it's double dragon energy, would I have to worry about that rotating out when roaring skies does?
For that matter, though I doubt it, do basic energies rotate? I've noticed the client making distinctions between them, and the only reason I could think for it doing that is either cosmetics or because you have to use basic energy from only sets in standard.
>>
>>32849805
Sure, theme tournaments are the easiest way to get more tickets, and standard/expanded tournaments are the best method for quickly acquiring tradeable packs.

>>32849958
Basic energies don't, special energies do. So unless DDE gets a reprint (which it probably will do, given the dragon-type GXs) it's gone. There was a good number of years where Double Colorless was out of rotation.

>Jirachi-EX that it has rendered fully obsolete.
Jirachi is still used in some decks for more consistency. It can be searched by levelball.
