>Blaziken
Send help.

Worth it now to spend all my tickets?

>>33011431
Wait for the immense disappointment on the 19th.

>Sextuple has an EX rate of 10%
>Tentuple slightly knocks that up to 12.5% for 200 more gems but throws in Blaziken and Entei

That's mega jewish, but if you still need Sceptile or the SoJ it could be worth it

How are the new figs?

>>33013027
Blaziken looks ridiculously good. It completely cucks Deoxys, but Mew shits on every one of its attacks so we'll probably see Mew become even more centralized if every team starts carrying Blaziken
Entei looks decent. It's purple is kind of useless but it has good mobility due to its ability. It definitely feels like they built Entei with Flame Energy in mind.

>>33012271
I'm still surprised there isn't any price drop for buying in bulk. It's nice that the EX/R rate is slightly higher than a quad or buying one at a time but it's weird to me that you could buy four figures individually for 200 gems or buy a quad for 200 gems and only get shitty plates as the difference.

WItness me

>>33013194
Think of the better chances as the benefit of buying in bulk

Does Blaziken make Gyarados essentially obsolete?

>>33017500
Now that you mention it, Blaziken does everything an evolved Gyarados does but better. Also, just got my second Deoxys Defense but idk what to do with it bc I'm not a Cosmofag, should I just fuse it to empower another figure?

>>33018522
Deo-D is trash without Cosmo support, get rid of it

>>33017500
Na, Gary can get two figs off the board in a turn, takes at least two turns to kill (barring cyclone kick), and his purple doesn't send to the P.C which is sometimes preferable. He does have a pretty bad matchup on Blaze but you do your best to play around it. At least Gary is also 130 with Manaphy support.

>>33019434
Maybe obsolete was too much, but I genuinely think there's little to no reason to run a Gyarados if you have a Blaziken

>immediate pressure instead of waiting to evolve Magikarp
>isn't evolution bait
>isn't as much in danger of Tao Dragon or Genesect banishment as Magikarp
>you won't accidentally send your own figures off the board if your opponent catches you mispositioned
>won't get caught in a Hyper Beam loop if you're about to jump onto the goal
>despite the 20 attack, Jet Kick provides great mobility which makes or breaks matches
>not as prone to confusion
>doesn't need support from other figures to face Deoxys A because let's face it, Manaphy is a liability more often than not
>the most reliable figure to destroy Deoxys D

>>33020817
Combusken is easy to evolve too with that 33% 3 star Cyclone kick, even if you kill it the Weak Spot Kick gives you Wait 4 so you can send out your next pokemon and prevent their advance

The 140 Blaze kick, 4 star purple, 30 gold (no different than Mew, Sceptile, Empoleon) is the real beast that beats every single Deoxys

>>33020916
>Combusken
They really shouldn't have done that kind of shit on an R. Wait 4 is insane on a 60 too. Blaziken having the ability to tie Mew with such an easy evolution is also retarded. And it's going to be extra retarded in the upcoming gym. Every time they release new figures I get mad at the devs.

>>33018522
You should keep second DeoxysD in case you ever want to cheese some games with D-Cobalion-D on your goal. It has actually been used at 3k

>>33023322
Too bad Blaziken exists now :^)

only 5 more days, lads
hang in there

>>33024228
Don't expect the update to actually hit the 19th lad, the tentuples promotion lasts until the 25th

>>33024874
They announce updates 24 hours before they hit though. The update is probably related to the gyms.

bum

Blaziken or Virizion. Discuss.

>>33030773
Can't really compare them. Blaziken rapes people with brute force and ignore Magikarps all year round. Virizon is better at positioning and can still ignore Magikarps if you get set up properly. It's floating around as you please trying to get easy goal steals vs. a high chance of destroying the opponent's defenses with repeated chicken collision.

>>33025400
Hopefully so. I don't wanna grind against everyone and their Blaziken just to get a Talonflame.

Although Fletching--->Talonflame and Noibat---->Noivern would be the only reason to run Molting Energy, it doesn't even help bugs because Genesect is still the only EX.

WHY THE FUCK IS THIS ALLOWED REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>33032839
Check Fletchling's page in the material shop

>>33033224
Looks like Talonglame will only be a rare. Hope that means we get some EX cubes as gym rewards.
