For shining legends Raichu GX because Raichu is my favourite pokemon and turbo raichu could be a thing. I'm not a huge fan of the ultra beasts but I like Kartana GX.

You were right to censor the word "lube", you naughty boy.

Anyway, who thinks a Regi deck will end up being more than just a meme next expansion?
>>
What's the longest streak you guys had?
I had a 10 win streak til I lost to a Grass/Fairy deck
>>
>>33512834
About 12~13 with a Volcanion deck.
Lost because dead hand and a clunky kingdra deck.
>>
>>33512724

We really need to know the full set before we can say what's good or not. As it stands I'm not sure about the Regi deck. I think it's good/fun rouge but as far as not being a meme it really needs something to push it.

I still want to know what support the Ultra Beasts are getting. They all have a special "Ultra beast" tag but nothing interacts with it. Looking at the set we should have one more item card and maybe two more stadiums. We really do need some better stadiums to match Field Blower.
>>
>>33512724
I can only see Registeel as a tech in Metagross or Solgaleo to try to donk A-Ninetales and Gerdevoir. (And get free prizes out of random A-Vulpix).

Now, really, how would that deck even work?

Any stage 2 deck can get around Regice since Lele is pretty much mandatory.

Best case scenario, you reach 160 with Registeel with a bench filled with Regirock and Choice Band. Even then, you need at least 2 attachments. And that requires you to run counter energy and get behind on prizes.

If you count Regigigas, it would be easier to pull it off with ability lock than filling your bench with Guzma bait. Even then, 5 energy is ridiculous.
>>
>>33512724
100% unfiltered meme
>>
>>33512949
>If you count Regigigas
Regigigas is shit, just guys like DarkIntegral will play it for being a Regi.

I was thinking that the deck is somewhat like just play the Registeel to return energy like a baby volc and hit for 30~120 (Weakness/Band) in the early and the others guys will be doing the damage real damage (Ice/Rock/Exs/Gxs). (With 4 rainbow, 1~2 counter and the rest water/fighting)

The other way (and most common) is Registeel like the guy making damage and just attack with Regice vs a Gard/Volc fueling them with rainbow or counter. (4 rainbow, 1~2 counter/DCE and the rest metal)

One Marshadow in both decks in case of not attacking with Regirock and some Glaceon/Jolteon too.
Anyway, depend entirely of the meta and I don't think that will work much vs non weakness decks.

I really hope I am wrong and they get actual support to make the 'ultra beast' tag mean something.
>>
>>33513340
What they'll likely do is make either the hyper rare or full art versions of them part of bundles rather than in the set.
>>
>>33513340
Eh, they're all above average cards except Nihilego so far. Buzzwole is basically a better Landorus-EX, Guzzlord will wreck at prerelease and is playable as a meme, Kartana is actually pretty decent.

Nihilego could be good in a more basic heavy meta, but guzma being everywhere makes special conditions weak in general. I could still see it in expanded as a one of in some toad variants.

>Silvally IS getting toolbox support

get hype?
>>
>>33515074
Silvally doesn't even need a tool, it's already hitting 120 with its main attack.

>>33514865
Run Metal, Fire, Water, and Grass and you're covering most of the major weaknesses in the game. Assuming you run 2 of each, that's taking up eight slots which isn't too bad considering these are the only tools Silvally should be running. This can easily be its own deck with a heavy Silvally line, maybe 1 Marshadow to hit Fighting-type weaknesses easier, a few Lele, and Skyla to search out the correct tool you need. The basic Silvally that also was revealed lets you search out tools, so a 3-1 split could be used. It gets even better in expanded with Eco Arm. 240 damage on an attacker that can also setup your bench is crazy good.
>>
>>33514865
Steel and fire are the only ones that matter right now. The only deck where I see Silvally working is Volcanion EX variants. If Steel memory is printed, Volcanion might be great again.
>>
>>33515628
The Type: Null we've gotten thus far isn't that great to warrant running Marshadow.
>>
>>33514865
I see 2 problems with this. First, it should work for non-GX Silvally as well. The other:

>>33515628
>>33515982
How can we even be sure they're going to print more of these? There's no more room for trainers in SM4. Unless they print more in SM4+ or in the next couple of future sets, we only have these 2 and that's it. And while I'm at it, why Psychic and Fighting in particular? Or just those 2 for now? I hate incomplete things.
>>
>>33516376
Maybe Silvally Tin with all memories as promos

>>33516483

I like baby A Ninetales but it lacks attacking power and decks that run non-EX/GX attackers make things difficult. I'd recommend replacing 1-2 with Ninetales GX and replacing the Sandslash lines with Octillery ones instead.

>>33519376
I mean, he got a FA Guzma out of it. He's not super far behind.

And the FA Guzma guy got a FA playset of Necrozma/Metagross, so he's not super far behind either.

And the Necrozm/Gross guys each got 2 1.5 pack SR rares, so they broke even.

And the 1.5 SR rare guys got BUS packs, so they're fine too.

I hyper-swindled nobody. I'm no retail store. I just did minor markups at every step, which resulted in wait.. hold on. That means I only payed 8 for those 4 FA gross, my math was way off. 16 is my profit, not my payment.

Now I'm SUPER proud of myself, especially because I made that much profit with no sore losers.

Although they stopped doing the games right after Zexal, so there is that.

>>33520652
not that guy, but you pretty much said it, getting the right cards and all that is fun to me and many others, while also giving new players a chance of sorts and somewhat promote budget decks; it's not being defensive about it, but you like what you like. Kind of like if there's a very well-made game that many like, but if you don't really like the genre then you're better off playing something else

I found it extremely fulfilling to make a good deck out of non-meta cards and winning in Standard format, from Volcarona/Amoongus stall to Gengar evolution line/poison or even Infernape/Burning Energy decks that you'd think would suck but did well enough to climb the ladder and get more cards to make better decks.

Pikachu can actually hit 230 damage which is the magic number vs Gard GX. 4 lightning energy and 1 choice band. It can even hit 250 for the metagross and even meme deck solgaleo gx. The problem is streaming energy consistently as I have seen many players miss an energy or 2. In theory it sounds amazing. Can 1 shot all the baddies like gard gx, volc, golisopod. Personally Streaming energy is very difficult and you can easily lose missing that vital knockout. Garbotoxin makes the deck cry as well, if your field blowers get discarded or you whiff them good game.

Now the reason you are seeing them all over recently is because of Derium's youtube channel which recently showcased the Magnezone Deck. Yes people are drones and will follow the next flavor of the week. Try flipping some magnezones or pikachu exs, easy profit since they are so cheap

Another guy uses an /mlp/ mat just to annoy his opponent's, he hates the show personally.

So I say screw pretty visuals, they're frankly really generic; that's what everyone does. Go for the meme.

>>
>>33523834
Its not free attack.
>>
>>33523953
Yeah, even if we get a DDE reprint, trying to use a Stage 1 with a flip attack is a lot slower than just playing Noibat into Noivern, since with a Noibat in the active you can just Wally straight into Noivern.

I'm getting increasingly confused as to where that energy is supposed to be used.

Two of any kind, except it's only {C} when you're not behind, and it can't go on EX or GX.
It's a very specific card, and every time I think I've found it's use I actually misread it.
>>
>>33524920
Especially the {C}<->{A}{A}. Where will specifically 2 of any help where a colorless can help? Usually by the time a colorless could help you've already got all the colored energy you need, so they might as well be a DCE, because at least it stays running all the time and lets you keep momentum.

>>33525081
I think its a bit far to call Silvally and Marowak memes. Silvally will be a very versatile card especially when more memory types are released, and Marowak is already being considered a tech in Volcanion decks
>>
>>33525020
I considered using them in a Lunala deck I'm toying around with, but the fact that they revert to [C] if you're not behind means they become useless as soon as you take the lead/break even.
It's just a bad energy. I don't think it will ever be useful.

Float stone to keep the water energy on board for multi switch. Multi switch can move DCE

If you weren't so dense you'd know the toughest match up is Metagross GX, garb can be played around, especially with Alolan Ninetails GX plus I can hit for 160 which is well above 120 and I've won against every Ninetails deck I've faced, get upset - I'm still winning

You can do a better job picking apart the deck, I believe in you.

To add to that Float Stone has come in handy when they Guzma into Glaceon EX, get swept novice.

>>
>>33526737
All no, except STS Yveltal as secondary support. You're guessing the third idea. It has the same goal as meme Guzzlords, but with trainers and supporting mons, so the deck should be viable and doesn't give opp the mulligans.
Speaking of Ninja Boy, basically every pokemon with the cost of three same type energy is in need of Guzzlord's help. But you need to prepare several decks. You can't just throw all of them.

anyone have any good deck list?

I don't have a list on me, but you could look up a decklist online for Typhlosion BKT. It's not great but it's a decent budget deck and should be pretty simple to put together.
>>
currently thinking of making a buzzwole deck because it's my favorite ultra beast. Since its a basic. I think using it with silvally or lycanrock gx can be a thing. If not then straight up garbador to disable most abilities.
>>
>>33527858
thank you
>>
>>33527697
I used Drampa. Solgaleo is incredibly difficult to kill save Volcanion, and has free switching.

So if you just can't get your solgaleo up and running again before it would die to a second hit, you just swap in Drampa and keep destroying.

I used this as my base, but obviously changes have been made since then.

Also, how much are SR Ultra Balls worth? Not the classic version.

There's price guides in the OP.

Good news, Gardevoir got a GX card and it's one of the best decks in standard right now.
>Also how much are SR Ultra Balls worth?
~price guides~
>>
>>33528076
Burning Shadows are still equal to Guardians Rising if not a little less because of Lele. SM SR Ultra Ball is worth 41 of either of the aforementioned packs according to the ou7c4st website; I bet it's outdated though. Read the OP, the links are right there if the the maker wasn't neglecting his duties. You can also go to the public trades sections, unstuck acceptable only trades and search Ultra Ball, look through them and see what people are asking.

Price guides are hit and miss from my experience, it's always been more accurate for me to check/keep up to date with the market but as I haven't played for a while I was hoping I'd get information from somebody that does the same.
Gardevoir GX seems neat though. Noticed Golisopod GX too which is appealing to me much more atm.
>>33528129
Neat. I did check price guides but they've rarely served me well. I'll just look for myself when I next play. The ultra balls were marked at 37~ when I was going for them and it was easy to get them for 30. Will probably keep hold of them for some time anyway.

Hey guys, jumping back into PTCGO after a year or so hiatus.
Looking to find a competitive deck to work towards. Have heard you need 3 Tapu Lele GX. Should I just start working towards that? I have 4 Shaymin EX from when I last played.
>>
>>33528174
>The ultra balls were marked at 37~ when I was going for them and it was easy to get them for 30
Numbers displayed are averaged between selling and buying price. The spreadsheet even says as much.

How much did you sell those balls for? 44ish?
>>
lele is pretty much the new shaymin ex.
>>
>>33528795
3 is the most you will ever need. Most decks need 2 or 1.

There some other small stuff you'll want to trade out, but Lele is the only expensive.

2 FA shaymin (3 normal) can probably net you a Lele on a good day, if you have no intention of using them in expanded.

Depends on the time of day, play around 9-10AM central and most of the players are kids or people who can't build a deck properly, if you enter at 6 or 7pm central then it's Gard and Garb city.

If you're playing Theme the answer is Hidden Moon.

>all those BUS packs
>not converting them to GRI
You are like little baby. inb4 that guy with like 1700+ packs shows up
>>33529087
It's not hard. A lot of people start with Pikachu Packs and trade them off for cheap rares like Garb, Talonflame, Typhlosion, etc and then trade those for card packs (usually 2+ per pack). Then you can trade those packs for cheap EX/GX cards that are worth about 2 packs each, buying them for 1 and then selling them for 2 or 3 if you're lucky. Flip those for a while, then once you build up a big enough stock you can move up to more expensive cards. It's notf a super quick process but I've built up my stock over about a month and I even skipped the Pikapack stage by using packs from theme tournaments. Look at the value guides in the OP to get a basic idea of what things are worth, but ideally you want to be checking the trades on PTCGO yourself to see how the market looks for the card you are trying to flip.
>>
>>33529087
Well that my way there a lot of other way.

That slow tho, there probably faster way but I like that one. You can go higher that 2 GRI but for the start it's better to go slow. You need to play a lot too because each trade cost 8 coins.
Good luck!

>>33529134
>>33529138
what I don't understand is the value of pika packs, do I just trade the entire pika boxes or do I open them and trade those items for cards? and how many?

like for example
>buy 4 pikapacks in the store
>trade each of them for a talonflame with the galewing ability
wht 1 pack for just 1 card in this case, yet some say that you can get a set of 4 trainers with one pack

it's a bit confusing
>>
>>33529291
The entire box.

The cards have different value, you could try to get 2 talonflame but 1:1 is a sure bet, your not gonna wait long.
>>
>>33529291
And the pikapacks is just for getting your first GRI after that i didn't trade a sigle one
>>
TPCi has to do another print run on Ace spec cards. Expanded has a much larger presence in more regions, there is no excuse for the quality of some highly sought after and highly played cards like Computer Search. I'll pay the upwards of 30 to 40 bucks if I can get a decent quality copy.

I converted all my (18ish) BUS packs into cards because some guy a few threads back said the market was starting to crash. I bought basically 1 of anything that goes for >1 that you can still buy for 1, then either flipped them all into twice as many GRI, or into FA Metagross and did >>33519348 >>33519486. (Still looking for 1 more FA Guzma, if anybody wants to punt some fairy challenge chumps with Metagross/Necrozma.)

If you couldn't get to at least one energy from that position, you may need to rethink your trainers or number of Pokemon.

Drampa is ok, but what about mirror match with Metagross and Necrozma in place of Drampa? You'll struggle to oneshot it.
>>
>>33526998
Nigga, Metagross can't get past baby alola tales if you stop benching useless shit. The only thing he can do is hit it with metang and that takes so much time that you can guzma the fucker and kill it. Alola Ninetales suffers the most against Gardevoir because Gallade will kill it and you'll have a hard time hitting for 250 enough times to beat the deck.

>Because I've played the matchup and have struggled to get a metang running
step 1: Play brigette. You can't KO three pokemon on turn 1.
step 2: congratulations, you have not one, but up to three metang "running"
>>
>>33530973
>Up to three metang when you should only run one.
>Needs three energy to one-shot, so you either have to have perfect draws or attach an energy on turn 1, providing the opponent with a target.

That was exactly the problem. Hell, if you manually attach the energies the gx ninetales can even snipe it with the dce attack.

>>33531143

don't change this deck into normal volcanion, this is deck made to use kiawe's and lele, rainbow energy also helps you; use GX and heal, or use acerola for lele recycle+ fire energy for volcanion EX set up, altar is here to protect from volcanion EX or water types

it goes against the point of the deck to waste a turn being defensive, it's like using acerola in typhlosion

So it's outright useless against most decks, hurts you against steel decks, volc and ninetales GX one-shot you anyway, and even against baby ninetales there's plenty of ways to remove the stadium on your turn.

There's your problem. Convert that to 3 8hrs. Puts you at top of the list more often, and if it trades in the first one you don't waste an extra 16 tokens.
>>
>>33529418
Expanded is not meant to be a supported format over time. It's just there to please people who don't like the idea of their cards becoming useless with rotations.

TPCi wants to see players frustrated with expanded so that they jump into standard.

Of course, they still hold tournments so that it doesn't become an ignored format. That also ensures staples keep getting more expensive and make sealed products cheap in comparison. It also keeps the secondary market interested in the game and indirectly promoting it.

tl;dr: It will not happen.
>>
>>33532071
Pop size 60, 4 successes, sample size 6, successes needed 1 = 35.146% to prize at least 1.

6 prizes choose 5, minimum 1 success in prizes, and you need to hit one, is 83%.

So, yeah, I guess you're right it's 29% if you take into account actually missing it in those 5 prizes of 6.
>>
>>33532197
Greedy dice is a flip. So half that, it's 14.5%.
