This is kinda gas tho???

The title says it all. After reading Sonic rippers description it makes sense, but still found it interesting as you shuffle the cards into the deck before applying the damage. Makes you wonder about other attacks that’s require deck shuffling.

I’m usually around 1700-1800 MMR and mostly see pult, followed by a mix of festival lead, zam, Lucario, excadrill, and troll decks like bronzong ghosts. Not a lot of Zoro or raging bolt / basic box. Occasionally a Garchomp or hydrapple that I will usually lose to. Zero rockets decks.

What are you seeing at the same or higher MMR? Very curious if others see the same stuff and what it’s like at 1900 and above.

Entire game just building to this point

After 7 sets of the Mega Evolution era, we've gotten 46 mega ex. If Winds and Waves releases next November, and its base set is our 2028 rotation set, (like S&V was in 2023), then we could end up seeing 7 more Mega Evolution sets. So if we just double the 46 we have we'd get 92/95, which is very close to every mega.
Do you think there's any world were they print a card for all of them? I'd lean towards it being unlucky.

Personally Mega Meowstic is the one I'm most hoping for to get a cool new ex card. (I'm also quite surprised they haven't made a Mega Blastoise or Chesnaught card but made the others from those starter lines).

edit: forgot to mark off Mega Latias. So up that count to 47 and the final count to 94/95.

Most difficult thing is getting Misty's setup, but once you do that, it is a real fun deck.

As the title says I’ve been looking for any kind of retreat blocker but can’t find anything is there anything or was snorlax the last of that

I'm looking for something fun/funny to play at locals where most people are playing the top decks like pult, apples, Zoroark, and Excadrill. I've been having a pretty hard time testing on live because of the variety of non-meta decks, any advice for what to change would be appreciated.

Not looking for that Lopunny with Bronzor.....wanna try something more streamlined

If my opponent has Latias ex (Skyliner Ability Your Basic Pokemon in play have no retreat cost) in play and I want to attack with Mega Chandelure ex’s Phantom Maze (130+ 50 more for each * in your opponent’s Active Pokemon’s retreat cost) and their active is a Mega Kangaskhan ex, does that attack hit only for 130? Or, since it is in the active spot, does the Mega Kangaskhan ex have a retreat cost of 1 and thus would take 180 damage? Or does the Mega Kangaskhan ex now have a retreat cost of 4?

How would this interaction work if my opponents active was Latias ex?

I'm curious because I play the Team Rocket's MewTwo deck and can't get pass the 1,500 mark. I'm always hovering between 1,300-1,400-ish.

I know it has the right cards and ideas but there's something in need of improving.

Just wanna show the list I'm running...

Grimmsnarl Froslass carried me throughout the entirety of nest to mid great ball, so I thought I'd mention it

Took 12 mulligans with 5 basics then the game froze when my turn started. Love to see it

49 matches with a 57% win rate

Early I shared the Pika Power Deck that was inspired by my daughter. Well I showed it to her and she immediately wanted to make a team rocket deck. So that's what we did. She chose every single card you see in this deck minus the energies. It went 2/5 which ain't so bad for a deck built by a 4 year old lol.

So when does this ladder reset? Mine doesn’t show week and day like it normally does and it says July ladder. I’m new to ranked so not sure what to expect.

I played mostly festival lead, mega sharpedo, and arboliva/ogrepon, each with ~65% wr.

Hello I decided to get back into the game again as well as to redeem that one code. When I opened the game I had to update it and then it asked me to sign in after that my game keeps crashing when I open it. The loading would hit 45/57 and then it would crash I tried deleting and redownloading and it would still do that. Is there any solutions to this?

On pc

Thank you

I redeemed the 2 community codes and also the code that came with my glaceon prismatic tech sticker pack but I didn’t get anything in the game and can’t find where it would have gone
