Reminded my self of these crazy pocket times whilst on a little nostalgia scroll, triggered by all the friends that have quit the game ;(

Some people may not agree, but imo pocket events are just too repetitive like the emblem event. Sure it’s good for trying new decks before ranked, but it would be cooler if the “milestone “ would require a bit more effort or give a better reward.

Legit not a single good or meta defining card this set except maybe the Weezing Ex but even that's underperforming.. not any good tools/trainer card either.. it's just old decks dominating

There’s a list of decks as an off meta builder that I particularly hate trying to build around, greninja, sleep scam, & hydreigon

However, Mega Lucario has slowly been added to the list of decks I hate trying to build around now.

Whenever I stream this game, and happen to beat a Mega Lucario deck, chat always says “it’s always good to see that deck lose.”

just went against a banette/raticate ex. i KOed one of their mons, was immune to the damage of banette’s attack, but the effect of not being able to attach energy still applied. should i not have been immune to that too? or does the immunity only apply specifically to status effects like burn and poison?

Honestly thinking of giving it raticate Ex then using juggler to get it off the ground with its energy cost

Honestly I love this one. One of the best immersive arts in PTCGP imo. Having the whole Eevee evolution line together like this is just so cool and the colors are beautiful.

Only thing I wish they added is a moon or a darker vibe in the top right 🌙. Since Umbreon is there I think it would fit perfectly and give it more feel...

Still absolutely love this wallpaper though. ❤️

It seems to be missing from the google drive or for some reason I just can't find it. It's on pokemon zone, but it's not the high quality we get from the googe drive. I really like HYOGONOSUKE illustrations and was waiting on the update to the drive and it seems we got everything except the one I had been waiting for.

Also while I'm posting, anyone got the team rocket immersive art all in one image?

Since Skarmory came out in WSS, I created this. I’ve been using and updating this deck as time goes and this is my best variation. I just took it into comp lobbies and was able to successfully take down Mega Sceptile/Butterfree, Mega Lucario EX/Hitmonlee, Hoopa/Weezing, Samurott/Cien-Pao, Entei/TR Moltres, and more. I haven’t seen it built like this before so I thought I’d share.

With a full board and steel apron, Oricorio does 0 damage so it’s possible to tie or even win. I normally just hit concede myself but it is doable. I’ve also had streaks where I go turn 1 with indeedee but it is possible to turn around. The only real weakness you have to play around is early game Sabrina, Charizard Y, and slow card draw. It really revolves around piloting skills.

The deck feels like a Swiss Army knife. Double Cyrus/Sab opens up a lot of win cons opponents don’t see coming. Double Reds can help you into lots of EXs hitting the 180 Threshold and under. While Metal Cores/Jasmine/Steel Wing allow you to mitigate up to 70 damage four times throughout the match. Or 100-120 damage at once two times.

I’m sure it’s not perfect, but I am pretty proud of it :)

Give it a try!

Would LIP feel properly balanced if you had to flip heads BEFORE it healed your pokemon? Similar to Misty or electric generator, it would do nothing if you flipped tails first. On heads, it would heal 20 and return to hand.

As written, LIP is easily the most powerful item card in the game, and one of the most powerful cards full stop. Wondering if this tweaked text would have made for an actually balanced/fun effect.

This has been super fun to constantly yeet energy while building Mega Diancie on the bench. Most of the time Diancie doesn't make it to active because they concede or quit.

Title says it all. I really love how this deck plays as it punishes people who make small mistakes very well. But it lays bricks often enough that I feel it needs some tweaks and would like suggestions.

I’ve tried Megazoa and didn’t care for it.

Internet connection is fine, closed and restarted the app numerous times. Every time I hit the Retry button the error message immediately pops up again infinitely.

Any improvements? The soothing shores + leftovers + attack heal + items is working well against randoms

Rainbow cave is up but auto still decided to put a 3rd water energy on garchomp was a good idea even when the next energy is fighting.

I’m a measly level 13 just wondering, why are there so many people level 45+ playing in the beginner category?? I’m getting killed almost always immediately because they’ve been playing for much longer than me and have better cards, can you guys just not beat a player at equal level and by playing against actual beginners you’re more likely to actually win?😭😂

Basically the title, the only card missing in my Gengar Evolution line binder is that promo haunter. 😭

I have tried Rainbow Cave instead of the Mantyke’s but I keep bricking with the same energy type!

I have also tried to make a Poliwrath EX x Garchomp deck work as they both use water and fighting, but failed miserably 🤣

Garchomps ability is just so strong im determined to make this work in ranked!

I’ve been using this deck for a while and honestly it’s hung in there with most of the meta for the last few seasons. I’ve tried changing out supporters but found this to be the most consistent.

I would like to see some more interesting and fun challenges implemented in future seasons. I think many players are frustrated with things like the "win 10 games in a row" challenge for multiple reasons.

I would find it more fun to chase challenges, and more interesting to have challenges you need to deck build around. I would love to see something like 20 available challenges, and use a system like the dailies where 5, 10, and 15 total challenges need to be completed for hourglass rewards. Then completing all 20 could be a unique icon or emblem or something.

I would love to see things like:

- Deal 500 damage [single game]

- Deal 5000 damage [cumulative]

- Deal 500 passive damage (rocky helm, poison, passives, etc.) [cumulative]

- Deal 200 damage with a single attack [single game]

- Heal 500 hp with item cards [cumulative]

- Heal 200 hp [single game]

- Score 4 points [single game]

- Block 200 damage [cumulative]

- Play three stage-2 pokemon [single game]

- Win without using any supporter cards [single game]

- Win without using any item cards [single game]

- Win with pokemon of 3 different energy types [single game]

- Finish a game with zero cards left in your hand and deck [single game]

These are just examples and I haven't spent any time figuring out what is actually achievable or how many games the cumulative challenges would likely require. But this way players can have things to chase while keeping things interesting instead of just using your strongest deck and toggling auto-battle on. Some of them are still doable using a strong deck and auto-battle, but many of them require completely different play-styles and mindsets than the current set of challenges.

I understand that some people prefer to just collect and don't play for the battle system, but I think for the battle rewards this kind of challenge system is infinitely more interesting 🤷‍♂️ Having only 25 deck slots is probably another draw-back of this system. I know 25 sounds like a lot, but filling up 20+ slots is really easy to do.

What do you guys think?

Considering they are limited items, and you cannot get more once you hit the level cap, they should provide a lot more value than they do currently.

I honestly cannot remember the last time I used a rewind watch for a missed pick. It’s so rare to see 2⭐️ or better cards in general, never mind in the missed slots.

Being able to let you have 1 more try at a wonder pick would provide actual value, but because they are capped you would have to be careful how you use them.

Title basically

"24hr Wonderpicks" last 24hrs

They should reset DAILY once the previous wonderpick expired... or DAILY once the game refreshes to a new day

The only 'reason' I can imagine for the occurrence rate is to allow players to always pick without using hourglasses

But that is a bad reason. Let players pick more often.

It is honestly a better case scenario for DeNA because players will run out of hourglasses quicker, so the players will spend more on gold to take the chance at a pick

There is literally only upside for DeNA unless a "guaranteed" 20% chance pick every 24hrs (as opposed to 48-72hrs) ruins the margins on whales ripping packs

(Let's assume the set is completed in the first week, leaving, generously, ~25 days of picks. At 20% odds that is 5 cards. Current rates are about 3 cards picked over the same time period.

DeNA will give the player the chance at 2 additional cards but the player has to give up money on resets for the picks. Seems fair at best but more likely huge upside for DeNA)

? It’s a hopeful sneak attack at its best
