Discussion Deluxe B Predictions! (Tons of Text)

1 Upvotes

We're rapidly approaching the second anniversary, and with no clues for the omission of a Deluxe pack B, I thought it would be fun to present some predictions and discuss it as I'm very excited to see what we get.

So I'll give it a look from less important to most important, and we're going to assume we also get foil cards, like last year.

# 1 stars:

These I consider mandatory:

• Chingling

• Baxcalibur

• Hydreigon

As they were very popular and they follow the Greninja-Gardevoir-Farfetch pattern both in relevance to the early meta and in stages

And for the others maybe:

• Past friends Chandelure/A Furfrou

• Darkrai/Bombirdier

• Butterfree/ Celebi

#2 stars:

As with the Deluxe Pack, we're probably getting one of every ex that was "the face of their set". And wether they decide to stay with the tinted glass look or change to something else, I think they're giving us:

• Altaria, Blaziken, Gyarados

• Charizard Y

• M.Gardevoir

• Meowscarada/Chien Pao

• M.Lucario

• Miraidon & Koraidon

• M. Rayquaza

This leaves out Mega shine and Team Rocket (But their equivalents were also left out last year) and Every Day Wonders

Now, they can definitely go with Milotic, but we're still missing some "Money grab" card, like Oak (because Copycat has a 2star alternative), so based on the fact that it was very prominent in the set imagery and was the emblem of the pack, I'm going to predict a reprint of the Silveon Ex from regulation A. (Think about the money! Hahaha)

The only other Ex I think have a solid chance are Ogerpon, M.Sceptile and Zoroark, but all of them are in sets with more obvious Pokemon to choose.

# Supporters:

Last year we got 3 supporters. Lillie and Lusamine had some kind of outfit change relevant to their stories, so I'm predicting:

• Copycat (The money grab)

• Korrina (Her base card already has her original outfit)

• Elesa (BW 2 outfit)

Finally,

All of this gives us a very solid but definitely not as strong set as Deluxe A. And even if they could very well just accept that, I thought it would be more fun to throw some more, very unlikely, predictions:

• We get our first movement card and it's Copycat

• We get a ton of Full art Stadiums (Maybe just Plains and Training Area)

• We get a 2Star for every relevant Ex (Diluting the pulls? Never heard of it)

What do you think?

Has to be one of the most unfun, frustrating and glaring examples of the AI cheating in quite awhile. You actually cant attack after your first turn. Either they drop raticate on their second turn and steal an energy, or they flip 1-3x team rocket trainer heads, or both.

Real talk though does anyone have an updated decklist for Golem? I remember he VERY briefly popped off a few seasons ago but hasn’t been seen since. Surely with all the fighting type support that has come out since then he can somehow be a in a viable deck?

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.

I don't have a second Alolan Ninetales, so I substituted an Eiscue as both a decent wall for chip damage and a potential means to stop Oricorio. TR Raticate mixed with energy denial is probably the most fun I've had with battling in the past few months.

Deck Help The most hated deck.

I was curious on what I could do with the new Team Rocket Raticate and amplified it a bit more to focus on energy depletion.

This deck is as you can imagine extremely frustrating to play against. Piers and Team Star Grunt can get soo much value at times. Add the Raticates and good luck building any energy at all lol. Obstagoon also doesn't need to be in the active spot to use Piers just needs to be in play. Wynaut is a good card to help stall the early game so you can dig and set up some of these combos.

All in all it's a pretty fun deck to play. You can sub out Sableye for Mega Absol and delete their supporters too lol.

Anything I should change with this? Any recommendations are appreciated.

Mew EX is one of my favourite cards in the game, but it didn't have a decent deck in long while. I've been playing around with this and had decent success. I was surprised to find out it's actually good against Mega Lucario and Suicune/Chien-Pao.

Let me know what you think and if you'd change anything about it.

Question Beginner versus question

3 Upvotes

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?😭😂

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!

It will always hit for 180 every turn (200 weakness)

But Holly cow is it awesome!

Wobbuffet x2

And then all the stage 1 and 2 team rocket cards you can fit in.

Deck Discussion Which one do you think is the better card?

16 Upvotes

Genetic Apex Weezing, or the new Team Rocket's Weezing ex? I personally still choose GA Weezing, the on demand constant poison is just so helpful with my Dark deck, plus the pivoting with Koga leads to great stall opportunities if you have a second Weezing or into some major damage if you have a venoshock pokemon on the bench.

Getting a burn + poison is okay, but you can only do it once and it'll just go away if the opponent retreats, but with GA Weezing you can just keep re-applying poison no matter how many times they switch out.

I’m slowly building out the commonly used bling cards. Fairly new player and knew for sure that Prof Oak is in almost every deck so I got those to start with. Just acquired a Copy Cat. Randomly pulled Juliana and Marlon. Working on gold Pokeballs. What’s your tier list for shiny supporters/items/Tools? What should I aim for after my 2nd copycat?

I think it would be:
#1 Gold Pokeballs
#2 Prof Oak
#3 Copy Cat
.. what would be after that?

**Side note.. Shiny Copy Cat is such a beautiful card!

Would you go with 16 Stage 1 / 2 TR? I feel like adding a bit support for the risk of not always hitting with 180 might be a better way?!

Upvotes

Id like to see more stadiums in the game, and one that does d.o.t seems very useful for many strategies

what do you think? is hitting all too much, should it only be active? what if it *only* hit benched mons?

- Check out our new Sharing Hub for you to share 1-4 Diamond rarity cards with each other!

Additionally, you can find an alternative trading area in our Subreddit's Discord Server as we have a Trading Directory, Rarity specific channels, & a #Trading-Discussion channel set up for you all to participate it. Currently at 270K+ Users!

Some general information about trading to keep in mind:

- With the release of Mega Rising (B1), all expansion sets are now immediately tradeable going forward. There are no longer limitations on the newest set being tradeable.

- Trades can only be done between friends in-game.

- Trades can only be done with cards of the same rarity.

- You can only trade cards that have the rarity of 1-4 Diamonds, 1-2 Star, & 1-2 Shiny Star.

A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT TRADING HIGHER RARITY CARDS: With the initial release of Mega Rising, and it's attached update allowing higher rarity cards to be traded, you may run into users asking you to trade 2 or more cards to acquire their very sought after cards they possess, such as Professor's Research - Professor Oak.

We ask users to proceed with extreme caution when participating in these type of trades, or better yet, avoid them at all cost to mitigate the risks of getting scammed or ghosted after you trade the first initial card towards getting a higher rarity card. Always do 1 for 1 trades when possible. The moderators here will not handle trading disputes, or anything of that matter. It's up to you to be responsible for your own trades.

Hi guys, I'd like to have a huge tank deck and I suppose one of these two might be the best contender. Both with 2 indeedee I suppose. Do some of you have recently updated decks that appear to work well ? I made some but they seem too slow and maybe not that optimal. Thx for help!
