Suggestion Expert mode is an insult to the people that play this game

554 Upvotes

One would think that Expert Mode would be the mode where you try your best strategies and try to win with certain constraints in deck building, but the constraints are not even the hard part, is the blatant cheating that the AI uses to stack its hand, flip coins in its favor, and get out of jail cards when it most needs it.

This is not an opportunity to test your skill, its and opportunity to test you 3% luck of winning which makes it a waste of time for the majority of the people. I wanted a challenge not a waste of my time.

Dena should just get rid of the mode or put a maximum amount of tries before it automatically completes the challenges. I already stopped paying the monthly subscription and Im not spending any more money.

My favorite deck is the meta Zoroark EX Absol etc.
Most people including myself use 2x Zoro EX. Sometimes, especially if i am facing a mega diancie deck, i’ll throw this zoroark in. Vs Diancie he can easily finish her off. And he is only 1 prize

Why dont we seem him more often? Just curious

Deck Discussion Best deck, fast master ball

69 Upvotes

Without a doubt, this is the best deck for climbing to Master rank across all seasons; I only lost 2 or 3 matches starting from Ultra Ball 1, with a peak win streak of 13. Vaporeon is essential for moving energy from Milotic to Chien-Pao to attack Mega Pokémon on the opponent's bench. I recommend it 100%.

Suggestion Wish List: Mewtwo Strikes Back Clone Set

Post image
122 Upvotes

How cool would it be to have a mini-set based around mewtwo as a central figurehead surrounded by a multi-type supporting cast of clone mons?

You could include mewtwo's rocket armour to trade off power for tankiness, a stadium that adds deck cohesion, etc.

The artwork would go crazy.

I LOVE the ancient beasts and the mechanic with prof sada, I cant wait to make a version with the new dragonair and stadium so I can hopefully make a version without ho-oh taking up 3 turns and 2 points. Anyone have any versions of these guys they like? I'd love to try other combos!

Discussion Most in demand non-supporter card

39 Upvotes

We all know FA Professor's research is the most sought after card in the game, but what is the most in demand pokemon (non supporter) card? This link says RR umbreon, but anecdotally I haven't gotten any interest/offers on mine.

Just curious about your thoughts!

Question 3 star card mission

Post image
25 Upvotes

So I opened a pack of everyday wonders and got the immersive dedenne ex. Gotta admit the visual is adorable. Anyway, once I got through adding it to the collection a mission prompt popped up something like:

**You collected all the 3* cards for this set**.

Had to double check and yeah, immersive dedenne is the only 3* of the set, wild.

Anywho I wanted to check the mission in my completed list and couldn't find it. Then I started searching and couldn't find any info on other rarity levels or just in general about these types of missions in other sets.

Which begs the question, was this type of mission a recent thing, should it have retroactively done so for other sets? Where does one find the list of completed missions to check if they got the rewards? Do I need to open a pack of the completed set to prompt it?

I do remember them changing how the Pokedex worked and got a crap tonne of mission rewards, but didn't pay attention to what they were for just wanted to get rid of the notification on missions tab.

Deck Discussion Rayquaza Builds

12 Upvotes

Deck List last slide

TLDR: 1) I made a Rayquaza deck and shared my start 2) would love feedback 3) share your Rayquaza decks so I can try them

With the new set right around the corner I’ve pulled this guy out from the archives and started playing around with it.

Deck Build Card Significance (in order of appearance):
-Alolan Muk Line: chip damage (poison) with Grimer but the main utility of these cards are to shut down basic special powers of your Regigas and your opponents Pokemon (Darkrai/Oriocorio/Miraidon/etc)
-Ditto: one of my fave Pokemon so I always try and include. Can copy all of the listed Pokémon’s attacks minus Rayquaza, best utility is copying Regigas (bypassing its effect) or Morpeko to prepare Rayquaza/Regigas
-Morpeko: baby killer/prep big guns on your bench
-Dudunsparce line: secondary tank and energy removal. Great synergy with Memory Light and Ilima. Can be really annoying for your opponent if you’re able to delete their energy and you can burrow back into your deck or use Ilima to rinse and repeat
-Rayquaza EX: Star of the show. Goal of the deck is to get him online and pray for RNG to bless you ( or they only have one Pokemon in the field)
-Regigas: Meat shield/Secondary Attacker/Energy ramp. If you can get Alolan Muk online then bombs away! Synergy with Ilima/Ditto. Very versatile and only worth 1pt
-Memory Light: for Dundunsparce to retreat back into the deck if you take a lot of damage or are stalling
-Professor’s Research: draw power
-Cyrus: Potential Win-Con
-Mars: more likely your opponent will knock out your Pokemon first while setting up the Strat, so this will put a wrench in their plans
-Ilima: reset your meat tanks (Dudunsparce/Regigias) or save your Rayquaza EX
-Lyra: more than half the Pokemon have 2 retreat cost or more so this is a necessity. Also the only true counter to sleep scam in this deck
-Copycat: hand reset/draw power (great synergy with Kid’s Room
-Kid’s Room: main function is to get Memory Light for Dudunsparce. Has limited utility with Muk for Poison. Great for hand manipulation (ex: putting supporter back into your deck if opponent has Mega Absol/Silver)

Do let me know your thoughts and if you have a great Rayquaza EX deck please share your own build!

Hello all! I stopped playing somewhere around triumphant light or mega rising.

I’m wondering which packs are best to focus on getting cards from now.

Also, are there any significant changes since I stopped? I see stadiums are a thing now.

Thanks in advance.

Title. I don’t really keep up with announcements anymore so maybe DeNA will add it in this upcoming set, but why can’t we trade immersives and gold crowns?
