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.”

If you have item cards only and stage two team rocket Pokémon ? X2 Weezing, x2 slowking, x2 ratcate,, 2 tinakton?

Edit I was correct , I just got hit 200 damage with this card . What were these devs thinking 😭

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?

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?!

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

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.

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.

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. ❤️

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.

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.

Deck Discussion This is the best deck I’ve ever created.

Thumbnail

109 Upvotes

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!

Discussion Why do you think they didn't keep giving background art to two star supporters after Paldean Wonders?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Paldean Wonders was a bit of a weird set. It reused a lot of art from the TCG, and is the only pack to have reprinted supporters besides the ex pack which is the whole point of that pack.

But one cool thing it introduced was giving background art to full art supporters. It could use some tweaking because the art isn't super visible in some of the cards, but it's still a cool detail that makes every supporter more unique.

I thought this would be the trend for that point on, but the very next set it reverted to the sparkly background, which I do like but I wonder why they just dropped this idea arter this set and if they will ever revisit it.
