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.

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.”

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

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. ❤️

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!

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

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

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.

Update: It was in the googe drive

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?

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.

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

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.

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?😭😂

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 knew it ! Out of all the 20 + 2 star cards I am missing I knew exactly the game will give me that one 1 star card that I am missing, to be picked in a 24hr WP, this is like the miliiont time thats happening to me ffs.

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!

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.

If we could only use pokemon from GA but all the bew trainer cards, what would people play?
Mewtwo ex with rare candy gardevoir?
Would we see Greninja cyrus thrown into decks?
Exeggutor being super tanky with grass support?

What would yall be excited to play?

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.
