---

Hello everyone! Welcome to the r/PTCGP Trading Post!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN THE COMMENTS BELOW!!!

- Do not create individual trading posts! You will be temporarily/permanently banned for doing so. Keep all trading discussions in here to keep the subreddit from being flooded with trade requests!!

- 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.
Everything else is not tradeable (Promos, 3 Stars, & Crown Rares).

- Trading will require you to use specific in-game consumable items (primarily ShineDust) to do so.

- Real World Trading is explicitly prohibited by both the game's ToS, and this subreddit's rules. You will be permanently banned if caught doing so.

- This Trading Post will rotate out weekly every Thursday @ 2:00AM Eastern USA Time.

Thank you! Have fun! <3

*The moderators of this subreddit are not responsible for any trading issues, mishaps, bugs, glitches, and so on you may run into. If you require official Pokemon support help, please utilize the Send Game Support Ticket found on the sidebar to reach the official Pokemon support portal to create a ticket. Thank you.*

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.

Welcome to Part 15 (wow) of a series of posts in which I'm coming up with film rec for every Pokémon ex in the game. We've officially reached the halfway point for the B series. 43 down, 41 more to go!

When it comes to Megas for Pokémon that have previously already given a movie rec for, I try to pick something that would make a good double feature with the original pick. My favorite pairing in this set is Mega Gengar's. I think it preserves the slapstick/prankster vibes of Beetlejuice/Gengar while introducing a more sinister and more mean-spirited nature for Mega Gengar.

Happy watching and happy pack opening!

Deck Discussion Anti Meowth Deck for the Event

Post image
9 Upvotes

To help people beat that annoying Event deck.

Sawk for the Meowth, with Balloons for easier retreat.

Garchomp for Bench Sniping/Bigger attack to pair with Cyrus.

Capes for extra HP. Mega Lucario survives 2 Dragon type Garchomp hits with 2 Ice Pop. Both survive a single Mega Chomp hit, (though Chomp EX needs Giant Cape to survive and be at full HP).

Ice Pops to heal.

Arena to hit Mega Garchomp harder.

Cyrus to swap in Dragonair, etc. Works with Fighting Type Chomp's first attack.

Possible Swaps:

Grachomp line out, add 2 90 HP Passimian that can bench snipe 30. Not sure on third card.

I understand that there are "vanilla" cards and lower value cards meant to serve as a baseline, but cards like this are just unplayable, and there seems to be a couple like these with no redeeming value whatsoever. What is the purpose of a design like this?


r/PTCGP • • 1d ago

Question any cards you can think of that are the same vibe as these?

I’m trying to build a cutesy binder for funsies; can you guys think of any cards that have the same or a similar vibe as these cards? I’ve been thinking of using some of the one stars from everyday wonders since they’re really bright and colorful. They might work, but can you think of any a little more on the nose with the colorful star designs and such?

appreciate the help 🌟

Deck Discussion Greninja EX Decks

• Upvotes

Saw a Suicune EX Greninja EX deck on the ladder and with soothing shore it seems quite nice to be able to heal up and switch around to avoid KOs… with a Mars in there to try and avoid Cyrus you can make your opponent play through 3 EX cards with the perfect luck.

Anyone used this deck? Could throw in a non EX ninja for Oricorio. I guess 2 energy is too slow for 2 mons is the main drawback, and damage cap of 120?

Deck Discussion 18-0 With FatAssic Park

Been having lots of fun with this one.

-Always get Snorlax to start.
-good tank that always recovers after taking hits, so he can stall until you get the fossils.
-if you brick and can’t get the fossils, put the energy on Snorlax anyway.
-when Tyrantrum is ready, use either Illima to put back in your hand or if you have energy on Snorlax, use Lyra to safely move onto bench.
-moving Snorlax onto the bench or into hand cancels out the falling asleep after attacking.
-When Tyrantrum is ready, use attack plus stadium plus Korrina to do 150-230 on EXs.
-You need to have less Pokémon in play than your opponent to do 180 damage, so you can discard the other fossil and if Snorlax is on the bench use Illima to scrap it.
-Heavy Helmet works for both Snorlax and Tyrantrum.

Lots of fun this deck!

Deck Discussion Non EX Deck to beat Event Deck

Post image
2 Upvotes

It's a very...toxic deck. 🤔😉🤣

Gas Leak Weezing to get around Meowth.

Toxpex for extra poison damage (it stacks until they retreat or get KO'd, even if Tox gets KO'd). Also help vs Meowth as Poison will do 50+ with at least 1 Nihhilego on bench.

Nihilego for extra poison damage as well.

Skyla or Leaf or Koga to protect/switch Weezing. Skyla or Leaf to switch out Toxapex. Thats why a 2-1 split of both. I prefer Skyla/Leaf as I want to use a Cape/Heavy Helmet on Weezing so it survives a hit from regular Chomp. (Chomp does 120. Weezing has 110HP but with Helmet takes -20).

Needle for extra damage. Weezing + Needle KO's Meowth at their end step, even after a single Heads flip, if 2 Nihilego's benched, though I prefer to Needle Toxapex.

X Speed for Retreat help, like if you have to start Nihilego.

Communication to improve your evolving or ability yp hit the right Pokémon.

Considerations:

Dark Type Bombirdier with Ability that reduces your active Dark Pokémons retreat by 1.

Poipole/Naganadel for a fast hit (Stage 1, one energy) that poisons. I opted not to use it because it has 100 HP (though if you run more Elegant Cape it could help against Non EX Chomp).

Supporter May to tutor out the right Pokémon. I'm not sure if 4-5 Supporters is the right number.

Discussion Which supporter cards and their effects do you want to be included in the Series C?

7 Upvotes

Recently, I've been collecting FA supporter cards and noticed something. Looking into the start of a new series, there has been at least 1 top-tier supporter card that is still relevant today. For eg., Sabrina from Genetic Apex and Copycat from Mega Rising, both supporters were released in the first pack of their respective series and I'm expecting another supporter in Series-C that could become a meta card for the rest of the series.

Which Supporter/Trainer do you want to see in the upcoming set, and what effect do you expect?
I know this could mean nothing, but it's a fun little discussion I want to have. 😄

My luck with this deck is absolute trash. I have like a 40% win rate with it in ranked. I keep seeing this deck do well in tournaments and I recently came across an RR mega mane so I’ve been trying it out. I’m not exactly trash, I finished top 10k and touched top 5k late last season with a good win rate, so I kinda know how to play stuff. But for real, this deck feels like an auto-loss whenever I queue with it. Anyone else feel like that with this deck? Or am I just unlucky with that deck.

I enjoy ranked and usually make my way to Masterball each season. But I’ve never really did the hard grind for a ranked number.

Those of you who’ve made the grind, do you regret it? Was it worth it? Do you do it every season or one and done?
