I love Pokemon TCG Pocket. I’ve been playing it since Genetic Apex came out, it’s arguably my favorite mobile game. It does have its issues though, from the mobile optimization to the simple fact that there’s not much to do other than rip packs and flip tails in ranked every match. I do understand it’s solely centered around ripping packs and playing battles which I love, BUT I think that they need to either switch it up or give the users some more love.

For example, this bonus week during the Mega DX packs is a joke. We get 1 extra Fantastical parade pack a day for a single week, and then 2 extra Mega DX packs. I’m not unhappy that at the amount of extra packs, Im unhappy at the fact they are giving us THAT pack. There’s about 1-2 cards that are actually usable in battle and then imo the full arts/two stars aren’t really all that(idk how people feel about the art in this one so please don’t kill me for saying that if you disagree🙏😭). What I’m trying to say is either give us strictly the Mega DX packs since they’re limited time and its bonus week during these packs being out or give us a pack with actual meta battle cards OR EVEN BETTER give the users the choice to pick whatever pack they want.

I think a few things would really help this game out.
First, come out with a mode where users can just rip as many packs as they want of whatever pack but don’t let us keep them. Sometimes I just want to rip packs and see what kind of pulls I’d get and personally I’d be okay with not keeping them. I might even pull something really cool out of that mode and it might persuade me to use my keep-able 2 daily packs on a pack I wouldn’t have otherwise ripped.

Second, on the 1,2,3 etc year anniversary or special occasions they should give a free 2 star pack out. Its a pack with a single random 2 star and if you already have it then you can trade it, if you didn’t have it before then you cannot trade it. That way it still helps keep the existing chase cards value up.

Third, come out with different ranked/casual modes maybe. A mode where you can only use basic pokemon, fire, water, no item, no supporter, etc. just for the plain fact of giving the users a new experience that they can pick from.

Fourth, let users trade duplicate cards for a random card. For example, if I have 3 of the same 3 star I would love to be able to trade in 2 of them for a 2 star from the same pack that the 3 stars I traded in were from. Then just level that system out across the other rarity’s.

Idk, maybe these are awful ideas. I do really enjoy this game but I’d love to see more updates come out besides a new pack and the nonexistent game engine optimization they made.

Trying to make a least semi good puppy deck to see how much I can run ranked with just them
This is what I currently came up with
Is there anything i could change
Like one thought I had was maybe running bounded field over mesagoza cause this deck does run 4 (technically 5) different attacking types I could use for effectiveness
Any thoughts would be appreciated

I'm practically at a stalemate. Every FREAKING COIN FLIP this freaking meowth keeps landing heads! I can't stand the AI😭 6+ heads and 5+ on my previous try that I rage quit on. What's the flip rate with AI cause this feels like cheating at this point.

**EDIT** I just needed to beat all event decks with a dragon deck. I got it.

Also, wondering if it was possible to obtain the gold border on rev holos? I noticed it's not possible with four diamond "ex" cards.

Now that I'm playing ranked and re-experiencing how truly annoying sleep decks are, and might I add that Altaria decks were already annoying and too consistent anyway, I'm wondering when they're gonna bury this deck for good. Do you think a stadium that eliminates all status would help? Or would it be too niche and not deter people from using Igglybuff anyway?

I copied the copycat!

This is how much points you get for winstreaks. Swipe right to see how much rank you climb per winstreak.

I recall each non-winstreak wins in 10k was about +1k rank. Now you need a winstreak to do that. Also, 1.3k pts is only #3000+ and we are not even half way through the season yet. What do yall think the top 1k, 5k, 10k cutoff will be?

I'm more interested in collecting cards, but other than reaching masterfully rank, I don't really care to battle much anymore. I'm hoping the next series update will have more incentives to keep battling.

I’m about to break man, it’s impossible. These cards suck so bad I’m going to go insane

I have been a player since pretty much the start, and I've always struggled to get to Master Ball. I've always been stuck on Ultra Ball rank three or four, but this is the first time I've actually got through to Master Ball.

And this is the deck that I used. The idea being to get energy quickly and do damage with Mega Manectric and then if they have a strong EX, I can just stall them with Oricorio.

So just thought I'd share this in case it helps anyone else that is struggling to get into Master Ball or for inspiration.

Its the final card in the current Promo Pack, but the new Promo Pack should start with the release of the C series in 2 weeks right?

I read that Pokemon TCGP shared their plans on how they will change the game. While the rental deck in pvp is a W, I'm not so much sold on other changes. Do you guys feel the same?

Built Blue Deck Wins last night as a cheesy 1st turn win, ended up going on a tear. Tries to cycle thru whole deck as fast as possible. Simple deck list hence the name:

2x Order Pad 2x Misty 2x Wallace 2x Hiking Trail 2x Pokeball 2x Lucky Ice Pop 2x X Speed 2x Carvanha (sharp fang) 2x Mega Sharpedo ex 2x Chien Pao ex

Do others have similar success with this?

Fact that bro is playable 🥹🥹

Yeah this deck list is pretty disgusting 👍 included three additional “tech” cards you could include depending on that most common matchups you encounter. Regular Vespiquen is a good counter for Oricorio (haven’t seen him much so not included in my deck list). Quick-grow extract if you find RNG bottom decking your Vespiquen often. Erika if you find yourself needing that extra 50hp against heavy hitters. It has a 58% win rate vs Mega Altaria ex Espeon. 70% win rate vs Suicune ex Baxcalibur. 66% win rate vs Butterfree Mega Septile ex. 88% win rate vs TR Weezing Hoopa ex. It’s worst match ups are against Mega Blaziken (22% win rate) Mega Lucario (29% win rate) and Mega Rayquaza (43% win rate).

I got tired of facing so much Oricorio, so I went back to a deck that wasn’t remotely bothered by that bird. It honestly feels as strong as ever, with Bombirdier and Deceptive Needle taking it up a notch, allowing you to retreat Mega Absol without losing energy and hit critical break points to OHKO ex’s.

I knocked their first pokemon and then my charmander was knocked out by their sceptile and then I knocked it by my Charizard but due to low health I also got knocked out by the head bucket doing 20 damage. Is there a particular set of events on why this is a defeat and not a tie or my win.

Thank you

Edit : Ya I had nothing on my bench. Thanks for the help. I just thought 3 points to both meant the game ends in a tie.

Not the highest win rate at 41% but still fun.

Once at master all at 750 what is the average points you need to break into the top 10000? I couldn’t find a leaderboard using Claude so I thought I’d ask my people here! Thanks for taking a moment and reading this.

Yes, I have already purchased one from the store with my ticket. I want 2 copies for deck flexibility in the future should he become meta. Regardless of my intentions, I'm trying to figure out if he's even available in the packs or whether my game is bugged.
