It's 4 weeks. And you can easily get 3 levels per day. Or spend some of your tokens to boost the pass.

third for a slimy!

I still don't see what's so good about an anti stretcher card.

>>58966414
it's the anti-regidrago card

>>58966434
The current year is 2026.

Gholdengo still exists.

>struggling to clear the easiest battle pass ever
It's true when they say Pokémon fans have no frame of reference for video games.

>>58966495
The Gardevoir ex puts the energies from the discard pile directly on the pokémons, that deck only uses the stretcher to recover their Drifloon and Sreaming Tail which is not that necesssary since they not only have 2 Screaming Tail, their own Gardevoir can fight too and self damaging also helps to use their Munkis.

Got some more games in and got some final tweaks in... this deck is pretty fun. Saving this one for rotation where Lucario and Dragapult are free matchups

>>58966493
It's easy I know I'm just saying the game is not enjoyable right now. It's been the same meta for a good half a year. Just dont even have the motivation to login daily for the missions it's that boring

Looks like Ill be playing with my balls still until perfect order. Hopefully the prerelease decks come with stacks of pokepads like how phf decks had multiple copies of hilda and lillie

reprint cologne so I can play against shaymin please

Waitchads we have this in the bag.

Live rankings resetted today!
I am finding fun decks now, like Larry's Dudunsparce with Mega Audino and Mega Kangaskhan (I don't get the concept of this deck, I only understood that they use Mega Audino to charge the Dudunsparce then bench it and start charging it with Komalas) or Arboliva ex bench sniping army using Boss Order and Counter Catcher to put something non dangerous at the active spot.

>>58966671
Some people are just stupid.

>>58967055
>Larry's Dudunsparce
I get the concept of the deck but I played against this recently and they only flipped 1 head put of 8 coins with dundunsparce. So I don't think the concept is good.

>>58967370
The thing is that I don't get why they go through such a roundabout way when they can just charge it komalas and a firebreather.
I also don't get why there is a Kangaskhan, it's a bit too risky to have a mega in the active just to draw then switching it back with Latias.

>>58966828
Cologne+Pokemon ranger effects on a supporter would be balanced. Item cologne was way too cheap

>>58966828
Why does he not work against Drag anyway?

>>58967656
I'm playing Zoroark, makes fighting single prize decks impossible unless they brick early and I can get it for free
>>58967638
Would Ranger not be counterproductive vs spread decks because placing counters is an effect?

I pulled an alt art mightyena today and I was wondering, wouldn't these cards actually have a chance of seeing play if you got to choose what got pulled in? Boss on legs for a little damage might not be so bad for some decks

it must be something major if it's being teased this way. i hope it's a major overhaul of the whole TCG gameplay, particularly at how evolution cards work since it's one of the most neglected mechanic of the game.

Welcome back MewMew!

>>58971047
I doubt they are abandoning Megas or the Mega series. It might be fun if they make omni-type single prizers with 3-type energy costs as this era's sub-gimmick.
Obviously reprint weakness policy too.

>>58971445
or it's probably a return of the delta species seeing how the two are being surrounded by energy and having off-color sheen on them.

I like the new deckbox + mat so I bought it.
Probably won't use the sleeves but Pokemon Center sleeves are dirt cheap.

>>58966596
Please explain how this works.

>>58966596
You Metronome Zoroark's attack and use your own Zekrom's attack.

I can't wait until Iono is rotated.
What kind of deck has 4 Iono and an Unfair Stamp?

>>58973226
Pultzard is usually 3 Iono and a stamp, but some people play 4

>>58972494
Metronome anything that can be oneshot with its own attack + Brave Bangle, use Lillie's Clefairy ex as secondary attacker. I've made a couple more changes (Mega Kang was a liability in most matchups) but deck is pretty straightforward, just gotta use your noggin every match.

>>58973791
updated list?

>>58973945
-1 Mega Kang
-1 Garden
+1 Psychic Energy
+1 Watchtower

>>58966596
I still think that having only one Zekrom is dangerous in this deck.

>>58973722
It was against a PultNoir deck, spamming Iono every single turn was quite a trip.
Prize manipulation using the suicide bombing to make a better use of Iono and the catcher.

Now that I just buy cards I want and don't rip I don't know what the fuck to do with this mound of cards I don't want. Surely there's some kind of donation thing?

>>58974347
Go to your local store and give some to the kids who are having fun.

>>58974347
Sell them. Most card shops do $10 per 1 thousand cards.

>>58974556
You'd be surprised how ungrateful kids are about free cards because they watch YouTubers who hand out like $30 cards for free so they think everything you give them is junk. Ungrateful little shits

>>58974347
I just store them in ETB Boxes and give singles away if people need them.

>>58971092
The simultaneous release makes me think the same. But I would love to be wrong. It would be nice to experience a fresh meta

>>58974916
Well I mean, it IS junk. Guess kids are just well informed nowadays.

>>58975125
What? You don't want my 3 ETBs full of energies? (Note, holo/stamped energies filtered out).

Did they need to make the avatars more horrifying than they already were?

>>58975504
Why are they using the shittier logo?

>>58975557
The CapuMon 30 marketing is for Japan only.

>>58975150
So they even want all the dice and counters included in an ETB?

I designed some OC lewd Pokemon trainers for trading cards. I don't know anything about the card game, what would be a good place to learn about trainer cards, and the general game. Also, anyone with a cards folder they are willing to share for download to see cards or whatever learning materials you have. Also looking for card assets like icons and font types if anyone has them or knows where to get them. I pretty much need those to make the cards look pro.

They're just going to be special lenticular cards for collectors.

This entire set is literally just a celebrations 2.0 set. Aka fuck all playable as actual cards

>>58976092
Either download live or use limitless.

>>58976092
I believe theres websites that have the card templates that you can use to make cards. I'm not sure which ones are the best. The easiest way to learn the game is to play it but if you want to just learn about trainer cards and their mechanics then just look at any card gallery because the rules and mechanics of trainers are printed on the cards themselves. You'd specifically be looking at supporter trainer cards.

may have been good all along but it didn't become popular until NAIC

>>58966596
I like it and support it. What's the plan against Team Rocket stuff post rotation?

>>58977227
I hope the small set of playable cards in this are actually good. but with how collectors are lately they're probably going to cater to their nostalgia instead

>>58966596
Unless you got any ideas... current plan is just attack with Lillie's Clefairy and stamp, hope they brick

>>58977281
Eh I guess, in a vacum that is. Mzard x is promising only because of oricorio and even then it is not seeing play like at all so it's whatever.

>>58977553
That deck doesn't look capable to deal against 1 prize army.
