No, just get the singles. If that's difficult where you live then I guess it is worth it. Don't overpay for it, tho.

The only thing of value from it is Fez, and Fez has been reprinted into the dirt.

>>59001688
Yeah that's why I'm practicing my post rotation list. Zekrom did a lot for the deck and Zoroark's heavy drawing is really good in the wake of rotation taking a bunch of good supporters. Shaymin is easily the roughest card to play against but second to that the deck I'm playing can be a bit bricky so I've been wanting to make it a little more consistent somehow.

Is there a way to manipulate a timer bug in live?
I just lost 3 matches in a row because my turn timer ran out for some reason.

>>59001688
losing iono and cc sucks for the deck but that applies to every deck. getting unfair stamped isn't going to be the end of the world thanks to the draw. I'm not sure how the lucario mu will work out

I don't see why they can't tech in a dark energy and a crispin/counter gain. But it will never be meta if it can be hard countered by zoroark placing a single damage counter on itself with pecharunt poison.

how the fuck is this mewtwo deck winning city leagues? it plays like actual shit

>>59002773
Is not that bad of a deck. The rookie mistake is trying to use Mewtwo to attack, but if you focus on using the Spidops, this deck performs nice.
It can also tech a Lillie's Clefairy to make the Dragapult matches more consistent.
The main weakness post rotation are Marnie's Grimmsnarl and Mega Kangaskhan because the bench is very fragile.

>>59002991
mangonorrea.

>>58998414
Im playing a dark deck and I use the clutch yveltal, but Im tempted to use this instead just for the ability even tho it has no free retreat.

I miss, strangely enough, protective goggles. Spidops is the only matchup I don't think is actually worth playing on ladder for Zoroark.

>>59002712
The real question is why doesn't he get used.

>>59003895
dies to bolt and dengo in 1 turn but can't kill them back

Is Team Rocket finally playable? I want to show off with my Team Rocket accessories.

>>59003945
It has been playable for a year. There are multiple playable TR decks right now.

>>59002747
If N's Zoroark is poisoned it dies to Gren.

>>59003945
Wait until Iono, Gardevoir and Gholdengo rotates out.

>>59003945
You can get 8 turns without getting a single Transceiver, Ariana, Archer, Pretel and Lilllie if you have it too.

>>59001009
Wobbuffet is useless in that deck because every single meta deck can and will one shot Mewtwo.
Because most of this deck can't one shot the non dragon, fighting and dark mons, is better to have a Sneasel or another Brave Bangle instead of Wobbuffet.
Wobbuffet only works if you have the clunky Orbeetle line and you are facing against the Froslass Munki decks or you let the opponent Dragapult to spread damage everywhere and that's adding like 3 to 6 extra cards in the deck which is totally not worth it.

>>59002594
Would a Kyogre work here?
Greninja uses ability, retreat it with another Greninja to use the ability again, then attack by discarding a water energy.
That's 4 energy used in a single turn.
On the other hand, I don't think a match with megas involved will last more than 5 turns.

>>59004624
The real bottleneck is getting the energies consistently to start with.

>Not consistent, but multiple archetypes took spots in the top 32
The deck appears to be almost non-existing in the meta except for a few fringe randoms.

>>59005983
>SVI-PFL
That is a completely different format to G-on. I didn't follow the replies back far enough to see that "tier C" is not referring to these images >>59001155 which are post-rotation.
Rocket's mewtwo is currently shit. Rocket's honchkrow has some decent matchups.

>>59005983
This one is still using G format while the other one is post G.
That makes a big difference because Rocket team is extremely vulnerable to Gardevoir, Gholdengo and Iono.
In the post G, Rocket team should be a bit safer, but it's still very weak against the Froslass + Munki decks (mostly the Marnie's Grimmsnarl), the Kangaskhan tank decks and Arboliva decks, however those are not as rampant as Gardevoir and you can still play against them with some luck on your side.

>>59006004
Unless you're going to be earning points within the next month, SVI-PFL doesn't matter. The metagame is beyond stale and nobody cares about it anymore.

They are more popular than Cynthia, Marnie, MeMe, and Eevee decks.

Alright so what meme deck are you guys gonna try out on rotation day? For me, it's pic related.

>>59006718
It's like a shittier Charizard replacement.

>>59006756
I know but it's single prizer and metal is receiving an acceleration supporter. Also kingambit has always looked cool to me so I want to play it at least once.

Crustle with Spike Energy to fuck with the non ex decks.

>>59004815
I didn't flip anything more than 210 damage when I played this. Would not recommend because this game most certainly has weighted coinflips.

What would Kangaskhan Bouffalant deck will do once the energize tm and bravery charm rotates out?

>>59006920
Half the deck is G block alongside the Absol deck. Hopefully this boring ass deck is unpalyable

>>59006951
I think they can still play a bit by risking it with only 2 Bouffalant in the bench and filling the rest with Munkis.

>>59006004
Rocket Spidops too because top decks are Dragapult (tera and dragon), Alakazam (Articuno, lol), Raging Bolt (dragon) and N's Zoroark (Dark).
Honchkrow is more stable since it hits big damage against everyone as long as you don't get bricked.

>>59006951
Absol just won a post rotation 7k player tournament in Japan.

Got into the TGC recently by playing Live.

Be honest: Is the Greninja EX deck viable? I've done alright with it so far, after some adjustments obviously, but I do find myself struggling to deal with the insanely fast Dragapult decks sometimes. Unless I have my combos down by turn 2-3 I just get blown off the field.

>>59007156
No...

>>59007160
Anon.... dragapult is not a "fast" deck and you'll probably see a lot more of them at local stores once rotation hits. Just play Lucario and be done with it.

>>59007175
>Anon.... dragapult is not a "fast" deck
It can typically get out a third stage evolution hitting me for about 200 damage in about two turns.

>local stores
Like I said, mostly been playing Live.

>>59007190
1st turn: Dreepy.
2nd turn: Drakloak.
3rd turn: Dragapult.

>>59007190
>It can typically get out a third stage evolution hitting me for about 200 damage in about two turns.
All competent decks do that.

>mostly been playing Live.
Live is whatever, you can hit legend with whatever shitheap you want.

>>59007208
>All competent decks do that.
Fair. Though a lot of my opponents don't seem to share that mentality.

>Live is whatever, you can hit legend with whatever shitheap you want.
Then I guess I might as well keep at it.

Rare candy on turn is pretty common...

Any pult deck running rare candy is a shitter.

>>59007220
The pult players likes to use Drakloak for the draw engine.
>>59007229
They use rare candies, but on their dusks.

What the hell is happening with Live?
I lost many matches in a row because of a bug that didn't let me play cards.
Now I am wining a match because my opponent can't do anything besides sending those ugly emotes.

Does nobody in Japan know how to deckbuild? This seems like the most scattered nonsense "meta" I've ever seen. How is Zoroark not dominating?

>>59007615
Zoroark gets countered by grass slop.

>>59007615
Zoroark hard loses vs Spidops and the Venusaur variant of Grassbox unless they brick super hard. No Venusaur Grassbox is a volatile matchup that hinges on you getting prizes first because you can't utilize Darmanitan's strength of sniping basics because they don't keep them in play either because you'll snipe them or because they play forest and evolve it immediately. You can't even snipe the Meganium because it has 160 and you reach at best 130 with mochi to a frontliner with Flamebody Cannon and they can always skew your prizes and/or force boss by swinging with Meganium since Max Rod can just get it back for free which also puts you in an unfavorable position.

Hello all, I stopped playing casually in 2024 because I felt everything being played was boring and uninteractive. Is the game better or worse than it was then?

>>59007754
It's the same deck list as back then. The decks will change in April.

I know it won't be good but I hope this is at least playable with the new baby serperior coming next set

>>59008938
That Ogerpon is the only reason why my Rocket Spidops deck has a Rocket Kangaskhan.
Ogerpon absolutely destroys this deck without it (Mimikyu's are not enough).

>>59009058
Yes. It's not the best deck, but it works.
Mega Venusaur, some Green Ogerpon, Wally and Ice creams and a Meganium too so you can hit with less energies and retreat more easily.

Unless you can hit 480 or 380 with a jamming tower, the only way to deal with this deck is by bench sniping the Ogerpon.

You must play 2 Book of Change at once (only apply the effect once).

Choose 1 of your Basic Pokémon in play. Search your deck for a Basic Pokémon and switch it with that Pokémon. (Any attached cards, damage counters, Special Conditions, turns in play, and any other effects remain on the new Pokémon.) Shuffle the first Pokémon into your deck.

....but what for?

Can we even find this consistently without petrel and hoping you draw the other half? I can't imagine a deck actually using one of these at the moment.

>....but what for?
Remove liabilities from play, or transform your ho-oh/ogerpon with energy into something else. No deck wants to run 4 dead cards just to remove meowth from play.

Only terabox with their noctowl can search it out.

The new pokemon is from the discard, not from then deck.
From deck would make it borderline unplayable in a format with no super rod.

>>59014548
From the discard pile, not deck.
To replace a pokémon you don't want to use (like a Lillie's Clefairy when you were forced to start with it but the opponent is not a dragon) or a pokémon with a lot of energies with something that hits hard.
Honestly, it looks like an useless card. It would be serviceable if it can be used alone.

Good morning, lost my first match before leaving because of this shitty bug that didn't let me retreat.
