no seriously, is this games meta beyond repair? We were off to a great start but we somehow reverted back despite manectric being a pretty good card. Altaria and Hydriegon really are these unbeatable monsters that will keep coming back huh

>>59135109
Lmfao it just went back to the same shit again, holy KEK
>>
>>59135109
we went back because in the last 4 sets they haven't actually printed anything that can realistically match the retarded speed of altaria or hydreigon and in fact have released several support cards that have had nothing but a rich get richer effect
like what the fuck do you do when the other guy drops both hydreigons on the board turn 3? you fucking lose
until that changes the meta won't
>>
>>59135107
it would be kinda balanced since they could disrupt your energy too since stadiums can be used by both people
>>
>>59135143
You would be able to stall too easily if they could change your next energy and leave you helpless.
It would probably need some kind of stipulation to use, anyway. They really don't want people running multicolor decks, and I don't want to see people splashing random Oricorio onto decks and letting them hit stuff.

Mega Altaria and Hydriegon represent broken archetypes that aren’t easily powercrept. One is a 2 energy attacker for 130dmg loaded with broken support basics, and the other is effectively a 1 energy attacker for 130dmg. Hydriegon basically auto beats any deck that cant one shot it or tank the monster damage.

>>59135567
Just play Alolan Ninetales.
>>
>>59135567
altaria's weakness is, in theory, bench sniping. the nature of the deck forces you to run a high number of basics, the vast majority of which are easy pickings for most snipe cards.
the issue with this is that bench sniping cards suck outside of greninja and the now barely playable decidueye, so altaria can just splash in greninja and beat snipe decks at their own game. it's truly a terribly designed card.

>>
>>59135710
There's no way they're going to rotate Series B out at least until Series D starts. Rotating out Series A and B at the same time that Series C starts would mean that nothing would be playable except the limited pool of Series C cards. And that's if they do rotation at all. I'm going to be stuck with Series B and its awfully designed Megas and Hydreigon and Lucky Ice Poop for at least a year and a half. The game will be able to survive that, because it's pokémon, but it will be miserable as hell.

>>
>>59135638
My response to this from last thread.

Realistically, the game can’t be fixed. There’s no mechanic, card, etc. that can solve the underling problems that are baked in. Which are all by design. It’s card collecting sim with a watered down version of the real tcg tucked inside. Devs put infinitely more effort into trying to get players to spend on packs than they do balancing anything at all. The reality is that the battling in the game is only a means for them to incentivize you paying for each new pack. Because, again, it’s by design that every new set has something totally broken that people will chase after that will win them more games. Even if something gets made in a set that counters something broken in the meta there will be something new that will dominate and the complaints will shift to that. This has been the norm since the very first set.

This has been the game’s cycle and it will continue to be this way until it just peters out and dies completely. Which, desu, feels like it’s already beginning. Thinking things will change after a year and a half into this I think is copium.

Tldr; Game can't be saved. This is just how it is and you can accept it or drop it altogether.

Except that isn't the case? It's still Hydregion/Altaria winning everything. Nothing beats 130 damage for 3 cards and no needed ramp, or 130 damage for 2 energy with a mountain of support babies that can switch in and out easily and die just as easily to protect the mega EX.

>>59136257
I really wonder if Hydreigon was an accident. It, Silvally, and Rampardos are the only times a 3d card has really dominated the meta. Even then, Silvally and Rampardos were playing second fiddle to Darktina.
>>
>>59136218
you're getting lucky largely, I play Altaria and I only lose to Manectric decks when I get bricked. Manectric decks are piss easy to beat since the deck lacks any power whatsoever unless it can get 2 KO's
>>
>>59136281
>I really wonder if Hydreigon was an accident
It's essentially 130 damage off one energy for a regular Pokemon, I can't give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. Maybe if it was like Greninja where it came out months before rare candy.
>>
The recoil damage makes it fair you see
>>
>>59136356
I'm just saying, they made a (relatively, compared to 4d ex cards) common card extremely powerful, to the point where it can support itself almost perfectly. It doesn't even care about going first, and even prefers it in most cases. Seems like a complete accident when just a couple months ago we had Solgaleo who got powercrept out of existence right away.

>>59136365
Hydregion wasn't completely busted until the popscicle showed up. It was good, but the deck being forced to rely on Indeedee healing meant it got bricked a lot of times on startup and made for really easy loss conditions if you could snipe Indeedee.

Now that Hydranigger decks have dropped everything but Absol, and they are trying to drop even M.Absol, the deck just wins easily. hell, I played against an all in hydregion deck once where the opponent was using silkscarf to recover hydregion/Deino and re-evolve the fucker using Zweilous. I would have lost that game if they managed to get the ball rolling and could cycle Deino evo's every turn, but they didn't quite have enough time.

>Steelix tops still keep randomly popping up
>>
>>59136740
What are you talking about?
>>
>>59137053
There are audio and visual effects that occur when you open a pack, and the slightly purple one consistently indicates a 2* card. It doesn’t always occur when you get a 2* though.
>>
>>59137072
It's been long established by datamines that those are completely random if anything above 4 diamonds is in the pack, and it showing up isn't guaranteed.
>>

I can safely say a purple effect has never meant anything less than a 2* for me, but ok anon

I hear you bro, and in my experience, the purple effect, not the rainbow, has always meant a 2* card was in the pack.

>>59139071
groudon is at the very least a fat basic that can tank a couple hits while you build something in the back. that strategy sucks now, but it CAN do that. gigalith requires massive investment as both a stage 2 and a 4-energy attacker in a type with zero ramp, all for 10 damage over chien-pao who is a basic in a type with tons of ramp. it's unplayable, not even exaggerating when i say that.
>>
>>59139101
Gigalith is not even nearly unplayable, it one shots a ton of meta cards and gets one shotted by virtually nothing. Right now you could win with high rolling sleep cheese and/or hiding behind bulky normal types and Ilima.

Is copycat the best thing to happen to this game? Would anyone argue that they hate it because it's overpowered or unhealthy for the game or something like that?
>>
>>59139305
Copycat is fighting fire with fire. It lets you level the playing field against decks designed to pull everything right away. The advantage it can give player 1 can be stupid. You can dump your entire hand and get back to 4 before the opponent can do anything.
>>
>>59139305

>opponent gets to reshuffle their opening hand + draw a card

It should be a way to punish players who have a lot of reactive cards in their hand, but since this game has zero interaction it just punishes players who got fucked by RNG. Any other game and Copycat is a decent to moderate card that sees sparse use, but because of how Pocket is built the card is massively overpowered .

How come I've never seen anyone use mega gardevoir to charge reuniclus? Seems like an easy win

Because it's a gimmick that takes too much effort compared to just spamming Mega Garde's attack over and over.
>>
>>59139460
but if you're going to spam the attack over and over, what better to do with your endless psychic ramping than something that can take endless ramping?

110 is enough to 2shot almost any mega, and after chip nearly every other EX.

Your energy ramp is used to fuel Diantha, a second Mega Gard, or utility pokemon like M.Indeedee. Trying to use Mgard to ramp something else is just asking to get Cyrus'd and KO'd

>>59139575
It's less the card is poorly designed and more Pocket's environment lets it shine. Low damage and health pools means even getting 60HP off the popsicle is good enough to warrant use. Mainline the card is trash due to HP and damage bloat, but here with even 40HP means life or death it's an allstar

-Mega Gardevoir
I didn't read that part. Well, whatever, the deck is still not good for mostly the same reasons though I guess Indeedee doesn't really matter all that much anymore.
>>
>>59139455
because you can run 2 mgardes, and if you can manage to survive with mgarde long enough that a reuniclus play becomes better than just swapping into the second mgarde then you already won the damn game. it's nothing but winmore.

The account came with a shiny suicune ex, DX lusamine, rainbow mega venusaur, but they're all in chinese sadly. Still good enough to fill your dex or use for trade with people that don't care.

Looking to finish my diamond dex for Deluxe Pack and need the following foil cards. Willing to trade from any set for these, just lmk what you're looking for:
>>
>>59139305
Like others said it’s mainly just enables decks that want to dump their whole hand and combo off in 1-2 turns. The consistency of this has warped the meta to favor this kind of uninterative gameplay even more. Which is pretty shit considering the game was already too fast before that. In other decks at best it lets you undo a bad brick opener or acts as a 3rd oak.

Imo this card is just as bad of a shit meta enabler as ice pop and various others that get complaints.
>>
>>59145462
The Pokemon TCG has never been interactive. It's just a solitaire race.
>>
>>59145377
I can trade a Magnemite if you have any of these foil.

Ice Pop has to be one of the worst deisgned cards in the history of TCGs. It's so blatantly unfun, retarded, and obviously fucking horrible for the game.
>>
>>59154970
It's a 1:1 port from the paper game, but the paper game's numbers are way bigger.
>>
>>59154978
And the games here are way, way shorter, so the variance of extra turns bought entirely through highroll luck are much more impactful.
Should've given it 10 HP recovery instead of 20.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda. They're never going to change effects, so the game is fucked forever.

I like the idea of having a reusable healing card, but not when the same card is used multiple times in a row within the same turn.

They need to either release a rework of claydol so it's not complete shit to play or make a stadium/ability card that turns healing into damage

>>

>>59159674
as shit as most of them have been, utility crowns are better than the old "make the pack cover mon the crown" crowns because all of them sans MAYBE arceus are unusable
>>
>>59159840
that's just the nature of power creep. mewtwo, GA zard, GA pika, dialga, palkia, solgaleo, etc. were all solid decks at one point or another until power creep claimed them one by one.
that being said, utility crowns don't necessarily fare better in the long run. eevee bag is dead, mantyke is barely clinging to life in meme decks like slowbro, klefki lives solely in a single rogue deck that's one bad meta shift from ceasing to be playable, and lilligant, arboliva, and aegislash were dead on arrival.
it's kind of a crapshoot.
>>
>>59159896
The only exception to this being SR's Crown Poke Ball; because of it SR is the one old pack I see the most consistently in wonder picks.
>>
>>59159928
yeah, there's definitely good ones. besides poke ball, you've got flame patch, metal barrier, nihilego, and of course rare candy that will all likely be around for a very long time. baxcalibur and meloetta are solid as well but are significantly more susceptible to power creep.

I ran into this deck earlier in random battle and thought I was playing against a child. Imagine my confusion when I popped into the thread and it was being discussed as a legitimate deck. My impression was that running three different three stage evolution lines and needing tons of different energy was crazy, but the deck was not at all constructed the way I thought it was. There is no sligoo or goodra, and no psychic energy

very likely no scizor until they give it another ex someday, there's no precedent for RRs of previous set EX cards.
and i'd eat my dick if they made a shiny ogerpon when it's still not available in main series. not happening.
>>
>>59160936
RIP then. I actually got the shiny immersive first, but I still think it's a ridiculous ripoff to have 2 identical immersives with their only difference being the colors. They could at least have changed the poses of the mon or something.
>>

I don't see why they wouldn't make some new RR prints in the B series deluxe at the end of the year, especially with how much weaker the commons and trainers pool has been for series highlights (that didn't already release with special alt prints). But MScizor isn't who I would be placing bets on

Thought this deck was going to be jank as fuck, but it's pretty good. Find myself actually getting down to 0 cards in deck so running 2 different stage 2 lines isn't nearly as much of an issue as I thought. Was struggling at first but realized I need to be leaning into Deceduleye more. Despite not having any grass energies, he's still the star of the show and everyone else are backup dancers. Which feels weird since you only carry one copy of him, but just believing in the heart of the cards and vomitting your entire hand out every turn works.

Goomy is funny as shit. Had a few players Leaf into Igglybuff/Chingling only to realize that they need a fucking energy just to use their baby move. So funny when they actually pause after the play and I can tell they're fucking confused and reading Goomy before ending their turn doing jack shit. It makes me wish there was a more consistent way to start with Goomy other than slotting another one in. Almost tempted to remove Maintenance for it because even though it feels like it should help you fish out cards faster combined with Hiking Trail, it feels like it requires too much to be useful. You'd need trash in your hand, and hiking trail, and even then it's not like it guarantees to fix your brick. But the deck is already so loaded up that there may be something better to slot in than a 2nd Goom...
>>
>>59161856
yeah maintenance would probably be the card to replace, but there's not much you actually want in that slot. it's gotta be an item or tool, as a basic would be really bricky and there's not really any other supporters that fit an all-in bench snipe deck. maybe cape, maybe another x speed to shuffle goomy and oricorio around easier, maybe even a comm to dig for the mons you need. dunno.
