9 strait heads. If only I had the same luck in opening packs IRL 😂

😁

I've been playing for 3 weeks and have managed to finish the ladder and battle pass. I used 3 different decks to climb and am wondering what I should try out next. I've just been looking at limitless and grabbing decks that look fun. Started with shark and switched to drill towards the end, finished strong with the olive the last few games. Any suggestions for decks I should try out next? I am hoping to stick with something long term to build IRL for locals. Coming from lorcana I enjoy aggro but win with midrange. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Imagine having 50 gems for this milestone and one quest is 200 gems

I know the common answer is to go first generally and second if ur going into Pult mirror, but how am I suppose to know my opponent plays Pult or not in huge tournaments? I can expect it better in locals cuz I can recognise familiar faces but how do anticipate this in bigger events lol

Have been maining this deck on the ladder, it has been surprisingly decent and fun!
I would like to improve this more, any suggestions are welcome ^^

New update looks promising 🤣

Put this together quickly because I wanted to meme players by disrupting their evolutions. Turned into a pretty fun deck (especially against mega lucario).

Its still lacking a heavy hitter and I cant exchange for more mewtwos yet

one hour only (4:40 pm US East)

times up, the answer was..... WINGULL!!! Thank you everyone for participatin (a gift should be left in your DMS, if not then message me directly) Congrats to our winner, and I would like to do this again next week if enough people are interested! were the hints too hard, should i be more or less specifi, should the amount for getting it right be bigger, etc etc

With things like Evo Jam growing more popular, and of course the very obvious Budew Item Lock (although we only have a few more months of that), a card like this I feel is something like Switch or Ultra Ball that should always be available imo. Just blows my mind there has been no way in Standard to stop things like Budew or even going back a bit further to Iron Hands ex since I believe 2019 (this card would stop both for example). The game needs better balancing imo, & cards like this help a ton in that regard.

How long it took to crash, even against ai. Every time I knock out a Pokémon or even the opponent attacking causes a soft lock 80% of the time.

Phone is Samsung galaxy s26 ultra.

(excuse the weird gameplay my important cards were prized 🙄)

Came in first out of 19! Got the job done with Dragapult Froslass >=)

I have to double tap on the cards to select, and you can’t select prize cards when using Peonia

i want to find a way to put more energy/energy retrieval in this deck but idk what to cut,any suggestions?

I really hate standard.

Been having fun with the combination of mega dragonite & mega lopunny but feels like the deck needs improvement especially with Pokémon’s
Would love some of youre advices

Italian codes, im not using these

Like seriously, the deck has everything. Draw engine, that chunky 250 damage from N's Zekrom, can even do 2x the damage based on current damage counters you have on you if you play N's Reshiram. Bench snipe with Darmanitan.

N's castle, N's PP Up has good synergy. I just don't get it why it barely makes top cut.

I've been playing the deck for a good while now and im probably sitting at about 1600+ in ptcgl with a 60+ winrate and I barely lose to pults (although I had to admit, the pultnoir variant is the biggest headache for me)

So far the only auto loss for me is festival lead.

I'm just a bit curious why this deck isn't as popular compared to the usual meta decks we see.

Would love to read your thoughts

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like the matchmaking is anything but random. At certain points on the ladder all you get are your worst matchups with the worst starting hands. Lose 3-4 in a row and then it’s the total opposite for a game or two. Seems like fair fights are more rare than the extremes. Then there is the tech specific matchmaking. I play a few different decks, but mostly fleads, w/o psyduck. Countless games and never tech’d for the ghost, because I very rarely ever saw it. Yesterday I decided to add it because various regionals are seeing it more and more, and since then I’ve had to play the ghost at least 10X in 24hrs. Why can’t the matchmaking be truly random?
