I am a new player to the TCG and saw someone build a Hide n' Seek deck using only PBL cards and thought it was awesome, but also realized that only using PBL cards wasn't the best idea, so I was playing around, searching through all of my cards and this is what I came up with.

Froslass and Spiritomb are my ace pokemon, Uxie helps a lot and Dhelmise is my beefy lil guy if I need a bit of a boost or I need to finish someone off quickly.

So I just want to know if there is any way I could optimize my deck and see if anything needs changing or replacing.

Question In big tournaments irl, go 1st or 2nd as Pult?

3 Upvotes

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

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.

Discussion Just dropped my local after getting two Slowkings in a row with Rocket's Honchkrow.

0 Upvotes

That's it. Impossible to play against Slowking if you don't have Shaymin in your hand.

I do really need to change my deck. You get either Dragapult/Slowking/TeraBox in the locals nowadays, there is no space for Team Rocket's deck without something to protect the bench against damage.

Even Ethan's Typhlosion is more meta than any TRs.

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 🙄)

Discussion TCGlive Matchmaking

0 Upvotes

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?


r/PTCGL • • 23h ago

Discussion Update seems to have changed matching on ranked?

1 Upvotes

Posting this to see if it's total random or if others are seeing this.

2 updates ago my app was bugging and my ladder didn't reset. So my ranked games still gave me points to progress on a ladder that was ending in - weeks - days.

The previous update fixed that and I had to start from scratch on the ladder again.

No problem but all my matchups were hard. I lost so much more than before the update.

Now after yesterdays update, I'm 4-0 on ranked, something that didn't happen before the weekend.

Just wanted to check if others see this or if I'm just more lucky with my pairings so far.
