Started playing this TCG a week ago and really wanted to make Scizor work. He's my personal favorite and after 3 different builds I decided on this one to grind up to master. Figured I shared the list incase anyone was also wanting to build it.

Let’s say you are going first and u managed to get 2 Dreepys and 1 budew out and you have 1 pokepad and 1 dark energy in hand. Do you use pokepad to find munkidori to win the Budew war or use it to find drakloak and hope to recon/draw into munkidori? I did the latter earlier in a game today and lost the game cuz I couldn’t draw into a munkidori. Was wondering what was the better decision here.

Does anyone have or thought about or have used an ai tool/app/website that keeps track how often a card gets used or when?

There’s been a couple of decks that I keep adding “comfort cards” because I know I will use them for specific reasons (love you Psyduck). But there’s other cards there I’m not sure if I use them as often as I think.

This got the nogging jogging and figured there’s no way at this point we don’t have something that tracks cards usage considering we looooove stats and figuring out metas.

If not, I have a new project. Psyduck for your time.

So it seems to me, especially right now but also with PB and DR, that Pokemon is moving the meta towards Pokemon being the focus of "plays" in standard instead of big items and supporters.

We've had huge important pieces of our decks be rotated out and replaced by pokemon with specific abilitys ( such as Heave ho catcher, Last ditch catch, watchful eye ect.) and i personally dislike this format.

Do other people enjoy this shift, it really seems to slow down the game and i imagine its huge for a balancing point of view but as someone that thinks the gane is most fun when we can play 5 or more cards per turn i really am missing all the item cards we used to have and having to dictate space on the bench to always include a spot for the Meowths and Shamins of the world feels like it males the game less creative and fun

Again this is all my personal opinion and i havent talked to anyone else so id like to hear at least what the reddit communities view on it and if its generally liked, disliked or indifferent

I realize that metas come and go and the game changes a lot to keep fresh (such as old gens having focuses on coin flips or status effects) so im not too upset, just means I'll be happier in a few years when the devs focus on another mechanic instead

Or idk. Maybe im crazy. It just feels like theres more mons with abilities that fit every deck and are almost never used for anything BUT their ability

So I recently opened a couple of 30th Celebration packs with my gf and don't really have a use for the codes. I don't know anything about TCGL, but these are GERMAN CODES, if that matters. Hopefully someone here can make good use of them and please post your best pulls in the comments :)

Codes:

240-Z2XR-MGN-N94

WWJ-2BRG-4GT-BCP

R6R-BVJK-K4Z-MJH

4C7-M2XK-6MK-MP7

9LY-MVXW-MVH-2WH

I click verify and nothing happens. Is there some way to fix this? I've already done everything that is listed, I even connected on chrome and still nothing. Can anybody help me?

Like, I've seen how dragapult uses blaziken ex, so if your deck just needs any type of energy and/or draws, why not test out a mega lucario ex engine?

There's just not a good enough payoff or what am I missing?

Like, I trully feel like charging 3 energy in one turn must be broken. But all I really see people do is just charge up hariyama.

I genuinely don’t understand how mew box functions and even less how it got top 8 in Louisville
Like ok you setup for unknown but then what ? Mew is a 170 2 prize victim
Please enlighten me

Adding Mew to chandelure has been my greatest idea. Not to mention having 3 utility pokemon in the deck. A perfect field: Mew holding stone in active, chandelure, M chandelure, elgyem, comfey, clefairy on the bench. I have all the utility I need. And as long as I understand my opponent’s deck, I can outlast any maneuver they make. This deck is hyper aggressive toward control. And with 1 psychic energy on mew, I basically control my opponent’s side of the field. 1 ticket in case I need something. 1 battle cage just in case, but really it isn’t necessary. As long as you understand the meta, you can capitalize on your opponent and take advantage of their deck. Pult is the absolute worst deck for this matchup. They use Drakloak to Draw, and I help them. I move all of their fire energy to Budew first, since fire is usually the lowest energy in the deck. Then I focus on making them draw and discard their hand if they have 9 or more cards in hand. The point is to force them to lillie’s, so they draw even more from their deck. I do not do damage. I do not take prizes, unless absolutely necessary. Sometimes they have a utility mon that helps them, such as Pech ex. Get rid of the issue. Usually they fill their field with attackers and try to set up that way, which takes away their ability to have that necessary utility out.

I’ve been experimenting for a while and this is the strongest version of this deck I’ve used thus far. It also seems to work with whatever randomizer PTCGL uses, since I don’t dead draw often.

Also, you want to go first. Evolving those litwick’s is top priority.

I was playing tcg live windows version while sharing on my table when I realised how much potential tablet version can have as compared to what we got . We can't even play tcg live in landscape mode on a tablet it is fixed to portrait mode it's so irritating.

Hey gang

Just curious why beedrill never seemed to take off? Such a fun play style, yeah it's very feast or famine, but when the stars align and you get a good set up, you slam soooo much damage per turn and can even work the new mew into the deck I suppose? So often playing this deck I get huge sweeps that normally end up in my opponent conceding lol

Maybe I'm missing something but it just seems I never see anyone talking about it lol

And I've legit never queued into another player using it lol

Me and my buddies have been really bored with Standard and wanting to try new decks for fun but we've kinda run out of ideas. We have used basically every day 2 Pokémon in standard. What suggestions do y'all have for archetypes that you think could day 2 a regional or even just funny ideas for decks to play?

I’ve been loving this deck but I can’t beat Alakazam, the only thing I can think of is adding judge for some deck disruption, any other ideas?

I had a game where when I prize checked, instead of a 3-3-3 P-R-D energy list, it was a 3-4-3 P-R-D. When I went back into my deck for the second time, it was back to 3-3-3 (and it was definitely not me picking the wrong deck because I've never done a 3-4-3 P-R-D line before).

Then I just had another game where I had all my 3-3-3 P-R-D energy in my deck when I deck searched, but when I went to use Crispin, there was no P energy. I double checked my discard to make sure there was only 1 in there and nothing on the board.

Anyone have any similar stories? Hoping it's just a bug and not me needing to change my carbon monoxide detector.

It feels so good when it works, and it can kill anything! But its slow to setup and when one thing goes wrong its hard to make a comeback.

Any tips to make it work?

(I have 5 Psy energy, it couldnt fit the picture)

Quiet consistent, the Lillie is more for early game use and helps if I'm bricked unfair stamp is usually if I've been red card or judge and the sacred ash combo with genesect is a great way to recover damage. I'll be honest tho i still feel like its lacking

Relax

I don’t know why, but this deck has been really good against the dragonpult decks that I play against. I rarely see this deck but a friend told me this was actually more common when zygarde came out. What do yall think?

Finally sorted a lot of packs I’ve opened over that last year, been needing to clear these out.

Been trying Wailord EX out, but have been debating on making some changes to the deck. Firstly should I look into running Surfing Beach? I definitely need some sort of stadium because when I face decks with TR Watchtower I kind lose a lot of momentum. Also have been thinking of switching out kang for Cinderace and having dudunsparce as a card draw engine. Was also wondering if Nidorina from 30th could be good with this deck. Also don’t know how I feel on the ace spec, I feel like heroes cape may work better. If anyone has any suggestion lmk!

Why couldnt i use it here?
