Anyone has seen japanese decklists from Battle Carnival?
I'm pretty curious about this one:
Zebstrika (NXD)+ Rayquaza EX + Eelektrik + Mr. Mime + Silver Mirror

I wonder what other Fire types will be in Plasma Blast. Or will we get the grand total of 2 that Megalo-Cannon did?

I'm not sour about fainting spell, I'm sour about Fainting Spell, Shadow Room, Poltergeist, and free retreat all being on the same card. I know Unown G was a card, and I know Skuntank was a card, But having to play them all in one deck and deprive yourself of Trainers to avoid Poltergeist was fucking annoying.

I beat it when it mattered though. Good old Dialga/Palkia.

So, how does this Rayquaza+Zebstrika works?
It uses Skyarrow bridge like the old times without keldeo/float stone and while Rayquaza is on the bench getting energy from eelektrics Zebstrika disrupts the opponent and free retreats the next turn for a full Dragon Burst?

It depends on where do you play.
There's the modified format, which is from the Black&White expansion onward and it's used on most of the official nintendo events.
An there's unlimited, where you use all the cards, this is mostly for leagues and non-competitive, and friendly events

Surely you have a better attacker than Staraptor, right?

I mean, Keldeo EX by itself is around $8 anymore. Even less if you're just buying the code from a tin for online.

It's a fun deck. With the shiftrys I can send a maximum of 2 of the opponent's mons, and all cards attached back into his deck or alternatively none.
The staraptors will insure one of his mons gets sent back, but needs 2 DCEs for each one.

I saw it, that's why I said "pretty much" not "completely".
Also, having Mewtwo EX on a deck that came on first in just one Battle Carnival doesn't make it the best card in the format.
Drifblim and Deoxys EX are very popular in japan right now, and both can OHKO Mewtwo EX, while having better synergy with all the deck, and not being just a big basic. Also Drifblim isn't even EX

Can anyone help me out? I started playing TCGO back when it was browser based. Last weekend I got the crave to play it again and discovered it now is a downloadable game.

Anyway. I downloaded it, installed it and started playing, but I lost all my progress and my avatar. Is this because I took a long hiatus from the game? Or this happened to everyone in the transition from the browser version to the stand alone one?

And what are the Tokens good for in this version of the game?

Avatars are dead. And for progress do you mean the Trainer Challenge stuff? Then yeah, that got restarted, too. Though your card collection should still be intact.

Ah touché. I wasn't aware people were playing Frigate, and in all honesty I'd forgotten that card even existed what with Virbank and Skyarrow running around so much. Still, I won't stop playing Heatmor, I find it great fun, and that's the whole reason I play in the first place.

Even if sets start to release simultaneously with each other, if our ratios are still the same it doesn't even matter. We won't get prerelease prices and all, but after everyone knows what's good things will be pretty much the same.

It depends on what you want to play.
As any other TCG, you'll need to invest a considerable amount of money, to avoid spending on what you don't need (And end up with a binder of cards you'll probably never going to sell or trade) I would recomend you to watch videos of currently top tier decks (If you want to play competively) or funny/rouge decks (If you just want to play for fun and lose most of the time).
You can search videos of TCGO, where you can see all the hand of the player, and search for the decklist of what deck catches your attention.

Or you can just buy a Theme deck, and watch tons of cards online to see what could go well with your deck and come up with an strategy on your own.

If you do so, I suggest searching and buying the Ice Shock Theme deck from the Boundaries Crossed expansion, since it's prized like $12-$14usd and comes with Blastoise, which is prized arround $8-$12usd and Skyla, which is prized $4-$6usd.

If you buy the Ice Shock theme deck, you have the base for the Blastoise/Keldeo EX/Black Kyurem EX deck, which is a top tier deck.

Dude, do you know Thundurus/Deoxys/Kyurem is the most expensive deck in the format? (Also, the best, lol.)
And not all the trainers used for that deck can be found on the same expansion, and if you buy only a box you have a high chance of just getting one Kyurem and one Thundurus and not a single Deoxys lol.
And you'll even need a Keldeo EX
So if you don't want to buy like 4 boxes of various expansions, I would suggest buying the cards individually lol.
Or you can wait for the tins that are coming this September! >>12472776 (If you're not planing on entering Battle Roads/Nationals/Worlds)
Which are going to be cheaper, plus you get some packs. You're still going to need the trainers tho
Just make a list and buy them individually, or else you're going to end up with a bunch of cards you'll never need

Hi there guys, I have never come in the TCG gen, nor have I really been interested in it before, but I guess tonight I was really considering learning how to play the TCG since I have about 3k cards laying around that I just like to hoard.
I don't know where to start and what's a good card and what to do or anything and it's just super overwhelming...I have never played a TCG seriously before, and I know this is probably the best place to go for advice?

Hi, glad to hear you got interested on the Pokemon TCG.
Here you can watch tutorials from Dora the Explorer:
http://www.pokemontcg.com/tutorials
An here is the official rulebook in .pdf:
http://assets11.pokemon.com/assets/cms/pdf/tcg/rulebooks/bw_plasma_storm_rulebook.pdf

To start a deck, I would suggest starting with 20 pokemon, 20 trainers and 20 energies, and as you search for an strategy start increasing the number of trainers to 30 and up, since trainers give speed to the deck.

Good luck!
If you have any question just throw it here, at least I'm willing to help new players

No problem dude, glad to help you.

Playing the online game is pretty nice too, since you can play all the time from your computer when maybe you can't go to a league to play friendly matches.
But I would suggest just playing against the NPCs at the Trainner Challenge to learn how to play, since a lot of pro players with top tier decks enter the "Novice" section of the Player vs Player to crush novices.

Also, the online game is still on beta test, so it has a lot of glitches and sometimes cards don't work as they should, so it might be confusing when starting.

Exactly, nothing happens at this time. No Plasma Blast news, no japanese set news, Battle Carnivals are over and the latest TCGO update introduced absolutely nothing so unless someone's playing at Battle Roads, there's nothing really to say.

That said, I was playing on TCGO for about an hour earlier and all I faced was Plasma decks, everyone seems to have jumped on the bandwagon.

Here's a tip for the braves that use Keldeo/Blastoise/Black Kyurem without Tropical Beach on PTCGO:
Add two Kyurem EX to your deck, the first attack discards special energies, then you can KO them with the second attack.
If you are in the need to attack again with Hail Blizzard, just Rush in and Float Stone.
You'll need Blastoise T2 and Frozen Wings T2, or you'll most likely lose

Ah, so the $40 price tag isn't that bad then. I still feel like they should of added more energy, since 5 of each is pretty low. Other than that, I probably won't get it unless I needed another trainer box to hold my decks. I'm going to assume the sleeves are the same picture as the trainer box? The same with the deck box being the same picture as the trainer box.

Hey TCGGeneral, a few quick questions for you.

I took time off from the game after the release of Boundaries Crossed due to the advent of my unemployment and my general loathe for the set.

I ran a RayEels, modified from my previous ZekEels.

I just got the Plasma Shadow theme deck for the Colress and Escape Rope, and a few boosters of Plasma Storm and Freeze, nothing exceptional except a full art Thundurus EX

Anyway I'll stop rambling and tl;dr my questions

I think I've seen a few Gothitelle EPO squeeze into T4s

If I'm not mistaken, RayEels topped a few Battle Roads. Since you already have it built, I'd say run that. Definitely pick up some Keldeo EX promos and add Float Stone to your deck.

Is Victini EX a good call for RayEels? I never heard a clear consensus on that one.

Cool, thanks.
I've not considered Victini EX but it totally seems like a worthwhile tech if you could find room for it in RayEels. There's not much you need to make the deck work (at least from what I remember) so it would probably be pretty easy to squeeze one in.

Also, now that I'm aware of this deck, as opposed to a Victini EX a NVI V-Create Victini might be better as a tech-counter to Klinklang, seeing as most of RayEels damage output is from EXs

Victini EX would be there to get your T2 Dragon Burst a bit more reliably with its first attack.

But yeah, Benchtini and Mini-Ray are your best outs to Klinklang.

Blastoise players rejoice/weep.

>The unique, limited nature of the real-world distribution for the Tropical Beach promos has historically created challenges in receiving approval for their digital distribution in the Pokémon TCG Online. The question has always been, “Why does it make sense to do this at this time?” The upcoming release of Tournaments created the perfect answer to that question.

>The update which includes Tournaments will also add the BW28 and BW50 Tropical Beach promos to the game. At that time, we will begin distributing codes via email to competitors and event staff from the 2011 and 2012 World Championships. Four codes will be sent to each competitor and three to each event staff member, with individuals who participated in both events receiving codes for both versions of the card. Each code will unlock four tradable copies of the version which was handed out at the event in which the individual participated; BW28 for the 2011 World Championships and BW50 for the 2012 World Championships. We estimate delivery of these codes to require two weeks to complete.

So, I was looking through some old boxes and located my Pokemon card collection. Stuff as far back as Base Set 1 and the like but I honestly don't have a use for them. Assuming that PokeCollectors LJ is out (because it seems you have to lurk/buy for months on end before you can be recognized to sell), is there a good option for selling off these cards? Most are in extremely good condition (near if not mint) and range from Base Set Holos through Team Aqua/Magma e-reader holos.

Any suggestions would be great to have, just trying to figure out my options here.

As for the Tropical Beach discussion, isn't that basically going to mean that only the top tier players will even have these things in their decks (and the rest will be extremely unreachable trading fodder)?

I'm sure the Tornadus is for Windfall. It turns Ultra Ball into a hand refresh of sorts, creates another good starter for the deck, and works well with all the Float Stone the deck should play. Six Prizes has the only good lists for this deck out there. Its not nearly as net deckable as Blastoise or Plasma.

This is what opening 5 PF boxes got me.

Details/Thoughts:
Boxes 3 and 5 didn't have any Full Arts in them.
Box 1 had Three Full Arts (Tornadus/Thundurus/Latios)
Box 3 was by far the worst. Pulled Torandus EX, Latias EX and nothing else.
I pulled 4 Kyurem Holos and 2 Kyurem Reverse Holos
Dissapointed in no Deoxys or Juniper FA.
Overall I am happy with my purchase and will do it again with Plasma Blast.

Depends on how competitive you want to be and how much money you want to spend.

Tier 1 + $$$: Virizion/Genesect, Blastoise
Tier 1 + cheap: Darkrai, Deoxys/Plasma 'mons (once the tins are out)
Fun + cheap: Trubbish/Sigilyph/tools, Weavile/Exeggcute, etc

The Plasma deck will be cheap once the tins come out in September, but Plasma Blast will be out by the time, and Virizion/Genesect destroys that deck.
I would play Plasma only for Battle Roads, Nationals and Worlds. After that, that deck is dead and useless for competitive play.

I haven't tested the matchup so I can't say much about it but I can't see how it "destroys" the deck and makes it useless. It shuts off HTL, ok, but Kyurem+3 Deoxys+Silver Bangle still OHKOes EX's. I've only seen a few japanese lists of Deoxys/Kyurem but they seem to be dropping HTL in favor of Silver Bangle.

The problem really isn't the power creep itself, it's that they keep printing cards that are far below the level of the most commonly used cards. For example, there's a Psyduck that with one Water Energy can discard one Fire Energy from the defending Pokémon. It can't do anything else and also has a retreat cost of 3. There's a Thundurus that with one Lightning energy deals 30 damage and attaches an Energy card from the discard pile to a Benched Team Plasma Pokémon. This Thundurus has a second attack (2 Lightning, 2 anything to deal 90 and if it has a Plasma Energy attached, discards an energy from the defending Pokémon) and a retreat cost of 1.

To be fair, every set has its fair share of filler cards that no one is going to use. It would be nice to see TPC make more useful cards. Every set spawns one new deck (that's obvious and forced sometimes) and might modify pre-existing ones.

Yes, and it's one of the best.
If you feel curiosity I strongly recommend building that deck, I have two friends that use it and are fucking awesome.

Use Darkrai/hammer/Lasers+Absol PLF and you can sweep thru the meta lol
You need to master the art of T2 Night Spear+Hypno/Virbank and your opponent won't catch up.

When Plasma Blast comes out you'll struggle the loss of HTL but can do a full Hammertime and Absol+Silver Bangle deck and I'm sure it will be aweome too.

The only problem is that half of the deck might rotate after Worlds lel

(The bus that carries away the trash passed while I was writing this comment and I didn't take it out because I wanted to finish it, so I really hope this was helpful lol)

HTL gives you more KOs, and as >>12565930 pointed, Absol+Dark Claw+Hypnobank is crazy, even if they retreat the next turn you can catcher and Night Spear for a double KO

Hammers serve more as disruption and are played well along with Ghetsis, and Enhanced hammers wreck Plasma decks, which are the BDIF. By T2 you can KO active Kyurem with Night Spear+Dark Claw+Hypnobank and strip any other energy, which is really hard for them to keep up.

But what I would really recommnd is to play an hybrid between those two, but without the disruption cards, just hammers and lasers. You'll have to play less cards of each, but with Sableye's Junk Hunt along with Computer Search that's not a hard task.

>Play HTL

>Energy switch from Sableye, or use a Dark Patch you Junk Hunted last turn while Darkrai is still on bench
>Dark Claw

4 HTL, not 3. The extra KO's it makes possible are worth it. You don't really need 2 Crushing Hammer, one is enough and, depending on your metagame, you could drop it entirely. Max Potion is alright if you can fit it in and play multiple Energy Switch, otherwise it won't help you very much.

Fellow Darkrai players, what's your Supporter line up? I played 4 Juniper, 4 N, 4 Bianca, 1 Random Receiver before PLF came out but since I needed to find room for Absol, I switched to 4 Juniper, 4 N, 1 Bianca, 3 Random Receiver. I've seen a lot of people (mostly online) playing Skyla, but it hasn't helped me at all when testing it, I always want to draw cards rather than get a specific one.

He probably means to Junk Hunt for what you discarded with Juniper.

My strategy is pretty much "Spam Absol to OHKO their Kyurems and Plasma EXs and sweep with Darkrai afterwards"

Yeah, Absol is awesome against Plasma decks, since they have a full bench arround T2 or T3

Why do you think Ho-Oh hasn't had any luck in Japan, considering how strong Genesect/Virizion is? It's only a rebirth and attach for a ohko on either and can utilize Virizion EX's ability easily. It seems like it would only need a strong steel type for Kyurem. Maybe something like Scizor, since he would shut down a bunch of things.

In theory, it sounds good, but you must be discarding Ho-Oh and enough energy on your firsts turns for it to work, and Gensect EX can do 200 on T2.
Ho-Oh is a tech for mid or late game, and Genesect if fucking fast.
And maybe they play Plasma Frigate...

Anyone has a japanese decklist of a top Genesect/Virizion?

I'm building a variant of darkrai/absol using giratina (plasma) for easy 130 damage with htl+vcg. But I don't know if I should just stick with the standard darkrai/absol/sableye.
I use 2 giratina, 2 absol, 2 darkrai ex, 1 deoxis ex, 2 umbreon plasma, 4 htl, 2 vcg.

You are better off just using the "standard" attackers so you don't waste space on the extras

I think that If you use Absol, you don't really need Giratina, since Absol hits 140 with a full bench and Dark Claw, plus 30 from Hypnobank.
A good and reliable Darkrai deck would use:

x4 Darkrai EX
x3-4 Sableye
x1 Keldeo EX
X2 Absol PLF

Now, if you're thinking on a more agressive variant, searching early attacks more than the disruption and infinite items Sableye offers (And that's why you were thinking on Giratina), what comes to my mind would be this:

x4 Darkrai EX
x4 Absol PLF
x1 Keldeo EX
x1 Deoxys EX

You can use Darkrai as an early attacker, and Absol as a mid-late attacker.
As it was discussed above, Darkrai can Night Spear in T2 if everything goes according to the plan.
And Absol with full bench+Dark Claw+Deoxys+HTL/Virbank = 180, which is enough to OHKO anything in the meta without tools attached.

And Keldeo EX is just nice to Rush In status problems.

Also, I would highly recommend using more copies of crucial cards instead of a lot of different cards, since you have less chances of getting what you need that way.

Using two Umbreons means you need at least 3 Eevees, and you have a chance of just drawing a basic Eevee and getting donked before you can even draw a card.

Run 4 HTL and 4 Pokemon Catcher, and without Sableye you'll need to use Dowsing Machine as your Ace spec, si you can have a 5th of one of those

I'm this dude >>12567722
If you want to try a variant like an "All-out Attacker" Darkrai, I would try this:

Pokemon:
x4 Darkrai
x4 Absol
x1 Keldeo EX
x1 Deoxys EX
=8

Supporters:
x4 Juniper
x4 N
x3 Bianca
x3 Skyla (Since your strategy sounds more like a BigBasics deck, more than a regular Darkrai deck, you'll need more skylas for the crucial HTL, VCG or Pokemon Catcher.)
=14 (14 Supporters means almost every hand you draw must include a supporter)

Items:
x4 Ultraball
x4 Hypnotoxic Laser
x4 Pokemon Catcher
x4 Dark Patch
x4 Dark Claw
x3 Energy Switch
x1 Tool Scrapper
x1 Dowsing Machine
x2 Virbank City Gym
=27

Energies:
x11 Darkness

I'm not "The Expert of Darkrai" or something like that, it's just my suggestion and I think that would be a nice start for testing what I think you want.

I hope other Darkrai users reply so we can all help you by commenting on my decklist and adding other ideas.

Why don't you tell us more about the strategy you want to achievet?

Practically I've just returned to the game after a 5 year-hiatus and I'm not used to the meta right now...I live in a country where almost no one plays pokemon, and those who play, use Rayeels/Ho-oh ex, so I don't have much ideas about how to build a deck.
I've tought of using HTL´+ VCG for powering giratina and using Hex for 130 damage. Absol is the other main attacker and Darkrai is just for easy retrear with dark cloak

To know which are the best decks on the current and future meta, check this:
>>12563174
>>12563178

To have better ideas about deckbuilding I suggest reading blogs like sixprizes, they are pretty good for newcomers.
And why don't you test your decks at Pokemon TCG Online? it's free and you can play against a decent variety of decks before spending on the real cards.

And if your meta is that little, then you're safe from Landorus and Terrakion and can abuse it's outdated to be the very best lol

Also, if Absol PLF if your idea for the main attacker, then 4 copies of it is recommended, and build the deck arround it.
I think you're underestimating Darkrai EX, you can charge him on T2 and put a lot of preassure, and Night Spear attacks to the bench too, so you can clean the bench of eelektrics.

I would suggest testing this deck at PTCGO >>12568065
If you have more doubts you can always post them here, at least I'm willing to help you

Theme decks aren't thaaat cool lol
But they come handy to play the Trainer Challenge on PTCGO.
Th elite trainer box comes with nice extras like the dice, and by now the price is pretty low, so that was sweet
I think the good tin from Boundaries Crossed is the one with Keldeo EX, which one did you buy?
And packs are always cool, but I would buy a box instead of the theme decks and tin

Also I had no metal energy I only started collecting pokemon card during B&W however I used to have pokemon cards in the first generation. I must say I prefered their design much more and I check some of the card and HG SS had much better cards too. It's kind of a shame this generation has almost all the rare be 3D card I really dislike 3D pokemon when it come to pokemon cards. But yeah I am pretty much new so far I must have 2k cards
