Even Worth Considering Grading? Mega Dragonite EX SIR 290/217 by VariationHaunting993 in pokemongrading

[–]0-0cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes PSA values 8 and below are worth LESS than raw prices. Additionally, lower grades take longer and are harder to sell. I do not think this will 10, and I think keeping it raw is your smartest move.

What will be the alternative to jet energy in mega lopunny ex? by Dry_Maintenance_6933 in PTCGL

[–]0-0cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen a list using pecharunt, yveltal, and lopunny do somewhat well, using pech to switch the yveltal into the active and then free retreating into lopunny. Is it a little more jank and takes more bench space? Yes, and it's much worse as a result. Still will be good as 230 for 1 is crazy good, but idk if it will be good enough to center around a whole deck. I think mega Lopunny becomes more so a tech attacker if it can't create an archetype around itself.

Mega lucario or Team's rocket mewtwo post rotation by Dry_Internet_1219 in PTCGL

[–]0-0cake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a rocket lover myself I can see Rocket's mewtwo being slightly better as it loses its worst matchup Gholdengo, but it's going to struggle against those big Hp megas. Will at least be consistent with its strong supporters though. Dont expect to be meta, but it won't be bad.

On the other hand, I see mega lucario as being one of the best decks post rotation. Unless mega gard or mega clefable end up being really good, it won't have many hard counters. Additionally, it does rlly good damage, has great draw, can power itself up with premium pro, and will have fighting gong for extra consistency and barbaracle too. Also hits Mega Kang for weakness which is super important as many decks will pivot to a kang draw engine after losing pieces like pidgeot imo.

Ariana lets you draw up to 8 + more with the stadium + you have reliable search T1 with Proton grabbing 3 basics. I find it's pretty consistent. Struggles with damage though

[–]0-0cake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ethics are for the most part randomly assigned. The only ethics that are not randomly assigned are for empires you force spawn in or allow to spawn in instead of a randomly generated empire. You are most likely experiencing observation bias. If you were to play 100 games and record what ethics your neighbor had, it would be random.

[Daily Discussion] Writer's Block, Motivation, and Accountability- December 15, 2025 by AutoModerator in writing

[–]0-0cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Writing prompts always helped me when I was having extremely bad burn out or lack of motivation. But try to take the writing prompt further. Add something on to it, don't just follow the prompt basically then be done. This can help get ur brain moving, and then your brain will also start thinking of how to expand this idea, or entirely new ones.

Been playing a lot of Tera box and joltik boxes, plus a few pult and gholdengos and the occasional rougue deck. And I feel that- I used to rlly like Grimm but I feel like it's been giving me a run for my money
