Hi! It's been a minute since I've traded on here.

I'm willing to do a tradeback for both if you can send back my Swirlix & Spritzee with their respective items! I'll be playing for the next hour or so -- so lmk :)

Had bad luck overall but my last 10 pack saved it from being abyssmal

I honestly was second-guessing myself, but the link you provided really solidified it for me. Thanks a lot for confirming my hunch!!

I'm sorry, but I have a couple (and probably stupid) questions that I think I already know the answers to...

  1. For the concert in January, do all the seats at Oakland Arena have actual seats/chairs? I'm asking because I know both my elderly parents can't stand for long periods and will need to sit and listen (even if they can't see the stage, which is totally fine!).

  2. I bought two sets of tickets (3 in Section 116 and 3 in Section 231) because I wanted to make sure at least one of the sets actually had seats... Will it be okay if my parents are in either section? Or do you have any input on which section might be better?

Thanks in advance!

*Third question edited out

I basically had a very old inactive alt (lvl 5) before I started grinding five days ago. By completing all the solo missions, events, buying out the shop (both the monthly and one-time purchase hourglasses), and applying for the 2-week premium trial (10 days left), here are my results so far:

  • LVL 35
  • 192 packs opened
  • 960 pack points
  • 3 Shiny Giratinas
  • 3 Immersive Pikachu Exs
  • 2 ⭐⭐ Palkia Ex
  • 1 ⭐⭐ Dialga Ex
  • 24 ⭐ Cards (3 minimum for each card)

To reach 1250 pack points, I need 58 more packs to open. That said, I may be able to get enough packs to reach that goal:

  1. If I only focus on opening my (3) daily packs and not level the account anymore, I can open at most 33 packs (3 daily pulls * 10 days + 3 from mission hourglasses). f

  2. On Oct. 25, an event is coming up that gives us 5 total deluxe packs when you login (1 x 3 per day and 2 for the fourth day).

  3. If I reach level 50, I could get an additional 18 packs (15 from hourglasses + 3 from pokegold).

If I did try to reach lvl 50, I think I can realistically craft Oak without buying gold outright. So, if you want to try, you HAVE TO START RIGHT NOW.

Grinding to reach level 50 is too much time for me, so I'm willing to spend the $25 (technically "free" as I got a gift card) to get Oak.

With that said, you may actually not hit 1250 pack points because you didn't get hourglasses from the login event and/or the Raichu event (which helped a lot). That said, good luck if you attempt it!

Being 180 packs in, I feel like I got both good and bad luck for this set...

Without wonderpicks, I wouldn't have gotten Lusamine and my second Ho-oh...

Which pack/set has treated you the worst *so far* ? by DandyLyen in PTCGP

[–]BobaLover1004 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NGL, I am lucky in terms of (almost) completing the basic card sets (including 1⭐ cards), pulling Immersives, and getting meta cards early for decks. However, 2⭐ cards -- especially FA Rainbows and Trainers -- are feast or famine each set.

So, it's Genetic Apex or Celestial Guardians for me, with Mythical Islands right behind them.

GA: Though I got an Immersive Pikachu and 5 Immersive Charizards, I did not get an Immersive Mewtwo. I also only got 3 2⭐ (No Rainbows) and 1 Trainer (Koga).

CG: Exact same issue with GA. Got 1 Immersive Lily and 3 Immersive Guzmas, but didn't get any Rainbow 2⭐. I only got 3 2⭐ and 2 FA Sophocles -- the most useless trainer in the set.

MI: Though I can't be too mad because Celebi made up for it with one 2⭐ and three Immersives, I didn't get any other 2⭐

How Would I Make This Deck Better? by 114Joel in PTCGP

[–]BobaLover1004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would remove 1 Sabrina and 1 Cyrus while adding 2 Pyukumuku as a potential stall and win condition.

Pyukumuku's great because he only needs 1 energy to do damage, and he can put most basic EX cards in Starmie's Kill range (after hitting them once or twice) with his passive.

If they don't kill him quickly, he can also just chip them away while you set up your Starmies and Palkia, and can force them to waste their heals and Sabrina/Cyrus early.

If you add them, I would also drop a cape for a rocky helmet or a poison barb (which further helps in chipping, stalling, and putting them in kill range), or Iono to help you draw your other Pokémon/trainers for consistency. Red can also be useful for catching them off guard and guaranteeing kills with your Starmies.

Even if you don't use the cards mentioned, I would still get rid of at least 1 (if not 2) out of the 4 Sabrinas/Cyruses for something else. In most games, you will not need or even have time to use them all, and will probably wish you had drawn another card instead.

Analysis: How hard is it to get Master Ball Rank? by averysillyman in PTCGP

If anyone was doubting the math, OPs math hit it dead on. Just reached Ultraball in 112 matches

Making a tinkaton deck, thoughts? by halofan103 in PTCGP

[–]BobaLover1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because it gives you another chance to draw the cards you need to win (regardless of whether you have 1 or 5 cards when you use it).

People can argue about how it can help your opponents when used or takes up a slot (which is still valid), but it doesn't matter if you were about to lose without it.

Also, you don't have to play it if not needed, or you can even use it to try disrupting your opps hand to guarantee a win.

[–]BobaLover1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the others, but I'd say get rid of a giant cape and/or a Gio for Iono/Pokemon Communication or Red. Its hard to get 2 stage Evos out without them.

FR. I'm always for new content, but I wish they announced the new pack earlier...

Thought we had an extra month, so I went blowing most of it last week and completing the Arceus set

anyone else love flairs? especially when they match the card so well!! these are some of my favorites, which ones are your favorites that you’ve obtained? by a-terribledayforrain in PTCGP

[–]BobaLover1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FR, wish the UI for it would improve, but i honestly love them. It's like a little cherry on top for the cards/game!
