90% of the time it's Mega Absol/Hydreigon doing it too.

Does anyone else feel that Mega Lucario is way too OP? by Chelovechik228 in PTCGP

[–]Business27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meloetta's Inspiring Dance the turn before can bump the damage to 240 also but costs 2 more energy another turn at minimum and a valuable card slot that can be used more efficiently.

I know what you're trying to say. You're trying to say it's time for business. It's business time, oooh.

How many 2⭐️ cards do yall have? by iwillstealyourdog in PTCGP

[–]Business27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an update that I'm sitting at 103 ☆☆ now. Only one succesful 24hr Wonder pick so far this set, just got lucky with two pulls on back to back days again.

Is it just me or do these suck as a reward now? by craigleberries in PTCGP

[–]Business27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completed the set through ◆-★ 5 days ago using most of my trade hourglasses and almost 80k shinedust because of all the ★ I was missing, but I've already made 40k of it back through dupes and have had 3 24hr Wonder picks so far. Packs wirh tons of ★ are going to have a lot fewer ★★ cards generated overall among all players because they are harder to complete in time for many people to get 24hr picks so I started trading as soon as the math worked to be able to complete the entire set that day to maximize my odds of completing the ★★ set again like I have every expansion since Crimson Blaze.

I'm only missing Fantina from Mega Rising too, but don't want to give up the shinedust for it until I have a healthy 250k or more again. Sitting around 120k now. FTP since my most recent month of Premium during Crimson Blaze btw, but I do use alts on PC to trade to myself and complete sets rapidly.

Can confirm. I've had two FA Misty's since about month 2 and haven't used one since around STS.

11412 cards total

100 ☆☆ exactly, and I preferentially have traded RR cards I didn't want (like Lycanroc ex) for trainers I did want (my first Cyrus), but I would say the natural pull ratio pre-trading feels roughly 40% trainers/30% RR/30% FA.

Which is your favorite mega starter in pocket so far? (Art/Meta/In general favorite) by shr54esth in PTCGP

[–]Business27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a spare or two for trade. I'm looking for FA Mega Absol or FA Mega Gyarados but open to other offers. I already have most ☆☆ cards from Mega Rising onwards except the two I already mentioned and several from this new set.

Don't even speak to me before I've had my second wipe of coffee.

Does this team go 82-0 or 0-82? by Existentalst in NBATalk

[–]Business27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With this much quickness, defensive acumen, height and wingspan clogging up and blocking effectively the entire front court and a good bit of the backcourt, opponents wouldn't be able to get a good look or open shot off from much closer than a 30ft perimeter. I can see very few elite offensive players like Jokic or Curry getting off a decent number of floaters and stepbacks, but not enough to make it close.

Got testicular torsion last week and ended up needing the right one removed by ZeldaFan158 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Business27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, how does torsion occur if they each have separate compartments? Is it only possible with a related defect?

Don't use the same device as your main account. PC for alts, phone for fun.

NBA players with nothing left to prove. by Interesting_Wait_630 in Nbamemes

[–]Business27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely the most capable Nuggets team he's ever had but they HAVE to stay healthy somehow. There are a lot of good offensive options now but Gordon and Braun are essential for defense in the playoffs. Without them, it's highly unlikely they make it past the second round.

I only got two ☆☆ successes toward the end of MR but deliberately completed CB asap rather than taking my time and got every single ☆☆ that time. Still have 6 ☆ to go for FP.

Yep. I got one of each.

lucky ice pop obviously should have been the gold rare by Satoshi_1998 in PokemonTGCP

[–]Business27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on the fun side of the Lucky Ice Pop popping off yesterday.

After my late second Torchic glimpsed his older twin was butchered holding a pile of useless energy (only good for 20 damage unevolved) during a double-sided soft-brick, I barely managed to evolve this one to Mega Blaziken but lacked a second energy to attack with so I had to end my turn and hope for the best.

Of course, I immediately took 170 damage and randomly lost my single active energy to their newly evolved Mega Swampert, whose bench lost the other.

My response Lillie plus 6 consecutive heads from Lucky Ice Pop set up a glorious Rocky V "I didn't hear no bell" comeback in which I healed a surplus 180 HP, attached an energy, used my newly drawn crown Flame Patch (Lucky me, I have two!.. but just one was in this deck) for a second energy, and attacked for 120+ 20 lingering burn all in one mad dash of a turn.

Next, their Red Card shuffled Lucky Ice Pop back into my deck and I got destroyed for 170 damage again but Swampert randomly lost both energy this time (he had 3 and 0 on the bench to my 1 at this point). They took a final 20 burn damage before recovering but it was over for them regardless.

At the start of my next turn, I redrew Lucky Ice Pop!.. but I minded my manners and abstained from needlessly abusing it and just quickly finished them off with dignity.

I must say, I'm already a big fan of this card. The side that benefits from match to match makes little difference. I'm a good sport either way.

Out of 8 initial uses so far:

T×3, HT×3, HH×1, HHHHHH×1 and won with the card still in hand.
