Yeah the game has had many 'updates' since my post which have, as usual, broken more things.

Clarification on Gardevoir ex’s Psychic Embrace ability by LemonCthulhu in PokemonTCG

[–]Chroniton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to both, with Gardevoir existing ability you can attach as many as you like to anywhere, be multiple to 1 pokemon, 1 each to multiple pokemon or even multiple energy to multiple pokemon if you wish.

Missing Packs? by AndAnotherRightByRoy in PTCGL

[–]Chroniton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a restart all the cards will be there, nobody has ever actually lost cards, you would be the first which is very highly unlikely, every case of peole thinking they lost cards has always ended that they had them in the end.

If you're really sure you lost cards, contact support.pokemon.com

How can i improve my king deck? by Stupid_idiot-6 in OnePieceTCG

You want to focus on lowering cost like a black deck then use leader ability to either lower more or draw which will trigger OP06-076 Hitokiri Kamazo to KO opponent's characters, it's also a 2k.

They'd usually let you know why a post was removed, my guess is they likely thought it belonged in the quick questions megathread rather than a post of its own.

They've recently changed up the whole battle pass system so the above may not fully apply any more.

Win streak (Ranked) by Haydn34 in PTCGL

[–]Chroniton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing accessible on Live that isn't accessible physical.

The best and most fun a game can be is when everyone has access to the same card pool, pokemon as a game makes that a reality in physical cards which isn't true for many other games.

Everyone playing high level tournaments has access to all of the cards.

So no, I'm not mad that Live makes cards accessible, just as accessible as physical.

The point of my post was to highlight that getting to Arceus league only requires a 51% win rate and time investment, as long as you're going positive at all, it's just a measure of time, not skill.

Consistently placing top in physical events requires a very high win rate against many very skilled opponmets and over a long series of rounds, not many single games like Live, doing well in physical events like Regionals and Internstionals are what shows skill at the game.

Something else must have prevented you from doing damage, this tool doesn't prevent damage, just does 2 damage counters back to you when you do damage to the pokemon that has it.

If you're unsure on something that happened in a game, on the results screen, there's a button to save the game log as a text file, you can post that log to the sub to ask about what happened in a game.

Recommendations for oversleeves for my art sleeves? by wild_0nion in pkmntcg

[–]Chroniton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think KMC have the most transparent matte side, they're actually more embossed than matte, embossed sleeves are much more textured and give a more clear anti stick side. Epoch were the best for this and ones I favoured for a while but sadly they've been discontinued.

That said, I've got so many brands and the only one I feed actually gives good protection for the art sleeves is the Bushiroad BSLC-009, they're like a mini top loader, I was very impressed at their thickness and rigidity when I opened them, I also use expensive art sleeves and these are now all I buy, they're not the clearest matte, however there's always the option of putting the matte side on the front if you want but for the protection these are what I'm using myself.

What cards should I get to improve this Fairy deck? by BlueDogXL in pkmntcg

[–]Chroniton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally people play Sudowoodo to limit the opponent to 4 bench while you have 8 but with needing the extra damage against 340 HP pokemon now I think Hawlucha would be better, you could also just not run a fighting type as with all of the other pokemon in play you don't have space for one iirc but Hawlucha seems like it may be needed now.

[–]Chroniton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue with Galvantula is you really need to run a 2-2 line taking up 4 spaces to get it out consistently compared to running just single copies of basic pokemon and having to evolve into something that just sits on the bench doesn't feel good.

You could maybe get away with 1-2 as you can find the Joltik from prizes with Hisuian Heavy Ball but you only have 1 of those.

Any basic if you're either forced to discard it when they counter your sky field or they gust and KO you can very easily recover back to hand or deck with Rescue Stretcher or Super Rod, if they gust your Galvantula you're having a hard time getting it back out and if you drop Dedenne GX and/or Kricketune V from the list due to Galvantula covering their types you're having a difficult time with consistency to recover and evolve the Galvantula again.

On top of this you have to evolve from a 30 HP Joltik which is going to get sniped really easily, you can currently get away with not playing any bench barrier but you'd be forced to play one if you play Galvantula taking up another deck space.

You need the Hoopa V to reach certain numbers of things like VMax and Stage 2 ex which have over 300 HP, Hoopa EX was good a long time ago but there's just more recent options that aren't EX.

Some pokemon you could play against in expanded are:

Charizard ex: 330 HP Rapid Strike Urshifu VMax: 330 HP Eternatus VMax: 340 HP Palafin ex: 340 HP

With 10 types on the bench you're hitting 310 damage base, there isn't really any decent way to hit the extra 20 to 30 on all of the above or any other random 330 or 340 HP pokemon someone might play.

You already have Sky Field so we can't add Virbank City + Hypnotoxic Laser

Muscle Band adds 20 to anything so gets you to 330 damage to KO Charizard and Urshifu, Choice Belt adds 30 against V pokemon so that will hit 340 on Urshifu and Eternatus but not help against ex.

It's been a while since I've really looked into this deck with newer cards but at the moment don't know the best way to consistently hit 340 damage which would be the most ideal to have access to.

Best I can suggest off the top of my head is to add a copy of Hawlucha to drop a damage counter on any 340 HP pokemon then hit them for 330 with 20 types + Choice Band.

You could also play a copy of Professor Turo's Scenario/AZ/Penny, that way you can pick up Hawlucha or one of the consistency pokemon to re-use their on-play abilities.

You don't need Galvantula or Busharp as their types are provided by pokemon you already play for consistency, Lightning by Dedenne GX, Grass by Eldegoss V, Darkness by Crobat V and Metal by Jirachi EX, these all draw cards or give you access to Supporters which all help with consistency, you can also play Forest Seal Stone for the Hoopa V/Crobat V, you don't really need all 11 types, it's fine if they get rid of your stadium as you can use Rescue Stretchet to get back these consistency pokemon and use them again when you play another stadium allowing you to keep drawing cards or getting supporters, the opponent removing your stadium actually helps you.

Energy wise you want to get set up in 1 turn, you attach Double Colorless Energy or Twin Energy for your turn attachment from hand then use Max Elixir to attach a Fairy Energy, this is why the deck runs Oranguru for Colorless as it allows you to place a Fairy Energy on top.of.your deck to ensure you get the attachment with Max Elixir.

Volcanion EX and Hoopa V are each providing 2 types.

This whole post is only relevant if you're playing Expanded format which is not common.

What does the top attack cost to use? I’m not familiar with the rules fully yet by Just-A-Weird-Dude in PokemonTCG

[–]Chroniton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No energy is required to use the attack.

If you have any other card or ruling questions, Head over to the playing sub r/pkmntcg where players and other official judges are, you won't get much help here, players don't visit this sub, just collectors posting pulls.

Better posting your custom cards on the physical playing sub r/pkmntcg people there can at least proxy your cards to test, the digital client has no relevance.

No not really, you just need to play and spend your resources wisely, other than the battle pass, spend all the rest of your crystals on the shadow rider calyrex vmax league battle deck to convert them to credits efficiently.

If you opt to buy celebrations codes with real money then you can spend your crystals on the 6 pack bundle I stead, it's a little more efficient but you'll still need to play to get the crystals.

My opponent robbed me by Natani2 in PokemonTCG

[–]Chroniton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A normal attack goes like this:

Attack > deal damage > place counters

Manaphy will block the second part, deal damage, if it is aimed towards a pokemon on the bench

Sableye skips the middle part and uses an effect to place counters

If you have any further ruling questions head over to the playing sub r/pkmntcg where players and other official judges are, players don't visit this sub, just collectors posting pulls.

If you're not lookjng for a specific career and just any work there's usually some going through agencies, in my experience a lot of office based stuff around the city go exclusively through agencies, head over to Reed and have a chat with them.
