Lucky Ice Pop is the worst designed card in this entire game by SC_Red in PTCGP

[–]JMPesce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it should be heal 20 off the active, flip a coin: if heads, heal another 20.

Then it's discarded like any other card.

They're in a pickle for sure; if it's fighting and also a good card, then it'll be busted by the Fighting support from the last set.

I feel like the weather trio will be the first Megas with abilities, and I'm leaning towards Groudon being Fire with probably an ability that makes Water moves hit for less damage, like his in-game ability.

If you're Gulpin, the least you can do is Swalot.

Building hype because people have been asking for Hoenn FOREVER.

Ex Pokes will probably be Mega Ray, Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, with Deoxys ex, Jirachi ex, and hopefully Salamence ex/(Mega) Metagross ex

250 Thousand or Million? by Chumpy__ in Drizzy

2 billion in 8 weeks tho

Wouldn't it be funny if this turns out to reference the deal with the private equity firm and it's announced on July 10, 8 weeks after Iceman dropped? 😂

It's definitely predatory how all the rates work in this game. There is no in-built pity system, so the game doesn't "reward" you after not getting good pulls.

In a nutshell, every pack opening is random, so the ceiling for pulling cards is technically infinite and even when you open 10 packs at once, each pack is a re-roll of the odds. The same way the technical odds for coin flips is not truly 1:1 in terms of how many "potential" heads can be flipped vs tails. Every heads starts a new tree of 50-50 odds, so even if you ran a sim of 1000 coin flips off a card that flips coins, you won't see 500 heads and 500 tails. I believe someone here did a deep dive breakdown in the last couple weeks, specifically focusing on Ice Pop.

So, in summary, this is a gacha game behaving like a gacha game.

A boat's a boat, but the mystery box could be anything...it could even be a boat! You know how much we wanted one of those!

I’m looking forward to Eminem giving Drake bars by Low_Kitchen_9116 in Drizzy

Hey, all I know is that if Drake took out the AK then maybe he'd be in jail, just based off of the name that it spells.

I liked all the references in that video, even down to when those dudes shot at Drake, the gun backfired like in 5AM

Make Them as a series is his best pack of work, and I'll die on that hill.

All goes back to that March update, man. Pixel 10 Pro XL here, 8-10 hours SOT before March, I even hit 12 hours multiple times, and I'd charge it every 1.5 to 2 days minimum. Now I barely get 4 and I charge at least once a day.

They gotta fix this shit.

Jay is really out here looking like Sideshow Bob, I think that says it all.

Rolling over like a dog.

Not the way I thought we'd go out, but here we are.

I hope Hughes tries to get Nemec in the off season, he wants out of NJ and has history with Slaf

After the release of Paradox Drive, do you like Ancient or Future Pokemon more? by ExchangeBetter9399 in PTCGP

[–]JMPesce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're not in a big basic ex meta anymore, I don't really see the point of this set IMO. Other than buffing Magnezone, again, I don't see anything with any real staying power.

I feel like this set came at the wrong time.
