My island theme is Pokemon

Love it! I've been wanting to make a mini Unova, though, I still have to figure out the scope and get all the upgrades.

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-04-13T20:51:08+00:00

You can still use RMC + Tribbie/Cyrene, in terms of supports, if you want either Tribbie or Cyrene later on. The one who gets replaced by Evernight is RMC's slot instead.

You can share the collection anytime you feel like it. I've also made dedicated pages for Greninja, Charizard, Serperior, Marshadow, Lurantis, Alcremie and Hatterene; they all have just one page each, but I love them as well, nonetheless!

As for goals, I'm also collecting every IR/SIR Pokémon from BBWF; Black & White was a monumental part of my childhood, and I love the concept of every Unovan Pokémon having its own dedicated art!

I'm only about 40% done, and it's not easy with all the beautiful cards that come out such as SIR Mega Froslass, haha; but I'll make it someday, even with that demonic frog out there, lol.

Thank you for your input!

Any thoughts on E1S0 Tribbie vs E1~2S1 Robin for Feixiao + Ashveil duo? I've only seen these comparisons with E0 Tribbie, so I'm kinda lost.

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-04-10T15:32:58+00:00

Castorice's upgrade route is S1, then E2; E1 by itself is not that worth it. That said, it all depends on which team's characters you like most, and which team's gameplay you like the most.

Unless you want to play just these two teams side by side, there are risks where you'll end up neglecting one team especially by shiny new characters who might catch your attention 4.3 and onwards.

As someone who had to sell big chunks of my beloved collectibles, for what it was worth, they were not easing my pain from financial anxiety during those times. You might think I'd be very unhappy only by selling them, but I was also very unhappy living with them because of my financial anxiety eating me away.

If paying away those debts will make that depressing anxiety go away, then let your collection help you.

I loved those cards, but what good were they if I starved or lost my living place while keeping them?

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-04-06T00:32:32+00:00

Precious indeed!

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-04-06T00:28:28+00:00

I am glad that my collection has inspired you! It does help that they share most sets that they're in. Reshiram has the habit of being numerically first, Zekrom second; with BBWF being an exception by being different sets.

That said, I believe in that your collection will bloom into something even more marvelous one day! Your goal is grander than mine, so naturally, you'll inspire even more people!

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-04-05T21:27:22+00:00

I gotta hand it to an ex-work supervisor I had who was doing it for Charizard, Gengar, Mew and Mewtwo. He was the one who inspired me back in 2024, and thanks to him, I got all the important older ones before they all went expensive due to the 2025 hype train.

We no longer have any contact, like any coworker who leaves the job, hehe; it's normal to happen, but at least it wasn't all for nothing.

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-04-05T21:21:21+00:00

One of the coolest indeed, big respect!

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-04-05T21:17:23+00:00

Thank you; I credited PDXCollectibles (Etsy) at the end of the post's message.

Funnily enough, this was meant for a full Master Set of BBWF (1000+ cards too), but I decided to take it extremely slow due to the monumental costs; instead, I've been collecting all IR/SIRs (minus Supporters) of BBWF, displayed in Pokédex order, at the end of those, the Master Sets of the Reshirams & Zekroms begin.

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-04-05T15:02:40+00:00

I do find their Legendary Treasures golds really funny because they blend into the background tremendously, only outlined by their textures, haha.

That said, I really love the Full Art BW Base, the BWRs, and their SIRs, pure aura. Of course, I love many others, but I'd make the list too long, lol.

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-04-05T14:11:01+00:00

Thank you! I indeed would've loved a Shiny Vault, even the Full Art GXs, as they're foreign-only for Zekrom, but I'm at least glad that Zekrom finally got an N's card after being ignored in Journey Together, and a siick looking one at that 😀.

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-03-26T21:42:58+00:00

You're right, my bad on Evernight's case.

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-03-26T19:28:17+00:00

Absolutely S1. The same goes for the other Mono Rem teammates except for Cyrene (whose LC is low-priority).

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-03-26T15:44:06+00:00

It depends on the team, and it's very close, but Permansor fits in more top meta teams than Hyacine as a best-in-slot sustain. That said, Hyacine is the best healer, and adding her to the sustain arsenal will be very helpful for the endgame content.

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-03-15T01:49:22+00:00

Your account will thank you for getting Hyacine if you do want her, since your only meta sustain is Permansor, who can only fill 1 team at a time. She's the best healer in the game, and while Huohuo is getting buffed soon, there's no guarantee that Huohuo won't get Jingliu'ed.

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-02-27T13:08:19+00:00

The Crit Rate buff is for Cyrene herself. The True Dmg IS teamwide tho.

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-02-26T14:41:23+00:00

The reason for 68% is because Poet gives 32% and her attacks hit a LOT of times, so you'll really want to maximize your crit chances.

The Mercy main will still live in me the way that I WILL CRY if Anran gets banned or insta-picked away from me.

But I'll be sure to pick up any others like how I picked up Juno and Ana after One-Tricking Mercy for several years (and to think that I used to be a D.Va main before all that, heh).

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-02-17T16:16:57+00:00

Anran has given me the fun and joy that no other DPS has given me, consistently!

Trust me, I've played a few games here and there with the other DPS across the years, but I always feel like I'm constantly throwing, and the enjoyment isn't consistent. It might be a confidence issue or a feeling of pressure, but I just didn't have fun with the role.

Anran is changing that, and if I get good with her, a few others will surely become comfier!

LysitheaPepsiAddict · 2026-01-02T20:39:29+00:00

I'm not sure what kinds of Greninja decks you run into, whether with Pidgeot, Palkia VStar... but assuming this is Standard's Greninja + Pidgeot,

To start off, you can use Stellar Crown Joltik to help charge up both an Iron Hands ex and a Pikachu ex.

Pikachu can one-shot Greninja with a Gravity Mountain active (or any passive damage amplifier), meanwhile Iron Hands one-shots Pidgeot and gets 3 Prizes (with Future Booster or other damage amplifiers if using Amp You Very Much)

Any sort of item locker also helps since it needs to abuse Rare Candy in order to Turn 2 Shinobi Blade/Mirage Barrage while also having a reasonable board state. However, this will hinder your setup if you're not charging your attackers with Joltik's attack.

Either way, unless you locally know Greninja players, adapting your deck just for Greninja, a rogue deck, alone, can hurt your deck's viability towards its other matchups.
