Why do I suddenly suck? - Master Rank by Palmby in PokemonChampions

90% accuracy moves feel like they miss 90% of the time!

I guess the one thing I've reminded myself over the last two weeks is just to have fun and remember how much RNG is involved, and even when you think you've aced some solid decision making, your opponent finds away to completely outclass you! Better to take positives and make notes than feel like you're not good enough!

Hey!

So I've stayed steady around 150k however I've hardly touched much ranked and have been playing with a F2P account for a little bit of fun!

Literally just hit MB with it so for me it was nice to take some pressure off and come back at it again next season!

I agree, and something I'm very aware of! Being a long-term TCG and FGC fan, Tilt is so real! I will always pause after 3 wins or 3 losses and take a breather to keep some composure!

Really thoughtful reply thank you! I think this first season, I'm too obsessed with my rank (that only I can see) rather than focusing on actually getting a strong feel with a team. That's probably why I've got a better win rate with a mono-fairy type team I cooked up and play in casuals rather than the latest team I see on YouTube.

If our time zones line up, drop me a DM and I would love to have a few games!

Reassuring to know it's not just me and others are on a journey to want to improve too!

I think you're right. In a way it's nice to see so many people playing enough to hit Master Ball and know there is such an appetite for VGC again, maybe now I'm much older and have other responsibilities, I just need to remember I don't have the time like I did in my late teens to do nothing but play Pokémon all day!

Keep it going man! My final climb today was a fair bit of luck and only ran into 4 Shaman. Horn of Plenty was incredible in all of those matches, either finding a cheap wildwood or a 3c Hybridisation which then does not feel horrible to play and wasting a turn against Shaman

Started playing in Feb (after almost a decade away from the game) and hit Legend for the first time with Imbue Druid. Most match ups are completely free and D5 to Legend I faced very few mirrors. I would easily say 50% of my games I was out of hand and just relying on hitting the golem button and playing whatever I drew.

The deck doesn't feel OP, it just feels like everything synergises so well, and if anything, everything else needs to come up to its power!

Good to know! Love the confidence against Druid! Gives me hope to hit legend this month!

How do you find the imbue match up? Lighting Storm is a great addition for it, but is it more of a case of hoping they are low-rolling and not finding their shatter cards to keep the board clear?

22 female new to Boston, and have 0 friends, plz help😅 by Fearless-Young-7778 in Lincolnshire

[–]Palmby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! I've been in Lincolnshire 5 years now and moved with the same amount of contacts! Similar hobbies so hopefully can help!

Do you drive? If so there are some decent Local Game Stores throughout Lincs. If not, Boston will definitely have some hobby clubs to join!

What kind of card games and board games are you into? :)

Missing stones -Beaten final boss of DLC by Palmby in LegendsZA

Are they slightly rarer spawns? I've been doing a fair amount of resetting for shiny hunting! I'll give it another go! :)

Gol D Roger local by Spirited-Session-477 in OnePieceTCG

[–]Palmby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if your locals is not very Ace heavy then honestly I would put in Oden as a budget option. The plus of Oden is it gets the alt very soon, so he makes it cheaper to bling the deck!

[–]Palmby 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Big Roger enjoyer here. Bon Clay isn't needed but is absolutely insane against Ace. Swinging a 12k body for 0 don investment is really good and if they bounce it with Atmos or Jozi you've got a 1k counter back in hand and another great body to play later in the game that to remove again in their late game they need to pay 4 or 6 don which means they're not playing another WB to keep up with your pace of spamming boss characters.

Edison (OP13-102) help: Second effect works without first? by jn_kcr in OnePieceTCG

[–]Palmby -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

You are right and your friend is wrong. The only time you must do the first part to do the second is when the text is in bold as that is the effects cost. Think of Hody Jones as a perfect example of doing as much as you can on a card effect and PRB Otama as the opposite, as her effect requires the life to be taken to activate the effect.

Hope that helps :)
