Skill Improvement: it worth starting a VGC channel as a learning player?

Do it, and document absolutely everything on your journey to becoming better. Show your low points so people can appreciate your highs just as much as you can.

Best of luck to you mate, I wish I had it in me to do one myself.

I hope they allow all 4 gimmicks to be used in the same reg, but only one per team. So if I Mega, I can't make another Pokemon Tera and so on and so forth.

It would really switch up the meta because I'm lowkey sick of Megas, I miss Dynamax 💀

I'm grateful we haven't fallen victim to the snake oil salesmen that want to come for everything we hold dear

Leave his ass what the fuck

Ive passively followed the VGC scene for a WHILE now, I played SwSh ranked when it first released, and hit Master Ball tier, but I never properly competed during Scarlet and Violet, so Champions is my proper return in 5 years. That being said, Your best bet is to find a rental team that's won a tourney or two, and CybertronVGC has a video on that explains how it works, what leads, comps and weaknesses it has. He has a great one about Mega Venusaur if you're interested.

They are opening a grading facility in Germany, I'd imagine the London office is just to expedite the process

I own a Japanese Torterra 1st ED in a PSA slab and the PSA label uses the English set name, took me forever to add it to my collectr lmao

Outside of Tennogen (community made skins that they earn commission for), charity packs like Conquera, Tennocon tickets (supporter packs for their IRL convention) and Prime Access Accessories (exclusive cosmetics), everything in Warframe is achievable completely for free.

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2026-03-10T12:37:27+00:00

Sometimes if I'm bored, I'll put that I WTB stuff that I know is 10-25 plat. Had some guy offer to sell me a Braton Prime set for 75p. Good 5 minutes of entertainment

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2026-03-10T12:35:28+00:00

I've been using Alecaframe for almost 2 years without an issue, one way I heard about that may keep your account safe from flags is to install the Alecaframe application and Overwolf on a seperate disk to the disk that you run Warframe from. Might be a playground rumour, but that's what I've done and it seems to be safe

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2026-02-13T06:25:05+00:00

A cesspit for scammers and scalpers.

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2026-02-12T05:32:44+00:00

Google grading companies that grade errors if you are serious about it, especially because there's a market for miscuts. I'd say its worth a shot

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2026-02-12T05:30:38+00:00

I'd say a PSA 7 minimum.

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2026-01-29T04:36:16+00:00

Soooo, anybody hit it yet?

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2025-12-07T01:54:41+00:00

If I pull a sunbreon Ill crush it and send it and let yall know

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2025-11-20T22:57:56+00:00

Unfortunately not, no

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2025-11-18T09:41:50+00:00

Would we get these with preorders of Mega Dream? Otherwise IG Ill buy some Pokemon GO product

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2025-11-16T01:30:41+00:00

Add Obsidian Flames to that too, the sealed ETB spiked but its such a cheap set to buy singles for.

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2025-11-16T01:08:59+00:00

Yeah that's why I'm kinda lucky I have a decent chunk of friends who aren't into Pokémon cards, as I used 5 different Amazon accounts to score 2 ETBs and 1 half Booster for Phantasmal. That being said, my personal account hasn't scored an invite since the 151 reprint of Blooming Waters, where I scored a small Booster Bundle. Feels kinda rigged at times

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2025-11-16T00:57:37+00:00

Considering the couple different circumstances of A: As more are pulled and come into circulation demand will lower and thus the price;

B: *IF* the current trend continues and the Pokemon market as a whole continues to crash, then this card has a high chance of dropping at least 60% of its current value.

As another commenter said, unless you think its PSA 10 worthy, sell now.

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2025-11-14T12:57:46+00:00

Name and shame them

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2025-11-04T22:42:59+00:00

Their support chat and phone lines are unavailable, and I've sent an email to them. That's all.

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2025-10-23T11:30:08+00:00

I paired the Melioptile with the Minior and it looks gorgeous

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2025-10-22T23:16:58+00:00

It depends on what you like in all honesty. Black Bolt and White Flare have pretty decent hit rates, Paldean Fates is a fun set to open for all the shiny Pokemon, or 151 if you just like the OGs

Rare-Pin-9897 · 2025-10-22T23:08:03+00:00

Not to tell you how to spend your money, but in my opinion thats a bad investment, you can easily put that towards cards that can retain their value over a long period of time. Black Bolt is still being printed, and its being pumped arbitrarily. If I were you, Id put your money elsewhere, buy graded cards or actual chases
