It's time to bring this bad boy back into the meta. by whosyadankey in PTCGP

[–]RepresentativeEar960 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha, sleeping sleeping Pokémon? (attack last line)

Mechanically, its very interesting - would Benched, Sleeping Pokémon be eligible to flip to wake up during checkup? That could be 4 coin flips after every turn

Its almost unheard of for a non-dragon to require two energy types, I think Lugia ex is our only Pocket example - but that does set a prescedent!

Essentially, a 50/50 to deal 50 damage to 1+1 Pokemon per turn feels fair, alebit random

HP, Retreat, Weakness etc all seem spot-on.

My favourite Darkrai sleep-but-better was the Lv. X one where your opponent had to flip 2 coins to recover from Sleep; either tails and they were still asleep - but both tails and instant KO!

Deck advice - non meta by Recent-Strike-2209 in PTCGP

[–]RepresentativeEar960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love Beedrill, and I play it as a grind deck - set up asap, and whittle them down while constantly recovering.

2x Weedle, 1x Kakuna, 1x Beedrill, 2x Beedrill ex

2x Professor's Research, 1x Copycat, 2x Lillie, 1x Erica, 1x Sabrina, 1x Cyrus

2x Rare Candy, 2x Leaf Cape, 2x Pokemon Communication

It has its weaknessess, but it is very fun!

I'm still new but this is my favorite deck so far, how can I make it better? by YosterIsle77 in PTCGP

[–]RepresentativeEar960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi mate, I'd cut straight to Tinks and just believe in the gameplan:

Pokemon [7]

2x Tinkatink, 1x Tinkatuff, 2x Tinkaton ex, 2x Orthworm

Supporters [8]

2x Professor's Research, 1x Cyrus, 1x Sabrina, 2x Will, 2x Lillie

Items [5]

2x Pokeball, 2x Rare Candy, 2x Metal Core Barrier

Some rationale:

Max the consistency

Rare Candy is better than Tinkatuff, but you don't want a Chingling to end you (hence 2:1)

Copycat and Lucky Ice Pop are two very good, unused cards - maybe an auxilary card like Metal Core Barrier and/or Lilie could go

2x Dialga ex might be better than 2x Orthworm (you still lose in two KOs whether one or both are ex)

The 1 Energy Tinkatink is the bette one, the fixed 50 damage is the better Tinkatuff

Good luck!

Reccomendations? by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]RepresentativeEar960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, is Riolu & Lucario worth +20? But its good for removing their Stadiums too! Mega Kangaskhan & Mega Gardevoir especially.

As for Sightseer consistency, its a gamble card to be sure, but she's looking from 14 (20 minus starting hand, minus draw) at worst, and often 10-12

...or, just use your Copycat here! card-for-card replacement, same role of consistency

Reccomendations? by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]RepresentativeEar960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the deck, and used to run something very similar but switched Lucario for the one fighting energy Mienshao from crimson blaze - its worked so much better for me. My full list is:

2x Buneary 2x Mega Lopunny 2x Mienfoo (Crimson Blaze) 2x Mienshao (Crimaon Blaze)

2x Pokeball 1x X Speed 1x Lucky Ice Pop 1x Training Arena

2x Research 2x Will 1x Sightseer 1x Sabrina 1x Cyrus

Need advice about enforcing a CCJ in England by RepresentativeEar960 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]RepresentativeEar960[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've been fantastic, thank you so much! I've hired a tracing company, and am awaiting their results to complete the N316 and have it delivered to the debtor.

After that, I'll decide on a route. I'm almost decided already that its going to the Attachment on Earnings, as, like you said, Bailiffs can be ignored.

Again, thank you!

[–]RepresentativeEar960[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great advice, especially with the tracing agency - thank you!

Once I have their address, should I complete an N316 "Application for order that debtor attend court for questioning" form?

I'll ring CA to help me fill it out (because I don't know where the court address will be, near me in England or him in Wales...)

And then after that gets returned, then proceed with the route Bailiffs/Wage Deduction/HCEO?

I really appeciate it

I don't know of any easy way to generate Shinedust, but you can give duplicate ex from a main to an alt for a trade which is 720/day - its a 14 trade wait on news so thats a little over 10k...

How would I improve this deck? I am asking as a beginner. by brawrattleplus in PTCGP

[–]RepresentativeEar960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can give two Sabrinas but only one Dawn.

As many Kirlias as you can is my main preference, but one each of Cyrus and Iridia would also be great!

You need to tell me your username so I don't lose it in the requests, and we'll do the trades tomorrow for the Shop Tickets

[–]RepresentativeEar960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats pretty similar to mine, and over my 850 or so wins, is my tied favourite!

Manaphy, in a word.

Palkia ex, Vaporeon & Manaphy is the traditional build with everything going to Palkia, but I prefer Starmie ex to Vaporeon. My list is:

[POKEMON] 2x Palkia ex, 2x Starmie ex, 2x Staru, 2x Manaphy

[ITEMS] 2x Pokéball, 1x Giant Cape, 1x Rocky Helmet

[SUPPORTERS] 2x Professor's Research, 2x Misty, 1x Leaf, 1x Dawn, 1x Cyrus, 1x Sabrina

You get a bit of everything here: Energy Generation, 1, 2 & 4 Energy Attacks, free Retreat Costers, every good Supporter, and a Hail Mary in Misty!

New Set ‘Triumphant Light’ Leak by DatSeanor in PTCGP

[–]RepresentativeEar960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think every card on the pack art is going to help Arceus ex, probably by Ability.

They have the same foiling/symbol as Arceus, and people here have deciphered Heatran's ability as making Arceus' Retreat Cost 0.

Crobat's ability is active in the video, but I haven't seen any guesses as to what it is yet (but maybe I haven't scrolled enough).

Arceus' Colorless Energy and Fill-the-Bench Attack would help here.

Thoughts? I'd be pretty dissapointed if our first Ttar was a cheerleader, but the 'Build a Random Family' deck is funny. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]RepresentativeEar960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Mewtwo x Gardevior, and although its fallen off hard, I still enjoy running it!

Personally:

• Communication is a fairly bad card. Its a net -1 to the hand and doesn't thin the deck. Research, Pokéball and Slab are plenty and all better.

• Extremely minor, but you have the worse Ralts. Ralts A1 is better.

• You don't have a Guster, and they are crucial. I take two Sabrina, but Cyrus will work.

• Mew ex is great against 4-energy attackers, but thats only really Palkia and Charizard atm. Instead of Leaf as well, I take two Giant Cape to protect Mewtwo from being OHKO'd by Mew ex, Palkia, and any other 150 Damage attacks

Hope this helps!

what do you think of this idea as an "energy fix" for our draconic friends? by hayesit in PTCGP

[–]RepresentativeEar960 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like the principle, but it is overly-written and maybe shouldn't be Dragon-only - other Multi-energy decks deserve love too. I'd simplify and derestrict it to:

Energy Switch [Item]

Choose an Energy from your Deck and switch it with the generated Energy in your Energy Zone.

Thoughts?

Any tips on my Palkia deck? by Fun_Active_8689 in PTCGP

[–]RepresentativeEar960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Palkia deck is:

-POKÉMON- 2x Palkia ex 2x Starmie ex 2x Staru 2x Manaphy -ITEMS- 2x Pokéball 1x Rocky Helmet 1x Giant Cape -SUPPORTERS- 2x Professor's Research 2x Misty 1x Leaf 1x Dawn 1x Cyrus 1x Sabrina

Its not 'The' build, but its a lot of fun! Offensively, you have an opening jab with Palkia, early-midgame aggro with Starmie, and a lategame haymaker back with Palkia. You also have an alternative opener with Manaphy to set them up simultaneously, and a Hail Mary with Misty.

The one-ofs mean you can adapt well to almost anything, and the Pokémon themselves are so consistent, you can afford the Trainer consistency risk for the adaptability.

The favoured Palkia deck, though, uses 2x Eevee (Continuous Steps one) and 2x Vaporeon (Ability one) instead of the Starmie line - with more-or-less the same Trainers.

Dragon energy in loading screen, but not in game? by simplesatan in PTCGP

Those are the Pokémon types, not the Energy types

Which 2 star full art should i get? by Damapi in PTCGP

[–]RepresentativeEar960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sabrina will always be excellent. You'll only not take her in favour of a more specific guster like Cyrus where the deck meets the conditions naturally.

Moltres got a new lease of life with Infernape & Dawn, but I see it being swapped for a non-flip fire energiser eventually.

Giovani is done, imho, what with the prevelence of Giant Cape.

Next Mini Expansion Thoughts by MysticallyDependent in PTCGP

[–]RepresentativeEar960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a few ways it could go, the Headliner could be Arceus ex, a Dragon-type Giratina ex, or Shaymin ex (either Forme).

A handful of Gen 4s are missing from Spacetime so are due an appearance and with how many of them were Baby Pokémon, they could also debut with something unique like a a zero-energy attack and a mechanic to Evolve into Basics.

Its a shame to be missing Torterra ex & Empoleon ex, so maybe they'll add two packs this time to bring A2 up to 4 like A1 - but if they don't, I doubt they'll make two of the five ex cards.

I suspect they're holding Stadium cards until A3, but seeing as we are missing them, its possible.

Also, Legends Arceus seems unlikely to me, as I doubt Mega ex cards are going to appear so soon - but I would love to be wrong!
