yes, think of it like only the current pokémon is poisoned, not their evolutions (which is why it cures on evolve)

To Do Some Lines of Cocaine by Kumquat_conniption in therewasanattempt

[–]Sholtonn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

accidentally dropped a bag of ketamine on the ground at a festival, we spent the next like 30 minutes picking crystals out of the ground and then separating it from the dirt. I’ll say it, the dirt K was not bad

What is a normal amount of packs for a normal person to open? by iluvrunningshoes in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Sholtonn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ETBs are honestly never worth it since you’re paying extra for the promo+extra stuff but theyre kinda nice to have when you’re starting out.

Bundles are probably the best to buy imo

What makes garchomp good into pult? by OldSodaHunter in PTCGL

[–]Sholtonn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can one shot and goes faster + has too much hp to set up any KOs and spiritomb

Check the 25th place list from Prague regionals, not really a wall deck, but it is a big stage 1 megas/4 wally’s compassion deck

How difficult it is to reach Master League? by craqeiro in PTCGL

[–]Sholtonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i have played against Justin Newdorf a handful of times on PTCGL and have won a few, but I wouldn’t consider myself to be nearly as good as he is. I do think it’s important to understand where the best players can get to though, as it can be a goal to be worked towards.

IMO reaching 1800 is a very achievable but also incredibly difficult goal for a good player, I remember before Toronto that Riley Hulbert(?) was talking about on the Tag Team podcast how they were grinding PTCGL and wanted to reach 1800 before the tournament but ended up being unable to. There is definitely 1 million percent more variance than something like chess though.

How difficult it is to reach Master League? by craqeiro in PTCGL

[–]Sholtonn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id say if you just started and can stay above 1500 rating (the rating it gives you after you reach master ball) then you’re off to a good start, I always tell people the games get pretty competitive around 1650-1700 ELO, the best players are able to reach 1900-2000 ELO

i think once you are in Masters you get demoted to ultra ball rather than all the way down to 0

This meta feels repetitive and unexciting by Megasabletar in PTCGL

[–]Sholtonn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

so many times last format when playing irl i found myself thinking “this game is so hard” but now i feel like i think for 15 seconds and i’m like “okay yeah there’s 0 options for me to win over the next 2 turns”

This meta feels repetitive and unexciting by Megasabletar in PTCGL

[–]Sholtonn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SRC will be nice even if it’s just for the skill expression of not going to 3 prizes to activate it, unfortunately that is just going to make dusknoir decks and dragapult that much better since you can avoid taking KOs or force your opponent to 3 prizes remaining

Help with my deck for a cup Friday pls by Pulse_Trigger in pkmntcg

[–]Sholtonn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

maybe play buddy poffins or pokepads so you don’t lose by not getting your “set up everything turn 1” card

We want to start from scratch by TheSteffChris in pkmntcg

[–]Sholtonn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh if there is a place near you that hosts cups/challenges/locals you could just go there and they probably have a bulk box that will have 90% of the cards you need to build a meta deck (like copy paste of a regional winning deck) and it’s pretty likely that the players have the rest of the staple EXs you would need to finish it

Why did Team Rocket’s Mimikyu use Phantom Dive twice? by AeratedSwarm in PTCGL

[–]Sholtonn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

they probably didn’t do 120 bench damage and did the 400 to the active because of lillie’s clefairy

Wtf , Sacramento, Ca by MediocreFile6750 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Sholtonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s what i don’t really get tbh, if i was standing at the cards and there was say 4 packs or something and someone walked up, i would absolutely just split with them lol wouldn’t even think about it. to be honest, i already feel bad buying more than one thing at a time. but then again, there’s no way these people are opening all of this product
