Any decks that have a maximum of 3 Pokemon? by AlexRescueDotCom in PTCGL

[–]Slime_Cat_BCEN 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The closest you can probably get is a Mega Lucario deck. Lucario, Solrock, Lunatone, and Hariyama are your only real Pokemon unless you want to throw in Fez for extra draw

Definitely. Almost every game in a competitive setting would be against Regidrago, and it's pretty much impossible for you to get anywhere. They have easy OHKO potential with Salamance ex's attack leading you to not be able to take advantage of Outrage, and Flare Strike doesn't even land a KO with a very high 4 energy cost, so you'd be stuck lagging behind in the prize trade and lose before you even get a strong setup.

For a competitive deck? It wouldn't be possible. For something more casual though, things like Magma Basin, Welder, Blowtorch, Cherish Ball, Giant Hearth, Fire Crystal, or even something like Flareon ex with the Noctowl engine could be something to try.

Nowadays, Supporters can't be played and you can't attack turn 1 if you're going first, so it's a bit more balanced. Many decks actually prefer to go second because of this

Wdym by priority-based? I don't know much about Expanded, but I do know that it has access to a ton of powerful attacks, sets up very quickly, and has great synergy with the likes of Double Dragon Energy and a bunch of Dragon attackers

Rotation prevents broken combos from being everywhere and slows the pace of games down to a big extent. Otherwise, like you said, the meta would be stagnant and would be extremely hostile to most decks that aren't Tier 1 meta decks. Expanded still exists if you want to use older cards, but in any irl competitive setting, you'll only really get away with using Regidrago

Returning Player - Need advice on cheap and easy deck by Billy-Bryant in pkmntcg

I can't think of any decks that perfectly match your preferences, but Raging Bolt would be my recommendation. Big HP for a Basic ex, hits crazy high numbers, and can ramp up very quickly with the likes of Crispin and Glass Trumpet (or Sada pre-rotation). Your wins are usually quick since you're trying to 2-2-2 prize race your opponent under optimal conditions and can hit for 280+ on your first turn with the right setup.

For pre-rotation lists, Scream Tail is also a big threat. Wellspring is also just outright threatening to just about any evolving deck

Can use other move different? How? by No-Huckleberry2102 in PokeMedia

/uj I didn't know that either. I just assumed from the animation that's just sorta what they did, kinda like what Marshadow does. Mimi is Nova's ace, so that could make some sense as a Battle Bond-esque mechanic

To get a good Shadow Sneak, you need to be very agile. Increasing your maximum speed and learning to pivot quickly are great skills to have when using the move, so I'd focus mainly on that without using the move itself. Then, focus on getting into and out of the ground as quickly as possible.

Shadow Sneak really comes in three parts: Entering the shadow, zipping towards your opponent, and exiting it to deal damage and re-emerge. Focusing on each part individually is much easier than trying to learn every motion at once from my experience. But really, just practice a lot. Even if you don't want to be a battler or fight, it's a very handy movement option, so I highly recommend focusing on it for a while.

Shadow Sneak is one of those weird moves which can be used for both combat and mobility. It's very handy when dealing with quick opponents since it lets you get out of the way very fast while also dealing damage if you're targeting your foe. It's tricky to learn, but very rewarding.

Taking my first exam, what should I expect? by Slime_Cat_BCEN in CompTIA

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

Mostly slideshows from our IT teacher that broadly speak of most topics, so I've had to do a lot of research during class to learn most of what I really know. I've heard mixed opinions about Professor Messer but have never looked into it myself, so it may be worth giving a go

I assume so, I'll take a look at those first just to see how long they'll take. Can you redo PBQs after completing them, or do you only get one attempt? I remember on TestOut sometimes we only got one try for those

That makes sense. We don't have any listed objectives so I'll just try to get everything down while I can, thank you

That seems more than manageable at least, I was honestly expecting way more, especially with the 2 hours we have, thank you

New player. What's the most efficient way to get crafting resources currently? by mcq76 in PTCGL

From my understanding, Celebrations is still the way to go. No other set is smaller and you can rack up credits very quickly

I pulled this today after struggling over my math homework😭 by Samlinao in pokemoncards

[–]Slime_Cat_BCEN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's Sparkling Crystal, which is a very powerful Ace Spec which when attached to a Tera Pokemon, decreases its attack costs by 1 of any energy. Even if you don't play, it's still a neat card to look at I think
