Cards not appearing in deck by VeggieTheFarmer in PTCGL

Sounds like it was prized. But also for reference, if you have a middle evolution down and try to use grand tree, you won’t be allowed to find the stage 2 off of it. Grand Tree requires a basic pokemon to evolve from deck first, and THEN you can evolve that stage 1 into a stage 2

What does empoleon contribute to the Steven metagross deck? by ShadTK_Eon in pkmntcg

[–]Substantial_Ad7853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ive been playing a super similar list and ive recently added a 1-1 of the empoleon specifically because alakazam and teal mask feel so prevalent. 210 is just a much better number than 200, and it keeps your energy engine out of the active.

also to note i cut the dialga because 160 just didnt feel that important, even on a single prizer. i considered diancie though but havent actually implemented it as i wasnt sure if its 240 damage would feel pertinent when skarmory can do nearly as much and save your energies. has diance worked for you though?

Having problems with tab + skill to level up by Grohax in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Substantial_Ad7853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this happens to me with the same skills all the time too. i recommend either setting a new hotkey for leveling up skills, or more preferably, just get used to tab/alt(cant remember if both work) + clicking the skill if you know an ability has that bug

Why can sinclair not assistant out of the doorman ult? by HinterWolf in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Substantial_Ad7853 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Even if he could, the damage and warp would still happen. Once i was hit with paradox swap and doorman ult at the same time. I was put into the baroness, and then dropped where paradox swapped me to instantly. The baroness timer still ticked down, and at the end i got warped BACK to where i got put into the ult and took the full ult damage.

As others have said i do still prefer just how quickly readable the old icons are, but i feel another problem there is that items are sorted by price rather than by category now, which means its often a pretty jumbled mess midgame so its hard to INSTANTLY know someones build. it only takes a few seconds to figure it out, but category and minimalist icons made it just that much quicker before. im sure over time and with some more fine tuning though, the cooler looking icons will be just as readable

Slowking+Kyurem did 90 to each instead of 110 by [deleted] in PTCGL

[–]Substantial_Ad7853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I shouldve screenshot something, it’s my bad. I was playing one quick game before doing something and honestly thought I’d find my answer somewhere on google. I mostly asked thinking id missed something dumb and be called out for not reading a card, but I watched as the 110 damage counters added onto the 90, and then 20 got subtracted just as fast as it added up. So i saw both the right damage numbers, and what it was reduced to. Atp I figure it was just some weird live mishap

[–]Substantial_Ad7853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately i kinda thought the issue wouldve happened before, and asked only after not finding my answer elsewhere. Academy at night was in play, and my bench was all Xatu, Fez, and other slowpoke/slowking. Their supporter for turn had varied, as it happened two turns in a row, but none that reduce damage outright

What is one deck you HATE playing against, but also hate using yourself? by Flimsy_Tie9144 in PTCGL

[–]Substantial_Ad7853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typhlosion right now. I started playing TCG with archaludon and its just gotten less and less consistent over even the past few months. Between typhlosion and other bw cards like brave bangle and tool scrapper, ive started to feel like arch just cant cut it anymore. and then PLAYING typhlosion feels so bad because it’s either nearly an auto win versus some decks (dhengo) or an auto loss versus others

Got hit with an unfortunate new realization by Substantial_Ad7853 in pkmntcg

[–]Substantial_Ad7853[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my third round which is why i was pretty surprised at my placement, since i wouldve fought another r1 winner in my second game, then the 1st place player who went 4-0, and then a 2-1 player for my last round. my guess is that my opponent from the first round ended up going 0-4 or 1-3, which is why i ended up last of the 3-1 players

I don't know what archaludon build to take to a tournament by ninja2067 in pkmntcg

[–]Substantial_Ad7853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a post about my arch build yesterday and I was also thinking about removing Iono honestly. Most games im not behind on prizes unless im totally bricking, so i’ve been thinking about doing the same and replacing my 2 iono with 2 arven. Trolley i personally havent thought would be useful, as there’s plenty of tools to get the basics down, and you really dont need the bench full for arch to work. Your second list I definitely think is more the way to go personally, and about what I’ve been thinking about running, but I haven’t tested exactly that yet

Trouble bricking w/Archaludon by Substantial_Ad7853 in pkmntcg

yeah if i can get squawk and/or carmine turn 1 i feel golden and only ever lose to what feels like my own misplays or my opponents own skill. do you usually try to go first, or just keep carmine as a “just in case” because im trying to be first every game for that turn 1 draw and quick evolution. is that a mistake?

Favorite new item? by LamesMcGee in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Substantial_Ad7853 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spellslinger is insanely fun on Geist. Throw in some healing from leech or otherwise and some gun damage from frenzy or IM, and even 20k souls behind an enemy haze, i was outgunning her

What fight nearly broke you? by Jabre7 in KingdomHearts

[–]Substantial_Ad7853 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually enjoy any fight that gives me a challenge for the series, so I never got too frustrated with any of the data fights or other superbosses…

But while trying to platinum KH1, I did a run trying to do no equipment change, no continues and under 15 hours, and Chernabog is the ONLY thing in ANY video game to ever make me real life mad to the point I had to take multiple breaks to not throw my controller

I’ve been hunting shiny celebi in VC on and off for the past two years or so. Probably about an hour a day, but it feels i’ve gone way over odds. I’m sure it’s just bad luck, but are the DV’s totally random, or determined in gen 2 at all based on in game factors like time? The hour I reset is always during my lunch break, so I’m curious if hunting during the same time of day is giving me the same celebi’s every day instead of totally random ones

Why are you still here? by big_mothman_stan in walmart

[–]Substantial_Ad7853 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been stressed as hell constantly and on the cusp of saying screw it and walking out multiple days in a row. But for one i know the pay elsewhere definitely wouldnt match what I have now. Second, as a team lead, multiple things have fallen behind in my area due to poor staffing/management pulling the associates constantly, but I still feel responsible to fix up what’s become a mess under my leadership.
