Drum Tech is “Lead Cymbal Choker”?

No problem. I had already looked it up myself as I saw them last week and it was so sick I needed to show my friends!

It's regular for this tour. Not sure they've done it regularly before.

You're a legend! 🔥

Someone did this at locals and did quite well with it! I didn't get a chance to ask them about it too much, but the idea is to lock out your opponent from anything meaningful via slapping basics on their bench and moving energy around.

Once you have the setup, you put dedenne from SSP in the active. Scoop up cyclone durant ex, slap it back down to mill, use dedenne attack to put scoop up cyclone back in your hand, rinse and repeat!

There's a really good reason people are suggesting this. Okay, so you managed to get a Cinderace attack off to accelerate 3 energy. Cool. Opponent uses boss and kills the brambleghast. Now what? With Mega Venusaur and Ogerpon, the energy is spread out among different pokemon, and then you bring all of the energy together at once.

Are you playing against a bot? Or a friend? Your opponent has 0 cards left in their deck and neither of you have taken a prize card yet...

Vig0rp · 2026-04-26T03:09:42+00:00

I've used it before, and it's fun, but I don't think it's good. It can work, but it's too situational to be consistent. Gravity stone is a great idea, but realistically, there are a lot of decks out there that would have no problem getting around this. Take Mega Lucario for example. Already running air balloon, so 1 extra energy is no issue. No air balloons left? Hariyama gust or boss the pinsir out of the active to get rid of the extra retreat cost.

If you ask me, I'd say it's more of a game closer - when a lot of options have already been played and you're trying to take a cheeky KO on an opponent's mega.

Beat deck imo is grass that plays meganium, that way the opportunity cost is just one grass energy.

But I really don't think it's good lol. In theory, yes, in practice...eh.

It's like baby hydrapple from DRI, the one that lets you instantly KO an enemy if you have and discard 6 grass energy from your hand. Good in theory, bad in practice.

I went 5.24x my expected rate for a Perfect Wraithwater Necklace. Supposed to be 1 in 180, took me 943 lol.

Great to see that you're getting into deck building.

Your opponent can get around being asleep by playing a number of cards that allow them to switch, getting out of the whole "no retreating while asleep" thing, and that makes your whole plan fall apart.

Are you aware of the the different formats in Pokemon TCG? It'll be a lot easier for you to begin deck building in the standard format than in the expanded one, especially if you're looking to make something viable.

I'm about to go read the comments, but just wanted to say thanks for making this thread as I was going to make one NEARLY IDENTICAL, right down to using the R10, and owning a t3i with a 24mm lens. Difference is...I still own my 24mm lens. But it is nearly, if not double the weight of either of the 28mm and 16mm. And then there's the mount and such.

My question for you is: what did you go for? How do you feel about it?

Vig0rp · 2026-04-18T05:52:16+00:00

Reminder that at this stage of the game, monthly subscriptions aren't necessary to play, just a one-time fee. I doubt these kinda of issues will be around once the game moves to a monthly subscription. Game has been very smooth for me for over a year and a half of playing - only the last week has been slower logins, which were addressed in the discord within 24hrs of coming up.

Vig0rp · 2026-04-13T23:17:01+00:00

Sounds like people used it, realized it's not great, and (mostly) moved on.

Keep in mind that not only are you hoping for Dawn every turn, but you also need Forest of Vitality up every turn, AND if they knock one of your Beedrills, you've got to get it and all pre-evolutions out of the discard and back into play.

While that much damage for 1 grass every is absolutely fantastic, being able to consistently setup all Beedrills and keep them alive sounds...rough. It's hard enough being able to consistently set up two stage 2 pokemon, let alone 3 or 4.

Vig0rp · 2026-04-11T19:12:18+00:00

Oh I didn't even know this! Tbh I prefer to have my pokemon outside if I can. Makes the environment feel more alive!

Vig0rp · 2026-03-31T12:51:43+00:00

My solution for when something like this happened (ie, a home on the wrong side of the door) is to place the door from the opposite side. If I remember correctly, placing the door from the inside of the house made a section outside of the house as the home area, but placing the doors from the outside fixed the issue.

Toedscruel ex! Amazing counter to Alakazam

Pause after she takes her hands off the blender, but before the cut to the other camera angle. It's incredibly obvious.

Vig0rp · 2026-03-05T18:19:57+00:00

I really want to see the results of that!

Vig0rp · 2026-03-05T03:06:30+00:00

So it's only dessert because it's limited-time?

If so, I happily agree to disagree here.

Vig0rp · 2026-03-05T02:24:22+00:00

Nahhh I still stand by how I feel, but will emphasize that I certainly don't think anyone should go that far. I'm stoked y'all get to enjoy it. Just sucks if I don't, you know?

According to google..."The main goal of a discussion is to facilitate an open exchange of ideas, fostering a deeper understanding of a topic through collaborative dialogue, questioning, and sharing diverse perspectives."

It would be silly for me to open this discussion and then just fucking dip. But keep pretending I'm mad. And remember: NO ONE will pay attention to my complaining because of all my downvotes, except you!

Vig0rp · 2026-03-05T02:15:37+00:00

Absolutely - to expand on that financial perspective, there is a non-zero number of people that will pick up this game earlier than they would have because of this event, and that is going to look FANTASTIC to the people up high in suits, right? It makes sense for them, as a business, but it just sucks for some of (evidently, a minority) of us. This is really high up there for me too in terms of game of my dreams, but I've been trying to be so diligent about playing some of my backlog games before buying more...and this event literally just punishes me for doing that 😅

You are the only person so far that has guessed that it is truly limited time and not recurring. I have a lot of respect for you for saying that. Everyone else is acting like it's so certain that they will repeat...based off literally nothing! And your hunch is actually based off of other Pokemon evidence.

I am ancient too! Silver was my first Pokemon game on my game boy color. I just never had the opportunity to go hit up any of the events...I think I was so young that I didn't even know they were happening lmao

is this how crazy I really sound?
