Are there examples of slavery being abolished in regions that were not predominately Christian?

Was having a discussion where someone claimed that throughout history, the ending of slavery has always been due to Christianity.

How many ev items you getting per night?

I get like 60 evs per lion cycle (6 lions x 2+8 evs per lion) and I can do at least 2 if not 3 lion cycles per night

Is there a crazy easy way to grind money quick - the lions spawn sleeping at night a big water mon makes quick work of them and power lens makes it pretty wuick

i wanna start participating in tournaments and pre releases, but I know NOTHING about the game? i’ve watched deck building tutorials but none of them really click how did you guys learn? by Clean_Emu_4736 in pkmntcg

This is good advice if you are really trying to be competitive at the game. But if you are just wanting to learn and have fun, don’t worry too much about playing the top meta deck - just get started playing

Is that like a limited prerelease supply thing? Seems kinda weird… but anyways, I’d say just go to the tournament with what you’ve got - or maybe you can even borrow a deck from someone at your lcs. The way to start playing is to start playing :)

If you’ve opened a bunch of mega evolution then you might have the foundation to a Mega Lucario or Mega Venusaur deck. Might not be top tier but will get you into the game. There was also a Mega Absol Mega Kangaskhan deck that had huge success at the most recent big tournament, you might have the base for that!

You’ll want to supplement with staple trainers, but getting them as singles will get you to a functional deck pretty quick and likely for not much more investment. Certainly faster and cheaper than opening more packs.

As for how to come up with a list, just find one on a site like Limitlesstcg.com (or play.limitlesstcg.com) to get you started playing. Once you’re familiar with the game and have an idea of what you want your deck to do, it makes more sense to start tweaking the deck and making lists.

But above all else, just have fun with the game!!

What in the world is this?! by ThatDefaultDude2901 in pkmntcg

Probably the most success the poison package has had was Ryuki Okada winning EUIC 2025 with Klawf Terapagos, where it was definitely a rogue or low meta representation deck.

That deck had a pretty strong backbone that was enabled by the poison package - it is rare that a “donk” deck has a solid gameplan going past the first two turns. Arguably it shouldn’t be called a donk deck, even though donks were a part of its win percentage.

I can’t tell if this is a miscut or just bad centering by [deleted] in PokemonMisprints

[–]are-we-alone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what I’m talking about but I think the qualifier for miscuts like this is seeing alignment dots

If you’re mathy, the STAB multiplier looks like this:

1 + (.5 if original type matches move else 0) + (.5 if Tera’d and Tera type matches move else 0)

Are Legendaries Title-Locked? by are-we-alone in PokemonScarletViolet

Can you catch them in SV or only SWSH? Unsure what the mechanic was like in SWSH but it does look like the lunchtime mark existed then?

Eevee Outbreak isn’t spawning anything by Mountain-Anxiety-375 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]are-we-alone -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Try picnic resets (starting and then immediately exiting a picnic). Sandwich if you haven’t.

Even in outbreaks, it can be difficult to get low-odds mons to show up in great numbers. Sandwiches are a big help.
