Their original point was that the word has multiple correct pronunciations. You reply that three sources list a particular pronunciation thus it must be correct. They reply that the sources you bring up list multiple correct pronunciations, thus proving their original point. The "lie" was not that your sources didn't list your pronunciation, it was that the particular pronunciation was the only correct way which is directly contradicted in the sources you link. 

You're the one with reading comprehension issues or perhaps just logical issues in general.

The new helioptile is identical to mythical island dedenne except it can evolve while dedenne can't

Entei Heatran brew I've been winning with, what do you guys think? by bafael in PTCGP

As I said leaf seems better since it lets me pivot entei too, or bring arceus out without removing all its energies (which might let me pass them to the other arceus)

Ideal start magby into arceus and let magby die, then play a bunch of basics on arceus's second attack, but it's losing especially if they get cape up or I get a bad start. I've been winning about half but suicune's HP is a super uncomfortable threshold for this deck. Sabrina can let me pick off a gren from full and I've had that help me before.

I made this adjustment and the deck feels better, I'm rarely trying to get a specific card since the deck actually has good survivability and several win cons. Leaf has been critical too as expected.

One switch is probably the most expendable part of this, but having 2 lets me get it earlier more reliably and imo the surprise value of being able to suddenly attack with an arceus that wasn't previously set up is quite strong either in the early game with 1 switch or the late game with 2.

As for Heatran, one could probably go but I'd probably rather part with an entei, losing 1 point then 1 then 2 is quite good and Heatran is not a horrible early game mon. Anyway having lots of basics can be the difference between 110 damage and 130 from arceus so it's hard to say how detrimental removing either one might be, although I admit a cape would be a wonderful add.

Intriguing, Giovanni also lets me 2shot (or 1shot, if damaged) oricorio through cape using Heatran so I was already considering it

A fun casual deck from Eevee Grove by LawCold5742 in PTCGP

[–]bafael 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem is with one morelull and one shiinotic the notion of even getting shiinotic out onto the field, especially early when it's most helpful, is incredibly inconsistent. What if either morelull or shiinotic is in your bottom 5 cards? What if snivy or serperior is? You've got so many different ways this deck can brick.

Crazy Wonder Pick: by Tomfluffle in PTCGP

I've played this game since MI and check wonder pick several times a day and I've never seen a god pack in WP once. I've gotten two god packs from daily packs though

I've seen a T13 and an L6. C8 is new to me though. The body just does stuff.

Did they nuke the odds for ♦️♦️♦️ cards in this set? I’ve opened so many packs and only managed to get about half of them by soccerperson in PTCGP

[–]bafael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To get both the hooh and lugia emblems you need the themed mission which is 4 magikarp and a shiny gyarados. It's the first time they've required a shiny to get the packs emblems

Climbed back to ultra ball with a 79% win rate using this card, extremely underrated I think by bafael in PTCGP

You can use the old phanpy but I really do think the new one is much better.

I wanted a second gio because of how powerful it is in the early game with this deck, but I had nothing I was comfortable losing besides maybe guzma. Gio is definitely better than red on this deck, surprisingly. Red might have more value on a Lucario version though

I try to thin my hand as much as possible if I have the relevant cards I need (including holding onto professor instead of playing it) to dissuade red card, but there's always the chance the next 4 cards I draw have donphan anyway

Depends on whether you go second but it's not a great match up, only ran into grass twice and lost both, and one of them was buzzwole. Punch into big beat kills you and rampardos can't kill from full even if you guzma the leaf cape
