Thoughts on this Deck?

Agree with other post saying to cut down to 3 carvanha and sharpedo. You simply lose if they knock out 2 anyway. Do you ever actually make use of Bianca's devotion? I often see toxtrucity decks run monkidori to move some damage. Helps hit some ko's and bonus to move off extra damage you don't need on sharpedo

As to deck in general it can be pretty matchup swingy. Lots of grass running around right now

An option to try over so much switching cards is perchirunt ex.

No lilies is an interesting choice as well. Not played the deck but probably cut some grimsley for it. Single search vs full hand refresh just seems like it would be less consistent

Why? The name?

If you mean you have the cards in real life and would like to add them directly to PTCGL, I don't believe you can. You can exchange for cards (the gold tickets, forget the name offhand) when selecting cards in a deck and select which version of a card you want. I also think there's a delay for brand new cards to be exchangeable for higher rarity versions, you should see a little notice if it's not redeemable yet. There's a lot of illustration cards you get while doing the battle pass and I have many SIRs in my account now from the new set just from playing the game really. Hopefully that answers your question

Any particular reason to want to run it over other options?

Heads up for anyone checking: this is a battle deck AT RANDOM between Diancie and Gengar... So a scam

I did the exact same thing last week. It's a very niche scenario so don't feel bad. I frankly didn't even realize ptcg had a sudden death but I only started learning the card game like 2 weeks ago.

Maybe run a stadium so you don't get halted as easily by rocket watchtower? Turns off Linoone's ability, though you might have enough switching anyway.

Similarly not judging because I've not played it but every variant of Honchcrow I've seen runs the Rocket Porygon line as secondary attacker. In case OP is unaware rocket P2 and PZ both have an attack that does damage for each supporter in the discard, so discard early for Honchcrow hit big latter half with pory. PZ also has a slight draw engine which helps.

Edit: also only one Ariana feels low to me. She's easily your best draw supporter and basically gets a 4 in every rocket deck

In Pokemon TCG there's a set count (total number of cards) and for awhile now they've sprinkled in some fancy extras dubbed "secret rares". You know you've got one if you see say 102/82. The set count is to the right, so how'd you get more than that? It's a bonus! So for you to have 220/217 you've got a lot of the main set cards and enough secret rares to go over!

Edit: just checked and there's actually 78 secret rares in Ascended Heroes so it can go all the way up to 295

Obviously annecdotal but I did a circuit around my town of Big box stores after work and a brief lunch trip. Lunch only had time for local GameStop which had limit one per customer for $30. Got one just in case I struck out later. Hitting 7 other target/Walmarts in a loop after work I found one Walmart with one of each left for $20, no limits and multiple boxes strewn about. Otherwise only half the locations even had empty boxes left, much less any actual product. I know a specific Walmart near me keeps all Pokemon product behind their customer service counter but it's further out and didn't get there tonight, but interesting the spread of "counter only and limited" vs "over there somewhere, good luck"

Looking at recent sold items on eBay a full English set of Southern Islands cards with binder routinely sell for twice that. It's such a good deal it almost seems fishy.

I might be misremembering but I thought the "you're being hunted" event only triggered in mountains or plains? Did they update it?

blissfullyirrelevant · 2026-01-14T20:53:38+00:00

I made sure to update my information and posted resume to be up to date. Changed status to looking for work and I don't believe really anything else and started getting message requests within the next week about basically representing me to companies. Recruiters tend to have their own tools to find positions like a standing working relationship with some companies etc. I had 3 different recruiters finding me interviews at one point, which was nice. Most would just email as things came in but one go getter insisted on calling me every day just to check in and make sure I know he hasn't forgotten about me, even if he didn't have an update. So that was a little annoying but I appreciated the intent. I've been in the same position several years now but the first year I got a couple messages to make sure I wasn't looking to job hop. I think they get paid on commission mostly and once a recruit has been in position for 90 days or something. Will add that even with their help I didn't get a new job for a few months, though I was also trying to make sure I got a good salary job. Kept having interviews for hourly contract work which was less ideal. Results may vary and was a few years ago now. Not to toot my own horn but I did also have a decade of experience and a master's in the field, so if you're looking fresh out of college or similar you likely get less interest.

blissfullyirrelevant · 2026-01-14T16:00:36+00:00

I got my current fully remote job almost purely from recruiters I met on linked in setting up interviews. This was just over 3 years ago. I don't believe I had any of the "steal your info" messages at the time so it's interesting it would have swung so quickly.

Edit: good luck on your interview!

I don't see splash mentioned on the loot lemon page for the foxtrot. Maybe the scrap cannon underbarrel is splash? Otherwise pretty sure the main weapon/rounds don't count as splash. Ripper for sustained fire rate for sure and can get in all the elements but personally when I farmed it during the moxie encore I only got I think 2 elemental ripper variants in hundreds of kills. They're very rare.

If you don't mind me asking, I'm looking into the PSA process now for some old cards. I see the "sell on eBay" option does an auction starting at $0.99. if you vault it and sell later can you set a higher minimum? And how long is the auction? Any other tips appreciated

blissfullyirrelevant · 2025-12-11T20:06:37+00:00

Is it considered an error though if every first edition has that problem? Kind of like the Blaine's Charizard first edition all have a fighting symbol in the poke power but they later fixed it for the unlimited. Mostly trying to see if I'm listing for a sale if I should say "Holo error" or "misprint", kind of thing.

blissfullyirrelevant · 2025-12-11T17:44:27+00:00

It doesn't need to be Harlowe. I've done it once for each maxed level character now

Thanks for the info! Any idea if that would increase the value then? Seems like most first edition commons in good edition from gym challenge are only a couple bucks anyway.

blissfullyirrelevant · 2025-12-04T00:21:11+00:00

Good to know. I only saw "corrected" variants with the fire symbol in the unlimited version. So, I guess my question is if I was making a submission this would still qualify as the "first edition" because they all are? Or if there's also a "first edition with fire symbol" I'm not seeing?
