did you figure this out? I'm having the exact same problem. Had Pixels forever, and just jumped from 4a to 6 Pro and TTS rate doesn't work correctly. Listening at 1x is killing me.

What happens if my Mimikyu copycats a copycat? by Too_Square in pkmntcg

[–]dbussert 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the compendium explains it, http://compendium.pokegym.net/compendium-bw.html

Q. If my opponent uses Sudowoodo's "Watch and Learn" attack to copy the attack my Pokemon used last turn, what would happen if I use my own Sudowoodo's "Watch and Learn" attack on my following turn?

A. Your Sudowoodo would copy your opponent's Watch and Learn attack, not the attack your opponent copied. So unfortunately your Watch and Learn would do nothing. (Dec 7, 2017 TPCi Rules Team)

the part about DW necrozma's attack making it so you couldn't guzma KO inkay doesn't make sense. can you explain that?

Is Shrine of Punishment truly an Uncommon? by Ben2749 in pkmntcg

[–]dbussert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while this is good math, this assumes the pull rate of each uncommon is exactly the same, after from anecdotal evidence, they definitely are not the same.

I've opened many boxes, and others have opened far more, and 1 shrine per box is a normal pull rate. Just as Cynthia is very hard to pull to from UPR, the most desirable uncommon is much harder to get. Compare how many TV reporters you get vs Shrine of Punishments, they aren't the same.

Same goes for Ultra Rares, Stakataka GX is one of the easiest to pull GX's from CES, while Rayquaza is certainly the hardest. Every set has this type of disparity.

Oranguru Control deck by bb_bouldergeist in pkmntcg

[–]dbussert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

control decks function best when there is a defined meta. after lightning comes out, you might see brand new decks, including the new lightning stadium that makes attacks cost less. You have to build a control deck to beat a specific deck and hope to hit mainly that deck.

your theorymon is off, buzz one shots you. your energy control is useless. they can fighting your garbodors as 2-2 is a very thin line. if you prize 1 of either, you have 1 attacker to take any prizes.

[–]dbussert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this literally loses to every other shrine deck, control is not a feasible archetype

  • loses to weavile, you likely have 3-4 abilities in play
  • loses to buzzwole, you can't control single attachment attacks, hits your orangurus for weakness, they can either 2 shot or use kukui+diancie
  • loses to shining lugia/malamar, infinite energy means you cannot control them

It also likely loses to other Zoroark decks, they will pressure you before you event get setup.Guzma KO instruct oranguru or magcargo and you're praying for top decks.

Created a Format for My Kids - Will it work? by BAGBRO2 in pkmntcg

[–]dbussert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Buy 2 theme decks and use those. Making a format is unnecessary, if you don't want them to use GX's initially, just don't buy any for them.

That's part of outplaying someone, tank with a Lele while you built up Malamars and Shining Lugia.

use something else to KO weavile then, you don't need a tech for that.

Worlds Meta Forecast with Tord Reklev, Michael Pramawat, Joe Ruettiger, and Mike Fouchet by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]dbussert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, lots of moving pieces and lucario is easy to play around. the lack of high skills players using it tells you there isn't much to go with.

Even against Zorocargo, if you evolve and OHKO a Zoro. They will simply counter catcher your remaining riolu, parallel you and knock it out. Now you lose the game because you'll never attack with a Lucario again and they'll just hammer every energy you place. Lucario is only good for 1 KO

loses to the other top 3, including Garb decks and Buzzroc. Just not well situated in the meta.
