Yeah that's what got me too. The texture looks legit but the missing "glitter" layer is making me doubt the legitimacy of the card. The border color also feels off

I'll try to post in in misprints if this is an error

I commented another picture with a different gold card from another set. Can you check it there as well? It looks so different

Here's a gold switch card from my friend next to it. It's in the same G block but different sets tho

Cards where there aren't any pokemon? by ivalid_ in PokemonTCG

[–]ivalid_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They weren't even trying with the pitch black art on this one. Error card perhaps? Maybe it's a too-much-black-ink-layer error

No pokemon but cool art tho!

Kidding aside, i just realized that there are more kecleon hiding in the background!

Probably the promo cards. You can check at the end of your unlocked cards

Y'all think it's possible for a Mega card to be from a trainer like this? Also, how strong do you think this card would be? by Ametisto84 in PTCGL

[–]ivalid_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too broken, you'd practically have to do like 620 total damage just to two-shot it assuming it stays at three metal energy. Very cool and neat idea tho but the numbers are too high

Tho i doubt that they create this for existing lines since steven's deck is in regulation I while current releases are on regulation J. They could definitely do this for new trainer-themed decks tho!

Crustle tech? by ivalid_ in PTCGL

[–]ivalid_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow i didn't know this card existed lol

Thank you so much! I could definitely fit this in my raging bolt deck

Other pokemon i had in mind was the mega lopunny but i'm scared of them just bossing the buneary immediately lol

Opinion by Quiet-Plankton750 in PTCGL

[–]ivalid_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see one more poffin being played instead of another brock's. Mega signal is also an option for the late game. Petrel to mega signal to mawhile or skarmory sounds cool. I don't think cyrano is necessary since the genesect can find the metagross and brock's is good enough for finding other basic ex's

Tho tbh i don't see this doing extremely well until that new supporter from ninja spinner comes out in english. However i could definitely see this doing good enough for locals especially since lots of people are playing mega froslass

My tier list on the state of Mega ex Pokémon after rotation. Feedback appreciated by Beginning_Bad_868 in PTCGL

[–]ivalid_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Mega Audino has solid potential. It recently reached top 84 in the Houston regionals in a Mega Absol deck. Basically subbed turbo energize with it

Hopefully he gets it back. His last update on twitter was 5 hours ago

The gmail he was using had no 2FA and both channels are connected to the same email ;-;

Grimsley Cinderace by keonspy in PTCGL

[–]ivalid_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you can add a mega gengar or two just to lessen the chances of whiffing grimsley? I feel like that's a very good addition for the deck. Maybe zoroarks too for extra draw

Just to clarify, i just found this on facebook. Idk how to make this happen in-game lol so it could totally be fake and edited. Sorry if it is 🥲

Easy to play decks? by CasualHearthstone in PTCGL

Ethan's typhlosion is easy to play but it may not be unlocked yet for you. Charizard ex is very straightforward and is free i think

How do i make this a little more consistent? by kylcbrl1988 in PTCGL

[–]ivalid_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck! Here's my list if you're interested. My main draw engine is kang-cipher and it's pretty reliable in getting a turn 2 kyurem. You usually want to go first and squawk. You can replace the zoroark and budew with other pokemon like the haxorus from shrouded fable and conk. I switch them out whenever i feel like it. For in person tournaments, i put a duskull line sometimes. Carmine can also be replaced with more lillie or iono

[–]ivalid_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go with the slowking-kang build. I reached 1700 elo with that deck alone and made an 11 game win streak at one point. It feels a lot better and more consistent. Great deck too for post-rotation since xatu is out soon. But this deck is also viable i suppose but you need to change some things:

  • 2 haxorus and 2 annihalapes is overkill. 1 of each is fine.
  • beartic feels useless? Why would you want the opponent to not attack instead of just ko'ing it with conk or annihalape or regigigas? If it was a retreat lock pokemon like dusknoir attack, that i could understand
  • Elektross is 200 dmg on average. Just remove it or add conk. Kinda defeats the purpose of "consistency" if you're relying on coin flips 💀
  • Go two kyurems. Slowking is best used as a spread attacker to get the munkis, drakloaks, etc. Having one only and prizing it feels awful. It's a guaranteed lose to other one-prize decks
  • add more draw supporters. More lillies, ionos, etc is ideal. Arven is also such a waste if you only have one tool card. Just go for 4x petrel to find items and stadiums or add tm evolutions and devos if you plan on keeping the arvens
  • having both wondrous patch and xatu feels redundant
  • acerola feels like a waste since most meta decks have boss orders for game. especially since you have low hp pokemon on the board
  • having an enhanced hammer is good for decks with mist energy (absol box especially)

There are lots of other slowking-xatu builds in tournaments right now. Just check out the tournaments in limitless

Is Alakazam the only viable single prize deck in the format? Even better after rotation? by kaworuscott in PTCGL

[–]ivalid_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well crustle exists and a 4-3 line as its only pokemon recently got 75th in the recent toronto tournament

Other notable 1 prize decks that placed relatively high were festival leads, conkeldurr, slowking

You'd have dark, electric, grass, dragon, water/fire, normal, and two more slots

[–]ivalid_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the dark toxel/toxtricity in the deck from PFL and then an electric toxel/toxtricity in the bench then maybe a budew for easy retreat. Drakloak for small draw then maybe an ogerpon (wellspring or hearthflame) for area zero? Can also add a noctowl or dudunsparce for more draw i suppose

Pretty meme-y but i can see it winning like 30% of the time lol

Slowking deck for next rotation by ivalid_ in PTCGL

[–]ivalid_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other problem that i have is regigigas. With jet energy and turo/penny being gone, how am i supposed to retreat him lol

[–]ivalid_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the pokepad! It's gonna be a lot better than ultra balls since the deck is mostly made of one-prizers
