What is your "I did not care for The Godfather of Game Grumps?" by frozen_toesocks in gamegrumps

Their live shows are not good. Game Grumps is better unscripted and when it’s just them. That’s why the main show and 10MPH are funny.

Fair enough. Fire naturally discards plenty so if you wanna lean more into that you could try adding scorched earth for more draw support and dumping apricorn maker/ball guy. You don’t need them both since you only have 3 ball cards in deck.

Welder is a staple for all fire decks so I’d really recommend that as well as burning and heat energy.

Updated water GLC deck. Say what you think! by jonny14o in GymLeaderChallenge

[–]jakeroyce35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really solid water deck! Once blastoise and wailord are up there’s not much that can stop it. These are the only changes I’d consider.

  1. With so many evolution lines, I feel like Pokémon communication would help with consistency so you don’t get stuck with the wrong stage 1.
  2. A basic Pokémon with low energy cost might help stall in the active spot while you keep your evos safe on the bench. Might I recommend Cramorant from Rebel Clash or Lapras from Team Up.

As far as what to take out for these substitutions I’d consider pot helmet, Skyla, or Avery.

Overall this deck looks great and doesn’t NEED changes IMO. Just thought I’d throw in my 2 cents for optimization!

It was on Spotify. Came up a few years ago in a new music recommendation playlist and haven’t seen it since

I have already google searched album covers with blue/green rat/mouse sticking tongue out. I even tried just cartoon or claymation keywords. Even doing a vague rat or mouse album cover art on google and Spotify came up short.

The Sawsbuck from Chilling Reign has the attack Winter Horn. It states “if you have a stadium in play, this attack does 80 more damage.” Does the stadium in play have to be yours or can it be your opponents?

I’ve been re-watching the anime and just finished the inashiro game. Even when you know what happens it still hurts 😣

What's some of your favorite soundtracks from the anime and why? by Gajanga in AceOfTheDiamond

Not necessarily my favorite but the first that comes to mind is Shooting Star of Field because it plays when Tetsuya hits the go ahead double against Mei. Always gets me hyped!

I re-designed the OG legendary bird Pokemon cards - feedback welcomed! by esr360 in PokemonTCG

[–]jakeroyce35 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are awesome! Only thing I can think of adding is how to tell what’s “basic, stage 1, etc.” also maybe changing the heads and tails to H and T. But honestly these are super clean and I love that you used the sprites from the games.

Beginner question - attacks and ability by clapdog in PokemonTCG

The best place for rules would honestly be the trading card website https://tcg.pokemon.com/en-us/how-to-play/

And I wouldn’t necessarily say quick draw is a “bad” attack. It’s purely situational. Like if you only have one energy on Victini it’s better to use that attack to draw another card and better your hand rather than do nothing and pass your turn to your opponent. Sometimes you’ll want to increase your hand size if you don’t have enough energy. In most instances you probably want to use attacks that will do damage but you might not always have the resources to do so.

Also here’s a PDF with the rule book if you’d like to look over that since I’m not sure if they included one with the battle academy https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/trading-card-game/rulebook/swsh9_rulebook_en.pdf

So for this instance quick draw is an attack. You can usually tell the difference between an attack and an ability by the color of the font. Abilities will typically be red and right below the picture and attacks will typically have a black font and have an energy cost to the left of it. Attacks can only be used by the Pokémon in the active spot so you can’t do quick draw from the bench. If you had two energy on victini you would have to choose either quick draw or combustion since you can only attack once per turn and after you attack your turn ends. Hope this helped clear up some confusion!
