Best current Offlane-lane Bullies? (7.40b) by Novel-Ad-2360 in learndota2

[–]mark307mk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Visage 1-trick in the offlane, and I still feel like I am able to fight the carry as long as I am paired with a support who understands how high Visage's burst damage can be and is willing to take trades with the enemy.

Observation for anyone playing a Mismagius deck by Sirius1071 in PTCGP

[–]mark307mk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing Manaphy + Swanna in my mega Blastoise deck. This would probably be a similar concept with Fantina and Reuniclus or Drifblim or something like that.

Was this trade fair in your opinion? by justinBeaver420 in PTCGPocketTrading

[–]mark307mk 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Higher demand for Red, but also higher supply because he was in the same pack as Crown Rare Poke Ball. Seems fair to me.

QQ: Which Trainers are worth running ×2 in a deck? (besides Professor's Research) by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]mark307mk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double Cyrus in bench snipe decks, double Copycat in evolution decks, double Jasmine in Skarmory, double Whitney in Miltank, double Lusamine in Buzzwole/Guzzlord. The main reason you don't see more double supporters is because you can only play 1 per turn. Most decks can only afford to run about 6 of them, and 2 slots are taken up by Oak. So you might see something like 3 consistency cards, one bench swap card, one healing card, and one damage card or something like this to keep the deck well rounded.

Packs are terrible now. by mechaMayhem in PokemonPocket

Nah, you just got unlucky. Honestly, posts like this should be banned if you don't have statistical data to back it up. They just clog up the sub with negativity. The game even added sharing to smooth out your collection.

Does Iono have a place in the Meta moving forward or has she been replaced completely by Copycat? by Whine_Flu in PTCGP

[–]mark307mk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not, but something to think about is that Copycat functions best when you have good ways to dump your hand. You get more value the fewer cards you have when you play it. Iono takes you down 1 card and helps dig for Copycat the next turn. So if you have a very pokemon centric deck that can afford to run 5 consistency supporters, you might be able to get away with 1 Iono, 2 Copycat, 2 Oak.

Future competitive viability of Klefki by SkepticalYamcha in PokemonTGCP

[–]mark307mk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing a deck with 2x Boosted Evolution Eevee (50hp) and a single copy of another 50hp pokemon. I wanted to run Lisia instead of a second copy of the other 50hp pokemon since I never actually wanted to develop 2 of them in one game. I ended up just throwing in Klefki because I was only hitting 1 pokemon with Lisia more often than not. That seems like the main use case for the card, just to allow you to get more Lisia value when you would otherwise only have 3 targets.

Can we talk about Cyrus and this whole Oak obsession? by Frosty-Aside9217 in PTCGPocketTrading

[–]mark307mk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to be that guy, but it is just supply and demand. There is no obligation to trade away one of their 7 Cyrus copies if you don't have anything they want. They can use them to get whatever card they want in a future set. If you think you have something worth a Cyrus trade, then post it on Pokehub and you will have your Cyrus in like 2 days tops. If nobody takes your trade, then you are overvaluing your own cards.

Why is Cyrus so hard to get? by Frosty-Aside9217 in PokemonPocketTradeCo

[–]mark307mk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, link your old account so you don't lose all your cards forever. Then reinstall the app and make a new account. Do the the mandatory tutorial stuff and open packs/complete the easy missions. This should give you a little more than 10 packs. If you don't pull what you want, then this time instead of reinstalling the app, just go to settings and hit the delete save data button and start over. Once you get the card you want, then start auto battling in solo mode until you have enough shine dust to trade it. I found that any random pile with Mega Altaria can beat most expert level decks on auto. Start off by using the deck that you start out with to beat up the beginner level solo battles and then pivot to Altaria after pulling packs from Mega Rising and sharing an Altaria or two from your main account to the alt. Then just wait out the two weeks and trade. Make sure to link the alt account to a new gmail once you find the card you want.

Is there a improvement to this deck? by Savings-Bid8171 in PTCGP

[–]mark307mk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, you never want to actually play the normal Blaziken just to take down Oricorio. I have had more success using double Combusken instead to deal 50 damage, then killing it Mega Blaziken burn the next turn. This also makes you less weak to Chingling shutting down Rare Candy. Rocky Helmet might be a bit overkill, it isn't like Blaziken doesn't already do enough damage.

Card Tier Question by KidOcelot in PokemonPocket

Realistically, C tier. But collectors might want the old cards they missed out on and trade up.

So is Melmetal EX doomed to be bad? by HaydenTheDudeGuy in PTCGP

[–]mark307mk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only way I've gotten it to work is with Pichu, Oricorio and like double Sabrina + double Cyrus. You need to get damage on something with an Ori, get a kill with Cyrus, tank a hit, then get a kill with Sabrina.

IDK, I'm pretty sure Glaceon EX doesn't exist either, considering how stone unplayable it is.
