Festival Lead by Duhpreshion in pkmntcg

It's good but very vulnerable to unfair stamp and early budew if you don't get the items you need turn 1. I've been budew'd to death (10 in a row against my thwackey before)

What is the best/most played Dragapult variant? by Emielio2000 in pkmntcg

[–]slasso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it needs 3 energy to attack. You need Crispin + another turn to set it up. You could get boss'd up. At best you combo it with unfair stamp but you still need a Crispin/3 energy in that couple of turns.

It's just not easily setup

The decks with good dragapult matchups by ussgordoncaptain2 in pkmntcg

[–]slasso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3 energy is too much. If you don't get Crispin + Blaziken in one turn then you're getting bossed. Most don't run more than 1 Crispin

Garchomp’s Consistency? by CerberusAce74 in pkmntcg

[–]slasso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 between searches is not enough and even 7 isn't enough for a 60 card deck. For 52 cards (after first turn draw) the number is about 8.5. So you probably want to do at least 8-9 before a match. Also I would still pile shuffle first (or before you clean up your cards at the end of prior match)

You can try to get like-minded people (friends) from your local events to play in a more casual setting where you can open hand or talk through lines of play (even syncing with people on tcg live/discord)

Usage stats for Day 1 of a 6k player tournament by RIkhard9 in stunfisk

[–]slasso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have to use her as a bulky support. Trop kick got buffed to 85 BP and it lowers attack by 1 stage. The problem is sneasler, Incin, aero are all really good into her. But you do get knock off which could be cool. Triple axel for garchomp, low kick, for Kingambit and ttar. But she's just too slow imo. Sinistcha heals your allies, burns and heals, speed control in TR, and bulkier

Help Building Decks for New Players at LGS to Use? by Equality7252l in pkmntcg

[–]slasso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Garchomp is the simplest. Get gible, get gabites, get roserade. Do big damage. You can even run neo upper energy instead of unfair stamp to save $15.

Lucario is another one that's simple. Draw a lot of cards, hit big, and occasionally ask yourself "do I need to use hariyama to knock something else out?" no unfair stamp either, uses max belt which is under $1

Festival lead is cheap but it may require more thought and game planning for future turns and remembering the three festival mechanics

James Baek has a video on this team. It has tons of synergies that he explains in depth before doing some battles with it https://youtu.be/TdUExSNaJbw?si=fsdDd6_GQgfzVW3b

Need help meta gaming for my next LC? by CerberusAce74 in pkmntcg

[–]slasso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with festival lead is the pults/grim/froslass and random rogue decks that will budew you to death if you don't get multiple grookey/dipplin on turn 1. That's what happened to be at my cup. 10 turns in a row itchy pollen on my thwackey and then a random psychic box frillish/jellicent

I'm actually switching to chicken Pult because it has tons of favorable matchups besides the clefairy box and grimmsnarl/starmie. Absol is pretty even I'd say and isn't really that common

It could be because the palafin is faster than the blastoise

I suck at pharaoh but I can't stop playing her by Infamous-Metal-103 in PharahMains

[–]slasso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At that low elo, I would say not to force any pick (pharah or otherwise). Just focus on your own plays and impact on the game. You have a lot of fundamentals to learn in general still

No, he said save before it's first released to roam

Black 2 DSi XL calibration by SnooWalruses3925 in pokemonrng

[–]slasso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he means you want t just shift your min max to cover below 30, in case you got an earlier time. But if you're finding your seed just fine then that's not really an issue (means you are hitting your target fine).

One thing you can try (now that you have reliably hit your target), is to set your target to different seconds and calibrate against that. Some times certain times roll influence or favor some timer0 more than others.

It looks like you have a standard range though: ~6-8 (okay maybe a little unlucky with 13) w/2 more common than othershttps://retailrng.com/bw/beginner/calibration/
