Current Events > Pokemon TCG Pocket General 4 - Gold/Silver Edition

(+) Yeah! (+)

Topic 4 of the general. Venasaur event is still going and the new Bulbasaur/Magnemite wonder pick as well.

First poll question was about starters for the 1st gen which Charmander won. 2nd poll question was which pack did you open first, Mewtwo pack had the most votes.

You all better not include any Pichu's or Igglybuff's in your Typloshin decks

Brag tag!

What's the main deck you used to get those wins?

Honestly, just about everything. But I feel Pikachu ex and Arcazard are best with Mewtwo and Starmie flavors next best. The first decent cards I got to build competitive decks with were Water (Starmie) and Weezing/Arbock, got my first 100 wins with those. At that point I had amassed enough cards to start piecing together the big meta decks and focused on Pikachu first, then Mewtwo then Zard. The fire event really helped with that, plus I got real lucky and grabbed 2 Moltres earlier from wonder picks.

Totodile was and is the best 2nd gen starter.

Cyndaquil!

But how many losses?

Finally thought of a good binder theme:

Nice, heres mine:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/5eeb6f2c.jpg

Not as much time to battle as Id like these days, but Ive got some solid decks. Looking forward to the win streak event.

Side question, do you need both EX and Standard versions of the original 150 to get the Mew card? Or does either version work?

Need me a Blastoise

only need 1 for pokedex completion to get the card.

Cool, thanks. Do promos count as well, or do I need to get a standard Butterfree?

Got lucky and finally got my Voltorbs, plus a single Wigglytuff EX. Itd be nice to pull a second and try out sleep spam. Any suggestions for good partners for Wiggly EX?

These are the Pokmon we had in the original run of Twitch Plays Pokemon. With some helix fossils on top.

you could go frosmoth/seaking and really go all out with sleep or coin flips

i wouldn't see why it wouldn't.

though not 100% confirmed. got a chime on a pack opening to find out it's a full art cubone.

Either version works, but promo cards do not work.

Sounds fun. Im also thinking about Pidgeot since using its ability to swap someone in then sleep them to 50/50 trap them sounds entertaining, plus its 100% colorless, fun for a gimmick.

Thanks. I dont think Im missing too many else - Jolteon and a handful of stage 2s, I think.

Spent a 10 pull on Pikachu pack and only got a new full art Squirtle and dupe full art Gyrados. My luck has been absolute garbage for a while.

Oh boy what's your friend code?

tagging the new topic

I finally got my first promo Haunter after so many pulls.

Posting just so this is in my active threads.

Still no god pack yet, ain't even gonna touch PVP matches

Hating this game more and more each day :D

Are most people getting god packs? I've never gotten one

Me either and I've been playing daily since New Zealand release in September.

IIRC god packs are something like a 0.5% chance or something crazy low like that, so its pretty iffy about anyone getting one.

havent been able to pull the promo bulbasaur yet, even after doing a WP that was four of them and one magnetite lmao

Is promo Bulbasaur registering for people in bonus pick? Magnemite is for me. But Bulbasaur isn't. On the first day I got 2 promo Bulbasaur that didn't register. And since then, the bonus picks only have regular Bulbasaur. So I don't have the card and the missions aren't completing.

Finally my first immersive card... And another EX mewtwo

So I don't have the card

it's supposed to register. i had only one time in which a card didn't register but that wasn't during an event.

if possible i would try to get ahold of the support and maybe they can grant you it (if remember the time you wonder picked). it's not a guarantee that they'll do something but it's worth a try.

Feraligatr is just a worse version of Gyarados

I didn't realize there was support. They responded quickly. All they said though was that they'll forward my feedback to internal teams.

Man, **** that fire deck in Solo Master Class when trying to clear the challenge to win with a Grass deck. Been trying multiple times and getting Exeggutor EX to flip a single heads once in its pathetic life is aggravating. Meanwhile, AI is free to juice its EX bench with Moltres flips. Is there any other grass line im missing to make this challenge easier, or do I just need to ram my head into the wall enough and get a lucky run with Eggy?

It just feels like Grass doesnt have a lot of options that ramp quickly enough to keep up with the Fire deck, even with substandard AI play. I guess Lilligant/Venusaur, maybe? Or go for a long shot and try Victreebel to snipe weak stuff off of the bench?

Another 4 cost wonder pick, another fail.

I tried for one today too, no bueno as well.

You guys are getting 4 cost wonder picks?

I see them occasionally but only just recently, which makes me think the age of an account allows for "better" picks

Rarely, I got a rainbow rare Moltres ex from one a few weeks back. Whiffed on the other few I've tried since, and I always try for one if I see them. Today was for the rainbow rare Zapdos ex which would have also given me the bird emblem. It know I want it and taunting me.

I just made shitty decks with only four pokes. Two basics and their evolutions that can attack with one energy and try to just get lucky to have them only have one Pokemon and get knocked out before they get another.

Really wish we knew what we could trade before I burn these event hourglasses trying to get the venusaur promo.

1 in 2000 chance so no.

I have 4 EX pikachu(including 3 immersive) but no Raichu.

Also 4 EX Exeggutor(1 full art) but no regular(and only 1 exeggcute)

Also no regular charizard or blastoise but 2EX char(1 immersive) and 3 EX blastoise.

Least I have solid rare trade fodder? If they don't make trading too useless anyways...

Im guessing the 4-Diamond cards (eg the common versions of EX Pokmon) are probably going to be tradable, so Im trying to get as many as I can.

my alternate account managed to get the arcanine from that.
it was loading for a long time, hoping it was something nice and it was.

Y'all think they will add a ranking system? I've finally slowed down with battles and now I want stakes.
