One thing no one is pointing out....the mass outbreak is a very very good event for players who dont play the game yet to jump in on. its close to a full Blaine deck built and could be 2x Moltres EX off a full Arcanine EX deck built for new players very fast.
Kinda salty Blaine event but moltress ex does not benefit in itself from Blaine trainer That's one of those cards that'll only get better with time because as new cards are made some bound to be a rapidash or Arcanine, Blaine improves
@@ericmccarthy3490 And of those I only have Centiscorch. The reason I don't play fire is also because I don't have that many Fire cards. My only deck is Pikachu Ex.
For some players that are not competitive or want to battle other people (Me included), the Single player can somewhat fulfil it so it's nice to have event like that.
Even if you have these cards already, they are better than what we've had and you can get flair for them now. I need that 2nd Ninetales for my Blaine deck.
Me and my friends made our own tournament excluding all ex. Made the game so much more fun and fair for everyone. I’m excited to see that be included in those 1000 player tournaments.
ah thats adds a little value. ill make sure i cover that in a future vid when the event drops. for me it doesnt change anything but for those who like flairs it could sway their decision
I’ve been hoarding all of my hour glasses for the past 2 weeks lol, currently have over 300. I got most of the cards I wanted from the current booster packs so I’ve been saving them.
I've been rocking my Gardevoir/Mewtwo EX deck so hard lately So it don't look like this will be much help to me, except for the shop tickets, & hourglasses
This game seems genuinely f2p friendly if they constantly so events for free cards. Promo mankey was the best thing to come out of the lapras ex event, so I hope they do more powerful promos like that.
This could all be for nothing. Depending on how they let us trade with others is going to make a lot of people stop playing. If the rumors are true you can only trade certain cards.
yeah i never expected trading to be on open rails coz it would break the economy of a gacha game, but i can see TCG fans being annoyed if there are heavy restrictions
Unrestricted trading is a lot more likely to kill the game than restricted trading. The core of a card game is getting excited about finding new cards. If you allow unrestricted trading, it effectively becomes easier to find every card, and every card except the most sought after ones become worthless. You can see this happen in ARPGs when a new season starts every item is useful and sought after but after a few weeks almost every item is worthless and people quit and wait for the next reset.
without restriction, you must be that type of person who will create bunch of dummy account and trade pokemon with your main account. that's the only reason your whining about the trade restriction. LOL
@@Volkin-PokemonTCGPocket I think the ideal situation (whether they do it or not is unclear) is to make 4 Diamonds the limit. The game runs around EX cards so much, and people are still struggling to build complete decks as a result. Pack points aren't enough and wonder pick is way too hit or miss. Anything above that I don't think should be allowed to be traded, because those are the chase cards. Even 1 star cards have secret missions behind them. I've spent a little bit of money on my account not including the premium pass, and I'm at level 24, and as of writing I'm still missing 2 Venusaur ex, 1 Machamp ex, 1 Gengar ex, 1 Wigglytuff ex, and 1 Arcanine ex. Not to mention some other 1 diamond and 3 diamond cards I have yet to pull anything on. Yes it is a gacha game but if you can't engage in a core mechanic of deck building, then it's not fun. So I think for the battling component of the game they should allow for basic exs to be trade. But that's just one random person's humble opinion.
I just hope anything above 1 Star rarity can't be traded, but anything from Diamond 4 and below is, and if not at least Diamond 3. The EX cards would be really good to trade so that people can actually build decks, and anything from below will be not only for decks but also collection.. And that's just me, who pulled ZERO Gardevoir and ZERO Dragonair from the packs, so I would like to at least trade them
The game just got released, but these are the same devs of Pokemon Masters, and when I played it yes they did rerun events, but after months or even a year. It might not have the same rewards tho
The events look like absolute garbage if youve been playing longer than 3 weeks. Theyre stingy as heck with hourglasses, so we'll probably only get 1 per.
This wonder pick event is actually great for me. 1. I still need another Arcanine EX on my main account 2. I don't even have a full deck on my alt account as I'm still missing a Zapdos EX despite exclusively pulling from Pikachu packs. Even burning my hourglases. So this is a great way to very easily and potentially get a Blaine deck on the quick.
@@bambusbjorn3756 I'm too far in and can't be bothered at this point. I should have done it earlier. It's just an alt account I made to trade stuff to my main account in the future anyway. So I'm not too fussed. I'm overall happy with my main account progress, so I will just keep plugging away.
I've been using Charizard EX, and I'll be happy to pull an Arcanine EX, and have more stuff! Don't care if it's not much, but I would appreciate free stuff, and prizes for this event. I'm happy about this event, with me planing to do more fire decks!
I can't remember during the Meowth event, but I think pulling packs and getting a fire card contributes to the event mission as well? Because I am 1000% not spending the wonder hourglasses for the fire events.
Ive saved my pack hourglass and now its 256, but if you think about it, its only 20 packs which is not much. I think they really need to make a better system for crafting the common and regular ex cards, right now its too expensive.
It sucks that Charizard EX doesn't count towards the 5 Charizard. I keep getting the immersive EX I have 4 of those, 2 of the regular Charizard EX, and only 1 Charizard card
I wish we could convert packs to hourglass I don't really wanna pull anymore since I already completed the Kanto Dex. Going to New Zealand as an F2P was really a huge advantage on getting more chances for cards 😂
offerings still look incredibly bleak for F2P and assuming trading doesnt fix the issue and launches greedy or half baked i dont see how the playerbase sustains itself
F2P is eating perfectly fine. The fact that free event cards for the best budget deck available is even a better plus. No, you cant build 15 different decks going f2p but you can definitely build multiple strategies and have fun unless you just wildly mismanaged your hourglasses like spreading them completely even across all packs or something.
idk if i should tell this but there's a bug in ios for the premium pass.. my two weeks free trial was long gone and im still getting free packs from the pass everyday..
@@Volkin-PokemonTCGPocket i did not cancel the sub. i have an account for mobile games and its usually empty, i only put money on it whenever i try to spend on anything but this time i noticed i still get my free packs from everyday and im still in premuim apple occasionally sends me msg that the account have insufficient balance but it never cancels out my subscription.. so rn im just trying to see how long i can get away with it before they unsubscribe me.
I already have the blaine deck. Ok im missing 1 magmar, but even with two i will not use them. I prefer to use Farfetches. But maybe if i get Arcanine EX maybe i can mix the both blaine and Arcanine? I dont know.
I guess Misty Starmie Ex deck players will rejoice if a lot playing this Blaine fire deck lol. Just saying. Not that I have a Water deck, I am a Mewtwo Ex and Pika Ex deck user.
damn this game is good for F2P, i saved 300+ hourglass now edit: i hope they dont change hourglass for new packs also premium pass just selling skin coin,playmate etc There isn't any hourglass so as F2P is ok no buying premium pass
Nintendo and DENA should make more content for this game,after i get 45 wins in event i just play only for daily mission for 4 hourglass. They should make ranked faster so competitive player stay longer. And more content/cards in shop so i can spend my shop ticket. And last,rarity in pack should bettet and making deck easily,imagine i have Squirtle and Blastoise EX but still no Wartortle in same pack. Make first turn game so we can put energy too,so useless in first turn except Water pokemon right now.
Yea! I just realized how stingy this game is when it comes to giving out things. Wuthering Waves & other games be giving out things just for nomination in GOTY & also when they got initially released. This game hasn't been anything but lacking. If this goes on, I give this game about 4 months till it drops dead & people move on to other things.
better than the chancey meowth event. we get pack glasses and shop tickets added to the free picks and the arcanine zard pick is better that the chancey meowth pick if you dont have arcanine yet

If you dont have to use 4-5 points for the wish yes. Otherwise its only for cashers or New players. Big L but time will Tell
they should make packs every 8 hours for a total of 3 packs a day
I want a pack every hour for 24 a day
I don't really play Fire types that often, but I guess this is a good opportunity to build a Fire deck.
Moltres, Charizard, Centiskorch and you'll destroy ppl
@@ericmccarthy3490 And of those I only have Centiscorch. The reason I don't play fire is also because I don't have that many Fire cards. My only deck is Pikachu Ex.
I just can’t wait for something similar to the lapras event. I had so much fun doing those since I don’t like going against real people
The next PVE event (just like Lapras) will be on Nov 28 according to leaks.
For some players that are not competitive or want to battle other people (Me included), the Single player can somewhat fulfil it so it's nice to have event like that.
@@falsaai awesome! What Pokémon are featured so I know which packs I should be opening to get something super effective
It's nice when you can use the auto-battling feature against the AI to farm rewards by putting your phone away.
You’ve been killing this Pocket content bro 🔥
Keep crushing it!
🍻
Even if you have these cards already, they are better than what we've had and you can get flair for them now. I need that 2nd Ninetales for my Blaine deck.
And if they didn't pull 5 regular Charizards to complete one of the missions, we have a better chance now!
Oddly enough I'm still missing a Vulpix and the one i do have was a consolation prize from a wonder pick (and charizad is my most opened pack
Me and my friends made our own tournament excluding all ex. Made the game so much more fun and fair for everyone. I’m excited to see that be included in those 1000 player tournaments.
The mission to pull a Arcanine EX also gives a special flair for completing it, its not just 1 wonder hourglass and 1 shop ticket.
ah thats adds a little value. ill make sure i cover that in a future vid when the event drops. for me it doesnt change anything but for those who like flairs it could sway their decision
@@Volkin-PokemonTCGPocket oh yeah for sure, for some people its worth. i'm a boat where i need a second arcanine ex so might as well go for it haha.
Yeah! Some will want that, some don't care. I'm glad we're getting a better chance! (hopefully)
O read somewhere they start 21.11 and was so hyped. Another day of waiting ;----;
depends on your timezone brother
at what time does the game update ? im waiting on it
I'm F2P but I already completed my Meotwo ex and Pikachu ex Deck. Now aiming for Charizard ex
I’ve been hoarding all of my hour glasses for the past 2 weeks lol, currently have over 300. I got most of the cards I wanted from the current booster packs so I’ve been saving them.
I've been rocking my Gardevoir/Mewtwo EX deck so hard lately
So it don't look like this will be much help to me, except for the shop tickets, & hourglasses
These events seem like a way to bring new players in, when i’m looking for something to keep me playing
Thanks for keeping us up to date with all the news and info. Super helpful! Even better that its a fellow aussie 💪
I still need a 2nd Ninetales, and my first Blaine and Arcanine. Thanks for the heads up, no frivolous wonder picking until the 22nd.
This game seems genuinely f2p friendly if they constantly so events for free cards. Promo mankey was the best thing to come out of the lapras ex event, so I hope they do more powerful promos like that.
I needed both charmaleon and Ninetales to finish Charizard and blaine, so this is perfect😂
Thank you Volkin for the great content! I’m mostly excited for Black Friday, hopefully we get great deals to prepare before the next set.
This could all be for nothing. Depending on how they let us trade with others is going to make a lot of people stop playing.

The game just got released, but these are the same devs of Pokemon Masters, and when I played it yes they did rerun events, but after months or even a year. It might not have the same rewards tho
Doesnt matter. You really didn't miss anything from this event, just a mid lapras ex
The events look like absolute garbage if youve been playing longer than 3 weeks. Theyre stingy as heck with hourglasses, so we'll probably only get 1 per.
This wonder pick event is actually great for me.
1. I still need another Arcanine EX on my main account

Restart the alt account. Got 2 pikachus and 1 zaptos with my first 10 pull. Took me 3 trys overall.

i didn't even know shop hourglasses say 99+...don't have the patience 😅

I only get one Lapras from the last event eve though I play everyday. gg. (hope they make better events)
that hurts bad. sorry to hear
I got 0 from almost 50 packs
dang... I sure hope the promo Lapras was just an alternative art and not official.
same but since it sucks I don't mind that much
I managed to get 2 on the last day of the event while not pulling any prior 😂
I wish with the daily’s free packs you could stack them and save them for a 10 pull
I can't remember during the Meowth event, but I think pulling packs and getting a fire card contributes to the event mission as well? Because I am 1000% not spending the wonder hourglasses for the fire events.
if it's a wonderpick magikarp event, I'm saving all of my hourglasses for it, I need a full binder of flaired up magikarps for no reason whatsoever.
First afk arena now this. I can’t escape volkin
Making the wonder pick event cost hourglasses is insane. Why would i ever waste hourglasses on bad fire types?
Ive saved my pack hourglass and now its 256, but if you think about it, its only 20 packs which is not much. I think they really need to make a better system for crafting the common and regular ex cards, right now its too expensive.
Make a deck utilizing the garenteed basic pokemon mechanic in the opening hand.
Thanks for the information.
It sucks that Charizard EX doesn't count towards the 5 Charizard. I keep getting the immersive EX I have 4 of those, 2 of the regular Charizard EX, and only 1 Charizard card
I know right, its that same for me but with mewtwo. They should make the immersives and Exs count
Oh goodie, maybe I can finally get a charmeleon. 3 charizard ex and 2 full art charmander, but no charmeleon
I wish we could convert packs to hourglass I don't really wanna pull anymore since I already completed the Kanto Dex. Going to New Zealand as an F2P was really a huge advantage on getting more chances for cards 😂
offerings still look incredibly bleak for F2P and assuming trading doesnt fix the issue and launches greedy or half baked i dont see how the playerbase sustains itself
depends how many free hourglasses we get when a new set launches from thing like new solo battle leagues that they might introduce
F2P is eating perfectly fine. The fact that free event cards for the best budget deck available is even a better plus. No, you cant build 15 different decks going f2p but you can definitely build multiple strategies and have fun unless you just wildly mismanaged your hourglasses like spreading them completely even across all packs or something.
I’m F2P and having a blast! Battling is fun, collecting is fun, loving life 👍
I haven’t spent a dime and I feel like I have every card.
@@cbyt8759i completed 2 full decks and almost 200 diff cards in a f2p account (without premium pass trial)
Does anyone know how often the free Chansey and Meowth wonder picks refreshed? It was quite frequent.
Nothing to do in the game for a week now. They must pick up the pacing on these events.
I got that doggy 🐕 4 times already
idk if i should tell this but there's a bug in ios for the premium pass.. my two weeks free trial was long gone and im still getting free packs from the pass everyday..

edit: i hope they dont change hourglass for new packs
also premium pass just selling skin coin,playmate etc There isn't any hourglass
so as F2P is ok no buying premium pass
i need the magikarp event to feature magikarp/gyarados cosmetics for sleeves/coin and backdrop pls pls pls
"Dyitamine"
There is so little content on this gam that people have o make videos of almost nothing, just like the pokemonmasters game from the same company
ahhhhhhhh!!!!!
they shouls re work charmander like they did mankey
We need weekly missions man, with maybe 6-8 hourglass reward. We need ranked, with hourglass rewards well.
And I use the pack point for chameleon fuck this game
Darta mines.
nice
Nintendo and DENA should make more content for this game,after i get 45 wins in event i just play only for daily mission for 4 hourglass.
They should make ranked faster so competitive player stay longer.
And more content/cards in shop so i can spend my shop ticket.
And last,rarity in pack should bettet and making deck easily,imagine i have Squirtle and Blastoise EX but still no Wartortle in same pack.
Make first turn game so we can put energy too,so useless in first turn except Water pokemon right now.
we need a ranked system asap, they should not wait till january
Yeah, more Pikachu and Mewtwo decks please
I am boring😅
Hope the magikarp and gyaradose involve the shiny versions of both of them
ya
These events are so bad
Meh seems like a dead even for me nothing i need
The economy of this game is awful 🤣
the telling point will be when we see a new set and if we get a big influx of new solo battles with pack hourglasses or not
@ I agree
You’re doing something wrong if you don’t have enough shop tickets currently around 140 tickets with everything out of stock.
Yea! I just realized how stingy this game is when it comes to giving out things.
