@@CiscoR21it’s only a week old and I ran out of things to do on day two. I’ve spent zero money and have beaten every solo mission, and all but two of the bonus objectives that come along with them. The game is fun, but the PvP is too unrewarding to keep F2P players engaged.

@@flamemaster3436 if you’re asking for the dex in general you can just google it. but in game I don’t know how to sort pokémon by pokédex number. so it’s difficult to find what I do and don’t have, anybody know how to sort by pokédex number?
5:41 NOTE: Only the rainbow border cards count for this mission. And the emblem poses of the pokemon are the same as the poses they have in the respective cards, wich is really cool!
As a full time dad with a full time job, this game is so cool. You just log in once or twice a day. Open the pack, enjoy the cards then do it all over again the next day. Battling is fun too!
I really like how this game has so many little "easter eggs", like how whenever you collect a certain amount of cards it always tells you what the number has to do with Pokemon xD Like that 16 reminds of Dragonite, since it can fly around the world in just 16 hours :'D
What you mean? You pretty get everything without paying, just slower which is no big deal. Just digital cards. If I'm going to pay money I'll just buy physical packs so I can resell them.
@ I was just thinking about making my first actual purchase on it right as you commented this.. I am 3 cards away from getting the mew but I know once I start I won’t stop until I pull what I need. I’ve been whaleish in other mobile games and it was hard to stop soooo idk. I hope they add trading in soon
THEY BETTER PRINT THESE CARDS FOR A SET. not because of the exclusive arts, its because of me finding a Gengar illustrated by my favourite artist (Naoyo Kimura), then the absolute ANGUISH when i realise that the Gengar is some obscure Japanese only e-reader card that can go for near £100+.
this is the first time i have watched a Austin John video in a while and i am so glad that the music is the exact same as it was when he would do sun and moon tutorials 0:30 in
You have no idea how much I enjoy your content. Been playing Pokemon since I was 6-7 now at 31 I have my son playing TCG pocket and the main series (5). We watch your stuff together and I want you to know, your work, means a lot. Thank you Austin! P.S. Beard or no beard, you are the GOAT.
Facts. I'm playing with a group of friends. They're drawing like fire. I'm drawing like trash. Had one friend draw all three Mewtwo EXs this morning one after another.
@@chuckj7869 omg same, I only got Articuno ex full art and Venusaur ex full art, my ex gf got immersive Mewtwo and gold full art Mewtwo in the same pack
@6:37 FYI Austin, there are two different 2 Star cards for the Legendary Birds: There's the regular Full Art, and the ALT Art. You need the ALT art versions of the cards (like your Zapdos) for that secret mission. That Articuno you have is just a regular Full Art.
Just an FYI, it looks like promos do not count towards this mission. I have Butterfree promo from the Lapras solo battle event and Butterfree is the only standard card I am missing from the Kanto Pokedex. I used all my pack points to get other cards thinking I was good on Butterfree, but now I keep pulling those same cards in search for the Butterfree lol.
It's such a fun little app, hit level 13 today and my pack openings are starting to slow down a bit, not going to worry about completing the dex, quite content with just casually opening packs as they come.
@@mattvarley3462 ain’t no way…the game didn’t release until October 28-30th based on region. Edit: you’d have to be extremely lucky to be getting cards you don’t have on each opening. I’ve been playing since launch, opening cards every day, and still only have 138 cards.
@@vinokai it came out September 27 (or 28 I can’t remember) in New Zealand. So yes it’s possible that I have been playing that long. Austin was even doing live streams and putting out videos a month ago about it haha
So fun information that I just learned. Apparently there is a 30 turn maximum for versus, as well as the fact that you can not win/lose by deck out. I think there needs to be a rules button like on solo mode, and the latter should be changed so it does happen to be consistent wit h the physical TCG. I know its a cut down 20 card deck, but out of my 100+ matches, I have never run into either scenario yet. But I have had friends who have. I only managed to make a cpu deck out once.
I saw this vid last night and had no prior knowledge of the Mew being in the game. Leave it to Austin John to cover it! Got my Mew this morning and added it to my MewTwo deck - subbed out Jynx for Mew
I haven't watch one of your videos in a while so this was a good refresher, also I had to do a 3 triple take when I notice that the beard was significantly short 😂😂😂 Keep up the good work as always man you rock!
When you click the plus button on cards you need for collections, it will show you the specific card(s) it’s looking for. If you click on the Snorlax card, you’ll see it only show the full art, so that’s what’s you need
I got it this morning on accident. I was trying to complete the other missions which were Kanto Pokémon and then I noticed I got a Mew. I hope they do more like that in future updates
Funny how it's only attack forces your opponent to reveal their hand at the end of your turn. It's like they thought "Yeah, forcing your opponent to reveal the cards in their hand moments before they play them is a huge power play" 😂
Saw this comment in another vid about bent packs " So, once you select "open pack" the game will always open a pack. At this point, if someone goes to wonder trade before you open a pack, they will see what is in your first pack. If you choose another pack, you will get another pack, which I have tested and did pull a different pack to what was shown on wonder trade" I figure that it might be worth testing if you have multiple accounts
If you click on the cards you don't have in the collection missions it will show you all the versions of that card that count towards the mission. If it shows the pack when you click it that means it has to be the one in the picture
I need it to be known that as I was listening to this video I pulled both the immersive art Mewtwo and the secret art Snorlax and just felt that the odds of that were absolutely absurd
I thought this game was kind of underwhelming at first but it's really grown on me and I play it daily. It's such a low pressure game. Who doesn't want to open card packs daily?
Good to know and much easier then I expected cuz I was under the impression that we needed to complete tr he entire Gen Apex set to get the Immersive Mew
Wasn’t gonna play the game because I got nothing good at the start but I decided to reroll for the Immersive Art Mewtwo and got it in the first tutorial pack and now my account is super lucky
Just trying to get my head around the remaining missions on the solo battles. The final ones where you have to use cards weak to that type (fire Vs water etc) it's harder than expected... Or luck based! Thanks for this. Gives me something to aim for rather than failing at battles 😅
I got a tip for the battles make a deck that has 6-8 pokemon and the rest support(2 of each of these, potion, x speed, poke ball, prof research, giovanni, sabrina)(if you have 6 pokemon add 2 more supports i like the red card)
@ScottyP04 that's similar to how I've tried it. The venasaur ex one wasn't too bad as you can make a deck which is the right type but isn't weak at the same time. (Machamp). It's less easy with the water and fire deck challenges! 🤔 I'll get there eventually. Trying Moltres EX as it's not weak to water at the moment but you can only have two!
@@MarkBailey let me put you on to an electric deck if you have the cards its 2 voltorbs and electrodes 2 zapdos ex or normal and 2 pikachu ex plus all of those supports the pikachu is amazing i only have problems against mewtwo decks(online battles) and a good fighting deck, other than that it wins most of the time
Im not planning to play this but, watching that mew animation, it made me think that hiding a gen 10 pokemon in one of these would be a really cool way of doing a special reveal (a la meltan/g!ponyta/greavard)
I don't have Charizard, but I still have the "collect 5 Charizard" mission. The ex cards might not count in collections, but getting one might still be the trigger, cuz I got Charizard ex on one of my earliest wonder packs.
there is another secrets mission to get all the non-secret rare cards. I got it, it gave me three new profile portraits. a mewtwo, charizard and pikachu. They all look like the same art work that are on the binders for apex from the ticket shop

You with the low trim beard feels more nostalgic. I think it was the Scarlet/Violet days or maybe as far back as Animal Crossing New Horizons.
Even though i have promo butter free it did not count for getting mew so they have to be all from genetic apex specifically
Beard or no beard, you are still awesome sauce!
First actually helpful TCGP video I've seen. Thanks!
Just to confirm, it has to be all within the apex booster packs, it doesn't count if you have some from the mythical island and the apex packs
