I don't see enough people talking about the new Mankey. The extra damage for same energy is excellent, but that 10 to self sets up a huge Primeape swing super early. It's been super consistent for me
Yes the new Mankey is hella good makes Primape a very strong choice now. I'm surprised the new Jigglypuff isn't in this pack must come out in the next one.
@@maomekat2369 the audio that's faintly playing in the background starting at like 13 minutes in or whatever is the audio from the previous game he played. If you listen you can hear the same things he said in the game he played right before the one with the overlapped audio. It's not audio from a different video, it's audio from this same video repeated a few minutes later but quieter.
but you still get "just" a worse articuno rather than having none at all. its fairly balanced as it is. which is good. would rather grind an event rather hope for a pull and or using money.
@@christiancooper4561 i dont think u know how mewtwo works, u cant “force” him to use an attack when he has a gardevoir, which is almost 100% of the time. Even if u want to force an attack out, why would u use an ex pokemon that gives 2 points lol, just use a normal pokemon.
@@christiancooper4561 makes no sense , a mewtwo with gardevoir running is guaranteed to get all his energy back for psydrive 150 dmg every turn, if articuno ex comes out and does only 90 dmg at max with giovanni and then get one shot by mewtwo again and enemy gains 2 points, life going down, swap another energy ready mewtwo in the bench lol, an ideal scenario will be when u have2 gardevoir running with another mewtwo at bench lol which i manage to get one game, if was diabolical
Hm, I'm not sure. Maybe had a video in the background? Is it me talking? It was 2am while recording this and I was going insane with Misty misses. Honestly lucky we have a video at all as I almost uninstalled the game haha.
@@regispokebin yeah I'm pretty sure it was audio from the previous match just really quiet. Love your vids btw, I came here from ur Snap content. god tier thumbnails
It's Regis! I loved watching your HS vids glad to see you moved over to this card game, mostly because I've been really into it. I wonder if you've been looking into the promo Mankey card at all. It deals damage to itself and then sets up for Primeape's Fight Back. Might be a solid replacement for Sandshrew's line in the Marrowak EX deck. A glass cannon that deals 100 damage consistently for 2 energy.
Honestly I'm liking this game way more than I expected. Might I say more than Marvel Snap. Sure, Marvel snap you can battle a lot and there's more of a rank system. But I enjoy this more.
so i had time to spend my hourglasses, and i got my first laprass in the 14th pack. at this rate, i should manage to get a second one, but you got lucky to get one so early damn
I also don't know how likely this is, but I'm 4 promo packs in, and I've gotten 2 cards that aren't Lapras, and 2 copies of both. Update: I now have 3 Mankey, 2 Pikachu, 2 Butterfree, and 2 Clefairy from the event packs, but no Lapras EX.
I lucked out and picked up 2 of them from the event. I put together a similar deck. It's a bit feast-or-famine, but it's fun until the randomness gets under my skin.
You don't draw every card in your deck. If one Pokeball is at the bottom of your deck, you have another that you'll draw sooner. It's not about the second one being wasted, it's about finding the first one ASAP.
I’ve generally had two experiences with Misty’s. One, my opponent flips tails and concedes immediately, and two, my opponent flips two heads and I concede. Most poorly designed card so far. If it was just an accelerate one it still would have been good without being oppressive.
Farfetch'd and leeks: I saw a vid from Kyota Ko a few weeks back where he said in japan ducks are always served with leeks so there's a japanese saying "A duck flies in on a leek" which means too good to be true or way too lucky, in other words, farfetched.
Lapras is better with stuff like butterfree or hypno, where it can live one more hit with the support it gets there. The solo lapras deck is just better with articuno
Just use Helioptile for the beginner/intermediate tasks you could even run it in any deck since it's attack needs 2 colorless and it kos all mons except Lapras Ex and Starmie Ex with a heads. If you really want a playable deck you could craft 1 copy of Surge to use his rental deck. It's not the strongest, but got me a win at every level. Sadly every mon in the deck except Raichu gets one shot by Lapras Ex and Starmie Ex :/
Popped the Lapras on my fist pack. What the luck? Also you had a play in that last battle if you played your Sabrina one turn earlier you would have left them with a choice and I have half a mind they were itching to bring in that piks ex and would have done so putting you in an advantageous position to two shot it. Remember mind games are and equal part of Pokemon TCG and reading your opponent goes a long way.
Used my normal stamina and all the hourglasses we got from playing. Pulled at least 2 copies of all the new promo cards so Im good (and i loke an event where finishing it day 1 is possible). Ofc ill keep playing as i not only need to finish all the 'play X # of games' missions for the rewards plus the shop tickets yoi can get per win. Also i want to hoard as many copies of the promo cards as possible in anticipation of trading coming online since this is an early event so down the line i can use these cards as trade fodder for players who started playing PP after this event.
@MrRubixscube it's not some conspiracy, if it's actually bugged dev simply need to look into it. Learn what conspiracy theory is before throwing that term online.
I got lapras on my 3rd pack and finished the set (X1 of each) on my 5th pack. Thought it might be scripted to be given in sequence, but seems I was just lucky/unlucky? (Depends if you are looking for collection or just Lapras)
Lapras EX is a worse Vaporeon for me, anything that oneshots one oneshots the other so the extra healing from Vaporeon seems more valuable for me because you're using them for long trades( i add a Butterfree) Just 10 more health (which doesn't matter because she heals 10 less than Vap) and 20 more damage is not worth the EXtra point you give your opponent if it doesn't work. Now, i know Lapras takes a single deck space and doesn't need you to draw 2 cards to get going, but since they use 3 energy you have quite the time to search your vaporeon specially when Pot of greed is in the game letting you see 10% of your deck when used. And Eevee is still a decent pokemon for the early when you're searching the Vaporeon, doing 40 damage while you search for it, while lapras is only gonna sit there unless you misty for 2 energy which is 1/4 chance. Also i really do like using Butterfree with Vaporeon because Butterfree can be splashed almost in any deck and it actually accelerates your settup because Caterpie itself searchs all your plant pokemons from the deck, so it becomes way more reliable to draw your other cards like an evolution (Vaporoeon) Although it's definitely a go second deck.
@BlankElnino 17th pack and finally saw a lapras. I guess the answer is just keep going at it. Have yet to see any thing besides pikachu and clefairy and that one lapras
Those packs are not even guaranteed. I didn't get it for my first bot match, got one for a second match. I'll quit this game if I won't get at least 1 Lapras ex from this event...
I don't see enough people talking about the new Mankey. The extra damage for same energy is excellent, but that 10 to self sets up a huge Primeape swing super early. It's been super consistent for me

The downside is he gets one shot by farfetch’d. But I haven’t seen as many of those running around.
@micahleutwyler5806 yeah, but not much counterplay against the almighty Birdfather
4:40
Farfetch'd's Japanese name is (literally translated) DuckLeek. Which is also an expression in Japanese for something being "farfetched"
its beacause duck meat goes well with leek, so a duck with a leek in its mouth is almost too good to be true
4:40 - to put it simply, it's his favourite vegetable when you make soup from him :)

If you quit the battle, you don't miss the energy and any missions you have completed when you quit the match counts and gives you the reward.

Oh wow!! That'll be very handy if they get a lucky Misty thanks for the tip man 😁 Just saving the energy from a potential loss is huge.

@@agr0nianTV You are welcome.
The 140 hp doesnt do it justice, it’s basically a worse articuno. Still dies in 1 or 2 hits from all meta decks even with the sustain.
but you still get "just" a worse articuno rather than having none at all. its fairly balanced as it is. which is good. would rather grind an event rather hope for a pull and or using money.

From what I read, higher on expert. Might even be guaranteed if I remember right.

can use the pack points to get misty if theres nothing else in pikachu packs you want
@ Thats not what I meant, just that Pikachu/Zapdos EX and the other electric Pokémon inside of the Pikachu packs would be very helpful for the Event
