compared to other mobile/gacha games im really appreciating how they've been handing out new content. i feel like i have time to collect the cards, make multiple decks and have fun while not being pushed to "buy the new set" right away. people say its stale but i think its nice to not be overwhelmed by the game.
As Willow said, most of us still need a lot to complete the collection of the cards available now, without big spending and/or a lot of luck it takes quite a lot to complete the cardex, even without considering the variant arts, just having 2 (or even 1) of all cards. There are so many decks that I would like to try but am always missing 1 or 2 cards 😢
im f2p and got almost all the cards got 2 top tier decks 1 topish 1 mid tier I also got plenty of the special art cards. Trading also hasn't even been added. the lapras event was essentially a free articuno ex With the next few sets of cards it will make many more decks viable.
@@HI-kb2cg same is my case that free 2 week of premium is gold and helps a lot. I got everything and about to finish kanto pokedex only missing 7 cards.
thats so true i was already 100 bucks deep before i got every card to build decks with but i was gonna pay anyway so it wasnt that big of a deal for me Still dont got a Gold Card😂😢
That's just the way it's gonna be. You could go all year on f2p before getting all the cards. I'd rather be missing a few and maybe be able to trade for them than get bored just hunting one card for months.
I’m still missing over half the EX’s as a f2p. I started last week so a little later than others, but i did just pull a gold pikachu yesterday, I also have 2 immersive charizards!
I’ll be honest , I am playing the slow game of it of just waiting for my pack refills and opening daily and I am liking how the game is not throwing many new events with brand new cards with a new set yet. It gives others time to catch up without blowing money fast
One thing that i notice some days ago, is that we have an energy field on discard pile, probably some moment we will have some way to retrieve energy just like on normal TCG.
I'm assuming you ran them with Cubone/Marowak, or Sandshew/Sandslash? That's good rng if you have the fossil version before other decks due to the pack spread. I have 2 accounts that I've spent money on, like 2000 cards total, and the Mankey/fossil deck is the only deck I can't make without spending pack points. I've had 1 Kabutops since like the 4th pack I opened when starting at launch lol(also evaded me twice in wonder pick). Great they added that Mankey, and he was able to perform for some people. Personally, I don't think I've seen it more than once, or twice.
Yeah full heal basically buff to grass deck. And full heal helps making Weez match up less stressful. Imagine full heal comes in clutch saving you from the poison Arbok lockdown strategy
It does that in the real tcg where it takes 30 damage on a tails. That is current version meanwhile the initial version only did 20 damage, but if you retreated you had flip heads otherwise the retreat would fail and you'd still loose the retreat energy. In pocket the health totals are lower so I think 20 damage would be just fine.
With the implementation of new card types like tools, possibly stadiums, acespecs and such, I think we may need more deck space (I do see there are 10 addition deck slots that are not usable currently)
Maybe they'd have 2 different pop options? One has 20 card decks, and the other has 30? It'd make for a very interesting meta. There'd be tons of variation in what's good with 1/3 more cards
Tool cards would likely mirror held items from the video games (at least that’s what normal TCG does). Choice Band (increased damage on consecutive uses of the same move) could be nuts on some pokemon for ramp up
Hey Dekks!! Question: why choose Arcanine EX over Centiscorch? 🤔 From what I see, Centiscorch is just flat out superior...thoughts? Edit: Centiscorch is a good non-EX option, but the extra energy required to attack and retreat means Arcanine is superior. Thanks for the insight!
Centiscorch attack costs 1 more which is a big deal. For that it only does 10 extra damage which is basically never relevant. Arcanine EX can 1-hit Pikachu, which is the important thing.
@@Tomovanlaanen yeah, I did some investigating and Arcanine is clearly superior, even at a glance. Lol. Centi is still viable as a non-EX or budget option tho....but yeah. I see it now. Arcanine is superior.
@@redsnipingshot Centiscorch is 4 energy (1 fire and 3 colorless) for 130 dmg, and 3 retreat cost. I think an argument can be made to why one would play it, but for the sake of this discussion, I learned what I needed to know. The Good Boy is better than Satan's centipede. 🤣
I got 5 of Lapras EX =))) and I played the event for 3 days only xD - late comer. I think that Venusaur will be a nice addition. You could want one if you don't have 2 Venusaur EX (and I guess that Eggsecutor is more impoirtnat to get first).
I feel like most tcg players would assume this, but energy retrevial will be coming at some point! In the discard pile yoy can see the discarded energies. I don't see another reason they'd do that lmao
i mean if we get pokemon tools than maybe articuno can get even better? like a little more protection against sleep if we get berries or something like this. it really depends on what we get as the pokemon tools but according to the TCG there are a lot of pretty good ones.
@@luckytako633 people like winning so I understand the pikaEx players. I on the other prefer people not leaving turn 2 so I mostly play wigglytuff, arcanine, or alakazam decks
Good thing there is no legacy for that deck, been keeping an eye on top performing decks in recent tourneys no where to be seen, in fact almost always with a below average winrate, if you wanna win play it as a real deck with Starmie Ex, that one won a tourney
For those that haven’t played the actual card game and experienced what stadiums or certain tools do, good luck because it’s gonna be hell especially with people complaining about mewtwo and pikachu decks at the moment💀🙏🏽
The reason why the Growlithe deck runs Aero fossil is for it's bad match ups against big stage 2 Pokémon like Charizard and Venusaur ex. This gives it an option to just yeet it back into the deck
Honestly the upcoming wonderpicks are fairly cool for me, I don't have any Gyarados or Greninja nor Arcanine/Charizard. Honestly it's odd I don't have any of Charizard pack cards cause I've been opening the pack exclusively for at least the last 2 weeks mainly looking for Kangaskhan. Shame that the alternate Vena art isn't for the Ex and Moltres Ex/Charizard Ex won't be available. I'm also surprised neither Magikarp nor Gyarados are getting alt arts heck doesn't even look like Gyarados' full art will be featured which is shitty :/ Interesting that confusion doesn't wear off like the games, but it also lacks the damage yourself aspect of the tcg. 18:43 I could see either a Lum Berry tool that removes status conditions and/or Full Heal item. In case of Lum Berry it'd become active at your check up turn so the two items can coexsist. I doubt they'll print specific cure cards since an Antidote or Chesto berry would be extremely matchup dependent and therefore bad meanhwile I could see Lum/Full Heal taking a spot especially with high retreat cost Pokemon. 29:02 Honestly I wonder how this deck compares to the true budget option a Centiskorch version. It's as consistent as Arcanine, same working hp, same damage attack, takes 1 more energy (+ the upkeep), but only gives one prize point. If taken out (provided Moltres lived) you could build a 2nd with your other Moltres then end on Moltres if the 2nd Skorch goes down. Food for thought.
I literally just crafted my second greninja. Pulled soooo many charizard packs and couldn’t get a greninja or even frogadier. I actually crafted 2 greninjas and 1 frogadier, had to wonder pick my other frogadier.
Stumbled into this and immediately though, ooo nice, a Snap Chat like Pokemon "podcast". Does not work for me, never knew why i enjoyed the Snap Chat so much, but i guess it was actually because i didn't really consume it as a podcast, and turns out on screen chemistry and banter probably were more relevant that the actual marvel snap content. A talking Chicorita, which in this day and age might as well be an IA generated voice, really dampers my interest unfortunately. Best of luck for it though
They’re literally doing exactly that, watch the video please. New jigglypuff AND new haunter, which is more than the Lapras one where there was only the new mankey
that thumbnail is one of the most egregious bait I've seen in TCG pocket content from engaged content creators. "its in the filters, we know nothing else".
Well I don't have my hopes up, they already added Psychic type mons with Steel weaknesses. Also, it wouldn't change much because the current Dragon mons(the Dratini line) have no weaknesses, and so far I haven't see any old card being changed(even if it is possible)
We will see, the deck only has 20 cards. Good balance with basics is important, Professor and pokeball are important for consistency and there is just not that much space and then we have to decide if we want to drop stuff like Sabrina and x speed which are also vital for almost any deck. I hope tools are well balanced
@@Ganking553 this has been one of my main concerns, i wonder if they plan on expanding the deck bc 20 just feels too small once they introduce other stuff present in the actual tcg as well as just additional mechanics in general since some cards are too important to not slot so "tech/niche" card picks are too restricted
@@vapecatto420Yeah, we dedibitely need ways to grab evolutions (+2 items per stage you want to find), some double energy effect to use for big energy mons (+2 trainers I would imagine) and then also just pokemon tools, too. Deckbuilding will be so tight, so fast.
@@Ganking553 you would think on paper, but say float stone it gives free retreat cost, so no more need for x speed as your already at zero. It will get tight when we get great and ultra balls, cause the search for stage one and two cards and that will be extremely valuable. This game mimics the x and y meta of the game almost perfectly too just look at those meta cards in that format those are the cards I think we likely get, and some of them are OP.
They could have easily just put a promo sign on the corner of the cards even if it’s the old art, for a company that’s making millions of dollars this is just lazy work lol
Sadly that just sounds like Pay2WonderPick Fire Mons A lot of ppl tyrd to play Gyarados and its just Bad and Super slow without Misty Luck. And Fire Decks are not really that good in the Meta to spend real money on Wonderpicks. Its nice to do every second day but nothing more. I Was hoping for some actually "New" Cards like the Lapras EX (why not Onix EX now?) or the really good Mankey Promo card For free 2 play dead Content after the good Lapras Event, really sad the game slows down that fast 😢
Right? I mean the wonder pick thing is ok I guess, but is it even reduced prices?(It's not looked back at the video) So, an ex being in there still make it 3. If you need a charmeleon like he said, but there's an ex in there, then to pick it would cost 3 instead of a charmeleon being in a 1 pick normally(maybe a 1 pick can still happen, and obviously a 3 pick can happen normally too, making this no different). Yeah idk, once again, kinda feels like bad design.
love the event, still need one arcanine ex. new art are amazing as well! i think the game wants to focus more on collection than competitive, which is good for the majority and the game long term.
They will lose so much money without a balance of both. It's bad design already. It's crazy how many cards there are, which sets contain certain cards, and how rng can have you pulling 6 Immersive cards, 2 alt arts, and a crown rare WEEKS before you get a playset of trainers lmfao. You shouldn't be having to spend pack points on commons, or even base rares after having 2000+ cards. The pack point(wannabe pity) system is just flat out bad. You either need more points per pack, the cards need to be a bit cheaper, or just not even offer the very top rarity of the cards in general. There's no realistic chance a completely f2p player is getting 2500 points before the new set(unless the sets last for several months each time), let alone numerous times to actually collect all the cards. That said, when the new set comes out you won't be pulling on these packs so your pack points that are saved are almost useless. You'll forever be behind which is exactly what they want. If you're spending hourglasses on old packs, you're not getting new cards. The only thing the game will have is long term. As in play for YEARS to never end up with all the cards anyway. So, real life all over again, except trading might really suck and be super limited, and you can't just go buy a Dragonite or w/e at the card shop for $10. It will cost you 150 points which is 30 packs. or roughly 2 weeks of daily packs. Idk about you, but doing that for 1 card that isn't even that rare, or good, is bad design.
The "new mechanics" are not new we already knew about them simply from reading the tips in the game .... this felt like a bait and switch Dekks please do better.
I think Willow's take that when he have Arcanine set up he wish it would be Charizard is so bad. Charizard requires more cards, more turns and more energy, of course it would be better to have Charizard set up, but you couldn't do it on your second turn. Metrics shows clearly that Arcanine is much more successful deck in current tournament meta
Well, the keyword here is "setup". He is saying that if both are completely setup, he'd rather have Charizard, which is a no brainer because it has more hp and attack(I'm assuming he said something that I don't recall if he did mean what you said). Maybe a misspoken take by him, or my memory fails me. Either way not skimming through the 35 min video haha. If nothing indicated the difference, then yes his take is awful. Arcanine is performing pretty good surely, and it's solely due to the speed/pika ohko. Cheers!
We need new card sets! Im f2p but all im missing are cards from the pikachu pack. Idk, ig im just lucky to be pulling mewtwo ex and charizard ex in one day, but cant build a proper deck because i dont duplicates haha. I just want to complete the entire set first while i play the toxic sleep deck and lapras deck HAHAHHAHAHA
If you really want to play those decks while getting your second copies i suggest you replace the Ex you're missing with their baby version (same name card, 3 diamonds rarity) that way you can at least experience & learn those decks while waiting, i've seen some top players do that for some specific decks too (mainly a Blastoise deck) and they did well with it
did you not watch the video then? they showed off new cards with the next event, the jiggly and haunter we didnt have before, also they just talked a bit about the next set drop which we just dont have further infos yet tho. new mechanics? burn + confusion most likely added aswell as tools so idk what video you watched
I don't think so, the idea behind this was always to have it be seperate, probably might see some cards that change that Iike misty, Brock or Lt surge. But otherwise they have tcg live for the full system/game. Master duel and duel links for Yu-Gi-Oh is the same concept.
Welp it's a reduced and simpler system. It will never be as "complex" as real TCG, and part of it is the energy system. It's up to you to like it or not
@@samugames0 yeah it definitely is simpler, but I think that was the point. Quick and easy mobile version of the tcg, either way though they'll make crazy money from it 😂
Please don’t make every card so easy to access that’s the point of the trade system you want certain card to feeel rare to the point certain people can’t get them no more that’s the point

Is pocket gonna go from 20 card decks to 30 card decks? Because in deck builder there is 10 extra slots when you get to 20 cards.

The loading screen at the start doesn't have Fairy either so it would be quite a big change to add it.
During the Lapras event I could not get a Butterfree .. Not a single one smh
Tools may break this game, some of them in such a cut down format would be extremely OP like float stone
We will see, the deck only has 20 cards. Good balance with basics is important, Professor and pokeball are important for consistency and there is just not that much space and then we have to decide if we want to drop stuff like Sabrina and x speed which are also vital for almost any deck. I hope tools are well balanced
@@Ganking553 this has been one of my main concerns, i wonder if they plan on expanding the deck bc 20 just feels too small once they introduce other stuff present in the actual tcg as well as just additional mechanics in general since some cards are too important to not slot so "tech/niche" card picks are too restricted
We haven't even gotten many trainers or items yet, and the ones we have, have all been nerfed to fit this TCG format. It's unlikely to be OP.
@@vapecatto420Yeah, we dedibitely need ways to grab evolutions (+2 items per stage you want to find), some double energy effect to use for big energy mons (+2 trainers I would imagine) and then also just pokemon tools, too. Deckbuilding will be so tight, so fast.
@@Ganking553 you would think on paper, but say float stone it gives free retreat cost, so no more need for x speed as your already at zero. It will get tight when we get great and ultra balls, cause the search for stage one and two cards and that will be extremely valuable. This game mimics the x and y meta of the game almost perfectly too just look at those meta cards in that format those are the cards I think we likely get, and some of them are OP.
Dude Don't say Lapras event, I just got 1 Lapras ex -.-
one of my boys didnt pull one lapras ex from the event
Fossil protects Arcanine from sabrina
They could have easily just put a promo sign on the corner of the cards even if it’s the old art, for a company that’s making millions of dollars this is just lazy work lol
trading will fix that, no big deal 11:31
Hope this ages well.
I’ve been playing since launch and I still don’t have a gyrados
We need resistances
Sadly that just sounds like Pay2WonderPick Fire Mons
A lot of ppl tyrd to play Gyarados and its just Bad and Super slow without Misty Luck.
And Fire Decks are not really that good in the Meta to spend real money on Wonderpicks. Its nice to do every second day but nothing more.
I Was hoping for some actually "New" Cards like the Lapras EX (why not Onix EX now?) or the really good Mankey Promo card
For free 2 play dead Content after the good Lapras Event, really sad the game slows down that fast 😢
Right? I mean the wonder pick thing is ok I guess, but is it even reduced prices?(It's not looked back at the video) So, an ex being in there still make it 3. If you need a charmeleon like he said, but there's an ex in there, then to pick it would cost 3 instead of a charmeleon being in a 1 pick normally(maybe a 1 pick can still happen, and obviously a 3 pick can happen normally too, making this no different). Yeah idk, once again, kinda feels like bad design.
Been waiting for this
Who is audio listening? Do people have this on to go to sleep 😂
I’m just glad there are no battle passes. I refuse to play any game with that scummy feature!
I didnt get mankey card at all. Couldnt pull it
I have 7 full art gyarados and 0 regulars lmao
Ive heard that u can unlock MEW,…
It's a pincushion urchin
love the event, still need one arcanine ex. new art are amazing as well! i think the game wants to focus more on collection than competitive, which is good for the majority and the game long term.
They will lose so much money without a balance of both. It's bad design already. It's crazy how many cards there are, which sets contain certain cards, and how rng can have you pulling 6 Immersive cards, 2 alt arts, and a crown rare WEEKS before you get a playset of trainers lmfao. You shouldn't be having to spend pack points on commons, or even base rares after having 2000+ cards. The pack point(wannabe pity) system is just flat out bad. You either need more points per pack, the cards need to be a bit cheaper, or just not even offer the very top rarity of the cards in general. There's no realistic chance a completely f2p player is getting 2500 points before the new set(unless the sets last for several months each time), let alone numerous times to actually collect all the cards. That said, when the new set comes out you won't be pulling on these packs so your pack points that are saved are almost useless. You'll forever be behind which is exactly what they want. If you're spending hourglasses on old packs, you're not getting new cards. The only thing the game will have is long term. As in play for YEARS to never end up with all the cards anyway. So, real life all over again, except trading might really suck and be super limited, and you can't just go buy a Dragonite or w/e at the card shop for $10. It will cost you 150 points which is 30 packs. or roughly 2 weeks of daily packs. Idk about you, but doing that for 1 card that isn't even that rare, or good, is bad design.
Hope they'll increase the deck limit to 30 and give us a new game mode that requires you to have a 30-card deck
The "new mechanics" are not new we already knew about them simply from reading the tips in the game .... this felt like a bait and switch Dekks please do better.
I can’t take this serious with one half of the podcast being a pokemon moving its mouth
Newww stuff???
I have 2 immersive Charizard, 1 3d Charizard ex, 1 regular Charizard ex.. no Moltres ex.... Ugh
I’m in the same boat. I can’t pull Moltres ex to save my life. But I can pull almost every other ex.
@@LivingDeadDude exactlyyy
On one of my accounts I can't pull Charizard ex but have tons of Moltres ex 🤔
@@infamouselement8711 I have a bad feeling these ex cards won't be tradable either
I think Willow's take that when he have Arcanine set up he wish it would be Charizard is so bad. Charizard requires more cards, more turns and more energy, of course it would be better to have Charizard set up, but you couldn't do it on your second turn. Metrics shows clearly that Arcanine is much more successful deck in current tournament meta
Well, the keyword here is "setup". He is saying that if both are completely setup, he'd rather have Charizard, which is a no brainer because it has more hp and attack(I'm assuming he said something that I don't recall if he did mean what you said). Maybe a misspoken take by him, or my memory fails me. Either way not skimming through the 35 min video haha. If nothing indicated the difference, then yes his take is awful. Arcanine is performing pretty good surely, and it's solely due to the speed/pika ohko. Cheers!
This willow guy seems confident. What are his tournament finishes like?
A lot of opinion mixed in with news delivering.
Lots of dumb in your opinion. They're doing a podcast not a News broadcast
That's a podcast for ya lol. They linked the website if you just wanna read it.
They should just title this Pocket News for your happiness
Maybe next time don't watch someone else's channel and just read it directly, if you're inclined 😂😂😂😂
@samugames0 calm down dude, RUclipsrs appreciate feedback and I didn't mean anything super negative.
We need new card sets! Im f2p but all im missing are cards from the pikachu pack. Idk, ig im just lucky to be pulling mewtwo ex and charizard ex in one day, but cant build a proper deck because i dont duplicates haha. I just want to complete the entire set first while i play the toxic sleep deck and lapras deck HAHAHHAHAHA
We're confirmed to get a new pack before 2025, to your happiness
If you really want to play those decks while getting your second copies i suggest you replace the Ex you're missing with their baby version (same name card, 3 diamonds rarity) that way you can at least experience & learn those decks while waiting, i've seen some top players do that for some specific decks too (mainly a Blastoise deck) and they did well with it
thumbnail said new cards and mechanics you said nothing about either
Thank you for saving me 30 min!
did you not watch the video then? they showed off new cards with the next event, the jiggly and haunter we didnt have before, also they just talked a bit about the next set drop which we just dont have further infos yet tho. new mechanics? burn + confusion most likely added aswell as tools
so idk what video you watched
@@VladTsverov This isn't correct. Give it a watch for sure if you want the info.
did you watch the video with your eyes closed and ears shut?
This game will never reach its full potential with the separate energy deck system just my opinion on that.
I don't think so, the idea behind this was always to have it be seperate, probably might see some cards that change that Iike misty, Brock or Lt surge. But otherwise they have tcg live for the full system/game. Master duel and duel links for Yu-Gi-Oh is the same concept.
Welp it's a reduced and simpler system. It will never be as "complex" as real TCG, and part of it is the energy system. It's up to you to like it or not
@@samugames0 yeah it definitely is simpler, but I think that was the point. Quick and easy mobile version of the tcg, either way though they'll make crazy money from it 😂
@densetsushadow6119 Yeah, that's why I don't understand people who wanted TCG Live 2 with a different name, lmao
It’s literally one of the best parts of the game 💀 they can improve it but it’s way better then having them in your deck
Please don’t make every card so easy to access that’s the point of the trade system you want certain card to feeel rare to the point certain people can’t get them no more that’s the point
But that’s the thing it’s one ex and a handful of easier to get cards. One of the cards I can’t pull for some reason
Came here to comment I just opened my SECOND god pack
First one
Slowpoke, pinsir, Charizard crown, charizard crown, charizard 3 star
Second was
Erika, meowth, Blaine, charizard 3 star, charizard 2 star
🫡
