I’ll repost here lol
What would one be getting themselves into, if they were to get into Pokemon TCG?
I thought of trying that myself for Wi-Fi, but that Rock type and its relatively low speed is very discouraging.
I’d prefer just putting a scarf on it and Head Smash stuff into Bolivia.
Rotation’s in a month. Relatively easy game and inexpensive unless you want a playset of Shaymins.
Grinded…a month’s worth of Versus Rewards in 4 days. So…many…Shaymins…
How many you get?
Zero. I meant I ran into a Shaymin every goddamn match. I didn’t pull a single goddamn Shaymin. All I pulled was Dragon Mega Ray and Latios EX.
I personally used lum berry DDance set to some success I think it is better than the scarf set personally because after the speed boost and atk boost nothing wants to fight it. Especially with sticky web support
Choice Band Rock Head is the way to go. Breaking down walls for a sweeper late game. You could pair it with Tailwind support but that’s “too hard” imo. Unless you run a rock polish set and try to sweep late game once everything is weakened
So we got a Gengar that auto kills anything touched by a Crobat.
And a Special Fire energy that reloads any time you toss it for an attack.
Good day.
OK so after a year I’ve finally been able to play my XY again. I plan to get ORAS soon but I don’t know if I will have the time to grind like I used to. My teams are laughably ancient, so would it be possible get some Pokémon from you guys? Even some imperfect throwaways will be a good start.
Are folks still being generous on Wonder Trade?
You can always get lucky on Wonder Trade.
Depends on when you go on Wonder Trade. Don’t go on during evenings.
what are you looking for? not much changed in terms of obtainable pokemon from XY to ORAS except for a few megas (beedrill, pidgeot come to mind). But I could hook you up with some stuff. Like to be honest, the competitive scene in wifi is like hmm the old 1250-1500 equivalent on PS ladder so I’ve found that even with some outdated stuff you are still good. Unless you face someone actually competent then you’ll have to adapt to other threats like M-Sableye or M-Diancie (rock polish crushes most HO).
Most important thing would be to finish your game so you’ll get access to move tutors. You’ll need those even for old pokes
Do Wonder Trades on Wednesdays… That’s when the redditors and streamers like to give out good WT pokes.
And yes, avoid evenings… You want late night/early morning(when other countries are more active, because the US is full of greedy idiots)… that’s when most of the good stuff is being given out.
Thanks for the advice guys. Glad to see that Wonder Trade is still good.
Chansey and Icicle Crash Weavile for starters.
How easy is it to get viable Legends and psuedo-Legends like Zapdos and Heatran? Or is it better to soft reset ingame?
if you want pentagon legends it’s kinda hard to get legit stuff… If you SR yourself it might take a couple of months depending on ur standards.
Shiftry is bonkers, i built the deck, and its an easy way to grind the Vs ladder!!!
After you told me about Giratina/Vileplume, i went on and built the deck. Its to incosistent, it might be my build. I just cant seem to win with the deck…
I know Shiftry is bonkers…they really need to do something about that crap. It’s the epitome of non-interaction.
And Giratina/Vileplume isn’t easy to win with honestly. If you get rolling early you steamroll but it’s tough. I’ve also seen Giratina decks forego the Vileplume for more straight Dragon support.
Oh, and do you have any of the Flashfire Shiftry stuff?
Nah bro sorry, dont have any of those
It’s cool. Luckily, one more Strong Energy and I can switch to buying Flashfire stuff. Especially with the reveal of Burning Energy.
