Hello everyone! Welcome to the r/PTCGP Trading Post!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN THE COMMENTS BELOW!!!

- Do not create individual trading posts! You will be temporarily/permanently banned for doing so. Keep all trading discussions in here to keep the subreddit from being flooded with trade requests!!

- Check out our new Sharing Hub for you to share 1-4 Diamond rarity cards with each other!

Additionally, you can find an alternative trading area in our Subreddit's Discord Server as we have a Trading Directory, Rarity specific channels, & a #Trading-Discussion channel set up for you all to participate it. Currently at 270K+ Users!

Some general information about trading to keep in mind:

- With the release of Mega Rising (B1), all expansion sets are now immediately tradeable going forward. There are no longer limitations on the newest set being tradeable.

- Trades can only be done between friends in-game.

- Trades can only be done with cards of the same rarity.

- You can only trade cards that have the rarity of 1-4 Diamonds, 1-2 Star, & 1-2 Shiny Star.
Everything else is not tradeable (Promos, 3 Stars, & Crown Rares).

- Trading will require you to use specific in-game consumable items (primarily ShineDust) to do so.

- Real World Trading is explicitly prohibited by both the game's ToS, and this subreddit's rules. You will be permanently banned if caught doing so.

If you require official Pokemon support help, please utilize the Send Game Support Ticket found on the sidebar to reach the official Pokemon support portal to create a ticket. Thank you.*

A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT TRADING HIGHER RARITY CARDS: With the initial release of Mega Rising, and it's attached update allowing higher rarity cards to be traded, you may run into users asking you to trade 2 or more cards to acquire their very sought after cards they possess, such as Professor's Research - Professor Oak.

We ask users to proceed with extreme caution when participating in these type of trades, or better yet, avoid them at all cost to mitigate the risks of getting scammed or ghosted after you trade the first initial card towards getting a higher rarity card. Always do 1 for 1 trades when possible. The moderators here will not handle trading disputes, or anything of that matter. It's up to you to be responsible for your own trades.

Deck Discussion Mega Garchomp ex Drop Event - Decks for Battle Tasks & Auto Battling - October 2026

Thumbnail
gallery
954 Upvotes

Another drop event! Here's a quick explanation of the decks:

For Battle Task Completion :

  1. Rayquaza + Gouging Fire: Pretty much the best Dragon-deck out there and somehow it satisfies all (or most) of the battle tasks. No contest.

For Auto Battling on Expert :

  1. 18T Hoopa ex: Meowth cannot be annoying enough. Hoopa snipe bench effectively and the Cyrus-es and the Sabrinas are for sniping. A bit of gamble if Mega Garchomp online fast, but it's a pretty fast deck with just 2 Basics.
  2. Galarian Obstagoon: A good non-ex options for bench sniping! Penny is pretty much Prof Research as that's the only Supporter the opponent has.
  3. Sawk + Mega Lucario: Sawk pretty much ignores Meowth. The decks works fine but sometimes when Meowth is not the main threat, it can be a bit of a gamble with M.Lucario there.

For this post, you can save the image of the infographics itself and use the "Scan Saved Image" feature! No need to crop the QR Code.

(PS: The decks here are just one man's opinion with a very limited time (and currently on a business trip, waiting for flight back home, so cannot write and test much). There might be better decks out there that I hadn't thought of.)

Suggestion Promo Event - Annoyed by Meowth? Ignore it entirely!

Thumbnail

81 Upvotes

From the +/- 15 matches I've done to complete the challenges, the CPU will always try to get meowth in active ASAP. With the odds semi rigged for the expert battle, those heads flips stall long enough for garchomp to sweep. After completing the first few challenges that required specific cards, I first tried hoopa ex to bench snipe and cyrus but the CPU always evolved before I could KO the basic, nearly lost every single time I tried Hoopa.

I then went to meowscarada meta deck to ignore the near invincible meowth all together, but then it started me with ogrepawn 5 times in a row so that homey got removed since it served no purpose in this match anyway. Haven't lost a single match since. Meowscarada being able to target empty bench slots is much better than hoopa, plus it doesnt trigger the coin flip every attack so saves some time.

CPU fills the bench left to right, so you can easily predict where their dratini or gibble is going to be placed. If they manage to get a dragonair before you can snipe the dratini, no problem just ignore it, wiping the gibbles and 2nd dratini is more important. I was literally targeting empty bench spots and the CPU still drops the basic, even if it means I get a third point to win.

Oddly enough if the CPU does high roll and gets mega chomp down early, it just let me snipe it to death. I mostly still try to just wipe the 2nd gibble and dratinis to prevent the CPU from having their energy to attack more than once every 2 turns, but I was very surprised the one game I decided to evolve a bench non-ex meowscarada to revenge KO the mega chomp, it just let me snipe it to death while building the non-ex chomp on its own bench.

Meow EX + heals + leaf cape is most likely living 2 hits from non-ex chomp, so again you can just ignore that entirely and keep sniping the benched dratini, dragonair, or gibble. That meowth can suck a fat one, go ahead keep drawing more cards idgaf cuz im KO your bench the second you drop it.

For this new event the expert battle is easy enough it just takes forever when meowth constantly rolls heads everytime. I didn’t screenshot my draw game but I got this at turn 29. It’s just such a time waster

Discussion Why is this game so clunky

259 Upvotes

Been playing now for about a month and I’m genuinely considering quitting purely because of the clunkiness of everything. Playing on an iPhone 16 pro with 60fps and med quality so everything should run as smooth as. Instead, the game has long loading times in between interfaces and just in general compared with other games it feels like I’m playing on an iPhone 11 with zero storage left.

Wtf?

Just got to masterball using a not conventional deck, not the best stats but it was fun.

The core idea is to get two Aegislash online as fast as possible to allow Togedemaru to do 180 total damages.

(100% win rate against Mega Blaziken btw)

Discussion Why the hate on Mega Garchomp?

32 Upvotes

Comparing to Mega Rayquaza:

- 220 HP means it is outside of Lucarios OHKO (basic Lucario + Arena of Antiquity + Korrina = 210 damage)
- 190 damage means it will OHKO Mega Lucario and other Megas. You can even swap it in to the active before Mega Lucario to knock out a pokemon unless Lucario has a cape
- 3 energy compared to 4 on Rayquaza (190 compared to 200 damage) but in order to do another strong attack you need both Dragonairs compared to only one for Garchomp
- Garchomp takes more effort to build than Rayquaza but together with Drampas you can usually stall long enough to build him on the bench. Of course this is it’s main weakness since your deck will brick sometimes
- Stalling until you get Garchomp online will always put you at the risk of a Sabrina when you lost two point before you could build it since you can’t use it without at least one Dragonair on the bench
- One of Rayquazas biggest advantage is that you can pair it with Gouging Fire. Otherwise Rayquaza would be the worse card in my opinion

All in all I want to say it is definitely one of the better promo cards.

Immediately after reading about the new maximum of 36 bonus points for a 10-streak victory, and saying yeah, sure, cool and all, but when am I actually going to get one, I immediately proceeded to get one. Won so fast that I got into Masters by the 7th or 8th win in less than an hour, and got the other ones afterwards. Very cool!

The drop events are notorious for giving me suspiciously bad luck, but this was intermediate. Why am I already suffering? Lol I can't win by turn 14, if I don't get an electric energy until 15!

Meme Bullcrap Tyrantrum deck. Why?

• Upvotes

Tyrantrum is ROCK. DRAGON. ROCK DRAGON TYPE rocks are old dragons are old. which means TYRANTRUM IS OLDAND IS A OSSIL WHICH MEAN IT DIED AND THEN CAME BACK TO LIFE AND THATS A WARNING OF WHAT THEU NIVERSE IS GONNA DO ON AUGUST TWELVE TWENTY THIRTY SIX. the univers will be FOSSILEZED at AUGUST TWELVE twenty THIRTY SIX

did you know???? tyrantrum evolves from tyrunt at level 39???? Whats 3+9???? 12!!! Whats 39 minus its third digit??? 36??? whats the first digit of 12??? 2!!! do you see what i mean it all adds up its august 12 2036 tyrantrum is august 12 2036 the heat death of the universe

Think. Tyrantrum has big jaw. Big jaw means big energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. When Tyrantrum bites something, the energy transfers into the bit the into tbject, then air then cloud then to the moon and the tides which causes the tides to move which causes the atmosphere to shift in ozone and when the ozone shifts a man turns his fishing rod to one side and when the fishing rod turns to one side the waters shift within the tides which causes the moon to move again and then sun goes west

AND YOU KNOW WHAT IS WEST
THE SUN SETS TO THE WEST
tyrantrums sets the SUN to the WEST

TYRANTRUM IS THE HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE

I know, it's a kid's game. I know shouldn't take it so seriously, shouldn't get frustrated when the game becomes just a coin flip. I know. I know.

However, I really hate sleep scam decks. If people have the right to play it, I have the right to slow roll.

Again, I know this is petty and dumb.
