Discussion Call for family and free retreat. Could be alright in a world without buddy-buddy poffin and less bench hitters…….

Post image
64 Upvotes

I was just looking through the Pokemon that have the call for family attack and I ran across this little guy. I understand why it isn’t being played this block with buddy-buddy existing and dragapault, well being dragapault. Without these gatekeepers, I could see a world where a “pivot” that can set up your board with a colorless attack would be pretty good.

That’s all,
Thanks for reading.

Everyone Please help feedback.

Build & Battle mode reset free token by 24 hour ago, where u click start or when u finished it 24 hour ago. Sometime i missing it because finish it at last 30 minute before 1600 UTC

However it can be easily fixed by giving temporary token on 1600 UTC

Rant Oh okay

• Upvotes

I’ve tried all the decks I know how to play in online tournaments. I’ve done horribly in all of them. I thought the deck was the problem. I think it’s just me lol

I’ve tried Dragapult, slowking, Crustle, Tr mewtwo, Erika’s victreebel, and baby box. All different types of decks. All shit for me.

About to just go back to casual where I belong 🤣

At one point it wouldn't even let me play cards, it would just run the timer and go to the opponents turn. From the logs it looks like they were playing just fine.

After sharpedo’s recent success at Louisville, been a real treat to match into a few more dark decks than usual.

Deck has pretty much remained the same 60 since first hitting MB aside from a 2nd night stretcher I removed in place of Shaymin (bit of slowking started popping up at 1600+)

Sharing my list for all my fleaders out there who might be struggling to find a consistent list, hope this can provide some inspiration!

Alright shark heads, what are our main strats against those dreaded grass decks and teal masks at the moment

Clutch stall and munki?

Judge and watchtower?

Pray they whiff?

I love playing this deck, but with a lot of grass mons and decks running around I’m hoping we can band together to combat the weeds!

Discussion Salvatore ruling (again)

36 Upvotes

In order to play Salvatore you must have a valid target both on your field and in the standard format. This is not the same as other pokemon searches (Spikemuth, Poffin, etc because those Pokemon exist in the format)

You cannot play Salvatore if your bench consists of a Solrock, Lunatone, and a Makuhita because:

There is no evolution of the Pokemon on your board with no ability in standard format.

Can’t search for Lucario without a Riolu.

Discussion Pult vs HnS

4 Upvotes

Hey y'all! Ever since Louisville and Rahul's fantastic top 4 finish with HnS Dhelmise + Clefairy, I have seen a RAMPANT increase in HnS players on ladder. I typically play pult (hate me now if you want) and have struggled into the late game with most of my matches ending with HnS finding clefairy + energy off of stamp/judge. They typically go first (correct option for them) and I'm stuck going through 2 budew for a 1-1-2-2 prize map.

-Munki confusion stall doesn't work now because they have started including latias, and my energy gets comitted in the wrong places when they put it down.

-I am all but required to go through 2 budew in hopes that they can't get 4 HnS pokemon in discard by the time I need to start phantom diving with stamp/judge to go with

-Energy commitments get really tough throughout the course of the game with them chewing through 1 pult, and having to retreat to 1st and 2nd budew. Rosa becomes an absolutely fantastic supporter in the early-mid game to cheat a 3rd energy on the board, but becomes a stale supporter in the late game because I feel obligated to boss k/o clefairy + dhelmise/other liability.

-Using fez as an attacker stretches the energy quite a bit, with having to commit one for a potential boss + punch with dhelmise, or a crispin with no boss for a trap idea (which also relies on no latias, or banette being in play).

This matchup feels so tough. Ended my run in Louisville because I had no idea what to expect from newer lists and played it all wrong. Last couple have run better but still lose to them finding clefairy + energy for their last 2 prizes, and can't find a way to force a turn off for them.

Any advice is appreciated! I'm excited to grind this matchup and see if I can swing it to a 60/40 (their favor).

Everyone plays pult. I’m tired of playing mirror matches against people who are much better. I know it’s a game and the point is to have fun but DAMN a win every once in a while would be nice.

I've been playing since last rotation and this is the first time something like this happens. I do not understand how stuff like this CAN even happen, my opponent got to use their cards normally but I was stuck unable to click on anything. Thankfully it seems pretty rare but what can I do to avoid having to concede if this happens again?

Question Collecting SM Cards: Celebrations vs Opening Packs

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm working towards the process of having a full collection of every set and next up in going to be moving on to Sun/Moon. Now I know Celebrations is generally the best Value of converting Trainer Points to Trade Credits. I have a fully maxed out Celebrations collection (4x every card). However there's just a lot more intrinsic value if the packs you'll be opening are exclusively new cards. As my collection has next to no SM cards currently, I suspect it may be worthwhile to open some amount of packs with Points before crafting the rest with trade credits.

Has there been any math done on the value there?

Thanks!

The idea I have is using Dudunsparce as a draw engine so I can hopefully leave nothing but Tyranitar on the the field so my opponent can't boss it out of active. The shaymin is for slowking but thinking about it more if I get set up and hit a crushing hammer I probably don't have to worry about that. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
