Up a little early since I might be out this afternoon and dont want to miss posting the new one before the other hits 500.

And just before the new year! Possible NYE event, a new solo event, win streak event for season 2, and the third expansion late next month. A good time to be card gaming!

I don't really care about any of the legendary dogs, but I guess I like Entei more because of his name, but I can't say why exactly because it would be considered hornyposting

The Aerodactyl/Primeape deck is definitely legit.
1 retreat cost for all pokemon is amazing. When you have a field of Primeape, Aerodactyl, Marshadow and Hitmonlee all sitting on 1 energy... your opponent's chances of winning are almost next to none. So many ways you can mess up your opponent's strategy and force them on the defensive.

Weekly meta snapshot! Top tier remains the same then some moved up, others down.

This is the "Tauros" deck in A tier, it's really a mixed bag of stuff.

No fucking way Alakazam is bottom tier. I've been smoking people with that deck. Unless it's some jank build theyre accounting for

It has absolutely abysmal tourney results which this is based, around a 36% win rate. Basically the B tier is hitting right below 50% while A tier is just above 50%. S tier is what has most wins and top 8s and such. Even though M2 should technically be in B tier, it gets results in tourneys.

Which Gyarados EX deck is winning most consistently? Still the Greninja/Druddigon variant?

I honestly think the Gyardos 5 fossil deck is better. Getting Gyarados out as fast as possible with 4 energies beats the grind with druddigon

By far, the other flavors are still good but around 50%, the S tier deck is at 55%.

Also Pikachu ex is at 53% with both zebras or Raichu, both strong and viable ways to play.

I did some reading and it looks like the Tauros deck centers around Druddigon, either running fire-water energy to let Drudd attack with a Greninja support, or all water energy and relying on the usual passive Drudd walling. Mew is kind of a weird choice, but I guess it takes hits and/or flexes into using Genome Hacking for certain matchups. Seems interesting.

Havent had a good pull in a while but I managed to get this cool Dedenne. Almost makes up for getting Lt. Surge almost every single Rare Pick.

Heck yeah, just got this with a Wonder Pick after having an otherwise pretty unlucky week so far. The only card I'm missing from the expansion (not including full arts and the like) is now just... Mew. Not even the EX version, just the regular one. Part of me is tempted to use 150 points to grab it, but I'd probably be better off saving them to get a full art I like (such as another Serperior). Then again, I'm only at 310 points and I don't know if I would ever continue opening these packs at this point, especially to the point where I'd earn enough to reach 400. What do you think?

If you're patient enough, waiting for trading is your best bet to see how the system works. Then you can make a decision after that.

I just got my 68/68! Last card was Pidgeot EX from a wonder pick.
We're a forest of lives, but we grow tall and wide.
We'll never be cut down.
Reminder the shop resets tomorrow, so spend those tickets if you got em and haven't bought all the monthlies yet. Also new missions and goodies for premium players!

That's a good point, and one I always forget until I pull my 3rd copy of something rare and try to cope by telling myself I can probably trade it away later. Also, congrats - I read that you get a Mew icon for completing the new dex, at least, but that's it, right?
Yep, got the Mew icon which was it I believe but still cool! The only reason I was still pulling packs was because I was close to finishing the "pull 60 mew packs" mission thing so I figured might as well keep going. My last 5 packs or so I got like 5 new pokemon which was lucky.

I still need 3 ex cards to get 68/68. Aerodactyl, Gyarados, and Mew. Note that I have all the rarer Mew ex cards, including the crown rarity, but they don't count apparently. I'm just missing the regular ex one.

My Wonder Pick luck is on point today. Since there's really nothing else I want to exchange my pack points for that doesn't cost 500+ points now, I went ahead and spent 150 of my 310 to get a Mew and finish my dex. I could stand to have a second copy of some of the EX cards, but I'll just opt to use Wonder Pick for them and use my free pulls on the older packs. Time to save my hourglasses for the next update.
Holy shit, it finally happened, I got a GOD PACK

The tier list throws me off specifically Articuno and Starmie decks. I'm not seeing how they're in the same tier as Blastoise and Venasaur and Blaine feels like it should be higher as well

They're just faster than those decks, the win condition is killing your setup before it gets going

that being said, gyarados EX seems like the strongest overall deck in the game by a large margin

It's all about consistency, and those decks have just fallen behind.

Finally, new cards. Two in one pack as well. Got a CelebiEX and foil Mew from Island pack. Too bad they're not in my native language.

Now 65/68. Still missing Volcarona, AerodactylEX, PideotEX, and a few of the full art cards. I wonder if it's worth it to keep trying for another Celebi/missing cards or go back to Apex to fill similarly missing EXs or foils.

Wait, did I miss a Promo event? I got the cards for a Lapras event and some cards from a Blastoise event, but apparently there was one in between that I missed? There's this huge game of Promo cards in my binder lol

Maybe it was the Venosaur event?
.....there was a venusaur event? Whoops.

Anyone know if they'll rerun events in the future or am I just fucked? >_>

Probably fucked but also theres supposed to be trading sometime this month so not entirely fucked.
Sig
The only majorly useful promo from that event was Jigglypuff anyway (one energy sleep) and even then Wiggly EX is already being power crept out of the meta. Well, that and an easier way to farm Greninja

As for this promo list, I guess one-energy attack Snivy is alright, but not anything super impressive.

Ended up using all my shop tickets to buy all the available pack hourglass and now I'm sitting at 298. Gonna keep farming them for the next pack that supposed to release this month.

Got all the promo cards including 4 taking a dump Blastoise. Pikachu ex made quick work of it all, only have to wait to finish 7 battles to complete it. I used Surge rental for the 3 diamond challenges.

The one at the end of the month is a whole new set with 3 packs. I have over 100 saved up and will keep saving too. I also have a few packs worth of gold built up.

My joy at wonder picking a second copy of the full art Serperior just yesterday was kinda squashed a bit when I pulled a third one from one of the free packs they gave us for this New Year's event. I also pulled what's now my fourth copy of Mew EX, but it would've been even funnier if it was the regular Mew card that I just spent 150 pack points to get. I just now got one copy of each of the five promo cards before getting any dupes, too, so that's kinda nice.

Now, my only complaint is that I have to pull five Mew packs if I want to complete the mission that gives out 12 pack hourglasses (plus there's 12 wonder pick hourglasses for finishing all of the NY missions, now that I look), but I don't really want to pull from that pool any more and the free packs they give us don't count towards the total. Then again, it's not like I'm having any better luck pulling from the old packs, either, so it probably won't hurt me too much to use my free daily pulls towards it.
Yeah, that Blastoise art looks so weird lol. What is he doing there?
