Now I'm torn on which set to pick first. I'll drop like $40 and the time things on one set and just use the free packs on the other set. I want the Infernape line but I also want the Darkrai EX

Some really fun stuff in here.

Pokemon Communication is a decent item card, I think its really going to help unbrick Stage 2 centric decks (even if the result is random)

Toxicroak seems fun if you like coin flips, with a full bench odds are good youre out damaging Pika EX

Lots of status setters here too. I think Magmortar is the first one to bring Burn into the mix. Wasnt expecting it and Electivire to be so similar to Melmetal but Im into it. Vire looks like a ton of fun to use, it can benefit from Surge (as Electabuzz) and Volkner and can still do chip damage prior to gaining four energy.

Lake Trio seems like a really unique premise too, with Azelf for chip, Uxie for building Mesprit, and Mesprit for a major damage nuke. Probably not gonna be meta, but looks fun.

Spiritomb gonna be a fun gimmick to use with Cyrus.

Darkrai EX is pure evil, doing free chip from the bench every time you play energy on it, and then spamming sleep status.

Disappointed theres only three Pokmon tools (was hoping for an Air Balloon equivalent) but Cape and Rocky Helmet are both great. Everyone is freaking out about stacking a Druddigon with one, but personally Id rather stick it on something that can threaten a 2ko into a 1ko thanks to the chip. Or is just an obnoxious wall like Exeggutor EX

Thats two different cards though. Darkrai EX has the energy ability, regular Darkrai has sleep.

Datamines show that a free distribution of 120 trade hourglasses and 500 trade tokens will happen. Thats helpful since right now trade tokens are really expensive. The date and time is 1738216800,1743055200 but I dont know how to convert that into real time.

Also on 1740664800,1745992800 theyll be giving everyone three Genetic Apex packs (one of each) where each pack is guaranteed to have a four-diamond or above.

That should work. How many do you need of a card before you can trade it? I'll have 2 Alakazam left after this current trade.

Its not based on how many cards you have left, you need their new trade currency. To trade 1 star cards you have to trash 4 4-diamond cards or higher. So we may need to wait to see if they ever give out trade currency with a future event.

Spicy, thanks! I just got enough currency for 1 star again, I'm not sure if you can do multiple trades at once but I'll let you know when I can trade.

The obvious solution is to increase the token payouts for burning cards, but even that doesnt really feel good.

If theres plentiful events that provide tokens you can amass and work towards over time to make, say, a rare trade every two weeks or so, that feels better to me. Make card burning the last resort option to get tokens in a hurry, instead of the only option. Heck, make earning tokens tied to battling with a daily challenge awarding tokens for participating in battles, and thatd go a long way plus push more engagement with battles in general.

It could also just be this is phase 1 of en****ification, which comes for all good apps in the end when theres profits to be made.

At tonights daily refresh (I think its Midnight central time, but check your local time zone)

First thing I want to shoot for is Weavile + Darkrai EXs, they look super fun to use and mesh together well

It's 400

For shits and giggles I went through my account to see theoretically how much I could trade if I wanted to engage with that shitshow of a system

I'm completely f2p and did the 2 week free trial of the pass

Currently sitting on 1140 pack hourglasses so definitely have not used anywhere near all the resources I could have up to this point

Have 940 pack points for Genetic Apex meaning 188 packs ripped, another 260 for Mythical Island so 52 packs ripped (+ the handful of free ones from missions that didn't give pack points)

Im at 214/226 diamond cards from Genetic Apex and 68/68 for Mythical Island

Im at 18/60 Star and Crown cards from Genetic Apex and 9/18 for Mythical Island

If I went through my collection and burned every single card the game would let me to earn trade points I would be able to trade for a whopping TWO whole EX's with just enough left over for ONE 3 Diamond trade

The stipulation that you need to trade cards of equal rarity and the fact that you cant even trade rarities above 1-star already essentially entirely prevents people from just being able to roll multiple f2p accounts and then conglomerate all the good cards onto one of them.

The ridiculous resource costs on top of all the restrictions (plus having no way to even indicate what card you want in a trade on the actual platform itself) just serves to make the system mostly unusable for large swathes of normal f2p people

I dont think Im gonna spend any cards to get the trade tokens, doesnt seem worth it to me. There are a few 1-2 diamond rarity cards I need and that will be the extent of what I use it for, unless we can get tokens for free at some point.

Think well see tokens for real money micro transactions at some point?

Its not about flair. Its that you have to trash your duplicates in order to trade your duplicates.

For example, you said you trashed your extra EX cards for tokens. Now you dont have any extra EX cards to trade to people.

With this system, the only people who can trade in any meaningful way are whales, and whales probably dont need to trade in the first place.

All I need are 3 diamond cards, unfortunately, and it looks like it costs 120 points to trade for one. Seeing as how it's offering me 25 points per 3 diamond card I scrap, I'm not feeling particularly motivated to trade right now. Still, I'll try to somewhat keep an eye on the topic to see what people are requesting, in case I have an abundance of a 1 or 2 diamond card.
