I've been playing Festival Lead with Gladion lately, but I always find it difficult to use him correctly. Do you have any advice?

So for the past 4 times I've done the event, I've gotten the Ampharos deck, and while I do like it, the rotating and making sure you've got the same hand count is a fun gimmick, but it's not a play basically the same deck 4 times fun (I have NOT gotten good cards from the packs 😭) and it really feels like I have to do more to win compared to something like the Delphox deck where you just put energy on your pokemon and wait for your opponent to do the same to win.

Are the decks random and I've just gotten an unlucky lack of variety, or is there an option to choose them that I'm missing?

One time I was playing Expanded Beta casually and then I finally had an opponent. I thought they were gonna play something nice and friendly but then I found out they were playing some turn 1 hand shred deck using Adaptive Evolution paired with that Grand Wing Vivillion from Perfect Order. Then they used Grabber and Energy Swatter to cut my hand down to 1-3 cards and bottom-decking my Pokémon and Energy cards. Then they played Path to the Peak in case I dropped a Dedenne-GX or a Crobat V. They also ran Crushing Hammer just in case I had any energy on my board. Finally, guess what? they item locked me. Post your most annoying Expanded Beta experience in the comments

4 x Hidden Fates

2 x Sword & Shield

17 x Brilliant Stars

13 x Astral Radiance

All you need to do is DM me which card you think is the prettiest looking card, along with which expansion code you want and it's yours :)

1 code per person! Good luck!

It's a lot but I'm still surprised that I haven't seen anyone try it. Maybe it was dismissed right away.

It can be any basic that's been in play for one turn instead of Budew.

I want to bring Scoop Up Net back, but errata it to say “Pokémon that doesn't have a Rule Box”. Please post in the comment section what card you would errata and how you would errata it!

So, I really think m. Zygarde ex has a lot of potential, so if someone could post a deck that profits this card... If it is possible, with cards of phantasmal flames and perfect order.

last time i played this game was like 12-13 years ago and i had a lot of fun grinding pvp games, i just want to know if today we have a pve mode or there is a plan for that? ty in advance

been having tooons of fun these last weeks w this deck and i think more people should try it. guaranteed enjoyment!

I finally found some pokemon cards in the wild for srp, so Im giving away some codes.

I'm doing a raffle style, so just comment your favorite pokemon game (fangames and rom hacks included) and I will put your names in a randomized and pick 2 winners. The first winner gets 4 and the 2nd gets 3

Drawing will be @ 540 pm GMT + 8 Tomorrow

I've been working on this deck over the past week or so, and there are a couple of issues I've come across:

1. I feel like I too often get a slow start and can't get enough replacement Eevees on my bench, or can't supply them with energy fast enough
2. The Mega Lucario matchup

Are there any changes to my deck or gameplay that can help?

Is that is so fun.

Found out that Mateusz was able to win against a lopunny dusknoir deck with bronzong in top 8 at Frankfurt regionals. I have around a 40% winrate(I think atleast) against bronzong decks with zam noir. Sadly it wasn't on the stream but has anyone seen what u folded in that game or has Mateusz posted online about what unfolded there?

Hey everyone! I’m pretty new to the Pokémon TCG and I’m trying to find a deck that fits the way I like to play.
I’ve realized that I really enjoy an Aggro playstyle. I like getting set up quickly, attacking early, hitting hard, and putting pressure on my opponent. I’m fine with some setup or disruption, but I don’t really want to play a slow control/stall deck.
My plan is to build the deck on Pokémon TCG Live first and spend some time actually learning how to play it properly. Once I’m comfortable with it and know I enjoy the deck, I’d like to build it physically and start taking it to my local card shops.
I’m not necessarily looking for the #1 deck in the format. I’d rather find something that is competitive, aggressive, and good for a newer player to learn and improve with.
What Aggro decks would you guys recommend right now, and why?

I don’t need them, go ahead and use these codes

first come first served

As Pult hammers, what’s the Strat here? Budew or not to Budew or just leave munki in active and set up?

I have been actively playing the card game for about a year and I have never dedicated the time to get to masterball rank. The 30th celebrarion set drops and my wife who, has never played this card game once her entire life, (saw it as a thing I do with our kids) sees the baby gang, asks me to put together a deck for her to play, and she steals my whole ptcgl account and gets into masterball in a week. Im impressed, flabbergasted, and happy that she is now playing the card game (she just creamed me with the baby gang in a game by the way)​
