How to build GOOD DECKS in Pokemon Pocket!

Just wanted to talk about some deck building concepts for Pokemon Pocket :)

[boezou]

The fossil cards have a really interesting effect on deck building — fossil being a trainer means it doesn’t count as an opening basic, so you can guarantee a given basic while still running another set of Pokemon. Although fossil not being searchable by pokeball is a big downside.

great to see solid deckbuilding principles explained! been seeing way too much vibes-only deckbuilding elsewhere

[popelipo]

I am surprised they didnt add rare candy into the game considering that card is like the only thing keeping stage 2 evos viable in the tcg

I just started and found this video really helpful, thanks :)

[BlekPowers]

Great video. I agree with the lower basic count being how the game should be played currently. Seen some other creators bashing the idea and coping with like 8 basics.

1-2-2 line works well for non carry pokemon. but if you are a non ex deck with two carrys in deck. you really need access to both of them.

[spartanw]

Would be awesome to see them implement a 1 EX card max limit to decks. The double Mewtwo EX deck is absolutely busted right now. Seeing 9 out of 10 decks use it is sad for the game.

[boezou]

Changed my m2 gard deck to 1-2-2 ralts line and gotta say, it does feel optimal right now. Every pokeball feels so good! Ralts is much bigger target when there’s only one of them in the deck but I largely have not found games going in the direction of early KOing of ralts.

I agree with almost everything you said in this video. But I also do think people are playing too few basics. Like, in the mewtwo gardi deck I'm playing Jynx instead of red card (cause red card sucks and is a trap) so that I'm not all in on mewtwo and have a finisher in case it goes down. In general there also aren't enough good trainer cards to justify 2 pokemon with a bunch of support.

Do you have any tips for building decks with incomplete beginner collections where you rarely have 2 of the better/ higher rarity cards?

[FXDE]

Hopefully they add some better deck searching later on to make more stage 2 Pokémon viable.

[indomietable]

I'm surprised pocket doesn't have minimum limit for monster card. I can do two zapdos only deck lol

[SpaceDProducer]

Exeggutor EX and Venisaur EX deck from spragels is doing me very well

How to build good decks: buy enough packs.

[firmmy]

for mewtwo deck for example, why do people still use 2 ralts in tournament if you say that having one basic prevo and 2 basic ex are better to start off faster? can anyone explain

[darkskyxgames]

Deckbuilding in this game is very easy compared to other cards games.
You put the staples, you think what the deck wants and put the best cards there. And most decks want 9-10 Pokemon. There are weird cases with Pokemon with passive effects where you can try to change the number of Pokemon. But that's all.
I'm a little sad that there are so many bad cards.

[matheus-santana]

So in my dragonite/weezing deck I should run 1 dratiny only just like 1 ralts too?

[DannyConcepts]

wait how did you make the show the display board on the left cycle through different cards i thought it can only hold 1 card

[mcgoo]

I didnt know that a chikorita could be so wise.

And i just hope i can have a little bit of fun before it all becomes meta decks and exploits. I guess its inevitable in every tcg, i dont know maybe theres still some fun to be had in MTGA with sealed formats but you usually have to farm tokens to access it.
