Hello, I have been away from the game since the 1st of the year. I am finally at a place in my life again where I can start competing again. I will mainly be focusing on the online game for now since the competitions in my local area few and far between. I was given a gift of 31 online codes...

Hello all. I figured I would take advantage of having a whole year ahead of me and start my daily avatar project. The idea behind it is simple. Start with Bulbasaur as my avatar on January 1st and move through the pokedex every day. So by December 31st of this year we should be on pokemon number...

So I don't mean to sound elitist or stuck up with this post. I was just curious if I am the only one who thinks their should be SOME barrier of entry into expert games online. As of now you never really know the skill level of your opponent going into an expert match. Makes it seem less...

there are three useful stadiums being released in the next few sets. Skyarrow bridge to assist retreat of basics, pokemon center to heal benched pokemon and twisted mountain to speed up fossils. Porygon 2 allows you to search your deck for one stadium card and put it in your hand upon evolving...

I think I might spend too much time playing this game :< Were you pretty excited when you got the 1000 KO achievement?

So in our next set there is a card being released called EXP share. It is a tool that allows you to swap a basic energy from your active pokemon to a benched pokemon with the tool attached upon the active being knocked out. You then discard the tool. I have heard literally zero mention of any...

I have been noticing a trend lately with the PTCGO. If I start gaining a noticable lead in the game roughly 60% of my opponents have been conceding. I am a big believer in sticking with your deck when the chips are down because THAT is when you learn exactly how flexible and strong it can be. It...

Hello, I am a player from Wisconsin. Due to our extremely low number of city championships I have now starting preparing my schedule for states in March. Due to where I live, the Wisconsin state championships will be held 4.5 hours drive one way from my house. Therefore I have elected to...

In the pokemon stadium games you have the choice to use your own raised pokemon or "Rent" the game's pokemon for the duration of the Cup. I believe it would be a terrific idea if the same could apply to novice games in the PTCGO. Allow for players to use any legal card available in matches that...

I started playing a couple of Skarmory cards in my Cobalion attack lock today. I include 4 special metals in my deck. I am not sure at all if I can grab special metals from the attack. Here is the exact reading of the attack: Search your deck for a metal energy card and attach it to one of your...

My girlfriend recently started playing the game after months of me trying to encourage her to pick it up. I thought it would be alot of fun playing her, but I am finding it hard finding a balance. I normally play intense and 100% to win, but playing my gf is different. She is still learning the...

I am playing a cobalion + vilaplume deck wedensday at cities. For exact deck specs you can look in the deck help forum. Lets say i get a fully powered cobalion and vilaplume set up. what are your strategies to beat me? I am interested in the opponent's mindset just as much as my own!

I feel like this deck isn't going to move fast enough to do what it needs to. Can you guys give me some feedsback and advice? Thanks! 3x Cobalion 3-2-2 Vilaplume line 3-2-3 Vanilluxe line 3-2 Beartic line 2-2-2 Reinucleus line 1 fliptini 30 Pokemon 3 Interview questions 3 Pokemon...

i have a fun/annoying deck idea for when dark rush is released. was curious on this ruling and if you guys think my idea will be tried alot.carnivine from darkrush allows you to return the defending pokemon to your op:onents hand. how priceless would this be to combo with seeker on an opponent...

I was just curious if a rare candy from a world's championship deck set would be legal in official tournament play? This is of course assuming it is sleeved with no way to glance at the back of the card.

I played a city championships today and my record was... poor to say the least. We went six rounds. Of the matches I lost , three were pretty much decided by me correcting my opponent on errors they commited in my favor or me not taking advantage of a short attention span. Here are my three...

Hello, I just failed the professor exam for the third time. Each time I have never gotten more than 11 wrong. I tend to be missing the really obscure questions or ones regarding tournament structure and ethics. I was just wondering where the best places to go to study for any possible...

I will be the first to admit I make a far better winner than loser. Even though I learn something from every defeat I still have been known to take being beaten pretty bad. It makes that next victory all the sweeter though I suppose. I also know guys that I will try my hardest to beat just...

I have been surprised at the lack of deck lists that have considered running triumphant Magmortar using the top burner attack. For every fire energy attached to Magmortar you can discard a card from the top of your opponent's deck. If tails you have to discard all energy attached to Magmortar...

Dodrio's pokebody reads "As long as Dodrio is on your bench, your active pokemon's retreat cost is two colorless less."If I were two get two Dodrio sitting on my bench would the cost be 4 less?
