Attacks on Benched Pokemon not gaining Type bonuses is an odd one, as the game didn’t explain that during the tutorial.

Also, when I was experimenting with Grapploct, if I reduced a Pokemon to 0 HP, it counts as knobbling a Benched, not Active, Pokemon.

The first one comes from the full TCG, they didn’t change it for whatever reason. The tutorial is weird I found, teaches the basics then kinda lets you fend for yourself.

Interesting about Grapploct, wonder why on that.

My water deck is getting pretty nasty now.

I’ve three Arcticuno (two EX) and the capacity for two Greninja. Oh, and a Starmie EX.

Yet to have both Greninja out at the same time, but I’m getting one most games. As a rare sniping Pokemon, it’s definitely handy. Spesh when Arcticuno EX, fully energised, is hitting Benched for 10.

I don’t have any of those cards, except two Misty!

I got a Charizard EX today so if I luck out and get a second I can build that deck!

Mewtwo decks remain lazy and boring. I can beat them, but need to get clever. My opponent? Just needs to mill their deck.

Hopefully the next release will balance things out, or at least stop Mewtwo being so prevalent.

The charizard deck did just win a tournament, it eats up mewtwo, and does well into pika.
But I am really ready for new meta. Just for brain stimulation!

Can almost play my decks on autopilot now.

Just had an other run of duff hands, and Misty doing nothing.

Of particular frustration is when I’ve got quite a few evolutions in my hand, but the Basic Pokemon refuse to come out and play.

It is still fun though.

Poke ball basically a must play for that.

I’m trying to just play my wigglytuff deck, for fun! It’s rather random!

Oh sometimes my Pokeballs don’t even come up!

But made a new Electric deck, and I think it needs some refining. I’ve 2 Pikachu EX and two Zapdos EX, which pack a helluva punch. But, I need to rejig it as they’re energy intensive, and people can easily outpace me.

I’m now kind of tempted to try out a Sleepytime Snoozy Poison Deck. Maybe slip a Gengar in to prevent Trainer Cards being used, really annoy people.

And I just got a Mew.

Need to collect one of every Kanto Pokemon, but not one of each variant.

Do a sleepytime deck! Flip those coins.

I haven’t had any luck last day, and got distracted by Nikki game. So playing Pokémon in the morning lol.

But new deck maybe try dragonite again.

New draws available.

And if you thought Mewtwo was boring? If your opponent pulls out a Celebi? Just…..just give up. It’s no fun. At all.

Ohh no!

I did get a mew, that may serve as just making mewtwo deck slightly better

Finally the deck actually worked, when the game gave me more than one starting Basic Pokemon, and didn’t hide the filth right down the bottom of my deck.

It’s pretty easy to use when it does work. Spesh as Serpior is a passive boost, as in it just works. No need to tap it

Also? Now on a 14 game streak of Going First. Because that mechanic is clearly not working properly.

Random can be weird!

I am opening a lot of vaporion cards, I really should see if a good deck can be made.
Mostly only play a few games thanks to my other game objectives.

Need more time!
