I know the pain of getting so many full art vaporeons i got 4 days and about 40 packs b4 I got a 1 normal vaporeon I managed to get tye gold full art charzard but other common cards I've been opening the old packs still trying to get a full 100% card decks and some mew packs but I can go as far to say I got the full art celbi ex the one where you get sucked into the card b4 I got the normal volcorna 😅 cards I need that aren't super rare i can't pull to save my live but games like here have cards that are better and easly more rare
I have 10 meta decks and 5 just for fun decks ,and yeah constantly deleting decks and making new ones is super annoying especially if you flair your cards. Personally I think the limit needs to be removed or we need 50 when we get the next pack
Probably you will never get all cards, but thats the purpose of collection Games, If you have every Card and so, you will probably Stop playing because you finished the Game, and i think it is great that way
I wish full arts wouldn't be counted against you for challenges in battles, cause for a couple decks I only have the full Art version of a card(non-ex).
That's actually a fun problem to work around, imo. I'm more upset they don't count towards completing your collection. I have all the fancy Celebis and no regular Celebi EX and it's the only card I'm "missing" from Mythical Islands
Trading is gonna be pretty pointless it's really easy to get a hold of cards even my f2p cheap ass is only missing a few cards and I started a month after launch I think
@@davidshort2818 It’ll be useful for anyone who still wants or needs cards from genetic apex. Especially for people who will miss genetic apex completely.
Oh it might get a lot worse. Currently there are few cards that can paralyze or sleep, and most of them have no meta relevance. And the confusion status isn't even in the game yet. That might change in the future tho, not sure if they intend to add the burn and confusion status effect
@@LeeterthanthouI don't know a single meta relevant deck that's actually successful and relying on coin flips. The main TCG also atm has hardly any meta cards with flips being used aside from exactly Pokemon Catcher, which usually people just use Counter Catcher instead of.
@@Leeterthanthou balancing a game around coinflips is pretty rough though. It overall leaves a slightly negative feeling in players most of the time when they feel like they just lost to bad rng
Remember that Gardevoir and Mewtwo also have icon achievements tied to them from Genetic Apex, so you’ll get good odds of getting those if you don’t have them already from the psychic mass outbreak
That was exactly my thought. I don't have either icon and I'm sitting on 6 Mew EX, so I might be willing to try that Wonder Pick until I complete the Themed Collections and might even get the limited time flair.
Ive opened so many mewtwo packs trying to get 5 normal mewtwo and gardevoir for the challenge and only got 1. Now they have this event. Thank goodness, hopefully i can get them all without needing packs!
Yeah Mewtwo EX is the only major meta deck I don't have cards for (especially Gardevoir, wtf) so I've been hating that deck even more than most people. Glad to see they're creating opportunities for us.
I didn't get a crown rare even with one big pack purchase until a couple days ago and I've had the premium pass for months too. I'm just sad it wasn't crown mew since I already had all the cards from miniset except for some 2* and crown rares and I never got a 3 diamond marshadow, but that's meaningless when I opened many 1* versions.
Game could really benefit from ranked. That way if you want to play your less than top tier meta deck you can and get put into players that also have less than meta decks and still have a decent time.
@@alex62965 yeah but if you build a smart deck you can fly through most of it easily, I had this recent one done and 14/20 of the final one in just over a day It's great just maybe a daily or few weekly challenges that are abit harder, force players to use certain types or not use cards I dno. Just something on repeat I can do in-between you know ?
Ya the thing I don't like about drop events is: getting event currency as a reward, multiple times, after no longer having any reason to use it because you already got all the event related rewards for the currency. Once players get all the event related rewards that tie to event currency, players should be rewarded the other items in the event that arnt event currency. There's no reason to reward players with extra event currency if that currency isn't gonna be turned into some other common currency after the event is over. Lots of games actually do that, exchange extra event currency for common currency once a games event ends. Maybe they should that to. Instead of just giving us extra eve t currency with nothing to use it on..
@AlexsGoogleAccount see iv been keeping track too. an every drop event we've had has left us with extra event currency with no exchange optoin happening at the end of them. Like what's the point in getting rewarded with useless extra event currency? Is what I kept asking myself. Then I thought about how other games that have ongoing monthly events with similar rewards. First game that came to mind was: multiversus. Yes it's not a gotcha, but, in terms of monthly events, special event themed currency an special event themed rewards, the 2 games are just like. Except pokemon pocket doesn't exchange players extra event currency for a common game currency at the end of events. Like, imo thats not that hard to do. And more inportantly with a game bringing in this much money you'd think the company would think to implement that into the game. I'm honestly surprised they just overlooked an have continued to overlook this aspect of events in general. By doing this, it helps keep the entire community, happier . The whales get extra incintives to spend an the free to plays get a little something extra to help them along the way. It just, incourages play. Imo. It makes sense to implement it.
I think the rainbow star is 1 of 2 things. Either the rainbow hyper rares type cards that came in physical tcg OR the stamp for FA/Secret Rare promos(like a FA Professor Research)
Unpopular opinion: we don’t need a new rarity. At this rate it’ll be extremely hard to collect them all Edit: My point regarding my original comment is that a lot of cards are already exceedingly difficult to obtain. There’s no point in adding another rarity that’ll make the odds even more abysmal.
I agree I’ve been hunting for the crown rares since the game started I have all my immersives except mewtwo ex so a new rarity is just making it way more difficult than it has to be🥲
With the cokours of the icon, surely it's more likely to be the intro of rainbow rares - we've got gold cards in the irl TCG and they're in game, so also having rainbow rares would make more sense imo. They're also a lot prettier than the gold cards I think, their animation would surely be dope!
same happened with the electric event to me, i didn't got a single zapdos ex which I'm still missing, but more importantly it didn't included eelektross, literally the only card I was missing to get the immersive mew.
@@chrisb.2028 You only need original 151 for immersive mew, but they have to be regular or EX versions from genetic apex. Promo cards and miniset cards don't count. I have immersive mew and I don't have any eelektross.
They need to reorganize the “My cards” section better. With the set coming out it’s going to suck scrolling alll the way down. Instead they should have tabs for each set. Makes it easier to look for cards for your deck.
7:40 I totally get that, my luck is just like that. I pulled 3 immersive Mewtwo EX and still haven't gotten a stupid Weezing to complete my kanto dex for the Mew mission..
i'm afraid trading will have some annoying requirements because if it's too easy to trade people are gonna put less money in the game and that's the only thing Nintendo care about
@@doublejazz i wouldn't be surprised to see a poke gold requirement to trade. i reckon there will also be limitations as to what can be traded by rarity. meaning, you can't trade your rattata for your alt account's crown card.
I am praying to whatever gods may exist that the new set contains a Crobat EX of some kind that is strong enough to theme a deck around. I will likely never run another deck if that happens. Probably not possible, but a man can dream.
I wouldn't be surprised. Genetic Apex is The Kanto Set, & Mythical Island is centered on both Mew & Celebi, so I am willing to bet the second full set will be The Johto Set. It's a smaller region with less pokemon that fit to be EX, & Crobat is one of the most fitting.
Hi Nice video. Im just thinking why isnt anyone talling about the clip at 09:26. Isnt that basically a sneak peek for the upcomong trading or something? 😅
Boundaries Crossed! This Squirtle was played competitively as part of Blastoise Black Kyurem and Blastoise Keldeo decks, having a self bench barrier ability :)
@logana5479 ding ding ding we've got a winner! Personally, I've got a lot of nostalgia with this one, as I was playing in tourneys with Blastoise Keldeo at the time haha, so props to you!
Agreed. I'm vibing with this game but it's rough on F2P. Player engagement is definitely going to start wavering if they don't get more than 4 x hourglasses for staying on top of it daily.
Just make sure you get 5 thanks every day so you can get more of them when the shop refreshes. Last week they refreshed the shop adding 72 more hour glasses
I feel like that new symbol will just be for rainbow rares like in the tcg. I wouldn't expect anything different than what we get with the gold cards, just rainbow. If it is for shinies or another immersive type thing, I'd be hyped!
I havent even finished the apex one. I still need dragonite. Pikachu ex and 1 more. And thats the basic cards. I dont even want to talk about the Star rarities or crowns
@@nachito9380 The speculation I’ve seems to imply that trading will become available after the new expansion is released & will be restricted to previous expansions only. That way players are still incentivized to pull packs for the newest cards but can trade for previous stuff they may have missed.
I've been experimenting with a Victreebel deck using the pokemon flutes, and its so much fun to kill a basic pokemon straight out of someones discard, but I'm struggling getting good support in it. Rn im running shiinotic cuz theyre pretty fast to get up and running and sleep can be very good for stall and decent 50 damage, but I'm not sure if it's the best choice
the trailer in the background shows that you get a notification, when you can open a pack. for me I only get that notification when I'm already starting the game. I can't find a way to change it to the way it is in the trailer
They better include the trading feature with that major update. I've gotten all the cards except for like 2-6 of the art ones in each pack. I've dropped hundreds trying to get them. Not again... If they don't include the trade feature, I'll be much more conservative with how I spend my money in the game. I've already flaired EVERY one of my alt art cards and basic cards that I use regularly. Not about to do the same thing for a whole new major set.
@@Paulxl Oh, don't worry. I am. It was money I was comfortable wasting. I appreciate the advice, but I was bitten long ago by A3 and I've learned my lesson since then ^_^.
does anybody have an idea why the amount of cards is different? I mean, when I pull a card or open a pack, then the amount of cards which is shown on the bottom of the game with a little popup always shows me 29 more cards than the amount which is shown in my card collection. I don't get it.
Finally finished Mythical Island the other night with the ex Gyrados from a wonder pick. Sitting at over 340 hourglasses right now really hoping to see some Johto exs in the next expansion
Loving the videos! I’m fairly new to the game and been getting into it. I recently pulled a Gold Charizard from a pack! So damn lucky! Just need to build decent decks
something I've noticed for the mass outbreak wonder trades is that the featured EX is usually in the top left, that's how I got my copies of both arcanine and zapdos
@ I believe it was in a tweet? Anyway it was around when they announced mythical island and they said trading was gonna be released mid January, I hope they'll keep their promise🤷♂️
I think that it might be the rainbow cards. They're completely different than the other two stars, yet completely different. The rainbow cards are all hand drawn AKA no CG art, but it's in the same rarity as the many CG art 2 star cards. Rainbows also have a unique texture compared to any other card, similar to SIR's and alt arts in the physical TCG. I think they will increase the rarity of the rainbow cards and make it it's own tier
Not sure how I feel about the new rarity. On F2P it's already almost mathematically impossible to get everything and that's with daily engagement and optimal hourglass saving. You're going to lose player engagement fast if people have gaps in every set.
I agree, but it really depends on how they handle it. If they don't phase packs out, they keep going through back-to-back events with lots of rewards, and each new pack comes with new solo battles and missions that heap prizes at the player, gaps don't matter. If they phase packs out and make trading extremely frustrating, that would tank engagement.
If you mean finishing the diamond set, it absolutely isn’t. If you mean getting every secret rare, even people who shell out hundreds can’t complete it. You’re not supposed to get every single secret rare card, and it really shouldn’t be one of your expectations. And no, I don’t think a large chunk of people are going to stop playing the game because they occasionally miss a few cards.
@Ursi_ Agreed. I've been considering the star rarities to be the same card as its base. I've been playing since the start and currently have just under 2500 cards in total and the only card I'm missing is Genetic Apex Exeggutor. Once you include full art and variants, I'm missing 26 Genetic Apex cards and 8 Mythical Island cards. But because of diminishing returns when seeking out rarer cards, I expect it would take more than another 2500 cards for those last 34 cards. The people I saw who posted about completing it all had over 8000 cards. I don't really mind those gaps, though. Nor do I mind that I don't have any Crown Rares.
I’m pretty sure that the set at the end of the month will be mainly Gen 2 Pokémon as the only Pokémon from Gen 2 to be released is Celebi and I think that’s a teaser. Also them releasing shinys during gen 2 would make sense
It is ok. Now don't forget to save them. It was already leaked that a new set is coming around mid or end of Jan so keep your eyes on the news for further news.
I always enjoy your instructional videos and streams, but I think the updates are weirdly my favorite because I can tell you're just as genuinely excited as we are
another rarity, another chance to earn 550 million bucks in the 2 upcoming months. and what do we get for it ? lackluster events and pretty mediocre rewards
It drives me nuts that there are so many people in the comments complaining about new cards. Like come on guys what do you want? Let’s just not have new cards until you guys have finished all of your collections? I mean, what is the endgame?
My guess for the second set A focus on steel and dark, as well as fighting (the mass outbreaks have always been of the favorable type going into a solo battle event, so fighting seems likely to be the lead). We'll see probably 2 each at least of dark and steel exs as well as another electric and another fighting. My guess Is Umbreon and Steelix, Possibly Absol or maybe Arbok or Crobat? I'm hopefully dual type support will also debut and it makes sense given the nature of steelix, Umbreon, Scizor and others all changing typing as they evolve.
It is quite sad to perpetuate the clickbait of showing that rarity asset that was mined from the game data without doing or showing proper research. It is not an indication of a new rarity whatsoever. It is only a leftover asset in the same vein as the leftover Fairy type asset. We don't "know" that a new rarity is coming at all.
Just got immersive mew this morning finally and missing either alt full art version or like reg ex Aerodactyl only from full mew pack set collected lol
So when people say they completed genetic apex, do they mean they have every single card and all of the rarity versions??? If so that’s crazy. They for sure had to pay lol
Everyone is hoping to see Shiny Variants of cards based off the rarity symbol but I'm surprised to see nobody saying that it could be Rainbow cards. They are very rare in the IRL TCG and usually sought after so it'd make sense that they make their way into Pocket....not to mention the symbol is literally a rainbow lol
Wow so happy for the Psychic outbreak event! I have literally pulled 3 immersive Mewtwo and 2 alt art Articuno before pulling a single GARDEVOIR. Now I just hope I'll be in luck for the wonder picks!
Honestly don't mind that they are taking their time with the new sets. I still have yet to finish Genetic Apex, but am only a couple of cards short on Mythical Island. Also, I've been testing new decks other than constantly running the meta decks that way it doesn't get super boring.
Look at the card pack list currently you can see grayed out cards in the card list and theirs what looks to be a shiny gyarodose it proply a shiny it's art doest much any current art work that's in the game
I like that squirtle art. I like that they're reusing good art from the tcg and good effects like mimic chatot, which was in the tcg years ago. Edit: I wish flare on cards were visible at all times, not just when you play a card. It's kinda dumb if you ask me.

I’m sure they will for this next A2 set
They want us to suffer for a while so eventually when they let us purchase more slots, we're all relieved and happy to do so. Just my theory

No gen 2 cards got released so we're probably getting all of them in the new set. I would bet money on lugia having an EX same with ho-oh.
1:13 Trivia question! What set does Squirtle's picture come from?
Boundaries Crossed! This Squirtle was played competitively as part of Blastoise Black Kyurem and Blastoise Keldeo decks, having a self bench barrier ability :)
@logana5479 ding ding ding we've got a winner!
Personally, I've got a lot of nostalgia with this one, as I was playing in tourneys with Blastoise Keldeo at the time haha, so props to you!
sick reference lol
I’m glad I’m not the only one sitting on 10 full art vaporeon instead of completing the set
They need to buff daily rewards to give us 8 pack hourglasses instead of 4 cause its ridiculous...
Agreed.
I'm vibing with this game but it's rough on F2P. Player engagement is definitely going to start wavering if they don't get more than 4 x hourglasses for staying on top of it daily.
@jensablefur155 give us at least 12 a day cause omg this is painful
lol they want your money, so they'll never do that
Just make sure you get 5 thanks every day so you can get more of them when the shop refreshes. Last week they refreshed the shop adding 72 more hour glasses
@zwillscoopchannel9689 so just ALWAYS give a thanks for everything in the game?
It'd be cool if the rainbow star cards were mildly animated
Bro I’m still trying to finish Mythical Island and Genetic Apex, but hey new cards
I feel like that new symbol will just be for rainbow rares like in the tcg. I wouldn't expect anything different than what we get with the gold cards, just rainbow. If it is for shinies or another immersive type thing, I'd be hyped!
I havent even finished the apex one. I still need dragonite. Pikachu ex and 1 more.
And thats the basic cards. I dont even want to talk about the Star rarities or crowns
When does the actual shop and missions start for the squirtle and charmander event? Cause I can't find anything other than the actual wonder picks
Do we have an official date for the end of the current packs? I'm still missing a handful of Pokemon
Same.
My guess is that this set won't go as they have already made a place for all sets.
Mythical island is only staying until Jan 30. Genetic apex is a main set so it's not scheduled to leave
Need to know too. I’ve been trying to get immersive Charizard and haven’t had any luck I only have 1 of the regular Charizard ex
Nothing official
6:13 and you know what else is massive
Is trading coming soon? Or has it been delayed?
@@nachito9380 The speculation I’ve seems to imply that trading will become available after the new expansion is released & will be restricted to previous expansions only. That way players are still incentivized to pull packs for the newest cards but can trade for previous stuff they may have missed.
They haven’t announced it yet
Is anybody else having problems with the new squirtle/charmander wonder pick event? I seem to not be getting the chansey pick cards...
Someone needs to tell them to do alt art s for the stage 1 starters, not another basic or stage 2.
I've been experimenting with a Victreebel deck using the pokemon flutes, and its so much fun to kill a basic pokemon straight out of someones discard, but I'm struggling getting good support in it. Rn im running shiinotic cuz theyre pretty fast to get up and running and sleep can be very good for stall and decent 50 damage, but I'm not sure if it's the best choice
psychic outbreak is a blessing for me! i have 2 immersive mewtwo but ZERO GARDEVOIR 😭
and i've been pulling mewtwo packs like crazy 😭😭😭
tbf, gardevoir is one of the cards you should really exchange if you dont get them in the outbreak
Doing the hardest difficulty does not guarantee you a promo pack. 0:35
7:50 similar situation as you bro, we just gotta wait for trading
Looks like trading will be for only ♦️ rarity cards at first, unfortunately. :/
the trailer in the background shows that you get a notification, when you can open a pack. for me I only get that notification when I'm already starting the game. I can't find a way to change it to the way it is in the trailer
They better include the trading feature with that major update. I've gotten all the cards except for like 2-6 of the art ones in each pack. I've dropped hundreds trying to get them. Not again...
If they don't include the trade feature, I'll be much more conservative with how I spend my money in the game. I've already flaired EVERY one of my alt art cards and basic cards that I use regularly. Not about to do the same thing for a whole new major set.
@@Frozzones You should always be conservative with how you spend your money. 😅
@@Paulxl Oh, don't worry. I am. It was money I was comfortable wasting. I appreciate the advice, but I was bitten long ago by A3 and I've learned my lesson since then ^_^.
does anybody have an idea why the amount of cards is different?
I mean, when I pull a card or open a pack, then the amount of cards which is shown on the bottom of the game with a little popup always shows me 29 more cards than the amount which is shown in my card collection. I don't get it.
Finally finished Mythical Island the other night with the ex Gyrados from a wonder pick. Sitting at over 340 hourglasses right now really hoping to see some Johto exs in the next expansion
Same but I only have about 100 hourglass left after a 10-pull looking for my second pika ex
Dark EX Tyranitar 🙏
Loving the videos! I’m fairly new to the game and been getting into it.
I recently pulled a Gold Charizard from a pack! So damn lucky!
Just need to build decent decks
When r we going to get trade????
I was also thinking about that.
In time, they have to make sure it's done properly so people don't try and scam others or use it to make a profit
Trade was last seen scheduled for the middle and or towards the end of the month
probably on the 30th, same time as the new set
@@Thatfpsguy oh the horror, ppl profiting from a multi billion dollar company
Wow, the psychic outbreak is pretty amazing for newer folks who are still building m2 decks
something I've noticed for the mass outbreak wonder trades is that the featured EX is usually in the top left, that's how I got my copies of both arcanine and zapdos
Bottom right, for me
By the same logic it would be bottom left for me. It is truly random but with only 5 possibilities it is not unlikely for one spot to seem biased
ah must be a coincidence then
Did anyone else get the new Charmander and Squirtle promo cards a day before the event even dropped. I did. I found that strange, but not complaining.
Don't forget that they said they'd release trading in January too, if they don't it's the biggest scam pulled off by this company
Oh dang did they say January? Gonna be super interesting to see
@ I believe it was in a tweet? Anyway it was around when they announced mythical island and they said trading was gonna be released mid January, I hope they'll keep their promise🤷♂️
Scam lol
Biggest scam? Have you ever heard of Pokémon brilliant diamond and shining pearl?
@@Jumpman-id5id scam of Dena not of TPCi
The special flare is exclusive for the event or is forever
3:10 You know what else is massive
GET OUT
LOOOOOOOWWWWWW TAAAAAAPPPEERRRRRR FAAADDEEEE
I think that it might be the rainbow cards. They're completely different than the other two stars, yet completely different. The rainbow cards are all hand drawn AKA no CG art, but it's in the same rarity as the many CG art 2 star cards. Rainbows also have a unique texture compared to any other card, similar to SIR's and alt arts in the physical TCG. I think they will increase the rarity of the rainbow cards and make it it's own tier
Not sure how I feel about the new rarity.
On F2P it's already almost mathematically impossible to get everything and that's with daily engagement and optimal hourglass saving. You're going to lose player engagement fast if people have gaps in every set.
I agree, but it really depends on how they handle it.
If they don't phase packs out, they keep going through back-to-back events with lots of rewards, and each new pack comes with new solo battles and missions that heap prizes at the player, gaps don't matter.
If they phase packs out and make trading extremely frustrating, that would tank engagement.
If you mean finishing the diamond set, it absolutely isn’t. If you mean getting every secret rare, even people who shell out hundreds can’t complete it. You’re not supposed to get every single secret rare card, and it really shouldn’t be one of your expectations. And no, I don’t think a large chunk of people are going to stop playing the game because they occasionally miss a few cards.
@Ursi_ Agreed. I've been considering the star rarities to be the same card as its base. I've been playing since the start and currently have just under 2500 cards in total and the only card I'm missing is Genetic Apex Exeggutor. Once you include full art and variants, I'm missing 26 Genetic Apex cards and 8 Mythical Island cards.
But because of diminishing returns when seeking out rarer cards, I expect it would take more than another 2500 cards for those last 34 cards. The people I saw who posted about completing it all had over 8000 cards.
I don't really mind those gaps, though. Nor do I mind that I don't have any Crown Rares.
I’m pretty sure that the set at the end of the month will be mainly Gen 2 Pokémon as the only Pokémon from Gen 2 to be released is Celebi and I think that’s a teaser. Also them releasing shinys during gen 2 would make sense
Ugh, used my 120 hourglass for 10 pack openings today. Should have saved it. 😭
It is ok. Now don't forget to save them. It was already leaked that a new set is coming around mid or end of Jan so keep your eyes on the news for further news.
Remember guys you can obtain flairs for promo cards with just stardust, no additional cards required.
0 views 0 secs bro on the come up!!
I always enjoy your instructional videos and streams, but I think the updates are weirdly my favorite because I can tell you're just as genuinely excited as we are
another rarity, another chance to earn 550 million bucks in the 2 upcoming months. and what do we get for it ? lackluster events and pretty mediocre rewards
It drives me nuts that there are so many people in the comments complaining about new cards. Like come on guys what do you want? Let’s just not have new cards until you guys have finished all of your collections? I mean, what is the endgame?
Does anyone else have the chansey and bonus pick for the new event without having the actual event missions?
Yeah I'm getting event tickets from free wonder pick and nothing to buy from the shop
My guess for the second set
A focus on steel and dark, as well as fighting (the mass outbreaks have always been of the favorable type going into a solo battle event, so fighting seems likely to be the lead). We'll see probably 2 each at least of dark and steel exs as well as another electric and another fighting.
My guess Is Umbreon and Steelix, Possibly Absol or maybe Arbok or Crobat?
I'm hopefully dual type support will also debut and it makes sense given the nature of steelix, Umbreon, Scizor and others all changing typing as they evolve.
isn't that rarity symbol the one used in the physical game for terra-form pokemon? so alt-type pokemon maybe
Nice spike in yours views in this video… keep rocking spragels. Hope that UNITE does well and come with a Hugh update😊
Mythical Island just released and I'm trying to build that up, releasing a new expansion barely a month after WITH a new rarity is torture rn
New rarity may be a "wild card" which you can convert to a card you want.
MAJOR Reaching incoming:
Hear me out, Rainbow VMax cards 💥
I dont play pocket, big unite fan but its awesome to see Spragels pulling these numbers in a day. Well deserved.
That rainbow icon is for rainbow cards, which is of higher value than full art or crown rare cards
It is quite sad to perpetuate the clickbait of showing that rarity asset that was mined from the game data without doing or showing proper research. It is not an indication of a new rarity whatsoever. It is only a leftover asset in the same vein as the leftover Fairy type asset. We don't "know" that a new rarity is coming at all.
Just got immersive mew this morning finally and missing either alt full art version or like reg ex Aerodactyl only from full mew pack set collected lol
is there still no news about when will the trading be available?? really looking forward to that
I'm up for the Psychic wonder pick. I still need three Mewtwos and three Gardevoirs to complete their themed collections in the GA missions.
So when people say they completed genetic apex, do they mean they have every single card and all of the rarity versions??? If so that’s crazy. They for sure had to pay lol
Everyone is hoping to see Shiny Variants of cards based off the rarity symbol but I'm surprised to see nobody saying that it could be Rainbow cards. They are very rare in the IRL TCG and usually sought after so it'd make sense that they make their way into Pocket....not to mention the symbol is literally a rainbow lol
Do you think genetic apex and mythical island will come back some time for more chances to get them all
Wow so happy for the Psychic outbreak event! I have literally pulled 3 immersive Mewtwo and 2 alt art Articuno before pulling a single GARDEVOIR. Now I just hope I'll be in luck for the wonder picks!
I'm personally hoping we get more cards like Exeggutor EX that wants to go first to balance out all the cards that want to go second.
Honestly don't mind that they are taking their time with the new sets. I still have yet to finish Genetic Apex, but am only a couple of cards short on Mythical Island. Also, I've been testing new decks other than constantly running the meta decks that way it doesn't get super boring.
Best Pokémon Pocket channel hands down!
Gotta love when the ad Is for the game
do we know anything about trades coming into the game??
Look at the card pack list currently you can see grayed out cards in the card list and theirs what looks to be a shiny gyarodose it proply a shiny it's art doest much any current art work that's in the game
Is it random when Chansey picks happen??
Did you do the Zapdos mass outbreak event?
I just hope they increase the deck capacity because i hate deleting decks i enjoyed to try create new ones.
Will Genetic Apex and Mythical Island disappear when the new set drops? I still need the gold Charizard and immersive Mewtwo and Pikachu
Unlikely, I suspect they'll be around for at least a full year
Your announcement is a tournament with Jeff Hoogland
I like that squirtle art. I like that they're reusing good art from the tcg and good effects like mimic chatot, which was in the tcg years ago. Edit: I wish flare on cards were visible at all times, not just when you play a card. It's kinda dumb if you ask me.
Reminder if there pick up event and mass outbreak,there will be solo mission for opposite element in the future
Will genetic apex and mystical island be removed once the new set drops?
What is happening with Genetic Apex ? Is the set going to stay ?
We need more specifics on the Trade feature which was completely ignored in this video.
I'm not sure there are specifics.
On the event schedule put together by data-miners, Trading is the only thing that they have no information about.
I am so close to finishing the first 151 for the special mew lol
will genetic apex leave when the new expansion comes in?
