I'm hoping there's some silly way to get 10+ energies on Mega Metagross
Not a good start
I was checking FE, and from Nintendo themselves, the download is £58.99 and the physical is £66.99 (I think full game rather than key card?). Is this the first game where digital is cheaper on release, or have there already been others?
Ah, Fidough has no retreat cost. I was thinking you'd need 2x generator to put them on your bench, then 2x elemental switch to put them on active, but then you'd still be needing 4 more pokemon in your hand/bench. Needs luck to pull off, but probably unbeatable when it works.
How are you getting two energy on turn 1?
Tour was the free mobile game, right?
Two new rallies as part of a free update is pretty nice. Still not a huge fan of rallies compared with the grand prix, but I'll still try them out.
Amazing thanks. I was just coming back to this thread to update and thank the mystery friend, and it was you. After my complaining yesterday, I pulled 3 Dedennes today.
Update: 4 Dedennes in one day
I'd like to complain that I've now opened 12 Everyday Wonders packs and I've only got 1- and 2-diamond cards from them all.
Anyway, I'm still slowly completing old sets. ~~Mega Blastoise ex is the one I'm needing for Crimson Blaze, so if anyone has an ex they need and a Blastoise to spare, I'll trade if I have it.~~

So it's not the Mega Rayquaza packs next? Well, I'll still be opening these happily.
Yet to open a god pack, and yet to see one in wonder pick ... until today
I picked the 2-star Koraidon, which I'm not too unhappy about.
I like playing a Blaine deck (i.e., Rapidash, Ninetales), so I started my ranked season to see how far I could get with it.
I started at the bottom of Ultra Ball 2 on 510 points. Forty-six battles and probably about 4 hours later, I finished at the bottom of Ultra Ball 2 on 521 points, and that's where I decided to end it. My best position during this run was around halfway up UB2; my worst was around halfway down UB1. I honestly thought my deck bricked more than usual, but 46 sounds like a reasonable sample size, so maybe it's a bricky deck in reality.
All the battles and my result are viewable below. I won 18 and lost 28, with a win rate of 39%. I haven't counted them up, but the most common decks seemed to be Mega Blaziken and Mega Lucario.
List of battles
? means the battle didn't go long enough for me to be sure what kind of deck it was.
This was my deck:
It does really struggle with megas. Megas generally can one-shot Rapidash or Ninetales on two energy, but they have a high enough HP, even without healing, to survive two or three hits. If the mega is set up on the bench, it's really difficult. On the plus side, water decks aren't that popular right now.
It is possible to play some random deck in Ranked, but you might just end of treading water, and it wasn't that fun, to be honest. I still like the deck and I have fun in random casual battles, but I think I won't be bringing it back to Ranked again.
I work in the civil service and there's this sense that we have to try using gen AI because central government is pushing it as the solution to unlocking productivity and saving the UK economy, even if it's not suitable for our jobs. Of course I ignore it as much as possible, but I have no doubt that some colleagues will outsource their thinking to the computer and end up in situations like this.
