Gen 3 is brutal

Whoa, thanks for the tip fellow Pokéfan! I've been playing for 20+ years and didn't know about this method. I always assumed that if you ran away, then it meant good riddance to the legendary.

Thank GOD I watched this right as I started my hunt. I was 2 SRs in when I watched this. THANK YOU!

Will this work if my battery is dead

I've drawn the card roughly 30 times... only one has it been useful. Just today, I've drawn it 5 times today, all five I got tails

Does this only work for Pokémon in the overworld? Like kecleon

red card complainers are the worst. If you complain at the red card dont save your card just use em this tcg game is for children its the easy shit ever. i been using the shittiest deck ingame rolling noobs with only a single boss monster the only good card in my deck utility is big never save cards use use use this shit aint the normal tcg

Is that THE mikeatron!!!

I Can't Believe it's mikeatron!!!

Dude it's mikeatron!!!

really enjoy your videos man! love how knowledgeable u are at the game and i always love seeing off meta decks

Thanks

JigglyPUFF out your chest, show them how WigglyTUFF you can be, whether you're KOFFING or WHEEZING, your opponent will be the one choking

Sinister is right, this Jigglypuff sounds like a menace

Ha No, it's just have Scarlet or Violet. 😂 Ball of your choosing. First throw.

It's quite obvious Misty is a total design failure. It's legitimately the most poorly designed card I have ever seen in a TCG and I play quite a bit of TCGs. No game should ever be able to be entirely decided by a series of coin flips on turn 1 before an opposing player can even interact. It's not even just a problem on turn 1, it can be turn 10 and you Sabrina their Lapras or Articuno with no energy and they hit a 3 or 4 misty and its game over, despite being outplayed. And it feels bad if you're on the receiving end of bad coin flips. RNG in a card game is fine; Misty completely determining the outcome one way or another based on a series of coin flips is just awful design. It needs to be entirely reworked

This game has over 220 cards. Decks are 20 cards. There are really only 2 decks that are considered meta. Mewtwo EX & Pikachu EX. Those 2 decks also share many cards between them. That's less than 40 meta defining cards out of 220+. I would not call that balance. Misty isn't even in the meta because it fails more than it succeeds.

I learned how to play MtG (at a basic level) when I was 4 years old 26 years ago and have been playing various card games at various levels on and off for that entire time. Misty is quite possibly the worst designed card I have seen in that ENTIRE time.

I don’t think it’s actually that bad to have a turn where your supporter does nothing. Yes you do lose a small amount of card advantage, but there are plenty of turns where you would not otherwise have played a supporter card, especially in a deck built around an energy-hungry Pokémon.

completely agree

Is red card healthy well for cheaters it prevents the opposite users from being able to do anything against them so I’d personally say no

I want whoever madw Misty doxxed and bamned from card design theres only two options with it 1: It does nothing and costs your supporter for the turn 2: It snowballs everything Its eirher a win you didn't earn or an L you couldn't avoid so yes that is bad design and we know the only reason she exists is because she has a pussy. I don't know how Japanese treat their homeless but this gooner who made her gonna find out

I think misty as "flip 2 coins" (and no attacking turn 1) would be less toxic, but at the same time worse for the game. She seems to be designed around the idea of 2 copies being part of her "consistency".

Misty is not a problem. If my misty rolls low well sucks to be me I'm playing clean and fair pokemon. If it rolls high I'm in full aggro. There's a ton of rolls in the game that make or break the game. The cards fine. On the other hand Brock is a VERY bad card that will see no play. Its too restrictive while misty is just restrictive enough.

It absolutely needs to be a fix number of coin flips, not just keep flipping until tails. Two flips would probably be the most balanced, but maybe even as many as three flips would be okay, so it still had explosive potential.

For the count, how do you automate it? or do you keep track of it yourself?

What if you do it like 1000 times and save and then it off. Is it stil 1000/8192 or does it reset to 0?

Hand scope red card has been pretty nice for me. Early game I can see if they have a good draw if so I red card. If not let’s say they have a charizard but no charmeleon the second they evolve into charmeleon I’m red carding. It’s niche like you said but I’ve found value.

It literally just needs a [can't be played first turn]. Like Misty and Pikachu EX are the only cards I feel are broken in small ways that just don't encourage the meta very well. Mewtwo is fine honestly, and plenty of other elements work really well. Just not being able to respond to Misty simply because you went second is crazy. Pikachu EX just needs lower health tbh. Solid 100 would work.

My record of missing is like 17/20 flip. Lol, this isn't 50/50

One time I pulled of a Articuno ex and a Misty and got three heads on my first turn. Instead of joy I felt really bad for my opponent 😔.

It stills baffles me that Misty works on ALL water Pokemon. Why don’t make all trainers like Blaine and Brock work on all Pokemon of a certain type as well, then? It confuses me a lot lol

misty was my crutch when my only card was articuno EX so I can see why it's so widely used. Once you dive deeper into the meta you realize why PikachuEX, MewtwoEX, MachampEX, Primape and Weezing deck mechanics give you so much more breathing room to build to a turn 2-4 and play the damn game rather than failing a coin flip on turn 2 and dooming you to a death spiral of being an energy card behind all game long.

All coin flipper decks are just gamblers

People are getting a heads or more with Misty? She just gives me the middle finger and leaves. Lol

That'S why i stay with Moltres EX.

Apart of me feels like the design was intentional. Even the Expert deck in the solo mode uses it and can One-Turn-KO you on occassion. It still does not feel good to be on the other end of it though. An errata would be nice. Even if Misty only gave 1 Water energy without the coin flip, it would still be see play.

I think Red Card is a card that gets better vs stronger players. Vs the vast majority of your online randoms who just play everything they can, potential Sabrina be damned, its value will be fairly minimal. I come from a background in yugioh so my focus with RC has been mostly about card advantage. I'll often just slap RC on the board if it means my opponent will go -1 or -2 in hand size.

fast energy acceleration shouldnt be a thing. ive played the pokemon tcg before, ive played mtg before ( where same goes for mana ), also yugioh but that game is technically free. theres a reason why pokemon / creatures need a specific amount of energy to do what they do, to make them balance. misty, if she works, is just a bad design, as said in the video bad experience for one player even tho imo the side playing misty is interested to play this "cheat" so i dont feel bad for them if tails shows up lol. i know this might be weird for some because the card sees not much play but i would also redesign brock. its just a matter of time until a fighting time pokemon will make great use of it and then we are annoyed by that card. also it limits card design for the team behind ppocket. there might be some who think cards like guardevaior should also be changed but thats different. setup needs time / good draws and you can still counter it tho. you cant counter a lucky misty tho. as long as theres reasonable counter play things are fine, misty doesnt belong in that tho.

Bruh, high risk, high reward. I saw don't change anything. Let the meta simmer for a lil while. I've been loving all the crazy decks people are coming up with.

Misty is balanced considering the decks she is used it which is hughroll. U r looking at the card in isolation and not when paired with others. Without Misty most water cards r basically useless. They take way too long to come on board otherwise. No misty deck is in the top tier because of how balanced misty is designed. she is a highroll deck. Moltres does the same thing but has a body and can do dmg yet no1 complains about it

Perhaps it could be changed so that each energy gained has to be allocated to a different pokemon.

Nothing feels better than red carding someone after they just used their Professors Research. But most of the time I end is just sitting on it.

Misty is just bad game design. It warps all future water pokemon since they would have to account for the player instantly getting online with misty. This means they will be designed with high energy costs like garydos, blastoise ect and all decks will just rely on misty

Misty isn't inherently poor design in itself the problem is that its literally the only (non Pokémon) energy ramp in the entire game, compounded by a glut of powerful water Pokémon means she's the only one that can break the energy tempo the game gives. IF every deck had more options (trainer card or no) then it wouldn't be horrible.

Misty is balanced by three things. 1 On average, it does nothing half of the times you use it. 2. Water pokemon attacks usually have a high energy cost. For example, blastoise ex needs 5 water energy to do 160 damage. 3. Water pokemon with lower energy costs like Starmie ex or Articuno ex can't one shot any ex pokemon and it can't one shot many not ex pokemon either.

I wouldn’t say it is, it’s a pretty simple form of disruption that isn’t even guaranteed to be good. I’ve had hands completely clogged with nothing good, only to get red carded and, oh look all my pieces. The opposite has also happened but thats just how the card is meant to work

Misty should either be flip 2 coins or attach 1 energy to the active Pokemon, not flip until tails. That way you're at least not getting turn 1 hydro pumped and it still has utility.

I've always despised Red Card and other hand destruction cards. You strip the opponent of options at zero cost. Anyone have fond memories of Team Rocket's Sneak Attack + Impostor Prof Oak back in Team Rocket and Gym series? The right way to do it is the "both players shuffle and draw equal to remaining Prizes" because it impacts both players. Or give the attacked player a resource in exchange--say, attaching an energy. Or make it cost the Red Card user another card--discard something else to use this card. I'll agree that Red Card in Pocket is the least egregious version, and I use it even though I hate that it exists. I agree there need to be ways to check hand sizes growing to massive numbers, but this shouldn't be as free as it is.

Misty isn't poorly designed, it's that people aren't understanding what the card is and how it should be played. Average energy gain from Misty is less than 1. But it's also possible to get more than 1 energy when played. 25% chance of 2 or more energy, 12.5% of 3 or more, and 6.75% of 4 or more energy. This can be devastating when paired with something like a Lapras or Articuno, both of which are base pokemon and decently powerful with just 3 energy. So a 1 turn going first Lapras with a misty has a 12.5% chance of dealing 80 damage, and from then on continues to deal 80 damage and heals 20 each turn. That is if the opponent even plays a second pokemon on their first turn and isn't instantly defeated on turn 1. If it's a turn 1 going second this increases to a 25% chance since you get 1 energy, same with turn 2 if you went first. Turn 2 going second is an entire 50% chance that with a Misty you have your Lapras hitting. This is an almost guaranteed win against nearly any deck. Even pikachu is likely to get taken down since by the time the opponent gets 2 energy and 3 benched pokemon they are likely to have already lost one pokemon and only a single ex pikachu needs to be taken down. With all that said, would you want to play this deck in a tournament? No way, it's RNG based and I doubt it would even have a 50% win rate against the best decks. It depends on drawing a misty on turn 1 or two which is maybe a 50% chance and then a coin flip of at least 1 energy to be competitive, so more like 20% nearly guaranteed win, 30% running even, and 70% chance you are probably at a disadvantage compared to the best decks. It's only tournament playable if you don't have a better deck that you can use. If you don't have better cards then you may as well just pray to the RNG god and hope to get good draws and coin flips all the time. Enough tournaments and enough games and chances are you could hit a streak of getting Lapras/Articuno along with a Misty first turn and then getting 1 energy or more every time. What it is very good at would be getting fast wins with less time invested or trying to beat a solo match where you are at a large disadvantage. You either get that 20% guaranteed win or you concede. If you get the 20% then there is a decent chance the opponent concedes, especially if you don't have a second pokemon and they can't hit you with a Sabrina.
