I restarted my account after getting no rares, and in the FIRST PACK! the free Mewtwo one they make you open at lvl 1! I pulled EX Venasuar card 1 and card 5 was Full immersive art Mewtwo! It was the 9th card in my collection 😂

[@AustinJohnPlays]

this is now my primary account and its been NOTHING but great pulls. my first account after over 300 cards hard had TWO Ex's and 6 alt rates. I'm happy its gone lol.

@@ToskaCat would have been awesome to think of resetting my account before synchronizing with my Nintendo account

[@punchdog6057]

@@ToskaCat so you have to do reroll crap in this game?

[@ToskaCat]

@@punchdog6057 you don’t have to, but I’m proof that doing it even once can be super beneficial. Just playing the 10 mins tutorial till you unlock battles, you get like 10-15 packs really quickly. My first time playing I got 3 poopy rares and even a duplicate of 1. I rerolled in 10 secs and got one of the 2nd rarest cards in the first pack it gives you. Then 2 more rares after that. So 100% worth

[@metronithesoul]

how many packs did you open before restarting?

[@RyanDawsonn]

I also realised you can flip the pack before opening it to have the cards face the other way as a bit of a 'mystery' to the pack opening which is cool.

[@AustinJohnPlays]

naw. i need to do the peek to see if I should hold the FFW button lol

[@RyanDawsonn]

@@AustinJohnPlays yeah for sure, gotta do the peek and FFW to speed through them initial packs haha but I'll probably use the flip sometimes once I'm only opening 1 pack every 12 hours 😅

[@PokeMasterduel]

We do a simular same when we open real packs to.

[@TheVardener]

This is why I'm subbed to this channel. Straight to business, efficiency, best way to do it free. I also think if you do end up liking the game, since you don't normally do non-switch games, maybe some shorts content? I'm not exactly sure what it would be, but it seems like it would fit pretty well. Honestly for people who follow the channel regularly like I do, if you're enjoying the game, say a bi-monthly "Hey these are some of the cool cards I pulled" would be pretty cool.

[@MrMelon-dm4rt]

I NEEEEED MORE CONTENT ON THIS! Even just you opening new packs and going over the content of the game would be really cool and fun! 😁

[@KingNidoTCG]

[@OurHeroXero]

16:50 Over a large enough number of pulls, whether you pick the same card or different cards, you will have a 20% pick. What you'r not accounting for are all the times you pick different cards and you pick correctly.

[@millycat]

In multiple choice rng you can chase it indefinitely and forever lose. If you sit on a spot/number you are going to get the best percentage chance. Yes you can do better if you try to chase and win, you can totally have 100%. “Over a large enough number of pulls” you can find out what luck really means.

[@boman987]

I agree. Picking the same one for “reasons” is not how statistics work.

[@porsche911c]

It doesn't matter which card you pick, whether it's the same spot every time or you switch it up every time, picking a random card out of 5 = 20% chance. End of story. Even if you got the card you wanted 10 times out of 10, each individual selection was 20%, no matter where you pick, or where you pick the next 9 times after that.

[@jwoods218]

would love to see more content on this game, honestly seeing you get all giddy when you pull cards is always fun to see, nostalgia is a great thing my friend. Love the channel!!

[@mwoodward1240]

I absolutely love that you've shared how to get the most enjoyment out of the startup phase in an accessible way. Indeed all the videos of folks throwing money at the game like it's going out of style can leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Basically, keep resetting until you get the golden card you want, then sync the accounts. You don't even have to make separate google accounts. Just don't sync in the beginning when making an account. Then delete save data within the app if you don't get what you want.

[@grin_of_grimmsnarl1333]

I appreciate you going through this like you did. It's pretty cool to see you can make this happen if you really wanna. Even with one phone. Appreciate your work, my dude!

[@NobuoHack008]

I would totally watch more content on this. I clicked instantly. Unlike other games, this one doesn't have a story so I can watch it right away. I'm really curious about how different the battle system is from regular tcg and some weird deck building. Maybe not competitive, but maybe ones with weird quirks? If they ever do something like raids/bosses, I'm sure I'd enjoy videos like your raid tips videos. Thanks for the content!

[@astralgnostic2404]

as an old school TCG player, seeing a 20 card limit made me panic, but honestly it really streamlines things so you arent spending half the game on setup and deck searches. it definitely turns up the heat, though, but I'm enjoying learning against the AI in solo battles before i dip into real matches

[@RyanDawsonn]

I got started last night and the first account I made had a couple normal EXs and a Dragonite alt art, so I deleted the saved data and tried again... got the gold Mewtwo EX a few packs in! Surprised to see one of the top 3 cards so fast. Thanks for the tutorial 😃

As someone who's not local to New Zealand, im glad lots of people are getting attention and building communities since they have full access. Im watching some content by them and its fun to take part. As someone who is able to play, Its cool. Kinda scared of power creep right out of the gate with the next set. Its got a few cool ideas for builds. Currently lucky enough to pull mewtwo ex twice, one being the immersive card, and two gardivar for the psychic energy move ability. Also want to try the poison dark build.

one tip, on android you dont need to delete the app, just delete all data, long press icon goto setting clear data and cache helps reduce time

[@wookiedough9479]

I completely planned on making another account, opening all the free packs, trading those over to my main, then deleting the account data & repeating the process. Only thing I am unsure of is if they are going to implement some kind of trade restrictions or like in pokemon go trade resources.

[@ignaciodiaz5647]

100% for sure they'll implement some kind of restriction, specially to prevent people from doing that

[@atomic_hok]

From the rumors it's going to be 1 for 1 of the same rarity card for trading so you can't just make a new account and trade everything good over unless your main has alot of extras of the alt arts

[@AustinJohnPlays]

i seriously doubt it'll be rarity restricted. my educated persumtion is it will cost Shinedust. a variable amount based on rarity and if its already obtained. just like PoGo

[@johnnyblaze10]

​​@@AustinJohnPlays probably both. it would be a huge advantage for people with multiple accounts if they can trade whatever rarity they want. besides that, im pretty sure they mentioned that little timmy wont have to fear "accidentally" trading his charizard ex for a wooloo

@@johnnyblaze10they haven’t put that restriction in any other game or app. So I’d be REAL surprised if so.

i feel like this video can be summed up with: Play the solo battles, do missions and then once youre done with that, only open the game for three minutes a day to get two packs and then thats it

[@grantlawrence4600]

What exactly is off about it? Is it just the easy deletion of the account? I can almost guarantee that trading will require a currency. It won't be free. Or some level limitation. Or both.

[@Thradeau]

You can do this exact sequence of actions with *many* mobile games. It's present in other DeNA games like Pokemon Masters. It won't be patched.

[@97MiloProductions]

nah, rerolling accounts is the bread and butter of games of this type, plenty of people will often restart accounts until they get the initial unit/card/character they want. Though a specific thing about this game is that trading will be possible in the future. still, unlikely for anything to change

Love the advice/tips, hope they keep this a thing for States-side launch, earned a sub 👍

[@gaaabialm]

Something tells me you'll need to have at least 3 of the same card to be able to trade one, so I don't know how worthwhile it will be to create alt accounts to get immersive or golden cards for you to exchange with your main account if in the end you will need to have 3 of these cards for that 🤔💭

[@aycarumba9248]

I came to the following Sequence to max out the free Packs in a short time for me: After the Reset, I pick the Pikachu Pack (for the Premade Fire Deck) Open the Mewtwo Pack Wonderpick twice (dont forget to thank at the second Wonderpick) go to Missions and collect the reward for the Wonderpick open 5 Packs (2 free and 3 from items) After that, im Level 3 with 37 Cards in total. Then i switch to Battles and rush through the tutorial and the Ivysaur Battle. Picking the Pikachu Deck makes it a bit faster since you hit for weakness. After the Ivysaur Battle, i collect the Mission rewards and can open 10 Packs at once. That gives another Levelup and thats another Pack. This way, i gain 18 Packs (including the first one) in About 13 Mins. It may not be the most optimized way to do it, but i guess its pretty good and its working fine for me.

[@AustinJohnPlays]

i decided the time spent with battle tutorials and battles was better spent doing a reset for another easy 10-12 packs

[@vincentm2383]

I think i got a godpack? 2 of them are alternative art. 3 are ex, the last ex is the Charizard immersive. Should i keep the account?
