The BEST Cards In Each Pack | Pokemon TCG Pocket Genetic Apex

[@benyaminapriliantobastian5506]

I feel like an underrated card that nobody talks about is farfetchd, 60 hp is just good enough to tank a hit from most pokemon with one or even two energy attached, and with 40 attack, it can dish out serious damage while you set up your bench pokemon

[@ginpachi1]

Spragels talks about Farfetch’d all the time, I personally love it

[@Scumborg]

It’s alright, but you ideally want to add cards that work towards a particular mechanic in your deck. It’s a fine choice while you’re still building a deck and in the earlier solo battles, but it gets outpaced fast and can become a liability if your opponent has anything other than a bricked hand turn 1,2,and 3.

[@tgrrr7201]

my choice of filler for my decks that I'm still working on

[@brawlhelper9040]

I'd say Farfetch'd is S tier. Anti meta card so it's the best first pick

[@zanosolfox]

I think the current meta only has 2 type of strategy : 1. Beatdown with low ( 1-2 ) cost energy 2. Defense and ramp ( adding energy to certain pokemon while evolving ). That's why in 2nd strat, card like : Misty, Moltres EX, Brock, Gardevoir, Liligant, is a must have on certain ramp deck.

[@Bookedsphere]

Yesssir there’s really good cards to help set up your powerhouse pokemon

[@Slowrath]

@@zanosolfox You can also drop liligant's entire line in favor of Exeggutor ex for a bulky low cost attacker that only needs one energy. Gives ya lots of time to set up Venusaur

[@throwbackblackcat]

Porygon has become a favorite of mine for its Data Scan ability. All it has to do is squat on the bench for the whole game letting me know what I’m about to topdeck next turn. It’s great especially late game, there’s been a few times that Data Scan revealed a copy of my Charizard EX for the Charmeleon I’ve been pumping up on the bench, so I know I can start moving towards closing out the game. Other times it can reveal a Sabrina, Red Card or X-Speed so I can strategize for the next turn. Before I even think about conceding, I activate Data Scan to be sure that the card I need won’t be in my hand next turn.

[@hejsvejs6616]

I got a porygon full art, an I was looking for people who also uses it

[@kingdiamond51fifty]

Here is the true star kangaskhan Let’s take a look at that card 100 hp 1 energy to play it Dizzy punch for 30 + flip two coin to do 60 damage Only negative. Takes three energy to retrieve it, but that’s OK. Perfect. Set up card while you’re juicing up your boys well putting early. Scary pressure on your opponent. Farfetch’d is a good option but kangaskhan is where it’s at though.

[@ScareyBusey]

If you can get him first turn you have an ideal start I think

[@robertsiudak8507]

Ive been using Articuno+Tentacruel/Frosmoth since i began because of how my opening went, and ive gotta say the biggest issue holding tentacruel back is the fact it dies to Pikachu EX in 1 hit.

[@benisboredaf5678]

@@robertsiudak8507 kinda late, but I had this problem too with my artículo deck. Try this though: keep frosmoth and use rarely when you want to stop a pokemon and stall (since he can put them to sleep. Works great on mewtwo). Swap out tentacruel for starmie and some staryu. Starmie ex is such a better alternative to tentacruel. I believe starmie has more health, deals an insane amount of damage, and even though it’s a ex pokemon it’s retreat cost is zero so if he gets weak it’s free to take him out. I’ve been destroying people ever since this setup, I think it’s underrated.

[@yokoshima1793]

Arbok is also one everyone is sleeping on, specially with Pidgeot, the can't retreat efect of it's attack can be really anoying

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

I'm kinda hyped that they brought back Water Shuriken Greninja in this game. I played the heck out of that deck with Greninja BREAK on Pokemon TCG Online during the XY era when I was a kid and it was such a fun strategy. Hope it's good enough here to give it a shot!

[@SmilingBakedBaguette]

I have a Nido deck fully built out but it's just too hard to set up. And if you lose any one of your Nidoran ♂️ during the setup, you'll be set back for the entire match.

[@Arcane0085]

Yep I'm going for a water deck.

[@ydgmdlu]

The problem is if you want a competitive Water deck, you need to open two types of packs, or all three. The only viable one-pack Water deck is Starmie ex + Greninja. I've opened well over 100 packs, split across all three, and I still don't have all of the pieces for any competitive Water deck, not even Starmie ex + Greninja. Water is definitely the most P2W archetype.

[@TheMaplestSyrup]

@@ydgmdlu I mean resetting your account is also an option in the early stages right

[@ydgmdlu]

@@TheMaplestSyrup rerolling means that you can open around 30 packs in one go. That could be enough to guarantee two or three different rare cards that you want (or four or five if you're really lucky), but it certainly won't guarantee two copies of each desired card. The odds of a specific EX Pokémon are like 1/40 or 1/50. I've seen people say that they rerolled dozens of times across multiple days just to get that small handful of specific cards. To me that sounds like spending too much time for too little reward. Then once you stop rerolling, there's no guarantee when you'll get the other cards that you need to finish a deck. So let's say that on one reroll you end up with one Mewtwo EX and one Gardevoir. It may be another 50 to 100 more packs before you pull a second copy of either Pokémon or both. And you really need two copies of both or else the deck won't be competitive. Charizard EX needs Moltres EX, and that's even harder to to pull because EX Pokémon are rarer than non-EX Stage 2 Pokémon. Both Mewtwo and Charizard are one-pack decks. For a two-pack deck like any competitive Water deck, you are half as likely to get what you need through rerolling. Sure you could get cards through Wonder Pick, but you could be waiting days just to get a chance at a card that you need, and you could pick the wrong slot, meaning you'll have to wait potentially more days for another chance. So even if you rerolled your account until you got a Starmie EX, it could be multiple weeks before you get a second copy through a booster pack opening or through Wonder Pick. Meanwhile, you still need to get your hands on two copies of Misty and two copies of whatever other Pokémon you want the deck to have, be it Greninja, Articuno EX, or Blastoise EX.

Hadnt considered baby articuno in there, had been playing Bruxish since everything would be damaged.

[@sniperman1194]

I'll be real, I think people are sleeping on Kingler. An amazing stage 1 water tank with 120 hp, and for only 3 energy can possibly deal 160 damage, with a guaranteed 80 damage per attempt. The energy cost doesnt hurt as bad either with misty in the deck.

[@Jynx1368]

Kabutops is underrated! I like to switch it up & right now I love my kabutops deck. Yes, you have to have the fossil card & the two others but man 140hp Only needs 1 fighting energy & it heals every time it attacks. I love my hash slinging slasher boy. ❤
