@TCGEvan @amcharles0 Bulu + 2 meganiums should be able to outpace them and force them to bench the big guy. make sure to save lanas/stretcher for it to make life easier.

@amcharles0 Is bulu enough for the crustle ?

made a better list🍏

@amcharles0 Meta manipulation goes both ways 😈

@prof_areson NOT approved 🤣

@amcharles0 And if you want a little better DP mu at expense of consistency with other good use cases: -1 energy -1 stadium/UB +1 rellor +1 rabsca

@amcharles0 -1 petrel -1 ultra ball +1 hoot hoot +1 noctowl

@nckster @rk9labs system lets you register for multiple regionals so don’t drop ur go spot until u know for sure you have the tcg spot. But once you do have both registered u have to communicate to them that you double booked and need to drop 1 otherwise they drop you from 1 at random i believe.

@prof_areson @rk9labs Yeah, buddy missed both waves of TCG but got into Go, we just want to make sure he isn't screwed of potentially getting a TCG spot. Refunding a secured spot to maybe get a TCG one is too iffy, that's why I figured I'd ask them for official word.

Attention #PlayPokemon competitors: Mark your calendars - there will be a limited re-opening for the Pokémon North America International Championships this Thursday.

@nckster @rk9labs Pretty sure we would have to manually request refund on the Go registration or at a minimum send them a message indicating which one to drop.

@rk9labs @rk9labs if someone is currently registered for Go, but wants to try to register for TCG would the Go reg be cancelled once they get a confirmed reg for TCG?

@amcharles0 @breadaholic71 @handwithglasses Yes and its pretty much our only win con against festival lead, festival leading them back. Coated attack not that good due to munkidori decks being present in a lot of big basic decks apart from like raging bolt it doesnt auto win much for you so festival lead more valuable rn.

@breadaholic71 @handwithglasses I actually think do the wave + only a 2 retreat is probably enough to make it better. Can KO 1 prizers much easier w a 1 prize board state

Why is hydrapple low key going crazy in Japan rn 🍎

@Keaton_ptcg @AVergara45747 Im running flutter mane for you next time 😎

Won a cup today with festival lead broken 60 +50 points to the lost zone +70 store credit -1 championship playmat Shoutout @AVergara45747 for playing the same 60 Shoutout @prof_areson for the finals and taking my playmat

@Nico_TCG @ZachBS_ Hmmmmm. Probably higher than 720 then. I forgot those in the top 125/135 that have regional wins/automatic invites don’t take up the spot.

@prof_areson @ZachBS_ Last year 700 points made it in US/Canada, and cups and challenges were capped at 4 each. The previous year when it was just a 600 pt threshold we had a BFL of 6

Less than two months till the end of the season, what do we think the NA invite threshold will be?

@ZachBS_ -40.5% increase in players with any CP from 2025->2026. -8% increase in spots from 125->135. -Last years floor was 724. -Points available from cup/challenge BFL decrease from 6->4 means 130 less points from locals. All factors considered I feel they balance out.

@ZachBS_ 720 floor

Bring back Gardevoir.

@kingdrec1out Thank you for including Hydrapple in your tier list 🙏🏼

My tier list headed into Prague! I have had a decent amount of reps with a ton on the list, some stuff hvnt played myself but tier kind of based on how bad I've beat it with Pult 😭😂

First cup win today. Had some misplays and got lucky in a terrible MU against Alakazam, but we take those. +50 cp and a potential push for late season Ace Trainer inbound? 👀

@AdamChoisTCG @Lonzi117 SO to @AdamChoisTCG for the list and the coaching I hope i made you proud.

@prof_areson @Lonzi117 Sounds like a cool guy gave u a good list 👀🤔 lolll

Cup win #4 +10cp. Joined the dark side. Made it cut somehow with a 2-0-3 record 🤢. Top cut games were fun. Watchtower was mvp for flareon and bumping area zero to remove two prizers late game. Ran a 3rd crispin because i only own one meowth. SO @Lonzi117 for being a homie.

@IppoDR The only time meowth is on my board is when its in active you might be onto something.

I think cards like Dawn and Brock’s are undervalued in dragapult rn How do you win the mirror? -have a developed board while under item lock -Get to dragapult swing boss faster then your opponent -not be the only one forced to bench meowth Dawn and Brock help you with this

@mrdarthbean @Lonzi117 Big Pika should have been kinder to the birthday boy

@prof_areson @Lonzi117 I would have won with these matchups 😭 Gg Mason

Fixed matchups i forgot what i played round 1 my b

@HaleObernolte 720-750

Anyone have an up-to-date outlook on what the NA CP cutoff for worlds is looking like it will be? Asking for a friend 👀
