I agree that Genetic Apex is not going anywhere, because not all players have a crap ton of money to throw at the game. So for those of us who don’t have a lot of money, trading is gonna be big.
im really happy they keep the missions easy to do, like how the game was designed to be bitesized battles and packs you can just log in every day to get :) the fabulous art makes it feel less of a cashgrab and more of an actual game with spirit! i hope it stays that way!
The planned promo would have been a normal charizard card, which is useless in battles. They switched to a moltres ex in order to sell more premium passes, as the moltres is a 2 off staple in any fire deck. We will probably get the promo charizard in some future event.
What card would i like to see in tcgp? Natu, Xatu. Something balanced and new for the psychic archetype. Natu could do something like Peck for 20 with 40hp 1 retreat cost, and then evolve into Xatu with 120 hp 2 retreat cost and give it a new move like Kinesis it would do something like 50 or 60 damage and the opponent would have to flip a coin and if tails their attack does nothing. Nothing too crazy but something fun to mess around with. Kinda like the new wheezing card.
I dig the holo cards, my only thing is i wish the holo was more visible without moving the card around. so seeing a holo charamander and squirtle is cool but you wouldn't be able to tell much
still waiting for sylveon and maybe some extra typings would be nice. sucks not having ground and fairy etc. some of my favorites are fairy type and with no fairy in the game they would be made psychic most likely, making it extremely unlikely to see anything like that for a long while since physic already got so much love in the first two sets.
Great video! I enjoy the info dumps The Shinedust in the shop is for your extra tickets. I have ended every event with extra tickets so I always convert into Shinedust afterwards Also I NEED the Goomy line in Pocket. I'll run it every match if they do.
Why call it Blastoise EX drop event if you giving a regular blastoise? At least give the usual ex version if not full art ex. I wasted so much stamina and pulling 3 Venasaurs last time before learning that EX version ain’t even in there…
@ then drop the ‘drop’ from the name and call it Blastoise EX event? Or like think of a new more generic name that is also meaningful. Cuz if you calling it Blastoise EX Drop Event then ppl be expecting that card like I did with before with Venasaur event but obviously not anymore..
Wow! Great to see we have a lot to look forward to. Really excited about that Pikachu Card! Hope we get trading with the new set, and I hope they expand the community page. Can't wait to collect the Blastoise and starter cards!
I don't think Mewtwo EX needs a nerf. The problem is Gardevoir. There's a reason there are no Mewtwo EX decks without gardevoir. It's because without it, Mewtwo EX is not that good.
I thought mewtwo ex is quite bad with the introduction of pigeoto and gyrodos ex. They can deal with substantial damage without as much setup and tankier.
I’d love to get Hoenn starters ASAP like Sceptile, Blaziken, Swampert, and then the likes of Milotic, Torkoal, but of course we can never enough of the Pikachu’s in this game…
I’m not getting my hopes up for trading. I just assume it will be a restrictive mess because everything else interactive between players is horribly executed.
@@Paulxl you can add friends but can’t request to battle or see if they are playing in the app, there’s no ability to message them either. This is a game that made 200 million in two months mind you it could be way more fleshed out.
well atleast the blastoist ex promo have good art and help people like me who havent got him a chance to build and try the deck, i have the point to trade for the ex card and having a thought decision choosing blastoise or venesaur
definitely make this a series, i watched a few of your other videos and the way you break stuff down is really impressive and this video was very very helpful and i would love to see more of stuff like this
Idk if anyone have commented this , but just in case nobody have seen the pattern with the monthly premium,the month we had Pikachu promo card we got mewtwo accessories, then mewtwo card pikachu accessories now moltres card with charizard accessories, so maybe they do February Charizard card with moltres accessories 🤷🏻♀️just me random guessing base on the pattern
february will have accessories from one of the banners from the full set releasing january 30th. we have moltres premium promo instead of charizard because they don't want the premium card to require other cards to use (the preevolutions)
The only thing relevant is that they are going to open up the secondary market with the trade section, nothing else really matters now at this point, rumor is they aren't....time is ticking.
Buy stardust when you bought everything. There's speculations about it's uses in trade. I hope not, but i go for it anyway whenever i feel like it, but NEVER as a priority.
Genetic apex probably won't cycle out until it rotates out. Theory is they will have rotations like the card game. But in 2 years nobody will be buying apex and people can trade for it. I think emblems for consecutive battles is more than enough. People have lives outside of this to grind against RNG luck. I got 4 wins max last time then ran out of time to grind or would just lose at 3/4 Everytime. So yea putting more rewards on consecutive is just insulting to those who don't have luck or time and would drive them away (which they are the people more likely to have and drop money)
12:13 Holy shit there'll be even more rare card than crown rare?? I didnt even get a single crown yet let alone that star of david rare or whatever it's called in English😂
the cards that grant extra energy is what makes celebi and mewtwo EX so broken. If they would remove abilities that do that and change misty's and sabrina's card to work selectively then Pocket would be balanced. maybe change Pikachu and starmie EX since you can do 90 on turn 3-4
Celebi isn’t really performing well in tournaments though. My Weezing/Scolipede deck beats it all the time same with mewtwo. It seems overpowered but it’s based on far too much luck to be consistent by any means. It’s just annoying being on the wrong side of luck against it.
This is great info! I've been missing 1 Kirlia and i still haven't gotten Beheeyem, so getting a chance to get them easier and for free is amazing news for me! New Snivy also seems better as it could now be used to do some initial damage from the get go. I am also excited for that Blastoise icon and the coin! I am still skipping free trial premium for the off chance they will give us something i like. Not a fan of mewtwo nor charizard.
They will be releasing a new pack. And here i am havent open a mystical island packs, still trying to get zapdos to complete my pika deck. Rest in peace f2p players
It's a very luck based game, as a f2p I got 226/226 and 66/68 dexes, and I have most meta decks complete, so it about getting it or not with the same amount of resources
@@Ssacky that's why I said it's very luck based, I also have friends who started the same time as me who got even better luck and others who are still missing a lot
I just want the new vaporeon cards from the mythical island set. All i want rn. And yet is get 3 RANDOM 1 STAR CARDS, 2 STAR LEAF GYARADOS AND CELEBI, BUT NO VAPOEON FULL ART. JUST LEMME FINISH MY HECKING EEVEELUTION COLLECTIONNNNNNN AHHHHHHHH Edit was to fix spelling errors, please yall help meee i need LUCK
I’m waiting for them to add the trading feature soon. I just got another Pikachu 3 gold star ex card (or an animated ex card as I call them). And I want to trade it for a 3 gold star Charizard ex card, which I haven’t gotten yet
I was about to exchange pack points for zapdos ex. I just needed 1 zapdos ex to make pika deck. Good thing I saw this video. Gonna be definitely trying it o get that zapdos.
DEFINITELY near the end of January. Unless you want to get the mewtwo items. Cuz then you have the opportunity to do both monthly missions. That being januarys and february
Weezing X Mew deck if you have those cards yet, is really really good. ❤ Give that a go for those pesky Mewtwo ex guys. Full deck video by Pokemadz sorry, thats where i seen it. Appreciate the effort! Please make more.
I agree that Genetic Apex is not going anywhere, because not all players have a crap ton of money to throw at the game. So for those of us who don’t have a lot of money, trading is gonna be big.
100%
@ like don’t get me wrong, having a lot of money and spending it on a game is not completely a bad thing.
I just hope trading is exclusive for premium users 🤣 jk but premium users have something exclusive like no restrictions
I mean, no money put in and I have everything I need. I just play though, not collecting everything of every type of art

Merry Christmas to tcg community
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎁

im really happy they keep the missions easy to do, like how the game was designed to be bitesized battles and packs you can just log in every day to get :) the fabulous art makes it feel less of a cashgrab and more of an actual game with spirit! i hope it stays that way!
We need the rest of the Eeveelutions: Umbreon, Espeon, Sylveon, Glaceon, and Leafeon! I’d also love to see Regigigas.
I've been saying this!! I wanna make a full eeveelution deck so bad (or at least sylveon and umbreon)
@@lateybird Bad idea. You can only have two Eevees.
I think the OG playing card art for charizard as a playmat woulda been so sick
The planned promo would have been a normal charizard card, which is useless in battles.
They switched to a moltres ex in order to sell more premium passes, as the moltres is a 2 off staple in any fire deck.
We will probably get the promo charizard in some future event.
probably the same as the blastoise and venusaur with a drop event and also the mewtwo and pikachu weren't ex
fire feels really weak right now
the logic isn't about competitive viability. they won't ever make a premium promo card that is an evolution. only basics.
Why is it called blastoise ex event if it have a normal blastoise
The expert bot uses an ex 🙃
They probably forgot to change it because the only drop event that was ex was Lapras.
Because the deck you'll be fighting against is a Blastoise ex deck.
What card would i like to see in tcgp? Natu, Xatu. Something balanced and new for the psychic archetype. Natu could do something like Peck for 20 with 40hp 1 retreat cost, and then evolve into Xatu with 120 hp 2 retreat cost and give it a new move like Kinesis it would do something like 50 or 60 damage and the opponent would have to flip a coin and if tails their attack does nothing. Nothing too crazy but something fun to mess around with. Kinda like the new wheezing card.
Knowing I'm getting 4 free Mythical Island packs, I'll focus more of my booster pack rolls on Genetic Apex for now.
I dig the holo cards, my only thing is i wish the holo was more visible without moving the card around. so seeing a holo charamander and squirtle is cool but you wouldn't be able to tell much

Also I NEED the Goomy line in Pocket. I'll run it every match if they do.
was missing moltres for my arcnine/fire deck collection, so this is a great news :3
Would you be able to get any info on when trades will become available Luke..?
Why call it Blastoise EX drop event if you giving a regular blastoise? At least give the usual ex version if not full art ex. I wasted so much stamina and pulling 3 Venasaurs last time before learning that EX version ain’t even in there…
It's called Blastoise EX event because the expert challenge uses a Blastoise EX deck
@ then drop the ‘drop’ from the name and call it Blastoise EX event? Or like think of a new more generic name that is also meaningful. Cuz if you calling it Blastoise EX Drop Event then ppl be expecting that card like I did with before with Venasaur event but obviously not anymore..
@@alirehman4858 I agree bro I'm just trying to explain
I'm guessing genetic apex will still be there, but you'll have to use stopwatches to open them. I have so many and have never needed to use them.
They are going to let u open any packs u want
Wow! Great to see we have a lot to look forward to. Really excited about that Pikachu Card! Hope we get trading with the new set, and I hope they expand the community page. Can't wait to collect the Blastoise and starter cards!
Genetic Apex or newer packs will not be disappearing, this was confirmed by a interview with a pokemon developer in a japanese article.
Ye it wouldn't make sense for newer players
Any news about the trade system? I wonder what kind of cards you can trade i think probably the crown is not available for trades.
Psychic outbreak is great for me as I'm missing one full line for gardy
I don't think Mewtwo EX needs a nerf. The problem is Gardevoir. There's a reason there are no Mewtwo EX decks without gardevoir. It's because without it, Mewtwo EX is not that good.
I thought mewtwo ex is quite bad with the introduction of pigeoto and gyrodos ex. They can deal with substantial damage without as much setup and tankier.
@user-op5vz5jw4p there are definitly counters to Mewtwo EX. The point is without Gardevoir, Mewtwo EX isn't all that broken as people think it is.
All the mewtwo i fight have gardevoir. Even with gardevoir, mewtwo isn't broken at all.
love this set, brings so much nostalgia!
I’d love to get Hoenn starters ASAP like Sceptile, Blaziken, Swampert, and then the likes of Milotic, Torkoal, but of course we can never enough of the Pikachu’s in this game…
I also love hoenn and i think we need to wait till hoenn releases for that
chill my guy the game just released, we are still making it out of kanto
More dark types for sure is needed
Why trading is not coming in this update
Coming in January next year!
I don't think anyone knows when it will be released.
I’m not getting my hopes up for trading. I just assume it will be a restrictive mess because everything else interactive between players is horribly executed.
@@trevorburton3290Why do you say it's horribly implemented?

if i could remove one card i think it would be....misty
well atleast the blastoist ex promo have good art and help people like me who havent got him a chance to build and try the deck, i have the point to trade for the ex card and having a thought decision choosing blastoise or venesaur
Still annoyed that I need steel cards for the premium pass and the new set doesn't even have one.
The psychic love is insane
definitely make this a series, i watched a few of your other videos and the way you break stuff down is really impressive and this video was very very helpful and i would love to see more of stuff like this

I really hope we get green merch and also a Red supporter card. With all this blue merch it makes me think surely we'll get Red.
I am so glad I do not have my second Zapdos yet. I have enough points to get one. But I’m glad I waited now. I can get something else.
Happy Holidays and Merry Pack Rips🎉
I subscribed because of this video. Please share more news, leaks, and monthly updates!
It be fun if they did type only decks for events
I agree! Also like 1 life event or no ex would be really fun, or legit anything besides the normal format 😐
Buy stardust when you bought everything. There's speculations about it's uses in trade. I hope not, but i go for it anyway whenever i feel like it, but NEVER as a priority.
I need that promo moltres ex. I can't pull that pokemon to save my life.
I got 2 moltres EX full Arts hehe
Genetic apex probably won't cycle out until it rotates out. Theory is they will have rotations like the card game. But in 2 years nobody will be buying apex and people can trade for it.
I think emblems for consecutive battles is more than enough. People have lives outside of this to grind against RNG luck. I got 4 wins max last time then ran out of time to grind or would just lose at 3/4 Everytime. So yea putting more rewards on consecutive is just insulting to those who don't have luck or time and would drive them away (which they are the people more likely to have and drop money)
Agree man. I hope they will make a ranked system based around % winrate
I doubt it is going to be a rotation.
@@blamelagg2340The game is meant to be causal. I doubt there will be a ranked mode.
@@Paulxl ye you're probably right
We need a evolution spray or a way to quick find evolutions or more pick up speed
It’ll need to be balanced
Great ball item would be nice. Pick a stage 1 pokemon from your deck. Kinda like pokeball for basic pokemon
@@blamelagg2340 that would be cool
12:13 Holy shit there'll be even more rare card than crown rare?? I didnt even get a single crown yet let alone that star of david rare or whatever it's called in English😂
I got a Pikachu crown card in my first pack I opened.😅
Great video !! What are the background music that you use ?
I know it won’t happen for a long time but a ceruledge ex would be cool
Yes, a wonder pick event with mew ex ! I was trying to get it !
I lost my mind trying to get 5 consecutive wins and now I have to do it all over again but against celibi??? I’m already stressed
Yeah, i didn’t even bother with that emblem
Merry Christmas,luke🎉🎉🎄
When will this be updated?
BTW,cat super cute❤❤
It would be great if we get this updates every month
Happy holidays everyone 🎉🎉🎉
I guess a Lugia is coming as a rainbow rarity
Bro i didn’t get the original pikachu promo after like 30 packs during that event im praying I can find a trade (i have 6 lapras exes)
did u get everything from the venusaur promo cause i'd love one of those fr fr
id love me a lapras ex, i didnt get one sadly 😭
@@JPusernamei have a shit ton of haunters if u mean the promo and not venusaur itself
I have extra venusaur/haunter/onix/jigglypuff if anyone wants to trade for venusaur event cards :D
@@JPusername i think i only got 1 venusaur but i have 6 greninjas and like 10 of everything else
When does trading comes? :
Next month
@Bunny-bo7gk what date next month

Isn't trading supposed to come out in January?
Last promo I got 30 promo packs and 0 Greninja. Hoping for a lot better luck this time around
That's rough. I got 4 in 37 packs
I did buy star dust now I have 10 extra tickets nothing to buy it you do bonus most time they get tickets
Can you explain the timing of when to use the free promo trial? I’m still a little confused 😅
Use it a day before the current premium rewards expire and the new ones come in. That way you’ll
Get both
I just want an increase on the deck slot. 15 is too few imo with all these possible decks that could be created with the new expansion
This is great info! I've been missing 1 Kirlia and i still haven't gotten Beheeyem, so getting a chance to get them easier and for free is amazing news for me!
New Snivy also seems better as it could now be used to do some initial damage from the get go.

Great video man keep it up
They will be releasing a new pack. And here i am havent open a mystical island packs, still trying to get zapdos to complete my pika deck. Rest in peace f2p players
I got 63/68 took me 4 days as a f2p player. If you do all the solo missions you can get good chunks of rewards to open packs and wonder picks.
It's a very luck based game, as a f2p I got 226/226 and 66/68 dexes, and I have most meta decks complete, so it about getting it or not with the same amount of resources
Well not all f2p players luck is on their side🤷
@@Ssacky that's why I said it's very luck based, I also have friends who started the same time as me who got even better luck and others who are still missing a lot
Well all know its luck based from the beginning, and if you dont have that in opening packs you will struggle keeping up with the meta. Thats my point
When will mythical island go away? I thought it was just released 😢
Its not going anywhere atleast for a few months
If I could get one card that’s not in the game (yet) I would love a flying Pikachu card with the balloons that has Fly for the nostalgia!🎈
any info on when trade feature will be released
I just want the new vaporeon cards from the mythical island set. All i want rn. And yet is get 3 RANDOM 1 STAR CARDS, 2 STAR LEAF GYARADOS AND CELEBI, BUT NO VAPOEON FULL ART. JUST LEMME FINISH MY HECKING EEVEELUTION COLLECTIONNNNNNN AHHHHHHHH
Edit was to fix spelling errors, please yall help meee i need LUCK
Funny because i got hit with 3x vaporeon full arts but have not a single Mew EX. They need to implement trading asap
the blue backdrop is kinda 🥵
I only buy stardust when i have extra shop tickets and bought all the other rewards 😂
I just got into this a few days ago. I’m going to subscribe cause you seem awesome
I wish they would remove the 3 energy limit. I want to make fun theme decks but can't smh
Why would you want that? I've seen dragonite decks fail because they didn't draw the right type of energy and dragonite only needs water and electric.
I opened 30 packs still did not get the venasaur promo😭😭 hope it doesnt happen with the blastoise card I rlly like it.
Thank you very much! It was very useful
Why not just make it 12 hours glass i need it for the new expansion 😂
That's exactly why they wont' do it. They want your money
I didn't get the Mankey with -20 each attack
I just want to know why I can’t use miles ex ability from the bench
If they are watching add trading already, by the time they put it on everyone else will have all the cards
I just want them to do somethin really cool and unique with the unknown.
Luke do u know when the trading will come out
They said around January
I’m waiting for them to add the trading feature soon. I just got another Pikachu 3 gold star ex card (or an animated ex card as I call them). And I want to trade it for a 3 gold star Charizard ex card, which I haven’t gotten yet
Steel types need more love it’s like my 2nd favorite type and they just forgot about them 😢
I was about to exchange pack points for zapdos ex. I just needed 1 zapdos ex to make pika deck. Good thing I saw this video. Gonna be definitely trying it o get that zapdos.
Star dust is the last thing u buy when all irems are no longer available lol
Thank you for this video! It’s been so confusing looking through Reddit trying to see.
For the free trial, would it work to wait until the end of January to claim full benefits for January and February? Or is it only for this month
DEFINITELY near the end of January. Unless you want to get the mewtwo items. Cuz then you have the opportunity to do both monthly missions. That being januarys and february
6:54 , Luke I haven't claimed my free premium trial but it says to pay the amount what should I do????
Absol would be the one card I want added
I don't autoplay the Solo challenge battles because I don't trust the AI to not do stupid things, and throw games and waste my time.
Doing this monthly (or as needed) would be awesome.
Hi Luke funny story my name is also Luke ahah love your videos keep it up ❤❤😊
W name 🤝 Merry Christmas g
@LukeRestifo OMG I CANT BELIEVE YOY REPLIED merry Christmas to you to 🤗
Got zapdos EX on that rare picks yesterday Hahaha
I already got the pokedex card go to battles then guide and do the missions their super duper easy
I would want an Infernape with Elite Four Trainer (Flint) Full-Art
I am waiting for a ranked mode or orher kind of ladder
Weezing X Mew deck if you have those cards yet, is really really good. ❤
Give that a go for those pesky Mewtwo ex guys. Full deck video by Pokemadz sorry, thats where i seen it.
Appreciate the effort! Please make more.
5:34 i consider this a challenge
I read comments from another channel stating that Genetic Apex is gonna be available only until April 2025. Thoughts?
Not happening. That would make the game completely unplayable for new players.
I want to see Zaican & more metal cards.
I want my dawg Lucario in the game ASAP. With fun synergy.
What’s the point of the lightning outbreak event? It’s cool that we get zapdos but what’s so special lol
Looks like imma be saving my time hour glasses for the next event any one else?
Rainbow rarity has to be a Ho-oh Ex surely...
