I really enjoy playing the pokemon tcg nothing is better then a good pokemon card pack opening if the pokemon cards are worth money its even better. getting into a pokemon card battle is also fun. Of course playing the pokemon tcg is my forte! like how to build a pokemon deck and playing the pokemon tcg online is how I spend most of my evenings. Pokemon tcg tournament are also great and if you even need any help on how to play the pokemon tcg then let me know! Dont forget you can also open pokemon tcg pack online too! Ive never got to open packs with leonhart or randolph but hopefully will soon! Not pokemon vgc pokemon vgc online or pokemon tcg world championships. Building pokemon decks is very fun! watching other deck profiles and deck lists is very helpful - Ігри
Prize checking is very important, but DO NOT CHECK EVERY SINGLE PRIZE CARD. Even if it’s game 1 you don not want to waste a bunch of valuable time deducing your 6th prize card. Just check the important stuff for the match. For example in mew, Pokémon are important , but you probably don’t need to worry about quick ball or battle vip pass. And sometimes power tablets are important but against something like lost box you dont need to worry too much about them.
That's fair, i think if your learning to prize check at home you should get in the habit of checking for all six but in competitive play just check important stuff yes 🙏
It's more about what cards you do have than what you don't
7:06 The biggest thing I learned from this video is that there's resources like this to make it easy to print proxies of whole decks!! I'm only just getting back into the game after many years, so I don't have many copies of the staples, never mind the cards unique to each deck. Definitely a resource I'll be coming back to as I continue to work on my own builds and tweak what I've already got.
Limitless is amazing for that yes!
Great video! Something that helped me early on is not burning up resources too early or stacking your bench too early if it isn't necessary for the deck I'm playing.
Yep that's a fantastic point! 🙌
Thank you for continuing to create these super useful and well thought out video essays. As someone reasonably new to the competitive Pokemon TCG scene, your content has been amazing, and I feel it's had a hand in me improving. I hope to see you at EUIC to thank you in person! Much love, and I hope you keep creating content like this in the future 💙
So glad to hear it my friend! Definitely will be at euic! Looking forward to seeing you!
@BurtsPTCG Awesome, and to you! Hopefully I can pin you down, you move so fast! 😅
Haha i will be bouncing around ngl :p
@@BurtsPTCG I expect nothing less! 😂
My top 3 tips are as follows...
The best tip to give is to play along the meta. Rogue decks are generally not strong enough to constantly and consistently contend with the top threats. They are fun for local play or getting quick wins in a best of 1, but at a regionals it likely isn't the right call.
Another tip is to make sure the decks that are being tested against are meta. Some lists have some jank in it or just are suboptimal lists. Sometimes the player piloting the deck might not be super familiar with the win conditions of the deck either.
The last tip is practice only your chosen deck and only make small changes at a time if needed. that won't hurt the core engine or consistency of the deck. This last tip is crucial because most of the winning lists you will see from regionals are just 1 or 2 modified cards from an existing and well known list.
Solid tips most definitely! 🙏
Legit taking tips 2 and 3 every day since I’ve been playing zard ex on ptcgl. Deck went from that basic ptcgl list, to now it looking almost like 1st places lists minus 1-2 cards. Testing in causal mode has helped me understand more of what the deck can do, & it also helps when you misplay since you can learn from those.
Great tips 🙌🏻
Something else to add for testing and deck building is Tord's classic advice. For every single card changed you sold to run 30 games to actually be able to evaluate its effect.
Obviously for more casual players this is a bit much but generally sticking to only changing one card at a time between sessions is important. Otherwise you will end up easily losing track of your deck's consistency and gameplan if you are constantly making changes between games.
Fantastic, fantastic video. You’re really doing a service to newer players with this. I’ve been playing on PTCGO for years, but I’m hoping to go to some local tournaments in Scarlet and Violet, so this is super helpful.
Thank you so much :) I hope you can get involved with irl! :)
This is gonna help me a lot with major events moving forward and especially proxying 2 decks and playing them at the same time ,I know people have told me this in digimon as well Imma have to start doing this probably when the new season of pokemon starts over , awesome video brotha
That's great! Hope it goes well for you :)
I LOVE THIS. Any kind of how to get better style videos are always very basic. This is great for beginners, but I enjoy these more advanced tips
Glad you like it my friend! 🙌
Solid video! I enjoyed that you tied each concept to an irl example.
Always gotta have an example! Makes it much easier to digest :) appreciate your support 🙌
Great video man, I want to start getting more competitive with my playing so these tips are really good to know. I am a huge slacker when it comes to prize checking so I need to get on that lol. Keep up the amazing work man, your videos are always so awesome.
Honestly my regionals finishes were so much better when i started prize checking 🙏 Appreciate your kind support my friend :)
What a great video man, helped a lot. Your channel is truely goated
Aha thank you so much! Means a lot 🙏
One idea for you. Could you make a video advising on how to handle tournaments? There’s a big difference between playing with yourself or fiends, and playing in timed events with multiple rounds. A list of good habits to get into / things you can do to give yourself the best chance at succeeding at events giving CP would be really appreciated.
Oh that is a good idea! Will write it down :)
i have been doing pokemon for 5 years... WHY DID THIS NEVER OCCUR TO ME... u sir are an actual hero
😂 Your too kind! Glad you found it helpful :)
Have hisuian heavy ball and you can just look at the prizes
Haha ok this is true but your not guaranteed to draw into heavy ball early and you might prize it 😉
Fantastic video, really helping me keep an eye out for things as I start to get into competitive TCG!
Glad your getting invovled my friend! Let me know how it goes! :)
@@BurtsPTCG I'll keep you in the loop for sure! 😁
The not practicing enough. Something I learn from playing poker with friends is no matter how bad your hand is, play it out because you never know the outcomes. I see many players who start out with a bad hand or have a bad turn 1-2 and they scoop. Don't do it. Play it out. If you never noticed, Japanese players never scoop, they play every hand and every game till the end because you never know if you will top deck a card or if your opponent will misplay. Practice every hand combination out there and play to the best of your abilities.
Yeah! Seeing all possibilities and playing it out is so important!
That last tip gave me flashbacks to when I was in elementary school, except I used to play my decks against myself just because I had no one to play with since I didn't have an LGS. 😅
Haha 😂 i play against myself everyday for Euic prep! You've been onto a winning strategy since school! :p
I am from India and here tcg to people is just collecting and showing off. So I've been playing with myself ever since Battle styles came out
Aww wow battle styles!
Enjoyed this a lot. Well done, you!
I enjoyed this comment! Thank you so much! 🙏
amazing video, please keep making these king (:
No plans on stopping! Appreciate your support my friend :)
I feel the second one... In day 2 of utrecht I had a flower select where I had to decide between comfey and forest seal stone. I take the seal stone, bench my lumineon v and try to use seal stone... BUT I HAD ALREADY USED MY VSTAR POWER... if I had taken comfey instead I woudlve had game with the Kyogre combo which wouldve given me the 2-0 W. Cause we were short on time, the Match ended in a draw, while if I had just looked at my vstar marker I wouldve known what to do and what not to Do...
Aww no :( so sorry to hear that 😭
I think a good tip is to always have a gameplan every turn and what cards you need to accomplish said plan. This keeps you from randomly playing cards just because you can play them as well as finding the right pokemon at the right time with a search card or attaching an energy to the right pokemon. I'm new to the game and a lot of the time I will not have a follow up for next turn because I burned cards I really shouldn't have.
A lot of people play cards just for the sake of it and ur right It can come back to bite you later!
@@BurtsPTCG Exactly! I'm trying to take things more slowly. I guess I may put unnecessary pressure on myself to play fast though because I don't want the other player to get upset at me for taking my time to make decisions. Nevertheless I have a long road of improvement ahead of me which I'm excited about. Btw, thanks for being active in the comment section, taking the time to read and reply to us and providing us with quality content!
Will all come with practice for sure! You will get there! 🙌 And no worries champ! I love getting involved with comments! :)
as a newb i love this advice. top stuff mate.
Appreciate your support my friend! :)
Going to fort wayne as my first tournament in 10 years - is there bm rules on prize checking? Sorting every card feels like my turn would take 4 minutesish, or is it just practice?
I would keep practicing so u can get that time down, but for Fort wyane i would only check the important stuff like supporters and pokemon etc 🙏
Another good tip is to watch games of top players and learn from them and watch videos to stay updated about the meta
That definitely works too!
can't believe johnny didn't share Tip 4 with you!!
What's tip number 4?!
Tell ya in London ;)
Can't wait 😈
Always been interested in the Pokémon TCG but I have no idea what route to go to get started.
I have a video titled "how to build your first deck" that should help you get invovled :)
@@BurtsPTCG I’ll check it out. I’m wanting to build a deck but I’m leaning towards buying a store bought one first to learn. Your videos are awesome and very informative. As I mentioned I typically like going against the meta and giving folks a hard time lol.
excellent video
Ayo appreciate you! 🙌
My biggest issue is testing/playing on TCG Live, and I will have 5+ games in a row where I absolutely tank my starting hand, and will dead draw for the game, mean while my opponent is having the time of their life finding everything they need :( Makes me think their draw algorithm isn't particularly good, or is it just me?
I don't use ptcg live any more and doubt i ever will! Just play irl against myself and friends. It's a Shame but live is that bad 😂
@@BurtsPTCG I'm happy your situation allows you to play IRL with people, I no longer know anyone that I see regurarly that play, so online it is :D
No local leagues?
@@BurtsPTCG There could be, issue is language barrier in the country I live in currently, I don't speak the local
You’re allowed to take notes like that during a match in Pokémon?
Yep as long as there is no notes before the start of the game. So i just rip the page out after each round 🙏
@@BurtsPTCG that's great to know! Thank you!
Where are the European competitions streamed? I watch the US competitions here on UA-cam, but the time difference can suck, so if prefer to watch the European competitions instead. Thanks.
Limitless_tcg on twitch 🙏
@@BurtsPTCG thank you so much!
Might see me on a couple of them haha :p
Legends just play daisy's help 😂
That would definitely work! So would heavy ball too :p
Who else tried to use his card on his phone to buy Pokémon cards
Worth a try eh! 🤣
How fast can you do the prize checking though?
First look through I check for pokemon then second deck search I look for supporters/ace spec so not that long really!
@@BurtsPTCG breaking it into two searches sounds good
Yeah probably a, safer way to do it at premier level events 🙏
@@BurtsPTCGthe first search you get 2 minutes before it's slow play. But after the first search it's only 15 seconds. So if you don't take too long, it should actually be safer to do it all on the first search in big events.
how do you tie in a pokemon game
If one player hasn't one two games by the time the round has finshed (normally 50 mins)
Aren’t opponents allowed to read our notes if we take them?
No
Nope but a judge may request to read them so they have to be legible. So no codewords or anything like that. As a rule of thumb i just write down my prize cards and any weird cards i see my opponent play 🙏
Y’all play alone to become champs I play alone because I’m lonely. We are not the same
Aww don't say that 😭
Replace the tedious notepad writing with single symbols for each card. Count the cards in each category while searching to know what you are missing. For most decks, a full search is not necessary. See where you can cut corners to save time and energy. Items for example can be checked later in the game in most decks
Your not aloud to write symbols or codes during comepetive play only words its in the rulebook unfortunately
@@BurtsPTCG Uh, I didn´t know and so far no judge approached me on it... but I guess now I know
Yeah better be careful cause itcsays it in the rulebook! 😭
typo in your NOT "PRACTING" ENOUGH title 6:32
Oh my goodness
What happened to the hotchoc ptcg channel name?
Slight Rebrand! 🙌
As simple as tha… poor t
T couldn't keep up clearly 🤣
