Seeing as some people here play it, I thought a topic would be appropriate.

http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/play-online/

that´d be the link for anyone who is curious.

I only started playing yesterday, but I am having a blast. This is probably the game I´ll spent alot of time on until BFR is released.
Deck building guide for anyone starting out :

I've been playing the game since March I think.

It's a nice game to spend some time on, but I only play occasionally mostly only Versus-Mode with Theme Decks.

I can give you some tips, if you want:

There are currently only 12 Theme Decks available in the shop (yesterday there were 9 more I think...)

Anyways, there are some that are really good and with others you need quite a bit of luck.

The Decks are (from oldest to newest):

- Earth's Pulse    ->    (Groudon)    ->    not yet used
- Ocean's Core   ->    (Kyogre)       ->    not yet used
- Aurora Blast     ->    (Articuno)     ->   mostly Birds -> hassle against electric type (Salamence is quite good if you can get him)
- Storm Rider     ->    (Zapdos)       ->   good if you are lucky enough (Dragonite is really good)
- Iron Tide          ->    (Metagross)   ->    Awesome
- Stone Heart     ->    (Regirock)      ->    quite hard to win with this imo
- Burning Spark  ->    (Raichu)         ->    only one Phase 2 pokemon
- Night Striker     ->    (Noivern)       ->    Awesome
- Electric Eye      ->    (Luxray)        ->    quite good with luck
- Wave Slasher   ->    (Greninja)      ->    not yet used
- Battle Ruler      ->    (Zygarde)      ->    Awesome
- Sky Guardian   ->    (Lugia)           ->    good, but quite diverse

 

You can add me if you want, IGN: Mazeth

 

Edit: I haven't really created a deck myself, so I can't give you tips on that, sorry.

I have played the greninja deck. It sucks. BUT If you play the Trainer challenge and win 7x with the water deck, you can create a pretty good mix with those 2 decks.

What do you mean by: "create a pretty good mix with those 2 decks" ?

Do you mean the basic Blue XY deck, where you get new cards if you defete the NPCs?

Yes. That together with the Theme deck is pretty strong. I have about a 70% winrate atm. It´d be higher if my one Break Greninja wouldn´t always be a price.

Yeah, the XY - Basic Blue Deck is really good. I used it for quite some time before trying out the other decks. Most of my opponents use that deck or the Dark Hammer Deck with Pangoro on the cover, but that one is not available anymore, I use that one quite often tbo.

Oh yeah, here are some Codes you can redeem, but they nearly all give the same deck so that you have the cards multiple times... Not very usefull imo, but free cards are always nice.

Normal Deck with a T-Shirt:
plasmastorm
boundariescrossed
flashfire
primalclash
phantomforces
pokmonxy
furiousfists

Hat
dragonsexalted
darkexplorers

For anyone having trouble with deckbuilding, this guide is insane. I run a deck build using it and it can compete with very good decks like Mega Mewtwo Ex.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pkmntcg/comments/4wnnk8/how_to_build_a_decent_beginner_deck/?st=ISVOA365&sh=3956e2a3

replace the Super Rod with Energy Retrival if you don´t have the rod.

Since I don´t have a second Lysander I also run a secong Energy Retrival.

 

My decklist would be:

Soooooo, It´s been a while since I last posted on this. And considering @EonBen maybe is gonna join aswell, I thought I´d post my most recent decklist. Which is supposed to show how fair this game is to free players. This deck can compete wiht the Meta and just destroys Mewtwo-EX. Well then, here is the list!

 

##Pokémon - 11

* 4 Gardevoir-EX STS 78
* 1 M Gardevoir-EX PRC 106
* 4 Xerneas STS 81
* 2 M Gardevoir-EX STS 79

##Trainer Cards - 37

* 1 Energy Retrieval PLB 80
* 1 Professor Sycamore STS 114
* 1 Pokémon Fan Club FAC 107
* 2 Skyla BCR 134
* 4 Trainers' Mail ROS 92
* 2 Professor's Letter XY 123
* 4 Gardevoir Spirit Link STS 101
* 3 Ultra Ball DEX 102
* 1 Lysandre FLF 90
* 4 N DEX 96
* 3 Fairy Garden FAC 100
* 3 Professor Sycamore BKP 107
* 1 Escape Rope PLS 120
* 1 Fisherman BKT 136
* 1 Pokémon Ranger STS 104
* 1 Switch BCR 135
* 2 Professor Birch's Observations PRC 134
* 1 Town Map BCR 136
* 1 VS Seeker PHF 109

##Energy - 12

* 12 Fairy Energy Energy 9

Total Cards - 60

 

I still need to get 2-3 VS seekers a Lysandre to get this deck kinda "finished". Why only kinda? Well, this deck would really appreciate a Shaymin-EX but those are just unbeliveably expensive atm. (25+ packs)

Considering I have only played for 10~ days this seems quite a good result for me!

you were able to build this up in only 10 days O___o quite impressive, I must say xD and yeah, shaymin is extremely expensive and with good reason since it's a really good card. Anywy, that deck is looking pretty good ^-^

and yeah, I might jus have to make me a new acc to start playing again, my old account only has outdated cards so I think it's better if I just restart XD (they're all back from BW) XD I'll let you know when I do here so you can add me to the list.

Well, I also own many more EX´s , mention worhty would be 4 Rayquaza EX ( 2 from ladder, 1 tradelocked from pack , 1 tradeable)

You get many packs from the trainer challenge(1 per enemy and 1 per theme deck you buy("killing" 11 differnt trainers will give you a pack, this only counts for basic yellow and theme decks you buy)) , from login rewards (after 3 days straight you get 5 packs to start you off) , one from the tutorial and from Quests, those can either reward Tokens or Packs.

I also won 1 Expanded tournament which gave me 8 packs, using a version of the deck with just 2 Gardevoirs and 1 Mega (MVP vs all 3 Mewtwo players). And multiple theme deck tournaments, for those Basic blue is your best bet. Get Articuno out early if possible and just keep searching your deck, once you get the hang of it, you are pretty unlikely to loose.

If you wanna play in Expanded every card from BW is playable there, and you get the new Free decks anyways. Btw, I think on the 22nd this month new Starter decks will exist. You should really try and unlock basic blue and basic green for play in the queue before that (just get 7 wins vs differnt trainers in the trainer challenge). Basic red is not as importatnt as basic blue  is the most popular, and you get all the cards the second you create your account.

 But you should really get that basic blue for Theme deck tournaments, it´s the second best theme deck there is. The best one (dark hammer) is unaviable to buy in the shop.

The only "luck" I had with this entire thing was me drawing the 3 Mega Gardevoirs I own from packs. But afterall, that was the reason why I wanted to build Gardevoir anyways (and because it is my favourite pokemon)

Well, that´s what worked for me anyways. First I wanted to build Greninja after pulling a break Greninja in my first pack. BUT I did not because I got insulted and had many ppl rage quitting on me because of it. Seriously I got many wins early on by having enemies quit on me after they saw a Froakie.
