I don't specifically try to collect promos, but I do have a few. I like the Delphox Ex card though, so if I get a tin, it'd be the Delphox tin.
Hmm yes, the Pyroar box seems interesting. I don't play, so I guess I could always trade away the holo trainer cards in it. Plus, it has two Flashfire packs, which is a plus for me.
So I've been gone a while need some help.
I just bought my first tin since the black and white base set. So yeah it's been quite a long time. So in out of the loop need a few quick pointers
So I got a Mega kangaskhan and it's all gold and 109/106
So this is obviously the super rares now what are the names given to these supers in terms of discussion purposes?. Also what is the pull rate of these gold mega cards.
Also is he any good now I can't investigate every card since I've been away there's just too many. Simply is it playable (don't have the EX yet)
And finally if I was to buy a booster box bearing in mind if have very very few legal cards now apart from my 1 tin. What would be the best box to buy. In terms of giving me the most staples and best pokemon. Maybe give me the best 2 boxes.
I thinks that's all for now oh and is mega evolution same as evolving? So I could use an Evo soda on them?
Ooh and one more thing. Can someone tell me what the best trainers are rigt now just like basically what are the staple trainers right now. Just names will do I can investigate myself unless you don't mind telli what they do.
Thanks very much and hope to get right back into this game. Missed it so much.

RE: So I've been gone a while need some help.
From what I have experienced, they tend to be one every other booster box (36 packs).
2. N
3. Ultra Ball
They are called Secret Rares.daviduk2000 said:

Hmm... This is a tough one. It all depends on what kind of deck you're looking to build, really. Plasma Blast is a pretty lackluster set other than Virizion EX and Genesect EX, but it has Ultra Ball, for example. If you're looking to make a deck, you're usually better off buying singles.daviduk2000 said:
Yep, but in case you don't know, Mega Evolution ends your turn.daviduk2000 said:
1. Professor Sycamore/Juniper (they both do the same thing, but Sycamore is newer. Note: You can't use 4 Juniper and 4 Sycamore, or 2 Sycamore and 2 Juniper, it has to be one or the other.)daviduk2000 said:

Yes you helped a lot thanks. Just need some more insight on what booster box to buy as me and a mate are going to half one. I probably wouldn't got for plasma anyway since I really didn't like the actual plasma cards with blue borders it actually really bugs me and my collecting side.

Well if you want a chance at that Kangaskhan EX so you can use that secret rare M. Kangaskhan EX (which I envy that pull btw) then Flashfire is something you would want to invest in. Alot of the fairy stuff though is in XY. It really does depend on the deck you want to make, but I'd say most currently XY and/or Flashfire. This is also an instance where singles may not be a bad idea too. Several sites have those so it shouldn't be too hard to find.

From a collector's standpoint, Flashfire might be the way to go because of all the Charizard cards in it. Other than that though, there isn't tons of playable stuff. Like I said before, you can't really build a competitive deck using just one set.
I want to get back into the game after about a year break, what deck will be good post rising fist. I'm thinking something that can abuse mew two will be good, just need to find out what else...
So my local store is selling the plasmid blast? (Genesect) elite trainer box for £30 which for here is great value. Just wondering if it's worth it though. Is the set good? Or I can just put an extra £5 towards an XY box

Plasma Blast is a very good set, and the Elite Trainer Box comes with some really nice stuff, so I'd say go ahead and get it if you want to.

If you go online they are about 50$ without shipping. So you are basically buying it without the shipping. Plasma Plast is most likely going to stay in this format for a while, and also a very good set. It also comes with a lot of really nice goodies like a deck box, sleeves, Dice, and a players guide.
XY will stay in the format longer, and has a good amount of trainers and pokemon that are fairly good.
Thinking about buying a booster case, but not sure if I should preorder a Furious Fists case or get a Flashfire one before the price goes above retail. Also, is it worth getting booster cases? What are the chances I break even if I sell all the extras?
PTCGO what to buy?
hey guys i have 600 coins just sitting in my account, what PTCGO booster pack do you guys recommend i spend it on?
thanks!

What cards are expected to go up with the new extended format? I'm looking to potentially pick a bunch of that stuff up before it goes up. I figure anything from older decks like Eels, but I didn't play much back when those older sets were legal so my knowledge of what was good is somewhat limited.
Price is no real issue, but let's keep it below 100 dollars.
