Help The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

What is your budget? My favorite consistant deck besides volcanion right now is quad lapras which is only about 60-70 dollars to build from nothing and works great so idk. Yveltal has died down a lot with counter being made for it but it is a consistant and good deck just not being played i would recomend playing yveltal with tuaros and wobbufett because soon garb will become a bad option with feild blower. If you really want to play yveltal, but the meta is very open right now until rotation.
 
Hey guys!

So I have a huge store-credit at my local card shop and I have the option to buy a booster box. The problem is I don't know which box to get. I'm content with the deck that I have and honestly, I would not mind turning my booster box purchase into some cash. With that said, which one of these boxes would rack me up the most cash?

From Primal Clash all the way to Guardian's rising. The only one they don't have is Generations.

Thank you in advanced!

Go with Guardians Rising or Roaring Skies for cash, Tapu Lele GX is worth a lot in Guardians Rising, Shaymin EX in Roaring skies.

DEFINATELY GRI, also GEN didn't have a booster box so that's why they don't have it (it was only in the 20th anniversary products)

Just to clarify, when you say GRI you mean Guardians Rising correct? Sorry, I'm a fairly new player and I just want to make sure since I don't know a lot of the Pokemon TCG acronyms.
 
Hi everyone, just looking to get back into the game after about 5 years. I dont really have a budget, but i know there is a possible rotation coming. What would be the best stuff to buy right now? To get competitive again? Should i just get the newest sets? What about tins, starter decks, and combos? Thanks in advanced.
 
Hi everyone,

New user and returning player here that's looking for help with a couple of things.

Firstly, I was wondering how I'd be able to get my hands on a couple of Team Magma's Secret Base for use online, so either an online purchase I can make or a real-life one that comes with a code.

Also, I'm a bit confused about the online contents of the Alola Legends Tins. In real life it clearly states you get the Lunala/Sogaleo GX card itself, plus 4 booster packs (correct?), but it also says that you unlock an online deck. But which online deck is it? Using the Lunala Example, is it the deck I've copied and pasted into the spoiler tag below, or the Lunala Theme Deck that's at the top of the Pokemon TCGO shop? I was under the impression that the only decks you could "unlock" online were the theme decks, and the theme deck in question doesn't actually feature Lunala GX? Quite keen to get that card on the online game.

Qty Card Set Coll. #
3 Cosmog SUM 64
3 Cosmoem SUM 65
1 Lunala GX * SUM 17
1 Lunala GX SUM 17
1 Kangaskhan SUM 99

hey,
i want to buy a Luxray break and a zoroark break.
would it be the best to just go to pokemoncardmarket or another website like this?
(i actually love opening boosters :3 )
 
I want to get back into the game but probably after rotation so my deck won't be useless.
Budget is $300 (If thats not enough for any top teir deck then i'll add more)
Stopped playing before Primal Clash onwards.
 
if anyone is in orange county and is looking for cheap pokemon product, i have a place, and get this, its a discount store. they are well stocked and dont even charge tax. "big" boxes (like mega and the 3 gx boxes) go for 20, elite trainer boxes are 28, booster boxes are a little off the steep end at 90, tins and ex boxes are 16, and singles are average price. please do keep in mind that this isnt a card store, but a discount store. here is the location:
9900 Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92804
 
Hello everyone,
I want to get a few Sun/Moon (or Guardians Rising) cards, especially GX, because I have only one (Sylveon). What should I buy? Would it be wise to buy singles or should I buy booster boxes? I actually like to open packs but if I pay money for a collection and pull only normal cards...

Singles will be the more cost effective route. You get what you want without the fluff. Opening packs is fun but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're flush with cash. I usually buy a few packs once a month and maybe a box or two once or twice per year, max. I like to play competitively so I don't have the time or the money to fiddle around with gambling on acquiring specific cards I need to build decks.
 
Hellos everyone!

Burning question... Pun-ish me if you will! o_O I APLOLOGIZE FOR NOTHIIIIIIING!

What are y'alls' thoughts on pre-ordering singles? I know prices are inflated based upon anticipation for specific cards (i.e. Gardevior GX, Golisopod GX, Guzma, etc) but we widely know that these cards will be good in one form or another which means the price will likely go up as time goes on.

Do you all like the idea of pre-ordering and paying the premium or waiting a few weeks for the price to "stabilize" (which may or may not be a gamble)?
 
Good morning/evening everybody.
Price Range: N/A
What you are thinking of buying: Booster packs or Single GX cards.
So basically theres this shop that has Guardians rising for sale for 1 euros. Its a pretty well known shop and it wouldn't sell fakes due to it having a really good name. Was thinking of going in to buy around 15 to see if i could get anything (really want tapu lele). But I also thought about it I could just buy the it on cardmarket and just throw in another 15 to actually get the card guaranteed. But idk I feel like its a really good deal for the packs, what do you guys think?
