Went to a cup yesterday with a friend. Played Gardevoir EX and went 2-2, 2-1-1 made cut but my opponent was 1-0-2 so they couldn't tie. I'm really getting the hang of this.

Is pocket fun? Mewtwo and Gardevoir are my favorite Pokemon. I might just dump money into it if it is enjoyable.

Didn't do good at the event last night, went 1-3 with my win being the bye. Got a lot of experience though. Gardevoir is good and I'm finally seeing how to play it.

Decided to go to my local stores challenge tonight.
Any advice? What's different from a normal tournament?
This is the same store I went to Sunday so I know the people.

Went to my first locals yesterday
Everyone was kind and helped me out
Some even gave me some playable cards I was missing
Excited to keep going. They have a challenge soon I might attend

Gardevoir EX is a lot of fun so far. I tried the other decks and wasn't having as much fun, so I'll stick with this. What youtubers are good for Gardevoir EX help?

Got to play some games on Live using the decks the give out
App seems nice as a new player!

Am I supposed to be able to use Forest Seal Stone when my opponent has Iron Thorns EX in the active? Or is it a bug?

Thank you for all of these resources, I'll have to check them out.
I'm giving a try to Raging Bolt and Gardevoir right now and I like them both a lot.
I used to play Magic, but I was super casual into Commander and nothing else for like 3 years.

Thanks everyone for the help
Looks like I'll be checking out Miraidon for the Mewtwo, Tera Charizard, and Gardevoir
I really feel welcomed here.

Oh I do like Gardevoir as a Pokémon, I saw it's deck also draws a ton of cards. I can check it out

Oh that's smart actually, I had wondered why it was in the deck

That might be good for me then. I'll check it out for sure.

A lot of people have suggested Miraidon and Bolt, but Miraidon can sometimes play Mewtwo, so I think I'll look into it

That's something I might draw up once I have a better understanding of the game. For now I kind of just want to figure stuff out, you feel?

I haven't heard of that deck before. Do you think it'd be easy for beginners?

My local store is actually running a challenge next week that I planned on checking out for the experience. I'll 100% look at Tera Charizard since you're the 2nd to suggest it.

Oh nice! I saw there was a Mewtwo in the deck so I was hoping it'd be good for beginners.
Thanks!

That's good to know about Lugia and Drago, my friend suggested that Lugia can carry new players pretty far so I'll have to keep it in mind.
They told me stage 2 decks might not be the best for newer players since it's harder, any advice on how to play it?

I'm a huge fan of mewtwo, but honestly any psychic types are cool to me 😎

Hey yall!
Name is James and my friend got me into the Pokémon TCG recently
What decks should I look into as a new player?
