Mastered #63! Saw a recommendation for the following deck to have an easier time and it worked wonders for the 10 wins challenge.

1x Zapdos LV68

4x Professor Oak
4x Bill
4x Energy Search
4x Energy Removal
4x Computer Search
2x Pluspower
4x Defender
4x Item Finder
2x Gust of Wind
4x Potion
4x Super Potion
4x Full Heal
2x Gambler
4x Recycle

11x Lightning Energy

Great game I never got to experience. The achievements made sure to make the most of what the game has to offer. On to the next!

Easy set and also fun. A very relaxing set.
Only issue is the card grind, really. You can either knock it out ASAP and try to get a big pool of cards to work with or do it post game. I did the former to experiment with each Club. I would recommend using the Down+A glitch with the occasional save backup to cut down on time. It's not bad, just tedious since you're chasing Rares.
For the Pokemon Dome's last five duels, I used Electabuzz/Scyther/Chansey/Lickitung and had an easy time with each of them. Some Basics are incredibly strong, even up until that point.
For the post game Duel Machine challenge, I did it in two tries with the Lvl 68 Zapdos deck. I got very bad RNG with coin flips on Duel #10 against Courtney and her Magmar's Smokescreen.
Riverwind 31 Jan 2025 23:16
26th game mastered, just in roughly 23 hours, one of my fastests masters. Really love this game, a lot.
Cooperwithacamera 12 Feb 2025 21:49
Mastered! Definitely grind for the cards required for building the haymaker deck (with a few added full heals for poison/paralysis cards)
forestcreature 21 Feb 2025 08:45
mastered! took me under 24 hours according to RA, but i don't actually know how true that is. ended with 3,695 cards. really vital to have a good deck, or have the instant-duel-end glitch on-lock. (down+b+a when attempting to view your main or leftmost bench pokemon, kind of scuffed.)

my endgame deck consisted of:
4x scyther
3x electabuzz lv35
1x tauros

4x bill
1x energy retrieval
4x energy search
4x energy removal
2x switch
3x pokeball
4x pluspower
4x defender
4x potion
2x recycle

8x grass energy
12x lightning energy

other cards i used on the way to glory include kanghaskan (two double colorless and you can sweep pretty reliably, but takes some setup), nidoking line (50/50 risk on nidoran but pretty good once you get 3 energy and evolve to max), exeggcute (para/sleep mix is pretty nice and i have run this in other ptcg games), and meowth (lvl15) and persian (just pretty nice overall attack range for not too much energy).

i had a blast finally playing this one. i think it's crazy they had a run button in this one. i also really really enjoyed the pixel art, both in the card art and the opponent portraits (those might have been my favorite). lots of cute character design. the dialogue was fun too.

thank you for the awesome set, mickyt888!
AmpleSalty 22 Feb 2025 20:15
My first master! Only iffy parts were having to restart on other devices to get the Aaron related ones to unlock, plus having to grind to find a Clefable for the trade. Other than that though everything was pretty straight forward.
LevelX 28 Feb 2025 16:40
Mastered. Took a while to grind the last few rare cards, but got there in the end.

Mastery #4
Why on earth did that pidgeotto take so long to find???
Moopkins 4 Mar 2025 19:41
Mastery #6. A relatively straightforward and chill set, but the grind for the last few cards is pretty time consuming.

Flip the coin, the game
theelkspeaks 25 Mar 2025 20:46
I slowly built towards this deck over the course of the game, notable options while you're building toward this include Kangaskhan, Lapras, and the Poliwag line. Once you get this deck fully online, you are favored even against electric/grass opponents unless you get an exceptionally bad draw, and even then, the Search, Bill, and Oak give you plenty of shots to draw your way out of any troubles.

4x Squirtle
3x Wartortle
3x Blastoise

4x Seel
4x Dewgong

4x Magikarp
4x Gyarados

3x Professor Oak
4x Bill
2x Computer Search

25x Water Energy

Build any fully evolved water type with three water energy and you can sweep almost everyone in the game, Blastoise on 5 energy or putting the 4th on Dewgong/Gyara to fish for paralysis is sometimes correct.

Don't be afraid to draw like crazy even if you are throwing away several cards with Oak; you will always find more gas if you just keep drawing.

Discarding your last two cards in hand (other than computer search) to search just to dig up an Oak is an extremely powerful play and one you'll end up doing a lot, along with using search to dig up which ever member of your fully evolved lines you need to find.

Just finished. Haymaker deck destroys this game lol.
Rensie 2 Apr 2025 23:05
Can as well say mastered, currently on 225 cards with just Lass not finding her way in any of the hundreds of laboratory packs won. But i should get it eventually (right???).
gamerliko 2 Apr 2025 23:07
@Rensie haha lass was the same card that took me forever to get
LevelX 3 Apr 2025 05:43
If I remember right, my last card was Clefable. bumped the play time up a few hours compared to everything else. There's always just that one isn't there?
Rensie 4 Apr 2025 23:47
Update: Finally mastered (#1). I was a pokemon TCG tournament player around the time the sets in this game were current, so my first mastery title could only be this! I completed the second title in the past and that hardcore mastery certainly won't be as smooth if they keep the mew coinflip thing in.
ChiiniiTheComet 5 May 2025 19:46
Mastery #123!

Pretty fun, considering I already knew how to play the TCG but never had anyone to really play with when I was little-

Chansey lived up to its reputation for me, last non-trade card I managed to find. I hate Chansey-
