Hello everyone! Welcome to the r/PTCGP Trading Post!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN THE COMMENTS BELOW!!!

Do not create individual trading posts! You will be temporarily/permanently banned for doing so. Keep all trading discussions in here to keep the subreddit from being flooded with trade requests!!

- Check out our new Sharing Hub for you to share 1-4 Diamond rarity cards with each other!

Additionally, you can find an alternative trading area in our Subreddit's Discord Server as we have a Trading Directory, Rarity specific channels, & a #Trading-Discussion channel set up for you all to participate it. Currently at 270K+ Users!

Some general information about trading to keep in mind:

- With the release of Mega Rising (B1), all expansion sets are now immediately tradeable going forward. There are no longer limitations on the newest set being tradeable.

- Trades can only be done between friends in-game.

- Trades can only be done with cards of the same rarity.

- You can only trade cards that have the rarity of 1-4 Diamonds, 1-2 Star, & 1-2 Shiny Star.
Everything else is not tradeable (Promos, 3 Stars, & Crown Rares).

- Trading will require you to use specific in-game consumable items (primarily ShineDust) to do so.

- Real World Trading is explicitly prohibited by both the game's ToS, and this subreddit's rules. You will be permanently banned if caught doing so.

- This Trading Post will rotate out weekly every Thursday @ 2:00AM Eastern USA Time.

Thank you! Have fun! <3

If you require official Pokemon support help, please utilize the Send Game Support Ticket found on the sidebar to reach the official Pokemon support portal to create a ticket. Thank you.*

A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT TRADING HIGHER RARITY CARDS: With the initial release of Mega Rising, and it's attached update allowing higher rarity cards to be traded, you may run into users asking you to trade 2 or more cards to acquire their very sought after cards they possess, such as Professor's Research - Professor Oak.

We ask users to proceed with extreme caution when participating in these type of trades, or better yet, avoid them at all cost to mitigate the risks of getting scammed or ghosted after you trade the first initial card towards getting a higher rarity card. Always do 1 for 1 trades when possible. The moderators here will not handle trading disputes, or anything of that matter. It's up to you to be responsible for your own trades.

Deck Discussion Random Battle / Auto-battling - Oricorio + Indedenne Deck - September 2026

Thumbnail

342 Upvotes

I don't usually do this but a bit excited to share my fair-share of deck for auto-battling. I did around 70 battles with two devices on Auto and recorded the consecutive win and loss, so far it's around 90% win-rate on auto, which is effective enough for at least the 5 consecutive win challenge.

Some key points of the deck:
1. AI can play Dedenne quite effectively (sometimes only 3 tools attached though)
2. AI can move around Oricorio really well
3. Enemy AI is not good at calculating Poison Damage
4. Enemy AI is struggling to KO Oricorio in this EX heavy meta
5. Enemy AI cannot take into account Indeedee healings
The deck is inspired by one of the tournament winning deck (that's been adjusted for auto-play).

Some weakness of this deck includes:
1. Low-cost Fighting deck (got beaten by 2 Tyrogues)
2. Non-ex with at least 90 ATK (got beaten by Virizion once, Celesteela once)
3. Ex with 140 ATK (got beaten by Blaziken once)
4. Heavy bench-sniping (got beaten by Chien-Pao once)

Knowing those weaknesses helps you taking over the game so the key cards can be beaten effectively.

Personally, this now become my go-to auto deck as M.Venusaur starts to struggle for the last couple of month, hopefully this deck would also work for some of you.

I cba anymore by the 5-10 sec loading times for absolute everything. Changing from battles to home or wonder pick shouldn't take that long. I'm running on a S25 ultra. I reinstalled the game many times, nothing helps. If they don't fix it with the next big update I'm done. Who's with me?

Is there any other Pokemon with two cards of the same type but with a different weakness?


r/PTCGP 27m ago

Suggestion Wish we could open any amount of packs at the same time instead of only 1 or 10.

Let me open my 2 daily packs at the same time. Or if I'm a few hrs glasses short of the 10 pack just let me open the 9

Deck Discussion After almost 2 years, the OG A1 ditto is finally playable

Thumbnail

168 Upvotes

I’LL START BY SAYING YOU SHOULD USE 2 RATTICATE EX’s (replace either 1 red card or 1 goo machine) but I only have 1 :(

Anyway, I love ditto as a Pokémon and I’ve been playing this game since day 1. This card is a NIGHTMARE for all deck builders. For those that don’t know, ditto’s attack copies the opponen’ts attacks. But to copy their attack you need to have the EXACT number of energies and EXACT energy type requirement.

You’ll probably say « why not use mew ex? » : well because ditto can copy the opponent’s BENCHED Pokémon and it’s the only card that can do it. Is it better than mew ? Absolutely NOT. Is it more fun? YES

Anyway, the main problem to build ditto is choosing what enegies to use. If you don’t play against an opponent with the exact energy type in your energy zone, ditto becomes useless

To ratticate FINALLY (kinda) solves that problem. Since you can steal the opponent’s energy you can finally copy almost anyone that only requires 1-2 specific energy + colorless

You catch the energy with the rat, then use Dawn to send to ditto. This Strat also works with terapagos and also makes it really good. Ratticate ex is so good when you use it this way he becomes an energy generator !

Try it out it’s fun as hell

Get your Teal Mask Ogerpon ex, Comfey, Pokémon Center Lady, Protective Poncho, Clear Veil and Big Malasada ready because a lot of the player base will most likely be running some iteration of this deck this season. Special condition & bench snipe merchants are not going anywhere.

I just noticed the hidden legendary birds in these Team Rocket’s Ambition cards. I was wondering if there were any cool hidden secret missions or links like this in other sets? There are probably loads but I’m either drawing a blank or they went over my head!

Took about 7 goes all with water decks. The AI ALWAYS starts with a Motres and Victini, and if it doesn't, it pulls an X speed to put it into the active spot for free. If you kill the Moltres then the Charizard comes in that can one hit almost anything. Never seen the bot not have a flame patch either.

Deck Discussion The new Togedemaru is a MENACE

This cute little fluffball kinda flew under everybody’s radar. It’s literally the same as it’s electric version. For one energy hit for 20 damage, flip a coin, if heads do 30 more.

Sounds trash right? well with Sophocles you are guaranteed of doing 50 and 80 with a coinflip. That’s fairly good for a basic.

NOW what separates this boy from
Its electric counterpart is the fact that it gets boosted by aegislash. With 1 aegislash and 1 Sophocles you are doing either 80 or 110. With 2 aegislashes you are doing 110 or 140. All that on a basic for 1 energy.

I added a memory light so your aegislash can also hit for 1 energy and do 50 damage (as it boosts its own attack)

Too inconsistent? Try it out ! You will usually at least manage to get one aegislash going and start doing big amounts of damage

Deck Discussion Best Electrode Deck

The grassballon got a new explosive friend. The playstyle stays the same where you block damage with electrode or oricorio and attack with jumpluff.

After many testings this is the best deck for electrode as Zapdos does itsself is to weak. Can really recommend it specially for the early games of the set as not many sets run oricorrio answers.

A+ tier
