Pokémon and its community shaped me into who I am today. I’ve found a passion for developing ways to make PTCG more accessible, and it’d be a dream to make this my full-time role. Here’s my pitch to work at TPCi: @teebs33 @Pooka311 @bsams23 @Mockfusion

y'all ranting about pokestats made me realize it'd be cool to mathematically determine the best deck for an event based on the meta spread (spoiler: it was sablezard for charlotte!)

Want to test the new format? Here's a folder with the top decks from Fukuako in English: Simply download the decklist(s) and play on . Also, PTCG-sim now supports decklist imports from Cube Koga! Happy testing 🥳

pokepuzzles are underrated—i highly recommend watching if you're looking to improve fundamental decision making and sequencing. love seeing the sim being used for this, in the future i'll add an import/export feature for games so you can build/analyze and share your own puzzles!

all the data is from pokestats (before y'all flame my mu %). simply calculated the sum of (deck usage * mu%) for each deck. i think this would be a cool feature to add to pokestats for forecasting/post-tourney reviews!

@panomics it’s just set to 50% mu for each deck against “Other”. obviously not very accurate, but pokestats doesn’t have the mu% for decks like roaring moon, goldhengo, snorlax stall, and some others yet

@estradabeatz 4/4 also, Igor ultra ball'd away skyla and juniper his previous turn, so he was certainly going to play juniper next turn, not N. in general i think it's marginal that Igor is more tempted to play N because you played colress rather than passed.
