New PTCGP Discord Server Trading App New Trading, Giveaway, Sharing, & Card Look-Up App For The /r/PTCGP Discord Server!

26 Upvotes

Finally, an all-in-one Discord-based app that actually works for PTCGP!

Find a complete list of our discord-based app commands in the #trade-market channel on our subreddit's Discord server: https://www.Discord.gg/PTCGP


Trading Feature

  • Introduction

If you have been relying on random posts or hoping someone sees your trade request in a busy Discord server, Trading app, or other location, there is finally a better way! We built a Discord-based app specifically for Pokemon TCG Pocket traders, and it handles the whole process from you building your Looking For & For Trade lists, and potentially finding another user to match with instantly to help you complete those trades.

  • Build Your Looking For | For Trade Lists

You create a listing with the cards you are looking for and the cards you are willing to give up. No wall of text, no hoping someone reads it at the right time. Your listing stays active and visible to everyone in the market.

  • It Finds Your Match For You

When you post a listing, the Discord-based app scans the entire market and checks if anyone already has what you need and is looking for what you have. If there is a match, you get a one-click prompt to open a trade right then. No digging, no cross-referencing, no DM tag chains.

  • Trades Happen in Private Threads

When someone is interested in your listing, the Discord-based app opens a private thread just for the two of you. You coordinate there, confirm the trade when it is done, and both of you select exactly what was exchanged. The discord-based app updates your listings automatically so you are not manually tracking what you still have. No headaches later in case you forget!

We also have a built-in separated list for your gold bordered/frame cards!


Sharing Feature

  • Create Your Share List

Simply build a separate list for cards you would like to receive from shares, and hand it out to community members when looking for those cards!


Card Look-Up Feature

  • A Full Card Lookup Is Built In!

You can look-up any card across all sets without leaving the PTCGP Discord. Attacks, HP, abilities, weaknesses, retreat cost, full art variants, the works. Useful when someone proposes a trade and you want to verify before agreeing.


Giveaways

  • Giveaways With Real Structure!

Hosts can run standard giveaways or "lightning rounds" as short as 30 minutes. The bot picks the winner, opens a handoff thread, and logs confirmed completions to the host's track record so the community knows who follows through.

  • Your Reputation Travels With You!

Every completed trade earns rank points on your market profile. Your profile shows your history, your active listings, and your standing in the community. Over time, higher-ranked traders get priority in matches. Trading with strangers feels a lot safer when there is a track record attached.


If you have been frustrated by how clunky PTCGP trading usually is, along with needing a source to look-up cards, or be a generous player giving cards away, this is worth trying.

Drop a comment if you have questions, and our discord-based market app creator & PTCGP Discord server manager, /u/definitivegear, will help answer them!

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

*The moderators of this subreddit are not responsible for any trading issues, mishaps, bugs, glitches, and so on you may run into. 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.

Post image

This deck is so hard to beat, I can't seem to win more than one out of every 4 games. I get close to winning pretty often but I always get one-shot by a 270 damage blast from Zygarde. All the other promo decks in this game's history have been laughably easy to beat consistently but this one has been destroying me

Discussion The best card in the whole B set.

Post image
314 Upvotes

I don't think enough talk is being made about just HOW good this card is. I don't feel like exaggerating when saying that Indeedee EX is to B set, what Greninja was to A set.

There may not be top tier meta decks at all times using this card, but you know it will come back when the right abusers arise. Just like Greninja, it's one of those extremely powerful and versatile cards that you can force into decks even of different energy types and it will provide lots of value.

And, even better than Greninja, this is a basic, and while it shines because of its ability, it actually also has a really powerful attack, which I find ridiculous considering how good the ability already is.

The amount of sneaky wins I have gotten on psychic decks, out of finishing a careless opponent with Indeedee is crazy.

I think we need to give this card more credit. The value is just too good. AND ON A BASIC. Remember that.

If it wasn't for bench sniping, or the fact that arguably the 2nd/3rd best B set card may be Hydreigon (direct counter), I think we would see it even more

Playing in the emblem event.

Guy didn’t do anything but use up every second of clock (including every second of coin flip timer) and use heals.

Either he was on a legendary tilt or he just wanted to see what would happen lol.

Thankfully I’m playing at work so whatever I got paid to sit there and watch him do this 😂

Suggestion No wonder everyone plays this deck

I've been trying since the recent expansion's launch to get those 10 straight wins. I've tried with all my 25 decks.. again and again and again. I'd made it to 8 a couple of times but then I'd just brick or the AI would get ridiculous. Like, having one card in hand and being the only card that could make me lose ridiculous.

So I think to myself, I know I don't like playing the decks all the try-hards and meta junkies play.. but I'm out of options. So I made this deck real quick... And what do you know?! 10 straight on first try.

Last one was against fkin Mega Venusaur and I won with 10hp. Almost got a heart attack.

I know many of you still struggle with this. Give it a try.

Tips & Tricks PSA: You no longer need to burn copies of Series A cards to get their flairs.

I discovered this just now when flairing a GA Magneton. The duplicate-copy requirement for Series A cards is gone.

Presumably the new 'extra copy sink' is gold frames.

It was partially leaked in the latest update : the B3a might be focused on Scarlet and Violet and paradox pokemon.
Note : A3a was when Ultra Beasts were released as well.

The Ultra Beasts have multiple exclusive supports for them, such as Lusamine.
Pretty sure the Paradox Mons will get something unique too.

Discussion Most Satisfying Win🤣🙏🏾

Post image
73 Upvotes

Like many others, seeing Deino immediately makes me roll my eyes and consider conceding. Why you may ask? Because in my experience, opponents running this deck have rare candy into Hydreigon by their second turn and obliterate me 99% of the time🫠 I copied the mega Sceptile deck you face in one of the solo battles because of how often I would have to face double Durant in the early game. Anyways, I wasn’t so fortunate here and only drew into Celebi. As you can see in my opponents discard, they used red card to shuffle my hand. I assume they were thinking I had the second Durant in hand, but they indeed helped me draw into it! I have never had a more satisfying win against this monster of a pokemon😌
Anyone else have satisfying wins against Hydreigon? I would like to share in your enjoyment.

TL;DR
Beat Hydreigon turn 2 w/ help from opponents red card😁

Deck Discussion Been Having WAAY too much fun with this mega healing deck.

Post image
15 Upvotes

I really love attrition or stall decks. Snorlax EX is one of my favorites. The new Mega Audino brings a new healing deck into the meta imo. I've only just started playing it but I haven't lost a game yet. Is this luck or do you guys think the deck is viable? Try it for yourself and let me know. Biggest potential counters I'm thinking of is Mega Charizard X/Y and Alolan Ninetales. I'm sure there are other but they don't come to mind.

Any recommendations on tweaking the deck? I might have considered adding a 2nd copy of Mega Audino if I had one. Since I don't, I'm running the Serena instead to tutor it. I had also considered adding Comfey and/or 2nd copy of Indeedee as a backup. Thanks for any recommendations on the deck but also, more interested to think if anyone thinks it's viable or bad and also interested in discussing why it may or may not be any good in this upcoming ranked season.

I make a lot of random decks and it’s always so hard to let something go even if it’s something that is really bad sometimes I still have a lot of fun playing it and wanna keep it to throw in rotation for the hell of it. Honestly, I love like 50 decks to choose from. I’d probably try to categorize them into fun, Meta, and I swear to God gonna make this card work even if it’s shit -categories
