The Shuffle is really getting bad.

I am running the most consistent version of Galvantula EX as HUMANLY POSSIBLE.

1 Galvantula SFA 2
2 Joltik SCR 150
2 Bibarel BRS 121

3 Basic {L} Energy Energy 12

Total Cards: 60


still time after time, I have 1 Pokémon opening hand usually either Bidoof or Chansey. Then 3 of a kind of 1 supporter, and 2-3 Horns…

Then I draw useless card after useless card.

I understand some times you draw poorly. But every other game I am fighting against the draw not my opponent. Also, I have multiple games where both players are doing draw pass, draw pass, draw pass, for more than 4 times.

I have multiple screen shots of this stuff happening. No matter if it’s mobile, windows desktop, or laptop Mac. I am constantly dealing with my deck feeling horrible.

Then I play it in person and it’s like warm butter on fresh toast. Yet I go to test online and it’s like pulling teeth, with rusty pliers covered in hot sauce and lemon juice.

I am aware that no computer will be truly random. However, I never had this experience on PTCGO, or on Arena, so it’s possible to get closer.

Please Pokemon please, you make playing this game hard enough with its useless (gold based) Economy. Building a new deck feels horrible enough, atleast let me play it properly once I spend enough money IRL to get enough gems and shards.

    You're spending IRL money just to get shards?

    I know you mean buying packs but there's quicker ways to build credits

    If you save enough crystals for a prefab with 6 double rares (I do the Miraidon ex league battle deck) and buy it over and over with your daily earned crystals you'll start swimming in credits and can construct any deck you want

    Shuffling and paring is trash yes, but really wired saying it's so horrible to build decks that you need to spend money… they give away almost all the core cards of the best decks, not only that the Battle Pass pays itself and more. In that aspect I don't think there is a more generous card game.
