We take a look at the rarest cards in Pokemon Pocket Shining Revelry.
Naturally, this brand-new gameplay system is a rather involved affair.
These rewards can be well worth the effort.
This makes Beginner the only exception to the rule, as point advancement is guaranteed here.
While you’ll generally be pitted againstother players, there’s a chance that you’ll faceAI opponents instead.
In our own experience, we’ve encountered several AI opponents whilst climbingBeginner Rank.
Certain animations are also abbreviated in Ranked Matches against real players, too, but not as many!
Clodsire, an adorably goofy Pokemon, can be the core of a powerful deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket!
Even if you loathe battling, you should probably take a moment to do one!
Rewards, Explained
Each season has its own rewards list.
As of this writing,Ranked Matches are a brand-new additionto Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket.
Naturally, we can only speak ofthe inaugural seasonhere:Season A2b.
We can likely expect future seasons to follow a similar cadence.
At the beginning of every season,your progress partly restarts.
You’ll get something of a head start this way.
Season A2b Rewards
Now, we’ll cover this first season’s upcoming prizes.
Unless, we suppose, the rewards prove identical!
Best Practices
Needless to say, you want to win Ranked Matches.
We have a few thoughts on how you’re free to increase your chances.
…But Do Experiment
That said,it pays to hop into most ranks with surprising decks.
Before then, though?
it’s possible for you to really improve your chances by tossing big spins on classic archetypes.
For instance,we’ve been bringing a deck with two Weavile ex and two Honchkrowto many matches.
No Darkrai ex, nothing else big-time.
In our above example,Honchkrow can deal 50 damage toanyof your opponent’s Pokemon.
It’s an uncommon choice, and that can be helpful.
Another good example:Starly.
Starly’sPluckdestroys the opponent’s Active Pokemon’s Tool before the attack lands.
