Yesterday we made a post for Pokemon TCG Online for review and link where you can download the game for free. We gave an overall 9/10 rating for making this game so cool for iOS powered device. Though this is not the typical Pokemon based game we played from Nintendo, but being card collection based game with lots of content and features, we recommend this game to download. Anyway everyone can get it for free so there is no hurt in trying. Because of wider features and lots of things that this game offers, we decided to share guides and tricks fro playing the app that we also learned from other players. So below are some things that you can consider to ensure that you are able to play this game effectively from the start up to the end:
1. Getting free tokens. This is very important in The Pokemon TCG Online actually for those who are looking forward to download cheats, maybe they need it so they can have unlimited tokens. But actually it is obvious that developers don’t want you to manipulate the game or rely on getting cheats. The result, the game offers method so you are able to earn free tokens. You can spend tokens for great cards in game such as on mini booster packs for 95 tokens each or you can save it until you have 500 Tokens so you can purchase the entire theme deck which is highly recommended especially if you are serious in playing this game. So let’s start on getting those free tokens.
2. Start with standard deck. As you arrive in game and you don’t know much from it you must play with standard decks first. Yes it is really difficult to create a strong deck as you don’t know what is really strong cards in this part. So it is better to use the standard decks that gave to you and play at least few games wherein you are able to know more about the game especially with basics and how things works as well as types of cards you are able to build and include with your strategy. And from that, you are able to create your own powerful deck which is strategy-based combinations. It is also better for you to save your tokens from not using it to claim powerful cards or higher tier cards since you don’t have a concrete strategy to follow, just only learning more from the game.
3. Creating your deck. Now that you already have an idea on how cards works, you can create your deck that you are going to use in the long run. In creating deck, you can start with a nice set of cards or personally picked cards that you earn from playing the game. You can also use your saved 500 Tokens to purchase a premium deck. But then, always keep in your mind that you have infinite options in creating your deck and everything will be up to you and your style in playing the game. But as for basic techniques in building your first deck you can consider these following tips:
4. Trade wisely. This is one of most interesting part of Pokemon TCG Online. Yes you are able to trade with other players and in this feature, you must ensure that you have always the upperhand on getting the card you wish from other players. You can get lots of powerful cards simply by trading in the game. From here you can use the menu to create lists of cards you are interested with to ensure that you are able to get them when they are available for trade. Also you must know more about the cards you are trading with especially with the value of it and rarity. Most of the time, you will get the advantage in trading when someone don’t know the real value of the cards they wish to trade. And of course we don’t want that to happen on you so you must know a lot before doing a trade.
5. Know your cards. As we already mentioned above, you must know your cards before doing some trade. So to know more about your card you must look at their attacks and strengths since every card has their own distinct attacks. For instance, the Emboar has the Firebreathing as the basic attack and this allows players to flip a coin and do extra 30 damage if you successfully get a heads. There is also card that will boost your attack power but you need to discard one energy attached to the Pokemon. Yes every card has their own unique rules/requirement to follow before you can use their ability in battle. Just take time understanding them and learn how can you use them to your strategy.
6. General strategy guides. To make the battle simpler and get always the advantage you must play all possible cards before attacking until it ends your turn automatically. You should learn how to use fast Pokemon and never rely to much with your damage-based Pokemon as this will cost you too much from your energy. Timing is the key while using everything in your hand even those lesser-damage based card. Use your energy cards wisely. Do not use them all on the same Pokemon that will only bring risk of having no energy especially when this card gets kill. The same with energy card, you must use boosters wisely and ensure that you retreat and change active Pokemons if the opponent has a card that able to damage your more based on elemental advantage.
