So I started playing the online card game this past week, and its kind of fun. Its brutal to noobs, but still fun. I just got enough coins to unlock a Charizard deck, so I am enjoying that. 

 

I don't intend on buying physical cards, because space and cost, but I am enjoying building up my virtual cards by getting the achievements.

So, am I wrong here, or can I not download the TCG Online game for my iphone?

Never was much into the card game. Sorry.

I believe it is on tablets but not phones. I have it on my iPad, but even my big chonk phone wouldnt have the screen real estate needed for a match.

I just figured that the screen would be small, kind of like how Hearthstone does it.

 

 

I did play some more Ultra Moon. I did manage to catch another non-legendary Pokemon from the Wormhole. I think that I might just give up trying to get everything from there until I finish up everything else. Getting to new spots on there is super tricky.

Here's some tips for the Ultra Wormhole stuff, if you ever go back to it.

 

1.  Turn off the gyro controls, if you haven't already.  Go to Heahea City on Akala Island, then go to the building by Professor Burnett's office.  Go to Gamefreak's office on the second floor and talk to the Aether Foundation employee in the corner.  The gyro controls just make controlling your beast harder.

 

2.  Make the pokemon you're riding Solgaleo.  Lunala's wings kind of fool you into thinking when you're going to hit something.  The hitbox for your riding Pokemon is actually close to the center.  Lunala's wings actually don't allow you to hit anything.  You do this by going to the Ultra Megalopolis and talking to Zossie. 

 

3. Go for the orange orbs, avoid the blue orbs.  You probably already know that, but it bears repeating.

 

4. Try and go for two-ring wormholes, at least.  You'll have to travel pretty far into it to see one, but after a little practice you should get okay at it.  That will at least give you okay odds of finding a legendary.

 

5.  When in doubt, keep your hands off the controls.  This one is kind of counter intuitive.  But, if you're going around curves, or getting close to running out of speed, you're actually better off just not touching the directional pad and just letting your pokemon snap back to the center.  The wormholes tend to pull you in, but if you're not touching any direction, you're less likely to get pulled in just by their "gravity".  This way, you won't get pulled into any wormholes you don't see coming around bends and might manage to get just a *little* bit further.

 

6. Keep a chart or something.  Certain legendaries only appear in certain color wormholes and it can get pretty easy to lose track of what color wormholes you've already gotten all the legendaries from.  You will get a message after you get all the legendaries in a certain color wormhole, though.  

 

7. I hope you've been playing with your Rotom the entire game.  Those Roto Catch tickets are actually really handy to use on the Legendaries.  You can't use them before battles, though.  So, Quick Ball>Sleep/Widdling Down Health>Rotom Catch should be your go to strategy for most legendaries, before you start throwing pokeballs.

 

This is one of the most time consuming and annoying legendary hunts in Pokemon history, and a lot of it is just up to chance.  I don't blame you if you get bored of it.

So, I am pretty much a newbie in this card game, as I just started playing the card game like two weeks ago. I have found that I need to stick to playing just with the theme decks as when I tried to make a deck, it was quickly slaughtered by someone with a lot more cards than me. I thought I was doing well, using my Charizard deck to win 80% of my matches, until the ladder reset happened yesterday, and suddenly everyone and their grandmother are coming out the gate with this crazy Dragonite deck. I guess I know which deck I need to get next.

So I've restarted Shield.

 

Turns out you can get to the Isle of Armor before even beginning the Gym Challenge, which is kind of amusing. Went with the grass monkey this time around, hunting for a Whismur and got lucky enough to catch a Lotad. Picked up a Jigglypuff on the Isle of Armor and now I suddenly realize I've inadvertently created a Pokemon Band teaming concept.

So lately, I have been playing a ton of the TCG online game. ITs pretty fun, as long as I stick to the Theme decks only version of the game. If I stray out of that, I run into insane meta decks with cards that I could only dream of beating.
