It’s alright I guess Pull rate is horribly unbalanced, events that help you get better cards have been removed. Art is nice but you can’t even trade the good cards at all. Card pulls are overwhelmingly bad and you aren’t even guaranteed a one star or above with a ten pack pull

EX PACK You just dropped the ex pack again without proper advertising beforehand right after your most hyped pack yet (Rayquaza) with NO way of earning more hourglasses. This is a predatory business practice & should be shamed but I expect nothing less from Scamtendo

Unbalanced mess PvP is an unbalanced hot mess while solo battles are rigged to the bone for a longer player interaction time.

Came back to update my review In my last review I complained that battling completely sucks, that solo expert battles are decidedly rigged against the player - the AI always gets exactly the cards it needs at exactly the right time, the player flips an inordinate amount of tails (for me, usually about 3/4 of all coin flips, and I’m using decks that flip a lot of coins so I’m talking 15 tails out of 20 flips, sometimes even on a single turn). The only flip you can pretty much guarantee to get heads is the first coin flip to see who gets the first turn, which is the only time that you generally want to flip tails because tails usually gets the first attack. I came back to update my review with battling still REALLY sucks and now that they have added Mega evolution Pokémon, battling is now even MEGA awful. Playing against other players is also terrible. The matchmaking is not based on relative skill so a brand new player could be matched up against a person who owns 30,000 cards and is maxed out in player level. I play this game mostly just to collect the cards because every time I battle I want to throw my phone out a window, but I feel like I have to battle to earn the hourglass rewards so I can open more packs sooner. In conclusion, great game unless you like to battle.

Terrible It took my money

Why it’s a chill game You can relax and chill and open packs when you are having a bad day. This helps me a lot.

Bugs and Slow Play This game keeps adding new bugs every single update and its extremely slow to play with animations that take forever to load screens that give you nothing.

Battling is no fun Extremely hard to win even with a great deck. They will intentionally give you the worst cards and the other player coincidentally gets the right ones. Also the AI player forced a battle into 46 ROUNDS just for me to lose. Fix that

It baads Stayed up 92 hours playing and got a god pack and then in 30 minutes got another got pack! !!!
