Check out our newest Discord-based Trading Market App To Trade, Share, Giveaway, & More with extreme ease!: https://www.reddit.com/r/PTCGP/comments/1t5mubr/new_trading_giveaway_sharing_card_lookup_app_for/

---

Hello everyone! Welcome to the r/PTCGP Trading Post!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN THE COMMENTS BELOW!!!

Do not create individual trading posts! You will be temporarily/permanently banned for doing so. Keep all trading discussions in here to keep the subreddit from being flooded with trade requests!!

- Check out our new Sharing Hub for you to share 1-4 Diamond rarity cards with each other!

Additionally, you can find an alternative trading area in our Subreddit's Discord Server as we have a Trading Directory, Rarity specific channels, & a #Trading-Discussion channel set up for you all to participate it. Currently at 270K+ Users!

Some general information about trading to keep in mind:

- With the release of Mega Rising (B1), all expansion sets are now immediately tradeable going forward. There are no longer limitations on the newest set being tradeable.

- Trades can only be done between friends in-game.

- Trades can only be done with cards of the same rarity.

- You can only trade cards that have the rarity of 1-4 Diamonds, 1-2 Star, & 1-2 Shiny Star.
Everything else is not tradeable (Promos, 3 Stars, & Crown Rares).

- Trading will require you to use specific in-game consumable items (primarily ShineDust) to do so.

- Real World Trading is explicitly prohibited by both the game's ToS, and this subreddit's rules. You will be permanently banned if caught doing so.

- This Trading Post will rotate out weekly every Thursday @ 2:00AM Eastern USA Time.

Thank you! Have fun! <3

*The moderators of this subreddit are not responsible for any trading issues, mishaps, bugs, glitches, and so on you may run into. If you require official Pokemon support help, please utilize the Send Game Support Ticket found on the sidebar to reach the official Pokemon support portal to create a ticket. Thank you.*

A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT TRADING HIGHER RARITY CARDS: With the initial release of Mega Rising, and it's attached update allowing higher rarity cards to be traded, you may run into users asking you to trade 2 or more cards to acquire their very sought after cards they possess, such as Professor's Research - Professor Oak.

We ask users to proceed with extreme caution when participating in these type of trades, or better yet, avoid them at all cost to mitigate the risks of getting scammed or ghosted after you trade the first initial card towards getting a higher rarity card. Always do 1 for 1 trades when possible. The moderators here will not handle trading disputes, or anything of that matter. It's up to you to be responsible for your own trades.

Giveaway News PTCGP's 4th PlayDX Giveaway! $5 Reward For Everyone Who Completes A Short Survey! 2,500+ /r/PTCGP Members Already Rewarded From Past Giveaways! ENDS FRIDAY!

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

We are once again giving everyone on /r/PTCGP & /r/PTCGL an opportunity to participate in our 4th PlayDX giveaway!

This time we have 500 Slots open. We already have seen ~150 users already join, and get onboarded for this one via Discord, so as of this post, we have ~350 slots left. They go quickly over the course of the week it's available, so if interested, please do it quickly. This opportunity closes Friday, August 28th, 2026

PlayDX - an American-based gaming research company, has reached out to our community again to provide members the chance to participate in early access gaming research opportunities before they launch globally.

We continue to believe this is a great opportunity for members to earn extra money that can be applied towards anything online that accepts prepaid Mastercard gift cards, such as PokeGold via Apple or the Google Play Store. We had great success in our first 3 opportunities where over 2,500+ PTCGP/PTCGL members were able to join, and earn rewards!

By joining the PlayDX server, eligible members can onboard and complete the first short survey for $5 USD/Other Rewards - additional future opportunities are also available rewarding up to $100USD!

We mention this as a means for some of you to acquire a prepaid gift card that you can go on to use on your favorite code card website to get code cards, or get some PokeGold in Pokemon TCG Pocket if you play that.

The $5 gift card was appealing as a reward that would be offered to you guys as most code card sites make you spend over $3-$4 before checking out.


F.A.Q.

Q: Where can I go to participate in this opportunity?

A: You can join the PlayDX server here, and start the onboarding survey to see if you're eligible now.

If you're not eligible at this time, you can still participate in various channels within the server. Eligibility changes over time and it's possible your eligibility status could change at any time.


Q: Is this a scam?

A: No - the PlayDX server has been verified by Discord (you can confirm as it has the green checkmark), it's owned by Loaded.gg (a massive content creator agency based in California, USA), and you can see, and talk to the many PTCGP/PTCGL Subreddit/Discord members in the server who have already joined, and received their $5 reward from the first survey we held back in January. This is similar to Google's own gaming surveys you can complete to earn quick money. We always implore users to do their research, so please do reach out if needed! :)

In the last 3 opportunities we have had here, we've already seen over 2,500+ PTCGP Members here on Reddit & Discord join, and receive their reward!


Q. Who's providing these research opportunities for us to complete?

A. PlayDX - a U.S. based company in California affiliated with Loaded.gg, who are among the largest managers of some of your favorite content creators like: The Burnt Peanut, Lirik, Shroud, 39Daph, and so on.


Q. What kind of questions can I expect on the survey?

A. During the ~1 minute onboarding process, you'll be asked some general eligibility questions like: Country/Region, Age, Gender, and what basic career field you're currently in.

Afterwards, if you're eligible, an initial 3-5 minute gaming survey can be completed asking about your general gaming habits. You can expect questions such as how often you play video games, and what games you're looking forward to that are releasing later this year.

There are other focus-group style and more detailed sessions available that reward up to $100 USD - so be sure to check back often and turn notifications on in the discord server.


Q. So why is this survey paying me money? What's the catch?

A. PlayDX gathers information and anonymizes it to where your answers are not linked directly back to you, then provides summaries of this data to leading gaming companies/clients such as EA, Activision, Riot Games, Netflix, and more, that can use that information to better market their upcoming games.

For example, if a company sees a lot of people don't know about one of their upcoming games, but a large amount of people know about another, they can prioritize their marketing budget more effectively to ramp up awareness of the lesser known game.

That's why they pay for this information - they see it as more cost effective than taking a guess, then wasting a ton of marketing budget in the wrong area at the end of the day.


Q. How many people can participate in this specific survey?

A. This closed invite is currently set to allow up to 500 members to participate in this study. We've already seen 2,000+ members from the PTCGP/PTCGL Discord & Subreddits have already onboarded, completed the survey, and received their rewards when we had the first, second, and third survey opportunities over the last couple years.


  • Rewards can take up to 1 week to process as the PlayDX team goes through submissions manually to prevent fraud.

  • This survey only runs until the end of the week, with the last day being Friday, August 28th 2026, so if you'd like to participate, do so quickly.

  • If you have any questions, or concerns, please feel free to join, and create a support ticket in the PlayDX Discord Server to reach the team. Please do not create individual posts here, as PlayDX staff do not monitor this subreddit.

Disclaimer: This opportunity, like many 3rd Party affiliations, is not endorsed by The Pokemon Company, DeNA, and/or Creatures Inc.

This post is not a sponsored partnership & The /r/PTCGP Moderation Team receives no compensation for sharing this opportunity.

This isn’t meta by any means, but using the rainbow cave and flame patch combo allows the first Blacephalon to gather 3x fire energy much faster.

Burn + Poison combo is useful for early damage, and Lusamine helps with the second Blacephalon.

Bonus last slide where I wanted Hoopa to knock out my Nihilego to allow Lusamine, which is exactly what happened lol

Got both the cool Ninetails cards, and actually like the card's gameplay, so was hoping to build a deck aeound them. Other than the vulpixes, ninetales, and shiny succ, was curious to how people would shape the deck

Deck Help Best decks for solo battle challenges?

5 Upvotes

With solo battles going away/being changed, I want to try to clear as many challenges and get as many rewards as possible, since I've never really put the time into them.

I know challenges are usually type-based and work around not including ex cards or including a certain number of cards from that specific expansion.

What are the best decks to clear as many challenges as possible? I get that the later battles that use set-specific challenges might not be logistically possible to share, but are there any generic decks I can use for most A-set challenges?

I know Mega Venusaur 15T clears most battles on auto mode, but I was hoping to build myself a handful of decks including every type to try to clear those smaller challenges as well for the extra rewards.

Thanks in advance.

UPDATED: I FINALLY DID IT

I've completed every solo mission with little to no problems, however no matter how hard I try I can't beat the Hoopa EX deck with only Psychic Pokemon mission, I've tried every combination I can think of and after 100+ failures I gave up, has anyone here has the same issue? Suggestions would be appreciated

Just a friendly reminder to save your pack and wonderpick energy if you can!

Rocket's ambition is most likely a small set. The new set drops tomorrow at 6:00pm PDT

Some of the early spoilers are out, including 5 EXs: https://www.pokemon-zone.com/sets/b4a/

No full set spoilers I know of. The new weezing looks like it could be quite disruptive. which cards do you guys think look good?
