Deck Suggestions for beginner

[sladecap]

Hello I play online and I am new to the game, I will be playing free to play and I am familiar with the Trainer Challenges and rewards but would like to know if there are any good budget decks for standard. I got Gardevior-GX from the tutorial, I heard the card is really good but can I realistically build a deck with it for relatively cheap? Also which booster packs should I open?

If you're very new, you can modify Mental might removing almost everything but the Gallade lines, the Milktank, and include your Gardevoir GX playing with fairy and the few psy energies mixed. Fill the trainers with the Vs seeker you have at the start, some Sycamore+N+Colress. It needs a bit of deck building knowledge but that can win a lot of other very new players.

 

If you're not that new and want to burst into a more competitive scene, the option is spending 1000 tokens, buy 2 Mach strike theme decks and mix it to make an upgraded Standard. In short: 4 Garchomp, 2-2 Lucario, 4 Cynthia, 2 Pal pad... basically you need to get Rare candies and some more Guzma to make a deck that can do good.

 

You should get some other Theme decks, starting by Blazing volcano (a Guzma+R stretcher+Nest ball+Lillie and other good trainer cards along with Magcargo are included there, in addition to be the best theme deck in present moment).

 

Another Theme with very useful trainers inside is Leaf charge. Both Tropical takedown and Twilight rogue include a Field blower (and more).

 

It's always good to have all possible Theme to enlarge your pool of cards for custom. And you know what you're going to get. Opening packs never guarantees the card you look for. If you want a specific card, is always better to trade for it.

 

About building a Gardevoir GX deck itself for cheap, forget it. For a competitive deck you'd need a lot more cards including at least a couple more Garde GX at around 4 packs each and you'd still needing probably a couple Alolan Ninetales GX, at +12 packs each too, just to get the GXs of the deck. Still missing all the partners and the staple trainers.

 

If you think you're not ready for the Competitive scene, play Theme grinding the ladder to get reward cards and coins for new Theme and enter Events to try to get some tradeable.

 

About packs to opening, if they are trade locked, open'em always. There's nothing else you can do with it. If packs are trade-able, use it just for trade. Smart choice is never open'em. About buying packs with tokens, I would spend in Theme decks first, as stated above.

 

Good luck

Vespiquen/Flareon can be a good expanded budget deck.  None of the essentials are hard to get except battle compressor and flareon, but even they aren't very expensive.
