The video provides an extensive guide on navigating Pokémon TCG Live, starting with deciding whether to migrate your PTCGO collection, which helps in earning credits but is irreversible. Standard Ranked is the primary format, while other formats and friend battles are limited. Essential tasks include skipping avatar customization and completing the optional tutorial. Players start with eight free decks, including competitive options like Blissey V, and can earn more via the battle pass system, which offers additional cards and a temporary free deck featuring Lugia V-Star.
For improving decks, the creator highlights effective deck combinations such as Shadow Rider Calyrex and Arceus V-Star with Regidrago V-Star, and advises purchasing the premium battle pass for extra rewards. Managing credits wisely and focusing on upgrading free decks are crucial due to the game’s demanding economy. Prioritizing daily quests can accelerate progression.
The global beta release is scheduled for November 15th and will continue until March 2023. For further assistance, players are directed to a starter guide and invited to engage via comments or watch additional gameplay on Twitch.

In this segment of the video, the creator discusses the initial steps to take after downloading Pokémon TCG Live. Firstly, they emphasize the importance of deciding whether to migrate your PTCGO collection to Pokémon TCG Live. Migrating your collection will transfer up to four copies of every card you own, enabling you to earn credits faster, but it also means you cannot revert to PTCGO. The current populated format in the live beta is Standard Ranked, with limited options for other formats and friend battles. The creator advises having unopened packs in PTCGO for additional credits in Live.
As the game boots up, customizing your avatar can be skipped initially to focus on more crucial tasks. The tutorial in Live is skippable, allowing experienced players to jump directly into the game, though new players might benefit from completing it. A free deck based on the Silver Tempest basic battle pass, featuring Lugia V-Star, is available until January 19, 2023, with a new free deck to follow upon the Crown Zenith launch.
The battle pass system provides additional cards for the free deck as players complete levels. Additionally, players receive eight free decks upon starting the game, with specific decks like Blissey V being highlighted for their competitive potential. The creator also mentions having a video ranking these free decks available for further guidance.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses strategies for improving decks in Pokémon TCG Live. Decidueye has become less effective, with Miltank performing better due to it being a basic card. Shadow Rider Calyrex and Arceus V-Star paired with Regidrago V-Star are highlighted for strong deck options. The recommendation is made to purchase the premium battle pass for extra rewards, including a free deck and additional pieces for the Regidrago deck upon reaching higher levels. New players should be aware of the limited credits available initially and the necessity to smartly manage these for deck enhancements. The speaker also stresses the importance of upgrading free decks and being patient, as the game’s economy demands considerable grinding. Crafting specific cards like Lumineon V and using free decks for about a week can optimize the initial gaming experience and increase the chances of winning games.
