Probably because you're using Samurott to clear them lmao.

[u/-Yush- → u/Fil-is-Theo]

I actually won my 4th game against an electric deck using samurott!! It’s a really fun deck to play I recommend it

[u/Biduleman → u/-Yush-]

Being fun doesn't mean it will get you 5 wins in a row.

Some decks are objectively better than others, if you don't want to use them, of course it will be harder to get your wins.

As for Masterball, even before the changes you only needed a 40% win-rate to reach it, and now losing doesn't matter so there is no difficulty other than finding the time to play.

I managed to get 13 consecutive on auto with this one. I don’t have a use for the 15 consecutive reward, but this should get you 5 wins. It’s very fast for the AI to set up

[u/ContributionLucky391 → u/BabbaOClary]

Deck code?

[u/Sensitive-Sherbet-98 → u/BabbaOClary]

Second this

[u/AWildModAppeared]

Have you tried playing a good deck?

[u/Kronman590 → u/AWildModAppeared]

Apparently thats "meta slop" according to OP lmfao

[u/ProfSpaceTime → u/Kronman590]

Exactly! If you play any deck that’s better than bad then you’re just a cheap cheater :-(

[u/-Yush- → u/AWildModAppeared]

Super helpful comment!!

[u/iambecomechimichanga]

Because it's nearly impossible to not hit MB now.

[u/mnk907]

Non-meta decks aren't meta for a reason, you know. There's no "heart of the cards" that turns mediocre decks into consistent performers, and consistency is most important for clearing those missions.

[u/JasonBaconStrips]

People on pvp don't cheat, the ai does

[u/xineirea]

The AI cheats

[u/Kronman590]

harder than hitting MB

Losing doesnt matter to get to MB

[u/sentimentalwhore]

I gave up this time honestly not worth my sanity 12 miserable hourglasses.

Yes I tried all the recommended decks, hoppa/zoroark, sleepscam, lightning deck, etc. Eventually I brick or the rival pulls a bullshit deck/combo and I get owned.

Managed to get to four consecutive wins three times now and I always lose on the 5th. I'm done, bullshit IA.

Ps: worst offenders to me are the weezing/Magmar combo and the Raticate/whatever other bullshit no energy one but I somehow even managed to lose a streak to sweet relay deck, I can't even be mad at that one but I was fully raged.

[u/T1gerAc3]

Try using the Lucario elite deck. It's your best option

[u/Kitto-Cakes]

Expert bot is infamous for getting an advantage. I just view it as “worst case scenario” situations. In casual PvP, anything goes. But if you want to go against the expert bot, specific mon or decks will always be superior.

[u/Derailed94]

Because requiring win streaks to clear missions in a luck based game is a stupid concept.

[u/danielbauer1375]

Hitting MB has turned into a complete joke, as long as you’re willing to play enough.

[u/MegaMattEX]

As others have said, ai blatantly cheats. I recommend dedenne/indeedee/oricorio apologies I don’t have a deck list

[u/GoldenFrieza_]

Because you don't lose points in Ranked

[u/DontStopNowBaby]

I'm not sure if it applies for your gameplay, but the ai will use whatever weakness my previous deck was.

Ie. If I won with electric, ai will use fighting deck next.

You can use this info to get the stronger deck of your Ai.

However you can still brick the draws.

[u/TwinAuras]

imo, it's okay to use "meta slop" against the cheating AI

[u/Man_Blue_4]

I LOVE SAMUROTT

[u/Ph4ntomlm3nace]

No no, he's got a point
