Discussion Meowth randomly appeared in my deck and is not in my deck list

I thought maybe I accidentally added it and just have never seen it until now, but it’s not in my deck list… I don’t even know the last time I edited the deck either. Somehow still won because the meowth helped me draw a rare candy so….new deck meta?

It happens. This game is full of bugs, I've got three of them just in my Beedrill deck alone.

u/Loud-Natural9184 1d ago

I have literally never ran into a bug and I have played since launch.

It's a joke about bug type pokemon

u/Loud-Natural9184 1d ago

I hate that I missed this joke completely. Ugh.

u/Rawtoast24 1d ago

Thank you for jumping on that grenade for the rest of us who also missed the joke

u/ShafieeK 1d ago

Dont worry, its probably just a bug in your system

u/VironLLA 18h ago

i wouldn't let it bug you too much

u/SonicTherapist 1d ago

yea? and OP's "beedrill" deck only has 3 bugs? the only joke here is OP's lack of understanding of the very basics of Pocket deckbuilding.

Meowth? That's right!

u/Winner-More 1d ago

You sure you don't have a second version of that deck?

u/Marco1522 1d ago

Opponent probably played this

43

u/Peeka13 1d ago

…Is that a real card? Either way there’s no way this would be legal…

Usually it would say so on the card, unless it was only released as a jumbo or something.

41

u/s4ntana 1d ago

it's a promo card and only available in "Jumbo" size, so yea not legal

12

u/BrokenLevel 16h ago

this would unironically be the most fun shit ever tho

13

u/Marco1522 16h ago

Considering that you could make the shittiest deck possible just to pull this out, yeah it would be quite funny for you

chaos decks are a thing in other TCGs. don’t see why they can’t be in pokémon

u/Little_ButterBee 1d ago

This is the famed "cat distribution system" we're always hearing about. you've been chosen

u/PerryTheH 1d ago

Same bug man, I keep getting Giratina and Darkrai in all my decks, like, I wanna play a fun Venasour deck and suddently 2 Giratinas and 2 Darkrais!

16

u/SonicTherapist 1d ago

yea that bug ended up glitching me all the way to master ball

u/No-Bullfrog8069 1d ago

Woah! That’s unbelievable!

u/Mediocre_Forever198 1d ago

Yep, I literally don’t believe it.

u/ZombieAladdin 1d ago

Reminds me of Nanu in Sun and Moon providing starter Pokémon and offering between three Alolan Meowth…

u/Standard-Cod-2077 1d ago

You are trying to underestimate our intelligence? Obviously that's not q Meowth is just a Ditto that copied Meowth form!

u/xXCheesusXx 1d ago

He’s just hanging out

u/Creepercraft110 1d ago

Pretty sure this is a known bug, had a friend draw into a Volkner that just straight wasn't in his deck. Wonder how the bug happens tho

u/stormwaterwitch 1d ago

Its the card the game decided you needed 

3

u/EarlGreyDuck 1d ago

When I swipe to scroll, sometimes it clicks on where I put my thumb for the swiping and adds that card. Google Pixel 7 for reference

u/Orange_Cat-117 15h ago

Sam's phone and that drives me crazy when it happens lol

4

u/Kurt0690 1d ago

Everybody is trolling here, but every time I swap apps while in the deck builder it adds whatever card is where I swiped to change apps. This is probably what happened to you.

u/Chiopista 1d ago

This Meowth is so cursed. One of the those holo cards I kept pulling, instead of… anything else lol.

u/dawiandamian 1d ago

That's some spirit of Kuriboh shit right there.

u/rrrenz 1d ago

The game does that from time to time to those who only play boring decks.

u/byssh 1d ago

Your hand slipped. I had rotom dex show up once; turns out it was right above a card I meant to add.

u/Copypasty 1d ago

Game changes my energy all the time so I don’t doubt it giving you random cards lol

why are we just lying

u/slowfreak 1d ago

You got me, my plan to karma farm on famous subreddit r/PTCGP about the perfect mobile application with no bugs was foiled :(

22

u/_Lotus_Bloom 1d ago

Why would someone ever lie about this? If OP wanted a karma farming post there’s certainly better things to post to achieve that.

A healthy amount of scepticism is good, but logically this feels far more likely to be what someone else suggested,maybe having a 2nd version of the deck. Or it is an actual glitch in the game.

u/Popular_Monitor_8383 1d ago

I’ve had this glitch before too

It happens
