Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about deck exports, probability simulations, and tournament list tools.
How do I export my deck from Pokémon TCG Live?
In Pokémon TCG Live, go to your Decks tab, select your deck, and click the Export button. This copies your 60-card list in plain text to your clipboard. Simply paste it directly into our simulator text box.
Why does the simulator run 100,000 games instead of only using static math?
Real Pokémon TCG matches involve complex sequential rules: if you draw zero Basics in your initial 7 cards, you mulligan, reshuffle, and draw again. After opening hands are resolved, 6 cards are moved to the Prize Pool. Static formulas cannot cleanly account for this interaction across multi-card combo requirements. Running 100,000 full Monte Carlo game cycles simulates true empirical reality.
What is considered a good Mulligan rate for a standard deck?
In competitive standard play, a mulligan rate between 15% and 28% (achieved with 9–12 Basic Pokémon) is standard. A mulligan rate over 35% significantly harms consistency and grants your opponent free extra cards.
How does the Mid-Game Outs Calculator work?
The Outs Calculator uses the hypergeometric probability mass function to determine the exact mathematical chance of drawing at least one copy of your remaining target cards (outs) when drawing $n$ cards from a deck of size $N$. You can click cards in your deck preview to automatically configure your target count.
Can I generate official tournament decklists in multiple languages?
Yes! Our Decklist Generator pulls data from the TCGdex API and supports automatic translation into 9 languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian). The Split feature allows you to separate card rows if you play mixed-language copies (e.g. 3 German + 1 English Ultra Ball).
How is the Consistency Grade calculated?
The grade is evaluated across 5 weighted factors: Mulligan Reliability (35 pts), Early Search Density (25 pts), Turn 1 Supporter Odds (15 pts), Key Combo Hit Rate (15 pts), and Prize Card Safety (10 pts). Achieving an S-Tier grade means your deck list is mathematically optimized for high-level tournament play.
