Venusaur drop event RNG just feels bad.

I have now pulled 24 promo cards without getting a Greninja... Isn't booster pack RNG enough? Putting it in an event also just feels bad. It feels like an excuse to have another thing for people to spend their pokegold on.

I really wish that you guys would have just given out one guaranteed copy of each card and then started giving out duplicates randomly.

    I think the first drop event was similar (on annoying distributions). Got 12 Clefairy, 9 Mankey, 7 Lapras ex, and 4 Butterfree and 4 Pikachu. So far here, I have 4 Jigglypuff, 2 Onix and 2 Greninja.

    Not sure what the right answer is but I wish they'd publish distribution rates at least. And supposedly the last fire drop event gave out wonder pick cards randomly but I pulled something like 12 Heatmor (and far less of everything else) … I guess random events can give you that but it makes you wonder about the picks ….

    I’ve only gotten the commons out of ten packs, 4 haunter, 5 onix, and a jigglypuff, but I also haven’t been battling as much as last time, because I’m focused on getting the regular Eevees in every language (English, Spanish, French, and Japanese have been completed).

    I found supposed drop rates on third party news articles. I think it said 12 something for Greninja but that just makes me feel even worse. I'm up to 30 pulls without getting one now.

    Algorithm is rigged against you, like coin flips. The whole battle aspect of the game is a bug.
