Lucky ice pop is too strong :(

Makes the game not fun

It should only work once a turn or need a coinflip for the first heal

No you flip a coin every time and if its heads then put it back in your hand.

I agree it's too "strong" indeed, the only limitation is that can only be used in the active Pokemon...

I personally think it was a bad decision to create this kind of card, it makes the game more rng and more annoying.

We've seen Celebi which was deemed by the community to be too strong. And it got overshadowed pretty quickly. I think it is best to just keep with the good faith in the developers. I am sad though that Mega Venusaur isn't a better deck with stall strategies.

Remember that if you can't beat them you can always join them. And edit the deck a little to be more of your own.

I don't think comparing it with Celebi ex deck makes sense, I mean the deck was fun and saw a lot of play, but was never the best deck, and it required the stage 2 Serperior without rare candy for Celebi to be the main attacker... it wasn't a game changer like this kind of cards.

A better comparation would be Misty, this kind of limitless use/flips are bad for the competitive game because the skill needed to win reduces and it gets annoying.

I'm not saying I'm not using it, in fact I have it in several of my decks, but doesn't mean I think it's good for the game.

Regarding Lucky ice pop, I feel like if I get heads once on a coin toss, it's super easy to get heads again the next time. Does anyone else feel the same way?🤔

Definitely not how probability works.

In Live it heals 10 less than Potion so it wasn't automatically better. Agree with OP that it should have a slight nerf in some way

This card requires a balance - it makes the competitive gameplay significantly less fun
