Coin flipping broken, on iOS at least
I’ve been running a deck that depends on a lot of coin flipping. Unfortunately, I’ve flipped coins well over a hundred times since migrating to live and I’ve not received a single heads, literally. I’m either super unlucky, or something’s up here. The odds of this realistically happening are virtually 0.

Getting an abnormal amount of tails
Dude, I'm using the Alolan Exeggutor V, and there is a move that you can obtain 5 leaf energy cards, and six times in a row I got a tails (Four tails in the first game, and two tails in the second game). Do you know how low the chances of doing that are? Its 1.563%. I have experienced this with other Pokémon that use coinflips. There is obviously something wrong with the coin flip system to where they do not want you to win.

The thing about truly random rng is that it absolutely does not care if you're on a "streak" - while getting a bunch of tails in a row is certainly unlikely the more coins you flip, it's not impossible either. *each individual flip* has a 50/50 chance of landing tails. (And honestly, don't build a deck that relies on flipping coins. The performance will pretty much always be poor.)

Nah, dude, the multiple tails for up to ten times in a row has happened multiple times. This game is rigged for sure.

The heads are random amongst the guaranteed tails.

This is happening to me too
I play a multi Venusaur deck with Loopy Lasso. Had three out and all flipped tails for two turns. The probability is 1/64 or 1.5% odds. The issue with a coin flip on a computer is nothing is random. It has to follow a timing sequence for a true/false outcome. I assumed it happened when you activated the ability but from the previous posts it shows the outcome before any action is taken, which is ok for one flip but multiple flips lead to a broken mechanics feel. I started keeping track of my coin flips on starting the game recently. Out of 22 flips I won 5 times. Just frustrating.
