    i actually noticed this when I played against someone with a marrowak ex they kept getting both tails allowing me the time I needed to setup my Mewtwo and gardevoirs and take victory in the match

    RNGesus was really not with you for this one! Sorry to hear that.

    It's crazy that the coin flip for Misty also has a 50% chance of failure (or success if you're an optimist) on the very first flip. I guess it's a balance technique.

    So you've never had a full odds shiny encounter before? 1/4096 isn't all that low...

    whether I’m playing solo or against bots, coin flips are not 50:50, after maybe 4 or more losses I’ll win, but it’s right back to losing

    If you think Marrowak ex coin flip is frustrating then try Misty lol

    I literally just experienced this again. New player here. Downloaded the game yesterday. My EX card received on day 1 was Marrowak. My last two matches were all tails. The first one, I rolled tails on back to back attacks (4 times in a row), I ended up just retreating marrowak for a sandslash to finish the match. Didn’t think much of it. The next match absolutely was ridiculous. I get my opponent down to pokemon. I need one more point to win. He downs my sandslash, I put out Marrowak. I then proceed to fail my attack 5 turns in a row. A total of 10 consecutive tails. He ended up getting the ivysaur and venasaur he needed on his bench during that time and fully outfitted it with energy before switching it out after my fourth failed attack. I had a chance to still win if my fifth attack hit so I could follow up with my benched onyx. But it didn’t. I literally went from a clean sweep (opponent had zero points), to absolutely losing the match due to a broken coin flip. The first mentioned match, sure maybe. But then another 10 failed coin flips? I’ve never seen anything like that in a game. I’m going to try to just regard this as a one off..and try to play more. But, this was frustrating and worrisome.
