this has then led to a LOT of angry reddit posts, and coverage in IGN, screenrant, gamesradar, etc

It's rigged! It's bad design! We need a balance patch!

it's also a meme at this point: "Flip a coin: it's tails"

A picture of two pokemon tcg cards. On the left is an old Blaine's Ninetales card where the Burn Up attack involves flipping a coin. On the right is a fictional new card called Misty's Nine Tails, with text saying "Flip a coin nine times. It's tails."

We need to talk about Misty!

(the most *wonderfully* frustrating card in pokemon tcg pocket and latest contributor to the randomness-in-game-design discourse)
The Misty card from Pokemon TCG Pocket game. The text on the card says "Choose 1 of your water Pokemon, and flip a coin until you get tails. For each heads, take a water Energy from your Energy Zone and attach it to that Pokemon.
