    People also don't seem to know how powerful primeape is actually.
    If Mankey doesn't even get hit, a stray blizzard from Articuno can activate it. A poison proc from a weezing can also activate it which would do 120 damage to weezing; making it unable to Koga back. Even going 2nd on Pikachu, if Mankey hits itself and evolves turn 4, that's enough to destroy Pikachu EX in one swing.
    This card has a lot of potential now. Especially if you open it going second.

      ​@arcanerite7428 ex Articuno is 140. Articuno 18 trainer (the only pokemon in the whole deck are 2 ex Articunos) is a deck that got 2nd at the first invitational tournament. Also EX Moltres has 140 like the match on stream (surviving those 2 turns to try and farm energy before the retreat is huge for that deck). New ex Lapras is also 140, not as relevant, but is still something. Also you could one-shot pokemon like weezing with just primape+Giovanni. There are uses for it.

    If Misty said flip 2 coins and attach a water energy for each heads, that would keep her average exactly the same (0.5+0.5 = 1 = 0.5+0.25+0.125+0.0625+...), while limiting her highrolls and lowrolls.

    • @CC-kp7ge
      @CC-kp7ge 17 дней назад

      If you change it to flipping 2 coins, you actually increase the average number of heads. You're counting the same odds multiple times in your calculation.
      Odds for 0 heads: 50% (T)
      Odds for exactly 1 head: 25% (H-T)
      Odds for exactly 2 heads: 12.5% (H-H-T)
      Odds for exactly 3 heads: 6.25% (H-H-H-T)
      Odds for exactly 4 heads: 3.125% (H-H-H-H-T)
      Odds for 5+ heads: 3.125%
      (H-H-H-H-H)
      Average is about .97 and that's only if you're attaching to something with Hydro pump. Most decks only need the 3, so the average is effectively lower

      Nah, Sandslash is a very poor fit for this build. You want Dugtrio as a low investment attacker that can theoretically wall while also doing the necessary chip damage to put some higher HP pokemon into range of a Fight Back from Primeape. Sandslash deals more damage and is beefier, but Dugtrio can attack for decent damage whenever you need, even if all you had at the start was a benched Diglett. Sandslash just can't do that!
