Pokemon platinum dusk ball9/16/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Quick Ball’s success rate is significantly better if you play a very low amount of Pokémon, and becomes comparable or even higher than Poké Ball’s in certain decks, but for the average Stage 2 or SP based deck, Poké Ball offers the best chance for you to get the Pokémon you need, exactly when you need it. Most players will have a hard time even finding the space to use these types of cards in their decks, but if you do, it is always good to know all your options available and which one is the best choice for you. Now I don’t think one need to be a maths expert to realize how much greater are the odds of getting the Pokémon you need with Poké Ball compared to the other 2, even if the other 2 are able to get other less useful Pokémon for the situation at hand. You have a 50% chance of success, as it allows you to search your entier deck, unlike the limitations imposed by Dusk Ball’s 7 bottom cards or Quick Ball’s ‘first come first keep’. No need to touch your deck before hand or depend on its randomization. Since you assume your deck is sufficiently randomized, and that you run an average of 24 Pokémon, this means you have around an 8% chance of finding one of your Claydols first than any of your other Pokémon cards.įinally consider Poké Ball. You have to keep the first Pokémon card that pops up, and thus the chances come down to either of your 2 Claydols being at the top of your deck. You are pretty much always guaranteed success with this card, but here we don’t even get a choice. finding a Claydol GE as you could consider success as finding any Pokémon card, but this does not hold true for the situation at hand, which is a very likely scenario during a game. And since you only take a look at 7, or 16% of your deck, combining these 2 conditions, we are left with a less than 1% chance of true success, i.e. Only finding a Claydol GE there will help you out, that means only 2 out of 43 cards left in your deck are helpful, or 5%. You take the bottom 7 cards in your deck in order to try and find one of your 2 Claydols. ![]() Here is where I prove you wrong.įirst consider Dusk Ball. Usually the other 2 cards are used instead of Poké Ball as they do not involve flipping and therefore ‘should be better than Poké Ball. On turn 3 you draw your card and lo and behold it is ‘x’, where ‘x’ can be any of the following cards and you need a Claydol GE (of which you run 2 and neither is prized) to evolve your Baltoy GE this turn because your hand is dead otherwise: On Turn 2 you draw your card for the turn, and play a Roseanne’s Research, getting a Baltoy GE and a Basic Energy card, meaning your deck is now 3 cards thinner at 43 cards. That means so far you have gone through 14 cards of your deck, leaving it with 46 cards left: 7 from your starting hand, 6 Prizes and drawing 1 card for your turn. You went first and you did have a Basic Pokémon card in your starting hand, so you lay down your prizes. To really make my point, I have to illustrate a common scenario in which you could find yourself during a game, where the use of this card could come up. Now I’m sure everyone is having negative thoughts on the card and how much you ‘hate flipping coins’, but if you can take a few minutes to read through this article, you might figure out something new you hadn’t considered before about this card.įirst consider what this card can accomplish: fetch you ANY Pokémon card you need, with a 50% chance of success. Probably one of the most overlooked and underrated cards is also one of the oldest Pokémon cards available: Poké Ball. ![]()
