Pokemon TCG Pocket players are getting destroyed by “OP” card in new Venusaur event

As a seasoned Pokemon Trainer with years of battles under my belt, I can attest that the latest event in Pokemon TCG Pocket has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride – especially when it comes to encounters with that pesky, coin-flip dependent Kangaskhan. This Gen 1 ‘Mon, much like a rogue kangaroo on a rampage through the Outback, seems determined to disrupt my strategy at every turn.

In the most recent Pokemon TCG Pocket event, participants face off against Venusaur, however, it’s another Generation 1 creature causing headaches for players, particularly due to the game’s luck-based coin-flip mechanism.

It’s frequently discussed that both Pokemon Pocket and the Trading Card Game itself often rely heavily on randomness, which can lead to feelings of the game being unfair or its Random Number Generator (RNG) malfunctioning. Numerous attacks and special effects are determined by flipping a coin, and when these outcomes don’t go as planned, it may seem like the game is rigged against you.

A recent post on the PTCGP Reddit identifies a Basic Kangaskhan as a formidable adversary during the Venusaur event, due to its devastating coin-powered Dizzy Punch attack that’s leaving players in shambles. Other users have recounted their harrowing experiences battling this powerful Normal-type Pokémon.

This particular Pokemon is often dreaded due to its ability to enter battles right away when pulled from your starting deck. With just a single Energy card attached, it can unleash up to 30 damage points per head, depending on the outcome of two coin tosses.

With its high destructive potential against basic opponents and sturdy health points, Kangaskhan can wreak havoc among opposing basic Pokémon while withstanding attacks. If a player lacks a powerful basic Pokémon from their deck, they’ll need to strategically place more Pokémon on the field to counter Kangaskhan, potentially losing some of their own Pokémon in the process.

It’s not uncommon for Kangaskhan to get an unexpected boost, as its Mega Evolution from Generation 6 is often regarded as one of the best in the game. Could it be a hidden kangaroo enthusiast within The Pokemon Company who feels compelled to keep this Gen 1 character up-to-date every now and then?

In each clash within the realm of Pokemon Pocket, my success hinges on the whims of Random Number Generation (RNG). This implies that it’s uncertain if the AI will pull a Kangaskhan or if it’ll land multiple head flips. The essence of perseverance holds the reins; unless, like me, you find yourself contemplating the fate of your phone after yet another Kangaskhan strides onto the battlefield.
