A '''coin''', in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], is used in a variety of ways, from Energy cards to Pokémon attacks. Many attacks say "Flip a coin. If heads, _____________________. If tails, ____________________." The coin flip is often the main point of the attack, as it decides the effect that the attack had on the Defending Pokémon: For example, these effects can succeed or fail in attacking the opponent, pick one of two possible status conditions to inflict on the opponent, or succeed in the attack or counter on the user. Sometimes, the attack's effectiveness depends on the number of successive heads-flips.
'''Coins''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコイン''' ''Pokémon Coin''), also officially recognized as '''metallic coins''', are one of two types of randomizers that players can use during a Pokémon TCG {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Match|match}}. They are obtainable via official [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] merchandise as well as official tournaments and events.


==Types of coins==
==Information==
A coin can be a real, monetary coin, a special metal, or a cardboard disc with a Pokémon on it, or any small, flat object that has the same chance of landing on either of two sides when flipped. Sometimes, the player may prefer to use a {{wp|Dice|die}} rather than a coin, with 1, 2, and 3 as "heads" and 4, 5, and 6 as "tails".
===Design===
The majority of coins released for the Pokémon Trading Card Game are made of plastic with a metallic Pokémon design on the front, which can be of anything from [[Pokémon]], game characters, and TCG-specific symbols to designs commemorating specific events. Although the majority of coins are made with the current standard of a plastic backing, throughout the history of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, coins made of cardboard and coins made of metal have also been released. Coins come in an assortment of sizes, and the metallic designs on the front also feature a variety of different [[holofoil]] patterns and colors.


A special plastic coin is distributed to all pre-constructed decks, such as the starter decks and theme decks and excluding the Championship decks, and excluding the [[Generation II]] sets by [[Wizards of the Coast]] as the Johto series sets came with a silver, metal Lugia coin. There will be a Pokémon or a symbol on top (representing heads) and a logo and/or copyright on the back (representing tails). The Pokémon or symbol usually represents in some way the set that the pre-constructed deck came from, but sometimes it's just the game in general, like the coin that depicts all the elements, before the {{TCG|Darkness}} and {{TCG|Metal}} types were introduced. There is usually more than one type of coin per set, featuring a different Pokémon or symbol on top, and can be distributed based on the deck purchased, or otherwise at random. Most of the Wizards of the Coast sets only had one coin with a seemingly random Pokémon on front.
With the English {{TCG|Next Destinies}} expansion in February 2012, The Pokémon Company International began producing colored backs alternate to the standard black. Japan has remained with the standard black, only having ever deviated from the black back for one coin during the VS Era in 2001 and one coin for the [[Pokémon 25th Anniversary]] in 2021. Up until the release of the English {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion in May 2013, all standard coins were of the same size. However, in order to remove the ''not for children under 3'' warning from their products, The Pokémon Company International began producing coins of a larger size. Japan, however, continued producing the coins at their standard size. The Pokémon Company International again increased to a jumbo size in June 2020 for the {{TCG|Battle Academy}} and now releases both the large size and jumbo size coins in tandem.


Aside from the metal Lugia coin, a silver, metal Pikachu coin was also made for the Base Set 2 also released by Wizards or the Coast. These metal coins were the only actual metal, TCG coins that came with the decks; the rest are plastic.
During [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], [[Wizards of the Coast]] produced cardboard and metal coins for the English release of the TCG, while Japan produced coins out of plastic. From [[Generation III]]-onwards, the vast majority of coins in all territories are made out of plastic, with other materials only used for commemorative merchandise and events.

==In the games==
Japanese metallic coins have featured 6 different backing designs since their introduction in October 1996. The most frequent design started in the English EX Series and the Japanese ADV Era and features a [[Poké Ball]] design and the [[Pokémon]] logo. This design has continued to this day with only minor copyright changes. When Wizards of the Coast lost the license for the card game for {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire}} onwards, coins released for English audiences were imported from Japan and distributed in English products. This remained true until August 2010 and the release of the {{TCG|Undaunted}} expansion. All coins for international audiences after this month are produced by [[The Pokémon Company International]], however, leftover stock of the standard sized Japanese coins were still included in TCG merchandise up until April 2014, when the stock was exhausted. English coins started featuring the '''™''' trademark distinction on the back in August 2010, while Japanese coins maintained the '''®''' (Registered) trademark symbol until [[Generation VIII]] in November 2019 when they also switched over to the'''™''' trademark.
In {{Card GB 2}}, there are several collectible coins that can be obtained by the protagonist, [[Mark]] or [[Mint]]. These coins are used as proof of achievements within the game, much like Gym [[Badge]]s from the [[main series]] or the [[medal]]s from the {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game|previous TCG Game Boy game}}. Besides marking achievements, the player may choose one of their coins to use in duels for coin flips in place of their original coin. The appearance and purpose of these coins mimic the real-life collectible coins.

===Gameplay===
| {{pcolor|Golbat|000}} Coin
Coin flips are an integral part of the design of a vast number of cards released in the TCG and are used in a variety of ways. The result of a coin flip can determine whether an effect of a card even happens: a heads after playing {{TCG|Pokémon Catcher}} or after using {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} {{TCG ID|Neo Revelation|Shining Gyarados|65}}'s {{m|Outrage}} attack allows the effect to happen. Coin flips can result in an additional positive effect on a successful heads, or an additional negative effect on a tails. {{TCG|XY}} {{TCG ID|XY|Spewpa|16}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}} inflicts a {{TCG|Special Condition}} on the opponent's Active Pokémon on a success, while {{TCG|Platinum}} {{TCG ID|Platinum|Vigoroth|64}}'s Reckless Charge attack inflicts damage to itself on a failure. The occasional card will result in a positive effect for both a heads or a tails on a coin flip: {{TCG|Call of Legends}} {{TCG ID|Call of Legends|Tangrowth|34}}'s Plow Over attack will either {{TCG|Paralyzed|Paralyze}} the opponent or send one of their attached Energy cards to the {{TCG|Lost Zone}} depending on the result of the flip. {{TCG ID|Triumphant|Cubone|60}} from {{TCG|Triumphant}} has the {{m|Bone Rush}} attack that calls for flipping a coin until the flip is a failure, doing damage dependent on the amount of heads achieved.
| [[File:Coin Golbat GB2.png]]
| The Golbat Coin is given to winners of the {{color2|000|GR Grass Fort}}. It is required to open the {{color2|000|GR Lightning Fort}}.


|-style="background: #{{tcg lightning color light}};"
[[File:VictiniLegendaryTreasures23.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Victory Star Victini]]
| {{pcolor|Magnemite|000}} Coin
Much less frequently will cards manipulate coin flips in more significant ways. {{TCG|Legendary Treasures}} {{TCG ID|Legendary Treasures|Victini|23}} has the {{a|Victory Star}} {{TCG|Ability}}, which allows players to re-flip coins once per attack if they are unsatisfied with the result. Starting with [[Trick Coin]] from [[Phantom Forces]], a meta-rule was added preventing players from using effects that allow them to flip coins again more than once on the same set of coin flips. Additionally, {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Shiftry|13}} in the {{TCG|Rising Rivals}} expansion has a {{TCG|Poké-Body}} that forces an opponent's coin flips to be treated as tails as long as Shiftry is in the Active Position. These effects are considered much more powerful than the more common coin flip based effects seen more often, and are printed very seldom. The strongest coin flip manipulation effect is on the [[Supporter]] [[Will (Cosmic Eclipse 208)|Will]], which lets the player choose the result of the next coin flip of an {{TCG|Attack}}, {{TCG|Ability}}, or {{TCG|Trainer}} card on their turn.
| [[File:Coin Magnemite GB2.png]]
| The Magnemite Coin is given to winners of the GR Lightning Fort. It is required to open both the {{color2|000|GR Fire Fort}} and the {{color2|000|GR Water Fort}}.


|-style="background: #{{tcg fire color light}};"
In place of coins, players can choose to use the second type of approved randomizer: dice. When dice are used, it's generally considered for even numbers to mean "heads" and odd numbers to mean "tails".
| {{pcolor|Magmar|000}} Coin
| [[File:Coin Magmar GB2.png]]
| The Magmar Coin is given to winners of the GR Fire Fort. It is one of two coins required to unlock the {{color2|000|GR Fighting Fort}}.


|-style="background: #{{tcg water color light}};"
===Rules of play===
| {{pcolor|Psyduck|000}} Coin
[[Play! Pokémon]] details several rules on coins and coin flips during TCG matches:
| [[File:Coin Psyduck GB2.png]]
:*Any coin released with any Pokémon TCG product from {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire}} on should be considered fair and impartial.
| The Psyduck Coin is given to winners of the GR Water Fort. It is one of two coins required to unlock the GR Fighting Fort.
:*When flipped, a coin should be held at shoulder height, and fully rotate at least three times before landing on the table.
:*Coins should land as flat on the table as possible. If both players cannot agree on the result of the flip, a judge may be called to determine whether the result is conclusive or if the coin must be flipped again.
:*Coin flips that land outside the playing area (off of the table or in another game's playing area) are considered invalid and must be flipped again.
:*Once players have agreed on the result of a coin flip, it cannot be redone.
:*Once a judge has ruled that a result is conclusive, it cannot be redone.
Coins made out of materials other than plastic or metal are typically not recognized as standard randomizers for TCG matches and must be approved by both players. Additionally, the head judge of the tournament has the right to disallow any randomizer if there is reason to believe that the randomizer is unsuitable.


|-style="background: #{{tcg fighting color light}};"
===Popularity===
| {{pcolor|Machamp|000}} Coin
Coins have fallen out of favor among the Pokémon player base, who have gradually started to prefer the second officially recognized randomizer, dice, instead, for their utility and convenience, causing coins to be used progressively less as a tool for determining outcomes during a TCG match. With the frequency they are released, their occasional limited availability, and their exclusivity to certain countries such as {{pmin|Japan}}, {{pmin|the United States}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, and {{pmin|South Korea}}, coins are quickly being treated more as a collectible.
| [[File:Coin Machamp GB2.png]]
| The Machamp Coin is given to winners of the {{color2|000|GR Fighting Fort}}. It is required to unlock the remainder of the island,<br>which includes {{color2|000|Mr. Ishihara's Villa}}, the {{color2|000|Team GR Castle}}, the {{color2|000|GR Psychic Stronghold}}, and the {{color2|000|Colorless Altar}}.


|-style="background: #{{tcg colorless color light}};"
A lot of players tend to use coins to mark a Pokémon that has used an {{tcg|Ability}} that can only be used once per turn.
| {{pcolor|Snorlax|000}} Coin
| [[File:Coin Snorlax GB2.png]]
| The Snorlax Coin is given to winners at the Colorless Altar. It is one of two coins required to unlock the Team GR Castle.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game Online===
| {{pcolor|Ponyta|000}} Coin
As the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]] is based on the physical Pokémon Trading Card Game, the game utilizes coins in the same way. However, it also features commemorative coins that aren't physically available. For example, in the code card package received by participants of the [[2014 World Championships]], a commemorative coin was included. Each {{TCG|Theme Deck}} code card also includes the deck's coin, and older retired coins are being progressively made available by using the game's Prize Wheel. Each deck can be assigned a coin, and when using that deck every coin flip the player with that deck performs is done using that coin.  
| [[File:Coin Ponyta GB2.png]]
| The Ponyta Coin will be awarded to {{color2|000|Mark}} or {{color2|000|Mint}} after they have won the Challenge Cup ten times.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game Live===
As the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Live]] is based on the physical Pokémon Trading Card Game, the game utilizes coins in the same way. However, it also features commemorative coins that aren't physically available. Each {{TCG|Theme Deck}} code card also includes the deck's coin, and other coins can be purchased from the shop by spending the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Live#Shopping|coin]] currency. Each deck can be assigned a coin, and when using that deck every coin flip the player with that deck performs is done using that coin.

When flipping coins multiple times for one effect, an interface appears that records the total number of heads and tails results. If an effect calls for many coin flips, the animation will speed up.

Pokémon's first coin

Coins (Japanese: ポケモンコイン Pokémon Coin), also officially recognized as metallic coins, are one of two types of randomizers that players can use during a Pokémon TCG match. They are obtainable via official Pokémon Trading Card Game merchandise as well as official tournaments and events.

Information

Design

The majority of coins released for the Pokémon Trading Card Game are made of plastic with a metallic Pokémon design on the front, which can be of anything from Pokémon, game characters, and TCG-specific symbols to designs commemorating specific events. Although the majority of coins are made with the current standard of a plastic backing, throughout the history of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, coins made of cardboard and coins made of metal have also been released. Coins come in an assortment of sizes, and the metallic designs on the front also feature a variety of different holofoil patterns and colors.

With the English Next Destinies expansion in February 2012, The Pokémon Company International began producing colored backs alternate to the standard black. Japan has remained with the standard black, only having ever deviated from the black back for one coin during the VS Era in 2001 and one coin for the Pokémon 25th Anniversary in 2021. Up until the release of the English Plasma Freeze expansion in May 2013, all standard coins were of the same size. However, in order to remove the not for children under 3 warning from their products, The Pokémon Company International began producing coins of a larger size. Japan, however, continued producing the coins at their standard size. The Pokémon Company International again increased to a jumbo size in June 2020 for the Battle Academy and now releases both the large size and jumbo size coins in tandem.

During Generation I and Generation II, Wizards of the Coast produced cardboard and metal coins for the English release of the TCG, while Japan produced coins out of plastic. From Generation III-onwards, the vast majority of coins in all territories are made out of plastic, with other materials only used for commemorative merchandise and events.

Japanese metallic coins have featured 6 different backing designs since their introduction in October 1996. The most frequent design started in the English EX Series and the Japanese ADV Era and features a Poké Ball design and the Pokémon logo. This design has continued to this day with only minor copyright changes. When Wizards of the Coast lost the license for the card game for EX Ruby & Sapphire onwards, coins released for English audiences were imported from Japan and distributed in English products. This remained true until August 2010 and the release of the Undaunted expansion. All coins for international audiences after this month are produced by The Pokémon Company International, however, leftover stock of the standard sized Japanese coins were still included in TCG merchandise up until April 2014, when the stock was exhausted. English coins started featuring the ™ trademark distinction on the back in August 2010, while Japanese coins maintained the ® (Registered) trademark symbol until Generation VIII in November 2019 when they also switched over to the™ trademark.

Gameplay

Coin flips are an integral part of the design of a vast number of cards released in the TCG and are used in a variety of ways. The result of a coin flip can determine whether an effect of a card even happens: a heads after playing Pokémon Catcher or after using Neo Revelation Shining Gyarados's Outrage attack allows the effect to happen. Coin flips can result in an additional positive effect on a successful heads, or an additional negative effect on a tails. XY Spewpa's Stun Spore inflicts a Special Condition on the opponent's Active Pokémon on a success, while Platinum Vigoroth's Reckless Charge attack inflicts damage to itself on a failure. The occasional card will result in a positive effect for both a heads or a tails on a coin flip: Call of Legends Tangrowth's Plow Over attack will either Paralyze the opponent or send one of their attached Energy cards to the Lost Zone depending on the result of the flip. Cubone from Triumphant has the Bone Rush attack that calls for flipping a coin until the flip is a failure, doing damage dependent on the amount of heads achieved.

Victory Star Victini

Much less frequently will cards manipulate coin flips in more significant ways. Legendary Treasures Victini has the Victory Star Ability, which allows players to re-flip coins once per attack if they are unsatisfied with the result. Starting with Trick Coin from Phantom Forces, a meta-rule was added preventing players from using effects that allow them to flip coins again more than once on the same set of coin flips. Additionally, Shiftry in the Rising Rivals expansion has a Poké-Body that forces an opponent's coin flips to be treated as tails as long as Shiftry is in the Active Position. These effects are considered much more powerful than the more common coin flip based effects seen more often, and are printed very seldom. The strongest coin flip manipulation effect is on the Supporter Will, which lets the player choose the result of the next coin flip of an Attack, Ability, or Trainer card on their turn.

In place of coins, players can choose to use the second type of approved randomizer: dice. When dice are used, it's generally considered for even numbers to mean "heads" and odd numbers to mean "tails".

Rules of play

Play! Pokémon details several rules on coins and coin flips during TCG matches:

  • Any coin released with any Pokémon TCG product from EX Ruby & Sapphire on should be considered fair and impartial.
  • When flipped, a coin should be held at shoulder height, and fully rotate at least three times before landing on the table.
  • Coins should land as flat on the table as possible. If both players cannot agree on the result of the flip, a judge may be called to determine whether the result is conclusive or if the coin must be flipped again.
  • Coin flips that land outside the playing area (off of the table or in another game's playing area) are considered invalid and must be flipped again.
  • Once players have agreed on the result of a coin flip, it cannot be redone.
  • Once a judge has ruled that a result is conclusive, it cannot be redone.

Coins made out of materials other than plastic or metal are typically not recognized as standard randomizers for TCG matches and must be approved by both players. Additionally, the head judge of the tournament has the right to disallow any randomizer if there is reason to believe that the randomizer is unsuitable.

Popularity

Coins have fallen out of favor among the Pokémon player base, who have gradually started to prefer the second officially recognized randomizer, dice, instead, for their utility and convenience, causing coins to be used progressively less as a tool for determining outcomes during a TCG match. With the frequency they are released, their occasional limited availability, and their exclusivity to certain countries such as Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Korea, coins are quickly being treated more as a collectible.

A lot of players tend to use coins to mark a Pokémon that has used an Ability that can only be used once per turn.

Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!

Main article: Event Coin

An Event Coin (Japanese: イベントコイン) is any of the collectible coins used in Trading Card Game duels in Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!.

e-Reader

Coin Flipper 1

Coins, specifically of the Chansey design, have been featured in two e-Reader applications, Coin Flipper 1 and Coin Flipper 2, both of which are, as their names suggest, coin tosses. This data is featured on the Chansey, and the application is similar to the Pokétch application Coin Toss.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Online

As the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online is based on the physical Pokémon Trading Card Game, the game utilizes coins in the same way. However, it also features commemorative coins that aren't physically available. For example, in the code card package received by participants of the 2014 World Championships, a commemorative coin was included. Each Theme Deck code card also includes the deck's coin, and older retired coins are being progressively made available by using the game's Prize Wheel. Each deck can be assigned a coin, and when using that deck every coin flip the player with that deck performs is done using that coin.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Live

As the Pokémon Trading Card Game Live is based on the physical Pokémon Trading Card Game, the game utilizes coins in the same way. However, it also features commemorative coins that aren't physically available. Each Theme Deck code card also includes the deck's coin, and other coins can be purchased from the shop by spending the coin currency. Each deck can be assigned a coin, and when using that deck every coin flip the player with that deck performs is done using that coin.

When flipping coins multiple times for one effect, an interface appears that records the total number of heads and tails results. If an effect calls for many coin flips, the animation will speed up.

Reason: Other coin flips and coin appearances in Path to the Peak

In Challenge the World!, two players flipped a coin during a match at the 2023 World Championships to determine which of them took the first turn. The coin featured Chansey.

In Pokémon: Path to the Peak, coins are flipped as per the rules of the Trading Card Game in certain scenes. Notably, in Regionals, Ava got a result of heads on a coin flip that allowed her Vileplume's Dizzying Pollen attack to inflict damage and defeat Celestine's Mismagiusex. The coin has a Poké Ball design for tails and a Pikachu design for heads.
