It is not present in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for reasons which may be linked to the inclusion of another flip-based game, [[Voltorb Flip]], in non-Japanese editions.
'''Card flip''' (Japanese: '''カードめくり''' ''card flip'') is a minigame available in the [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Goldenrod]] and [[Celadon Game Corner]]s in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.

===Gameplay===
In playing card flip, players place bets on cards that may be flipped over. The deck used contains 24 cards: each one has both a number (between one and six) and a picture of a Pokémon (either {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Oddish}}, or {{p|Poliwag}}). The cards are dealt in pairs, and from each pair, the player chooses one card to bet on. Once all 24 cards have been dealt (12 cards have been chosen), the deck is reshuffled.

Unlike the [[Roulette]] game featured in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, betting by species or number does not increase the payout if some possibilities are removed from the board.

====Strategy====
The player edge in the card-flip game if all bets are made on a single card is 34.55%, about 4% higher than in Roulette. It can be mathematically proven that there is no better system than placing all bets on a single card.
The player has a significant advantage by continuously betting on a single card, since the payout remains 24× even though fewer than 24 cards can be in the deck. For example, on the last play before the deck is reset, there are 13 cards in the deck, so the player has a 1/13 chance of winning a 24× payout for an advantage of ~84.62%. Over all plays, the player edge is ~34.55%, about 4% higher than in Roulette. It can be mathematically proven that there is no better system than placing all bets on a single card.
