Because of the constraints of the random number generator, the sequence of numbers needed to arrive at the Tentacool Doll or Pikachu Bed outcomes (from the start of the Mystery Gift routine) will never occur. The only sequence which reaches the very rare decoration outcome is <code>14, 21, 112, 15, 34, 25</code> (<code>14, 21, 112</code> produces a rare item outcome, which is followed by <code>15, 34, 25</code> which produces a very rare decoration), which is followed by <code>164</code> (Big Lapras Doll or Surf Pikachu Doll).
