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}} | 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. | ||
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". | In place of coins, players can choose to use the second type of approved randomizer: dice.

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. | 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.

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. | |||

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. | When flipping coins multiple times for one effect, an interface appears that records the total number of heads and tails results.

In ''[[Challenge the World!]]'', two players flipped a [[Coin (TCG)/Generations I-IV#Generation I|coin]] during a match at the [[2023 World Championships]] to determine which of them took the first turn. The coin featured {{p|Chansey}}. | |||
In [[Pokémon: Path to the Peak]], coins are flipped as per the rules of the Trading Card Game in certain scenes. Notably, in ''[[PTP02|Regionals]]'', [[Ava]] got a result of heads on a coin flip that allowed her {{p|Vileplume}}'s Dizzying Pollen {{TCG|attack}} to inflict damage and defeat [[Celestine]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}{{ex}}. The coin has a Poké Ball design for tails and a {{p|Pikachu}} design for heads. | |||
