 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. Coins that are not official Pokémon merchandise and supplied expressly for use in the Trading Card Game are not allowed in sanctioned events.
-Sometimes, the player may prefer to use a {{wp|Dice|die}} rather than a coin, with even numbers representing heads and odd numbers representing tails. Organized play dice used for coin flips must be a different type or color of die than ones being used to mark damage. Beginning in the 2013 season, a new rule was added stating that any die used during sanctioned events for coin flips must be transparent or translucent. Dice are generally preferred over coins by tournament players because of their ease of use.

Pokémon rules state that a die used as a coin must have the following characteristics: "distinguishable from dice used as damage counters, be transparent or translucent, have well rounded edges, and have six sides with a cube shape." Dice are generally preferred over coins by tournament players because of their ease of use.
 Official Pokémon dice to be used in lieu of coins are often distributed at larger organized play events, such as State/Province/Territory Championships and Regional Championships.
