Thought Wave Machine
Trainer › Rocket's Secret Machine

Flip a coin until you get tails. For each heads, return an Energy card attached to your opponent’s Active Pokémon to your opponent’s hand. If the Pokémon has fewer attached Energy cards than that, return all of them to your opponent’s hand. Your turn is over now (you don’t get to attack).

    Why would you use this when you can use energy removal?

    “If the Pokemon has fewer Energy cards than that…”

    No sane person would continue to flip after they’ve gotten enough heads.

      It is technically required by the card. It would be awfully funny if someone used this at the start of the game, and dragged it out to sudden death because he flipped a few thousand heads.

    Imagine:
    Duel Decks: Team Galactic vs. Team Rocket.

    Team rocket gets minion of team rocket, thought wave machine,and digger. Team Galactic gets Poke Turn, Power Spray, and Energy Gain
    HOW FAIR

    I feel like the PTCGi company making these cards always feels like these “flip until you get a tails” mechanics are better than they actually are.

      You don’t really want to make these kinds of mechanics good. Creates lots of feel-bad moments.
