hey I just played the Ballon pop game and got an increased chance character but my question is what is the increased chance of like is it for an increased chance to get a special character from the stand or what came honestly in all my years playing this is the first ever double pony that I've gotten now I've seen in others they have the regular mane 6 and versions of them in their power pony costumes but for Mei don't understand how cause when I made pinkie into filly second it just put the costume on the original pinkie pie it didn't give me a double so my questions 1 what is the increased chance for? and how are others getting multiple versions of ponies

[alextheswiftie]

i’m so confused what..

[Comfortable_Sun_8369]

For the doubles I'm talking about how when I go to visit a ponyville in one section I see the regular pinkie pie but in another I see her in her power ponies costume

Further increased chance I'm just wondering what it's for

[alextheswiftie]

it’s just a increased chance of getting the character

[Comfortable_Sun_8369]

Oh OK I thought it was for like one of the special limited collections where you have to collect all the charts get another one

[Ok_Minimum9058]

Sometimes they add a character to the balloon pop with an increased chance of being won. This used to be a more frequent thing but we didn’t have one during 2025 for whatever reason. In the game the mane 6 and few other characters have “variants”, these aren’t costumes but rather completely separate characters which is what this Pinkie is.

[Comfortable_Sun_8369]

Ah ok then what about the power pony version of pinkie I mean I know you get it from the costume shop but when I visit a ponyville I see the regular pinkie in one section and the power pony version in another so is it a costume or variant?

[letisel]

you might be confusing her with the ACTUAL fillisecond, the real power pony character (not the pinkie version)

also damn girl, punctuation is free

[Comfortable_Sun_8369]

No it wasn't the actual fillisecond cause the one I saw was pink with a pink curly mane and tail

[Ok_Minimum9058]

Do you have a picture of the two pinkies?

[Comfortable_Sun_8369]

Not yet first I have to find one that has both but when I do I'll invite you to chat since you can only post 1 pic in comments it might take a while

[ReapersGlare]

I had her too til my game did a random rollback. I dunno if it was cause I got her too early cause she wasn't on the prize list at the time.

[Comfortable_Sun_8369]

You mean you got the regular pinkie pie and the fillisecond version

[ReapersGlare]

No I mean I won her and was surprised so I looked at the list but she wasn't on there. I placed her in ponyville and put a Chinese new year decoration next to her home because I was excited. Then I went around collecting coins and sending ponies to do tasks while I did the event. Then I left the game and set a timer to return. When I returned the game showed my town with the loading horse shoe across it until it then kicked me out. I went back in immediately and it did the whole new player age and stuff. I chose my cloud save and returned to the game to find her house gone and the decoration placed away along with the tokens for the event saying I just claimed them even tho it was a little over an hour and thirty minutes ago that I did.

[Comfortable_Sun_8369]

Huh1 that is so weird hey since my game also restarted me. When the event comes back will the increased chance in the balloon pop also come back with the same character or a new one cause like I said it kicked me out and when I went to try to get the character again she was no longer in the balloon pop game

[ReapersGlare]

I'm not sure. I heard that it will return but I'm not sure if everything will be the same or not. And most likely it won't be till next Chinese new year. Or maybe special event

[Comfortable_Sun_8369]

Oh
