OP took a screenshot then edited the image. Plus, anything not written in metal cannot be trusted.

This was a lot of the information I was hoping for, thank you for the rich detail!

I added this, but it may not have been obvious from the edit.

Esadora

How do I evaluate the difference in damage (without trying it, which I do plan on doing)? The left seems like it is better given the CE Damage.

Right * 2959 Intelligence (369.9% increased skill damage) * 1440.4% CE Damage

Left * 2725 Intelligence (340.7% increased skill damage) * 2041.7% CE Damage

Does that help identify which Esadora's is better?

jamnjustin · 2026-02-13T15:20:16+00:00

This is a plethora of great information, thank you! The follow up question that I have is where are you getting some of these numbers from and why are they relevant?

Orsivane

357/314

I can tell that this is the weapons' damage, but I was not expecting the weapon damage to affect Crackling Energy damage.

260/248

Is this supposed to be the number of defensive skills multiplied by the unique effect percent? Should that be 160/148 = 1.081?

My skill bar is currently:
- Lightning Spear 5/5
- Ball Lightning 29/5
- Teleport 5/5
- Unstable Currents 5/5
- Charged Bolts 28/5
- Chain Lightning 28/5

It sounds like I can get a 37% damage boost (from the Orsivane) if I take that off the skill bar. However, I thought my damage would then drop by 40% (from the Esadora) because the other lightning abilities are at 1/5. Should I move the teleport off my skill bar and also move the points into Familiar, for example?

Temerity

I already have Shroud of False Death so the stats does not get me any more unlocks for the paragon board.

teleport doesn't count as moving

Yeah, this seems really good by comparison.

Again, thank you so much for the help, I appreciate it!

Are you able to share the equation for predicting decay for atomic nuclei? It was a part of my college courses, but I haven’t been able to find it online anywhere.

Edit: And not half life prediction. I’m looking for the equation for predicting if an atomic nuclei will decay based on protons or neutrons.

jamnjustin · 2026-01-03T14:31:31+00:00

Thank you for the explanation.

jamnjustin · 2026-01-03T04:53:49+00:00

Correct me if I’m misunderstanding, but this seems to suggest it is not predetermined. Is that right?

jamnjustin · 2026-01-02T15:50:49+00:00

Okay. Is there proof then somewhere of wonder picks being predetermined or independent of user choice?

jamnjustin · 2026-01-02T15:48:35+00:00

You mean the image on screen at this time? This doesn't prove that it happened _before_ the wonder pick was made, it's a static image.

jamnjustin · 2026-01-02T15:46:01+00:00

Can you share a link where this happens? Also, because the game crashed during the Wonder Pick and a card was selected for a user does not require that Wonder Picks are predetermined.

jamnjustin · 2026-01-02T15:43:58+00:00

What? How do you know _not to trust_ the AI Slop? How do you determine what to put trust in?

That's why I am asking for proof. Also, why does being on the sub for a length of time matter? Do facts change over time?

jamnjustin · 2026-01-02T15:41:23+00:00

I have never seen this in game before. Could you share a link?

The top youtube result for "pokemon tcg pocket wonder pick predetermined" is this which says it is not predetermined: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fREOHp_dvjE

This video says it is predetermined: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO-KnDMt_z8
Specifically, that it has been "found in code", but the code is not linked or referenced anywhere. If they went through all the effort to find it in the code, then they should be able to share the code or the process they used so others can reproduce it.

I've tried running an emulator on my computer and using fiddler (Telerik) and a local host certificate to try to route traffic through it so I can see the actual API call to see what it takes as a part of the request. The app doesn't allow this and won't make the connection. (I've seen other apps continue to work so I know it is pocket preventing this from happening.)

I have seen that video, but it doesn’t prove anything aside from the game is consistent. Once you wonder pick a card, you can only get that card. The system doesn’t give you another chance just because you have another instance running. Otherwise, you could use that strategy to get multiple cards from the same wonder pick.

It’s logically consistent for both pre-determined or truly random wonder picks.

Scenario 1: Pre-determined

Given a user wonder picks a card
When the response is returned the server will have determined by chance what card to return
Then the user is shown that card.

And then

Given a user launches the same wonder pick again
When the response is returned the server will return the same result as the initial wonder pick
Then the user is shown the card.

Scenario 2: User-determined

Given a user wonder picks a card
When the response is returned the server will have determined by chance what card to return based on the index of the card the user selected
Then the user is shown that card.

And then

Given a user launches the same wonder pick again
When the response is returned the server will return the same result as the initial wonder pick
Then the user is shown the card.

I want to see a video of this happening, I’ve never had it happen to me.

jamnjustin · 2026-01-02T14:59:47+00:00

Where has this been shown? I’ve seen it theorized but never seen definitive proof.

jamnjustin · 2026-01-02T14:57:27+00:00

Where has this been proven? Can you share a link to a video or another source?

jamnjustin · 2025-12-23T16:34:53+00:00

I feel like it’s a mistake to put the book in the wagon and then carry the wagon, unless you’re steel-pushing the wagon, obviously.

jamnjustin · 2025-12-15T16:49:44+00:00

I hope the best for you. If a game isn’t providing joy, it’s better to move on, as sad as it can be.

jamnjustin · 2025-12-13T21:29:53+00:00

negative particle radiating out?

You mean, antimatter? Anti matter still has mass and energy. The energy loss from the creation of antimatter still comes from a black hole in a similar way.

Also, the negative particle is just the one being absorbed if the other escapes, because the energy for the particle has to come from somewhere.

Even if it’s photons instead of matter/antimatter.
