No, unfortunately you are Unlucky, either that or maybe lets do the math here, I did not know that card balls increase the chances into 50% so lets do that. Let's see of what is the chances of not getting a plat/shiny card, so lets say 100% for doing 2 shiny, so convert it into a whole number or a decimal, we get 1, so lets add that 1 to another 1 from the other which is the one with plat cards to get 2, and then we get another 2 from the normal alolan exeggutors, since we converted it, so basically you had a 4 out of 100 percent chance, or a 4 out of 10 percent chance,
Please correct my math if i'm wrong, im still rusty
Edit: Fixed Grammar. And Math
Thanks for the reply. I'm going by the 50% chance for shinies/plats as that's what is in the custom mechanics guide. Has that been updated somewhere?
Adding the 200 or so I fainted should've been 1% per faint, along with 27 normals (non shiny/plat) I caught with card balls (5% card rate) so that's another absolutely massive huge chunk which didn't give me a card.
Basically, catching 4 shinies and plats at 50% chance each (with card ball), fainting 200+ normals at 1% each and catching 27 normals at 5% (with card ball) each did not yield even the worst 1.25% card. Surely there's bad luck, then this haha?
Edit: just worked this out, and the chances of all the above happening is 0.53%....these chances are lower than catching a beldum at full hp/no status afflictions with only 1 pokeball in this game.
