ofcourse there will be luck against you but do 1000 battles or 10000 for all I care when you know the odds its never in youre favour ever if there is an 10% chance to crit for example that means 1 in every atack so it sahould avarage out around that right yet its always way higher never way lower no mather how many sets of 1000 you do its always multiple times above the avrageAnecdotal, biased evidence isn't evidence. Again, over 200 battles there will obviously be times where luck goes against you. And the items used are meant to boost the chances of these occurring. You can call it cheating all you like, but it's within the scope of the game and has been since RBY. You're playing the wrong game if it's that big of a concern to you.
I find it funny that 95% of the people know it cheats yet a few % refuse to admit it even though almost anyone knows it thats youre choice but ive never seen an glimmer of proof that its NOT cheating while ive seen so many times that it is in fact cheating heck if I had the odds of things like that at my side I would buy lotery tickets pronto
