Video games that only require luck12/13/2023 You don't have to worry immediately on what your opponent is going to do. The TCG you get to focus on the here and now. I say that the VGC is much more luck based than the TCG. It's a tough decision for me, but I'm going to say that the TCG is more luck-based, while the video game is more strategy-based. Since every match (in either game) is different, both games require you to ultimately make the most of what you and your opponent have at any given point in the match. Prediction is a key skill in both, although it's more important in the video games since you and your opponent decide your moves simultaneously. Both games have a "building" process (decks or teams). Strategy, on the other hand, is less black and white. The luck of matchups plays a role in both, but matchups are generally less influential in the video game. The video game "luck list" is a bit more extensive it includes speed ties, variable damage from attacks, critical hits, inaccurate attacks and evasion (though Double Team and Minimize are banned in most unofficial tourneys), a variable number of turns for the Sleep and Freeze statuses, full Paralysis, and status being induced from attacks like Thunderbolt or abilities like Flame Body. Luck in the TCG ultimately boils down to "luck of the draw" (which includes opening hands, prizes, and topdecks) and coin flips. As we all know, both luck and strategy play major roles in both the Pokémon Trading Card Game and the video games.
