Mewtwo eats my CTM

Reroll my only Mewtwo from Phychic to HB. I would save my only CTM now and do it again till I get another one. RNG sucks.

I remember going through six CTMs on my first Mewtwo before finally getting Shadow Ball. Mine went P -> HB -> FB -> HB -> FB -> HB -> SB. RNG is already fickle enough with most Pokemon having 3 charge moves, the extra 4th one makes it that much worse with Mewtwo. Just gotta keep at it fam.

I remember my wife burnt at least 7 CTMs to get her Mewtwo into SB. Sadly I already buried mine on my Kyogre. Perhaps Niantic should introduce something like Targeted CTM that you can choose which move to learn.

They likely did it the way they've done it in an "attempt" to keep people from stockpiling them and keep them coming to raids to get more. Attempt is in quotes because I have about 30 of each and I'm sure others do as well. I also haven't been doing T5 raids nearly as heavily as I used to because the Regis just aren't worth the fuss in the current meta.

If only. I have 25 CTMs and a dozen targets for them, but that's probably only because I keep maxing more and more pokemon for unique solos. Gen 4 release will require anywhere from 50 to 100 CTM so I really hope they introduce a legendary with the release that's actually worth raiding.

How do you figure you'll need so many? Assumed move shuffles and bum luck with caught legendary move sets?

Legendaries aren't a big issue, I only power up one of each so the TM expenditure is pretty minimal.

What creates the potentially massive demand are teams of 6 of Mamoswine, Rhyperior, Togekiss, Honchkrow, Weavile, Magmortar, Electivire, Tangrowth, Roserade etc. There are a lot of mons with meta potential in gen 4 and only 1/3rd are going to evolve with the correct charge move. For the 2/3rds I need to reserve 4-5 CTM per mon because sometimes (I'd like to say often) the RNG is that bad.

I've always found that if I don't get what I want after my 2nd CTM, I restart the App before trying again. Most of the time when I do that, I get the Move I want when I used the next CTM.

MOST of the time, not every time.

Trust me it's rigged. The CTM rng is definitely not 50/50 and in mewtwo's case it is definitely not 25/25/25/25. In my case if i get shadow ball or focus blast i get it in 1 or 2 tms, but i never get psychic.

Anyway I believe Hyper Beam is the useless one.

Technically Mewtwo's would be 33/33/33, not 25/25/25/25. Either way that's just shitty RNG. Contrast to my 6 CTM Mewtwo story above I've also had several cases where it only took one CTM to get the desired move outcome.

Good math! Wondering if anyone ever has done serious hypothesis testing on those odds.

I would be surprised if either GP or TSR didn't collect data on TM usage early on. I've never heard of anyone actually finding statistically significant deviations from the supposed odds.
