See, that's why I'm having a hard time understanding this. If there really is a 1/64 chance they'll drop a tail, that means the odds of them dropping are the same odds as finding one in a random encounter. Well, I've fought countless random encounters. It really isn't even that hard to find them. I play for about two hours per day and in that time I usually fight 3-5 of them. There have been three times now where I've actually fought two pinkpuff battles in a row. So why no tail? I sure as heck have beaten more than 64 pinkpuff groups. I know statistics don't really work out so that you're guarenteed one after 64 battles, but then again, when I first started looking for the things I counted my battles. I found a PP group exactly 64 battles in, then another at 32, and again at 128. So maybe those numbers actually are accurate for the game. But whether they are or not, 1/64 doesn't seem to me like it should be taking this long.

I don't know. Maybe someone with a better grasp on math can explain this to me. I don't know how I passed my stats course, but I definitely didn't deserve to. The only thing I remember is "null hypothesis."
