The coin flip on Snorlax is ONLY for the Paralyze condition. The 30 damage is guaranteed. > 2. Say you have a pokemon who puts someone to sleep.

If I use base set Gastly's Sleeping Gas attack move, I would have to retire from writing about the Pokemon TCG. Base set Gastly is a REAL STINKY card! Ah, but back to your rules question: If you used Base set Gastly's Sleeping Gas, YOU would have to flip a coin to see if my Pokemon was put to sleep. If YOU flipped heads, then my Pokemon is immediately put to sleep. Now, BEFORE my turn starts, all poison/paralysis/sleep conditions kick in, and _I_ get to flip a coin to see if MY Pokemon wakes up. So in effect, two HEADS must be flipped in a row in order for Base set Gastly's Sleeping Gas to do ANYTHING! ick! Brian Brokaw
