In the case of these two specific cards, how would you properly conduct the coin flipping process if Darkrai puts Snorlax to sleep with Abyssal Sleep?
Your opponent flips 2 coins instead of 1 and if either of them are tails, they're still asleep.
That's like asking "this poisons the Pokemon, but this card poisons itself, does the Pokemon get poisoned?"
Flip four coins, obviously.
>Darkrai's "Abyssal Sleep" Coin Flip 1: Heads
>Darkrai's "Abyssal Sleep" Coin Flip 2: Heads
>Snorlax' "Stir and Snooze" Coin Flip 1: Heads
>Snorlax' Stir and Snooze" Coin Flip 2:Tails
That's how it goes.

That's what I was thinking. You can't be double poisoned, double confused, etc.
I just wasn't 100% certain.
>>26579206
That's what my friend suggested.
Both of these responses seem right in their own way.

It was a joke post. >>26579203 is correct. I mean, how absurdly stupid is the four coin thing? Nobody would want to do that.
Hell, why isn't there an official ruling on this? I tried to look it up, and found nothing.
>>26579304
Your friend is wrong. The cards specifically state you flip two coins, it isn't phrased in a more dynamic way like "flip double the amount of coins". Flipping only two coins violates none of the enforced conditions on either card. Abyssal Sleep's effect is just redundant on Snorlax in particular.
The effects don't stack.

I couldn't find anything either, which lead me here looking for some input on this scenario.
