🎲 Pokémon & Geometric Distributions – Catching 'Em All with Maths! | Numberphile ft. Tom Crawford

How many Poké Balls do you need to catch a Pokémon?
Join Dr. Tom Crawford as he explores how geometric distributions help explain the probability behind catching Pokémon — and why sometimes that Zubat just won’t stay in the ball.

📌 In this episode:

The math of random chance in Pokémon games

Geometric distributions explained with fun examples

Probability proofs using game mechanics

What this teaches us about real-world randomness

It’s the perfect crossover of math, gaming, and probability theory, only on Numberphile!
