OK, this is a lot more complicated than it seemed. Some people on here are good at maths so I thought I'd see if they could help.

Suppose I play this Victini and use V-Blast
I think that my odds of getting 2 heads are 1 in 4. Correct?
Now, supposing I fail, but have this Victini on the Bench to help me out
I now get to re-flip the coins and try again.
So, my question is: what are the combined odds of me hitting the two heads over the two separate events?
In other words, how much does having Victory Star Victini out increase my chances of a successful V-Blast? Or to put it in yet another way, is the second Victini worth playing?
Again, I know the maths is a lot harder than it looks, so I'd really appreciate the help.
