Switching gear farming gets better drop rates?

So as most of u know, it can be rought when u go to a fight and just tap that "sim" button over and over again, hoping to see a purple box flash up but only to see dissapointment.
We can wind up wasting a ton of energy for about a 1/8 to a 1/15 drop rate. Its crazy.

Well, i noticed that after i finish a gear and move to the next one, i start off pretty good. I once got 10 purple bullets in 120 energy when i started to farm them one time. But after i hit it up i feel the drop rate dwindles.

So i tested it out. I needed purple compinks, computersa and bullets. I farmed each 10 times then moved to the next and kept cycling around. Obviously thats 30 purple peices and im still 5 away for computers, but (disregarding the STR challenge) i definetly noticed a better drop rate.

Anyone else fell that "switching gears" makes for better drop rates?

    Awesome!
    Pikachu doesn't always drink alcohol, but when he does, he chooses Colt 45.

    Likely its RNG doing RNG things. If you think there is an effect though, go ahead and track your theory over a week or two, and get real statistics for your numbers. I'm sure someone else has already done the standard sim mash for you to compare it to.

    I saw the Virgin Mary in a tortilla once, then I got purples. They have to be related.
