Hello i have a question I had an idea for a deck using the new promo malamar with the ability contrary who said quote: 'If this pokemon is your active pokemon, whenever your oponent flips a coin during his or her turn, treat it as tails' and malamar ex tu put my oponent to sleep and with the ability of the new malamar make my oponents pokemon to stay sleep forever until the know out, but since the coin flip for sleep is in-betwen turns the ability would work to make the oponent active pokemon sleep all the time or did he still flip a coin to see if his pokemon wakes up? I hope you can answer my question thanks

Can you please post an English scan of the card in question so we can answer this question accurately. Thank you.
 
As the coin flip for sleep occurs in between turns, it does not count as during your opponent's turn and it is not affected by Malamar's ability. Therefore it cannot force a Tails flip.
 
Funnily, right now on TCGO it does prevent waking up. Obviously from the wording of the card, this is a bug. I just sent TPCi a support ticket on the matter.
