Test results for Box of Clockwork Grundos in one-player battledome...500 uses:
Many thanks to pandora268 for letting me borrow it for my tests :)

Chance of drawing one grundo: 13.6%
Chance of drawing two grundos: 37.6%
Chance of drawing three grundos: 38.4%
Chance of drawing four grundos: 10.4%
Average grundos per draw: 2.46

Most common grundos drawn: (in terms of #, not frequency)
Yellow: 26.87%
Red: 25.41%
Brown: 24.43%
Blue: 23.29%

Most common grundos drawn: (in terms of frequency)
Brown: 49.2%
Yellow: 48.8%
Red: 48.8%
Blue: 47.2%

NOTE: Example of the difference between the two percentages: Let's say I draw three times. one Red on the first, one yellow on the second, three blue on the third. The percentage of blue by number is 60% (3/5), yet the frequency per draw is only 33% (1/3)
NOTE: Yellow=light, Red=fire, Brown=earth, and Blue=air icons
NOTE: Grundos do just the icon-type that corresponds to their colour....9-15 icons each
NOTE: If you doubt me and want to quote IDB/ temporarily blocked 's icons at me for the grundos, DON'T. I could do screenshots of 15 icons from all types, and 9 icons from red (fire) and yellow (light) [see below], and 10 icons from blue (air) and brown (earth). I'll admit to a little assumption on my part that if 2 can do 9 icons, the other 2 can as well. So shoot me.
