What are the chances of protect failing?

Mar. 10, 2013

So we all know that protect has a higher chance of failing the more times you use it. But what percent of it failing does it have each time you use it?

Bonus question :P:Say I use a pp max on protect. Will the chances of it failing at 1 pp be greater? If so, what’s the percent of it failing?

First protect: 100%Second protect: 50%Third protect: 25%Forth: 12.5%Fifth: 6.25%-WaterTigerTo answer your second question…I don’t really get what you mean. If you used up a turn using the PP Max, then it would not fail the next time you used Protect, because the chances of failing/working reset if you don’t use it consecutively.

First time is 100%. But when you use a move that isn’t protect, protect will return to 100%. If you use it continuously this is the results:First: 100%second: 75%third: 50%fourth: 25%fifth: 1%the extra times you get with a PP max are 1% as well, so the chance of it falling isn’t greater.
