What are the odds of Emboar hitting if..?

Jul. 20, 2011

He was holding the focus sash and was using Head smash on Togekiss who used air slash on him with Serene grace and bright powder. Based on an ingame battle against Cheren.

Air slash normaly causes flinching 30% of the time. With Serene Grace, that gets multiplied by 2 for a total of flinching 60% of the time, or moving 40% of the time. The evasion is raised 10% due to the bright powder, givig you a 90% chance of hitting. Head smash has a 80% accuracy to begin with; if you don’t flinch. To combine these threefactors, we do some multiplying:40/100 not flinching x 80/100 accuracy x 90/100 evasion = 288000/1000000, or a 28.8% chance of hitting. If I did the math right.

You would have a 30% chance of hitting. Air slash with serene grace makes you flinch 60% of the time. Bright Powder makes you hit 10% of the time less. So 40%-10%=30%!
