What determines how many times moves like doubleslap will hit?

Jan. 7, 2014

What determines how many times moves such as doubleslap, fury attack, etc., will hit? This is probably totally unrelated, but it always hits me more just when I wish it wouldn’t… XD

It’s completely random unless the user has the Ability Skill Link then it always hits 5 times.

From Generation V onwards these are the percentages a multi-strike move has a chance to hit 2-5 times:

2 times- 33.3%3 times- 33.3%4 times- 16.7%5 times- 16.7%

Hope I helped :)

As far as I’m concerned and can find out it is completely random, what ever random number your DS can think up between 2-5. However I have discovered some percentages on how likely it is to strike…(Note these are Gen V and VI only)

2 hits = 33.3%3 hits = 33.3%4 hits = 16.7%5 hits = 16.7%

Its luck really, to dodge the multistrike moves just get a fast Pokémon! x3

Hope I Helped! =]
