What happened to Accuracy here?

Jul. 3, 2017

I was training an Eevee to become an Umbreon. It was battling a Rattata, and both Pokemon were at low health. Rattata had more speed. So Rattata used Tackle, but Eevee somehow dodged the attack and won. Eevee as at Level 4, so it did not know/use Sand Attack. Neither Pokemon was equipped with an item. And Tackle had 100% Accuracy, right? How did Eevee dodge the attack? Eevee didn’t love me, either. Accruacy and Evasiveness were both unaffected.

Your Eevee was fighting an Alolan Rattata, right? If so, the reason isthe Rattata had the abilityHustle. Hustle increases the bearer’s Attack stat by 50% in exchange for decreasing the accuracy of all its physical moves by 20%. So in this case, Tackle had 80% accuracy and had a chance of missing.
