NikhilR Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) I battled 4 NPCs today, of which I faced 1 Pinsir and 3 Seakings. Both those pokemon hit their OHKO moves, Guillotine and Horn Drill respectively, without even missing once. Is there an actual nerf that I'm unaware of, or is this just pure luck?

Bishav Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Behind the scenes RNG buff. D-deja vu? Kyu(now): You're just unlucky Kyu(in 10 months): We made this change 10 months ago and failed to add it in the change logs. GBush, NikhilR and LuisPocho 3 Link to comment
Tyrone Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 OHKO moves should've remained at 0% accuracy. No-counterplay mechanics are obviously broken, even in PvE. Link to comment

Inb4 they still are 0% accuracy but Nik just has really really bad RNG. But I do agree that OHKO moves are really no fun and I'm not entirely sure if it's fair for NPCs to use them.

Maybe I do really have bad RNG, but my inner "conspiracy Keanu" feels like there has been some nerf. Edited February 25, 2017 by NikhilR Link to comment
RyukoNotsunaga Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) As far as I'm aware, it isn't 100%. Before I had finished clearing the Sevii Islands on my alt, a Hiker NPC's Pokémon used Fissure against one of my Pokémon, whose level was lower than the Pokémon using Fissure, and it missed twice. Dunno if it at least got buffed or not, though. :3. *Edit: Unless I was using a Pokémon whose level was higher, and I forgot, that is.* Edited February 25, 2017 by RyukoNotsunaga Link to comment

Rache Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 OHKO moves don't have 100% accuracy unless you are on a significantly lower level than the user. These moves don't have flat accuracy - it scales depending on the level difference between the Pokemon, with a Pokemon on a higher level having a greater chance to hit an opponent on a lower level, and a lower leveled Pokemon being less likely to hit a higher leveled opponent.

There was like 6-7 levels difference between my Venusaur and the Seaking. And there was like 4-5 difference between my Scizor and the opposing Pinsir. All of those were 100% ohko. When Rendiz faced those Seakings twice, his Venu was at flat 50 and horn drill missed twice and then hit the third time. So I guess your explanation does make some sense but I feel like the level gap for determining the accuracy is quite less. I was under the impression that the accuracy was flat 30% , so is this something that Devs had changed or was it always like this? Link to comment

Even in the handhelds, OHKO moves have never simply had 30% accuracy - there has always been some sort of modifier or a condition in which it will always fail. Link to comment

I was beginning to wonder if the game hated me with ohko moves hitting with full certainty. You can lock this. Link to comment
