'''Accuracy''' is an aspect of moves that determine how often they can hit their target. A move's base accuracy currently can be any number from {{tt|30%|Only one-hit knockout moves can have 30% accuracy without accuracy or evasion stat changes, but they display it as —}} to 100%, usually in multiples of 5. | '''Accuracy''' is an aspect of moves that determine how often they can hit their target.

Many moves have an accuracy of "—%", indicating that they are exempt from accuracy calculations. This is usually because they affect no one but the user (and/or the partner in a [[Double Battle]]), or because they will never miss the target (excluding [[type]] immunities) unless the target uses a move that grants invulnerability for the turn (such as {{m|Protect}}, or the first stage of {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}). However, the situation for [[one-hit knockout move]]s is very different; the accuracy varies based on the difference between the user's | Many moves have an accuracy of "—%", indicating that they are exempt from accuracy calculations.

Accuracy can be increased by [[Ability|Abilities]] or [[held item]]s, such as {{a|Compoundeyes}} raising the user's accuracy by 30%, {{a|Victory Star}} raising a Pokémon's accuracy by 10%, and the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wide Lens}} boosting accuracy by 10%. | Accuracy can be increased by [[Ability|Abilities]] or [[held item]]s, such as {{a|Compoundeyes}} raising the user's accuracy by 30%, {{a|Victory Star}} raising a Pokémon's accuracy by 10%, and the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wide Lens}} boosting accuracy by 10%. | ||
