Multi-strike move: Difference between revisions

→‎Trivia: User Eberzehn came up with those figures. If the items cause a 10% chance PER HIT, then 10% is multiplied by the number of hits. Eberzehn's numbers make no sense and aren't even explained. We always ignore the possibility of missing

**While no multi-strike move can cause a foe to flinch by itself, if the user is holding a [[King's Rock]] or a [[Razor Fang]], each hit is taken into account, increasing the probability of flinching to be higher than other moves. Taking into account the probability of each number of hits to occur, 2-5 hit moves have a 27% chance of causing flinching (41% with {{a|Skill Link}}), 2 hit moves have a 19% chance, and 3 hit moves have a 27% chance (ignoring the possibility of missing).
