Multi-strike move: Difference between revisions
Undo revision 1762983 by IWannaBeTheVeryBest (talk)They are independent events. That is not how probability works.
(→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) |

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). | ||
