One-hit knockout move: Difference between revisions
"One-hit KO" is what's actually used in-game... while neither "one-hit knockout" or "OHKO" are. This really should be moved to the official term but eh, as long as it's at least *mentioned*....

'''One-hit knockout moves''', commonly abbreviated as '''OHKO moves''', are moves that, when used, cause the target's HP to drop to zero regardless of their [[stats]]. They are all highly inaccurate: given that their effect is to immediately make the target faint, to have them much more accurate would further encourage their use to quickly and easily finish battles. | '''One-hit knockout moves''', commonly abbreviated as '''one-hit KO moves''' or '''OHKO moves''', are moves that, when used, cause the target's HP to drop to zero regardless of their [[stats]].

When used, they will always fail if the level of the target is higher than the level of the user, except in [[Generation I]], where they would fail if the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat was lower than the target's. | When used, they will always fail if the level of the target is higher than the level of the user, except in [[Generation I]], where they would fail if the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat was lower than the target's. | ||
