Guillotine (move): Difference between revisions

|gameimage=Guillotine IX.png

|accuracy=30

Guillotine always inflicts exactly 65535 [[HP]] damage if it hits. Its [[accuracy]] is 30%. Guillotine will break a {{OBP|substitute|doll}} if it hits.

 

Unlike other moves that skip the [[damage]] formula, Guillotine does not bypass type immunities.

===Generation II===

Guillotine now inflicts damage equal to the target's current HP. The accuracy of Guillotine is now calculated using the following formula:

 

<math>Accuracy = \left( \frac{(Level_{user}-Level_{target}) \times 2 + 76}{256}\right) \times 100\%</math>

 

 

This formula means that the accuracy starts at approximately 30% (<math>\tfrac{76}{256}</math>) when the Pokémon have the same level, and grows by approximately 0.78% (<math>\tfrac{2}{256}</math>) for every level higher than the target that the user is. This accuracy is affected by {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} stats.

Despite having an accuracy of 30% listed, Guillotine's chance of hitting a Pokémon is instead calculated using the following formula:

<math>HitChance = (Level_{user}-Level_{target} + 30)\%</math>

This formula means that the accuracy starts at 30% when the Pokémon have the same level, and is 1% more likely to hit for every level the user is higher than the target. If the user is at least 70 levels higher than the target, Guillotine will always hit. If the user is a lower [[level]] than the target, the move always fails.

This chance of hitting is not an accuracy: it is not affected by {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} stats, nor is it affected by other accuracy modifiers such as {{m|Gravity}}, [[Wide Lens]], and {{a|Compound Eyes}}. Additionally, Guillotine cannot hit a [[Semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable]] Pokémon. However, effects that guarantee moves to hit (such as {{a|No Guard}} and {{m|Lock-On}}) still affect Guillotine.

 

When used in a [[Max Raid Battle]] against a [[Dynamax]] Pokémon while it is under the effect of a mysterious barrier, Guillotine will deplete two bars of the barrier's strength. Otherwise, Guillotine will always fail against Dynamax Pokémon. [[Tera Raid]] bosses are unaffected by Guillotine.

Guillotine defeats the target in one hit. Prior to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], Guillotine knocks out the target by dealing "calamitous damage" (Japanese: '''とてつもない タメージ''' ''tremendous damage'') which is internally treated as 9999 damage. Additionally, it will fail against {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.

* In ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]'', a {{p|Pinsir}} that {{adv|Emerald}} was renting from the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} was revealed to know Guillotine by Emerald's [[Pokédex]].

* The {{p|Axew}} and {{p|Pawniard}} [[evolution]]ary lines, as well as {{p|Kartana}}, can learn this move despite all seven lacking pincers (which are necessary for the move, as indicated by the move description and Japanese name). However, in the anime, Pawniard and {{p|Bisharp}} are seen using this move by slashing at the opponent with their blades.
