If the target uses Endure it will survive all 10 hits with 1 HP.HenryWong122 (talk) 14:54, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Clarification for Population Bomb + Loaded Dice

Currently: "Each of Population Bomb's strikes has a separate accuracy check. If any strike fails, the move ends. If the user is holding Loaded Dice, only one accuracy check is performed, and it will hit between four and ten times."

Is this saying with Loaded Dice, one accuracy check is performed and if this fails, the move hits 4 times. If it passes, the move hits between 1-6 more times (at random, like most multi-strike moves such as Fury Attack/Swipes)? It would be nice to know how the number of strikes between four and ten is determined with Loaded Dice, if this is known at this time.

One accuracy check is preformed to determine if the attack hits or misses, if the attack is a hit then the move will decide to hit either 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 times.HenryWong122 (talk) 02:38, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Why is the translated name “Proliferation?”

As stated in the Trivia section, the Japanese name of this move (nezumizan) translates to either Mouse Mathematics or Mouse Cut. So why is the translated version of the name in the info box “Proliferation”? It may mean a similar-ish thing, but it removes the meaningfulness of the phrase. Since the phrase is explained in Trivia, I don’t see why it wouldn’t make sense to use it. HopHoppipHarvest (talk) 22:07, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Wrong math

I think that the math used to calculate the accuracy is wrong. For 1 to 9 hits, the math used doesn't assume every hit is consecutive. It takes into consideration that misses can be within the combo, which can't happen. The math should be to multiply 90% by the number of hits. Hitting 7 times in a row would be 0.9^7 or about 47.83%. This is how 10 hits in a row is calculated, too, giving it its accurate 34.87% chance. Zecke (talk) 02:23, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
