Divide this value by 100 to get the actual accuracy. In [[Generation I]], this value was 0-255 and divided by 256, which explains why sometimes attacks like {{M|Swift}} missed. This no longer happens in [[Generation III]]. This value is also set to 0 to reach 100% accuracy. | ||
* '''Effect accuracy''' determines probability that the effect associated with a given move will happen. Divide this value by 100 to get the actual effect's accuracy.

It can be selected target, user, both foes, random foe, both foes and partner, field, opponent field (Spikes) and last opponent who moved. The following table indicates which value matches a certain target type. | * '''Affects whom''' determines who the move will hit on a 2 on 2 battle.

Please note that it is theorically possible to combine those values. For example, you could have a move with this value set to 0x18. This would mean it would affect everyone except partner. But, no move seems to use such a combination in the games. | Please note that it is theorically possible to combine those values. For example, you could have a move with this value set to 0x18.

This byte is signed, i.e. this value can be either positive or negative. If it is stricly less than 0x80 (128) then you got the actual value. If not, the actual value equals: -1 * (256 - Current Value). Thus, value 0xFE (254) must be treated as -2 instead. | ||
* '''Contact''' determines whether there is physical contact during the attack or not, for determining effects of certain [[abilities]] such as Static and Rough Skin. This byte also determines whether this move is affected by items such as King's Rock or Brightpowder. | * '''Contact''' determines whether there is physical contact during the attack or not, for determining effects of certain [[abilities]] such as {{A|Static}} and {{A|Rough Skin}}.
