:::::::Percent is percent, yes, but 1 out of 20 HP is 5%, while 1 out of 200 HP is 0.5%. Like I said, it's only actually significant at exactly 1 HP. Usually you don't actually know the Pokémon's exact current HP, so there's an unavoidable margin of error there either way, but by calculating the actual max HP we can get guaranteed exact results at full and 1 HP (this is why I have a special "exactly 1 HP" option, separate from "1%"). And while the results at full HP will be pretty much identical no matter what the actual max HP is, there are rounding errors that this allows for taking into account accurately, which I like to do because as I said, I like precision. | :::::::Percent is percent, yes, but 1 out of 20 HP is 5%, while 1 out of 200 HP is 0.5%.

:::::::Please consider that maybe I know what I'm talking about. I've spent a ''lot'' of time on these pages and calculators; I assure you I didn't just throw the level in there for no reason.

::::::::Of course I know what you mean. For 1 HP remaining the level is a factor. But as long as you don't know the IV exactly, it's not precise, right? ;) Yes, it's close enough.<br> | |||
::::::::But I wonder why the result is also influenced, when I set neither 100% nor 1 HP but e.g. 40%? A percentage is already most precise and independent from the level! I have seen there differences of over three percent between level 1 and 100 which is a large amount and no rounding errors. Just want to understand that phenomenon and why I can't calculate these results with the formulas on Bulbapedia... --- Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|<sub>Questions?</sub>]] -- 11:29, 11 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
