Critical hit: Difference between revisions

In {{g|Stadium}}, critical hit probabilities are determined with a different formula, <code>(BaseSpeed + 76) / 1024</code>{{tt|*|(Base Speed + 76 ≫ 2 ≪ 1 ≫ 1) / 256}}. Compared to the handheld games, this causes Pokémon with a base speed of lower than 76 to land critical hits more often and Pokémon with a base speed of higher than 76 to land critical hits less often. As in the handheld games, moves with a high critical-hit ratio are eight times more likely to land a critical hit, giving a formula of <code>(BaseSpeed + 76) / 128</code>{{tt|*|(Base Speed + 76 ≫ 2 ≪ 1 ≪ 2) / 256}}. The effect of Focus Energy now correctly increases the critical hit rate, by changing the formula to <code>(BaseSpeed + 236) / 512</code>{{tt|*|(Base Speed + 76 ≫ 2 ≪ 2 + 160 ≫ 1) / 256}}; this stacks with the use of a high critical hit rate move (<code>(BaseSpeed + 236) / 64</code>{{tt|*|(Base Speed + 76 ≫ 2 ≪ 2 + 160 ≪ 2) / 256}}). While the 1/256 move accuracy error was fixed in Stadium, the probability of landing a critical hit is still capped at 255/256.
