* With the exception of {{m|Swift}}, every attack had at least a 1/256 chance of missing. This is because the game checks for accuracy by generating a value ranging from 0 to 255. The generated number is compared with the accuracy of the used move, which is also set as a value ranging from 0 to 255 (with 255 representing 100% accuracy).
