'''One-hit knockout moves''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|一撃必殺|いちげきひっさつ}}わざ''' ''one-hit knockout move''), commonly abbreviated as '''one-hit KO moves''' or '''OHKO moves''', are [[move]]s whose effect is to immediately drop the target's {{stat|HP}} to zero. When such a move successfully hits, the game will display the message "It's a one-hit KO!" (or simply "One-hit KO!" in Generation I). | '''One-hit knockout moves''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|一撃必殺|いちげきひっさつ}}わざ''' ''one-hit knockout move''), commonly abbreviated as '''one-hit KO moves''' or '''OHKO moves''', are [[move]]s whose effect is to immediately drop the target's {{stat|HP}} to zero.

In [[Generation I]], their [[accuracy]] is very low (30%), but they would automatically fail if the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat was lower than the target's. In later [[generation]]s, they instead automatically fail if the target is of a higher [[level]] than the user, and their accuracy starts at 30% and increases for each level the user is above the target. | ||
The accuracy of OHKO moves are fixed to the above formula, and will not be affected by {{stat|Accuracy}} or {{stat|Evasion}} stats. For example, holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wide Lens}} will not make OHKO moves any more likely to hit, and using {{m|Double Team}} will not make them any less likely to hit. However, effects such as that of the Ability {{a|No Guard}}, the item {{DL|Battle item|X Accuracy}} in [[Generation II]] or earlier, or the move {{m|Lock-On}} will allow OHKO moves to always hit. | The accuracy of OHKO moves are fixed to the above formula, and will not be affected by {{stat|Accuracy}} or {{stat|Evasion}} stats.
