Horn Drill has 30% accuracy and inflicts damage equal to the target's current {{stat|HP}}. Horn Drill will break a {{m|substitute}} if it hits. Horn Drill cannot be countered by {{m|Counter}} (not even if it misses).
Horn Drill inflicts damage equal to the target's current {{stat|HP}}. Its [[accuracy]] is 30%. Horn Drill will break a {{m|substitute}} if it hits and cannot be countered by {{m|Counter}}.


Horn Drill will not affect a target whose current {{stat|Speed}} stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.
Horn Drill will not affect a target whose current {{stat|Speed}} stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.

Unlike in Generation I, Horn Drill can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level. The accuracy of Horn Drill depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula
The accuracy of Horn Drill now follows the formula below.
  Accuracy = ((level of user - level of target)*{{tt|0.78|2/256*100}} + 30)%.
  Acc = ( ( user_level - target_level ) * 2/256 + 76/256 ) * 100%
This forumla means that the accuracy starts at approximately 30% and grows by approximately 0.78% for every level higher than the target that the user is.


In the core series games only, Horn Drill can be countered by {{m|Counter}} if it misses, resulting in a OHKO.
Horn Drill's efficacy is no longer based on the target's Speed; instead, now it cannot affect a target that has a higher [[level]] than the user.
 
In the core series games only, it can be countered by {{m|Counter}} for maximum damage if it misses.

Horn Drill's chance of hitting is now independent of {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} stats; instead, it depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula
The formula for Horn Drill's accuracy is now:
Accuracy = ((level of user - level of target) + 30)%.
Acc = ( ( user_level - target_level ) + 30 ) * 100%
 
Horn Drill's chance of hitting is now unaffected by {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} stats.
