Whether a move scores a critical hit is determined by comparing a 1-byte random number (0 to 255) against a 1-byte threshold value (also 0 to 255); if the random number is less than the threshold, the Pokémon scores a critical hit. If the threshold value is ''T'', then this means the probability (''P'') of scoring a critical hit is <code>''P'' = ''T'' / 256</code>.

The value of ''T'' is based on a Pokémon's [[base stats|base]] {{stat|Speed}}. For a normal move, ''T'' is half the base Speed: | The value of ''T'' is based on a Pokémon's [[base stats|base]] {{stat|Speed}}. For a normal move, ''T'' is half the base Speed: | ||
