→Flinch chance

I don't know the answer to your question, PeakA, but I do want to point out that if both hits have a 30% chance, then the move overall has only a 51% flinch rate, not 60% as you stated. That other 9% is accounted for by the times when both hits individually would cause the flinch; you're double-counting them in the 60% figure. (Easy way to see this: if there were 4 hits with a 30% chance each, of course there could not be a 120% chance of getting a flinch.) | I don't know the answer to your question, PeakA, but I do want to point out that if both hits have a 30% chance, then the move overall has only a 51% flinch rate, not 60% as you stated.

Okay I see why the 51% flinch rate works. But would that mean if a Pokémon with the ability [[Serene Grace (Ability)|Serene Grace]] used [[m|Double Iron Bash]], would the overall flinch chance be 102%? Because if so then that would be a guaranteed flinch on any Pokémon who doesn’t have [[Inner Focus (Ability)|Inner Focus]] which doesn’t seem correct.
