In Generations I and II, accuracy and evasion stages are resolved separately and both multipliers applied to the move's accuracy to determine the final chance of a move hitting or missing. For example, a Pokémon with -1 accuracy using a move that has 100% accuracy on a target with +1 evasion would have a <sup>66</sup>/<sub>100</sub> * <sup>66</sup>/<sub>100</sub> ~= 43.56% chance of hitting in Generation I, or a <sup>75</sup>/<sub>100</sub> * <sup>75</sup>/<sub>100</sub> ~= 56.25% chance of hitting in Generation II. In Generation III, this was changed so that the stages of the two stats are now combined before determining the multiplier, with the evasion stage subtracted from the accuracy stage. Therefore, in the above situation, the attacking Pokémon would have a <sup>60</sup>/<sub>100</sub> = 60% chance of hitting.<ref>[http://www.dragonflycave.com/statstages.aspx Dragonfly Cave on stat stages mechanics]</ref> | In Generations I and II, accuracy and evasion stages are resolved separately and both multipliers applied to the move's accuracy to determine the final chance of a move hitting or missing.

Additionally, the combined stages are capped at -6 and +6 from Generation III onward, meaning that a Pokémon with minimum accuracy attacking a target with maximum evasion will have no lower than a <sup>33</sup>/<sub>100</sub> or 33% chance to hit. (For comparison, in Generation II, the attacker would only have a <sup>33</sup>/<sub>100</sub> * <sup>33</sup>/<sub>100</sub> ~= 10.89% chance of hitting.) | Additionally, the combined stages are capped at -6 and +6 from Generation III onward (extra stages are surplus), meaning that a Pokémon with minimum accuracy attacking a target with maximum evasion will have no lower than a <sup>33</sup>/<sub>100</sub> or 33% chance to hit.

In [[Generation IV]], if a Pokémon's [[Ability]] is {{a|Simple}}, then its stats will be multiplied as if the stat change was doubled. For example, a stat raised by one stage will be multiplied as if it were raised by two stages. | In [[Generation IV]], if a Pokémon's [[Ability]] is {{a|Simple}}, then its stats will be multiplied as if the stat change was doubled.
