The random number ''R'' is a [[Pseudorandom number generation | The random number ''R'' is a [[Pseudorandom number generation|pseudorandomly]] generated integer between 0 and 255 (inclusive). In international {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} only, if ''R'' is 255, the number is re-generated one-time only; if this re-roll also generates 255, it is not re-rolled again. | ||
In the Generation I handheld games and Pokémon Stadium, if ''R'' is strictly less than ''Accuracy<sub>modified</sub>'', the move hits, otherwise it misses. In the Generation I handheld games, this results in a bug where, unless the accuracy check is skipped entirely, every move has at least a 1 in 256 chance to miss—this is because if ''R'' is 255, it will always be greater than or equal to ''Accuracy<sub>modified</sub>'' regardless of the value of ''Accuracy<sub>modified</sub>''. In international Pokémon Stadium, because ''R'' is re-rolled once if it would be equal to 255, every move instead has at least a 1 in 65,536 chance (256²) to miss. | In the Generation I handheld games and Pokémon Stadium, if ''R'' is strictly less than ''Accuracy<sub>modified</sub>'', the move hits, otherwise it misses.
