Haneroze Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hello~ According to Bulbapedia, Twineedle has a 20% chance to poison on both of its hits, effectively resulting in a 36% chance of poisoning per use. However, Twineedle appears to only have 20% chance to poison per use, as the proc is only counted once at the end of the move. Prerequisites (for testing): - Two players. - Player A has a very low level Beedrill with Twineedle. - Player B has a Steel or Poison type that can survive 20 Twineedles. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Both players fight each other. 2. Player A repeatedly uses Twineedle. 3. Player B repeatedly uses support moves. 4. Count the number of "POISON failed to have any effect" messages. Current Result: The proc chance of Twineedle's poison converges toward 20% per use. Expected Result: The proc chance of Twineedle's poison should converge toward 36% per use. Notes: - Testing it over 5 battles, the total amount of procs was 22 out of 100 uses (Per battles: 6, 4, 5, 2, 5). - The poison still attempt to proc if the first attack of Twineedle faints the opposing pokemon.
