Question about 'Guillotine' move accuracy calculation

[Alisaquilae]

Hi there,

 

I am stuck with a certain question regarding the move 'guillotine'. After asking said question in the discord, I was redirected to the forums. Since I'm rather new here, I dont exactly know where to post this, so if it should have been asked somewhere else, my apologies.

 

The move 'Guillotine's accuracy is calculated as follows: ( ( user_level - target_level) + 30 )%. This means that the accuracy is influenced by the enemy level. My question is what the accuracy would be when I am facing an enemy with a ? ? ? as its level, for example during gym battles. The first response in the discord appeared to suggest that a rough estimate of the average level of the gym is calculated as follows: (#gym x 10) + 5, and that the accuracy of the move is calculated using this amount. However, the person who answered this didnt seem to be sure, which is why I'm asking here now.

 

Thanks in advance?

Hello @AlisAquilae!

 

As you have stated, Guillotine's Accuracy is dependent on the User and Target's Levels. NPCs whose Pokemon show ? ? ? as their level, do in fact have a Set Level, but this level is hidden from the Player.

 

As an example, using your rough estimate for the average level of the gym for Cinnabar Gym, a Guillotine from a Level 80 Kingler will have about 35% accuracy, from the Player's Perspective, on the Trainer's Pokemon there, while there is an exact accuracy calculated with the Set Level of the NPC.

 

I hope this cleared up any confusion regarding ? ? ? Level Pokemon. If you have anymore questions, concerns, issues, or if you understand, please do not hesitate to reply!

 

I hope you have a nice day!
