Bullet Seed Bug and some flinches problems

[Cosanostra]

Hi,

 

Normaly, with bullet seed you can make until 5 hits

Actually in PRO it's 4 hits, after 300 games with breloom i never see 5 hits with bullet seed, only 4 hits maximum. This move hits 5 times only with skill link poke like Cincinno for example, but not with other poke without skill link ability

I send you link of an old thread about this topic

https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/94162-url

Icicle spear seems to be fixed, i don't test for pin missile which can be interesting if some people want to play this move with mega beedrill.

 

Another topic, it's about the flinch, i really think that probability of flinch with icicle crash and iron head is not around 30% but around 80-90%, I make 500 games this season, and i saw many friends play in Pvp I can assure you that the rate is extremely high, not around 30%. I can't prove it but i just inform you about my experience.

 

Best regards,

Hello @CosaNostra,

 

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. The multi-hit moves are currently bugged. One of the issues is indeed never hitting 5 times unless used by a Skill Link pokemon. This was already fixed on test server and will be live with the upcoming client update. The other issues you may find are the hits not having individual rolls and critical hit chance (they'll do the same damage and if there's a critical hit all hits will do x1.5 the normal damage) and the chances of hitting 2, 3, 4 or 5 hits are the same, 25%. The Developers are aware and these moves will be reworked (solving all of its problems) sometime after the Mega update drops.

 

Regarding the flinching, we all have experienced or heard from friends what it looks like unfair RNG. So a couple of months ago our Tester team came up with a decently sized sample where we tested Rock Slide's chance of flinching and missing:

- Out of 649 Rock Slides used, 67 (10.3%) missed.

- The 582 Rock Slides that hit, 173 (29.7%) resulted in a flinch.

Even now I've checked and got 7 flinches out of 24 Iron Heads (29.2%). I know from my player experience that there are flinches in a specific turn which make you win/lose games instantly and that alters our perception of reality, but if you cannot provide solid evidence of what you claim I'm afraid we can't do anything about it.

 

If you have any more doubts regarding this topic, feel free ask.

 

Thanks for reporting. Have a nice day!
