scald and other moves socond effects rate

[Guest alanudao]

I think this topic already been approached, but as i saw that many people has this feeling, im almost sure its not just coincidence. The rate of inflicting status conditions of this moves ( scald, body slam and will-o-wisp ) may be some sort of broken. I became more certain of that when i recently started to play pokemon showndown. As i only had played pokemon's pvp in PRO, i became very surprised how i could miss burn 4 times in a roll using scald :Shocked: , as here if i miss the burn for 3 times i already consider the game is against me haha. so here is the list of the probabilities it fells to me after 800 games in PRO's ranked . ( not an exact number, just an estimative based in my experience and of some friends)

 

 

Scald's chance to burn:

should be: 30%

fells to be in PRO: 60% ( as it seems that there is more chance to burn then not)

 

Body slam"s chance to paralyze:

should be 30%

fells to be: at least 50% ( hav less experience with this move than scald, based almost just with snorlax's body slam, that are more common for me to face here in pvp matches)

 

will-o-wisp's chance to burn: i really think the rate of w-o-w 's burn here is quite lower then it should be, cuz here when i used it, adquired unconfidence on the move was aways afraid of the miss, and not just one time it misses couple times in a roll ( okay it could be just bad luck, but i wanted to express what im feeling), on the other hand on pokemon showdown it very rare to miss just one w-o-w.

 

should be: 85%

fells to be: 60-70%

 

to complete this report, i ask here if someone of the red server could do an statistical work with me, battling , using these moves several times and uses the data to estimate the burn/paralyze rates. lets confirm if is there a bug or not xD

It is a known bug and it got reported a few times

Yeah totaly agree,

U can add ice bime and ice punch who have more than 10% of chance to froz in Pro

[Guest UnknownUser11]

They do not have more than 10%, its just unlucky.

[Guest UnknownUser11]

Its RNG, you cant statistically figure that out.

You just get lucky and unlucky.

 

But lets say a move has a 10% chance to freeze or something.

the code in the server is like this (replace move chance with your number..)

 

if( (rand() % 100 + 1) < moveChance ) {

do freeze or whatever..

}
