I never use moves with 75 accuracy or less, unless if a Pokemon has Compoundeyes.

>>33461453
That's because it's 1/10 chances of missing every time. The chance doesn't sequentially improve after each use. You'd know this if you actually studied statistics and probability.

Useless, cretinous moron.

>>33461417
It becomes like 91% acc. Still better but like Xcom, even 99% means that it will miss when you need it the most.

>>33461461
No, you're the moron
Imagine how unlucky you'd have to be to stumble upon the 1 out of 10 chances to fail half the time

This is why I always use a low-accuracy move before the 90% accuracy move. The first miss makes it more likely that my other attacks will hit, since it's so unlikely to miss twice in a row off of a 90% move.

>>33459512

>Being dumb
I pity you. I'd tell you to read a book on statistics, but you probably can't even read this useful life advice.

Just don't whine to the opponent about hax if you chose to use low accuracy moves and they cost you the game

So many fucking children will kick and scream and whine to me like it's my fault they were too greedy to opt for flame thrower/surf/etc

learn about the concept of independence in statistics. each time an event takes place the same probability of the event remains. each time you use the move there is always a 10 percent chance that it will miss. the most likely outcome of 10 moves occuring is that 1 will miss but it is still a possible but unlikely outcome that all 10 moves will miss. its like how you can flip a coin and get 5 heads in a row, that is very unlikely because there is only a 50 percent chance of that one event occurring each time but it can still happen

ok statnerds what is the probability of a 90% accurate move hitting 5 times and missing 5 times in any order
I thought it was (9/10)^5*(1/10)^5 which is uh really small

>>33463721
Do you even read what you type?
>unlikely outcome that all 10 moves will miss
Yes it is fucking unlikely that a 90% move behaves like a 0% move on 10 tries, and the frog poster was referring to how unlikely it is for a 90% move to behave like an average 50% move on 10 tries.

What the fuck is even your point? "hurr it can mathematically happen so there's nothing wrong with it happening at the worst possible time"?

>>33461093
It's amazing how little you understand about probability.

>>33461470
The odds of this happening are 0.0015, or 1 in ~66,000. Low, but far from impossible. And with how many people play Pokémon everyday, it's bound to happen to someone eventually.

>>33467836

This is basic shit, my guy. I learned this when I was fifteen. American education has failed.

>>33467836
>>33469218
That's not how probability works.
You can calculate the probability of missing 5 times in a row, but there's no relation at all between each attack otherwise

You can't say "I missed many times therefore I have chance of hitting now", it doesn't work this way

>>33469244
There is nothing wrong with the last equation. The guy asked what the probability of missing 5 times out of 10 was, not if missing a 5th time was any less likely if he had already missed 4.

>>33463468
Should've posted Yoshiko instead.

Literally nothing wrong with the post.
Being annoyed/sad that you get a very unlikely sequence of rolls is perfectly fine.

>>33469845
others ITT were saying stuff like this >>33461093 so they just figured a frogposter would be just as dumb. stop being a dumb frogposter apologist

>>33469852
Then stop replying (You) to perfectly fine posts. And for the record the reply chain started with >>33461453 which just is some anon being mildly annoyed of getting shit rolls and doesn't claim the game is cheating or giving false probabilities.
