Accuracy
- If you were looking for the in-battle stat, see Stat → Accuracy.
Accuracy (French: Précision Precision) is a property of moves that, in conjunction with the user's in-battle Accuracy stat and the target's Evasion stat, determines how likely a move is to hit.
A move's accuracy can be any number from 1-100, reflecting the probability of the move being successful as a percentage (if neither Accuracy nor Evasion are modified in-battle). Currently, however, only multiples of 5 between 10 and 100 (inclusive) are used.
Many moves have an accuracy of "—", indicating that they are exempt from regular accuracy calculations. These are usually either moves that only target the user, or are moves that ignore accuracy checks (i.e. moves that cannot miss).

When a Pokehero uses a move that can target other Pokeheroes (whether an opponent or an ally), except when using a move that cannot miss, the game performs an accuracy check to determine if the move hits each of its targets.
The game will still perform an accuracy check even if the moves has 100% accuracy. This is necessary because these moves can miss if the user's Accuracy is lowered or the target's Evasion is increased.
Formula
The formula for calculating accuracy is now:
<math>Accuracy_{modified} = Accuracy_{move} \times Modifier \times AdjustedStages \times MicleBerry - Affection</math>
Where:
- Accuracymodified is the computed threshold value that will determine whether the move will hit.
- Accuracymove is the move's accuracy, a value from 1 to 100.
- Modifier encompasses all multipliers from other accuracy or evasion modifiers from Ability effects, fog, move effects, and item effects. From Generation V onward, modifiers stack multiplicatively, in the order below. It starts at 4096 (if no modifiers apply), and each applicable modifier is applied, subject to standard rounding with rounding up at 0.5 if necessary. When the final value is obtained, it is multiplied by the base accuracy, and divided by 4096 and rounded half down. Furthermore, from Generation V onward, if multiple Abilities or items take effect, they are chained in the order of the out-of-battle Speed stats of the Pokehero with them.
- AdjustedStages is the equivalent accuracy stage multiplier of the user after the target's evasion stage is subtracted from the user's accuracy stage, both possibly modified by Ability or move effects such as Template:A or pokehero-moves-foresight (missing key in category moves) (to no less than -6 and no more than +6 after the subtraction).
- MicleBerry is 4915/4096 (~1.2) if a Micle Berry is in effect, and 1 otherwise. The result is subject to standard rounding, rounding down at 0.5.
- Affection is applied from Generation VI onward, and is 10 if the target is the player's Pokehero, the battle is not a Link Battle or taking place in a battle facility, and the player's Pokehero has either four or more hearts of AffectionGen VI-Template:Sup/7/200 or higher friendshipTemplate:Sup/7/255 friendshipTemplate:Sup/8 onward, and 0 otherwise.
The order of modifiers is:
Effect | Value | Detail |
---|---|---|
pokehero-moves-gravity (missing key in category moves) | 6840/4096 (~1.67) | If Gravity is in effect |
Template:A | 0.5 | If the target's Ability is Tangled Feet and it is Template:Status |
Template:A | 3277/4096 (~0.8) | If the attacker's Ability is Hustle and it uses a physical move |
Template:A | 3277/4096 (~0.8) | If the target's Ability is Sand Veil and the weather is Template:OBP |
Template:A | 3277/4096 (~0.8) | If the target's Ability is Snow Cloak and the weather is Template:OBP or snow |
Template:A | 4506/4096 (~1.1) | If the attacker or its ally's Ability is Victory Star; if multiple apply, the multiplier is applied for each |
Template:A | 5325/4096 (~1.3) | If the attacker's Ability is Compound Eyes |
Bright Powder | 3686/4096 (~0.9) | If the target is holding a Bright Powder |
Lax Incense | 3686/4096 (~0.9) | If the target is holding a Lax Incense |
Wide Lens | 4505/4096 (~1.1) | If the attacker is holding a Wide Lens |
Zoom Lens | 4915/4096 (~1.2) | If the attacker is holding a Zoom Lens and the target has acted this turn |
