Explain something to me...

Can anyone tell me WHY Hypnosis seems to have only a 30% success rate, and why it ALWAYS seems to miss the first three times, on certain Pokemon? It's making some boss battles impossibly difficult. More specifically, in the battle against Taka and ZEL on the 3rd machine.

EDIT: If it helps, I'm still using the original Episode VIII update.

You're just unlucky at the moment; if you were to use a larger sample, the hit/miss rates would look more like they should

Then why is it so damn consistent? It ALWAYS misses the first three times on the freaking Lileep, and then it only works every other time, assuming Noctowl isn't KOed.

Well, in any case, anyone got any advice for me on that particular boss double battle? I've got all my pokemon at lv range 25-27, and currently consisting of Ariados, Growlithe, Magby, Meowth, Noctowl, and Mawile.

In my experience (as a player, not a developer), I've found it easiest to just focus the hell out of ZEL's pokemon, completely ignoring Lileep. As it is, it's virtually harmless aside from Confuse Ray, so I just let it be worthless and treat it like a 2v1 until the real threats of the Eeveelutions are deleted.

Lileep is baby compared to the rest of entire enemy team. I used a similar strategy in one of my league battles on the server; Hardy fights in triples, and typically has Solrock Tyranitar and Lunatone as his opening, to set up Trick Room for sure because it's impossible to kill both on the first turn without a multi-hit move as they're both sashed.

So the best course of action is to leave the Lunatone and Solrock as dead weight and focus all of your offense on the actual threats- this is made easier by the fact he always had it in the middle so you could target it with all three of your active Pokemon c:

Just an example, but does it make sense?
