Accuracy lowering moves

[thenry009]

Hey, i was just wondering what moves like sand-attack & mudslap do?

I've checked some sites and they say it decrease opponent accuracy by 1 level temporarily.
What does 1 level mean?
How much % is that?

think of it like this:

Rapidash has 100% accuracy then Swampert uses mud slap and lowers accuracy 1 level.

Rapidash now has 90% accuracy.

If Rapidash was then going to use fire blast, it would be 70% accuracy, which is normally 80% but 10% was taken away from it's accuracy.

Are u sure about this? Whenever i get mud-slapped and i use a move w 100% accuracy it seems like it hits much less often than 90%.

Acctually,
There are 13 stages. (-6)Through to 6 and you start at 0

so it decreases by 33 percent

Thanks!
I've been looking forever for this.
BTW, i decided to search google w the words pokemon, stages, mutliplier, percentage and i found the site u got that grid from.
That is actually the grid for attack, D, spec A, spec D, & speed

The grid for accuracy & evasion works the same but has a diff multiplier.
I would post the link but it says i need 15 posts or more
If ur wondering just google the words i used & it is the first search result.
