2nd Gen What are the odds?

So, I was playing my Gold version yesterday and got to Chuck. He sent out his Poliwrath. I battled it for a bit. Long story short, he managed to pull this off:

Poliwrath was confused AND paralyzed. Yet, he managed to attack with Dynamicpunch. Not only did he actually HIT with Dynamicpunch, he also got a critical hit.

Let that sink in for a moment. A 50% chance of hitting itself in confusion. A 25% chance of being fully paralyzed. A 50% chance of hitting with Dynamicpunch, and a 6.25% of getting a critical. He managed to bypass all of these.

Could someone calculate the odds of that actually happening, please?

According to my math (that consist of multiplying all these percentages) and the operation made by MSExcel, your odds were around 0.39%. Which is nice.

What else?

I came too late.

I think that sometimes (moreso in r/b/y) when your in a parafusion state and you haven't managed to hit for many turns etc , the rng gives you a break , same can be said for the other side (chuck in this case)




however this rule and the normal mechanics don't apply in the battle tower , the freeze chance is lowered for example so in say ten uses of my articunos ice beam its more then likely not going to get any freezes , and the same for the npc too , I think the rng is very fair in gen2 games regarding all this normally *goes to turn on stadium2 at the thought * lol
