Unlike other moves that skip the damage formula, Guillotine does not bypass type immunities.
Guillotine will not affect a target whose current Speed is greater than the user's current Speed stat.
In Gen 2 Guillotine now deals damage equal to the target's current HP . The accuracy of Guillotine is now calculated using the following formula:

Speed no longer has an impact on Guillotine and will always fail if the user's level is lower than the target's
If the user and target are the same level, it has a 30% chance to hit, gaining 0.78% chance for each level between the user and the target.
The move reaches a 100% chance to hit with at least 90 levels between the user and the target.
In Gen 2 this move was affected by accuracy and evasion modifiers.
