Effect Summary

Causes a one-hit KO.

Detailed Effect

If Guillotine hits, it causes the target to faint.
Ignores accuracy stat img and evasion stat img modifiers.
  • In Gen 1 this move always deals exactly 65535 (the largest 16-bit number) HP stat img damage if it hits. Its accuracy is 30%. Guillotine will break a Substitute if it hits.
    Unlike other moves that skip the damage formula, Guillotine does not bypass type immunities.
    Guillotine will not affect a target whose current Speed stat img is greater than the user's current Speed stat img stat.
  • In Gen 2 Guillotine now deals damage equal to the target's current HP stat img . The accuracy of Guillotine is now calculated using the following formula:

    Speed stat img 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 stat img and evasion stat img modifiers.
  • From Generation 3 onwards this move's accuracy stat img is calculated with the following formula:

    If the user and target are the same level, it has a 30% chance to hit, gaining 1% chance for each level between the user and the target.
    The move reaches a 100% chance to hit with at least 70 levels between the user and the target.
    If the user is a lower level than the target, the move always fail.
    This is no longer affected by accuracy stat img and evasion stat img modifiers.
