[ORAS] True rage

[bradar485]

When your opponent is down to just their garchomp in a double battle while straddling for sand storm damage and they land protect 3 turns in a row!

What's that like... 25% chance turn 2 and 12.5% at turn 3?

You guys know what I mean?

Actually its been proven by Smogon and Nugget Bridge that the chance of Protect is actually 30% and not 50% in this generation. There was like an article or post I've read from here which shows the game's coding for this.

Yes, he had sand storm up, and you died to enviormental damage while he was protecting to save his life.

"Proven" 30%, it's 33.3% if you read it. 30*3 = 90, so 33.3% would be more accurate.
And if you think i used 50% then you need to redo the math, If turn 2 is 25% that means 1/4.

They beat the odds and lusty anyways. That's the dumbest part...

Ok I'm cheered up now by your overly literal answer to my metaphorical question

[Black117]

Yeah I incorrectly typed that as "30%" instead of "1/3". Just wanted to post something informative.

Edit: Not trying to belittle anyone here since we all had our fair share of bad RNG rolls like what bradar485's experience. Though I don't share sentiment for those who rely on RNG to win games (at least in singles).
