In this case, it is one half to the seventh power, or 1/64. Because, if with Gyarados or Gengar I had gotten even one more move than I did, that battle would have happened very differently.
thats the odds in TOTAL not the odds that round. so every round it was still 1:2....it was never 1/64 or 1/34...it was 1/64 to get ALL hits but the last move was still 50% chance....get me?
