Targets a single adjacent Pokemon.

Effects

If it hits, Fissure is guaranteed to make the opponent faint. It is more likely to hit Pokemon that are of a lower level than the user.

Its accuracy (as a percentage) is calculated as below, ignoring all other accuracy and evasion modifiers:
UserLevel - TargetLevel + 30
This means that Fissure will fail against a target Pokemon at least 30 levels above the user.

Changes

In Generation 1, Fissure has 30% accuracy and can hit Pokemon of any level, but does not affect Pokemon faster than the user.

Machine
