Effects

If it hits, Fissure is guaranteed to make the opponent faint. Its accuracy increases if the user is a higher level than the target Pokémon, but fails if the target is higher level.

Its accuracy (as a percentage) is calculated as below, ignoring all other accuracy and evasion modifiers:

30 + UserLevel - TargetLevel

This means that if the user and target Pokémon are the same level, Fissure has 30% accuracy.

Changes

  • In Generation 1, Fissure has 30% accuracy.
  • In Generation 1, it can hit Pokémon of any level, but does not affect Pokémon with a higher Speed than the user.

Z-Move effects

When a Pokémon is holding Groundium Z and uses its Z-Power, Fissure turns into Tectonic Rage and has base power 180.
