If a Morelull uses Flash on a Elgyem with Hidden Power (100% accuracy), knowing that Flash lowers the opponent's accuracy by 1, what accuracy would Hidden Power then have?

Astronautical's answer is incorrect. Accuracy and Evasion are not modified the same way as the other five stats. These are the multipliers.
Stage Multiplier
+6 9/3
+5 8/3
+4 7/3
+3 6/3
+2 5/3
+1 4/3
0 3/3
-1 3/4
-2 3/5
-3 3/6
-4 3/7
-5 3/8
-6 3/9

Assuming no other modifiers to accuracy or evasion, hidden power's 100% accuracy is lowered to stage -1, which multiplies its accuracy by 3/4. The resulting accuracy is 75%.

Is it my fault I took "stats" to include accuracy and evasion? It's a simple mistake to make.
Thank you sumwun (and Astronautical for answering too)! I knew something was fishy about those stat multipliers!
