Guillotine (Japanese: ハサミギロチン Scissors Guillotine) is a Template:Type2 one-hit knockout move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Guillotine has 30% accuracy and inflicts damage equal to the target's current HP. Guillotine will break a Substitute on contact, and can be countered for infinite damage on the turn it breaks a Substitute.

Guillotine will not affect an opponent whose current Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.

Generation II and on

Unlike in Generation I, Guillotine can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level. The accuracy of Guillotine depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula: Accuracy = ((level of user - level of target) + 30)%. Guillotine ignores all changes to accuracy and evasion stats.
