Sharply Increased Critical Hit Ratio

Is there any reason the description for this move states that it has a "sharply increased critical hit ratio" while for every other move that has a high critical hit ratio it just states on their respective pages that they have "an increased critical hit ratio". Does the "sharply" mean a +2 stage critical hit chance for this move? (I think that's a 50% chance of a critical hit if I'm not mistaken) Also, if this is the only move that "sharply" raises the critical hit ratio, why is it listed with all the other moves that only raise the critical hit ratio by one stage?--Rithvikkiran (talk) 20:51, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

I added an appropriate title as you omitted one.

As for your question, I was the one examing and inputting the data when the page was created. It turns out that, whereas most Z-Moves (and even regular moves) have a regular critical hit ratio of 1, this particular Z-Move has a rate of 2, which is extremely rare among the available moves. Therefore, "sharply increased" was tje best term we could come up with until we can come up with more accurate data due to the move not being legally usable and available yet (to non-hackers).

Is 2 the same rate as the other moves with a high critical-hit ratio? That's what it sounds like you're saying, and if so, simply saying "increased" should suffice, like on every other one of those pages. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 22:16, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

We're not sure what effect it has on Z-Moves yet. I think we inspected the other moves and decided to go with this wording. I can bring it up, however, and see what others think. CycloneGU (talk) 23:40, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
