Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Battle Stadium may have a major issue tied to determining whether or not a move hits. Multiple Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players are reporting an issue with the game’s Battle Stadium mode, which allows players to participate in online battles with each other. The issue seems to be tied to the RNG (Random Number Generator) seed that determines whether or not a move actually hits or not. While the game is supposed to generate a new seed at the start of every battle, it appears that the Battle Stadium is using the same RNG seed every time, which means that certain moves will always hit (or always not hit) depending on when they are used in battle. For instance, one Reddit thread notes that Frost Breath (a move with 90% accuracy) missed the first time it was used in battle during 14 consecutive battles, while the One Hit KO move Sheer Cold (a move with 30% accuracy) is always hitting the first time.
