Fissure (move)

Fissure (Japanese: じわれ Fissure) is a one-hit knockout move introduced in Generation I. It was TM27 in Generation I. In Generation II, it was the signature move of and .
==Effect==
===Generation I===
Fissure always inflicts exactly 65535 HP damage if it hits. Its accuracy is 30%. Fissure will break a if it hits.
Unlike other moves that skip the damage formula, Fissure does not bypass type immunities.
Fissure will not affect a target whose current stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.
===Generation II===
Fissure now inflicts damage equal to the target's current HP. The accuracy of Fissure is now calculated using the following formula:
Accuracy = \left( \frac{(Level_{user}-Level_{target}) \times 2 + 76}{256}\right) \times 100\%
If the user is a lower level than the target, the move always fails (Speed no longer has any impact on the success of Fissure). If the user is 90 levels or more higher than the target, Fissure's accuracy is 100% (even though the formula would produce values over 100% for a difference of 91 or more). 
This formula means that the accuracy starts at approximately 30% (\tfrac{76}{256}) when the Pokémon have the same level, and grows by approximately 0.78% (\tfrac{2}{256}) for every level higher than the target that the user is. This accuracy is affected by and stats.
Fissure can also now affect Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of .
In the Generation II core series games only, Fissure can be countered by for maximum damage if it misses. In Pokémon Stadium 2, Fissure cannot be countered by Counter.
===Generation III onwards===
Despite having an accuracy of 30% listed, Fissure's chance of hitting a Pokémon is instead calculated using the following formula:
HitChance = (Level_{user}-Level_{target} + 30)\%
This formula means that the accuracy starts at 30% when the Pokémon have the same level, and is 1% more likely to hit for every level the user is higher than the target. If the user is at least 70 levels higher than the target, Fissure will always hit. If the user is a lower level than the target, the move always fails, rather than decreasing the accuracy into lower ranges like 29% and below.
This chance of hitting is not an accuracy: it is not affected by and stats, nor is it affected by other accuracy modifiers such as , Wide Lens, and . Additionally, Fissure cannot hit a semi-invulnerable Pokémon (except a Pokémon using Dig). However, effects that guarantee moves to hit (such as and ) still affect Fissure.
Fissure can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if was used in the previous turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination and will give an extra three appeal points if any of the moves , and was used in the prior turn.
When used in a Max Raid Battle against a Dynamax Pokémon while it is under the effect of a mysterious barrier, Fissure will deplete two bars of the barrier's strength. Otherwise, Fissure will always fail against Dynamax Pokémon. Tera Raid bosses are unaffected by Fissure.

Prior to Gates to Infinity, Fissure knocks out the target by deaing "calamitous damage" (Japanese: とてつもない タメージ tremendous damage) which is internally treated as 9999 damage. Unlike in the core series games, it cannot hit a Pokémon in middle of . Additionally, it will fail against Pokémon and Pokémon with the Ability .
