so no one else thinks getting hurricane over oblivion wing is an issue?
hurricane is just so obviously inferior, i dont care about 30% confusion, i need the reliability of 100% acc and i really think its appreciates the recovery a hell of a lot more in a 1v1 then it cares about dealing like 40% instead of 35% damage on neutral hits (if it hits)
here is a more direct comparision
value of hurricane:
110*.7 (for 70% accuracy) = 77 damage per turn accounting for acc
confusion chance .7*.3 = 21% chance per turn accounting for acc then 33% chance to proc per turn
80*100 (80) = 80 damage per turn
75% heal damage dealt (100% acc) =
worst cases
(6.2 - 7.2% recovered) on 217 hp lvl 77 stakataka for 13.45400 min recovery
(5.5 - 6.6 % recovered) on 262 hp lvl 86 probopass for 14.41 min recovery
best cases
(49.3 - 59% recovered) on 265 hp lvl 86 sunflora for 130.64500 min recovery
(71.5% recovery) on 287 hp lvl 77 buzzwole for 205.20500 recovery (2/3rds yveltals hp)
towards the lower end it might be negligible but neutral hits are already decent recovery
so the only ways hurricane beats oblivion wing are through rain which, as mentioned previously, isn't likely or reliable when you do have pokemon that can generate rain, or through massive confusion rng, not only does hurricane need to hit, then confusion needs to stick, then it needs another check to see if it even does anything, granted if it happens the free turn isn't negligible, but its so unreliable it might as well not exist, as well confusion is easily dealt with by swapping.
