It doesn't work like that in this case; you're looking at it as if there are only two possibilities; there are three (attacks, does not attack due to attraction, attacks self). The probability is multiplicative. Therefore:Now, I have a question myself. It's a bit of a probability math I am confused about. I'll admit, I'm not that good when it comes down to math, so I might assume the wrong thing. When a pokemon is infatuated, it has a 50 % chance of not attacking. When being confused, it also has a 50 % chance of not attacking. I have learned that when chances are seperate of one another, they can be added up with each other (P(X)+P(Y)= P(X OR Y). Would this mean that when a pokemon is infatuated and confused, it has a 100 percent chance of not attacking?
(P(X)*P(Y)) is how you look at it; the probability that you will be confused this turn times the probability that you will be infatuated this turn.
You've got a 25% chance of attacking under these conditions and a 75% chance of being confused or infatuated (which one is more likely is entirely dependent on which one the game processes first, which I don't know).
I probably derped out and did something backwards. I'm actually not super good at statistics.
