If you’re really bad like me, you can also enable retries. Or, if you don’t have retries on and you really don’t wanna lose the run, close tab or reset tab and you will be at the start of the battle.

I feel like there is something wrong in PokeRogues calculations when it comes to hit accuracy. I've been hit with Horn Drill 3 times in a row, and there are times when 95% move will miss 4 times in a row. I know it's unlikely this happens, but that it can happen... but that unlikely accuracy shenanigans happens several times over multiple runs tells me the accuracy math is somewhat flawed. Love the game none the less.
