Critical Sting (Japanese: 急所時妨害確率上昇 Increase Chance of Interference During Critical Hit) is a family of skills in Pokémon Masters EX.

Effect

When the user lands a critical hit, it increases the chance of inflicting the flinching, confused, or trapped condition if the move has a secondary effect of causing these conditions. The skill can range from Critical Sting 1 to Critical Sting 9, with higher numbered skills resulting in a greater increase in the chance of inflicting these conditions. Currently, only Critical Sting 1 is available on scoutable sync pairs. The chance is calculated according to the below formula.

$O v e r a l l C h a n c e = M o v e B a s e C h a n c e \times (1 + (S k i l l R a n k \times N u m b e r O f P a s s i v e s))$
