No problem :)

Answer 2

Nope. The have nothing in common. These will, however:

• Using a move with a high critical-hit ratio
• Holding a Scope Lens
• Holding a Razor Claw
• Holding a Stick (if the Pokémon is Farfetch'd)
• Holding a Lucky Punch (if the Pokémon is Chansey)
• Having Super Luck as its Ability
• Being under the effect of Focus Energy
• Consuming a Lansat Berry (or being passed its effect)
• Using Dire Hit on it
• Using Dire Hit 2 on it (Wonder Launcher only)
• Using Dire Hit 3 on it (Wonder Launcher only)
