    Explaination: That is a Pokemon named Zubat, Using an attack called Supersonic which has a 55% chance of confusing the defending Pokemon.

        100% chance if you’re fighting one, 0% chance if they’re your pokemon

          Which they split the diff and call 55% in the strat guide to give you misguided hope. 😔

      And what are the glowing rings for? Without them, chance for evade would decrease drastically.

      In Pokemon, the move supersonic confuses your opponent. However, it only has a 55% chance of hitting successfully. This Zubat is using supersonic on you. Are you unscathed?!

        I was starting to think this was one of those memes that don’t make sense and the joke is that it doesn’t make sense.

        Thanks for the explanation.

      Are you being serious or making a joke?

      In case you’re being serious, that is the pokémon Zubat, and it is using the move Confusion, which has a chance of afflicting the opponent pokémon with a Confused status effect.

    Well I looked at the meme, and my first thought was “I’m confused” because I didn’t get it. So I guess I’m one of the people that were confused.

    I think it’s closer to 75% (75.25% precisely). 55% because of the attack and 55% trying to figure out what the picture is. Stacking those stats, of those who weren’t confused at first, those 45% remaining were subjected to the effect of the attack. Only 25% remained unaffected.

      That depends on whether or not people are Pokemon?

        Mixed Martial Arts tournaments are basically Pokémon tournaments?
