Yes, thank you. I saw 100% on the page, but I wasn't sure if that was
the stat itself or 100% of the stat. So how is Evasion vs. Accuracy
resolved? Is a random number generated between zero and the Evasion
stat, and the move hits if the number is the Accuracy stat or lower?

Yes, that's exactly it. A random number is generated between 1 and 255. In
RBY, only 1 would miss, and the others would all hit - hence the odds of
most moves hitting being 99.6% By now, all normal-accuracy moves are 100%
accurate unless there's an evasion/accuracy move in effect.

I'm not sure if it's still a number from 1 to 255, but basically, the
percentages are rounded to the nearest figure. Like, Blizzard claims to be
70% accurate, but it's probably more like 180 out of 255.

When it comes to the effect of modern things, like evasion moves,
weather-based accuracy and so on, you probably know more than I do, since
you've read that guide. But I hope that this info helps you out a bit.
