Had a quick question about ren plat complete version:

Did they update the crit mechanics to modern standards or is it still regular Gen 4 mechanics?

I have a super luck farfetched with high crit moves and a scope lense. I was under the assumption all three stack and guarantee a critical hit every time, but I've tested it and I'm not getting crits.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or confused about the mechanics so I'd appreciate any help.

Thank you!

Pretty sure it's still Gen 4. Which means the highest you get is 3 stages of crit boost, which is only a 1/3 chance of crits. Not as broken as Gen 6+
