What is the probability of a multi-hit move (for example, {{m|Bullet Seed}}) hitting 5 times when used by a Pokémon holding Loaded Dice? I could just as easily see it being 50% (since there's normally an equal probability of Bullet Seed hitting 4 or 5 times) or being 15% (since that's the normal probability the move will hit 5 times). The former would more likely happen if it limits the possible number of hits to 4 or 5 and then rolls, whereas the latter would more likely happen if it rolled as normal, and then if the move rolled to hit 2 or 3 times it instead hits 4 times.
