Accuracy stage boosts interfere with Zoom Lens in Pokemon Champions?

MtDown

This issue is regarding Pokemon Champions.

So I am trying to make a gimmicky Eelectross build using Zap Cannon, Coil, and holding a Zoom Lens. So, Zap Cannon is a 50 accuracy move and Coil says that it boosts Attack, Defense, and Accuracy by 1 stage. Additionally, Zoom Lens says that it boosts the Accuracy of the holder's moves by 20% when the holder acts after the target. Eelectross has fairly low speed so it will usually act after the target.

What I observe is that if I start a match and lead with Electross holding the zoom lens, then I will get Zap Cannon to successfully hit the opponent more frequently when I use it alone without attempting to increase accuracy via Coil. As an anecdote, I started a match and immediately used Zap Cannon three times in a row and they all landed. On other matches I would normally start with one or two Coils and attempt Zap Cannon and it will feel like the move will more consistently miss. Maybe it will miss two out of three times, maybe it will be about 50/50, but it feels like it is no improvement over the 50 accuracy of base Zap Cannon.

I know I can't quickly get any large number study on accuracy luck by myself. But the issue has been occuring consistently enough to drive me here and complain. I hope someone can look into how these moves and items interact and if everything is acting as it should.
