Subject: Re: Pinch chance
There are two things that play into how successful you are with a pinch, and one of them is how confident you are in your form. That is the biggest factor, so my guess is that you recently got this form.

He's confident in the form. Isn't that enough to make it more than 0% chance :)

Subject: Looks like a bad RNG to me
I added some debugging and verified it once again...if you were at 100% in the form you've got about a 75% chance to hit a pinch.
