Article: "Hax" and luck in Pokémon Battling

A few issues: A hacked in Lv. 1 rayquaza w/ dragon ascent won't OHKO a lv. 100 6IV ledyba.
2: It is super rare, but a pokemon can freeze/unfreeze in the same turn.

Otherwise, nice article!
 
Very nice article! I have extremely bad luck with hax, when there's a move that's like "has 20% chance of confusing the opponent", I feel like it might as well be a 99% chance, because I always get the stat effects :(
 
That was a really good read. Thank you for writing this.
You are welcome! I had a ton of fun writing it!

1: Look, it's a metaphor... I think.
2: I tried not to imply that that was impossible, sorry if I did

This is some well-constructed information that definitely got me reading it. Looking forward to more Daily contributions from you!
A fantastic read, I look forward to reading more from you!
Thanks! I already did a couple of competitive Pokemon analyses that no one seemed to notice (tear), and I'm working on something TCG related for the Eevee collaboration and the next one like it. I'm also thinking of writing a report on MA Regionals (depending on how awful I do) and/or the PCL is Archy lets me. The next major piece I have planned is a series on the history of the competitive TCG, so look forward to that!

I really liked this. Jirachi is broken, I love that cutie. 8]
