===Hax===
Refers to outcomes that are perceived as unlikely to the point of being unfair. Common targets are {{DL|Damage modification|critical hits}}, moves missing, being frozen, the success of secondary effects, and full {{status|paralysis}}. Can also refer to reliance on uncertain outcomes, such as the use of [[one-hit knockout move]]s or [[held item]]s like {{DL|In-battle effect item|Quick Claw}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}}, or {{DL|In-battle effect item|BrightPowder}}. Hax is, somewhat paradoxically, often associated with the Ability {{a|Serene Grace}}.
