Refers to outcomes that are perceived as unlikely to the point of being unfair. Common targets are [[critical hit]]s, moves missing, flinching, being {{status|freeze|frozen}}, the success of [[additional effect]]s, 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 [[Quick Claw]], [[Focus Band]], or [[Bright Powder]]. Hax is often associated with the moves {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Minimize}}, and {{m|Swagger}}, as well as the Abilities {{a|Moody}} and {{a|Serene Grace}}.

Refers to a Pokémon with average or above average stats in every category, such as {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Kommo-o}}, and {{p|Charizard}}.

Refers to a non-fully [[evolution|evolved]] Pokémon set that are compatible to the [[held item]] [[Eviolite]], which raises the holder's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} by 50%. Commonly used by {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Magneton}}, {{p|Rhydon}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Misdreavus}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Dusclops}}, and {{p|Doublade}}.

Refers to a Black {{p|Kyurem}} that includes both [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s such as {{m|Fusion Bolt}}, {{m|Earth Power}}, and {{m|Ice Beam}}, backed by comparatively high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}, which serves as a [[#Mixed|mixed]] [[#Wallbreaker|wallbreaker]]. Due to its very limited physical [[move]]pool, Black Kyurem was placed in [[Smogon]]'s OU [[tier]] despite being a [[Legendary Pokémon]] with above 670 [[base stat]]s total.
