I don't care about the official definition, which anyway if you cared to read on in it, "There are some things, like flinching, which you would normally consider to be hax but aren't always so...Even though they might fit the standard definition of hax, they happen often enough for you to expect to see them in real situations somewhat commonly.There's no official or best guideline, but in my opinion, if some form of "hax" has a 30% chance or higher of happening, you should keep it in the back of your mind because it's not a negligible occurrence." Paralysis is set at 25% of the time, pretty close to 30% so that definitely has a factor. In your far-off world where things don't get paralyzed ever, sure paralysis wouldn't matter, but in actuality it does happen. I don't think you understand that each team gets 6 pokemon. Who cares if Chansey can't KO Aegi? Who is trying to do that? If Aegi is paralyzed it's easier for other pokemon on the team of 6 to take care of it. Since by the definition and interpreting paralysis as not hax, mons without factoring in hax that can't normally beat Aegi are Shadowball Gardevoir, Flamethrower Clefable, Mega Altaria with eq, Sableye when it burns Aegi because the burn would not be considered hax. That's just a few. I think you need to learn what hax is. Oh yeah, and t-wave on Chansey, Slowbro, and Jirachi isn't rare or weird.ITP: Aegi can't check stuff becuase it can get haxed or predicted with an extremely rare set.
My god, Aegi is a darned check, no one said it's switching into every move a poke can pack. Using your logic, Mew has no checks cause it can run basically any relevant move. A check needs to switch into one darned move, the more moves, the better the check. It can switch into every move Chansey can ever run bar T-Wave, of course it's a fucking check. I don't care if the rare weird sets screw my check, if it kills Chansey it's done it's job. Sacred Sword Aegi will always kill Chansey before it is killed.
If the best you can do it T-Wave a slow poke, you are countered, as Aegi is immune to every damaging move/status Chansey will ever use out of low ladder (and they do sod all SE, hence why no one uses them, let alone are they harming Aegi). Name a mon who doesn't normally beat Aegi who wins if it's para'd, without factoring in hax, cause I can't think of one.
I think you need to learn what a check is.
Edit: Just watch this battle I found and you tell me paralysis doesn't happen. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oususpecttest-226200983
Also here is a battle where Chansey beats a burned Aegislash. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oususpecttest-226187748
