I don't think so. What do you think?

If you combine it with moves like lock on, it can be. It's high power and guaranteed paralysis can be very useful. Perhaps in a double battle, have machamp with no guard as its ability, and use it knowing it will hit, and combine it with machamp's dynamic punch for massive damage to a paralyzed/confused foe.

Only with Lock-On as well. That high damage and 100% paralysis is hard to pass up. However, you can easily evade Lock-On powered Zap Cannon with Protect. Just use the much better Thunder Wave.
