EDIT: How about aromatherapy because i mean, really, how much damage is that going to do? Also you could try icy wind if you pick ice beam because of the 100% chance of speed being lowered... man! i swear, when i ramble things start to actually make sense huh?

Seismic Toss, IMO. It's reliable power - and with Flamethrower it allows you to hit everything.
Why does the analysis for Arceus presents EV spreads like 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe if Arceus is capped at 100?
Well because of that reason, you can't use Arceus in the ladder, but for people who want to use it the EV spreads are available.
Once it is used, it disappears. You cannot enter another battle and have it respawn in-game if that's what you're asking
Edit your OP, and it will be at the top of the edit
Modest 252 SpA Choice Specs Dialga/Palkia's Draco Meteor, and very rarely Timid 252 SpA
Timid 252 SpA Soul Dew Latios' +1 Draco Meteor, or +2 Dragon Pulse
Jolly 252 Atk Garchomp's +2 Outrage
Adamant 252 Atk Rayquaza's +1 Outrage, and very rarely Jolly 252 Atk
Hi, everybody. I'm really new here (I just discovered this site yesterday and joined the forums today), so let's say I wanted to ask this question below:
I'm really new here and a little overwhelmed; where do I start?
I was going to ask that question here, but I'm not entirely sure if it's appropriate in a short-question-short-answer forum. Where would I want to post that question?
Edit: Thanks, Slipperjeans.
Oh, and for the record, everyone is aware I was being serious, right?
Edit EDIT: You too, Cosmic Explorer.
Oh, and I forgot to mention: I'm not actually that new to competitive battling; it's just that I've been using Serebii as a source until now.

Do you mean you are new to competitive battling?
If so, read this article.

Then you can start brainstorming a team. Looking at the Rate My Team board you can get ideas, and also in the Strategy Pokédex in the Smogon main site.
Then you should download a battle simulator. I recommend Pokemon Online, as it is very user-friendly.
There you can build your team and battle other players.
In the meantime, read other Articles in Smogon to get used to other strategies and stuff.
With time you'll get better. You should always look into tweaking your team and fixing your weaknesses.
Have fun!

I would also suggest looking at the Smog (Smogon's web-zine) to learn up on competitive pokemon battling. Also, although Pokemon Online is known for being user friendly, Shoddy Battle is more widely used than it and allows you to battle the majority of Smogon players, since most of Smogon doesn't use pokemon online. Don't let that dissuade you from using it, just know that battling in pokemon online may be different than how you hear people describe it on Smogon.

Yes. Auto-Weather effects like Drizzle activate before the end of the turn.
No it won't. All turn movements are calculated at the beginning of the turn, which means that Luvdisc will be slower. That's why when you use Tailwind in the middle of the turn your Pokemon are still slower.
Worth nothing Shoddy Battle was made with Java and is very very laggy, sometimes unresponsive and resource intensive due to it.
hey guys I am trying to see if it's possible to have the following giratina (from plat)?
shiny
jolly
31/31/31/29/31/31?
can the ev for spA be 30 or 31? no right?
this guy who claims to have all three of the ev spreads on three different jolly shiny giratina said they are legit but I don't think you can have 30 or 31 for spA...?
i thought the highest you can get was all 31/31/31/29/31/31
let me know guys since I think this guy is lying -_-;

Hex flawless (31/31/31/31/31/31) can ONLY happen for a caught Pokemon if Modest, Timid, Calm or Docile (correct this one?). If it's hex flawless and ISN'T one of those natures, it's hacked.
