does sandstorm alter castform to rock type, if so would it gain 50% sp def boost or merely just rock type change, that gives me several ideas about castform's viablity
No. There was a message that they were removed... I used Toxic Spikes after that another 2 times and they didn't failed....
@AzureWraith: Castform didn't change to Rock in Adv, iirc, but that might has changed....
1v1 battle:
Mukkuhawk used Double Team!
Mukkuhawk's evasion rose!
Ponyta used Tail Whip!
Mukkuhawk avoided the attack!
The theory that it says "[Pokemon] avoided the attack!" in 1v1 if the move hits both opponents in 2v2 seems possible, but it's still kind of weird.

I heard something like this when Toxic Spikes were first experimented with, but no further conclusive testing was done. I think it's time for a little more testing.
ya, i remember testing this and such a situation happened. cromat also tested this: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=275331&postcount=77
im assuming poison pokemon absorb poison spikes
im assuming poison pokemon absorb poison spikes
They get absorbed by switching in a Poison Type, not sure about Gengar or Crobat, as they are Levitators... Maybe only those Poisons that normally would get poisoned are able to absorb Toxic Spikes... Btw, Steelix didn't blew away Toxic Spikes, and in a Double Battle, both opponents fields are covered at once.....
CB Staraptor uses U-Turn
Sent out CB Metagross.
Metagross does not have U-Turn. It can use any attack.

Gliscor has U-Turn. It is stuck on U-Turn.

Driftblim avoided Rock Slide!
I'd say that confirms it. Attacks that hit both opponents in 2v2 will have a "Pokemon avoided the attack!" message in 1v1 rather than the normal "The attack missed!" message.
Also, WTF at the U-Turn thing. It shouldn't come up much, but it's weird.

I just found that Wake-Up Slap and Submission both work on pokemon that are Flying (in the middle of using Fly).
No Guard bypasses the Fly/Dig/Bounce/Shadow Force attack evasion thing.

I assume you mean on Pokemon not named Machamp, correct? I only ask because I think Poliwrath is the only other guy with Submission.
Could someone make a list of all the descriptions and the IV they are associated with?
I transferred Heracross, Salamence, and Tyranitar from my Emerald version and they all have flawless attack. And they all "like to thrash about".
Could someone test the Enigma, Custap, Jaboca, and Rowap berries?
What I assume to be their English in-game text can be found at the bottom of this page: http://www.serebii.net/berrydex-dp/
I don't know if they've already been tested, but they seem very interesting...
Edit: Did this post quintuple itself?

Just tested Aqua Ring:
Lumineon (103 HP) used Aqua Ring!
Bidoof used Tackle!
Aqua Ring restored Lumineon's HP! *6 HP is healed*
It seems to be 1/16, and I also tried to wait out the Aqua Ring, but it did not wear off, or at least it does not with the next 20 turns assuming that you did not switch.

A little thing I noticed. Serebii states that Miracle eye "Removes dark type's psychic immunity and resets foe's evasiveness". But ingame it says ghost instead of dark.
I assumed that Serebii made a typo, yet it seems strange that this move, learned by psychic types, affects ghost instead of darks.
Edit: Aqua Ring seems to last untill switch. I had a long stall war vs Cynthia's Milotic when it used Aqua Ring and all I had was a Empoleon with Drill Peck, and it never wore out.
