Yes, it would. So heatran would raise his own Fire type attacks by a stage by doing that.If a Pokemon like Heatran with the ability Flash Fire were to use the move Will-o-Wisp, and the opposing Pokemon were to use Magic Coat or have the ability Magic Bounce to rebound the attack, would the Will-o-Wisp count as a Fire move to boost up Flash Fire?

The move: Hidden Power [Ground] will be ineffective against all pokemon with the ability: Levitate under normal circumstances. The opponent will have to use the move: Roost, or the user would have to have the ability: Mold Breaker etc for it to have any effect.If I used HP Ground on a levitating Pokémon, would it still land? I know Earth Power, and Earthquake would not.
Just to clarify, there's no difference between HP Ground and Earthquake / Earth Power in this regard; they are all Ground moves, and thus, like all Ground moves, won't affect the target unless the user has Mold Breaker / Teravolt / Turboblaze (the last one is not applicable in OU, but let's be complete). Also, TGMD is incorrect since a Roosting poke with Levitate is still immune to Ground attacks; Roost only removes the Flying typing (if the poke is a Flying type), but does nothing to remove the immunity Levitate provides. Yeah, it's counterintuitive, but I bet there are much worse things...If I used HP Ground on a levitating Pokémon, would it still land? I know Earth Power, and Earthquake would not.

Ummm... I doubt it's Sleep Clause since you technically ARE forced into using Spore with Breloom. Also... I've never seen anybody come back from down 6-1 with a scarf Darkrai locked into Dark Void... so don't worry about it. :)To add to that question, what happens you have a last Pokemon Scarf Breloom with Spore as its only move? It wouldn't affect anything competitively in OU, so maybe a better example would be for Ubers with Darkrai and its Bad Dreams ability.
EDIT: As in, would it fall under Sleep Clause?
Based on my own personal experience, Rock Slide is the way to go on Choice Scarf Terrakion sets. It tends to be most talented when it comes to revenge killing boosting threats such as Volcarona, Salamence and Dragonite. Anyone who has used Stone Edge extensively in the past will know that it always seems to miss in the worst possible situations. Whilst Rock Slide does not have perfect accuracy either, it is much more reliable than Stone Edge, and is strong enough most of the time to get the job done. Earthquake allows Terrakion to hit Toxicroak hard and do a little more to Jirachi/Tentacruel, but I find that this isn't necessary as Scarf Terrakion isn't really designed to punch holes through the opponent's team like the CB / SD sets do.In lets say a scarf terrakion.
would running
close combat/ x-scissor/ stone edge/ earthquake
be better than the standard
CC/ x-scissor/ SE/ rock slide or sacred sword?
Let's say a Scarf Loom get trapped by Wobbuffet.To add to that question, what happens you have a last Pokemon Scarf Breloom with Spore as its only move? It wouldn't affect anything competitively in OU, so maybe a better example would be for Ubers with Darkrai and its Bad Dreams ability.

He spores the Wobb on the switch.
Then Wobbuffet switch out, as Breloom keep using Spore (he has no other choice).
Will the switch in be affected by Spore, does it break the Sleep cause ?
Tyvm :)Bug bite on a smash passing team if Scizor is the intended SmashPass recipient though I would not recommend using him as such. U-turn if he is not the intended recipient

Ok cool thx :x I wouldn't like to use a Haxorous cos its kinda OP so I just want to give myself a challenge :x So if my Scizor is the receiver of the smash pass , what Evs would I split it into ? Do I use the Smogon Choice scarf or choice band EV set ?If you're running ridiculous Choice QuickPass, don't use Scizor as a recipient. Bug Bite powerful and everything but you have to be sure to get rid of Heatran and Skarmory to actually pull off a sweep since you'll be locked into Bug Bite; why not just use a Dragon-type like Haxorus to give you better neutral coverage? CB Haxorus literally only needs Outrage and Earthquake to outspeed and rape the metagame. Here's calcs at +2. Too lazy to format prettier:
Skarmory (OU Physically Defensive) Outrage 60.77 - 71.55% Earthquake 0 - 0%
Forretress (OU Physically Defensive) Earthquake 66.1 - 77.96% Outrage 59.32 - 70.05%
Ferrothorn (OU Standard) Earthquake 75 - 88.35% Outrage 67.32 - 79.26%
Skarmory (OU Specially Defensive) Outrage 79.04 - 93.11% Earthquake 0 - 0%
Forretress (OU Specially Defensive) Earthquake 82.76 - 97.45% Outrage 74.29 - 87.57%
Ferrothorn (OU Choice Band) Earthquake 88.6 - 104.55% Outrage 79.77 - 94.01%
You OHKO everything but these mons and super defensive stuff like Regirock (they don't have on-site analyses so they're not on Honkalculator). You could play it safer and go with Life Orb but you miss the OHKOs on stuff like Balloon Heatran and Magnezone, Hippowdown, and the rare Porygon2 and Cresselia. Finally, do not pass to Kyurem-B. It 2HKOes the same stuff but cannot OHKO nearly the amount of things since it doesn't get Earthquake.
Also I moved this question to this thread, since this is the thread for simple questions / answers. Ask here next time and welcome to Smogon!
