You should read some of Punchshroom 's warstories. The Riolu horror...
....huh. so he can still do it, but any given Ghost Type will put an end to it. Still, not a bad idea......
You won't really need speed, so everything but speed.
The team I'm making has: Rotom-W, Mega Lucario, Deoxys-S, Thundurus-I, and Scarf Genesect. What should my last pokemon be?
I believe so.

So, I've just recently started picking up on a few additional battle mechanics. I want to run Crobat, and with 0 HP investment at Level 50, it reaches 160 HP, which is a Leftovers number, I believe. However, it is tempting to run some HP investment, but the next possible Leftovers number would be 176 HP with 124 HP investment, but I believe it still takes maximum damage from Stealth Rock since it is divisible by 4. Would it be better to gain a Leftovers number, or take minimal damage from Stealth Rock, and does a Leftovers and Stealth Rock number exist?
Also, posted this in the wrong thread at first, pardon me.

So basically, it doesn't exist. Mm, just wanted to be certain. I assume I should just run a Stealth Rock number for it, then. Thanks.
It's in that one building on the surrounding street, 3rd floor given to you by an NPC, above the ghost girl in the lower floor.

Was curious about this one so I looked it up. Treecko with 12 HP at level one must have at least a 20 HP IV.
Close but wrong. Due to super-training (there are wings too but using up to 255 of the same wing seems highly unlikely), it's possible to have EVs without experience. So calculating that in, the minimum is actually zero.
Blast you!
In the context of the question, though, I maintain that he was most likely referring to a freshly-hatched, completely-untrained Treecko, possibly with intent of being able to filter hatched Treeckos by HP total before bothering feeding them to the IV calculator.
Yes, this is true. It also thaws you out if you're frozen and use it.
Will a female caught in a Master Ball still pass down the Master Ball to its offspring? I see no reason it shouldn't, but Gamefreak can be weird sometimes.
No, Master Balls cannot be passed down, iirc it results in the offspring being in a regular Pokeball when attempted.
Copycat doesn't copy Circle Throw; it didn't even in gen 5. (My source is a gen 5 movedex, but I'd be VERY surprised if this had been changed for gen 6)
In what scenario does the OU council begins to run a suspect like Mega Kang and Mega Gengar? A little bit curious as they seem to pop out of nowhere. (and I am starting to get tired seeing how Mega Lucario outclasses almost every single Mega in the meta)

Mega-Gengar and Kangaskhan weren't even suspected, but just quick-banned (see more about quick-bans in my sticky thread). We periodically discuss about the state of the metagame and evaluate if there are factors to consider for suspect tests/bans. We'll likely start suspect testing stuff quite soon.
Also, the fact that Mega-Lucario "outclasses" other Mega-Pokémon in the metagame is largely irrelevant. We don't test/ban stuff because they're the best at fulfilling a cartain role (otherwise Scizor would have been banned almost immediately in Gen V), but only when their presence in the metagame is perceived as unhealthy for its development.
Well, than I would wait patiently and see if my overview to lucario is correct
Just one more thing to be added on the note, the case could be a little different when it comes to Megas than other things like Scizor, that you only have one Mega slot. Mega Lucario repels not only for the position of a powerful set up sweeper but also things that are completely irrelevant outside being a mega. But of course this could be merely an overhype trend and will cool down a bit after things are settled down(although I don't really think so). While this alone is unlikely to be a sufficient reason, it surely stacks with existing factors. Hopefully I have written what I mean.

The fact that you have one mega slot is, again, irrelevant since, you know, you're not forced to carry a mega Pokémon on your team. Many would argue that Mega-Venusaur fits their teams much better than Lucario, because of its useful resistances and great defensive stats. Others might say that Mega-Charizard X is a better set up sweeper because of dragon dance and nearly unresisted dual stab, and so on. Anyway, don't worry, we're looking at Mega-Luke closely.
