I used a Tamato berry on a Yanma I was EV training at level 16, and its speed dropped by 5. I thought it only removed 10 EVs? Can I just re-EV it, or will the stat even out later?

Thanks for the rate! I'd like to address some of the things you mentioned really quick and add some more background on the team. I mainly just rely on paralysis to slow one or two guys down that would be able to sweep, and to get that lucky break that blows a 1v1 scenario for the other guy...

About a month ago, this team got me up to 1550 on the OU ladder, but I haven't really played much and would appreciate some creative input to update it. The team philosophy is bulky sweeping with a little BP support. I rely fairly heavily on paralysis support and agility and defense passes...

I still think you should try out my Breloom set, even without Scizor. You could also try: Blissey @ Leftovers Bold / Natural Cure 252 Def, Tinker with the rest as needed.. Softboiled Heal Bell Counter Seismic Toss It can score a surprise easy KO on a bulky physical sweeper with Counter, and...

I use a Scizor and Breloom similar to yours, and they work extremely well together. Scizor @ Leftovers Bold / Technician 224 HP 112 Def 172 Spe Agility Baton Pass Iron Defense Substitute The EVs are set to make Scizor as physically bulky as possible. 224 HP EVs yield 337 HP, a leftovers number...

I've heard of a battle log to text / warstory program? Is this true and where can I find it?

I've found that HP Fire works well on Yanmega as it destroys incoming Scizor and Forretress. You could also experiment with Substitute / Leftovers over Protect / Focus Sash. With a Sub up, it can punish switchers harder while Leftovers nullifies Sandstorm and Hail damage. If you plan on using...

When breeding, are IVs passed down from solely the male parent, or do they come from both? Also, is there a hold item that prevents Pokemon from learning level up moves while in the Day Care?

If I am breeding to get Spore onto a Breloom, should I let Shroomish evolve after learning Spore, or does Spore not count as a "level-up" move for Breloom parents? Basically, would Breloom Male (Spore, Leech Seed) + Breloom Female (Spore, Leech Seed) = Shroomish (Spore, Leech Seed) or...

If I'm using Yanmega on wifi, would 19 speed IV be ok for use with Speed Boost?

Encore is included in its moves on the Smogon Shoddy server... did we just mod it in?

@ Kay: I have no idea. I used to run a Cacturne which was somehow illegal on Official Server. Cacturne @ Focus Sash Adamant 4HP / 252 Attack / 252 Speed Encore Focus Punch Swords Dance Sucker Punch My question is: How does Cacturne learn Encore?

I use that same Skymin set, and it works great with prediction. Your Suicune would most likely benefit from Life Orb, but your team would benefit more from a phazing variant. Calm Mind Surf Rest Roar That Infernape set would be much more viable if he wasn't your lead. Your Bronzong has a...

Does Snatch steal moves like Dragon Dance and Swords Dance, or does it just steal the ones mentioned in the description? (Belly Drum & Defense Curl)

Since my RMT got buried without any significant nitpicks or comments, I'll try to support yours. I understand you run Taunt on your Azelf to stop set-up leads, but how do you deal with any Baton Passers when he's already exploded? Aside from Machamp's DynamicPunch, you have nothing past Azelf...
