I'm sorry to ask such a stupid question, but then wouldn't you have to switch another pokemon in? I mean, before the choiced poké uses trick?
Also, does embargo removes side effects such as the one of choice items, or not?
No. It's the beginning of the turn and we both have our pokemon out (his choiced, my anything). I decide to switch in my death fodder to scout his move, and he uses trick with no target (because my fodder died)
If it is supposed to lock him in, then has the glitch been fixed on shoddy2?
Since my opponent was able to switch moves afterward (just once)
Were you using an Adamant Lucario? The Mamoswine must have been Jolly.
What in OU acts as a good Latias counter? Not only do I have a strong one, but my friend's TrickCM Latias keeps defeating me on Shoddy. Arg.

@Otterpaw
1) Did Mamoswine receive any previous Speed boosts (such as Salac Berry activating or a Baton Passer passing it an Agility)?
2) Was your Lucario using Counter or Focus Punch? If so, those moves have negative priority, meaning they go after Earthquake.
3) Was your Lucario Adamant and his Mamoswine Jolly?
4) Are you sure it wasn't Scarfed? It may have had the item Quick Claw as well.
5) Was your Lucario paralyzed? If so your Speed is reduced by 75% iirc.
@Felileikaboss
Tyranitar and Scizor are big ones, capable of Pursuiting Latias as it tries to leave. And if it doesn't leave it won't like taking a pursuit anyway.

Well yeah.
Still, though, Tyranitar loses to Latias surf and Scizor to Latias something non-STAB.
If it expects the pursuit, it can probably outspeed and maybe OHKO? (I haven't run calcs, I'm just hypothesizing.)
CM Latias is a pain, you know.

Tyranitar is probably the best counter out there. If it puts in some Special Defense EVs it won't OHKO with Surf or Grass Knot, and Pursuit will kill it. Same with Scizor, but only against Latias that run Choice Scarf/Specs or one dragon attack.
Lots of steel types are pretty good counters too, like Metagross/Bronzong but you have to watch out for boosted Surfs; i don't think they'll OHKO though.
Blissey is good against all Latias without Refresh.
Mamoswine/Weavile can also Ice shard or even pursuit kill it.
And against CM Latias, I'm guessing that Scarf Latias also can revenge kill it, but only if switching in to a non-dragon type attack. But after that you're pursuit bait basically.
Most Tyranitar can run sufficient EVs to prevent a 2HKO from Choice Specs Surf. In fact, the only chance that Latias has is running Grass Knot. A Careful Tyranitar w/CB and 252 HP / 216 SpD can withstand many special attacks, walling all(most) Latias and OHKOing with Pursuit.
They are still flying type, but they touch the floor.
They still get -25% of stealth rock + Spikes + Tspikes :D
Now i have a question o_o!
- Now in HGSS its legal to use Azumarill with Aqua Jet & Belly Drum?
Would be so freaking cool to have both on a same moveset... but it's still impossible...

If I use Protect and my opponent uses Stealth rock would that stop Stealth Rock?

Even when it's not a switchin, but a poké that's already on the field?

What do you mean? Entry hazards only deal damage upon the switch in.
