if i am right giratina show up in the cave after you beat the champ(since cynthia is blocking the path until you beat her in the league anyway), if not then after the national dex, either way he is waiting there, the pixies will be waiting in they caves after the events on the distortion world.
Does the Everstone nature passing mechanic not work on foreign pokemon or pokemon from Japan?
I have a Japanese Adamant natured Ralts and when I had it hold the everstone like only 2 out of 15 offspring had an Adamant nature.

Correct, it won't work if the parents are from two different countries.
Damn
I thought I had found a good way to make a proper natured and IV pokemon with the power items and everstone.
Looks like RNG manipulation is still the only way.
First of all, thanks for the answer. But is there a more specific answer? I thought I had read somewhere that Metagross was the biggest threat to the Trick Scarf team, but assuming a neutral nature and no Spd EVs, the lvl 100 Meta would hit a speed of 264 after the trick. Where base 80s with a neutral nature and max speed EVs only hit 259 and still not be able to go first on turn 2.
Ohh, or is it so the first turn you're guaranteed to go first, with the scarf bringing your own speed up to 388? Is there some threat that's in the mid 380s? The reason I ask is that I have a Cresselia (base 85 Spd) that I want to use but it only has an IV of 18, meaning it only hits 256. And I want to know if there's some significant reason to use something just a bit faster.
There are two that I know of for a fact, being Mean Look and Spider Web.
I think RSE is set at the same time as RBY, and D/P the same as GSC. Dunno how many years seperate them, though.
Gen 2 was three years after Gen 1. Many NPCs mention this.
OU Anti Stealth Rock Lead
Hi smogo gangsters, I like to use mass offensive teams when I battle, and I often find myself getting ripped apart by stealth rock damage, as I lack a rapid spinner. So I was wondering what is a good OU anti stealth rock lead that will guarantee or 90% guarantee that my oponent does not get stealth rock up in the early game, but also allows me to go on an attacking rampage.
Suggestions?

It's Seed Flare time.
Aerodactyl? Aerodactyl is an extremely fast suicide lead. Here's the spread:
Aerodactyl@Focus Sash
Nature: Jolly
4 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed
Stealth Rock
Taunt
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Basically what you do is Taunt on the first turn, preventing your opponent setting up rocks, and then either set up your own rocks and attack, or switch. The only Pokemon faster in OU than Aero are:
Ninjask (doesn't set up rocks, if you see Ninjask I wouldn't worry about rocks at all, probably a Baton Pass team)
Jolteon (doesn't set up rocks either, but will probably KO Aero)
Electrode (can Taunt but doesn't set up rocks)
Opposing Aero (you are going to have to hope you win the speed tie...hehe)
Hope I helped!
No one ever answered this, so I'll answer it myself.
Yesterday was the 10th day after I set up the Rocky Blocks in the Marshland area of the Safari Zone and I was able to get a Bannette. Bannette takes 30 days with the blocks to be available, which means that you only have to keep the area open for the given amount of days and you can put the blocks in at any time after that.
Just to be sure I was correct, I put the 25 Forrest Blocks back in the Marshland area and I caught a Carnivine, which I wouldn't have been able to catch until 20 days later, otherwise. This means that someone should be able to place the Rocky Beach area in your Safari Zone when you get the ability to place new areas and get your Gible much earlier.
