Still looking...
Yes.
I can help. Adding you now.
Is there anybody who can trade me 'mons to make SRing Rayquaza easier? I hear Kadabra with 173 speed is possible as is Final Gambit Starraptor with 247 HP, so if anybody has either or both of those specific Pokemon floating around and willing to trade I would appreciate it very much. CMT and that'll include the inevitable flawless mega dragon I catch :D
EDIT: Belay that, connection issues.
I'll be on in a moment.
EDIT AGAIN: Well apparently you can't trade stuff that knows HM moves. Let me fix that real quick.

No you see I want to ensure the 31 in speed, so I run focus sash on the staraptor. (If Kyogre goes second [not 99] speed then I can just reset). The proposed Staraptor will have 98 speed.
Someone who has a timid female charmander? iv doesnt really matter
The thing is, if Kyogre uses a damaging move, Staraptor won't have it's full "1 under" HP, so the Final gambit test becomes pointless at that point.
OH I SEE THE POINT. I am so dumb sometimes. So what's the best way to go about this then? Just have two separate pokemon to see the two respective stats?
The syncher with 98 speed and staraptor probably?

Banned deucer.
just have a non-reckless Staraptor. The Intimidate text will only appear first if Staraptor is faster. If Kyogre is faster then the Drizzle text will show up first.
On a side note, was checking through my boxes and I found out a flawless HP Ice Surf Pikachu from Pokewalker back from HGSS. Any way I can Pokebank it? I mean, Surf is a HM so I can't even transfer it to 5th gen, and I'm guessing that if I move delete Surf it won't be able to remember the move in either 5th/6th gen. :/

No. It has to forget Surf, and then will be unable to remember/be taught the move again. Sorry.
Your original request, which I've quoted, had you asking for a Staraptor for 157 HP, and 98 Speed. I fully understand how to speed test, but if Kyogre out speeds your final gambit user, and you survive with a focus sash, you will deal 1 damage with Final Gambit, and then die. You are much better off running a speed tester, then, if it is out sped, let it die and then send out the final gambit user.
With the staraptor you're requesting, you'll never out speed the 30-31 Speed IV Kyogre and thus wont be able to get off a final gambit (which only deals damage equal to your current HP). If all you wanted was a speed tester, any monster with 98 speed will work, but for final gambit to work, you need to out speed to ensure the damage is done. Best of luck soft resetting and let me know if you need my starly; back in 45 minutes or so from this post.
EDIT: I'm back now, but you didn't PM me about starly, so, I'll be back later...

Okay so I've been SRing for a Reshiram in a premier ball for about 2 hours now. Do you guys think that it is worth the time to get it in a specific ball? I could have this done by now with an ultra ball but I just feel that it looks terrible in that. Also, I don't think there is any way to RNG in sixth gen, if I am wrong and someone can correct me that would be wonderful.
Also, I am using a Modest synchronizer.
EDIT: Just caught one, finally. I'm actually considering a toss though. Here are the IVs:
8/8/31/30/31/30
It's just kind of meh.

RESHIRAM AND ZEKROM AND BE SHINY NOW
have fun SRing
It's definitely worth it, Ultra ball Reshiram is ugly IMO. You'll be proud of yourself once it's all over and done with.
I can help you.

Okay guys I actually just caught one. Keep or toss?
Modest Nature
8/8/31/30/31/30.
I mean it's decent but do you think I should try longer for a different HP stat?
Yeah... HP stat on that one is too low I'm afraid.
:'( here goes another 2 hours.
