1) Why is it that when somebody posted the same thing as you moments before you did, it was referred to as "ninja-ed", "greninja-ed" or "ninjask-ed"?
2) Where do we find the usage stats of PS?

Ninjas are fast and stealthy-they're basically saying "you got there first" or "you beat me to it", bc if you just straight up repeat the exact post someone made just before you, you'll look like a twat
Does anybody know if there are any good offensive Stealth Rock users that can force out Fighting-types?
If not, would something like offensive SR Mew be viable?

Skarmory with Brave Bird
Depending on the type-coverage of the fighting type in question, landorus-t can set up rocks and threaten out a fighting type lacking a good ice type move, as can clefable if they are lacking a steel type (bullet punch from lucario) or poison type (poison jab from conkeldurr) move.
What's considered the better nature/set for Mega Gardevoir right now? Timid with Will-O-Wisp or Modest with Taunt or Calm Mind?
As far as moves go, Will-O-Wisp is better if your team needs a way to cripple Mega Metagross and Mega Scizor, but Taunt or Calm Mind is better for wallbreaking. It's mostly a team dependent thing, so there's no 100% correct answer.

What exactly is the point of SpD Skarmory? I see people using it lately, compared to before when it was never, ever used. Also, what're some of the better checks/counters to Life Orb Gengar for balance to run that, a) aren't incredibly passive, and b) aren't AV Torn-T or Tentacruel?
Thanks for any responses.
Thanks for any responses.
SpD Skarmory gets decent mixed bulk by investing in special defense which allows it to handle pokemon such as landorus-i and mega gardevoir. A great check to LO gengar is assault vest raikou as it can gain momentum with volt switch and isn't passive at all.
edit: nice ninja
Spdef skarm takes hits from the likes of mega gardevoir, mega diancie, the lati twins, reuniclus, etc much better. Spdef skarm typically runs iron head for mega diancie, other wise it can potentially lose to cm variants since brave bird does pitiful damage.
Other answers to Gengar are Mandibuzz (not that passive because foul play), Dragalge, and AV Raikou.
lol ninjad but w/e

Nomad, vagabond, call me what you will
Try a site like pastebin.com or just save them to your computer.
There are plenty of mons that deal with pinsir effectively. Scarf lando-T, Zapdos, Rotom-W, Rhyperior mega manectric and raikou are just a few
to be honest, hastebin.com is much better because you can edit already submitted work and put it into a raw form where you literally just have to hit ctrl+a & ctrl+c to import them.
I prefer hastebin as well simply because it's faster, but pastebins are kept forever while hastebins dissappear after a while.
they do?
What's the best secondary defensive typing for Rock?
Grass covers a lot of rock's weaknesses. Unfortunately, rock is a poor defense type in general.
Are there any good hazard setters that beat Mega Sableye?
I believe SR Clefable and Bulky Excadrill can. I'll see if I can find more.
EDIT: nothing else really stood out (though I'm sure that I simply missed some), and I thought I'd mention that Bulky Excadrill really just threatens M-Sab with Mold Breaker Toxic, so I'm not sure if that really constitutes "beating" it
