What is this for? An in-game playthrough? You do realize Ho-Oh is the last thing you get in the game after... doing literally everything else?

I want to beat every trainer in the lv 100 colosseums
Hi, I had a question about breeding mechanics, namely the Destiny Knot, is there a specific place I should go to for that? Or just here?
The Destiny Knot passes five different IV's from both parents to the offspring chosen at random, and it doesn't matter which parent holds it. (usually the parent that isn't holding an Everstone to pass the nature down) That's... pretty much all there is to it.
Welcome to Smogon, by the way! Next time you've a question related to the competitive scene, ask it in the SQSR thread in the Wifi sub-forum. (Orange Islands is more for the in-game stuff such as Battle Maison and spin-off games like Mystery Dungeon)
Will HP Water work under Desolate Land? If it works, will its damaged be reduced by half?
It will not work.
It'll fail. Same goes for Hidden Power Fire under Primordial Sea.
All legendary Pokemon accidentally (or intentionally) fainted will respawn where you found them if you defeat the Elite Four afterward. (Deoxys will be at the top of Sky Pillar) Groudon is found in the same spot it was in last time, but this time you take the newly opened path to the left to get there. If it isn't there chilling in a pool of lava, then check your PC as you probably already caught it. (I'd say check the Pokedex, but I don't know if you had touch-traded for one to get its entry and skip that part of the capture)
Hi there I have some specific questions. I haven't found answers anywhere when I searched, so there I am.
I'd like to restart my Pokemon Y game, but I'd like to keep my battle videos. So here are the questions I have:
1) Does erasing my save file also erase battle videos?(I know it's not stored in the same place, but it might still erase related content)
2) Does a new save file change the encryption of the data? ==> If the data isn't erased, would it still be readable, and would saving the data on my computer and then re-inserting it work?
I hope there is a solution to do what I want to achieve. If any of you experienced similar issues, I'd gladly listen to your advice.
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know what donating money does in pokemon super mystery dungeon? Just clicked it by accident and want to know if i should reload my save
You can't. Charm is a level 1 move on Happiny, which isn't able to get Seismic Toss as an egg move. I'd just focus on getting Seismic Toss onto Chansey, as then you don't have to deal with Happiny and trying to get Oval Stones to evolve it when you get one with better IV's than what's in the Day-Care. (that and Chansey's major Taunt bait, and is better able to cripple opponents with Toxic or Thunder Wave which it happily learns via TM)

Do I need to encounter a certain number of Timburr with DexNav before I can get one with its Hidden Ability, and if so, how many is that?
EDIT: Okay, I'm getting them now. If I continue to encounter Timburr, will my chance of getting one with a Hidden Ability increase, or not?

It will increase. Bulbapedia approximates the chances of getting a HA as 5% at search level 10, 15% at 25, 20% at 50, and 23% at search level 100.
Is there any way to reorder single items in the bag in X/Y/OR/AS (the same way you could do it via the Select button, I believe it was, in older games), rather than sorting the bag entirely?
Y button or drag-and-drop in OR/AS, probably the same in X/Y.
Another question: What is the ideal party for hatching eggs now that Flame Body / Magma Armor abilities stack? Is it 3 FB/MA Pokémon + 3 eggs?
From Bulbapedia :
Although Hatching Power can stack with the effects of either Ability, the effect will not stack up if multiple Pokémon with Flame Body and Magma Armor are in the party.
Although Hatching Power can stack with the effects of either Ability, the effect will not stack up if multiple Pokémon with Flame Body and Magma Armor are in the party.
Flame Body/Magma Armor don't stack, so the ideal party is 1 + 5 eggs. (Hatching Power does stack with either, however) Talonflame or Volcarona are often ideal picks since they can learn Fly to take you to the IV judge in Kiloude. (the Battle Resort in OR/AS has that infinite loop for hatching and a Day-Care for breeding if you don't care about hatching in a special location)
Oh, I had heard that they stacked. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
What would be my chances of finding the following Pokemon?:
- Shiny Kyogre, with Modest nature, with IV spread of 31/x/x/31/x/+25
- Shiny Groudon, with Adamant nature, with IV spread of 31/31/x/x/x/+25
- Shiny Rayquaza, with Naive or Hasty nature, with IV spread of x/31/x/31/x/31
- Shiny Mewtwo, with a Jolly nature and 25+/31/x/x/x/31 IVs
- Non-shiny Mewtwo, Jolly 31/31/31/x/31/31
It all depends on your ID/SID. Depending on your ID/SID, you have a 1/8192 chance of a particular spread being shiny. As for spreads in general (which will not be shiny unless your ID/SID permits them to be), here are the first occurrences of your targets in Emerald:
Kyogre: first such spread occurs @ 3 minutes
Groudon: first such spread occurs @ 65 minutes
Rayquaza: first such spread occurs @ 88 minutes
As for the FR/LG spreads, it's hard to say, as those games cycle through different seeds and there's no Time Finder feature for them, but just going by math alone:
shiny Mewtwo: P(shiny) * P(nature) * P(HP) * P(Atk) * P(Spd) = (1/8192) * (1/25) * (7/32) * (1/32) * (1/32) = 7/6710886400
non-shiny Mewtwo: P(nature) * P(HP) * P(Atk) * P(Def) * P(SpD) * P(Spe) = (1/25) * (1/32) * (1/32) * (1/32) * (1/32) * (1/32) = 1/838860800
==============================================================================================
2 questions of my own: If I want a Pokémon to win all Master Rank contests in R/S/E, is a neutral nature best for Pokéblock purposes, or is it entirely doable with any nature? Also, are ribbons from gen 3 carried over all the way to gen 6, or are they lost somewhere along the line?
