A ridiculously noob question, but it's bugging me. Do berries dissapear after a battle?

In-game, yes. On WiFi, no. If they're used, that is.
I'm pretty sure it depends on the actual time and not the time the battle started.
The strategy pokedex already has a lot of Platinum changes.
How can I tell which pokemon have been updated?
Almost every pokemon has been updated to this point. Also, if you want to check, lets say, Scizor, go to Scizor's page and you should see that it has Bullet Punch and the likes, which are Platinum move tutors.
The only way to "trade" from Emerald to Platinum is with the Pal Park, as it was in D/P.
Yes, you can trade between Platinum and Diamond/Pearl.
Yes since Evasion Clause only prevents the use of voluntary evasion increases.
My question was never answered. Does anyone know about this?
Eh, we're not supposed to talk about hacking.
I want to use this set for a lead:
Jirachi @ Occa/ Shuca Berry
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 4 HP
~Iron Head
~Stealth Rock
~Fire Punch/ U-Turn
~Body Slam
The problem is, I can't get Body Slam. I was looking through its movepool and found something interesting: Secret Power. It has the same 30% Paralyze effect. Is Secret Power worth the 15 less points in power?

Okay. So even if I'm breeding with a Ditto, the other Pokemon has to be male to pass egg moves, right? >.>
(Ditto is not holding an Everstone)

Yes, that's right.
Did they fix the Nature-Egg check glitch in Platinum?
Also, if I am breeding a Pokemon that has 2 abilities, does it have a higher chance of passing down its ability over the other one? For example, will my Porygon with Download make more babies with Download?

Banned deucer.
Can anyone with platinum confirm this?
Abilities are random, you can't exert influence on them.
Seeing as Body Slam is used almost specifically for Paralysis, Secret Power should suffice. Alternatively, you could try Thunder Wave.
Starmie is indeed a worthy choice for a hail team. Resists fighting and steel, and is neutral to rock, so even with the hail damage its still viable. If you wish to include Trick, may as well go for something like
Starmie @ Choice Specs
Nature: Timid
EVs: 36 HP / 252 SpAtt / 220 Speed
Ability: Natural Cure
- Hydro Pump
- Blizzard
- Thunderbolt
- Grass Knot / Psychic / Trick
The choice between the 4th move depends on if you want the flexibility of a grass move, the rarely used Psychic as a surprise, or Trick for its infinite usefulness. Test all three out before you decide which to use. I like 220 EV in Speed to beat all those lazy 216 EV Starmies who just want to beat Gengar.

I thought it was "News post." Like on the front page. But that makes sense, too.
