im trying to edit my team but whenever i click edit it keeps loading only......
Teams are mostly unique but, Latias and Scizor is a common combination.
SD Luke, DD gyra and CB Scizor are probable the most common sweepers. Tyranitar is a common tank. Blissey is a common wall.
Have a counter to CBScizor, Heatran, CBtar, SD Luke and DD Gyra. You should also have a revenge killer that can outspeed Salamence after a DD and a reliable switch to mixmence. (This is for a balance or stall.
Rotom-X is now the best spin blocker. E-Vire is bad. Cresslia is no longer the best wall. Weavile is bad. Tangroth is NU. Chomp, Deo-e and Skymin are all uber. DD tar is shit without the bibari berry. CBscizor is amazing. Heatran is now top OU. CB tar is the only really viable tar. SR is on every team. CMCune is no longer the best thing in OU. I feel obligated to mention zapdos-heatran-scizor was extremely common for a couple months. I would recommend browsing the usage stats from platinum onwards.
Zapdos, Vaporeon and Rotom-X.
Hacked? or not?
Hi guys I need help
I recently got a breloom over a wifi trade but their is a problem
Its ability is poison heal and it came from hoenn
obviously I thought it was a hack so I contacted the guy I got it from
He said that it was still a shroomish when he mirgrated it and then he evolved it into a breloom and effect spore changed to poison heal
Is this correct?
I think it may be true because the ohter day I was training on platinum and my machop evolved in machoke and its ability changed from guts to no guard so I think the same applies to breloom
Can someone shed some light on this?

A lot of these questions are things you will gain just by jumping into competitive play. That is honestly the best way for you to learn these things on your own. I can tell you some of my opinions, but they really won't be of much use to you.
For common Pokemon / move-sets try checking out Doug's statistics: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52941
For counters, try using our strategy-dex pages and going to the Counters section. We generally list the most popular ones and you can compare with stats to see how common something's counter is.
Consider signing up for the Battling101 program to get back in the hang of things also.
@Lugiamaster: It is possible to for a migrated Pokemon to change abilites upon evolution iirc.
haunter
Banned deucer.
Yes, it may be true. Pokemons bred in 3rd gen games and evolved in 4th gen games, can change their ability upon evolving.
According to the DP strategy guide, if I breed a female Pokemon with a male Pokemon, the hatched Pokemon will always have the ability of the female Pokemon. But I didn't find anything on that matter in the Platinum guide.
But put it this way: In Platinum, I have a Female Absol with a Jolly nature and Super Luck. If I were to give it an Everstone, and breed it with my male Smeargle, will every single Absol I hatch with them have Super Luck? AND the 50% chance of said Absol being Jolly as well?

No, the ability of the hatched Pokemon is completely random , even if the parent has an everstone; the everstone only affects the chance of passing down the nature. So, it would have the 50% chance of the Absol being Jolly, but the ability would still be random.
No, they do not; unless you can actually stand in front of them and battle them, and they're not runners, Synchronize won't affect the nature.

WOOOHOO.
If I get a ditto from japan (or some other country) for it to be counted as international, does it's description have to be in japanese, or just the name/ OT?
Each Pokémon has a hidden value which represents the country it is from.
It would be if you changed to EVs, why does it have 252 in attack when it doesnt have an single attacking move? Put it into HP if you want it to do some good.
What is a quick efficient way to get my Riolu to evolve in my platinum playthrough?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Manaphy can be gotten from Pokemon Ranger. Nothing for Darkrai currently.
Those Attack EVs aren't needed. Double Team won't help you in the long run. Maybe Endeavor?
Sooth Bell and lots of battles. If you have EV reducing berries, those help (though you need over 100 to get him there off berries alone).
Give it a Soothe Bell and run around for a looong time.
Give it vitamins.
Give it EV reducing berries.
Give it energy drinks (lemonade, Moomoo milk, etc.)
Level it up.
Combination of the above?
