Check out this thread. It's not a glitch and there's a step by step guide in the first post. Basically you can abuse the RNG to give you shiny eggs.
Is it horrible if half of your team is weak to grass or water?
To add, I searched back through this thread and it looks like just a few others have reported this, but nobody replied to any of them. So does GTS cloning not work any more? And if so... why isn't there a bigger fuss about it? :/
This is my same question. It wasn't answered yet, and I didn't want it to get buried in all of the other questions... so yeah.
Chill Murray
get well soon jacoby..
My thread got locked, so I'll ask it here.
Having been gone from the battling scene for a year, what has changed with the addition of Platinum and the banning of Garchomp? Is getting Platinum worth the money and the time? Is Shoddybattle still the preferred battling program?

I just saw that this team: Heatran/Cresselia/Regirock/Shedinja finished highly in a doubles tournament and watched a video of it (http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=XeS_gTMiq_4) and have no idea how it works, someone care to fill me in?
LOL. Well, the first three were decimated horribly, so I can't tell you what they were supposed to be doing, but the Shedinja definitely took advantage of the fact that Ludicolo and Kingdra had nothing to use against it. I do believe it Swords Danced up and proceeded to sweep with the priority Shadow Sneak, but that's just a wild guess (I can't read Japanese, LOL). TBH, the player on our side of the field was an idiot in letting Shedinja set up. He should have switched to Gengar to Shadwo Ball immediately upon seeing Shedinja, instead of letting it set up to monstrous levels.
I've got a few random questions:
1. Does Smogon have a topic for discussion on the Platinum Battle Frontier? I saw the records topic, but I figured that wasn't the place for in-depth explanations (technical stuff, not the obvious stuff) or strategy discussion.
2. Is the chance to Thief/Covet/Trick/Switcheroo the Rare Candy from Celeste's or Liam's Blissey (before she Flings it) the only thing you ever get for battling the maids?
3. If Nintendo ever has another tournament where (their classifcation of) ubers will be allowed, do you all expect it will be at Level 100? I'd like to get a good idea about it before I level up my flawless Speed and Special Attack Timid TRU Shaymin past 50 (it's EV'd, but no Air Slash until 64... don't want to clone). I would assume yes, since there would be four (IIRC) usable Pokémon that are unobtainable until after level 50 (Mewtwo/Ho-oh/Tyranitar/Rayquaza). I know that they've banned the hidden legendaries in the past, so Shaymin could quite possibly never see tourney play, but I'd still like to know.
4. Would Modest be an acceptable nature over Timid for a NP sweeper Azelf? I know the suicide lead Azelf needs max speed, but I got what I recall as being a decent Modest one during my Diamond playthrough, so I'm wondering if it's worth EVing and leveling up.
I'd like to get multiple inputs on #3 and #4 if possible. Thanks everyone!

Ah, thanks for the answer. I really like the Aerodactyl idea but as you said it does leave even more of a weakness to ice. And the one problem with Heatran is that a legit Heatran would have no ev's in this competition. Someone on another site suggessted Magnezone. I figure this would help, plus with Magnet Rise it wouldn't be hurt by earthqauke.
However, that still leads a slot open. I suppose I could throw in a Heatran or Empoleon so as to keep from having a major Fire weakness. What do you think?
