Fortegoddx, order doesn't matter, so long as the final offspring satisfy the requirements for HP Ice (The even-odd type stuff. Can't remember HP Ice off the top of my head atm).
When using Weavile as an anti-lead, since fake out will always cause the opponent to flinch on the first move, why doesn't one always use fake out first regardless of what pokemon Weavile is battling? For instance, the strategy for an anti-lead Weavile against azelf or aerodactyl is to first use fake out to make them flinch and then a different move to finish them. However, against bulkier, slower leads like bronzong, the strategy changes to taunt and counter so they can't set up stealth rock. However, why doesn't weavile just use fake out first and then taunt and counter? Is it because counter will OHKO them so fake out is unnecessary or why? Because it seems that if there is any chance of the opponent pokemon not being OHKO'd by counter, it would be wise to first use fake out to ensure some damage so they will definitely be OHKO'd.
bulkier leads like bronzong aren't going to be holding focus sash. fake out can ensure a free turn against pokemon without inner focus, but is also used to break the sashes of frail lead pokemon like aerodactyl.
I think his point is that it's a no risk option to Fake Out, which is true for the situation he described. in OU Bronzong, etc, are unlikely to switch out against Weavile so IMO you might as well Fake Out for some LOL% free damage. it's different in UU though with Ambipom because Fake Out can give [Steelix/Registeel/Regirock] a free switch-in (especially against frailer leads that are more apt to switch out).
Not without the use of an extraneous device (aka an AR)

Azumariil and Kabutops both have access to aqua jet. Though they both can't switch directly into Yanmega.
Schyter has quick attack and technician (though it has the same Yanmega's crappy 4x SR weakness).
Muk, Banette, Spiritomb have shadow sneak.

Toss imo.
Lapras gets ice shard and avalanche.
Why doesn't dragonite get extremespeed? Seems strange. I'd use him if he had it.
On the analasis it says Linoone can learn extreme speed, but I dont see that on serebii. Can anyone tell me how he learns it?
I personally run 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA Bold for H-Rotom. Overheat will annihilate both of those pokemon unless they are carrying Occa berry, but only Scizor bothers to carry it rarely. You could also use Will-o-wisp instead of Overheat, make it learn Discharge, Rest, and Sleep Talk to make a formidable annoyer.
@ Ice-Master: Linoone gets ExtremeSpeed as an event move from the Gamecube 'game' Pokemon Box. I believe Expert Evan has one if you're interested in trading for it.
