Using two moveslots for suicide moves? I doubt it.

I don't, DB + HW allows you to take out an opponent's Pokemon and heal a Pokemon coming in. Gardevoir has the speed to pull this off...assuming the combo even works.
I'm gonna answer a few questions here:
Beating the E4 multiple times powers up your rival. To get other trainers at their strongest you need to catch/defeat Heatran. That's the "trigger" for activating their final teams.
Doesn't work. Destiny Bond keeps its effect until the user's next turn rolls around. In your case, since it's using Healing Wish, it obviously its turn so DB ends.
Yep. If you get Eevees (for example) in there and never talk to the guy again, you'll still have Eevees there until you eventually decide to talk to the guy enough to get Eevee kicked out to make room for a new Pokemon.
2 things incorrect about your idea. First, by using Healing Wish, it's your next move. Second, the opposing Pokemon didn't faint yours, meaning that it wouldn't KO them.
How are those two a combo? Healing Wish causes you to faint instantly, while Destiny Bond causes the opponent to faint if he KOs you. First off, you can't use two moves in one turn. Second, even if you could, Healing Wish is self-induced, so Destiny Bond wouldn't work.
You're just putting two suicide moves on one set. Waste of space, imo. =/
Is using an external device (AR) to get certain IV's acceptable to battle with?
I know it's absolutely illegal to trade and I will not be doing so, but would using it for a competative Poke be legal?
EDIT: And by all this i am doing Legal hacks, so no unfair IVs, just sheer laziness. Also, would legal hacks also count for pokesav?

Its absolutely fine. The majority of people use a program called Pokésav for this.

Banned deucer.
It's fine as long as you tell your opponent that you're using hacked Pokemon.
Sadly there's no sure counter for spore\sub\punch Breloom, usually the best strategy against it is letting it put to sleep something and then wall it with a Pokemon like Gliscor or use it as set up fodder for things like DD Mence or CM Latias.
Ok =]
Right, I need help making a semi-stall team or a wifi tournament.
I've decided to use BulkyDos as my Stat-upper, and a Careful Forrestrss as my lead.
My question is: What 3 stallish pokemon can complement Bulky Dos? I was thinking of Blissey, or maybe a Taunt Glicor, but I don't know where to start.

Well let's srtar by looking on Gyaras weakness, Electric. Here Gliscor is obviously good as he resist it and can answer back on electric pokemons (if they for some reason would stay in). Then let's look at Gliscors weakness Ice(and water), what resists that? a Vaporeon. And what is Vaporeons weakness? Electric which Gliscor already resisted. Lastly you might want a spin blocker, which can be Dusknoir, or you can go with a Swampert. So i'd have to say for good stallish pokemon who can complement BulkyDos is:
Gliscor. Roost/SR/Stone edge/Knock off/Eartquake.
Vaporeon. Hp electric/Surf/Wish/Toxic/Protect/Ice beam.
Dusknoir. Shadow sneak/Will-o-wisp/Ice punch/ Fire punch/EQ.
Swampert. EQ/Stone edge/Waterfall/SR/Roar/Ice beam.
Hope that helped.
Unless your Pokemon are lower levels than the wild, Repel does everything Cleanse Tag does and more. Cleanse Tag only decreases the chances of a wild encounter; Repel eliminates it.
Medicham uses substitute vs a Shuckle who uses X (without breaking the sub)
Next turn, Medicham will focus punch.
If shuckle encores next turn (the turn that says medicham is focusing) will the encore lock medicham into using sub repeatedly, or will it encore the focus punch instead?

It gets locked into Substitute because Focus Punch didn't technally go off yet.

One thing is are you using that for competitive battling or just regular pokemon gameplay?
i use jolly azelf with ice punch fire punch u turn zen headbutt counters most leads and lets you switch out if you can't counter it
If I have pokerus-ineffected pokemon 1 holding a power bracer (+4 attack evs) with pokerus, it encounters a gyarados, then switches to another pokemon who KOs the gyarados, does Pokemon 1 still get 12 EVs?
i have a question regarding ev's as well; im ev training an alakazam and its gotten 252 in both speed and sp. attack. sp. attack: 263 speed: 249 at level 72. this does not look righ and im extremely pissed can anyone help me?? pm me if u have an answer or u know the stats are correct
Back in the day, I used this handy tool. All you have to do is select your Pokémon, and input the EVs. It will then tell you the IVs for all your stats at that level.
Hey guys I have a quick question.
Well I PokeSav. But I do it legit. I keep the EV's below 510. I don't give all 31 IVs. My question is, if I put the pokemon that i poke'saved in my boxes will my stats go away? What if i had all 31 IVs and put it in my box will it still go away?
Yes I know its possible to get all 31 IVs but its hard. Just wondering guys please help me out!
Btw how do people calculate their EVs?
I know special sweepers like pokemon like Raikou who do special attacks. I know sweepers pokemon that do physical attack to win. Whats the difference between Wall and Special Wall? Also what are TANKS? And Wall breakers are pokemon that KO the wall pokemons right?
Im new at this so please dont flame :(

Yes, Pokemon 1 would get getting 12 EVs.
Probably should read some of these. It won't answer all your questions, but it will answer some:
