Well, the thing about Stealth Rock is while it has the potential for massive damage, not many things are 4x weak, only Charizard and Ho-oh I believe, and 2x weak pokemon recieve the same damage as Spikes, with 3 layers. I would go with Spikes, but if possible, use both, as they are useable with each other.
If you have nothing else using Stealth Rock, I'd go with SR due to Focus Sash. Teams with multiple focus sashes can really get in the way of your sweep, SR removes that threat.
He brings up a good point, while Spikes can be avoided by the common flying types, Stealth Rock will always hit. Again, this is why I would try to use both if possible. If not, you have to choose between consistent damage yet longer set up time, as well as avoidance by common flying types such as Salamence and Gyarados or random damage and quick set up.
Yes, every turn the frozen pokemon has a 10% chance of defrosting. (That might have changed, or my sources were bad, but last I checked it was 10%)
as for my Cresselia, I got rid of it cause it had a 2 IV in Special Defense. :(
I plan on using a Clefable in my team, more specifically, the Calm Mind set in the Clefable Analysis. However, I don't have access to Emerald, and thus to Softboiled. Also, my team needs Wish support really badly, so my question is:
Could that set still work with Wish instead of Softboiled?

You could use Moonlight instead, but wish could work as well.
Oh, on the subject of Moonlight, I had a question about those kinda of healing moves (Moonlight, Morning Sun, Synthesis etc).
By what exactly are they affected by? I understand that for example Sandstorms ruin Synthesis, is the same true for Morning Sun and Moonlight? Basically, when is the healing 25%, 50%, or more (if that's possible?)

IIRC that's 1/8192
i'm not 100%, but i believe that rain, sandstorm, hail = 25%; no weather = 50%; and sunny day = 66% for all those three healing moves
How do you soft reset?
L+R+START+SELECT
Thanks.
what are the best pokemon that can wish?
My personal favorites from adv were Jirachi and Vaporeon. It looks like Togekiss can use Wish pretty effectively too now.
Also Umbreon.
Pokemon holding them. I just catch Starlys for the Yache Berries.
question on evolution and stats.
An evolved Pokemon's stats obviously increases more when they levelup compared to a non-leveluped Pokemon. Does this mean that if you keep a Pokemon from evolving than you finally evolve it later on in the game, would it have less stats than a Pokemon evolved at its original level?
Need to know as considering whether to straight away evolve my pokemon or keep it unevolved to learn moves it otherwise wont.

It doesn't matter when you evolve a pokemon, it won't change its stats in the end.
What's up with my game deciding the pokemon shouldn't have any eggs for like, half a hour?
I got a Shroomish with a Ditto in daycare, and I was breeding heaps earlier, and now it's been a good half hour of pure going up and down that path, I've soft-reset, restarted DS, took 'em out and put em back in, and still no more babies. ._.
