Is Tentacruel The best spinner for almost-HO teams? Or is someone else more capable?
Starmie is a much better spinner for you. While Tenta is a great spinner in its own right, Starmie should always be used if you're going for offensive due to better coverage, Speed, and Sp. Atk.
Ok, I just appreciated the T-Spikes support.
Starmie with LO or Lefties?

Is there a way to make a pokemon hatch in a different ball than the normal pokeball?
Can Reflect or Light Screen be Snatched by Snatch or does that not work?
As I understand it, first it was apparent that Blaziken was broken because of its ability. We could either ban Blaziken in its entirety or Speed Boost (thus ruining or essentially banning Pokemon such as Yanmega or Ninjask). Speed Boost was also decided not to be broken on these less powerful Pokemon, and it would be simply too confusing to ban Blaziken + Speed Boost. The only option was to ban Blaziken altogether.Oh... In that case, may I ask: Why are both forms of Blaziken banned? I understand the reasons for Speed Boost, but can someone provide me a link to posts about the normal Blaziken ban, or just state some reasons.
The reasoning was that the pokemon should be banned for it's best set. Sort of like how Garchomp was banned for It's SD+Yache set last gen (I believe?). Blazikens best set was Swords Dance/High Jump Kick/Flare Blitz/??? which was determined to be overpowered. So all Blaziken were banned.Oh...

Did you download it legitimately or is it hacked? If it's hacked, you probably hacked it incorrectly. If it's legit, are you sure you're at the right dock?
I didn't actually download it, someone just gave me a pokemon that was holding the pass. What I did was, after I received it, I instantly removed the pass then went to Castelia city.
I believe you have to download it. The game senses the event unlocking item being downloaded, and hence the sequence with the green Pokemart guy occurs.
Just trading a Pokemon holding it might not activate the game's sequence of events.

So there ain't no other way to get Victini? Because damn the V-create is so epic I can't let it pass. But thanks for replying guys. :)
Well. Probably best to ask someone who knows the game's code better than I do, but I always bring all my games to the event and download them one after the other to make sure. At any rate, I traded my event Victini to a friend after I downloaded it, and it did nothing to his game (Castelia City still is the same confusing city, no new ships leaving), so I would assume the Pokemon nor the item being traded would be enough.
After hearing this, I became a little suspicious. I opened up my White and saw that (even though I accidentally hacked and gave myself 900 of them) a Pokémon can not hold the Liberty Pass. It is without a doubt hacked.
Don't worry about V-Create, Victini doesn't learn it by level-up, and there is no legitimate way for the one you find on Liberty Island to actually get V-Create.
Hi, I'm new to the VGC side of Pokemon. Would like to know which team(s), like for example Beat Up Justified, Trick Room teams, has/have been winning or placing very well consistently in tournaments (such as vgc regionals) for the vgc 12 metagame?
Is the vgc 12 metagame one whereby all pokemon in national dex can be used, except ubers?

Go here for VGC questions.
Thinking of making a team somewhat inspired by Sinnoh Champion Cynthia. Out of these pokemon, which two would work best on an OU team? Roserade, Spiritomb, Eelektross, Gastrodon, Togekiss, Milotic, Lucario, Braviary...
It depends on the rest of the team. If you were using a team based on only those Pokés, I would forgo Braviary/Togekiss and Milotic/Gastrodon to keep up the variety
It's weird that she uses Stone Edge over Rock Slide in double battles on Tyranitar but I guess that makes your life easier. Breloom or Virizion destroy that team though, especially Breloom since it can Spore Bronzong before it sets up Trick Room. The only thing Breloom has a problem with is Reuniclus so if you pack a good Ghost or Dark-type you can probably take her team out without too much difficulty. As long as you stop Trick Room and get your momentum going you should win
