Oh that, that's easily solvable by doing one little thing before CPing it.
If the pokemon can't learn it otherwise, i'd say not.
I would say have 1 purely offensive pokemon, one wall ( if it can set up hazards thats a plus), one bulky special attacker , one bulky physical attacker, and a scarfer, that always works for me
Ogosh yes. I meant if zoroark is disguised as a different zoroark, will ditto's ability activate?
yes, because its still a status move like confuse ray.
not 100% sure, but its unlikely as zoroark is still disguised even if its the same species
You'll need a gen 4 game, where Dark Pulse exists as a TM. Teach it to a male Ekans/Arbok/Gyarados/Seviper in gen 4, transfer it to Black, then use that to get Dark Pulse on Deino.
I can trade you a male deino with dark pulse and it'll have 31 in at least one of its IVs! I'm at school now though where our wifi is incompatible with DSs, so you'd have to wait until next week to get it.
You can transfer Pokemon from your gen IV games to your BW games using Pokecheck without them getting the Classic Ribbon (which would prevent them from being used in competition). So yes, if you're just using it to transfer them from one game to another they're legit. However, if you're thinking of downloading one off the site it will come with a ribbon that flags it as illegitimate, and you will not likely be allowed to use that in competition.
Yup, I was strictly concerned with using it for transfers. Thanks for the info!
That would be awesome! I don't really have much to offer, though, unless you would like me to EV train a Pokemon. And I just read that Deino needs to breed with a Pokemon that learned Dark Pulse through a previous generation...
Pretty sure Ditto's ability (I assume you mean Imposter) would activate, and then activate Illusion on yourself.
Not totally sure, as I had used Wine before but the Mac link on this page here might help. It worked for me, hope it helps you too :)
Well generally we want to avoid complex bans unless the impact on the meta by doing a simple ban would be too far reaching (hence drizzle + Swift Swim being a thing). Banning certain abilities on certain Pokemon is complicated both technically and ideologically, so generally we try to avoid them whenever possible. As for just banning the ability itself, that isn't really fair to all the users of the ability that AREN'T broken with it. Pokemon like Ninjask, Yanmega and Sharpedo aren't even remotely broken with Speed Boost, so banning the ability alone would have a lot of collateral damage.
