I'm just used to hacks being illegal, period. Thank you for clarifying though.

Say a pokemon; Ferrothorn, Garchomp, Sharpedo. Are behind a sub and are with a direct attack (mach punch) Would the attacking pokemon lose Hit Points from their ability and rugged helmet?
A legal hack is one that is obtained by cheating (Action Replay or a similar method), but is hypothetically possible to obtain without cheating (no more than 510 EVs, legal move combinations, etc.). It's generally done by people who don't have the time and/or patience to train a team legitimately.
It's been a while. Does Scrappy work for all types and immunities, or does it just work against ghosts?
Can Kangaskhan use Toxic on a poison type or Psychic on a dark type? Earthquake against Flyers? And, actually, even if it does just target ghosts, does it only apply to normal-type attacks, or can Scrappy SubPunch K-Kahn send Spiritomb running?

From what I saw, you can make wireless local trades as soon as you get the C-gear, and wi-fi trade as soon as you get on Castelia City.
Best nature for Standard Erufuun/Whimsicott? Is it a + Speed or a + Defense nature?
+ Defense, as with all your priority, your speed is rarely consequential.
I'm having a huge problem with the Buruguru, Natt, Gliscor defensive core. Does anyone have any suggestions on a wall-breaker that can effectively handle (OHKO) each one of these? Also, what's the best counter for bulky waters? For bonus points, find the wall-breaker from GEN I & II only. Thanks!
Off the top of my head I can think of a DD Zuruzukin with DD/HJK/Crunch/Ice Punch. It can set up on Nattorei and proceed to run through the three. If you need one from gen 1/2, you can use a TTar who has Crunch/Fire move/Ice move or even DNite if you can predict well.
The best counter for bulky waters in gen 5 is Birijion. However, both Rotom-W and Nattorei serve this purpose excellently as well.

The only non-priority move you're likely to be running is U-Turn, and being slower for that can sometimes be helpful anyway. Always +Def.
Does Balloon prevent Arena Trap from working?
Yes it does
If the game generates a shiny code for it, it re-rolls so it wont be shiny. So, Victini, Reshiram, and Zekrom will never be shiny, regardless of the situation, unless you have an action replay.
Does Trick Room's speed-altering effect kick in the turn it's used or the turn after? Like, say, if I have a pokemon use After You on a Trick Room pokemon in a double battle so it moves before the two opponents, will the order of the opponents moves be affected by Trick Room on that turn?
Reshiram and Zekrom actually can be shiny, I think, if you fill up your party and your entire PC so you aren't able to catch it, in which case it appears at Dragon Spiral Tower without a shiny check.
Reposted so it wont get Forgotten :p
The attacking pokemon will take damage from both the ability and their item. This applies evem if the attacker itself is behind a sub as well
I haven't been keeping up with the banned stuff at the moment.
What has been banned and where can I find that?
