So Endure first. Not that complicated.
Endure is a good idea but it really comes down to which one is faster in that circumstance, a scarfed kyogre or a motor drive boosted electivire. Zapados and electivire combo would definately be a great lead killer since even if it is facing a TR team then zapados can heat wave the usual dialga and electivire can EQ it to death.
Endure is great. But Hail and Pritory moves can hurt you. Hitmontop is getting too common now.
Focus sash works too. But again, hail and sand can ruin that as well.
Not sure. I hope not though.
Until TPCi says anything on the subject, nobody knows anything. Ask again after Worlds in August.
I would say Adamant, because he isn't going to be outspeeding Weavile (almost all will be Jolly) or anything else relevant if you make it Jolly.
Won't 5th Gen be out by the next VGC? If it is then it is almost impossible to predict what the VGC will be like. If it isn't out I reckon it will be the same GS Cup Style.
He is almost always used as a lead alongside a Trick Room User. Expect Fake out or Follow Me first turn, then Super Fang or Dark Void Second turn. They almost always hold Focus Sash
I have a Pokemon with pokerus that I want to trade to my Soul Silver, but I used AR to get Items. So I was wondering if my pokemon with the pokerus would affect my SS game coming from my ARed Platinum?
Edit: To clarify what I am saying. Will my pokemon with the Pokerus be affected from my AR cheating and would that show my Soul Silver game being hacked when I obtain my guy from my hacked Platinum game? I want to participate in the VGC, but I don't want to go there to get the boot because I traded over a guy from a hacked game.
Edit2: Will it be Hacked Detectable by Nintendo at a VGC.

Well, I think I said this to someone else, but I recall to last year's VGC where I made it to the finalists (before losing to IPL on a stupid mistake =.=) and I had 999 of everything. I was like, "Oh shit... I'm going to be DQ'd." But I wasn't, s I don't think it would matter. I also had all my moves PP maxed as well.
Several people have reported passing with multiple one time items. The only report that said he got DQ'd for "Too many grass knots" - i honestly think he was trying to makeup a story for why he REALLY got DQ'd.
Helping Hand has a priority of 5, making it the fastest move available, so yeah it'll go first.
ty coaster for the answer
so in the VGC some have to battle 3 people to get into the finalists round [atleast thats what i saw in seattle] but i have heard some had to beat 4 people, how does that happen? is that like a last people situation for those who didnt get in line till 5 min b4 1:30 pm and the staff had to find a system to even players out?.....or something, basically how does that process of 4 battles work.

Probably it depends on the number of turn outs. The more people, the more rounds perhaps.
