I can't seem to find the Heracronite in my Y game. I've beaten the Elite 4, got the national dex, ect. But when I go to the patch of grass in Satalune Forest where it should be, there is no sparkle indicating the item is there. I've even poked around the area to make sure it's not hiding, but the megastone isn't there. Am I missing something?

First, you need to have beaten your rival in Kiloude City, then gone to Anistar City to get your Mega Ring updated. After that, the megastones only appear at night from 8-9.
Thanks a bunch!
And to get the rival to appear for a battle at all, you must have at least one win at the Battle Maison.
Say I have a Bisharp in Black 2 with Knock Off. I then transfer it to X. If I were to breed it, would Knock Off be passed down? (I want to use a Bisharp with Quick Guard and Knock Off in the next Doubles competition, and Quick Guard is an XY-only egg move).
No, Knock Off isn't in Pawniard's list of egg moves, thus it won't pass down. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Damn, that's a shame. TrollFreak strikes again. I guess I'll have to settle for Night Slash then.
Does the Suction Cups/Stick Hold ability activate in terms of fishing even when the Pokemon with the ability is fainted?
Edit: Thanks for the answer! Glad to know I don't have to level up some lame Pokemon just so I can chain fish in peace.

Yes, it does. That's the only reason why chain fishing is a thing ;x
I went with Timer
Alright so I'm about to catch one of these (Well, a Riolu) in the FS in X/Y. Best Ball?
I've seen other people use Dive
You could, of course, pop it in a Safari ball
Just follow the advice/guide that Tatertot uses - I do the same thing.
To quote him:
I hope this helps you (in some way).
EDIT:
Forgot to mention... yeah, I know you stated that you were going to catch it in the FS in XY. You could easily trade for any other non-XY balls in the WiFi section. The choice is yours.

I can actually understand the Luxury Ball. Helps friendship go up because Riolu needs to evolve in order to breed. But I chose Dive Ball because it (mostly) fits. Thanks for the advice! And I'll save that quote into my notepad :)I went with Timeron mine, but I have different criteria when matching 'mons with balls.
I've seen other people use Dive(o...kay?), Luxury
(ugh), and Quick Ball
(I can see it, yeah).

(Also, I would of traded on the Wi-Fi forums except for the fact that Female Riolu tend to be worth more thanks to the ratio :/)
I could easily breed and trade you a spitback, if you wanted. I raise all my breedables to Lv. 100 with the correct IV spread, nature, and egg moves - I also use a 6 IV Ditto.
It's quite alright. It gives me something to do ^_^
Where can I find a thread for TCG stuff?
No, just Double and Triple Battles. Rotation Battles only have one of the three Pokemon on each side attacking at a time (but both sides can choose to rotate in which of the three they want to attack with) and Round needs both or all three Pokemon on the same side using it at the same time to power up.
On the other hand, Echoed Voice will power up if more than one Pokemon use it consecutively in a Rotation Battle. (come to think of it, I think the Aurorus/Exploud/Chatot Rotation Battle in Cafe Le Wow attempts to use this strategy. A Refrigerate Echoed Voice from Aurorus after one or both of the others have used it might not be fun to take...if they last that long)
Thanks! That's a really big help! :)
There was a TCG forum, but unfortunately it was deleted.
I am not 100% sure if I should ask it here but couldn't find a thread for it so here we go:
Since I am playing my Pokemon Soul Silver a lot again since a few days and I now wanna try my best at the battle tower. The most popular tactic to get high win streaks in generation 4 is usually the Trick + Choice Scarf combination combined with 2 set up sweepers like Garchomp, Registeel, Salamence or even Drapion but since that seems a bit cheap and boring I am asking, are there any other methods of getting high win streaks? With that I mean what other battle tower strategies are there besides the usual Trick + Choice Scarf strategy and what Pokemon can I use for getting high win streaks. From what I found out by watching a few other wins streaks 3 slightly bulky attackers with good defensive synergy also seems to work but what Pokemon would I need for that. I generally don't really mind breeding for Pokemon and I have access to all of them minus the event Pokemon so I think I should be able to get most of the Pokemon from the first four generations.
Thanks in advance :)

You'll find the old leaderboard for the fourth generation games here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/thread...e-frontier-and-dp-battle-tower-records.52858/
While most of the top teams are Trick-based, you'll see some successful "good-stuff" squads mixed in too. Infernape/Latios/Metagross, Latios/Scizor/Gyarados, Gengar/Garchomp/Metagross, etc. Give it a look. It's probably the best place to start when hunting for ideas.
As far as my own experiences, I wasn't a Smogonite back then, but imperfectly IVed Garchomp/Metagross/Milotic got me over 100 in the Diamond tower.
Thanks for the advice :). I now have a team in mind consisting of Zapdos, Lucario and possibly Latios since together they resist every type. However there is one problem. Since I already caught the one Latios you get in Soul Silver a long time ago and it is a Bashful nature or one of those non boosting natures. Now should I either use that Latios since Bashful isn't that terrible, should I somehow try to get one with at least a decent nature or should I look for another Pokemon to fill that slot al together. I could also maybe try to ask my sister if I can try to catch a decent Latias on her Heart Gold but she is only around the sixth gym and like never plays the game. This is pretty annoying as Lati@s covered all the types Zapdos and Lucario together didn't resist.
Hey,
I wanted to RNG a Landorus on BW2, but I have no way to find out my Secret ID to do so. Is anybody here who could help me? :)

You would likely be better off asking up in the Wifi Forum: http://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/wi-fi.53/ They have a fair few experts in RNG.
Quick and slightly complicated question about IV breeding.
Note that nature is irrelevant in this case.
If I have 2 perfect IV parents, and one is holding a destiny knot and the other is holding a power item, do I have a one in 6/12 (I'm bad at this kind of math stuff) chance of getting a pokemon with perfect ivs or a one in 31 chance of getting a pokemon with perfect ivs due to the power item automatically choosing one of the 5 IVs that's passed down via destiny knot?
