Once again I ask this simple question.

I'm assuming it has no Egg Moves, correct?

Blaziken @ Lum Berry
Blaze Kick/Flare Blitz
Brick Break/Sky Uppercut
Stone Edge/Rock Slide
Mirror Move

If you're going for a bulkier EV spread (lots of HP), then take Flare Blitz and Stone Edge. If you're focusing more on Speed, try Blaze Kick and Rock Slide. Brick Break vs. Sky Uppercut is a matter of preference. With Lum Berry, you can absorb a Sleep move. If you can predict this, you can fire the Sleep move back with Mirror Move.

EDIT: I don't claim that this is better than your set, but it is a set. What environment are you planning on using it in, again?

I like it, thanks. If I have spare time soon, it'll be up in my shop before you guys know it.

You need a pokeball for him to inhabit. That wasn't the case last gen, but Game Freak decided it made no sense for Shedinja to develop his own pokeball. Even though newly-hatched Pokemon do it all the time.

So yeah...buy a pokeball and try again.

If you only have a different kind like dusk ball, etc does it appear in one of those?
 
I doubt this simple question can be met with a simple answer:

Anyone know why there is a "The Policy Review" sub-forum? (It just appeared in the past few minutes. Seriously.)

EDIT: Another question actually directly Pokemon related:

Does the power of Pluck double if the opponent is holding a berry? (Serebii says it does, Smogon makes no mention of it.)
 
Why does the tankish Torterra set ask for an Adamant nature? Wouldn't Impish work a little better with the tankish bit?

Mew and Celebi are your only real choices for things with over 90 base Def. and Sp.Def. If you're in UU, Ledian has 110 base Sp.Def, but 50 Def. and major ouch to SR. Gliscor gets Baton Pass as an Egg move, and has 75 base HP, 125 base Defense, and 75 base Sp.Def.

The Smogon analysis has a SD Passer set which includes Recover and your choice of Return or Aerial Ace (if you actually want to USE the boosted Atk before passing it). Personally, I would give Facade a try since Natural Cure actually lets it absorb status. EDIT: Or just use Psychic or Grass Knot.
 
Excuse me for asking this, I know it's not really Pokemon-oriented, but what does tl;dr mean? -.-; I can usually figure these things out, but this one has me stumped.

The Urban Dictionary saves the day.



EDIT: Question on Punishment. BP = 60 + 20 * # of power-ups (200 maximum)

Hypothetical Situation 1: Salamence has used two Dragon Dances against Mawile while Mawile burned Salamence with Fire Fang. If Mawile uses Punishment, how many power-ups are counted? 4? 3?

Hypothetical Situation 2: Salamence v. Blissey. Salamence opens with Dragon Dance, Blissey uses Charm. Salamence uses another Dragon Dance, Blissey switches out for Absol. If Absol uses Punishment, how many power-ups are counted? 4? 2?
 
I was wondering whether it was possible to quickly check the IV's of newly hatched pokes by challenging the battle tower with them (with the cost of ruining your battle record)?
