Can you poison a poison type pokemon?
No. Poison-types are immune to poison and toxic ailments.

If you counter under a substitute does it send back the damage done to the sub? If so, is it 25% or is it the total damage the sub took?

No. Damage to substitutes cannot be Countered, Mirror Coated, or Metal Bursted. Damage done to a Substitute doesn't count toward damage taken during Bide, either.
 
If holding a Toxic Orb, does the Orb inflict Toxic as soon as the poke is set out, or after the first move is made?
The Toxic Orb poisons the holder after the first move is made. That's why some people use Protect on the first turn when using Toxic Orb Breloom.
 
To be completely accurate, it activates at the end of the round if the Pokémon is on the field and doesn't have a permanent status condition already. So if you were to switch to a Pokémon with a Toxic Orb, the Pokémon gets poisoned at the end of that round. It doesn't have to act to activate the orb.
 
How exactly do I breed for IVs? Just start by breeding any 'ol Pokemon (Or Catching) and check it's IVs in an IV battle, then use it as mother or father and keep breeding?
 
In game, when you check a Pokemon's location in the Pokedex, why do some locations flash blue and some red? I presume it's common/rare or something like that?

All Poke'radar Pokemon, honey tree Pokemon, rare mansion Pokemon, and rare Great Marsh Pokemon locations are highlighted in red.
 
Can a Lucario with an sp attk of 340 2 HKO a Blissy with aurasphere?
340? As far as I know, it's impossible to get close to 340 without a boosting nature, and even then only 339 or 341 is possible.

That said, in that case standard Blissey (148 HP EVs) will survive 2 Aura Spheres more often than not (EDIT: If my math is right, it's not even a 25% chance of KO) if she has Leftovers, but only if Lucario has Choice Specs.
 
battle pyramid

Can anyody please provide a link to a guide of the battle pyramid...i cant find it and what does the scared ash does?
 
I was just playing over Wifi using a Lopunny with Iron Ball and Klutz. It is Jolly, 334 speed.
My opponent is using a Toxicroak (unknown nature), which caps at 295 speed* edit: he has Leftovers attached, even though Sub + Stone edge should tip you off that he's not Scarfing. He gets off Stone Edges and Substitutes on my before I can attack.

Does Iron Ball override Klutz or is my opponent a mean cheatar?
 
Klutz overrides Iron Ball, so Lopunny should go faster. Unless Toxi's Scarfed, if your numbers are true, then it should not attack first.
