By sweeper, do you mean a sustained sweep or a hit-and-run Choice Item user?

Well, then you've got a hard road ahead. Unless you're being passed Speed and maybe some SpAttack, you'll have a hard time. Even then, your Special options are limited to Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Overheat, Shadow Ball, Trump Card, Hyper Beam, and Hidden Power. Oh, and Fire Spin, Ember, and Smog.

If I were you, I'd make a mixed Flareon. Something like:

Flareon @ White Herb
Overheat
Last Resort

Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Lonely
EVs: 252 HP, some Defense to make up for the bad nature, and the rest wherever you feel is best.

I'd always hesitate to eschew a Pokémon's best stat, which is Attack in Flareon's case.

If you switch-in on Fake Out, Rock Slide or Dark Pulse, you won't be flinched because your phase of the turn was switching in your Pokemon, not trying to attack. That means that you must take a turn getting hit by the Pokemon and then hope to be flinched. Like you said, it's very situational.

Sorry I guess my wording was off, I meant fake out and flinch abusers, not switching into fake out. Edits.
 
@ TheMaskedNitpicker- You helped me so I'll return the favor, lol. Yes, the Togepi does have helping hand too. My trade thread has a pretty good one if you want to trade for it.

Edit- One last question. If a Pokemon is cured of Pokerus it still benefits from the doubled EV's, but it can't spread it to other Pokemon, correct?
 
It's true it can't spread it, and I think somewhere someone has already said that it still has the EVs doubled when training.
 
Can anyone tell me if Speed Form Deoxy is Ou or Uber, by smogon forum.

any articles?

Maybe it's time Smogon change the listing of Deoxy Speed form as uber?

Confirmed. The EVs are still doubled, but the Pokémon cannot spread Pokérus. And thanks for the Togepi answer, XxBlueCookiesXx!
 
When are the IVs and Nature decided, when the egg hatches or when it is first produced? What do I have to do to make to be able to SR for my Manaphy egg?
 
Ok, so I have a pair of pokemon that i think could possibly succeed in Battle Tower. But I would like to know of a third that would compliment them.

Modest Latios @ Soul Dew
252 SAtk, 252 Speed (Lv. 100 speed: 315)
Draco Meteor/ Dragon Pulse
Psychic
Thunderbolt
Surf

Adamant Metagross @ Choice Scarf
252 Atk, 252 Speed
Earthquake
Zen Headbutt
Meteor Mash/Bullet Punch
Explosion

And they've got 15-31 IV's all around-ish, to say.

I'm wondering specifically whether i should open with Latios or Metagross, and also whether I should let Metagross die if he's using the "wrong move," or if it is better to switch him into a tank or wall or something.
 
I can't boot up Shoddy, anyone know why? When I click on it, a window comes up and tells me there's an application error. -__-

I have a question. If you encore a pokemon that used baton pass and the pokemon they pass to has baton pass, does the recieving pokemon have to baton pass?
 
R2-D2 Rules! - I've been having the same problem^. Shoddy was working fine for me for a couple of months and then all of a sudden I started getting that error message. I still haven't found a way to fix it.

EDIT: I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it too and that didn't work.
 
While attempting a clone (GTS), I used a Graveler. When I withdrew the Graveler, it evolved. Can you do this normally, or does it only happen while cloning?

What I mean is, if you deposit a Graveler into the GTS, then withdraw it, will it evolve?

Yea, I tried that too, and it said it couldn't uninstall all of Shoddy Battle. Werid.

Edit: Little Green Yoda, yes, your record doesn't save if you don't save after a wif battle.
