Could this be Taunted easily? I really like this set as a toxic-staller because it reminds me of Wish-Bliss...
Can Counter be taunted?
Unless you want in your sig, you can PM it to yourself and link to the 'view X PM'
Or you could PM it to yourself, view it, take a screenshot of it, upload it to imageshack or photobucket, then have a link to the pic in your sig...
@Cypher Admin, I do not think Counter can be Taunted. The set looks annoying, I just might try and breed one...
And can anybody answer my question?
I'm not sure ... I would experiment, but an Electivire, because of motor drive, or a Torterra, because of his duel typing, could join that team. I would recommend experimenting though.
I think you should use Fire Fang on it because it works with DD and after one DD it would most likely be stronger than Fire Blast on most opponents.
I would advise for a bold natured one since most attacks are physical but if you're worried about special sweepers then go for calm.
Counter can't be taunted, but it won't do damage unless your opponent attacks, which most won't, but instead use your turns to switch or start seting up. Counter could also be messed up if its special ability activates and they become infatuated.
So does that mean I should use Seismic Toss? The best case situation is that they do hit me, I counter, and they become infatuated. If they switch, I can use Wish and Protect to heal and later stall them out after poisoning them.
No, just make sure to switch it out if something taunts you, or a special attacker comes by, also maybe not use counter if you've infatuated your opponent unless you think you're going to win that 50/50 coin toss. I'd go with Seismic Toss, although I think a Blissey would work better for that. It's a good idea, and I can see it happening, but let's just hope it knockes out the opponent instead of infatuating it.
Is there a set on Smogon where a neutral nature was the suggested nature?
need help :
trying to IV breed, well getting really tired and P*SS**G me off with IV breeding just because its taking to long to get a good Sneasel. i have in the Daycare a smeargle with 31HP / 31Atk / 31Speed in IV's and a Sneasel with 30Atk and 31 Speed. and so far i have not gotten any good Sneasels and im just thinking if its taking this long for 1 good pokemon imagine the other 5. i dunno, i think i might just stop playing pokemon all together. >=[
i need some advice on IV breeding and iv already read all the articles on IN breeding and still its not working.

IV breeding is still going by luck. If I were you I would find other people who have a well IVed pokemon, and if they have extra, like an extra sneasel, to trade it to you for something good.
I hated IV breeding too. I could never get the IVs good enough, perfection, so I just trained like 8 pokemon that had almost 31 IVs in their necessary stats.
Nope, there is a reason everybody says that neutral natures suck.
You have to be switching females until you get one with the 3 stats you want to pass and then keep going for better. If you don't want to keep breeding and start battling right away you might want to try shoddy battle, all the good battlers are there anyway.
Thanks man. One thing I like about the Analysis page is that on all the sets, it practically gives the same EV set-up.
I'll probably use something similar to what you have, except swap out one move for another. Or something. I should focus more on trying to get that better Smoochum.
Thanks again though. =)
Well, the focus of that set is to start with Fake Out to get a few easy diminished hit points. Then depending on whether or not you are faster than the opponent, you either SweetKiss or Counter. If you Counter, the opponent should be OHKO by the damage and then you SweetKiss the switch in and go crazy with IceBeams. If you start with SweetKiss, then you use IceBeam on the switch and then Counter back the damage the next turn.
Whats the criteria for absorbing toxic spikes?
Feed it Pomeg Berries. The first one will reduce the EVs to 100, and every one after that reduces them by 10.
Switching in poison types that don't fly or levitate on any turn after toxic spikes is used =)
For example, a Fortress uses toxic spikes on a Beedrill, the Beedrill uses U-turn, out comes Nidoking and the toxic spikes are absorbed.
Ingame question, is there any better way to earn BattlePoints besides the 3BP you get in the offline battle tower?
And whats a good counter to both Heatran and Dragonite that uses levelup moves only. I dont want to waste my TMs or waste time breeding.

Win three rounds + Battle Tower Tycoon.
Lose the first battle of the next round.
Repeat.
... Focus Sash Mamoswine (Swinub, swarm Pokemon) w/ Ice Shard (Swinub 28), Earthquake (Mamoswine 40)... Um... Ice Fang (Piloswine 28)... And no idea for fourth move.
