Does Gyarados have any hope of being a Special Wall? I've seen some Impish sets, but his Base Defense is 79, whereas his base Special Defense is 100. Or possibly even a Mixed Wall?

x4 electric weak makes it nearly impossible for him to function as a good special wall. Mantine has far better special walling stats than Gyarados and is never used for a wall due to that typing.

And to Stefywefy, Deoxys - E is currently allowed in OU, Wobbs was put back into ubers.
 
What moves would make an infernape a good lead, so far I'm using the infernape I had before

infernape@focus sash (used to be expert belt but I think it is more useful for a lead)
Adamant (I know it's not the best for a lead but at least it might take something else down)
252 spd 252 atk( It was obviosly a sweeper before) 6 HP
Close combat
Taunt?(stop other Stealth rock/hypnosis leads)
Stealth rock?(I kind of need it for the team)
Mach punch/Fire punch/Flare blitz?( I know it's redundant to have with focus sash but I've seen it kill gengars so it might be useful)

I know that the nature/EV's aren't the best but I dont want to rebreed unless it's completely necessary. Thanks.

EVs are fine, but Infernape does not have the defences to be setting up rocks. You're better of using him as a late game sweeper...
 
I know his defenses are low but focus sash lets it quickly set up rocks, survive a hit and still be able to hurt the opposition. Taunt might allow it to stop another stealth rock user, at least thats what I think I want but I'm not completely sure on the last attack.
 
On a lead Crobat for doubles which four of these six moves are best: Taunt, Protect, Hypnosis, HP [Ground], Air Slash, U-Turn?

Its paired with a Fake Out CounterSash Infernape.

If I use Destiny Bond, but die because of Sandstorm, will the opposing Pokemon be taken down with me?
Click to expand...

no, in order to use the efect of destiny bond you must die from a direct attack move from your foe´s pokemon, meaning that if you die from sandstorm, poison, etc. you wont take your foe´s poke woth you.

What's the standard EV spread for Starter Spiritomb? (Sucker Punch/Pursuit/WoW/Pain Split)
I would check on the site, but I get internal server error :/
Click to expand...

252 Hp / 140 Atk / 116 SpD

Basically max hp, enough atk to kill azelf with sucker punch, rest in special defense. I use this spiritomb a lot but I seriously use pursuit way more than sucker punch, probably the lack of azelfs on wifi. So from my experience you might want to lower the attack for special defense but if your paranoid about azelf use the 140 atk.
 
UU TR question.

I have a lead hypno which can pass belly drum, what is a better recipient?
camerupt (can switch in on wow, twave) has access to stone edge and EQ.
or banette with more attack then camerupt, priority moves and the capability of setting up TR itself, and of course its typing.
 
Phalanx, that would really depend on the rest of the team. I would guess that camerupt would be a better recipient since it doesn't share a dark weakness with Hypno, but depending on the rest of the team two dark weakness might not be a huge deal.

I'm not the world's greatest UU expert but I would go with Banette because Camerupt would still be scared shitless of anything remotely quick with a water move meaning it may have to switch out and ruin your boost.

Can you use the wireless adapters that came with FireRed/LeafGreen to trade between Emerald and Ruby/Sapphire or do you need to use the cable?
Click to expand...
Yes you can. My cousin and I use it all the time with our Sapphire games.

I doubt he has a legit competitive Blissey with Wish. Thats why I said it, but yes its possible to have Wish and Seismic Toss on Blissey.
