I have a Swampert I'm trying to bring to Diamond from Emerald. However, when I got to the Move Deleter to try and forget Surf, the Deleter says it doesn't want to forget it. Why is this?
 
I'm running an odd Uxie set, and I would like opinions on it, if you would be so kind.

The IVs aren't perfect for the most part, so there would be changes on the Uxie were I to battle with it on Shoddy. However, I would still like an opinion on it.

Uxie (Modest) @Leftovers
252 HP/60 Def/130 SpAtk/68 SpDef
IVs: 21-25(can't remember which)/x/31/11-15/29/x
Moveset:
Stealth Rock
Calm Mind
Thunderbolt
Grass Knot

I put an X in where the speed is because I never took speed into account when considering the Uxie. I believe my Uxie has 224 or 226 speed in battle, but I don't remember for sure, and I don't have my DS in front of me at the moment.

Basically, this Uxie is meant as an offensive Stealth Rock set. Before anyone tries to tell me that Mesprit Calm Minds better, I liked the look of Uxie because of its higher defenses. The biggest point of this Uxie is that it makes Starmie, Donphan, and Forretress (three prominent Rapid Spinners) cry (it has a possible 2HKO on Forry after just one Calm Mind with just the IVs I have; if it had perfect SpAtk it would 2HKO guaranteed after just one Calm Mind!). Lucario (a counter mentioned on Uxie's D/P page) has trouble with this set, as a single Calm Mind gives Thunderbolt about half damage to Lucario with Stealth Rock's help if I'm calculating correctly.

The other counters listed still pose a reasonable threat to it, though; this I will not deny. But I really think that an offensive Stealth Rock set is viable. What are your thoughts?

I do that in emerald via the cloning glitch. How do I get 70 something rare candies per pokemon in D/P?

Some people accept this as a job in the wifi forum. I think some do it for free, and some just require one pokemon in return. Or you could just Vs seeker random people and find which ones you find best. I suggest you have a blissey with softboiled, to heal your team.

This would be better in the "Creative movesets" thread. It is somewhere in the Stark Mountain Forum. Personally I would spend all my sp.df evs into df or sp.attack, considering that it will be CMing anyway.
 
This is better suited for the creative movesets/EV spreads thread. This thread is for questions about breeding/DP/competitive battling.

Better yet, post a team with this Uxie of yours in the Rate My Team (RMT) subforum.

Aim for a good HP/Speed, and Attack if possible.
Something like: 31/20ish/20/x/20/31
but not so exact.

Jolly would also be good to aim for.
Edit: Goddamn Jujuomi, stop beating me!!

Yay someone got my name right. I wouldn't suggest 31 hp or speed, since SRing is so incredibly time-consuming, and getting 20+ in the right stats is perfectly useable. Mawile might lose about 2-8% depending on how low its hp would be but it really doesn't matter.
 
so I've went through a few sites and seen conflicting descriptions, but how much exactly does Solid Rock reduce SE hits by? I've seen 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2, im not sure who to believe.

Well, these IVs are for the BP sing set, but Jujuomi's set is good for just a support set.
Edit: sorry for the double post.
 
I see a some people hatch there pokemon eggs on strange places, like Umbreon on Full Moon Island.
It is very cool, but how do they do it. I mean do they hatch every egg on the island?
I don't think so, so there must be a other way.

BTW, the Umbreon I was talking about is from Speedwobbles225 and has very good IV's.
