Aqua Jet is the most useful one.
What would happen if a pokemon uses Me First but is slower than the opponent? Does the move fail?
Tyranitar (no item) used Thief on Deoxys-e with a Focus Sash as Deoxys tries to Counter. Lets assume Thief would OHKO.
Does Focus Sash activate for only Deoxys, only Deoxys but still gets transferred to Tyranitar (i.e, the Sash got used up), activate for both Deoxys and Tyranitar, or get transferred to Tyranitar while Deoxys faints?
Not that anyone would use Thief. Just want to be sure here.

Where is a fast place to Ev train Specail Defence? I already know about the dustox and the tentacruel, but that's too slow for my liking.
The majority of smogon does not like the EVing code.
Because Smogon was created (and is still used for) making the pokemon community better, using a cheating device is looked upon from the masses as "hacking" or not right so therefor it's a rule to not talk or discuss it here because of that.

I'm farming/phishing for Spiritomb over the GTS to see if I can get lucky and get a cheap somethinganother to breed with.
I got one that's Japanese and it looks like it might have a 31 in Sp. Attack.
But my question is, is that if I breed with this thing, will the IVs get transferred over correctly? I'm going to use a Ditto to transfer over nature. Would that still work correctly, or will I have to breed around a little to get my own 31 Sp. Atk IV Spiritomb and THEN go for nature?

Fight the Magikarp guy at Eterna city with the Power SpD item and after the battle, use the tomato berry twice to get rid of the 12 HPs gained.
Sure it COULD be Legit but do you have any idea the odds? I mean just look at the odds of breeding a 31/31/31/31/31/31 with 2 parrents having the same IV's (perfect all the way down), the odds are already a staggering: 1:59,916 THEN you have that 1:8,192, so your final odds of getting a 31/31/31/31/31/31 SHINY pokemon WITH 2 parrents with 31/31/31/31/31/31 IV's is:
1:490,831,872
Statisticly, it IS impossible. Technically, possible...but the odds are so severely against you I wouldn't believe it to ever be true unless I witnessed it myself (and somehow KNEW there was NO ar involved).

Couple of noob questions for a competitive beginner:
If you use something like swords dance, switch out and then back in at a later time, do you keep the stat change?
If pokemon "a" uses mean look on pokemon "b" but pokemon "a" uses baton pass to bring out pokemon "c", is pokemon "b" still unable to switch out?
Does baton pass give the new poke negative stat changes if the passer had them?
How exactly do things like swords dance and nasty plot effect your stats? If lets say I had an attack of 300 and I used swords dance, how much higher does it get? What about dragon dance?

Stat changes are gone once you switch out.
If the pokemon used Mean Look then Baton Pass then the pokemon "b" can not switch till pokemon "c" is switched or fainted.
Yes Baton Pass passes negative changes as well.
As for Swords Dance, Dragon Dance. etc, here's how they go:
Here are the STAT modifiiers:
-6: .25x
-5: .28x
-4: .33333x
-3: .4x
-2: .5x
-1: .66x
0: NEUTRAL
+1: 1.5x
+2: 2x
+3: 2.5x
+4: 3x
+5: 3.5x
+6: 4x
If it says "sharply raised" then it goes +/- 2, otherwize it's +/- 1.
