I posted this question in the BT thread but have not yet gotten any answers, so I thought that maybe this place would be appropriate.

In the Battle Tower, when you send out a level 1 Pokémon, will the opponent attack, or have a chance to go with a status move/weather move/something else like that?

Naive Mence
-Brick Break
-Fire Blast
-Draco Meteor
-Roost

Is what I use on Shoddy. Works very well.

Edit: Not too sure on 'Nite. Although I imagine something like DD/Outrage/Earthquake/Fire Blast works.

Anyone wanna suggest movesets for a Naive Salamence and Naughty Dragonite?

The best Dragon I have ever used is a Naught MixNite

-Draco Meteor
-Fire Blast
-Super Power
-Filler/Roost

The last move can go to Thunderbolt if your worried about Bulky Waters but you probably don't wanna stay in on them anyway, you also have access to Ice Beam, and Earthquake but Roost it usually the best option, as you will be switching alot, the item can be either Life Orb, or Choice Scarf.

Mence-176 Atk/80 Spd/252 SAtk

hits 350 Atk, 319 SAtk, and 281 Speed.

Nite-252 Atk/192 Spd/64 SAtk/HP for DD set, or just run one of the standard sets.

192 Spd hits 244 Speed, which beats Tyranitar.

Edit: actually if you could also run 120 Atk/240 Satk/148 Spd to hit 300 Speed while still getting a 2HKO on Bliss with Brick Break with a small drop in SAtk.

What does that speed outrun?

For Nite im thinking:
Dragon Dance
Outrage
Fire Blast
EQ

with Life Orb and no SpAtt you OHKO Skarmy and 2HKO Bronzong with 252 HP and no SpDef. Max Attack and I'll figure out a good speed for it to hit, rest in HP?
 
300 beats neutral base 100s, like other Salamences, Flygons, as well as all Rotom appliance forms even with a boosting nature.
 
Alright so I just found out that on Pokemon XD (not the smiley) that you can indeed capture a Pokemon (Beedrill) on there with both Endeavor and fairly close stats to Zapdos at level 50. If Beedrill has perfect HP and Spe stats I could just give it 188 EVs in both HP and Spe and both will be 1-2 Stats behind Timid / Naive / Hasty / (hopefully not) Jolly XD Level 50 Zapdos's HP and Spe, so I could pull off both the Endeavor and Speed trick for XD Zapdos.

Beedrill: 164 HP, 130 Spe
Zapdos: 165 HP, 132 Spe

1) Would this be a good idea or the chances of me getting a useful Zapdos are slim despite having at least 31 HP and 28+ Spe?

2) Is there an easy way to go around training my Beedrill or would I have to somehow EV it along the way?

3) I understand in FireRed / LeafGreen there is something about the badge speed boost, is there anything like that in Pokemon XD?

4) Does Zapdos have any recoil Shadow Moves such as how the dogs have them in Colosseum?

Sorry for all the questions, but thanks in advanced.
 
I'm getting ready to train two Pichus. One will be a Mixed Sweeper Pikachu(from the analysis) and I want the other to be a Mixed Sweeper Raichu.

Should I just use the same set/EV spread that's from teh Mixed Pikachu and put it on Raichu?
 
That looks good, I'll go with that one thanks alot =)

For Nite Im thinking:
16 HP, 252 Attack, 240 Speed

Speed will outrun Weavile and company after 1 DD, seems good to me.

Be wary though as Weavile could still Ice Shard you.

Edit: Jolly unboosted 252 Weavile against 16 HP Dragonite: 81.65% - 96.02%
 
Thats true, I always forget about Ice Shard on Weavile since I never use it..maybe I should drop the speed down to whatevers next on the speed tier?

Is there a list of IV combinations for Hidden Powers and Natures of Legendaries?

Come on, I need an answer.

Why should we give you a legal nature + IV Combination so that you can hack a pokemon?

If it's to make a combo on shoddy then just play around with the numbers, not hard to do.
