Hmmm... Unfortunate, but I suppose Ambipom will have to do then, since I plan on using this in OU. Thanks very much. :)

Another question (chock full of them today, lol): Where does one obtain a U-Turn TM (I think it's TM 86, but I'm not positive) in-game?

I am pretty sure you exchange it via the Game Arcade in Veilstone city.
 
They reduce by 10 each. BUT! If you have over 100 EVs, it will automatically drop you to 100. So if you have 252 EVs, one berry will put you at 100. If you have 101, it'll put to to 100 (not entirely sure on this last example).

It'll take 11 berries tops to reduce to 0.
 
It depends. Much more pokes get Stealth rock, so it isn't hard to fit it into your team, while there are very few viable spikers in the game.
Also, Spikes deals 25% to everything except flyers/levitators, so it is consistent, while SR hits everything, but depends on weakness to rock.
Also, Stealth rock just takes one turn of setup, while spikes takes 3.

Hope this helped.
 
Between spikes and stealth rock, which is considered the better choice (especially since spikes takes a long time to set up)?

It really depends on what kind of team you're building. Stealth rock is easy to setup and is learnt by a lot of pokemons, spikes fits well in a stall team and as Erazor said, a few pokemons learn it.
 
Which Pokemon would be a better lead for setting up Sunny Day in UU, Mesprit or Uxie? (This is for Wi-fi)

Mesprit/ Uxie @ Heat Rock
~Sunny Day
~Stealth Rock
~U-turn
~Ice Beam/ Yawn

Mesprit has access to Ice Beam which would help against Altaria (nothing on my team can really take it that well) whereas Uxie has greater defenses, higher speed and access to Yawn.


Help!
 
Hmm... Any advice on lead pokemon (unorthodox would be better) I am trying to find one that is not weak to Stealth Rock or Ice Moves
 
After I used the EV Wipe berries on a mewtwo I have, I tried to use the Vitamins on it and such and I got the "it won't have any erffect" message, am I doing something wrong?
 
How many berries did you use? If you have over 100 EVs in a stat, a single berry will reduce it to exactly 100. 100 and below, each berry will remove 10 EVs for its respective stat, so you'd need 11 berries max.

I used 2 in every stat, the first always said "X Stat was lowered" and then the second said "X Stat won't go lower"

I only used this mewtwo to beat the E4 in Ruby, so it doesn't have a ton of EVs
 
Just wondering, can I pass down Megahorn from my Rhyperior onto a Rhyhorn? I need it for the Showdown so it has to be under Lv. 50. If anyone knows of this please respond.

Yes, if I recall correctly, when the move is a level-up move and both parents know it, also the baby will have the move as an egg move...
 
Double battles...

Are there any plans to add double battling to shoddy? If so, when roughly are they expected to be finished?

Smogon isn't really the place to ask questions about Shoddy Battle since Smogon isn't formally affiliated with it in anyway (it's open source). Avoid doing that in the future.

To answer your question though, no current Smogon administrators or programmers, mostly Doug who's busy enough as it is, have any intention of programming double battles nor do I know of anyone working on something like that independent of Smogon. But because it's open source, you never know, some random person might submit it to the repository one day lol.
