Can someone help me come up with a good mixed Salamence set with a Naive nature? I don't have access to Dragon Dance, and I don't want the restrictions of a Choice item. Thanks!

I would go with:
-outrage
-earthquake
-fire blast
-draco meteor
EV: 80 atk 252 sp.atk 176 spd
item: life orb

With these evs you'll always 2hko blissey (even the bold max hp\max def one) and will outspeed positive base 90 speed. 252 special attack is to give max power to draco meteor\fire blast. Earthquake is for heatran that, otherwise completely walls you.
 
A good spiritomb would be one with both rest and sleep talk, but one with Pain Split won't be bad either. It usually depends on your use of it. Just make sure you don't go with both rest and pain split. Having two recovery moves on the same pokemon isn't generally a good idea.

I posted this earlier, but I think nobody noticed. Does anybody know what happens when you skill swap someon who has been Gastro Acided?

The Pokemon switch abilities as usual. Gastro Acid simply negates the effects of a Pokemon's ability for their duration on the field.

Haku: If you have a separate GBA for playing Emerald, you could always use the Stopwatch Poketech application in Pokemon D/P lol.
 
This may be a stupid question, but I'm wondering if Gardevoir can work in standard play without Psychic. See, what happened was on my 2v2 Skill Swap team I forgot she learned Hypnosis so I wanted it in my moveset which is, at the moment, Skill Swap/Psychic/Shadow Ball/Thunderbolt. Thing is, I don't wanna drop Thunderbolt because Skill Swapping Motor Drive around is a central part of my strategy, and I don't want to drop Shadow Ball as I don't have any other good moves to hit opposing Psychics such as Espeon, Azelf, and Latias on my team. Plus, I have Jirachi for STAB Psychic. However, I'm not sure how much losing STAB Psychic would hurt Gardevoir--is there some pokemon is particular which I would really need it for that I'm screwed without it?
 
What's the use of a "Druidcruel"? According to Tangerine's thread, Druidcruels are Tentacruel with Sword Dance, Substitute, Surf and Sludge Bomb... Why SD with 2 special attacks?

I haven't seen the post you're talking about, but if it was from the ADV generation or earlier, it was because all Poison attacks used to be Physical. The Special/Physical typing of individual attacks was not introduced until the DS games.
 
2 questions here...

1) Which Pokemon in the analysis has the most movesets with how many?

2) As Caelum said:
(and may occur at random times due to certain OU Pokemon dropping in usage and becoming BL).

Does this mean that if Donphan ever drops to 51 (since he's always 50), will he become auto-BL?

OU is not a set 50 pokemon, it is every pokemon that you would expect to in at least one in 20 battles

No. OU is defined as Pokemon that appear at least once in every twenty battles, not the 50 most used Pokemon. Whether or not a Pokemon meets that requirement depends on the total number of battles and how many times it was used in those battles; if it comes out to 1/20 or over, it's OU, whereas if it's below that line, it's BL/UU. So, depending on the number of battles and how much percent of those battles Donphan was used, it could win up as #51 most used and stay OU, or #49 and go down to BL/UU.

And if Donphan's usage slips enough during a three-month period that it's no longer OU when the OU list is done, then it will be moved down to UU, since it has not been tested there yet. If it's found to be broken, then it will be put into BL; if not it will stay UU. When the tier lists are redone, if it's usage goes back up enough to make it OU again, it will be thrown back in OU again. Then, if it's usage takes another dive, it will either be thrown back into UU or BL, depending on what the results are when it was tested (it wouldn't be retested; it would simply go back into the tier where the results of the test showed in belonged).
 
Naxte is dead on the money (and gets the Chris is me award for awesomeness)

Arceus's analysis is the longest, I think.
 
If I was to build a Fighting type mono team (I can use two pokemon that arent fighting type, as long as one has a fighting move) and the rules are these:
Level 100
Double Battle
No Legendaries

what advice would be given towards the two pokemon I should add?
