correct.
It is not really as simple as that. However, once your deviation gets below 50-ish, and you are still a long way away from the rating, you want to consider starting again. If, however, you are only say 10 or 20 points away, it shouldn't be too hard to get those last few.
As a general rule, if you are dead serious about qualifying, simply follow the rules in reachzero's thread. I cannot emphasize enough testing things out on an alt until you have a team that not only do you know is good, but you also have confidence in, and experience with. If you have those two things, reaching the requirements should be easy.
No. Mew would still be Uber status even if you used it with Splash.
No; you'll have to pick up the Shaymin from the man in the Pokemart before you'll be able to do anything with Regigigas.
darn, well ok ill start SR then ill get regi later. thanks
What is the best EV spread for this Rotom-h?
Rotom-h@Leftovers
-Will-O-Wisp
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball
-Light Screen
I have been using the EV spread Bold 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 6 SDef, because it allows Rotom-h to better take the Physical hits it most often takes (e.g. Scizor's U-Turn), and Light Screen makes Special hits less of a worry.

You shouldn't ask for single pokemon moveset. Try to post your team in the RMT section. Anyway, it's suggested to use at least 88 speed evs to outspeed max speed adamant scizor.
This is a question concerning rain dance teams.
If been trying to plan out a team and I thought of an interesting idea.
How does Breloom do on a rain dance team?
The set i'm thinking of is
Breloom
Item: Life Orb
Ability:poisen Heal
Nature: adamant
48HP/252 Atk/208 Spe
-Swords Dance
-Mach Punch
-Seedbomb
-Spore
~I think breloom could do some real damage when supported by a rain dance team because he fits a couple niches.
*Unlike most rain dance members he benifits from toxic spikes.
*He scares of Abomasnow, Tryanitar, Vaporeon, Swampert, and Empoleon, Blissey, and others that could otherwise stall the team.
So whats the vedict? Is he worth the effort?

How can the other two counter empoleon? Cause thats what i thought was the best part of using breloom over the other 2.
What are the EVs, and nature for typical Lead Mamoswine?
I don't think there's a "typical" Mamoswine lead, but I suppose you should use adamant\jolly with 252atk\252spd.
Yes, you're right.
Are these IV's any good for a defensive heat wave/thunder bolt/thunder wave/roost Zapdos?
Zapdos
Relaxed
8 - 9 / 12 - 13 / 26 - 27 / 30 - 31 / 12 - 13 / 10 - 13
Zapdos
Relaxed
8 - 9 / 12 - 13 / 26 - 27 / 30 - 31 / 12 - 13 / 10 - 13
No. HP/SDef is too low, and I don't think you'd want Relaxed/super low speed either.
