Is this uxie any good for a double screen set or a support set?

Uxie (Relaxed)
HP: 4 - 5
Att: 28 - 29
Def: 26 - 27
SpA: 22 - 23
SpD: 29
Speed: 8 - 9

More Hp?
Needs more HP. Also, Relaxed isn't the best nature for Uxie, since it usually doesn't use one of its offensive stats at all. I suggest you reset.
 
Where do you find the berry that lowers the speed stat (EV's)?
The Tamato Berry. It's one of the berries that the Berry Master hands out randomly (I don't remember the route, but he's in a house in that route just west of Hearthome. Just northwest of the Hearthome gate).

Alright, thanks. A few other questions:

1. If I have a female Jolly Gible and a male Adamant Salamence at the Day Care and equip Everstone to the Gible, then each baby will have 50% chance to be Jolly nature right?

2.The first 4 babies were Modest, Bashful, Mild, and Jolly. I only wanted Jolly Gible so I soft reseted after all 4 eggs were hatches. But this time I didn't take the first 3 eggs knowing, or at least thinking, that they will be Modest, Bashful, and Mild. So I start taking the eggs starting from the 4th one and took 5. But to my surprise the first one is not Jolly but rather Modest. The other 4 were Sassy, Serious, Docile, and Lax. Why is that?

3. Is there any way, involving soft reseting, to manipulate the nature of the eggs so that you can only get the one you wanted?

1: Provided that the parents are from the same region (that is, the Salamence wasn't imported via Pal Park or one of them wasn't traded from a foreign version of D/P/P), then yes.

2: Eggs' natures are set when the eggs are generated. You reset over the Jolly egg, so the game generated another nature for the egg.

3: I THINK there's some trick that involves the Poketch, but it seems seriously complicated. You can find info on that several pages back. There's also Action Replay, but I don't know if you'd want to take that route. You're better off with the Everstone trick.
 
Hm. Haven't posted here in so fucking long. I don't know where i've been, really, but with Platinum out, i'm back. Anyway...

1. Is Counter still only obtainable if said Pokemon learns it by level or egg move and the tutors in FRLGE? (i.e., if I were trying to get a Chansey with Aromatherapy and Counter, i'd have to breed it in one of those games?)

2. I read in the 624 page strategy guide that some legendaries, should you defeat them in battle, will regenerate after you beat the Elite Four and you can battle them again. I want to try this, but I don't feel safe doing it. Is this true?
 
1) A little confused on what you mean, but tutor moves cannot be bred onto new pokemon. I think that answers your question.

2) It is in Platinum. I'm not entirely sure in D/P, though they should still be there if you happen faint.

1: Provided that the Pokemon can learn it by Level up or as an egg move, it can be born with Counter. If it can only learn it through move tutors, you cannot make it hatch knowing it.
2: In Platinum, this apparently is true. I don't have it just yet, but according to Serebii, this is true for the Lake Trio. Also, Giratina reappears at Turnback Cave if you KOed it in the Distortion World. Actually, that's all the legendaries what can be gotten before the Elite 4, isn't it? So I'm guessing yes.
 
Just took forever to catch Giratina, 26 Dusk ball.

I found out Giratina can change form if he held a orb, after beating Elite four, but can he hold another item like leftovers w/ orb on wifi?

No. The only item that Giratina-Origin Forme can hold outside of the Distortion World without hacking is the Gliserous (Platinum) Orb.

And Giritina-O cannot be used at all on Wi-Fi; it will automatically transform back to Giratina-A. Giritina-O can be used on local DS-to-DS wireless battles, though (but the restriction about it only being able to hold the Gliserous Orb still applies).
 
What EV set would one recommend for a Sassy Rotom-Appliance?
Also is this the right place to ask that question?

I was thinking of: 252 Hp / 216 Def / 40 Spatk

Or something. I don't know. =/
 
So, can I run 252Atk/66SpA/192Spe on MixMamo? Scarf is quite common on Heatran these days, so I don't to risk an obvious OHKO by Fire Blast...
 
There's no need to do so. The extra SpAtk EVs aren't doing anything special.
Actually, move SpA EVs enable Mamo to OHKO Rhyperior and Hippopowdon, which usually max or nearly-max Def. They also enable me to 2HKO Skarmory and Weezing regardless of Hail, which is very usable in case Hippo once again appears.
 
Something's been naggling at my brain. Hacked pokemon are forbidden from competitive play, but how about the AR code for 999 Master Balls? Is that acceptable for use? Only reason I ask is it could be useful for getting decent IVs on legendaries.

Also, just to brag, getting Prof Oaks Letter today \o/

Codes used to obtain items like master balls or TMs don't affect the legitimacy of the pokemon and are considered fine by the community.
 
How do I get around the 24-hour time restriction on palparking?

You need at least 2 GBA games. Here's how to do it:
-Migrate normally from one game.
-Set the time forwards one day.
-Put in another game and try to migrate; it will ask you to adjust the game clock. Accept.
-Turn the DS off, and put in the original GBA game. It should let you migrate again.
-Repeat as needed.

Anybody? I want to make Blizzard as powerful as it can be...Mamoswine does need that high-powered STAB move...expecially as Impish Rhyperior isn;t OHKOed by EQ, but is by the extra-EVed Blizzard.
 
How is this Uxie? Should I keep it, or toss it?

HP: 31, ATK: 23-24, DEF: 31, SPA: 26-27, SPD: 16-17, SPE: 9

The 16-17 SpD worries me...
Opinions?

Next time don't forget to specify the nature too. Anyway, the sp.def is too low imo for something supposed to be bulky. I would try to get 25+ in every defensive stat. Oh, there's a specific thread about this kind of questions.
 
So if I hack a Petaya Berry onto my game(which I can't) and use it on Empoleon, it's legal?

Yes, a similar operation doesn't affect in any way the legitimacy of your pokemon as long as you breed it legitimately.

Edit: by the way Erazor, if you need a Petaya Berry, I can trade you one, feel free to PM me.
