Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

If you have Wi-Fi, there's a trick you can do, and you don't need any help with it. Deposit Haunter on the GTS, asking for something impossible to get, like an Empoleon below level 9, so no one takes it. Browse the GTS's offers and trade for something, anything, then go back and withdraw Haunter. It will evolve to Gengar on the spot... somehow you'll have tricked the game into thinking Haunter was traded to you instead of just being withdrawn.
I've done this a few times on Diamond, but have yet to test it on Platinum. It should still work.
Senzairu:
It's from Marriland. To be precise, here.
That's awesome! Thanks Aquamentus!
Sometimes, berries are able to be picked but the ground still shows up like it's drying out. If I water it and come back later, will there be more berries?

Wailord gets 2HKOed by LO Adamant 252Atk Lucario's CC even with Bold 252Def; on the other hand, so does Milotic. Is this why walls aren't effective anymore? And if so, would I better max SpA?
Well if you're facing Lucario then you must be talking about OU, correct? If so, then why don't you use a better wall than Wailord or Milotic? I believe Suicune is a good OU water wall, it also comes with the ability to set up and sweep (Crocune).
For Marowak, I'd suggest 252 in Defense and 4 in HP. Becomes a very nice physical tank, considering his 110 base defense.
Gallade is pretty much the same thing, 252 into Sp.D and 4 in HP. Like Marowak, he becomes a special tank from his Base 115 Sp.D.
You could always put more into HP if that's what you want. 128/128 would work fine on both of them. Maybe a few HP/Def EVs for Gallade because he's got a pretty pathetic 65 base defense.

Also if you are looking to use the Life Orb Set for Gallade, 252HP EVS will set it at 340 HP, which is divisible by four, so it'll probably be best to remove 12EVs from HP and put them into DEF, so you have a nice recoil number at 337HP. So 240HP and 16DEF is probably the way to go.
So how should one go about getting lots of Rain Dances in Platinum, then?
From the Breeding Guide:
''The IVs for the baby are first created at random. Then, a random IV from either parent is inherited to the baby. Then, any random IV except an HP IV is selected from either parent and is passed to the baby. Finally, any random IV except an HP or Defense IV is selected from either parent and passed to the baby. These three random IVs may overlap, that is, the same random IV can be chosen to be inherited in the second, or third, IV transfer.''

Can someone explain the Action Replay to me a little? The official page says that old versions just require an update to work with Platinum, but only a few codes are listed.
I'm not asking for codes, I just want to know that they are out there and they work; such as fast hatch, determine your secret ID, etc.
-and are Pokemon that haven't been fast hatched considered generally more valuable on Smogon than those that have been?

Ask for them in the Simple requests forums in the wifi section. People have lots of them. Unless you have Diamond or Pearl too.
Probably a tad late :/
sorry dan, the only way to get a shiny is to either a. hack, b. get it fairly (which through breeding gives you no greater chance of getting a shiny) or c. rng abuse. Im not an expert on this, but if you go to the articles here on smogon there are lots of stuff about your secret id and the rng for dpp. RNG is random number generator, by the way.
RNG abuse is the easiest way IMO.
UnSTABed Draco Meteor sucks. Just use Stealth Rock or another move, and let another Pokemon deal with dragons.
The rain teams has tons of other dragon coverage, so maybe you're right, thanks. :)
