I see, thank you. ^_^
I managed to capture a level 80 and level 81. I suspect that level 99 and level 100 ones exists (as Xia mentioned), but level 100 would just be sadistic... ^_^;
For honey trees in D/P/Pt, if I save before I encounter the pokemon can I soft reset for the rarer pokes, or is the pokemon already determined by the time the tree starts to shake?
As in, I can IV soft rest for Combee, but it will always be Combee until I faint/capture it?

The Pokemon is already determined. However, you can still reset for nature, gender, IVs, etc.
Yes. Once you save in front of a tree, and get a Combee, even if you reset, it will still be a Combee when you go up to it again.
Right I was just on Shoddy on NU, using my Drifblim with Unburden + Petaya Berry and something wierd happened.
I switched him in to SR when he was at 50%, meaning he went down to 25%, which should activate Petaya + Unburden and grant me a sweep.
For some reason this didn't happen and I was left with a helpless 25% Drifblim. I've looked on the Smogon pages for the berrys and Unburden and neither of them mention that residual damage doesn't activate them.
If residual damage does activate them, why didn't mine activate? And if residual damage does not activate them then surely Smogon's pages on these 2 should be updated as so.
Oh and, he had 440 max hp, meaning he ended up with 110 (which I checked) so it can't be because his Hp is odd.
Cheers :)

Was your opponent Seeded? This is the only explanation of which I can think without it being a glitch in the system.
you're sure it was exactly 50% when you switched in? 1-2 hp etc. can be "less than a percent" i think .. so then you'd be that much "over" 25% (though it would still say 25 after the rocks) and thus not activate the berry? unless it rounds up for the %, but think about how when sash users are killed it says "lost 0% of hp". that's the only idea i have on it.
I switched in, took 25% from SR. = 75%
I then subbed. = 50%
I switched out because I was walled.
Switched back in, SR again. = 25%
No Petaya or Unburden boosts. No prior damage from sandstorm or attacks or whatever.
I wasn't seeded, no. None of mine or the enemy's pokémon had Leech Seed.
It's really confusing me lol.
Edit: Woo after over 18 months I finally hit 100 posts and I use it in the Q&A thread XD

Well the usual pretence of the set is to sub down to exactly 25% to get the maximum health and still activate the berry etc.
I've been playing all night on unrated NU and subbing down to exactly 25% to activate it.
But for some reason, SR didn't activate it.
So the only explanation I can come to is that residual damage doesn't activate it, in which case that info should be put onto the pages for the pinch berries on Smogon.
Edit: I tested this out battling myself and it turns out SR does activate Petaya Berry. It must have just bugged out or something. So don't worry about my questions. Cheers for the help anyway guys.

Yes, you can find level 100 Magikarp there. I faintly recall someone mentioning that they had caught a level 100 shiny magikarp with excellent IVs across the board somewhere, though I cannot verify it (or find it, for that matter).
No. In XD, you need to win a battle to keep anything you snag. If you tried your plan, after your loss the legendary would go back to Greevil.
Not really, unless you have a very specific purpose in mind. You should focus more on SpD to allow you to switch into special sweepers like Starmie and Gengar and bulky waters easier.
No. If you switch-out or U-turn, the effect is lost. You need to use Baton Pass to keep it in effect.
Speaking of Drifblim, is the Unburden boost merely a +2 Speed boost, and as such can be Baton Passed? Because I'm seeing the potential for sweeping my friends with a +2 Speed +2 Special Defense +2 Special Attack Alakazam.
Note: These are the guys that think Stealth Rock sucks, so I want to beat them especially hard. Maybe BellyZard will do the trick? I've never seen how a non-EV trained Pokemon stands against a +6 Stab Blaze Fire Punch.
