I have 2 questions regarding the move Guard Swap.
Lets say I had an Alakazam and a Shuckle together in a 2 vs 2 and I gaurd swap, would alakazam then gain defense equal to those of shuckle (including ivs and evs) or is it just boosts (iron defense etc.) as http://www.smogon.com/dp/moves/guard_swap implies.
And if its the first option would then switching out shuckle after the swapping has occured reset it back to normal?

I have this problem that I have stated before but did not explain. So I'm gonna explain it. In my Diamond game I used to use a hacked Ditto and whatever poke to breed. I put an Everstone on one or the other and the 50% chance of that nature worked. I traded that same exact Ditto to my Platinum game. I bred the exact same way in Platinum as I did in Diamond BUT, the 50% chance nature doesn't work! Does anybody know why?
I'm sure the 50% nature chance is still there. (Unless I haven't heard of some change) And I don't think this 50% chance means that if you breed 10 eggs 5 of them will be the same nature as the Everstone-holder. It's a 50% chance per egg so it's possible that you can breed 25 eggs with the wrong natures before that 50% chance shines on you.
Is one of them an imported game? The 50% chance of a nature carrying over with Everstone doesn't work for Pokemon with international parents.
@Dwarfspider: Guard Swap only switches boosts, not actual stats.
About the Everstone issues...
@ xBLUEx: Yeah, I thought I had a similar problem, too--and it was really bad because I was breeding for team members for the VGC the week of! The deal in my case was that, when breeding with a Ditto, you have to give the Everstone to the mother, whether that be the Ditto or a female pokemon. It greatly confused me as well, the deal is: if you breed a male with a Ditto, the Ditto gets the Everstone; if you breed a female with a Ditto, the female gets the Everstone. I was more than confused until someone laid all the cards on the table like that. Hopefully helpful. :-)

@ Streamline: I have been through at least 50 eggs and not one of them is the one of the Everstoned parent.
@ Staraptor Call: None of them is imported.
@ clicker4721: I'm currently breeding Ryhorn. The mother is a Ryhorn and I gave it the Everstone. I did this in the first place which I forgot to mention.

What can safely switch into Moltres in UU? Why isn't Yanmega a suspect yet for UU?
Define "cause a problem." It might not pass hack checks, but it probably wouldn't crash your game.
I have a question though, I'm using an IV check via AR and it changed my Charizard's stats to show the IVs (simple enough), what's the number that comes before the HP IV? It says HP: 178/21. I assume the IV is 21, but what's the 178?
Can a Ditto breed with a clone of itself?
No it can't. Ditto can't breed with other Dittos.
Bulky Offense
A couple things,
Do I post a doubles RMT thread in the RMT section, or in some special doubles section? I read the rules in the RMT section and it seemed that I should post it there, but I didn't find any doubles team postings, is that just because no one plays doubles, or did I have the wrong place?
Also does anyone know of a 31/31/31/x/31/0 or something close Regigigas?
And on the note of dittos, they cannot breed together in the game. They reproduce binary fission, but instead of letting you get it, the day care people sell the dittos to the guy with the trophy garden, where did you think the dittos came from after all.
What happens to the weather, if Sand Stream/Drizzle/Drought/Whatever pokemon is hit with gastro acid?

The ability activates the weather, then does nothing. Gastro Acid won't do anything.
Back to xBLUEx...
Back @ xBLUEx: You say you're giving the mother Rhyhorn the Everstone, but earlier you said that it's the Ditto with the nature you want...There's the confusion. The mother (holding the Everstone) has to have the nature you want. Am I right in this? It seemed a little unclear (then) to me, too.
