Okay:

Standard Lead Jirachi. (Iron head, SR, Trick, U-turn)
New Mixmence (EQ, Fire Blast, Draco Meteor, Outrage)
CB Mamoswine (EQ, SE, Ice shard, SuperPower
Defensive CM Suicune (Surf, CM, Sub, Ice Beam)
Choice Scarf Magnezone (T-bolt, Explosion, Flash Cannon, Signal beam/HP fire)

EDIT: You were probably just unlucky.
 
I want to re-ev train a poke I got in a trade. Problem is, it's L50 and doesn't have very much room for XP before 51, and it's for VGC next year! Luckily, I just want to switch it's HP EVs to SAtk. Also, it has (cured) pokerus and I have the necissary exp items and I know where to find the lowest level SAtk boosters in the game.

1)Could I wipe it's HP and then use vitamins for the 1st 100 in SAtk? It has 0 EVs in SAtk.
2)What would be the best way for it gain the least exp from it's training? I know that switching it out with 1 poke would reduce the exp, but What about switching through all 6? Would that help? And what if I put exp shares on ALL the other pokes?

Sorry, I couldn't find a guide on how EXP is split up when battling. :(

Thanks in advance!

[edit]sweet! psypokes says if you use six you get 1/6th! That's perfect! :D

1: Yes
2: Switching with 6 would work, as well as having EXP shares on them all. If possible, make sure that the Poke that needs EV-ing does not see battle, as it will get a very low amount of points then.

1)Yes you can.
2)Well, if you have 5 exp shares, then that would help. Make the rest of them all hold exp shares. Then switch them all around in the battle. This drastically reduces EXP.

How effective might a team like this be: 5 exploders (Can't have six due to Self-KO clause) who are powerful to kill everything but Ghosts and resists, each with their own way of dealing with Ghosts and Resists, followed by a late game sweeper (eg Lucario). Of course, good prediction is required, but how does idea sound??

Not sure yet, a few ideas sprung up, like Heatran, Azelf, Lickylicky, ones with high Attack or like Lickylicky, gets STAB on Explosion or Selfdestruct.

I am suggesting LO Latias (Draco Meteor, Surf, Dragon Pulse, Recover)
It gives you another Fire resist which will help
 
Say If I'm trying to Sr a dragonite on XD.I have picked up the item that tells you what shadow pokemon there are. Does this set the nature/IVs?

Currently? I'd go Adamant Scarf, as Yanmega is a huge threat and Speed is nice to have.

Wouldn't it be rather risky to get Scarf Hitmonlee in on Yanmega? Once Yanmega is in, I can switch Hitmonlee in while the Yanmega Protects. Scarf Adamant Hitmonlee will outrun Yanmega with 1+ Speed Boost, but if Yanmega Protects again and is able to get another Speed Boost, Hitmonlee must switch out or will die to Air Slash.

Beyond Yanmega though, is there any other reason to run a Scarf Adamant Hitmonlee over Band Adamant Hitmonlee?

This is a stupid question but I need to know. If get hacked flawless dittos and breed with them will the nintendo VGC hack checker catch that the game or party were hacked?

I really need this answered. A guess would be better than nothing.

If you hack them perfectly with all the hidden values and correct PIDs and stuff, it might be okay. However I have heard that external devices can trigger certain "flags" that could be caught reguardless.

To be safe and If you have 2 games, you could hack the dittos in 1 of the games, breed there, and trade your breeded pokes to the 2nd game and use it in the VGC.

I'll second this. To make sure you believe it ;)
I used to run that set anytime. It's awesome and rips apart certain teams. (Where teh dreaded spiritomb doesn't exist yet)
