First find a male Machamp/Machoke/Machop that already has dynamic punch and bullet punch and ice punch, breed it with a ditto or female machop/machoke/machamp and the egg will have those moves when it hatches

this doesn't really answer the question, because how does he get a machop with those moves in the first place? :P

the answer is to breed a female machop family member with a male hitmonchan that knows bullet punch (level 16) and ice punch (level 31). the babies will have both moves. then you level up a male and female until they both know dynamicpunch, and breed those two. (otherwise, i'm pretty sure males can't pass dynamicpunch since it isn't specifically an egg move or tm or anything)
 
Thanks a ton!

One last question, what is the best way to hatch eggs? I'm usually trying to get 2 perfect IVs and the rest of the IVs can be decent. I always have at least one parent with the perfect IVs I want. I also have a pokemon with Mamga Armor.

I'm just trying to figure out which one is best, storing all my eggs in the PC and hatching them all at once, or hatching one at a time and getting the new one when I have room, or saving before the dude and hatching it to see if it has the gender, nature, and effect I want, then restarting until I have the IVs I want, or some other method? :)
 
I'm trying to get how destiny bond works. It has no priority, so if you move first and get ko'd it will ko the opponent, or if you move second and set up destiny bond as long as they attack first they will still get ko'd. does it work through focus sashes?

Destiny bond works this way: if you are killed by a move used directly after Destiny Bond your opponent dies as well. So if you move first and got killed your opponent dies too. If you move second and your opponent moves first the following turn and kills you he dies as well. It does work through Focus Sash.
 
If I use non-Trick Scarf Darkrai, should Dark Pulse/Ice Beam/Thunder/Dark Void be used?
Do Ghost-type move generally give good coverage?

Also, can Nightmare be used on Gengar?
 
this is truly a great thread and i have yet another question, a strategy question.

what is the best way to beat a typical rainstorm team? like what are some pokes/moves that are especially adept to beating rainstorm teams?

Changing the weather in your favor always help. A Tyranitar or other Pokemon with Sandstream can help accomplish this. Rain Dance teams rely on rain, obviously, but also the Swift Swim ability.

Hi, I'm making an OU stall team that tries to utilize mostly BL-UU Pokemon... What are two pokemon that would best fit the last two slots on this team?

Jumpluff
Cresselia
Blissey
Milotic

I would say Skarmory and a Stealth Rocker, since you seem to be entry hazard-less (kind of hard to run a stall team without residual damage).

Punishment works based on the number of stages, so something like Swagger, Calm Mind, or Agility would boost Punishment's power to 100. This is true even if the boosts are Baton Passed.

Thanks! So I guess this leads me to my next question...

Would it be worth it swapping Night Slash for Punishment on Weavile sets and possibly including Swagger on it? or is just Punishment fine... I'm thinking Weavile could be more anti-BP in general with Punishment..
 
Breeding..

I'm thinking of making a UU team, and i'm wondering how I can teach a delibird ice punch, ice shard and rapid spin (obviously through breeding). I know he can learn these moves, but what is the process?
 
I've ask this question many times before and I just keep forgetting xD. Is scope lens under the hax item list if the hax item clause is in effect? Also is the hax item clause standard?
