From what I have thought up myself, you can put up like, a level 40 Bidoof onto the GTS. Since most people won't level their Bidoof to level 40, it'll be easy to find, unlike in the mass of lower level Bidoofs. Ask for the Pokemon you want from your other game, then go on your other game and trade him over. It's best if you ask for a high-level Poke or a legendary, as people probably won't trade a level 100 or a legendary for a Bidoof.
What the guy above said, but I advise using a friend's DS to avoid the risk of losing valuable pokemon.
From the analysis:
Magnezone @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magnet Pull
Nature: Naive
EVs: 4 Atk/252 SpAtk/252 Spe
Thunderbolt
Hidden Power Fire/Ice
Flash Cannon
Explosion
Hidden Power Fire can OHKO Scizor as well as Lucario after it's used Close Combat. Hidden Power Ice is mainly for Salamence since you outspeed neutral natured ones. Flash Cannon is for secondary STAB and is your best attack against Tyranitar and Gliscor. Explosion is for killing something like Blissey or Latias if Magnezone is low on health or no longer needed.
Edit:
Ice and Ground is only resisted by Bronzong and Shedinja so add Fire and you're set. Rock and Ground is only resisted by Breloom, Torterra, Flygon, and Claydol. Steel and Ground I isn't resisted by much. Water and Normal is only resisted by Empoleon, Dialga, and Shedinja. Ice and Fighting is pretty good, too.
Which of the Platinum events are sharable and what does it mean if it is sharable?
As far as I can remember, the only shareable event is the Secret Key, which unlocks the Rotom Formes. By shareable, you can share the Wondercard - only 4 times wirelessly (Not Wi-Fi).
fighting+ice+electric+ground is mixvire which supereffects 13/17 types
I don't see why not. It's the same Battle Tower and you can battle between DPPt and HGSS anyway. Why don't you just try it.
Hi, I have a couple of questions.
1. Is there any way to clone without using an AR or similar program?
1a. If yes, then will cloned pokemon from, say, your average Smogon trade thread show up on the hack check they perform at VGC?
2. Is there a thread with syncroizers up for trade/rent?
3.When a pokemon gets 'recovered' from pokerus and has the little yellow-and-red icon, does it still benefit from the 'rus?
ONE MORE:
4. Can the Event Shiny Pichu unlock the notch-eared pikachu event more than once, like on multiple games?

Dragon/Fighting is 100% neutral coverage also (Ghost/Steel theoretically resists it, but that only matters on the CAP server). Not much can really use that combo, though. Specs Luke can run Aura Sphere/Dragon Pulse to pretty good effect. You could also try a Sub-Punch Dragonite maybe.
Answers in bold, I don't know the answer to number 2.
water-normal also has the same coverage. On that note, fighting ice has perfect coverage except for slowbro/king, shedinja, tentacruel, and froslass ( I think)
Fighting Ice is also "walled" by Surskit but you should kill it anyway as long as you're not Shuckle.
Edit:
You could try here.
Can I propose we mention that the Simple Requests thread in Wi-Fi is for evolution requests/simple Pokemon requests along with the part about using it to determine your SID? I've linked about 5 people to that thread already this week for those kind of questions.
I'm pretty sure that this has been asked already, but...
...where can I get access to a UU Server?
...where can I get access to a UU Server?
Do you mean on Shoddy? All you have to do is go to Smogon University, click on the Find tab, click on the drop down arrow that says Standard, and click on Underused.
Use this for figuring out which would be the best overall or if you want to maximize physical/special bulk. I think most sets make it so you can survive something specific so you could try running some damage calcs.
With the advent of the power items, which method is best for trying to get a pokemon with two perfect IVs or with a perfect IV and a great secondary IV, while having the appropriate nature:
1. Breed two parents with the desired IV while each holds a power item
2. Breed a father w/ the desired IV while holding a power item while a female with the desired nature carries an everstone.
Both methods work but which would you say is fastest?
