Not sure if this qualifies simple question(s)...
Say in this situation:
Opponent: Claydol SPD: 250, Swarmpert SPD: 100
Me: Azumarill SPD: 80, Vaporeon SPD: 150
Zoom lens is attached to Vaporeon.
1.
Azumarill used Aqua-Jet, strike first.
Claydol used Rock Slide, Hit Both Azumarill & Vaporeon
Vaporeon used Muddy Water <- Will Muddy Water accuracy be boosted by Zoom lens?
Swarmpert used EarthQuake.
2. Consider this Situation again:
Azumarill used Aqua-Jet, strike first.
Claydol used Psychic, Hit Azumarill
Vaporeon used Muddy Water <- Will Muddy Water accuracy be boosted by Zoom lens?
Swarmpert used EarthQuake.
3. Now consider Swarmpert is Jolly Nature, have a speed of 200.
Azumarill used Aqua-Jet, strike first.
Claydol used Psychic, Hit Azumarill
Swarmpert used HammerArm, hit Azumarilll
Vaporeon used Muddy Water <- Will Muddy Water accuracy be boosted by Zoom lens?

My Milotic`s spread normally has evs of 252 HP/168 Defense/ 88 Special Attack with a modest nature, but this was assuming its ivs were 31/31/31/30/31/31.... My Milotic has ivs of 30/x/30/31/31/30, which still give it Hidden Power Electric... Anyway, I realize that if I move a point from special attack into defense, it`ll have its normal stats, EXCEPT for 1 point less in speed... Is 252 HP/172 Defense/84 Special Attack the most appropriate way to adjust the spread?
According to Smogon, Accuracy is boosted if the holder moves after the target, regardless of who hits who.
With Muddy Water hitting two targets, I'm not sure what will happen. In case 3, surely there is the boost. In cases 1 and 2, my guess is that the accuracy boost will apply to the hit on Claydol, but not the hit on Swampert.

Thanks for sharing your views.
That's what is in my mind also.
For case 1 & 2 I have the following possibility in mind:
A: Claydol get boosted Muddy Water while Swarmpert does not.
B: Both get boosted Muddy Water as one of the target moved.
C: Both will not get boosted Muddy Water as not all target had moved.
Anyone had researched on this? :P
i have yet to find a topic on this, i am unsure if maybe i missed it... or if nobody has thought of it.
Why do bird pokemon get Heat Wave. There has to be a logical explenation...? Is there something about birds i do not know, or did gamefreak just decide to throw birds a bone and give them all a strong fire move?

Birds can flap their wings fast enough to create enough heat to make a wave.
Is the missing point on speed negligible on my Life Orb Tank?
speed is negligible on all nonroaring tanks in general so yes, it is negligible.
As you're talking about a pre-HGSS game whose RNG has not been cracked yet, the only thing you can do is to use parents with perfect IVs in those stats. (Both parents perfect is the best case, but getting one, two, or three of the (2 stats x 2 parents) right is going to help, although not as much.)
Okay so I'll just have to find a ditto with perfect HP/SDef IVs and a Chasney with perfect HP/SDef IVs then breed them intil I get a Chansey with perfect HP and SDef IVs?
Since that seems like a huge pain in the butt I'll just stick to perfect HP IVs.
So how can I get a ditto with perfect HP IVs?
better not, you become a setup bait at best since you cant change moves.
I can't think of a use for it; if you want to take something down with it, Explosion is usually better for that kind of thing.
Is there a place where I can get up-to-date statistics on the metagames?
^yes, there is a thread on this board called Shoddy Server Statistics. http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70957
If I use a priority move before fakeout, I won't flinch right? Say I am using mach punch infernape against ludicolo for example. I move first and attack it. Will the fakeout still flinch or attack?

Can you use Fake Out after switching in?
Also, how does one reduce Life Orb recoil?

Are there any situations where Ice Beam should be used over Blizzard in Hail? If I use mono-attacking Jynx, I fear Blizzard running out of PP and ruining my sweep...same for Articuno...
Also, could Gengar be an effective lead?
If I use TrickScarf Froslass, should Destiny Bond be used?

@avd, I'm pretty sure it only hits one of the opponents, unless the move is supposed to effect everyone, ie. Teeter Dance, or surf.
