Use the rich text editor to copy. On the right of the box in which you type your posts, you might see an icon like:
Make sure it's selected. If that doesn't work, edit your options, scroll to the end, and modify your 'Message Editor Interface' setting to Enhanced Interface (WYSIWYG). That should change future post boxes to rich text editing.

Okay, so is it certain that I should breed some more to get atleast 30 in speed or will either of these two suffice?
1 27/9/29/31/3/30
2 31/5/17/31/31/26
And if I put number 2 in the day care with a power item, will she be able to past the other good stuff as well or just that specific stat?

Better IVs are always better, that goes for your whole team. I would say #2 is better, but keep going. And for your Porygon-Z, I would advise switching Psychic out for Dark Pulse or Shadow Ball, which will solve your Shedinja problem
I think I am content and finished breeding at this point, no shame in having one a little off. Is 12 HP better than 20 SpD?
In general, bulk is made up of your HP multiplied by your Defense and Special Defense respectively. So if you're looking for a wall, high HP can be very important, possibly more important than some Defense or Special Defense. It's up to you though
Bump question.
It doesn't matter if Defense is even or odd. Higher number is always better. HP can be left on multiples of 16 to maximize leftovers recovery, and 1 more than a multiple of 4 to allow a SR weak Pokemon to switch in one more time. It depends on what you're looking to do with the Pokemon.
Okay thanks.
I'm officially at the end of my rope with this. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
In the daycare, I have a Ditto and a Bronzor. Obviously both pokemon are genderless. Well, over the past 10-15 batches of pokemon I've bred, none have obeyed "the rules" as far as power items or the everstone. I thought if both pokemon held a power item, two IVs were guaranteed to be inherited to the children? In every child pokemon I checked, only ONE of the two chosen IVs were inherited, not both. For example:
Bronzor w/ Power HP item
+
Ditto w/ Power Speed item
That couple makes children with either the HP IV from the bronzor OR the Speed IV of the Ditto, but not both.
Additionally, I tried on different occasions giving the bronzor or the ditto an everstone. In both cases, no children had the natures of their parents?
I got the Ditto from the GTS... maybe it was "hacked" or something?

What EV spread do people use on that Lead Machamp @ Lum with Dpunch/Ice Punch/Payback/Bullet Punch?
Are you using this team in OU? o.O Anyway, yes, if Miltank uses Heal Bell Breloom loses its poison. Toxic Orb activates upon switching in.
Well technically 3 can. When an egg is created, it inherets 3 of its parents IVs (randomly chosen). The power items override the "random" part, and just pass down that IV. Sorry I do not know what going wrong but I swear i read something about the mechanic being different with genderless pokemon...try with a ditto and a non-genderless pokemon and see what happens!
An example will try to make the IV inheritance more clear.
* Assume that the mother holds a Power Bracer and the father holds a Power Weight.
* Since both parents hold a "Power item", one of them is chosen. Assume the game chooses the father. The baby inherits the father's HP IV, since the father holds Power Weight.
* The game now chooses a random stat other than HP (since it was already inherited) and a random parent. Assume that the mother's Speed is chosen. The baby inherits the mother's Speed IV.
* The game now chooses a random stat other than HP or Speed (since they were already inherited) and a random parent. Assume that the father's Attack is chosen. The baby inherits the father's Attack IV.
The mechanic does not change if one of the parents is a Ditto.
Kabuto Mushi:
According to research I recently made, the so-called "Masuda method" will change the final egg's personality ID (and therefore possibly also its nature) if it doesn't result in a shiny egg and the two parents come from different language versions. This happens because the egg's initial personality ID is generated as soon as the egg is "ready" (not when it's received). Everstone's effect also happens at that time. The "Masuda method", however, occurs only after the egg is received. Thus, the final egg's personality ID may correspond to a different nature than is otherwise the case. Pokemon that come from the GTS are highly likely to come from different language versions.

Many thanks poccil, that clears up some things for me. :)
Edit: I'm pretty sure you are on the money as far as the "Masuda method" thing. In the time it took you to respond to my question, I bred about 10 more Bronzor... one of them was my first ever shiny. I hadn't even realized the Ditto I had obtained was from another region!

@ Shurokun: Power items do not give 4 EVs regardless of opponent, thay give four extra EVs on top of what would normally be gained, and this can be further increased by Pokerus.
I'm making an UU Sunny Day team and it seems that Shoddy doesn't give Morning Sun to Arcanine. Am I missing something?
Ok... Can I use Iv Checker, Fast Hatch and Fast Egg all at the same time in HG with the AR?
Hi, I recently found my Action Replay back and tried to install it. The installation worked fine but when I connect the Action Replay to the computer for installation, it doens't regonize the disk anymore. Its a Vista btw. Anyone got a solution? Didn't found anything on Google :o
So I tried it on the other computer (who hasn't Vista) and the installation worked fine and the computer also regonizes the AR while plugged in. But then I found another problem; there is no "add cheat"-function. I tried to update the software but it says there isn't any update. Does someone know what I got to do? :o
Thanks for your time :)

@ TobiaS - yes
@ tst293 - manually download Datel's AR Code Manager software. You can google it.
Plug in your AR, click the Mouse button, and open the Code Manager. your AR codes should be listed on the left.
To add a new cheat just drag a game from the bottom right box to the left column. it should update itself then.
