If you want to EV train for speed, just Surf around the water near Undella Town. There are tons of Basculin there which give 2 points for Speed.
Also guys, which would be a better nature for Archeops; Jolly or Adamant? Thanks.
Definitely Jolly. Anything base 97 or higher with a +Spe nature beats Adamant, and there's a ton of stuff in the 97-110 range.
No, you must trade for it.
Dream World will be released in the USA March 30th.
Relatively superior never meant 31. It meant an average of ~26+ IIRC for all your stats.
"It's flawless. It couldn't be any better", on the other hand, DOES mean a 31 for that particular stat.
How do I get a Mach Punch + Drain Punch Cokeldurr?
Hitmonchan.
Try Choice Scarf/Choice Band Aerodactyl with Dragon Claw and 3 other attacking moves.
Not really sure, but if you are using a shell smash set then impish is probably a bit of a waste.
Where would one go to learn how to RNG in Black/White? I've seen the resources Smogon has up, but they're for Gen IV and don't apply to Black/White, am I correct? I know nothing about RNGing right now, so I'd have to start from scratch. Does such a learning place exist?
EDIT: Thanks, Showsni!

Catch a Limber Stunfisk and teach it Thunderwave, then head to the top floor of the Celestial Tower. 50% chance to find Elgyem. Thunder Wave any you find; if it has Synchronize, the message will flash up, but Stunfisk's Limber will stop it being paralysed. Catch in a Dusk Ball (at night) without bothering to battle it. There's a nurse a floor down to heal your Stunfisk up when necessary.
Try the wifi forum here; there's a whole thread devoted to 5th Gen RNGing.
Quick question about Tailwind.
In double battles say I have a Whimsicott and Haxorus on the field against naturally faster opponents. If Whimsicott uses Tailwind does the double speed effect come into effect that turn allowing Haxorus to outspeed and Rock Slide the opposing pokes or does it start the following turn meaning I'd have to Protect?
Thanks.

That sounds more like a revenge killer than a counter. The kind of counter I'm thinking of is a safe switch-in. Thanks, though.
Jirachi with Draco Meteor? I dunno. Dragons are such a big deal in the metagame that any good counter is naturally going to be overused.
There is no "counter" for all dragons.
Jirachi/Scizor and Metagross can all soak up a Draco Meteor or Outrage with a Specially defensive EV spread but fall to coverage moves like EQ/Flamethrower or HP Fire.
Would Escavalier be any good? It resists Dragon, seems to have good resistances, and can Knock Off items if the opponent switches out.
EDIT: What I meant in the original question is more that the Pokemon I want should not be on every other team, but it can still be OU if neeed.
Escavalier is largely outclassed by Scizor in most cases. I would recommend Scizor over Esca in pretty much any case
Best way to level up Pokemon from above 70 to 100 in Pokemon Black and White?
Assuming the answer is either Audino or E4; but which would you recommend?
