A lot of it is experimentation to see what works. If you're a newcomer, it's best to just slap together a team, play a few games, and figure out what isn't working.

With regards to your first question, that sounds a lot like a stall team, winning through residual damage with entry hazards, possibly weather, and a few light hits and status effects.

Your second question is variation of a balance team, seeking to counter what the other team tries to do as you set up an opening for your sweeper to do damage. Team synergy is incredibly important and really, the only answer to that is experience. Competitive pokemon is a complex thing.

Here's a stupid of question of mine: Does the Regenerator ability trigger its heal if the pokemon in question is phased though Whirlwind/Roar/Overhead Throw/Dragon Tail?

About Regenerator, how it switches out doesn't matter, 1/3rd of its HP will be restored.

Thank you, the wording on the ability is a little vague and I'm not able to test things at the moment.

I have an idea; why not use Icicle Spear on lead Mamoswine to destroy Substitutes? Would this work?

What would this threaten exactly? Without skill link, you're not really likely to kill anything off the bat, and with Mamo's speed, he doesn't really want to give up Shard.

Anyone have any good anti-weather pokes + sets?

Choice Scarf Cloud Nine Golduck is a surprisingly useful option. I use:

Mild
Cloud Nine
Choice Scarf
4HP/252 Sp.Att/ 252 Speed
Surf
Ice Beam
Hidden Power Electric
Cross Chop

Priority is awesome. Scizor, Lucario and Conkeldurr are my personal favourites.

Priority T-wave and Priority Stun Spore from Thundurus and Whimsicott are useful also.

I'm looking for help finding my SID as well. PM or VM me.

Also, is RNG abuse for Dream World pokemon the same as regular C-gear RNG abuse?

@ Netbrian: I would say HGSS since I find it easier to verify my seeds with Elm's calls. Plus, you are not restricted to advancing the frame by 2 with only journal flips like you are in DPPt, meaning you can go for even or odd frames with relative ease since you can use Elm's calls to advance by 1 frame, or Youngster Joey' calls to advance by 2.

I have to say though, BW Non-Cgear method seems pretty easy after the first time, at least from the 4 or so Pokemon I've caught with it so far, but that was only with catching with a Synchronizer and didn't involve encounter slots or Shininess. I haven't tried breeding, so I can't say in that area. Also, unless you know your SID (which you cannot obtain without an AR unless you know the exact time you started your game profile), you won't be able to get Shinies.
 
Wifi is currently closed but I am desperately looking for:
A female Timid UT Snorunt/Froslass with Spikes (good IV's preferred)
OR
A male Snorunt/Froslass/Glalie with Spikes (Any nature or IV's)
VM me if you have any of those, so we can find something you want in return.

But is Ice Shard reliable enough as an Ice attack to use SE over Icicle Crash?
Click to expand...

Preferences. It's all what you want. Ice Shard won't be taking out the lati@s at decent health but it's destroy those that it's 4X against. Then again u lose the coverage of rock. I would prefer coverage. I don't know what you'd prefer. Personally I run dualscreen leadswine w/ SR and Shard. But that's me.
 
if you have two game cards linked to one pgl account and have already earnt your eeveelution on one of them, how can you do it for the other one?
 
My first time RNGing in BW was Cobalion. I used standard seed method and hit my frame. So, how would I do this for Wild Pokemon? Do I just put the stuff in RNG reporter and use sweet scent to get a random pokemon?

Please explain.

Thanks
 
Couple questions.

If I have both Black and White, how does it work with the Pokemon Global Link? Do I have to make another account to use Dream World with the other version?

When we complete the game to obtain a special Eevee form, what happens after you choose it? Is the choice automatically saved on the account?
 
How would you guys suggest leveling a Wobbuffet or Wynaut from level 1 to level 100, without the use of rare candies?
