Ninetails has no reason to have that Atk IV. It has no business running physical attacks. In the case of confusion damage, a better IV spread for Ninetails is 31/2/30/30/30/30.

There are better choices for a Hydreigon set. I could probably tailor the EVs if I knew what the set is trying to do. Is Earthquake for Heatran? If you want to run a physical set, Replace Dragon Pulse with either Dragon Claw or Outrage, and give it the following EVs: 252 Attack / 4 Special Attack / 252 Speed with a Lonely or Naughty nature. If you switch Flamethrower to Fire Blast and give Hydreigon a Life Orb, you have a guaranteed OHKO on all variants of Ferrothorn. Heatran and Skarmory are OHKOed by Earthquake and Fire Blast, respectively.
The set is:
Hydreigon @ Life Orb
Lonely / Naughty (Naughty is preferable)
252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Outrage / Dragon Claw
Crunch
Earthquake
Fire Blast
Is Psyshock affected by Light Screen because its a Special attack or Reflect because it hits off the opponent's defense? Not entirely sure...
Is it legal to use action replay codes for dream world abilities as long as that pokemon can learn it?
It is effected by Light Screen
Edit: @Belawessom And yes it is illegal to modify your pokemon in any way. The list of "legal" AR codes can be found in this thread
Thank you, the Hydreigon is supposed to be a late game sweeper.
So that includes ev modifying and nature? Even if I don't have an advantage it's just faster? I'm lazy :p
Are moves like mean look, spider web, block, etc still able to be baton passed this gen??
To clear up any confusion resulting from the previous two posts: No, they are not. It has been confirmed as impossible to Baton Pass trapping effects in Gen 5.
What is the approximent number of steps needed for a Pokemon to evolve by max happiness while it is holding a sooth bell?
It depends on the Pokemon. Chansey would evolve relatively quickly, having a huge base happiness, while Buneary (who has a base happiness of 0 IIRC) would take just about forever to evolve. To evolve, a Pokemon must reach 220 happiness.
The Pokemon is Pichu.
Pichu's base happiness is 70. It does not appear to be known how often happiness increases in Gen IV and V - if it's 1 per 256 steps, as in Gen 3, then while doubled by the Soothe Bell, it should take 19200 steps, but it may be more or less frequent than this.
No. You need to hit hard, and hit fast with Zoroak, or you'll be KO'd.
So this event was basically given out just so we can have access to Snarl finally? Again, Quirky seems useless.
Yeah, it is useless. It's like Quiet Eruption Heatran, which is close to useless but it's just another option to expand your creativity. Keep in mind that Gamefreak doesn't always (or usually) have competitive play in mind
Whats the best ferrothorn moveset for defensive?
The thing is, should i use two attacking moves, or slash one out for protect? And if i do, which one? Also, what attacking move is best on defensive forretreds?
I personally use
-power whip
-gyro ball
-leech seed
-protect/spikes.
It all depends on your team
ANOTHER THING. I have my own question.
Is it possible to hack a Male chansey or a male litigant or is that just not programmed in and thus not possible?
Power Whip / Leech Seed / Protect / Filler.
Filler being Spikes, Stealth Rock, Thunder Wave or Gyro Ball.
Power Whip is the better choice if you're only using one attack. It has higher PP, deals consistent damage, and scores a super effective hit on the Water and Ground-types you wall. ProSeed (Protect + Leech Seed) is a must on Ferrothorn, as it gives you surprisingly effective and reliable recovery, wears down opponents simultaneously, and gives you more legroom to stall and scout with Protect.

Are gender ratios at all skewed in the Dream World? I seem to run into male Pokémon substantially more often than female Pokémon (and not just on Pokémon that have a 75% or 87.5% chance of being male in the game).
Also, do all Pokémon have an equal chance of appearing (assuming I have enough points), or are some more common than others? There are Pokémon that I run into almost every day, and others that I hardly ever run into.
