He won't get retested because of Rough Skin. Think of Sand Force Excadrill or Blaze Blazekin, who are both Uber. It just gets too complicated when you re-tier everything depending on abilities since then you'd need to do it for everything. However, he may get retested anyways simply because of the differences in the B2/W2 metagame.
I never tried it -is it true that Leaf Guard + Rest doesn't work the same way as Hydration + Rest?
That's correct. The difference is that Hydration cures status at the end of every turn, while Leaf Guard prevents it from being caused in the first place (and thus makes Rest fail).
Is Liechi Berry still unreleased? I know some of the pinch berries were released in BW2, but PS! still rejects it, and before I ask if they haven't implemented it yet I want to know if it actually was released. It lets me use Salac, but not Liechi.
Nope, i'm pretty sure it doesn't.
An interesting thing to note is that it ignores an opponent's negative drops too. So be wary switching into Draco Meteors that do 50-60%, you'll get 2HKO'd

ThePhalanx is right, Unaware only ignores the opponent's stat changes. Here's the onsite description of the ability:
Smogon description of Unaware said:
Anyway, on to a question of my own. If something is transformed into Castform and the weather changes, does Forecast activate for the transformed Pokemon? I ask because this happened on Showdown, and it didn't change, so I'm wondering if this was a glitch or what was supposed to happen.
As a follow up question, if two opposing Unaware boosters face eachother, do they ignore eachothers boosts or does it work like Shadow Tag where the effect doesn't occur?
They ignore each other's boosts. As for Pocket's question, I'm 99% sure that Unaware still ignores boosts in the event of a crit, but I'm not positive.
Does Serene Grace affect the percent confusion hurts the other pokemon?
No, the chance confused pokemon hit themselves are the same, and when they do the damage is the same. It only increases the chances of side effects on a move, such as flinching or paralysis.
If I have Red Card and they Volt Switch/U-Turn, they still trigger my card and are forced to switch at random, right? They don't get to choose?
correct, they don't get to choose.
Ditto keeps its original Hidden Power. This is why it's important to set your IVs so that you get the one you want.
According to Ditto's thread and DW analysis of the web, Ditto uses its own ivs for to calculate its hidden power.
For example, if Ditto transforms into Amoonguss with HP Ice, and the Ivs of Ditto are for HP Poison, after transforming, if Ditto uses Hidden Power its type would be Poison.
Are old pinch berries released: Liechi, Ganlon, Salac, Petaya, Apicot?
And new pinch berries of 4th gen: Micle, Custap, Jaboca, Rowap?
They are most likely all released, but they haven't all been confirmed, and only the ones which have are legal right now.
I've lost track of which ones have been confirmed.
So that's why PS! refuses my Liechi berry... thanks Nyktos (even though you were answering someone else)
Is there a resource that allows one to search for Pokemon that are able to learn a specific combination of moves (e.g. every Pokemon that learns BoltBeam)? I think there was one such search engine for the 4th gen but I don't recall which site had it and I have no idea if it was updated for the 5th gen.
