I think in that case the person who Encored would be either DQd for forcing his opponent to break a clause or the match would continue as normal, since it was his fault he Encored.

Item clause doesn't seem like it'd be broken by Trick.
 
assuming its a bulky gyara, with 384 HP, and 239 Def, Tpunch will do between 206 and 242 damage after intimidate, or 54% - 63%
 
I know that solar beams power is halved in hail, rain and sandstorm but if the power herb is used for solarbeam does its power stay normal?

I am not yet far enough to test this myself, seen as you don't absorb sunlight i (or do you?) i imagine it would stay the same.
 
I'm planning to breed for a Tangrowth. Since I won't be needing any new Pokemon for Egg Moves, should I breed for Leech Seed in Diamond, or is it fine in Emerald? Also, do you breed Egg Moves first, or IVs first?

The only downside of breeding in Emerald is that Tangela's ability might or might not change when it evolves, but unless you're making a Sunny Day team and want it to take advantage of one of its abilities specifically, it shouldn't matter.

And, you breed for egg moves first, then try to perfect its IV's.
 
Okay, so:

Male Bulbasaur with Leech Seed + Female Tangela =
Tangela with Leech Seed + 31 HP IV Ditto =
Tangela with Leech Seed and 31 IV in HP + 31 SP DEF IV Ditto =
Tangela with Leech Seed and 31 IV in HP and SP DEF + Impish Ditto with 31 DEF IV =
Impish Tangela with Leech Seed with 31 IV in HP, Def, and Sp Def.

That's correct, right? And do the bolded ones have to be Male to pass Leech Seed?

If you lack any other over first turn priority moves in your team then you'll have use for quick attack. Pursuit is useful for chasing something as swellow is an open invitation for metagross and other steels. If you don't need quick attack use U-turn as well, Swellow is fast enough to make use of free damage when switching. Protect can help you activate flame orb.

Seen as the last 2 moves don't help Swellows coverage at all I'm considering using a flame orb Swellow as an agility passer. Baton pass is an XD move for it i believe and it causes enough switches to make sure you make the boost and pass.

I haven't really answered your question but just a few suggestions for you to decide what would help your team more.

EDIT: don't bother with what i said with baton passing as baton pass + brave bird is illegal. Can would with aerial ace though, you'll only use it over facade on Gengar most likely anyway.

Wait, so you have to be attacked for Flame Orb to kick in? I thought it was automatic. I'm thinking to make the last two U-Turn and maybe Quick Attack, but I'm really not sure. Thanks for the help.

It activates after you are out for one turn, protect means you can have it out against anything and it still activates, otherwise you have to force a switch or risk being attacked before it will activate. I don't recommend protect though, it threatens enough to ensure the flame orb activates.
 
This isn't really about D/P but how do people write war stories so accurately? Is it just based off of memory or do they write everything down as the battle goes? (For D/P)
