Would Leaf Storm/Leaf Blade/Brick Break/Swords Dance work on a mixed Sceptile? Leaf Storm would be a big hitter, and I could just use Leaf Storm once, and the disadvantages wouldn't spread to the physical moves. I would probably use Life Orb with that, or maybe Lefties.

How much of an increase would Nasty Plot give?
What's a good number of Nasty Plots to use?

A 2x increase. One work work for regular sweeping, because most things that use Nasty Plot couldn't take the hits that well. Maybe to if you're using something with higher defenses.

Edit: Fuzzles, beaten.
 
In general, would Espeon or Leafeon be better for a Baton Pass team?

Or does it depend on the rest of the team?

Arvee: Nasty Plot doubles your SpAtk. There's not really anyway to say "a good number to use" because it depends on how the game works out. If your PorygonZ is near-dead, you probably won't be able to use Nasty Plot. If you've passed a Sub, you may be able to use it twice. It just depends on the situation.
 
Does Castforms ability Forecast activate in a sandstorm? And also, is it immune to damage from Hail or Sandstorm?

Weather Ball turns into Rock type but Castform itself doesn't so it is not immune to SS. However, it is immune to Hail when it turns into an Ice type during Hail.

Espeon passes Calm Minds and Leafeon passes Swords Dances so it depends on whether your team is more Physical or Special.

For Mix Sceptile, I'd use Leaf Storm/Focus Punch/Energy Ball or Grass Knot/HP Ice. I wouldn't use Leaf Storm on SD as it doesn't help it beat its resists.
 
Can you get your pokemon set to a certain level in normal link battles? Like if you chose the standard or fancy cups, will it set your pokemon to level 50 if they're all 100?

Espeon primarily passes Special Attack and Special Defense via Calm Mind, and is faster than Leafeon. Leafeon, however, is the only Eeveelution that can Baton Pass Swords Dance. It depends on the rest of your team.
 
I would say espeon is generally better, as many people have ninjask or gliscor for swords passing, although leafeon is excellent at it too.
 
My Blissey is lvl 100 with 252 HP evs, 252 Def EVs and 6 SpAtk EVs. Can I use 10 Pomeg berries on it to reduce its HP by 100 EVs, and then give it 10 Calcium to boost its special attack, or is this not possible because it's at level 100?
 
Once a pokemon has over 200 evs the berries decrease evs straight to 100 not by 10 points.

Also, I think there's a limit on the number of vitamins you can feed your pokemon (though I can't remember what it is).

Ok, so I feed her 1 Pomeg, and 10 Calcium? Do I need to do the "box trick" to get the stats to reset?

You can only use Vitamins until they have over 100EVs in whatever you're raising.

No, you do not need to use the "Box Trick" to reset it, as it's reset everytime you give it a vitamin.
 
if a pokemon evolves does its evs reset or so they carry over?

They carry over.

EDIT:

Also, reposting my old question that got buried:

I plan on using the flinch haxing Togekiss mentioned in the Analysis, but the EV spread isn't clear. They just mention to max out his HP, but don't give many other indications. They say you can just boost his Sp Atk with Nasty Plot, so EVs aren't needed, but the one I plan on using won't have Nasty Plot, so should I invest EVs into Sp Atk? Or should I still focus on HP, Def and Sp Def, and if so, what proportions? Max HP, then split evenly, or emphasis on Sp Def, or what?

Thanks in advance
