We won't know the actual multiplier until we get into the game data, but it seems to be about the same as BW, so it's probably still the 6x rate.
Tutor moves do not pass down unless they are also egg or TM moves for the offspring.
Yeah I checked myself just now and came back to say that. Thanks.
Also, I'm trying to breed an HP Ice Alakazam under the unfortunate circumstance of currently having no access to another 30 speed IV human-like Pokemon. So far, I've managed to breed two Timid Magic Guard Abras with a spread of 31/31/31/31/31/28. Are these ultimately worth using, or should I keep trying my luck for that 30 speed IV? Put another way, are there any specific threats that I wouldn't outspeed given the 2-point IV difference (aside from other Alakazam, of course)?
that's pretty subjective, but you can get:
Alakazam has 120 base speed. So does Dugtrio, which will outspeed you. Hawlucha has 118 base speed... With an IV of 28, you should still outspeed it by one point at level 100. At level 50 you might tie, I didn't calc the stats. Everything else you should outspeed still.
That pretty much what I was thinking, yeah. Even if I was going for a 31 speed Alakazam, there would still be the issue of Dugtrio using Sucker Punch so that was always a lost cause. Other than the moles, both Arceus and Sceptile have 120 base speed, and given that the former is banned to Ubers while the latter is rarely used in the higher tiers the only real issue (unboosted-wise) is an opposing Alakazam. Plus, even had I opted to go for the Mega Alakazam route, the only notable unboosted threat I see is Mega Aerodactyl which won't likely be one of the more common megas, anyway.
Crawdaunt can be found in dark-type friend safaris with its hidden ability.
Rumors, but that's it. No one has any real evidence that tipping does anything.
I'm pretty sure you can. You can't store items in Pokebank though.
