When discussion about the pokemon, typically comparing it to something else that fills the same exact niche and is already ranked, happens to derail the thread. Significantly.
Ah so it is like how say people could be trying to compare Arcanine and Entei and Sylveon to Florges with it just going around in circles rather than saying that said Pokemon aren't even usaboe in the OU tier, correct?
That's exactly what happened.
Would a RestTalk set be viable on Conkeldurr? It is a safer way to take advantage of Guts and you get a semi-reliable way to recover. I think a set like Rest/Sleep Talk/Bulk Up/Drain Punch
with 252 HP/252 SpDef would do well. Sure it is hard walled by Ghost type but Crocune is also hard walled by Water Absorb poke and it is still viable. Any thoughts?

Does some one have a good spread for Mega-Pinsir?
How does Bisharp learn Sucker Punch? It's not on Bulbapedia's move list..
Just breed with Croagunk/Cacnea/Spinda(they learn it by level iirc).
Just max attack and Speed. Jolly is recommended as the nature, but you can go adamant if you feel pinsir is too weak. But a +2 jolly pinsir should be more than powerful enough.
Egg move. Parents who learn sucker punch by levelling up include: Spinda, cacnea, cacturne, croagunk, toxicroak. Hitmonlee and hitmontop also get it as a gen IV move tutor moves.
Correct, all Egg Moves will be passed down now thanks to Gen 6's breeding Mechanics, regardless of Gender. So say you have a Adamant Ditto and a Bisharp with Sucker Punch, once you breed the two the Pawniard will have Sucker Punch.
If nobody has an answer for this, since this is probably too complicated for a simple questions thread, where should I start a thread to ask this?
How do you teach Smeargle Memento in XY, or is it even possible? I tried the old taunt trick and wasting mementoer's turn with the use of an item, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
Also, would a Lonely Absol or Brave Aegislash be viable?

Brave Aegislash yes, Lonely Absol no
Have you tried using Memento on a Pokemon using Protect?
Why not Lonely Absol (+ Atk - Def) ? I thought its Defensive Stats were Terrible and its Attack Stat was great. What would be a better Nature for Mega Absol?
It's defensive stats are bad, but that doesn't mean you should make them worse. Adamant (+Atk, - S Atk) would be much better, because you shouldn't be using its Special Attack anyway.
Would Careful be a good nature for a Kecleon? I recently got a Friend Safari with Kecleons and I'm trying to get a Protean Kecleon.
Actually, Fire Blast is very good on Mega Absol, because it actually does damage to Ferrothorn, Skarmory, and Forretress. As such, a Lonely or Naughty Nature may be desired. Hasty or Naive is probably the best one though, because it really needs the Speed.
Does anyone know if former TM moves (such as Defog) can be passed by breeding this gen? Current TMs such as thunderbolt will not pass to the child even if both parents know the move. I was wondering if anyone knows if this restriction was also placed on former TMs, since I want to breed a Scyther with Defog in XY.
In a nutshell, we try to keep the game as skill based as possible. Luck based effects take this skill away from the players and decide how the battle goes by RNG. Since evasion has very few ways of beating it, and most of these ways are inferior in every other way than other options, it was decided to just ban the offending things. Less RNG spam = more skill required to win = better game
