So, can a Slowbro run Assault Vest (at level 50) if it has an imperfect Special defense stat?
I'm trying to MM a shiny one (still, for those who happen to remember one of my previous posts in this thread), but the only foreign Slowpoke I could get from the GTS didn't have a perfect SDef IV, and I don't have any suitable parents to cook up a good Slowpoke that DOES have 31 SDef IV.
Right now the best Slowpoke I have hatched is max in HP / Def / SAtk, and the best alternate co-parent I have is a Wartortle with 31 in SDef and Spe. The foreign Slowpoke I got has HP / SAtk / Spe, so since HP and SAtk are more important to me than SDef, I was considering just continuing to MM with it rather than spend all the time to hatch a Slowpoke with that 4th IV. Think it matters? I might also use a basic support set. (I'm going for bold nature by the way)

Okay so say I'm playing doubles, and a ghost type on the opponent's team uses protect, one of my pokemon uses feint on it, and the other uses shadow claw.
Obviously feint won't deal damage, but will it lift the effects of protect so I can hit it with shadow claw? Or is it like rapid spin where the effect of the move won't trigger unless it deals damage?
