They're not officially released, so you can't use them in standard yet. Randbats isn't a "standard" thing. Other unreleased stuff like Snow Warning Aurorus and Contrary Serperior pop up often. I think CAPs were in randbats at some point as well.

Thanks!
rounded down, so 50.
I was in a double battle in the battle spot in the video game (Pokémon Y). The Pokémon the opponent had were Conkeldurr, Mega Heracross, male Meowstic with Prankster and probably a Smeargle (it was not sent out). The Meowstic kept using priority Assist that kept selecting Dark Void, so both my Pokémon were constantly put to sleep, while Heracross and Conkeldurr can freely use Focus Punch. How did Meowstic use Dark Void every time?
Regarding the "Victory Road" forum that was just created, will people without posting privileges still be able to see the posts made by those who can? I, personally, would like to at least see intelligent discussions about certain topics that are otherwise extremely susceptible to trolling.
Assist does not call focus punch. Looks like conkeldurr and heracross only had focus punch and smeargle only had dark void in their moveset.
Yes.
Does Recycle, well, recycle Air Balloon in XY? Because it is usable on the simulator.
Yes, it is possible. Encore from Clefairy/Togetic/Plusle/Minun, Memento from Hoppip line, and Switcheroo has to be chain-bred (Hypno -> Cacnea -> Cottonee).
It should be noted that I've found Serebii more reliable with regards to egg moves than Bulbapedia.
EDIT: I'll also note that Serebii has better documentation of chains when chain breeding is required for a move than Bulbapedia does.

Pokemondb is also accurate and very easier to use and has a much more comfortable-to-look-at layout.
Yes. Recycle can recover any consumed item. There is no restriction on the item itself. There are some rules on when an item can be restored though. For example, if you lost the item due to Thief, then you cannot recover it via Recycle. But in the simple case you describe (you had an item, you consumed it yourself, and you now have no item), then Recycle will restore the item.
Specially Offensive Autotomise Aegislash is the first that comes to mind. Bulky QD Volcarona is another, so is flame charge Heatran(sort of).
Stance Change only changes Aegislash's base stats, just like any other forme change.
Isn't the new subforum victory road biased as hell?
Yes. That is, in fact, the intent of the subforum. The discussion is led and advanced only by a select few who have proven to have knowledgeable and valuable opinions in the matter of competitive pokemon battling.
Did they ever come to a consensus in regards to Swagger + Prankster?
Ok, I have seen a team called "swagplay" and it was basically a team with prankster + swagger + Foul Play + t-wave + sub team. This team is beatable with pokemon that have high health and extremely low attack such as Blissey and Chansey. Chansey swept the swag play team that I saw a person use. It looks a little OP, but it is beatable.

Yes, there were two threads about it in recent weeks where the strategy was discussed extensively.
No not yet, if they had there'd be an announcement somewhere.
I've been trying out rain teams this gen, but every team I make has a weakness to at least one of these four pokemon: Rotom-Wash, Mega-Venusaur, Azumarill, and Ferrothorn. I decided to try and start a rain team by choosing one or two pokemon that can successfully deal with these four without losing too much momentum and then I'll add in my rain sweepers. The best I've come up with to deal with these four are Lati@s, Mega-Manetric, Mega-Ampharos, or Dragonite. Anyone else have any better ideas?
