I don't think you can actually check the poges you swap for. The only information you get is from the moves it used against you and possibly the item if its an activated one.
Normally I just pick up good looking ones along the way, if I was cursed with bad luck at the start and got some crappy poges. I find Heracross is a nice poke to work with in the BT because it has nice coverage with the decent moveset (most of the Factory movesets suck balls), so I usually pick it up if I don't get one at the beginning and if I encounter it along the way.
 
Eruption's power is based on the Pokemon's health. But on serebii.net they say that it has a BP of 150 . . . does that mean if Typhlosion uses Eruption with 1 hp that it would still have more power than Fire Blast . . . or am I wrong on this???
 
Sometimes my Pokemon's ability changes and I specifically made sure it was an ability that would correspond the one I wanted, such as: Rhyhorn with Rock Head, but ends up as a Rhydon with Lightning Rod.

Can anyone tell me what factors can cause this random switch in abilities when the Pokemon has a 2 potential abilities and whether Pal Park has any effect on this outcome?

Does the same thing happen to Pokemon bred, caught, and raised in D/P?

Yea that happened to my primeape when i migrated. it has anger point... which didnt exist in sappire.
 
Do the legendary birds have their Hidden Power set when you first start the game? It's so odd that the natures and IVs change, yet every Zapdos I've caught thus far has had HP Fighting. Am I stuck with that for good? Or is this another instance of a rushed release?
 
^That's what I had thought, but I actually proved how dumb I was just now.. xD

On a test Zapdos, I just used two rare candies to get to level 52, checked the HP and got Fire 65. Then I used the rest to get to 56 and got HP Fighting 60.. I don't know who to believe.. =\

edit: On another test, the Lonely Zapdos I got had HP Fighting 33, then leveled to 54 to get HP Bug 40 with the IVs:

Something weird with my Jumpluff...

I've been breeding two Jumpluff both knew encore. Now they are in their 30's so they've deleted encore as a move but their babies are still being born knowing it. I just withdrew the male jumpluff and he has deleted encore.

Is this supposed to happen? or is this a glitch with my game?

Not sure, but with a speed that low I don't think it's going to out speed anything, so I doubt it.

Well, Spiritomb's tier:

# 106 - no-speed Spiritomb (35)
# 102 - no-speed Bronzong (33)
# 98 - no-speed Bidoof (31)
# 96 - no-speed Snorlax, Slowbro, Steelix (30)
# 87 - 0IV Spiritomb
# 85 - -nature/0IV Trick Room Dusknoir
# 63 - -nature/0IV Trick Room Bronzong

If I have 0 Speed IVs, non-Trick Room Bronzong, Biddof, Snorlax, Slowbro and Steelix will outspeed me, which shouldn't be too much a worry for me, right?

No, as long as you don't take them out of the daycare, you're fine. Only after being removed from the daycare does a Pokemon "learn" any moves it picked up while in the daycare. Otherwise, it still has the moves you put it in with, even at level 100.

Bidoof is definitely nothing to worry about. The others I'm not so sure on, but the chances of getting a "perfect" 0 IV is slim.

Woah, that is good to know. Did it work this way in past generations as well?
 
I caught a "legendary" pokemon in Emerald version w/ a great ball and I want to migrate it to my Pearl version. I was wondering if I migrate it through Pal Park, would it still be in the great ball? If not, is there anyway I can edit the ball and change it to a great ball? x_x

When you transfer your pokemon from GBA through Pal Park it will still be in a great ball. Anytime you transfer any pokemon through Pal Park most everything stays the same from the GBA game: what type of pokeball it is in, what level it is, its EVs, whether or not it is shiny, whether or not it has pokerus, etc.
