Two things:

Does trouble seed work on your partner in 2v2? Yes, haven't tested personally but I have the PBR guide and it shows that one opponent uses ability-affecting moves to create monstrous Slaking and Regigigas.
and​

If you send out a pokemon with a power item attached in a random battle and then switch to something else to do the fighting (faint opponent), does the first pokemon still receive the bonus EVs (i.e. fight bidoof with HP power item = 5 EVs)? Does this stack with pokerus like normal (bidoof + power = 10 EVs)?

Yes to both power item questions.
 
Cool, thanks!

Now, where are the best spots for 2v2 ingame (a la vs seeker)?

Also, is it possible to get encore + helping hand on Jumpluff (if so, how)?
 
Bah, I have no access to Wi-fi for lv. 100 IV battles. Is there any way to use just the regular wireless battle (i.e. two DSs physically close to each other) to the same effect? Or am I just screwed and doomed to a life of eternal darkness because my goddamn new internet doesn't support Wi-fi? =/
 
If you use a Salac Berry/Liechi Berry in a battle, will the Pokemon still hold it after the battle? Or do you have to grow more?
 
Age of Kings: You'll have to use the Rare Candy-IV Calculator method then. I recommend Metalkid's calc.

Hawk: If you use it in game, yes. Over wi-fi battles or in the battle tower, no.
 
I know the berries stay in PBR, not sure about the other though.

Yes, using the berry in-game (storyline, gym battles, etc) will cause it to be used and disappear, just like an Oran berry. Over wi-fi or in the battle tower, it will not disappear.

edit:
Age of Kings: No, you can get rare candies by using a pokemon lv41 or higher with Pickup and doing random battles until you get a sizable collection. With Metalkid's Calc, you probably don't need much more than 20 or so to get accurate results as long as you input every level up.

XtrEEmMaShEEn3k2: No, the effect disappears.

Thank you. Hopefully it won't take that long.. xD

What level do you think is safe enough to check?
 
The great thing about Metalkid's calculator is that if you input your stats (one level per row) everytime you level up, you can get more accurate results at lower levels. It depends on the base stats of the pokemon, nature, etc., but I'd say you'll usually have very accurate results by Lv20.
 
I usually go to level 12 or so to get my basic range and then go farther if I want to know specifics, but then I'm breeding in emerald so I know where my perfects are already.
 
Man, I was just thinking, what would BellyZard's sweeping move be if it was bred in D/P? Fire Punch is canceled out....Fire Fang (or maybe even Flare Blitz)..?
 
Flare Blitz would be kamikaze... with such low Hp already, you don't want to risk killing yourself. =\ Fire Fang is an okay option, with Flinch (or burn) possibilities, and only 10 base power less than Fire Punch. The accuracy, even if it's 95%, is annoying sometimes.
 
I have a Dragonite with a Quiet nature and zero speed IVs. With no speed IVs, I calculated its speed at about 148 (assuming I used Metalkid's calculator correctly). About where does that put this Dragonite in terms of what outspeeds it and what it outspeeds? What if it is holding a Macho Brace?

EDIT: I just checked speed tiers, and apparently this just outspeed Blissey with a neutral nature, 0 speed EVs, and 31 speed IVs. Say I run it in a Trick Room; would Dragonite be effective without a Macho Brace, given that other slow pokemon that you'd see on a TR team would outspeed it (Tangrowth, Marowak, Rhyperior)? If it does hold a Macho Brace, how seriously would it hamper its attacking ability as opposed to its holding something like, say, a life orb?

Don't ask why I'm trying to run a TR Dragonite, 'cause I dunno either.
 
I think it would be the same deal as Gyarados (since they're similar) where Jolly is more for a somewhat faster and lighter set and Adamant is for bulkier ones that don't worry so much about speed?

I would use Adamant just because Feraligatr really isn't.. fast. And after a Dragon Dance or two, will be fast regardless of nature.
