I hope this helped!
Pokemon Showdown is kinda messed up right now, every match ends halfway with a "server overload" or something.
What's another good Pokemon online battle simulator that everyone uses? Is Pokemon online the only one?

Pokemon Online is the only one. And remember - PS is still in beta. The ladder has been broken for a long time and has never worked properly. Use the time now to test your teams with no penalty!
is there any way to battle quickly with level 100 pokes over IR? Me and a group of about 6 other guys play tournaments regularly and have always done them at level 50 because of the way IR battling forces you to. Is there a way to battle at level 100 besides wi-fi?
Asked again because no one answered.

Ok cool. I just downloaded it, does Smogon just use the main server? (The one called "Pokemon Online"?)
Smogon used to have its own server on PO1, but doesn't have a PO server now for multiple reasons:
- It was hard to stop DDoS attacks, fix bugs, etc. because Pokemon Online is its own entity, and we pretty much had to report to them for sim problems
- The ENTIRE userbase moved to Pokemon Showdown! even though it's still in beta
- PO2 is apparently pretty ugly
There are more reasons that I can't remember.
TooWycked, there is no way to set all Pokemon to level 100. WiFI and Pokemon Center link battles allow any level Pokemon to stay at its actual level however.

Use the smogon forums! Smogon's IRC base has a huge amount of people involved in trading and 4th generation, so prowl around on Smogon's irc channels and you'll be sure to find something.
Speaking from past experience, Purplesurge and serebii may also work as well.

Is there any reason why Ditto is NU? Is it because Imposter isn't released yet?
Sorry for asking so many questions :P

There hasn't been a tier change since imposter ditto has been released, thats all. iirc the next tier change is October 1, so I'm pretty sure he'll have moved up quite a bit.
This is something I've been wondering for a good bit of time. I assume it would go here.
Basically, how do you guys and girls retain all your pokemon knowledge? Because I have seen people just list a ton of team advice and move advice from memory, yet I could study for hours and still not know half as much. Is it just from a lot of play/practice or from actually studying the metagame?

It depends upon the person, but I find trying a bunch of different sets/pokemon/EV spreads out is the best way to figure out how things work.

Third time's the charm? Seriously guys.

How would an offensive core of Agility Metagross, Lefties CM Keldeo and Physically Defensive CM Latias fare?
Thanks.
How do you make a weaknesses/resistances chart like that? What's the website?
It's the teambuilder on marriland.com
I'm looking for suggestions for a good Special Sweeper that can really take good advantage of Dual Screen support, and maybe a good Physical one as well. The team as whole is fairly defensive/support based, I want a few really good damage machines to take advantage of it all.
I skimmed most of OU, and didn't notice too much, so I'm probably just going full UU here, so no suggestions of major current threats.

Almost any and all sweepers benefit from Dual Screens- be they physical or specially based. I would recommend SubCM Latias, because of her great speed and offense, and insane defenses behind screens. Lots of DDancers love to be behind screens; Haxorus is a prime example, along with Dragonite, who's mutliscale is even harder to break through.
