Tiers are determined by usage over several months (3 IIRC), not just the most recent one.

If Azelf's usage over the months of April, May, and June is over a certain threshold (I forget the exact number?) it will go to OU and similarly if Virizaion's is below that threshold it will go to UU. It won't go to BL automatically though of course if it is determined to be overpowered in UU it may be banned to BL.
Yeah there's a bit of debate on this one, same as there is with regards to Blissey's EV spread. 252 HP / 252 Def should only be run with a Bold nature, and gives maximum physical bulk for taking things like unboosted Outrages and the like. 252 Def / 252 SpD should only be run with a Calm nature (The earlier EV spread completely outclasses this one with Bold), and provides greater special defense but less physical defense than the above set.
Personally, for OU I'd recommend the physically defensive spread, as Chansey has ridiculous enough special bulk already that no special attacker is going to 2HKO it unless they're boosted to +6 or something anyway. On the other hand, Chansey is plenty likely to be called upon to take physical hits and will greatly appreciate the extra bulk it gets from max defense to do so. The specially defensive spread is primarily geared towards Ubers, where there are much more powerful special attacks to absorb, such as Kyogre's Water Spout, and the extra special defense is needed to avoid 2HKOs. Unlike Blissey, Chansey doesn't risk getting 2HKO'd by things such as Specs Toad Hydro Pump when it goes for maximum defense, so there's little need to invest in special defense in OU.
Is Final Gambit affected by Prankster? Quick Question
It's categorized as a Special move, so no.
No, you can only breed moves if they are on the egg move list (or level-up or TM, but obviously those are less important in most cases). If it were an egg move, then any father with Wish could pass it on so the event would be irrelevant, and female Pokémon can't pass egg moves regardless.
Also, just as a warning, the vast majority of Wish Chansey you will find (especially those with good IVs and/or shiny) are either hacked or Mimic glitched, and it's impossible to confirm any of them as legitimate since we don't really know how that event worked.
well, a pokemon can always earn EVs, but since the introduction of the 5th generation the EVs can be used at lvl 100, so lets say you just recieved a lvl100 event arceus it can obtain and use the EVs when it gets them, unlike the old games when if you got the arceus you could EV train it, but not use it since the mechanics back then transferred your EVs to stat upon a lvl up
my bad, i didn't make it clear in the first place, sorry 'bout that
basically, can a pkmn receive 252 ev's in one stat at lvl 100 unlike the 100ev's per stat back in 4th gen days?
In Gen V, you can EV train completely at level 100.
Xinefere, no, it isn't just what you said. Firstly your information is wrong, a pokemon can have up to 255 EVs in one stat and can have 510 EVs in total. Secondly it is hardly concise. Point in case is above. Answer it in a short statement, not a poorly-explained essay.
in all honestly frog, it was close enough and even though your critesizing me i honestly dont give a flying rats @$$ if my way of saying things are slightly incorrect and/or hard to follow
I'm not critising you, and I did not ask for a quarrel; all I did was answer the question correctly. On the Simple Question, Simple Answer thread, you must make sure your answer is both right and simple. Posts like '...which is what I just said...' help nobody. I answered his question. When someone answers a question, even if it has been answered before, you don't post things like that. You don't malign those who give an answer alongside you. And even then, you don't post a reply like the one above insulting other members.
All I did was answer his question and correct yours. I don't think that deserves such a disrespectful reply, do you? If you don't care if your answer is wrong, don't answer the question. Good day.
To clarify what I think frogoholic is saying: your first post did answer Toon Abw's question, yes. But you started by picking on a technicality in how he worded it and kind of wrapped the answer he was actually looking for in the middle of it, and then his next post suggested that he didn't really get what you were trying to say. To avoid that confusion in the future, you should make the basic answer separate from the detailed explanation. Maybe write it as "Yes, <explanation>" or put a tl;dr at the end or something.
Yep, level 100 is trainable the same as any other level now. Of course, even if they hadn't changed that mechanic it'd still be doable with wings (but it'd take a lot longer).
