Two Questions:

1. When Sleep by Hypnosis or sleep powder, what % chance of my pokemon waking up next turn?
- I heard they can be asleep for 4 turns, then they wake up?

2.When My pokemon asleep, and I return it, and release 4 turns later, do they wake up? similar to question on top
-What about Rest? also

Try to look higher in this page. TheMaskedNitpicker did a good job answering similar questions regarding sleep.
To sum up, your pokemon when being hit by a sleeping move has a sleep counter on it, which goes down everytime your pokemon is using a turn sleeping or sleep talking or snoring if anyone uses that. Switching out won't make your counter go down, but it will not reset it either, which means that if you were supposed to wake up the following turn, you still will when the said sleeping pokemon is back and decides to do something instead of switching.

What is the critical hit % for:

-normal attacks
-attacks with higher critical-hit ratios (i.e. Slash)
-Super Luck
-Scope Lens
-Focus Energy (I think it's two stages, so is it like two of Scope Lens?)

Thank you very much.

Normal Attacks: Domain 0
High CH ratios like Slash: Domain 1
Super Luck: Add 1 to Domain
Scope Lens: Add 1 to Domain
Focus Energy: Add 2 to Domain

where

Domain 0: 6.25%
Domain 1: 12.5%
Domain 2: 25%
Domain 3: 33%
Domain 4 or more: 50%

The above is true for DP.

So Super Luck + Night Slash is 25% chance of a CH. Super Luck + Scope Lens + Night Slash = 33% chance. Super Luck + Focus Energy + Night Slash = 50%. etc.
 
A question for experienced breeders:

Which set is more likely to give me triple flawless?

Set A:
Parent 1 x/x/x/31/x/31
Parent 2 x/x/x/31/x/31

Set B:
Parent 1 31/x/x/x/x31
Parent 2 x/x/x/31/x/31

Sp Att and Speed are the priority but I intend to get quad flawless so which way do I go?

Thanks

Just a simple question here. If you insert your info into a damage calc, and then it comes up with something like this:

85.34%-90.56%,

Does it have a range because you cannot be sure how much it'll hit exactly, or is it because you can hit any where in between there, depending on whether you're lucky or not?
Click to expand...

When you attack, there is a random number that goes into the Damage Calculator in the game itself, and I don't remember what it is, but it's something like 80-100.

If it goes around 80, you will get the lower number Damage. If it goes to 100, it will go to the higher number Damage.

I hope that's understandable.


And for my question, that I asked earlier:

Is there a list of renewable TMs and moves for D/P? Renewable can include like RSE's Return/Frustration, Mart TMs, Game Corner TMs, and BattlePoint type of moves. Thanks.

Well, if you're going for sp att and speed, set one will be better. However, set must be better if you want 3 flawless. Set A parents have flawless in only sp.att and speed, so how do you expect to inherit another flawless if there's no other?
 
How does the breeding community work? I'd like to get involved but I don't really understand why people aren't just breeding the Pokemon they want instead of breeding stuff they don't want and trading it. Is it the sort of thing where people who don't necessarily breed can trade their mediocre Pokemon for super-bred breeder Pokemon?

Could someone please clear this up for me?

10. Some people do breed Pokemon they want.
20. Time is limited.
30. By breeding awesome Pokemon more people than you would want, you have something you can (clone and) trade (to multiple people).
40. On the off-chance someone else has bred something you want, you can trade your Pokemon to them, and save the time you would have needed to breed THAT Pokemon, still have the Pokemon you bred, and can trade your bred Pokemon to other people for other Pokemon you might want.
50. When trades taper off or someone wants something else for something you really want and can't find elsewhere, GOTO 10.
 
Theoretically...

If Rampardos with Mold Breaker used HP Water on a Dry Skin Toxicroak...would it damage the Toxicroak?

"Prevents the Pokemon with Mold Breaker's attacks that would be affected by the target's Ability from being affected."

2 questions:

1. Can Tangela be found anywhere in D/P? Serebii says it can swarm but in the whole year I've had this game its never happened, so whats up?
Click to expand...
I think serebii is wrong there, bulbapedia says:

Tangela and Tropius are the only non-starter, non-legendary Pokémon that cannot be found in some manner in Generation IV. Like the starters and legendaries of Generations I, II, and III, they must be sent forward from Generation III.
 
To counterbalance non-perfect IVs on a bulkygyara, which EVs should I maintain at all costs and which can I adjust to attain "perfect numbers"

bulkygyara spread: 216 HP / 16 Atk / 176 Def / 100 Spe

Well, if it's Earthquake can hit Levitators. I don't see why it wouldn't.

If this Pokémon attacks and the target's ability would prevent the effects of the attack from taking place, or hinder the effects of the move, the ability is temporarily nullified while the attack is in progress. Abilities nullified are: Battle Armor, Clear Body, Damp, Dry Skin, Filter, Flash Fire, Flower Gift, Heatproof, Hyper Cutter, Immunity, Inner Focus, Insomnia, Keen Eye, Leaf Guard, Levitate, Lightningrod, Limber, Magma Armor, Marvel Scale, Motor Drive, Oblivious, Own Tempo, Sand Veil, Shell Armor, Shield Dust, Simple, Snow Cloak, Solid Rock, Soundproof, Sticky Hold, Storm Drain, Sturdy, Suction Cups, Tangled Feet, Thick Fat, Unaware, Vital Spirit, Volt Absorb, Water Absorb, Water Veil, White Smoke, Wonder Guard. Dry Skin's increase in damage when hit by a Fire move is also ignored.

Simple question:
should I keep this Regice?

Calm:
HP 28-29
Atk 13-17
Def 28-29
Sp.Atk 15-17
Sp.Def 18-19
Spd 20-22

A shame the SpDef is so low though, otherwise i think the stats are good.
