They will hit through fly/bounce/dive etc. but a no guard fighting move won't hit a ghost type.

"If you’re doing this in Emerald, after catching around 15 Ditto (or a full box), fly to the Battle Frontier IV guy (see the section ‘how to discover the IVs of your Pokémon in Part I) and let him check the Ditto you just caught. Release those that don’t have a perfect IV, change your Synchronizer to breed for another nature if you like, and repeat this process as necessary."
Anyone like this "IV guy" in D/P? Or do you just have to do IV battles over and over... ? >.>
I mean, that characteristic checking thing isn't reliable, right? I thought it was just possible for a 31 IV stat...

There is no IV-guy in D/P but the characteristic can be realiable if you combine it with an IV calculator because if you have delimited the range of a certain IV enough then the characteristic will tell you the exact number it can be. The downside is that it only works for the highest IV value (or only one of them it there is a tie).
Well, that's actually finr becase I'm just looking for good Dittos now, but doesn't the pkmn have to be a t a certain level for the IV calc to work correctly?
Yes, the higher the level the more accurate the results you will get. In D/P dittos are caught at levels 29-30 so it should be fine.
Actually I found out that at level 30 if the ditto has a perfect stat then its value should be:
- For HP it is 78
- For a stat boosted by its nature is 47
- For a neutral stat is 43
- For a stat lowered by its nature is 38
Following that you are guaranteed to find the perfect stats quickly.

What exactly is Superpower's added effect? Serebii's description isn't very helpful...
Thank you kind sir. =)
Superpower? The only added effects I know is lowering Attack & Defense one stage each time you use it.
... For further reference, use this instead.....

I have a question about the ability Intimidate.
If I had 2 Pokemon on my team with that ability (let's say Salamence and Gyarados) and I switched Gyarados in, then switched Salamence in. Would those intimidates "combine" to count as if the opponent had their attack cut twice, or does the effect go away after I switched Gyarados out?
What if the Gyarados had died, and the Salamence was sent in?

If you switch in one right after another, yeah, attack's gonna get cut twice. It's a rough combo in doubles. It's essentially a Charm on both opponent Pokemon at once (barried Hyper Cutter, Clear Body, etc.)
Alright, thanks. I had someone tell me otherwise, and I wasn't sure whether or not it was true, as that made no sense to me.
when you intimidate someone their attack gets lowered one stage. if you do it twice it's two stages. as long as the opposing (intimidated) pokemon does not switch out, they will have their attack lowered. if one of the pokemon dies it does not affect the opossing pokemons attack. If you wanted to you could keep on switching between salamence and gyrados untill your opponent has -6 attack. For further questions look here http://www.smogon.com/dp/abilities/intimidate
It prevents overkill damage from showing up (IE, weavile lost 200% of its health becomes weavile lost 100% of its health). The reason that matters is that it makes it easier tell if your opponent's pokes are choiced or not.
No, that would violate sleep clause. Unless it's turned off, then it's not allowed.
If I ask anyone, or go on any site, they say the EV spread for a Mixape(infernape)is attack24/Sp attack252/speed228
why do we want they special attack higher than the attack
i would like them even, so do i go 126attack/126Sp attack??

PP Stalling is always funny. They rarely set up on you, so you can sit there and piss them off.
Also, considering there would be no sleep clause, you could lead with a crobat and put everything (nothing will be faster if they aren't EVed, scarfed, etc...) to sleep. Scarf Breloom is an option if you don't want to risk missing.
Cripple the entire team and set up something/pass boosts to a NU/NFE and sweep them.. Swept by luvdisc.... yay!
That's all I can think of besides FEAR.
EDIT:
Because it is meant to sweep with Special Attacks. CC is just there to leave Blissey/Snorlax black and blue... Can you see a use for more SAtk?
Wait so I can't even rest if one of my other pokemon is asleep?
Where can I find a good damage calculator? I would type best, but I don't wish to cause an argument.
Yes, if you induce sleep on yourself, they can sleep another.
Edit: I know this because I slept a smeargle and the opponent used Rest on Milotic.
I was wondering, would anyone like to help me make a quick OU and a quick UU/NU team? Not really the movesets, just the six Pokes that would be on them.
I'm not good at making teams. 3:
