If you Hypnosis an opponents pokemon(Activating Sleep Clause), and they bring in a Gengar, are you allowed to predict a Hypnosis and Magic Coat it back without breaking Sleep Clause?
 
Was there any point to breeding my Phione? It isn't even allowed in official tournaments or battle tower,

I don't know about the battle tower but Phione is allowed in official Smogon tournaments - it's in the UU tier.
 
Can pokemons remember forgotten egg moves from Heart Scale? Say I taught my Furret something over Trick, which is egg move. Can I re-learn Trick with Heart Scale?
 
Hiya, me again... wanted to ask 2 questions if anyone could help me out. I'm planning to use a Jirachi as a lead for my team, because it can use a ton of the supporting moves that I need, like Wish and Stealth Rocks.

1. Can someone give me a link to the list of the most common OU/BL leads? Or, tell me which of them provides a problem for the standard Jirachi lead? This is so I can make my team stronger against it's counters...
2. Is it even possible for a person to hae a legit Jirachi that's also nicknameable?

Thanks for any help! ;O

I remember hearing a while ago that wild Pokemon's stats are slightly lower than a trainer-owned Pokemon's, at least in Gen III. I've been Speed filtering Moltres in FR with a 107 Speed Onix, and all three I've caught have had a Speed stat of 119 with +Speed natures.

My question is: do wild Pokemon actually have lower stats?

nope. this is absolutely false. wild pokemon just come without being ev trained.

I have to bring this up again because 1) all the Moltres I've filtered and caught have had a +Speed nature (which I'm not really complaining of) and 2) my 107 Speed Onix just outsped a 109 Speed Moltres.
 
Could somebody please factor leftovers into this

How many Special Attack EV's does a Calm Venusaur need to @2HKO the standard Meganium with sludge bomb?

None. Calm, 0 SpA Venusaur's Sludge Bomb vs. Bold, 216 HP / 0 SpD Meganium: 54% - 64%

How about Celibi? Would probably need Modest for that :/

Actually, you don't have to go Modest at all.

Calm, 96 SpA Venusaur's Sludge Bomb vs. Bold, 252 HP / 0 SpD Celebi: 53% - 62%
 
I need some help planning a team; I've never put very much thought into strategy before and I finally realize my mistake. However, I have no experience.

Here's what I've got so far. Well, I have a level 43 Drapion and the other two are level 1 babies at the moment.

DRAPION
Adamant
Sniper
@Scope Lens
-Swords Dance
-Crunch
-Earthquake
-Ice Fang

JYNX
Modest
Forewarn
@Leftovers
-Lovely Kiss
-Substitute
-Calm Mind
-Ice Beam

BASTIODON
Impish
Sturdy
@Focus Sash
-Taunt
-Metal Burst
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake

I have plenty of TMs but I raised that Drapion as far as she is, being fortunate enough to capture her as Adamant with Sniper, before I knew about Night Slash as an Egg Move and I'm not going to breed another one from scratch for that move alone. Is Crunch good to suffice? Is the rest of the set solid? I took all these movesets from the strategy dex here; they're quite good but with all the options I don't know what to pick that would compliment each other.

As for Bastiodon, should I stick with EQ or go for Stone Edge or Iron Head? I guess it will depend on what other 3 critters I pick. I can't tell if the Jynx is a special sweeper or something else; I'm thinking I should have 1 physical sweeper (Drapion), 1 special sweeper, 1 tank (Bastiodon), and some kind of shuffler, annoyer, and/or healer for the last two slots. I'm looking at Crobat or Forretress or... something. Can anyone help me decide? I still need something with a Fire-type attack and a Water-type attack.
