How do you break a Ninjask Baton Pass team?

I have a team with a DDGyara lead. I use Dragon Dance four times to keep up with the speed boosts. My opponent Protects, Substitutes, Protects, and then switches to Marowak. Thinking anything Marowak has (Rock Slide) would KO me, I switch and the thing just rapes my team. Should I have attempted to outspeed with Gyara and break the Sub? Or is there any way I can modify my team to handle this? The only Pokemon on my team with a priority move is CSLuke, with Vacuum Wave.
 
@ Arcaseven: it's the same team I faced twice a moment ago, the first time I got beaten, the second I just kept attacking till I killed Ninjask, then I won easily.
 
always break the sub unless you have something like skarm to roar the passer out. even if you have no phazer, all ninjask can do if you keep your wits about you is pass speed and while some pokemon are scary when fast, none are "unstoppable."

i remember losing to a ninjask lead back in advance right at the beginning of ever playing competitive pokemon and iwas like "this thing is unstoppable" but if i had just broken the sub it would have gone alot easier r_r
 
Something with Roar/Whirlwind is nice on just about any team. Use one, and Ninjask is instantly useless. Though on an all-offense team, that is sometimes easier said than done.
 
My Diamond is American and I can Pal Park from my European Emerald/LeafGreen. So I'm assuming you can Pal Park from any nationality, including Japanese.
 
Okay I will wait for third person to answer the question:
If I have a French Diamond, then I can only Pal Park from French games?

Its strange that 1 says it does and 1 says it does not, but both did try it.
 
I think you can Pal Park from games with the same language. So an American Diamond can Pal Park with an European (English) Emerald, but not with an italian one. I'm not assuming anything, I tried it.
 
Is it possible that shaymin has been banned from PBR random battles? A few minutes ago I was not able to play with the battle pass where I recently added shaymin... but in the past I've faced opponents who used it against me.
 
Is draco meteor reobtainable in any way if you have already taught it to a pokemon?

edit: another question: what is the best way to obtain massive amounts of PP Ups?
 
You can teach any Dragon Pokemon Draco Meteor as many times as you like, just as long as the Pokemon likes you.

And for the other question, maybe a Pokemon with the Pickup ability, or use the Dowsing machine.
 
Lottery gives out PP Ups if you get only two numbers...
Basically, offer lots of semi-rare, easily bred (Spiritomb) for Starly/Bidoof on the GTS...and get as many ID numbers as possible.

I have a question is a Naive Nature good for grass pokemon like Roserade.

Timid is better because Roserade will never use it's attack, but Naive can work if that's all you have.

Edit: What happens if a sleeping Choice Pokemon uses Sleep Talk and wakes up on the next turn? Can it then use the move Sleep Talk selected the previous turn?
 
A Choice Band Pokémon can't switch moves regardless if it wakes up or not, so Sleep Talk would keep being selected and failing.
 
I bred 2 Slowpokes today with fairly good IVs. Actually one had amazing IVs, but stupid neutral (Hardy) nature, while the other had good (bold) nature. Not 100% sure which one to use, probably the bold one, but yah, just want to ask, in case there's a case for the Hardy one:

Hardy's IVs:
HP: 30-31
Attack: 9-10 (Doesn't Matter)
Def: 31
Sp. Attack: 29-30
Sp. Def: 30-31
Speed: 27-28 (Doesn't Matter)

Bold's IVs:
HP: 31
Attack: 25-27 (Doesn't Matter)
Def: 30-31
Sp. Attack: 28-29
Sp. Def: 22-24 (... if only it was also 30-31 like the Hardy one)
Speed: 2-4 (lol)

I guess it doesn't really matter, but it's going to be for the Calm Mind set.
EDIT: Forgot to say (though I figured it's probably obvious), it is going to evolve into Slowbro, not Slowking.
 
Just a random game mechanics question. Let's say for whatever reason Porygon2/PorygonZ had Iron Tail in their move set and move Conversion. P2/PZ would then use Conversion and it selects Iron Tail. If I switch in Magnezone next turn, will P2/PZ be trapped?
 
Serebii (EDIT: And Smogon) says that Porygon-Z can, in fact, learn Iron Tail. o_O

(EDIT 2: I fail at reading comprehension. I thought you meant "Assuming PZ learns Iron Tail...")

But I'd assume that it would be trapped, since Conversion would have changed its type to Steel. This has approximately zero basis in testing, so have some salt with that.
