I have a few questions people.

1) Do moves such as Aerial Ace stretch to being able to hit a Pokémon using Dig/Fly/Shadow Force, during the 'non-hit' turn?

2) Are all ground moves able to hit a Pokémon when on the non-hit turn when using Dig? Or just Earthquake?

I had a few more, completely forgot them.

1. No. The only way a Flyer/Digger/etc can be hit while "hiding" is with Mind Reader/Lock-On, No Guard or specific attacks (Gust gets airborne targets for example).

2. Earthquake, Magnitude and Fissure are the only attacks that hit Diggers apart from the first two factors in answer 1.
 
Can you trade Rotom (appliance form) from Platinum to Diamond? If so, are the base stats that of normal form or appliance form? Can it keep special moves like Overheat, Leaf Storm, Blizzard, etc...

Will DD Mence most likely keep the 120 (hp)/252 (atk)/136 (spe) spread into platinum? Or should I plan to ev some other way?

I recommend you EVing to be able to outrun Timid Scarf Heatran after a Dragon Dance, which requires you to hit 279 speed before a DD. However, while at this you might as well EV to outrun Adamant Lucario, which requires 1 more speed point. To do this you require 176 speed EVs. So if you want an offensive salamence that can still take Fire Blasts, Waterfalls and Close Combats, I recommend 80HP, 252Atk, 176Spe.

However, I personally just run 252Atk, 252Spe on my DD Mences. The extra HP EVs don't help considerably in any way, and being able to speed tie most other base 100s (read Zapdos, Celebi, Jirachi) can be life saving.

I'm not sure, but from what I've heard, it keeps the special move, but its stats revert to its Normal Forme. When traded to Platinum, such a Rotom will revert to the appropriate form. Again, I'm not 100% certain on this...

Where is a list of moves each pokemon gained through platinum
Click to expand...
there used to be one on these forums. Dunno what happened to it, though. Try Serebii.net's Pokedex. I'll just go over some of the important details in a nutshell. Bibarel and Steelix got Curse. Just about every bird learns Heat Wave, Twister, and Ominous Wind. Gyarados gets Bounce, as does Magikarp. Baby Pokemon all learn Uproar. Weezing DIDN'T get Gunk Shot, unfortunately. Almost every electric type (if not EVERY electric type) can now learn Magnet Rise and Signal Beam. Weedle, Caterpie, Wurmple, Kricketot, Combee, and Burmy all learn Bug Bite now. Every cocoon pokemon can get Iron Defense. No new egg moves.

If your Smogon server Shoddy ranking is below the top 50, where do you go to see your score?

Thanks.

When you're on the server, right click on your name and there should be an option that says "View 'person's ranking" or something to that effect. If you have a single click mouse, that would be control+click.
 
if pokemon A uses grudge then pokemon B uses sleep talk and sleep talk selects surf and faints pokemon A will pokemon B lose all its PP from surf or from sleep talk?
 
I'm not quite sure, but I'd expect Surf, since that's the move that fainted the Grudge user.

My questions:
For how many of the opponent's turns can Taunt and Encore last? The game says 2-4 and 2-6, respectively, but Smogon says 3-5 and 4-8, respectively. Which one?
 
I think there was a list of event Pokemon thread here on Smogon, can someone give me a link to it please? Please no link to Serebii's I've already seen it and it wasn't what I was looking for. Specifically I'm looking for Mew events as I want to know if there is an event for Mew that had the OT MYSTRY and the ID No. 06930. It said it was from Hoenn however so it might have just been a Faraway Island Mew, but I think the person said they got it from a Toys R Us event.

That would be the Mystery Mew, from Toys R Us.
 
Same way you normally would..?

Is Superpower viable on Mamoswine at all? Mine doesnt have Curse so right now I have Blizzard, Ice Shard and EQ..Double Hit seems useless..
