yup
No... It's Random Number Generator. It's a programming term, not a Pokemon one.
Yes you are correct.
For example: 96 / 16 = 6
96 x .0625 = 6 (Leftovers)
Substitute # 1: 96 - 24 = 72 + 6 = 78
Substitute # 2: 78 - 24 = 54 + 6 = 60
Substitute # 3: 60 - 24 = 36 + 6 = 42
Substitute # 4: 42 - 24 = 18 + 6 = 24
You can make 4 Substitutes, and with Leftovers.
However, if you do a number divisible by 16 + 1, you end up with 1 HP after 5 Substitutes, because it would be
Substitute # 1: 97 - 24 = 73 + 6 = 79
Substitute # 2: 79 - 24 = 55 + 6 = 61
Substitute # 3: 61 - 24 = 37 + 6 = 43
Substitute # 4: 43 - 24 = 19 + 6 = 25
Substitute # 5: 25 - 24 = 1 + 6 = 7
So by adding just 1 HP, you create an additional Substitute thanks to Leftovers. Or, if you don't have Leftovers then you still can Substitute 4x down to 1 HP (good for Flail / Reversal).
You can use the ability Pick Up or hunt wild Poliwhirls
Can no gender Pokemon like Magnemite pass on Natures with Everstone?
No. A Ditto is needed.
A Random Number Generator is (almost) exactly what it says: it generates (pseudo-)random numbers for the game's programming to use for various stuff, such as determining which Pokemon appears when walking around, what IVs/Nature/Gender/Ability it has, etc., etc.. Basically, anything that is randomly determined is controlled by an RNG at some point in the code.
I say pseudo-random, because it is technically impossible for computers to generate truly random numbers. I'd explain more, but I don't want to bore you with the details. Just do a wikipedia search for "random number generator" if you're really interested about it.
Which pokemon have pickup as their only ability?
Phanpy is the only Pokemon that get Pickup as an ability guaranteed; but Meowth (Technician), Aipom (Run Away), Teddiursa (Quick Feet), Zigzagoon (Gluttony), Linoone (Gluttony), Pachirisu (Run Away), Ambipom (Technician) and Munchlax (Thick Fat) get Pickup as an ability.
For my question, my friend's AR crashed on him. I know that there is a method to reset it to factory settings, but I can't remember how. Can somebody guide remind me of the process?
The only Pokemon in the game that has Pickup as its only ability is Phanpy. Other Pokemon that also have Pickup are Zigzagoon/Linoone, Pachirisu, Meowth, Aipom/Ambipon, Munchlax, and Teddiursa.

When using Choice Scarf on a Pokemon with an odd numbered Speed, does it round up?
Golden Rule of Pokemon:
All number are rounded down, so no, it doesn't round up.
...I recommend stealing them from wild Poliwhirl. They're not that hard to find.
If you want to find one via Pickup, then the Pokemon with the ability has to be within Lv11-30, and it only has a 1% chance of finding it.
So I traded over my Seadra with Dragon Scale to my Platinum game. When I chose to teach it Outrage, it wouldn't learn it. What gives?
I have the necessary amount of Shards...
I have the necessary amount of Shards...
I'm not sure if this is a simple question per se, but here goes:
My last RMT was dismissed as gimmicky because it originally had only one OU pokemon on it, and this was later replaced with a BL pokemon. My question is, how many OU pokemon does an OU team have to have before it can be classed as competitive and not gimmicky?

Its classed as competitive when it has a competitive strategy. A team worthy of being rated should be competitve and its main selling point should not be the fact that it has lower tier pokemon. I remember the RMT you were like "Look at my team with only 1 OU" if you have phrased it differently something along the lines of, just OU RMT, and simply explain how the strategy of the team works and why the BLs you are using are better than any OU is at doing the job.

When will the Skymin voting topic or the voter confirmation topic be put up, I thought it would be today?
Is it possible that the game wants different shards? Maybe someone that did research on this could help.
