What is the best Spread for a Relaxed serene grace blissey with I beam, charge beam, (toxic/flamethrower/lightscreen), softoboiled blissey, also if you could select one of the (toxic/flamethrower/lightscreen) and tell me why would you put it in the set
Hm, that's not very simple now is it :P
Well for move choice, I wouldn't pick Light Screen. Nothing coming into Blissey is going to be special. Flamethrower or Toxic is completely up to you. Flamethrower provides more coverage for something like Scizor, but I would think that the status would cause your opponent more trouble with things such as Swampert and Tyranitar.
252 defense is a must.
I'm a little clueless on what you'd be trying to hit though. With 176 SpA, you can almost OHKO a 0/0 Salamence (but will with passive damage from something like Sandstorm). Anymore than that seems pointless (unless I know a specific threat). Put the rest in SpD.

Plug in the Hidden Power you want (and the power), then pick a combination, then cycle through the stat that you don't want.
Alternatively, you can just keep subtracting 4 from the stat you don't want until you get a valid combination. This will keep the power and type.

When you change the Hidden Power type on a special attacker, just keep lowering the attack IV by 4 until it's legal. If you need your attack stat, just lower any other IV by 4.
As for your specific question:
Raikou - Hidden Power Grass Timid: 2 Atk / 30 SpA
Shaymin - Hidden Power Fire Modest: 26 Atk / 30 SpA / 20 Spe
all other IVs are 31.
edit: damn veed ;(

I have a Turtwig that I plan to train into a Tank...it has godly HP, Defense, Special Defense, and Speed...
but the only problem is, its Attack IV is mediocre, and it needs to be able to 2hko most Flying types [specifically Salamence, Xatu] and Ice types [specifically Glaceon and Froslass] with Stone Edge...is it possible to do so even with like a 9 Attack IV?
I'm maxing out EV's in HP and about 220ish in Defense. The rest I plan on putting in Special Defense or Speed. Possibly Attack, if that's the extra points I need to do some needed damage.

Hm, you didn't include a nature, but I'll assume it's neutral attack. Assuming 0/0 for the opposing pokemon.
Vs. Salamence: 51.3% min
Vs. Xatu: 70.1% min
Vs. Glaceon: 48.7%-57.5%
Vs. Froslass: 67.6% min
You'll be 2HKOing all of them with Glaceon having a slim chance at surviving. Salamence usually doesn't invest anything defensively (unless it's bulkyMence, which doesn't attack), but look out for Fire Blast. So, depending on how many EVs Glaceon invests in her defenses (I really don't know about that), you're safe unless there's another threat you're unsure about.

What is "Volatility" (obviously the same root as volatile) on Shoddy and how is it calculated?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Does Magic Coat reflect Taunt and Stealth Rock?
Is it true that 1 point in a defensive stat (defense or special) is equivalent to 4 points of hp when taking damage?
I'm talking about actual stats not evs.

@DarK LamenT: No, it doesn't. When asking questions about moves, you can use this page. This basically saves you time ;)
@TVboyCanti: It is basically equivalent (difference is a fraction). At least that's what CoH's damage calculator says.

Thanks. ^_^
I did look there, but it didn't specifically say Taunt, so I wanted to make sure.
So are you saying 1 point of hp = 1 point of defense?
I'm saying what you said. 1 Defense point is about 4 HP points (Stats, not EVs).
alright i've been having a strange thing happen to me whilst EV training.
i've found that when i get a stat to 252, if i have to reduce it with berries for some reason, the stat/EV drop is HUGE, like 20 points, as opposed to the ostensible 2 points that a 10EV drop would incur.
wtf?
it confounded me for a long time until i realized what was going on.
now it's just annoying. =/

Oh, that.
If you use one of those berries on a stat with over 100 EVs, one use will reduce the number of EVs to 100. For a stat with 100 EVs or less, it will reduce the number of EVs by ten per use.
isn't right clicking on macs just holding down the Apple button and clicking?
