Is Wobbuffet at all effective in the battle tower? It seems like it could have some uses, but it's hard to say.

It grants neither benefits nor demerits. It's good if you like it.
Hmm, so I've heard people say that in Pokemon XD you can't SR for the legendary birds that you can catch at the end of the game, that you just catch them and it saves. BUT, wouldn't it be possible to have them be knocked out and then Mirror B. would get them, thus you could SR for them through him.
Or, would the IVs just be set in stone the first time you meet them?
I'm thinking of going though XD again but all I really want is Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno, Togepi, Lugia, and Dragonite so I want to make sure I can actually get the birds I want.

IVs are determined when encountered. You knock them out, they actually stay in Greevil's possession, not fleeing to Miror B. The game saves, and now you're stuck with the IVs, but after the end of game, not before. So, unless you want it in a specific Ball (XD Articuno in a Dive Ball, no control over IVs/nature), then go for it.
And now I'm tempted to Dive Ball an XD Articuno.
Aw darn. Now I don't kn ow if I really want to replay it...
Thanks for the help!

What would you recommend to someone that's not really new at Pokemon (I know about EVs and somewhat IVs and natures and whatnot), but that's new here?

Play shoddybattle.
Anyone know of a good sprite resource for all the available Poke Balls in DPP? How about a Trainer ID calculator to see what 4 avatars you get to pick based on the Trainer ID?
Edit: Thanks LR, now I just need to find a sprite resource to help me decide which Poke Balls look the coolest for me to catch stuff in.
serebii.net has a listing of poke balls, under Platinum > Items > Poke balls
http://serebii.net/platinum/items.shtml, about halfway down the page.
Planning to reset for your ID until you get a sprite you like? lol

There're also these, made by yours truly, that I don't mind people using in trade threads and things as long as I get an acknowledgment. Pretty good representation of the Balls.
Familiarize yourself with the Platinum tutors and forms? Eat three square meals a day, and get plenty of rest? Practice, practice, practice?
Is Smogon still coming out with its own D/P/P battle simulation, or is Shoddy known as the universal simulator?
As in competitive, if you know how to use him and you are a master of prediction, its a good adittion but i shall say no.
There are a lot of pokemons better than wobuffet.
Yes there are.
To find them you need to google them.

Just put "pokemon" and then the ball youre lookin for :)
@LR: I always thought that the advantage of using expert belt t-tar was so you could feign choice band, then get a surprise KO when they thought you were locked into pursuit (and thus switching)...but this probably wouldn't work as well with stealth rock. I guess I would just go with crunch, stone edge, and fire punch/earthquake, depending on if you fear metagross or scizor more.
Focus Sash Wobby perhaps?
@ die eter: I personally like the CB set, as its powerful Ice Shard, Wood Hammer, Earthquake, and Focus Punch really help. Plus, nothing says "lol sup" to a Tyranitar like eating a CB Focus Punch.
I've seen Scarfed MixSnow before, and it doesn't do too badly, but the CB has always worked best for me.
Alternately, High Rating - Low Rating / 2.

Low rating + high rating / 2 is your rating. Subtract the low rating from your result to get your deviation.
Alternately, High Rating - Low Rating / 2.
If the foe Pokémon uses Pursuit on the same turn U-turn is used, Pursuit will deal normal damage if the foe is faster, or double damage if the foe is slower than the user.
