Only Latias? Or is there someone else?

Zangoose was banned on theorymon, I would say. Garchomp, on the other hand, is a completely different story. It was tested in practice, and found clearly Uber. If you want the reasons, look at http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45619&page=2.
This was answered by BlackBlastoise. MOST nfes were banned because they were considered too similar to their evolved counterparts (played in the same way). Many people didn't want UU to be OU lite (playing with the nfes of the OU Pokémon).
"Unique" nfes like pikachu (light ball sweeper) and scyther (and maybe trapinch) were allowed. These pokes played differently, so UU could be a unique metagame.
Then I believe Obi argued that all nfes had either a different hp or speed stat which provides some advantage over its counterpart (trick room, leech seed, pain split, grass knot).
I have a breeding question (egg hatching question). The breeding guide says that the step counter is reset every 256 steps. When this occurs, the game checks if there are eggs on your team. If the egg counter is not 0, it gets decreased by 2. If the egg counter is 0 or less, the egg hatches. If you are carrying more than one egg, all egg counters are checked starting from the topmost one.
Quote:
If that egg's egg counter is not zero, it is decreased accordingly (by 2 if you have a Magma Armor/Flame Body Pokémon, or by 1 otherwise), and the next egg is checked. If it is zero, then that egg hatches, and the other eggs’ counters are not checked or decreased. This means that you cannot hatch two or more eggs simultaneously, but you need to wait at least 256 steps (255 in DP) between a hatching egg and another.
Here is the question: if I place the newest eggs with the highest egg counters at the top of the party (30,30,30,2,0), will they be reduced before the low counters hatch (preventing some of the extra steps usually required when hatching multiple eggs). The breeding guide doesn't mention this, but I am hoping that the above egg counters would become (28,28,28,0, hatch). Placing the low counters at the top would result in (hatch, 2, 30, 30, 30). If the first case holds true, it would save some time. I am hoping to avoid testing this myself because I don't know much about egg counters and I find it difficult to pay close attention while breeding. Thanks.
The ability change isn't random (unless it's imported from ADV). If you know that those abilities become those ones, then that's what it is.
what are some good colors to use in a Warstory? I was thinking red and blue but it seems that some people don't like those colors
Black, Bolded text, Indigo and Navy, from my experience. The fancy coloured fonts just distract and detract from your writing.
thanks. I'll be putting one up soon hopefully
Is Rotom-C UU?
why is a number with a 9 minimum life orb damage
You lose 10% of your HP, rounded down, from Life Orb-holding damaging attacks. Attacking 10 times (assuming no attacks hit the Pokemon using them, or no other recoil damage) with XX9 HP leave 9 HP. Attacking 10 times with XX0 HP causes self-KO due to Life Orb damage.
should i lower my lucario's hp for minimum life orb damage, its only two points
He means the IVs because from 31 to 29 and in my opinion it is not worth it.
