on my in game garchomp(platinum run though) what would be a good last move to this set?

EQ
SD
Dragon claw
?????


I was thinking eathier fire fang or some tutor move. adamant nature btw
 
Oh sorry. I had my mind mixed up. His Lucario avatar screwed with my head. I'm sooo sorry.

I ran Fire Fang, because my T-Tar already had Crunch.
 
Trade it from D/P? I traded myself a Skarmory egg so it would hatch with my OT and obey me, it was very helpful throughout the whole game.
 
I'm not sure if anybody else is experiencing the same problem, but I notice when I go into Platinum's GTS that for example, a trader has a GLAMEOW (female) and is wanting a SHELLOS (any gender) that when I attempt to trade my shellos, I cannot seem to. Same happened when a trader has a TURTWIG (male) and wanted a GENGAR (any gender).

Is there anything different I needed to do, or is this a glitch?

how in the world did you get TTar before beating the E4 on platinum?

A) It was Pearl
B) I finished the Sinnoh dex before fighting the E4. Trained up my Gible I got from the GTS to see Garchomp, and a friend provided Spiritomb.
C) Pal Park.
D)???
E)Profit!

The Garchomp was even the T-Tar's Father. I traded up a Female, but it had crappy EVs, so I just bred a better one.
 
I noticed some defensive/support Heatran run the spread 252 HP / 16 SpAtk / 240 SpDef. Is there any particular reason it has 16 SpAtk EVs? What does that help ensure?

I don't think so, those 16 EVs are placed in sp.atk because 240 sp.def EVs are enough to ensure survival against timid gengar life orb'd focus blast and some weak surfs.
 
I heard that Platinum Giratina can be fought in Turnback Cave for a second chance if you KO it the first time. Are the IVs set on the first encounter through the story, or are they generated again?
 
questions regarding the anti hax ladder. shoddy chat isn't the best place to get questions answered, and I don't have PR access.

1. is the system being implemented this one? http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1831985&postcount=75

2. what happens after the server determines someone won through "hax"? is his/her win reversed? or does the match not count at all? or is the change in ratings decreased?

3. what happens if I flinch you with my iron head jirachi exactly 60% of the time I use it? does the hax "meter" perfectly balance out?

No, it's IVs are not set. However, I'm not sure if it's just running away or if KOing it works too. Be careful.
