No one will trade for hacks in the Wi-Fi forum, trust me.

You theoretically can as long as you tell people what codes you used, but you'll get a lot of flak for it. Just don't do it and breed the legit way.

EDIT;;
Hmmm, so another question on the issue of a mixed T-Tar. Is it ok to forgo Ice Beam for Stone Edge (so the set would be Fire Blast / Stone Edge / Earthquake / Crunch)? Reading the rest of it, it seems to be for Gliscor, Flygon and Hippo, all of whom I rarely see on Wi-Fi (at least where I battle) and I think STAB would be much more useful. Any input from anyone?

Dont forget Salamence. I think Ice Beam is there since Stone Edge wont OHKO Salamence after Intimidate (im not sure though).
Also, Stone Edge is mainly for flyers, Ice Beam covers that.
I think Stone Edge is nice for things like Gyarados which can stop your sweep.
If you plan to use Stone Edge, i would consider dropping some Special Attack EVs and adding more Attack, seeing how you now only have Fire Blast to hit from the special side.

Thats IMO though
 
Did calcs, and 252 SpA Fire Blast does 98% or so to Metagross with LO, OHKOs with rocks down. I'm considering going 252 Atk / 252 SpA (people hate 252 / 252 spreads here) but it looks logical. The analysis one runs 24 Speed for some reason.

I'll do more calcs, but I'm sure STAB is enough to wscare Salamence away. Any more input?

Hmmm, maybe the Speed EVs are to ensure outspeeding a Skarmory and OHKOing with Fire Blast ._.

I mean, for battling. I had no intention of trading them.
Because I heard there are judges that check for hacks and/or people online for Wifi tournaments.

I dunno, I just really don't want to spend ALL day breeding since I don't have that kind of time.
 
@Rey: Oh, I see. o.o; But since its speed IV is 0, I won't invest in speed.

@Sandstorm: In that event, it's ok. Just put in your sig or state before the match you're using legal hacks.
 
how does the ability mold breaker work?
does it's effect only occur in the switch-in?
or is it that any pokemon facing Pinsir or Rampardos will always have there ability negated??
 
Can I get a confirmation/unconfirmation on whether or not Synchronize works on legendaries and semi-legendaries? I'm having like 13% of caught Rotom be Modest as is my Synchronizer (This is in Platinum), and I'm really annoyed at Synchro not working like it should.

Also, can Rotom breed with Ditto? Serebii indicates yes, but I'd rather trust an answer from Smogon...
 
Does any one have a fake Emerald Version that can Pal Park?I have read somewhere before that fake GBA games wont work with Diamond and Pearl and the save files will be deleted.
 
What is Stage 3?

From the thread "Order of Operations":
Stage 1: Analysis of a single Suspect in a suspect-free standard metagame

Stage 2: Our assessment of Uber or OU for any Suspect's impact on a suspect-free metagame, following the respective Suspect's completion of Stage 1.

Stage 3: Analysis of all the Suspects in the standard metagame with the knowledge of which are considered Uber and OU in a Suspect-free metagame.
Is a Pokemon legit if I used hack parents to breed it.

Again, we're not supposed to talk about hacks, and anyway, no, the offspring is considered hacked as well.

A) Yes, it works. I'm not entirely sure but I believe that ADV Pokemon with Synchronize won't work. Must be 4th gen.

B) Yes.

Not every ability gets negated. Abilities that activate immediately after switching in, like Intimidate and Sandstream, still work.

It does work on Emerald. But not in any other 3rd gen game.
 
thanks for the answers regarding mold breaker..
before i thought it works only on the switch in, like how intimidate works
you switch-in rampardos, bronzong's levitate is negated, but if they switch out to a gengar, EQ will miss.. now i understand that this is not the case..
any pokemon facing rampardos and pinsir will always have their ability negated (those that affect damage, that is)
 
skill swap question #1:
provided that my Drifblim (or any double-type) acquired the ability color change by skill swapping it from a kecleon
then kecleon hit him with a fire punch..
what will my drifblim's type be?

a. ghost-fire
b. fire-flying
C. just fire
d. none of the above
 
skill swap question #2:
provided that my Drifblim (or any double-type) acquired the ability forecast by skill swapping it from a castfom while hail is falling
what will my drifblim's type be?

a. ghost-ice
b. ice-flying
C. just ice
d. none of the above

In this case, it'd become pure Fire.

For your second question, Forecast doesn't do anything if something other than Castform has it. So your Drifblim would still be Ghost/Flying, and hail would still hurt it. All you would accomplish would be stopping Castform from changing.
