I'm confused by Power Item training. If I attach the Power Bracer, then go fight Fisherman Andrew, will his Magikarp yield Attack EVs instead of Speed?

From what I understand, you'll get 1 Speed EV + 4 Attack EVs. I think.

So let me get this straight, I have to beat it, but I can catch it later?

Yes. And you can reset fully for it at that "later." The IVs and nature and such will be different from the time you meet it in Distortion World.
 
When a pokemon uses Sleep Talk and it selects Focus Punch, does it do the charge animation or still have the negative priority? I looked but I couldn't find info on it on several different sites; I am trying to test some new movesets but I want to make sure beforehand if my concepts are even possible, haha

Focus punch can not be chosen by sleep talk.
 
3 questions

1. Is it true that Ho-oh is currently being tested for OU?
2. I have seen a video on youtube that shows the counter for garchomp, does this mean garchomp may become OU again?
3. How come there isn't a agility sweeper set for scizor on smogon?
 
I need a place to train a Rhyhorn with Exp. Share in Platinum, but I can't find any good places listed on the site. Suggestions?

1. ho-oh is not currently being tested but it will be tested in the future
2. having a counter does not necessarily mean a pokemon is not uber, however, garchomp like all other suspects will be retested in stage 3
3.agility sweeper is not powerful enough, and is outclassed by SD

Just for experience in general? For Trainer battles, all the trainers in the NE Island are beast after a couple of Vs. Seekers, not to mention you can fight Gym Leaders in the Battleground and your rival outside the Battleground on weekends. After getting the National Dex, the Elite Four hops up on steroids and go into the 60s, with Cynthia's Garchomp hitting the upper 70s. I think Stark Mountain has the highest level wild Pokemon, while all the rooms after passing the third pillar in Turnback Cave have Pokemon in the 60s (I think).
 
Ok, so, I have a very simple, albeit it noobish question.

I just started playing Pokemon again and have essentially beaten platinum. My friend has done the same. We go into a wireless room to battle, both of us having full teams of 6 Lv. 100s. It says we have to have 2 level 30's or less. How do we get around this?

You must be in the Union Room, go to the Colliseum which is the room right next to it. There you can choose your rules and levels.
 
Please, help me with Jynx! Is there even a point setting-up CM in OU, or I should go Choice?

Eh, both have issues. Choice locks you into a move, so Scizor can come in on a resist and Pursuit you, while with CM you set up and then Scizor Bullet Punches. Pick your poison, though I'd go with choice personally.

What suspects have gone through stage 3 already?

None. Stage 3 isn't until all suspects are tested individually.

So all of the ubers are going to be tested?
What ones have already been tested?

No. Some ubers are "obviously uber" and won't be tested at all. Only potentially unbroken uber pokemon are being tested, and the debate is in Policy Review. So far Garchomp, Deoxys-S, Shaymin-S (all moved to ubers), Latias (OU), and Latios (remains uber) have been done. Manaphy is completed, but we're still waiting for the vote to occur.

When breeding for a specific Pokemon, what type of IVs do you recommend settling at?

It really depends on the pokemon specifically, but generally you want max speed and 25+ on all relevant stats, while the rest are still decent. If you're looking to trade, you'll need much better than what I stated as better copies exist.
 
How long does Imprison last?

From the "Moves" part of the Diamond/Pearl references:

No opponent can use any move that the user also knows. The effect is lost when the user switches out or faints. If the user shares no moves with any opponent at the time of use, Imprison fails. If the user gains new moves after using Imprison (through Mimic, Sketch, or Transform), those new moves are Imprisoned.
