No cheating at all. I'm pretty sure no one would mind you using their team unless you start saying that you came up with it.

It's perfectly fine to as some people like to see actually why some teams are so good (myself included).
Edit: Next time I don't leave tabs open like 10 minutes... -_-
1. So is there ANY competitive moveset for Mawile? I really really really wanna use this pokemon, so even if there isn't, can someone help me make the best set possible?
2. Would Icy Wind ever be a good move choice on a pokemon? Like on Gardevoir?

sd mawile first set
There is an Uber Blissey set that uses Icy Wind to lower the Speed of certain switch-ins, but other than that it is mostly outclassed by Ice Beam.
Icy wind is cool in doubles as it lowers both foes speeds
With Sucker Punch and Focus Punch, can someone help me make an "anti-lead moveset for Mawile?"
I heard you have better odds of getting a shiny egg if you breed pokemon with different language versions, so I thought I'd give that a try. But then I remembered readind somewhere that in diamond and pearl if you breed a japanese pokemon with an american pokemon the everstone doesn't work.
Is that right?
Does it work if you do it that way in Platinum?

1. My brother is gay for you.
2. Yes, because extreemspeed isn't an egg move, it's a gift pokemon.
Since Japan got 2 waves of the Secret Key and Member's Card downloads, do you all think that the US most likely be getting them again too?
Probably a simple answers but if Ditto manages to get Stat boosts from baton passes before it transforms will it keep them after it has transformed?
So for example if a Baton Pass 4+ Defence and then transform into a Deoxys will i now have a deoxys with 4+ Defence?
Also when ditto transforms does it gain the Stats of the Opponent as well as its Sprite and Moves?

Graves, I presume...
Anyway, swords dance scizor is beastly but the one I've seen more is the choice band U-turn scizor.
oops
It depends on your team. If you already have a pokemon to take care of what's weak to HP Ice, use HP Fire, and vice versa. Same with both natures, but after looking at max Hidden Power IVs, Ice would work better with Naive than Fire.
I gots a EV train question, if your lead Poke gets sent out against a Poke it does not attack, but a team kills(in singles not doubles) does it still gain evs?
Why do pokemon suddenly go UBER?
Garchomp wasn't uber until the "pokemon experts" got mad that he could sweep their team... Shouldn't real players be able to adapt?

The pokemon experts never got mad. It was banished to Ubers because it was proven to be broken. It also over centralized the metagame, making it harder to build teams that could counter the top threats. If the pokemon experts got mad, then how come they were the ones who decided to have the suspect process in the first place?
P.S. What do you mean by real players?
Pokemon are uber (or OU) after they recieve extensive play testing in the Suspect metagame, which is a separate version of the OU metagame. After several weeks of testing, qualified participants get to vote for the tiering status of the Pokemon in the Policy Review forums.
As for Garchomp, he may not be uber anymore. A private voting poll just took place and in a few days, it will be revealed whether he (as well as Manaphy, Latios, Latias, and Shaymin-Sky) will stay Uber or join OU.

They could, but it is a lot less fun for everyone's team to basically revolve around setting up their Garchomp and stopping their opponent's garchomp. Pokemon is a game that was meant to have variety in teams, and having something as powerful as Garchomp takes away that variety and ultimately makes the game less fun.
