I'm using a sleep talk toxi-staller as a way to absorb status, then inflict some of my own, but I have no idea what I could use alongside her!

I assume this is a UU stall team? Chansey works well alongside Milotic because Milotic can generally handle the special threats that can can set up on Chansey (not so sure about the new Np Mismagnius, you'll have to run some calcs on that!) by using haze to remove their stat boosts. Roserade is another pokemon who works well alongside Milotic because she can easily switch in on the Electric and Grass attacks that Milotic hates so much.
Since you didn't post whether its an OU or UU team here's what you can do if its OU
I really think a defensive Celebi can fit in quite well as it resists Milotic's weaknesses. Here's the set:
Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/220 Def/36 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Grass Knot
- Recover
- Reflect/Leech seed
- Hidden Power [Fire]
---
Grass Knot is for some assurance against Tyranitar, and Scizor is fired with HP fire. As these two are physical threats with deadly STABs(and they both often carry Choice Bands) they can be trouble for Milotic. Reflect is there to help Milotic's mediocre defense or you could use Leech Seed to chip away at the opponent with Leech seed/Toxic and entry hazards you'd want to place.
Celebi is also another of my favorites--the team should be totally OU, except for Milotic, who I believe will become the next suspect eventualy... However, the team is also meant to be ingame/wifi, so my chances of getting Celebi until HG and SS are slim! Any other suggestions? At one point I was thinking of having a Milotic, Blissey, Cresselia, Forretress wall lineup with two sweepers!
I can't connect to the friggin' Smogon server on Shoddy. It says "An error occurred while attempting to connect to the server: Connection timed out: connect"
every time I try. what should I do?
NVM. Managed to connect after about 20 minutes

Milotic and Umbreon are definitely on my stall team right now, does anybody else have more suggestions that are possible ingame?
I have alot of questions about EV training.
I've read a bunch of different threads about it, but still dont understand it completely. I've been trying to train my Dragonite in the Speed stat. I battled like 50 Staravia's and pikachu's in the Trophy garden. My dragonite is level 30, and when he leveled up he didnt gain much in the speed stat. Are EV's hidden in the game? Is there anyway I can see them?? Does the pokemon need to level up in order for the EV traning to take effect??

Yes, not really, yes (EVs take effect gradually as the Pokemon levels up, only reaching their full effect at Level 100).
Milotic: Surf/Rest/Toxic/Sleep Talk
Umbreon: Curse/Wish/Protect/Payback
Could these two make a stable defensive core?

Umbreon, because is far more capable to defensively stall out if needed and also, why Sleep Talk Toxic on a Posioned Pokemon?
Is there a easy way to do this? What's a good level to start training? Going to level 100 on a ton of pokemon just seems exausting.
I was asking if both could efficiently work... The idea, is that they switch to a counter and get toxiced again, or lose the stall battle...
In Wifi battles, they have an auto-level feature that automatically calibrates your pokemon's stats as though it were level 100.
I tend to find the easiest place to level up is the Elite 4 (especially when you get past level 50-60, you can gain about two-levels a run) or the grassy areas to the west of Battle Tower, using the VS Seeker.
With an ivs calculator, I prefer this one: http://veekun.com/dex/calculators/iv
is the advanced pokedex search tool in marriland updated with the HGSS additions? it's a bit hard to distinguish the new moves for pokemon here in smogon
Okay everybody, I don't have any time on my hands, so I need y'all to help me pick pokemon for my stall team! Keep in mind, this is an ingame team, so special events and movesets aren't at all usable... My Shiny Milotic is the centerpiece of this team and her set as well as membership will be a given...
Milotic @ Leftovers
Evs: 252 HP/240 Defense/16 Special Defense
Calm Nature
- Surf
- Toxic
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Alright, keep in mind that I prefer UU and NU pokemon but this stall team will be in a primarily UU environment... Sets and spreads aren't needed, so much as I just need you to pick five pokemon that'l naturally work well this Milotic and with each other...

That's three... Can you get me three more? It's UU stall in OU!
Then you are destined to fail.
There are plenty of OU pokemon on the list too... I'm pretty sure Roserade and Milotic can do just fine in OU... Can someone just follow my exact instructions? Please!
unfortunately in the standard metagame its not really about using favorites and Pokemon which look cool. Its really about strategy and making the right choices, if you want to make a team for just plain old fun, then certianly use any Pokemon, outclassed or standard, but if its for serious compeitive play, then I suggest you try out standard Pokemon made for defensive play. Lucario, PorygonZ are just not right for Stall when there are much better options. So I suggest using more standard Pokemon and not outclassed ones.
Hey, I was EV training my coffing and the next day I lost my piece of paper with it's EV's on it! :( And I was wondering if there are any method to find out how many EV's my pokemon has if you loose track
