Why isn't NetBattle listed under simulators in the DPP resource thread?
Not really. Smogon doesn't list the means by which Pokemon learn their moves, so you still have to reference other material if you're playing the actual games.
Because as far as I know netbattle si still quite bugged and, anyway, Smogon only hosts a shoddy battle server.
you might find this useful.
1 more thing. Are there any plans for Smogon to recognize NFE as a playable tier? Its pretty popular on WiFi and Netbattle.
I doubt it. But it could be possible.
I believe double battles will become more popular once Shoddy 2 introduces it. As double battles aren't that popular here unless you count VGC.
When does shoddy 2 to release?
It was a D/P glitch, fixed in Pt and HG/SS, and consequently, Shoddy.
No one knows. Colin and Bearzly (and maybe Doug too, now) are all hard at work, doing all the patch-up work and such. They've finished most of the actual work, but fine-tuning and all that is important, and despite its seeming insignificance, it's quite important, and takes some time.
I'm pretty sure they could, but I'm no expert on how.
You just need to ask a person kindly who has an AR to check you SID and trade them a pokemon they'll check & trade back if wished and tell you your SID.
^ You do not need an AR to find your SID... You need a random shiny.
Finding someone with an AR is a lot more likely than finding an unchained shiny. :P
ZagZag, I'd ask in the WiFi forums' Simple Questions thread. You'll definitely get a reply there.
Not sure if this qualifies as a "simple" question, but:
Which Nintendo events were Japan-exclusive, and they have moves, items, etc. that were otherwise unobtainable outside of Japan?
I can think of these:
- All Gen III games: Enigma Berry "transformations" on Japan-only e-cards
- Emerald: Soft-resettable Mew on Faraway Island
- Yokohama event: non-Hardy Surfing Pikachu in Gen IV
- Tanabata 2008 event: Jaboca Berry
(HG/SS excluded since as of now they have not been released outside of Japan)
Any others?

It really doesn't matter at all, I'd do defense, but it's only one point

Last 4 should go in Special Defense, Marowak's defense is already much higher.
If two Pokémon from different languages breed, the egg has a 4x chance of being shiny.
Normal chance is 1/8192, so this would be 1/2048.
I'll try to help you here:
1) If your pokemon is going to be holding Leftovers, it is most beneficial to have an HP stat that is divisible by 16, because leftovers recovers 1/16 of a pokemon's HP each turn, rounded down. I.e. if your pokemon has 159 HP, it will recover only 9 HP each turn, whereas 160 HP will recover 10.
2) If your pokemon is holding life orb, you will want your pokemon to have an HP stat ending with a 9, because again, life orb (10%) recoil rounds down. I.e. A pokemon that has 159 HP loses only 15 HP after attacking while a pokemon that has 160 HP loses 16 HP after attacking.
3) Substitute: If your pokemon is holding a pinch berry, it then depends on whether you want your berry to activate after 3 substitutes or 4 substitutes. 4 Subs is generally for moves like Reversal (whose base power increases with lower HP), but in most other cases (like Petaya, Liechi, Salac) it is better to activate the berry after 3 subs. If you want to activate berry after 3 subs, HP should be divisible by 4.
Sometimes people want to have HP divisible by 16, plus 1, just so they can switch an extra turn into stealth rock. That's probably not too big of a deal in most cases.
For Breloom (Toxic Orb Poison Heal), you want to have HP divislble by 8 instead of 16 (or 8, plus 1 or whatever), because Poison recovers 1/8 HP instead of 1/16.
Likewise, for Flame Orb Guts pokemon, it might be good to have HP divisible by 8 minus 1 so you lose less health for each turn. Of course, it's probably not a huge deal.
That's about all the basics I can think off the top of my head. So, just use your judgment and calculator.
