I think it's better to have as low speed as possible on Wynaut. He doesn't need speed and with the low speed other Wynaut will outspeed you. This will make them run out of moves faster then you, so they Struggle sooner. This way their health will be sooner deplenished then yours, so you win.

Alright, I heard this thread for pretty great, so I'm gonna post something I was wondering for a while:
What's a great lead that's not metagross, azelf, or aerodactl that can set up rocks reliably and doesn't give away the fact that my team's rain dance? (preferably, I want a stealth-rock/u-turn guy to get rid of azelf.)

Uxie can do it. Jirachi can to, can't really think of anymore atm.
I've had the Toys 'R Us Arceus sitting in the Pokemart for a while now because I wanted to try and come up with a good nature+set for it before retrieving it. Now that I'm finally getting around to that, though, I'm having a hard time coming up with anything that could fill a niche better than the in-game Spear Pillar Arceus even when taking its event moves into account.
This Arceus learns Roar of Time, Spacial Rend, and Shadow Force, but it starts at level 100 and thus has a max of 100 EVs for any one stat instead of 255. After taking the stat drops and other factors into account, I can't see much use for any of the event moves over Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, and Shadow Claw, respectively. It also seems that this Arceus is outsped by base 102+ Pokemon that it would normally outspeed before taking natures/boosts into account (notable Uber participants among those being Garchomp, Latios, Latias, Gengar, and Infernape).
So anyway, to get to the point:

So anyway, to get to the point:
- Can this Pokemon be salvaged for at least some kind of competitive role that the normal Arceus cannot? If so, what would be an ideal nature?
- If not, what would be an ideal nature for this Arceus assuming that level 100 Pokemon could be EV trained in future games? Should I just consult its analysis page and substitute Spacial Rend for Dragon Pulse?
I think it can breed with Ditto.
Yes and no. There is nothing "Farceus" can do that a proper, fully EVable Arceus cannot. However, you cannot legitimately use the Spear Pillar Arceus yet. If you want to use Arceus on your team now, it can only be one acquired at level 100. You have to decide whether it has the stats to be worth a place on your Uber team.
Are there any pokemon from the UU tier which may be viable (not just in specific situations)? I've heard some of them are able to but have never actually researched/asked about it.
Try checking the most-recent Shoddy Battle statistics thread. The standard ladder details and usage stats will tell you how often any Pokemon, attack, item, etc. is used in OU.
As in actually useful or able to perform (to a lesser extent at the least) a role of an OU pokemon.

I'll try this out, thanks!
Anyone?
Edit:
Is this for official Baby Cup Nintendo tournaments? Because I don't see a reason to use Wynaut over Wobbuffet.
Jirachi. I find a good Rain Dance support set is:
@Damp Rock
Rain Dance
Stealth Rock
Wish/U-Turn
Thunder/Iron Head/U-Turn
You can't without the use of hacking devices or Pokesav, etc. Giving and Everstone to the Ditto (or the mother, if no ditto is involved) helps pass on the Nature of the Ditto, but since neither of the parents have what you want, you have to just take the 1/25 chance each time you hatch an egg.
The chance of not having an Adamant egg reaches 99% after 113 tries.
Get an Adamant Ditto (or mother Scyther) and give it an Everstone, then breed it with another Scyther/Scizor. If you don't have an Adamant Ditto/Scyther at all yet, use an Adamant Synchronizer to catch one.
The odds of successfully breeding an Adamant Scyther w/Technician is 25% if you do this (50% for the nature, 50% for the ability).
Jirachi is one the most common pokemon to lead with in a Rain Dance team. You could use Swampert if you don't mind losing the U-turn.
If you're trying to be unexpected then Gliscor could work for you, although a bit of a gimmick set, it can catch your opponent by suprise: Rain Dance/ U-turn/ Stealth Rock/ Roost, ....
An other option is Celebi. Even though Celebi is not often used as a lead, a Rain Dance lead is really unexpecting: Stealth Rock/ U-turn/ Rain Dance/ Reflect, ... .
If I allow Smeargle to learn Sketch for every time it can learn it, will I still be allowed to Heart Scale for it at level 100? If yes, is there a limit to the number of times I can use Heart Scale to teach Smeargle Sketch?
Sorry if my English is unclear. It's not my primary language :)

As long as Sketch is not on Smeargles learned moveset, it can be relearned with a Heart Scale. With other words if Smeargles moveset is:
Thunderbolt/ Ice Beam/ Trick/ Flamethrower it can relearn Sketch.
