If the "Pikachu-colored Pichu" and Jirachi events are the same as the Japanese ones (which I assume they will be), are their natures fixed, and do they have the Classic Ribbon that prevents them from being put on the GTS?

Just like this.
Was it put there simply as a joke when this site was created?

Edit: Ah damn, I didn't notice that someone else has already asked the same question (although that person was not given the proper answer). Not sure if I should keep my question or delete it just yet, but I'll just leave this up overnight to see if anyone would be willing to give a more legitimate answer.
 
Actually, I'm interested to know that (without trading, a capability I do not have).

Linoone was the best HM Slave in RuSa, Bibarel was great for DPP (albeit not as good, without Pickup), is Furret as good in HGSS?
 
Furret gets Cut, Surf, Strength, Whirlpool, and Rock Smash. So not bad I guess. However that leaves Fly, Waterfall, and Rock Climb, which I'm pretty sure nothing learns all together.
 
What's the difference between a bulky offense and a balanced playstyle? What exactly is the definition of a balanced playstyle?
 
2 questions.

1)I have a Togekiss with the following IVs:
30/17/17/27/25/31 (Bold)

I want to use it for the battle tower with the following EVs:
252Hp/172Defense/84Sp.Defense (for equal defenses)
for the flinch set with thunder wave, roost and substitute over aura sphere, advice?

2)How do I achieve 'optimal leftovers recovery' with these IVs.

Bulky offense generally contains fairly defensive pokemon that hit hard like Gyarados and Latias. Balanced has straight offensive pokemon and defensive pokemon like Lucario and Blissey.

As I have not really done much Battle Tower playing, I can't really tell you much about the set's effectiveness. As for the Leftovers, at the moment, with max hp EVs, your togekiss shoulld have 373 HP at level 100. Leftovers numbers are divisible by 16. The next lowest number belo 373 is 368. So, just give him 232 HP EVs, and you have 20 extra EVs to go somewhere else.
 
The defence IV is just too low, I'd breed for a better one. And to the above poster, you need to adjust the EVs for a lv. 50 Pkm, as the battle tower automatically lowers the level of your Pokemon. As for the set itself, it may work as long as you manage to hax the AI without getting haxed yourself...
 
Is there any ban list for people who play NFE?

I know smogon doesn't even look at NFE but i assumed someone around here plays it.

The only thing I coudl think of banned might be wynaut (obviously), scyther, and chansey. Any others that are commonly banned?
 
@mamak1 (and DJX09?): Since Battle Tower is done at level 50, you should focus on level 50 stats. At level 50, since your Togekiss has 30 HP IV (an even #), you should only have 248 HP EVs, because either way you will only get 191 HP (which is unfortunate since you barely just miss out on the leftovers #). You should use the extra 4 EVs in Speed so that you outspeed all neutral base 80 speed pkmn with no speed EVs. The other EVs can remain the same. The lower IVs won't make a difference most of the time, but, yah, I'm not sure when it will make a difference.

Well, like i said I haven't really done battle tower, but my point remains that a Leftovers number is an HP stat divisible by 16, or as close to that as possible.
 
If you use wish then U-turn will the wish be passed like it would be if you baton passed or switched normally?

Why does "Fat" appear in front of the user name?

As far as I know it was put in as a joke.

I'm not sure if RNG abuse works with gender, but that seems like your best bet. If not, just keep hatching until you get one.

It does work. When creating the PID of an egg with RNG reporter it tells you the gender the egg will be. You can use this to get an egg of a specific gender and nature first time, then save before you pick it up so you can RNG its ivs.

anything in another tier such as chansey, scyther, pikachu etc.. Dusclops and clamperl are generally banned as well.

Yes. When you use Wish, the Pokemon on your side of the field at the end of the next turn is healed. It doesn't matter how that Pokemon got there.
 
does a pokemon with flame body have to be in the first slot to reduce steps needed to hatch an egg...? i think i got some conflicting information.. help would be much appreciated
