Naive is generally recommended as most priority in OU is Physical, but it really depends on what you plan on using it to check. If it's just a stand alone sweeper then Naive is usually the better choice.
Yes, that sounds reasonable. I've just always liked the idea of ending up with a super-bulky Defence and Sp.Defence x2 Suicune.
I suppose I could try Sub on Suicune. His fourth move (Tailwind) is kind of filler. It's kind of helped me out of a bind, especially in doubles, but more often than not it wears off when I need it most.
EVs Max Out at 510, 508 just happens to be the closest divisible by 4 number. People leave out the 2 extra EVs.
No, as far as I know. I've been in the same situation and even using Power items on both parents, the odds of the offspring getting the desired IVs seemed to be about a 5% chance (just going by my own results). With some offspring, the Power items seemingly didn't even work at all, giving entirely random IVs. The best way seems to be your method: with using just one Power item, the offspring should be guarenteed that IV.
Btw, it appears Everstone Nature passing works with males:

Good luck.
Is there any good method to getting a Lucky Egg in Platinum?
Also, can someone point me out to that applet that lets you see which Pokemon resist certain attacking combinations? I've Googled with no results; I know Haunter (or someone) posted it earlier in this thread but I'd rather not skim through pages of answers and questions.
In HGSS, If you want to 'collect' trainers to battle in the Trainer House in Viridian City, can you get more than one trainer with the same trainer ID?
To elaborate, if you connect with another trainer on the Pokewalker, then leave, come back and connect again, do you get two different trainers in the trainer house?

This has been discussed recently in the Smogon research thread as well.
Just to clarify, you want to connect to a PokeWalker to get the Trainer in the Trainer House, leave the TH, come back, connect again to the same Trainer, and see if it's a different Trainer? From what I understand, that doesn't work. My friend and I connect on a daily basis, and there's only ever one Trainer, the team is just updated by what they last had.
Edit@Antar: I wonder why it took so long for it to be considered ...
Edit@PhredLevi: Yeah, that's what I was going to do, but I'm just grinding for the E4 so no PokeRadar for me yet. Thanks though.
Lead with a fainted compoundeyes Pokemon in 1st and a Frisk/Thief Pokemon in second, and then chain Chansey with the Pokeradar.
The southern part of route 209 has a nice large patch of grass that is optimal for chaining in.
You're obviously forgetting Tyranitar, and maybe the occasional Umbreon, that's about it though
So why does the Deoxys-S analysis say "Dark-heavy Uber metagame"? Just for trying to make Psychic look bad (again)?
Also, is it true to say Darkrai benefits from it's Dark-typing? Is it also true Mewtwo mainly uses Aura Sphere, that is resisted by the ultra-common Psychic-type, ot revenge-kill it wiothout the use of Choice Scarf?

Thank you to master ball to reminding me of tyranitar. As for your first question, I'm not sure. Pherhaps check with the person who wrote the analasys?
As for the second question, yes, it does, since half the tier is psychic types, plus girantina, it has super effective hits on most of the tier.
The only really common fighting moves are Darkrai's focus blast, and Mewtwo's aura sphere. Dialga can also carry it, but prefers fire blast to roast steels. Darkness for sure.
Okay, I am trying to get a specific pokemon that needs a lot of steps on the pokewalker, and I am just not getting it. I keep getting the same ones over and over. I have over 10000 steps.
I heard there was some method to change how the pokemon are determined on the thing by returning from a stroll? Do you just turn in your gifts or return your pokemon back to reset it? If I return from a stroll, does it reset the step counter? I don't want to walk 10000 more steps, it's painful! :)

You have to return your Pokemon every time you want to find new Pokemon. If you return from a stroll, the step counter doesn't change but the Watts get transfered over, which means that you'll have to walk more anyway.
Yes.
I haven't tried it myself, but when I accidentally beat Ho-Oh the first time, the Kimono Girls told me he'd come back if I wanted.
So... yes?
Does anyone know if any of the Kanto starters are useful for breeding any good egg moves onto competitive Pokémon? I need to get Kyogre in my HG game, but need to choose my Kanto starter before I do so, and am wondering if I should bother RNGing for one of them, since none of them are that great in OU/ubers.
