does anybody know if a togikiss with tri-attack and nasty plot is legal because i jsut faced one on the wifi battle tower
 
About the Power items (Band, Bracer, etc): Do they only add EVs of a certain stat when facing a pokemon that gives EVs in the same stat (i.e. facing Starly for Speed with Power Ankle gives 5 EVs in Speed), or does it not matter what you face (I.e. facing Starly gives 1 EV in Speed and 4 in ATK)?
 
yes, power items are affected by pokerus.
like, if you fight the magikarp dude on route 205 with pokerus and the power item for speed, his team gives out 60 speed ivs.
 
If you use Mean Look or Block and then switch your Pokemon is the Block still in effect or would it need you need to use Baton Pass to keep it in place?
 
can you breed two dittos?because i have a ditto with 31 in att and speed and i have another one with 31 in def and hp and i want to put them together so i can a have a great breeding partner

I wouldn't think so. It wouldn't do much damage, and without stab, rock isn't a great attacking type to begin with. Here's a damage calc:
256 attack vs 236 defense, 70 power(*2), 384 max HP: 28.65% - 33.85%
It's not even a 3hko.
Gyarados can easily hurt you a lot with earthquake, especially if you switch in when it dragon danced, taunt spoils you too as it prevents you from wishing.

Thx that helps. I guess I see a difference NOW
 
what are the downsides of using destiny bond? what are the counters for it?

am i right in thinking if the opponent doesnt have status's or weather to finish me off then destiny bond is pretty much gonna work?

for a more clear picture, im thinking of using a focus sash gengar w/ counter and destiny bond... lets say everything has gone to plan and im left with a 1hp gengar and i plan on using destiny bond on whatever my opponent brings in. am i right in thinking if theres no status's such as toxic/burn or weather then my destiny bond will definitely work with no drawbacks?

just want to know if theres anything i want to be looking out for :)

Well, your opponent is probably going to try to send in something faster/ scarfed, and if the opponent is faster DB isn't gonna work because you won't be able to get it off. If you catch the opponent off guard it should work, but you have to be careful of letting your opponent setting up as well, such as stealth rocks/Calm Mind/DD when you DB and once you've DB'd, they're onto you and will probably try to outstall you. (Remember, DB only has 5 PP with no PP ups)

which is easier to breed, hp ground or hp fighting, and which altaria is a bigger threat in the lower tiers, specs-taria, or DD taria

Hmmm.... I would consider a support Altaria would work the best in the lower tiers, but DD is better IMO.

Dynasty, it will pass down the IVs so that you have a chance of getting perfect HP / Attack / Defense / Speed. However, HP is the hardest to pass down, beware

Does Facade get a boost from self-induced sleep i.e. Rest?

Kinda, you can only inherit 3 separate stats from the parents, the rest are random. You just have to have patience :)
