Well the answer is Mirror coat, Encore and Counter. As soon as a pokemon switches in, Wubboffet can Encore then either counter or Mirror coat. If it is stat boosting, wubboffet switches and gives a sweeper time to K.O. and if it is a status he safeguards then switches.

Jolly, to maximize on the best stat it has (105 base Speed), so you get a quick Switcheroo (which happens to be the gayest move name ever) off. Lopunny's offensive stats are sorta crappy anyways; it should attack only in the event that it has nothing else to do.
By how much does Sticky Barb take away HP each turn?
12.5%
Thanx! ^_^
Is a linoone with extremespeed and gluttony legal?
No, it's not illegal. Get an Extremespeed Zigzagoon from Pokemon Box and then pal park it over. When you evolve it, there's a chance it will get it's new 4th gen ability.
Would Milotic and Cresselia work on the same team? They're both pretty reliable defensively and I like them.
A team of 6 tank/walls could work. It all depends on how you use them. I barely have any experience with cressy but not many people put both on the same team. It might work though. Get other opinions.
What would work with them? Blissey would be overkill for sure. I think I'll go purely defensive, but I need to find something for all six slots.
Don't just use 6 generic walls then, use ones that complent each other, like Claydol and Skarmory, or Gliscor and Magnezone/Metagross/Bronzong.
The what works with Milotic and Cresselia? I need specific asnwers...Togekiss? Scizor? Gliscor's a good idea...Steelix? I'm definitely keeping Cress and Milo.
What exactly does snatch do?
Example: You use Snatch. Your foe uses sword dance. He doesn't get the boost, you do.
Is it possible for a Charizard/Yanmega to survive with 1 HP if it switches in on a Stealth Rock for the second time?
Yes, it depends on their HP stat. Because it rounds down the damage receive, they will survive if their HP stat is odd. Similarly, with Substitute, if they want to go down to exactly 25% to activate a berry, they need an HP divisible by 4, so each sub has the same HP e.g. 296 - 74 - 74 - 74 = 74.
I'm breeding ledybas and pinsirs for trade here. Does anybody know of anyone that uses either? Because if nobody's going to trade for them, then I think I'll be better off breeding for Heracross.
Heracross is definately used. Ledian not so much.
Pinsir is fun in the lower tiers. Ledian, I am fairly confident, is NU fodder.
Just think of their typing... Cresselia is best at dealing with ground types and fighting types, as an unstabbed attack will never threaten cresselia without some serious boosting and Cressy struggles against STAB ghost, dark, and bug attacks... Steelix resists all 3 of those, and he struggles against ground and fighting, two things Cresselia can easily handle, as well as water and fire, two things Milotic will have no problem switching into.
does anyone have a link to a list of what pokemon fall into what tiers?

It's fairly accurate and used on shoddy for the most part. But since competitor is, as of yet, unreleased, tiers = not final for the D/P metagame.
When hit Super Effective, you are comparing 240 as to 140, and in Tyranitar's case, 480 to 280. Are you willing to leave that big of a drop in attack for a mere 30%? Most likely if you're not using said fighting move, then it probably shouldn't be carrying one in the first place as Thunderbolt, Hidden Power Ice, Shadow Ball does it well enough with Hypnosis, Destiny Bond or anything else.
