How do characteristics work when you have more than one 31 iv? Is there an order that they're applied in (Alert to sounds trumps Often dozes off, or whatever), or is it chosen randomly from those that could apply?

Its random.
My understanding of tiers is that the OU tier is developed by popularity, and not by "power". So you can only have a true OU metagame when you have a handy dandy list of the most popular pokemon.
Metagame, by definition, is:
Wikipedia Article said:
The metagame won't really develop until Competitor comes out, because until then, we can't really see what works well. I beleive tiers are determined by both the pokemon's usage and its maximum potential in battle, and that will all become more apparent as time passes on. Anyway, I think that an entirely new tiers system is being thought up right now, so I don't know how things will work out.
When you Wish, you don't have to use Baton Pass in conjunction with it to heal the incoming pokemon, right?
Is there some sort of article on Competitor that I can read?
Will it be like Shoddy, or will you have to train your own guys in-game and use the DS's wifi to battle? (man, I haven't played Diamond in so long...)
And what will be so different about it that will allow us to finally determine tiers?

Alright. Just wanted to make sure before I work on a Wisher. Thanks.
In a Rain Dancing Team, Qwilfish is twice as fast w/ Swift Swim. If he gets hit, he has a chance of poisoning the opponent. Frankly, if another in your team can set up Rain Dance (Ludicolo, Kyogre), stick with Swift Swim.
I would go with Swift Swim. Poison Point only inflicts regular poison and there's only 30% chance it will work, which IMO makes it a pretty bad ability.
Lol you quoted me during shoddy.
Does Magic Guard really stop the damage you'd get from Belly Drum? If so, why don't people use Clefable?

The thing is, those guys won't exactly stay in on Cacturne, so there may not be a need to outrun them anyways.
Make sure your hp is not divisible by 4. so if you have 401 hp for example, your subs would be 100 each and then you would have 1 hp.
Beware of all side stuff though such as stealth rock, sandstorm, and hail. But that is how you do it barring any outside effects.
EDIT: Beaten. What he said.
Roar/whirlwind goes through substitutes. Ninjask would be switched, and the sub gone.
