IIRC, as soon as Drizzle activates, Swift Swim activates.

Actually, it only checks the pokemon you are using in your party/BBox. IIRC, I talked to Mike Liesik of TPCi at vgc and he said the battle box has a built in general hack checker. I've gone to GBU and even vgc with hacked pokes in my boxes and I passed easily.
As far as I know it is not possible to use 4th-gen-Pokemon with TM moves in competitive battles, right?
1. An example: Skarmorys of the last generation could learn Roost via TM. Those (Skarmorys) are not allowed this generation, right?
2. Is it possible to pass DW-abilities via breeding?
If both isn't possible, it'll be extremely hard to get Roost-Skarmory with decent IVs and nature nowadays.

1) im pretty sure you can use fourth and even third generation exclusive moves in competitive battling this gen just dont use tutor moves from past generations with gen 5 egg moves
2) yes but the poke with the ability has to be female
Whooops, looks like I've messed up with the terms.
2. Is it possible to pass DW-moves via breeding? I think I've got it this time.
1. I wasn't talking about Wifi. Of course, Roost-Skarmory from the last generation is perfectly legit, but invalid in flat battles, the competitive form of battles these days, right or not.

1) unless they are egg moves i dont think so
2) strange... never had any problem using them in flat battles
(assuming you mean GBU)
Edit: grass knot hits jellicent for 100 power, 200 actually cause jellicent is weak to grass
Going into a little bit more detail than MoltenKyurem:
2. They can be passed only if they are level-up moves for the baby, tm's the baby can learn, or breeding moves.
1. No, you are not correct. As Skarmory can legally know Roost provided it was taught the move last gen or was caught in the Dreamworld (though, in the latter case, it would have the less than optimal ability Weak Armor). The only reason such a Skarmory would be illegal would be...
a.) if it knew a new breeding move from gen 5, however Skarmory got no new breeding moves this gen that it couldn't learn somehow in a previous gen.
b.) if it knew either of its dreamworld exclusive moves (drill peck or roost) along with any move it can only learn through breeding and had its dreamworld ability Weak Armor.
Jellicent weighs 135 kg, so grass knot hits with 100 BP (which is too weak to OHKO it most of the time).
I would like to do some calcs, when I'll find a good calculator.
Swift Swim does not activate on the turn the weather changes. If you have a slower Ludicolo against a slightly faster Gliscor, then the turn you switch in Politoed, Gliscor will attack first.
Furthermore, this applies to everything that alters speed. If you paralyze an opponent, they aren't slowed down until the next turn. And Tailwind would just be broken if it took effect immediately.
So when I'm looking around at trade shops and requests I constantly see the term "BP", such as "Now providing BP" or "Looking for someone to BP (insert pokemon name)". My question is what is BP? Is it not Battle Points?
BP refers to Breeding Project. You ask someone to breed a Pkmn for you in exchange for something.
Just enough to KO Victini with Sucker Punch or switch-Pursuit.
I'm not sure how much that is though.
^220 attack evs with a neutral nature guarantees an OHKO after SR, but that seems a bit excessive. 4th gen strategy dex suggests 100 atk evs to guarantee an OHKO against Dugtrio.
Is there any sort of calculator that helps with EV spreads? i.e. How many SDef EVs do I need to run on X to survive draco meteor from Y or how many speed evs are needed to outspeed pokemon X
uhhh do you mean POKEMON BATTLES? if so the guys use an emulator to do so :P
MY question How do you corrupt a saved game file on Emerald the reason I ask is becuase i was playing earlier and when i tried to save BOOM! it corrupted :S
