Ok, I have 2 Questions:
Is it a good idea to use entry hazards in 3v3?
Should I teach my Rapidash Low Kick or Double Kick?

1. No in 3v3 entry hazards are much less useful, because there is often less switching
2. Low Kick is better since Rock types tend to be heavy and double kick got bad Base Power.
Don't know, but Venusaur sounds better.
Two sleep clause questions:
1) If I encore someone into spore, and they put two of my Pokémon to sleep by staying in have they violated sleep clause?
2) If one of the opponent's Pokémon is already asleep, then it tries to put one of mine to sleep, but I predict this and switch out into a Pokémon with magic mirror and reflect it, have I violated sleep clause or did my opponent put himself to sleep?

I see thx!
I thought that in 4th gen Toxicroak could learn Drain Punch via TM but apparently it doesn't...
What are some good partners to CM Latias? Im considering Magnezone because it can destroy Steels, Forretress because it can wall Outrages and Draco Meteors and set up Toxic Spikes so later in the game Latias can just stall them out, and finally Lucario because of Justified which raises its attack when hit by Dark type moves (Pursuit) and STAB Close Combat wrecks steels. Any other ideas are absoulutely aceeptable as well.
No and no. They really have no other option except to spre on the first example. Also the sleep reflect is not directly putting the pokemon to sleep. Its indirect.
Well, ever since rotom lost its ghost typing it has always gone on the offensive. Trick choice rotom is a beast. However, rotom can still be viable with a bold/calm nature since it has high defenses and WOW
If in the sun, venusaur. If not, sceptile. Speed is a huge deal when you are subseeding.
I personally recommend infernape because it takes out all the pursuit users that would otherwise kill Latias such as scizor, tyranitar, and weavile. Another good pokemon is conkeldurr, who can check these three threats as well.
It says that whenever you quote anyone. You can see that throughout the forums.
I'm assuming you're using this in RU? Rock Slide would probably be a smart move for coverage against Bug and Flying types which frequent this tier. Or you could use Substitute which would be useful after you Trick away the Band so you could better utilize Focus Punch and Sucker Punch.
Adamant Multiscale Dragonite v. Timid Hydreigon
Assume they both have flawless IVs and No EVs
Which is more versatile?

Dragonite, simply because of it's massive movepool. The list of what it has access to is much longer than Hydreigon.
1. when you're in a battle (in the actual games, not a sim), does pressing A actually speed up the process? last night I came to the (possible) realization that the game will move at the speed it moves at no matter what I do. can anyone confirm this?
2. exactly how much does one boost give you? (eg curse, bulk up, work up, etc) percentages would be nice, but any explanation anyone can give me would be awesome.

1. I always spam A during battles and such, and it does make it go faster. There are delays, but pressing A will skip those delays
2. I believe a +1 = 50%, +2 = 100%, etc
i.e. +1 means you do x1.5 your damage, +2 = x2.0 your damage
It's a forum in-joke, I think. Probably the same reason we have these :avatar: as emoticons
It's likely goingto be running
