Conversion2 isn't exactly the same. Before, Porygon2 had no choice but to transform into a type that resisted the last attack that hit it. Now, it can choose to resist the attack of anybody on the field, even a Pokemon that didn't attack it.
ah, my mistake, that much isnt clear from the ingame text at least
It's not. All the Darumakka you randomly encounter in the wild have Hustle and evolve to have Encourage. The dormant Hihidaruma sitting around the entrance to the castle ruins have Daruma Mode, which is what Serebii lists as their Dream World ability.
I can confirm that 'Shell Break' lowers Defense and Special Defense, and increases Attack, Special Attack, and Speed. I confirmed this using an Abagoora in Pokemon Black. I can't confirm if they sharply raise. My Japanese is non-existent, and I was just using the Japanese to English terms on Smogon to translate what rose and fell.
In order..
"Defense fell!
Special Defense fell!
Special rose!
Attack rose!
Speed rose!"

This was posted in the Free Fall thread:
It's the same flag that TheMaskedNitpicker was talking about a while ago. Someone should test to see if moves like Water Pulse and Peck (and Fly oddly enough) can be used while you're being grabbed by a Pokemon using Free Fall.

Maverick Hunter asked me to report this on his behalf:
Female Daruma Mode + Male Daruma Mode = Inner Focus Darumakka (DW ability)
Female Daruma Mode + male non-DW = Hustle (non-DW ability)
Male Daruma Mode + Female non-DW = Non-DW ability
Male Daruma Mode + Ditto = Non-DW ability
As of now, breeding for DW seems to be useful only to get good IVs/Nature.
By the way, we still need to test two pokémon of different species having Dream World abilities.

Every post i have seen in regard to testing aiming mark/bull's eye seems to imply it does not allow normal to hit ghost (and so on), but have people tested attacking in succession? On serebii (i'm aware of possible translation error) it says "If a move failed because of the opposing Pokemon's type, this bull's eye will make the move hit". That reads to me as, if you attack with rapid spin and the target is immune, it allows your next use of rapid spin to hit.
I have Tested this item and what it does is that the holder will no longer have immunities. (I havent tested abilities)
I used Dig with Warubiaru(Ground/Dark) on marks/bull holding Kenhourou(Normal/Flying) and it hit Kenhourou.
I can provide footage if needed.
So yeah the description of the item is almost correct execpt that is the holder that looses his immunities not the target.
Ok, I hope this doesn't sound too dumb, but do we have confirmation than Inner Focus Darumakka evolves into a Daruma Mode Hihidaruma? I'm aware that it seems stupid, but it wouldn't hurt to check.
On another topic, some random in GameFAQs is claiming that Explosion no longer halves Defence. It might be nothing, but who knows.
If Torment is used by a Slower Pokemon in Turn 1, the Faster Pokemon cannot select the move it used in Turn 1, for Turn 2. In Gen 4, I'm pretty sure the Faster Pokemon could still select the move it used in Turn 1.
I have tested this against Reparudasu, who happens to know Torment, and is slower than my Pokemon.
I think my first explanation is clear enough, but to further demonstrate how it works:
Turn 1
Scizor used False Swipe
Reparudasu used Torment
Turn 2
My Scizor could not use False Swipe (unselectable). In Gen 4, it would still let me use False Swipe in this Turn.
If you don't mind a slightly belated question... If it works like this, would Substitute be under any of the categories affected by Mischievous Heart?
Not true. In Gen 4, it worked exactly the way you just described.
I just checked this in HG to make sure, I stand corrected. :(
Explosion changes?
Hi all,
Friend and I were having a battle earlier via Wi-Fi to test out a few of the new "threats" available to us with the generation. I basically led with Hippowdon, and he led with Metagross. He decided to use Explosion as the first move (since apparently his team had trouble with Hippowdon) only to find that the move did between 50-60% damage.
The reason this is important is because, by DP calculations, the move should have done close to 100% (because I don't have a defensive nature on my Hippowdon...sadly). This suggests that Explosion no longer halves enemy defense upon use.
I'm basically posting this to see if other people can try and replicate this effect. My friend later battled another, and claims to have the same effect. If other people can try using Explosion in 5th generation and compare the results to DP damage calculation, that would be great. It is obviously important that we determine just how significant the changes were to such a game-changing move.

Pretty simple question: Are Rotom's alternate formes usable over WiFi now? (Should probably check random WiFi as well as FC battles.)
Can you test Explosion again against a different target to confirm a loss of power? For all we know, Sandstorm could be buffing Defense in Ground types or something.
If I recall aren't those Eevee evolutions with dream world abilities gonna be released on the 31st of this month? They're the same egg group as Hihidaruma so there's something to look forward to.
Though chances are someone will probably hack a solution or get something else by then...
I'm going to add to this that Intimidate does NOT re-activate when quickswitching.
Also, this applies to all effects; Sandstorm and Hail don't affect other Pokemon, nor does Earthquake. You can see the other two Pokemon, but for all intents and purposes they are not in play.
The pokémon with Telepathy isn't it by the damaging attacks of its allies.
About Flare Blitz, I'll get it tested again... But the ingame data does show it inflicts a burn.
Flare Blitz fire 4 1 120 100 15 0 0 4 10 1 0 0 0 0 User takes 1/3 the damage inflicted in recoil. Has a $effect_chance% chance to burn the target. -33 0 0 000000 000000 000000 83 83 0000010001001001 0
3rd column: 4 = damaging status changing move
4th Column: Physical attack
Then 4 is the burn status, 10 is the rate, 1 is telling it's a status that doesn't have a number of turns, -33 is the recoil
(http://typewith.me/pokemon-black-and-white says so too)
About Mischievous Heart, maybe it gives priority to non-damaging moves with targets? (Not field effects)
Also, http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3008593&postcount=127 contradicts:
A good idea would be to test mischievous heart with weathers (rain dance etc.) and moves like softboiled/recover/refresh/aromatherapy/substitute to see if the condition of activation depends on the targets or not.
Just went and tested it with Rest, moves do not need a target to gain priority under Mischievous Heart.
I used a Level 14 Monmen that I caught in the wild against a Level 18 Monmen from a trainer in Huin, and it hit me with Cotton Spore twice early in the match.
I tested both Mega Drain and Rest several times, every time I used Mega Drain I went last and every time I used Rest I went first without fail.
