Page 72 has both this question and it's answer, which is no.
Can you trick a plate onto Arceus? I can see the advantage in making your opponent's extremekiller arceus an ice type...

Is this real or fake? This is certainly pertinent with all of the hubbub about DW starters/eeveelutions.

Very interesting research question:
Can Harvest activate twice in one turn?
How to test: have a faster Pokemon attack a Harvest Pokemon holding Sitrus Berry so that it activates, and have the Harvest Pokemon use Substitute in the same turn. Does Sitrus Berry activate twice?

I have confirmed that the Sitrus Berry does indeed activate twice in the same turn. I would like to extend my thanks to iamgreatness for helping me conduct this test.

dont know if it is posted already, but here is the new EXP formula(ill try to make it as easy-readable as possible):
/a×t×b×e×L L+2\
|------------ ×----- | +1
\ 5×s Lp+2/
EDIT: yea, i previewed the post, and i found out that they leave out spaces. Im just going to put the link here:

a is equal to 1 if the fainted Pokémon is wild, and 1.5 if the fainted Pokémon is owned by a Trainer.
t is equal to 1 if the winning Pokémon's OT is its current owner, 1.5 if the Pokémon was gained in a domestic trade, and 1.7 if the Pokémon was gained in an international trade.
b is the base experience yield of the fainted Pokémon's species, listed here.
e is equal to 1.5 if the winning Pokémon is holding a Lucky Egg, and 1 otherwise.
L is the level of the fainted Pokémon.
Lp is the level of the victorious Pokémon.
s is the number of Pokémon that participated in the battle and have not fainted. If any Pokémon in the party is holding an Exp. Share, s is equal to 2, and for the rest of the Pokémon, s is equal to twice the number of Pokémon that participated instead.

Does this mean that an Arceus without a plate can also make use of trick this gen?
That's the assumption. I would test it myself to be sure if I had B/W.
When battling on Wi-fi with team preview, are those icons like the ones used on PO shown? If that is the case, a few pokemon have form differences that are so subtle they aren't shown by the icon. The only time this matters competitively is to tell if Genesect has a cassette, and what kind it has if it does have one.
that was discovered within a couple days of the games release
Yeah, I figured, but I wasn't sure...
In addition to that, level 100 Pokemon now gain EVs through normal battling, so you don't even need the wings.
Looking back at these, I've tested Miracle Skin as well to see if it fell under this mystery flag, just as Mental Herb was tested (and failed...) for it.
What I found is that everything Mental Herb blocks, Miracle Skin ALSO has a 50% chance to block, just like major Status.
So Miracle Skin is a 1/2 efficient Lum Berry + Mental Herb. What needs to still be done is compile an entire list of what Mental Herb actually cures.
So Miracle Skin can prevent confusion?
