Yes. Hacked Pokémon, if hacked properly, are identical to the actual Pokémon. Every detail of the .pkmn file is known, and there are no additional checks that could be added to old Pokémon. Whatever new features they put in to stop new hacks won't matter, there is no way to institute them retroactively to the old games. Old hacked Pokémon are going to hit X/Y like a tidal wave once Pokébank comes out.
We don't know. Pokebank is explicitly stated to filter for hacked or generated 'mons but we don't know what measures are in place to identify those. I suspect it'll be possible for the community to generate 'mons that will pass the check, but I'm completely unsure about whether existing ones will meet the tests.
Not tested it, but I would agree.
It may filter for them, but it can only check using the systems already existing in the game. And those are all known and accounted for. It is literally possible to hack a Pokémon so that it is, bit for bit, identical to a naturally caught/hatched/traded/Event Pokémon.
Afaik, Trick Room doesn't affect priority so maybe, no. Haven't tested tho.
It reverses the effects of the Speed stat, so since both are +1 Priority, it would make sense for Sucker Punch to hit first under Trick Room's effects.
There's a thread specifically for Heracross discussion, because he received a Mega Form. However, it has been generally agreed that Earthquake is superior to either Close Combat or Arm Thrust, I believe. He loses STAB, but gains Edge/Quake coverage with Rock Blast. And since Close Combat has negative side effects and Arm Thrust is weak, it is a superior option.
I looked over the thread, there wasn't much TR discussion, but I have asked there as well.
75 Base Speed seems a bit too fast for Trick Room IMO. You can't actually underspeed Base 50's, so they'll outspeed you while Trick Room is up. Also, I have a feeling Scizor and Conkeldurr would be better Bug or Fighting-types for TR since they have STAB priority for outside of it. Also, no matter what you outspeed, Talonflame will still be able to BB you and kill you outright.
Ah thank you, that base 50 tidbit is enough to convince me try for a different Heracross.
There's a way to do it similar to Gen 1's trading glitch. I believe once the trade is complete, whoever shuts down their 2/3DS first after like, 3 seconds gets their Pokemon cloned. The opposite player in the trade will lose their Pokemon (will be replaced with the desired cloned pokemon)
Yep :)
I'm not sure how viable trick room is in uu (don't play it) but you should use swords dance over bullet seed and yes use cc over arm thrust and guts over moxie (the ability isn't that important as they're both really good)
are you still able to catch all three pokemon?
Judejew said that their faces were there before reverting to the question mark silhouette meaning that (s)he had access to all three. Access to all three Pokemon does not go away when your friend deletes you so Judejew should have the three Pokemon still available (until (s)he deletes that friend from his or her friend list).
Yeah, and it's weird, I know at least 2 people who 100% sure haven't deleted me from that list. Maybe some of the maintenance nintendo has done reset the safari faces and you have to "see" them again.
Giratina-A and Lugia are the only exclusively "defensive" Pokemon that are in banned from OU. However, a few other ubers have colossal enough defensive stats that they would probably still be banned even without their good attacking stats. For example, Arceus would still be banned even if it only had base 80 attacking stats, simply because its support movepool is insanely good and it has fantastic defenses with access to reliable recovery. Other examples of defensive Pokemon being banned in BW include Chansey in UU and the previously mentioned Cresselia in RU.
That shouldn't affect the pokemon inside the safari, however, so you don't have to worry about that.
