Mega Houndoom with Sucker Punch is the only thing I can think of that conforms to your preferences. Generally it wants four special moves but if you need it to kill Zam it needs Sucker punch to outspeed. Only works if Zam's sash is broken or you die to Focus Blast.Are there any special sweepers who can deal with both Alakazam and Ferrothorn?
It's a 33% boost. basically 1/3.What is the boost that Tough Claws gives? Serebii says 30% and Bulbapedia says 33% so I just want to clarify (even though the difference between the two is pretty negligible).
Togekiss jumps to mind. Fire Blast for Ferrothorn, and.. anything for Alakazam.Are there any special sweepers who can deal with both Alakazam and Ferrothorn?
Nope. Burn lowers attack and paralysis lowers speed, but poison doesn't lower anything. (except your HP, lol)Somebody told me that Poison status cut defense. Is this true?
I remember that this was speculated when X/Y first came out, but it is not the case.Somebody told me that Poison status cut defense. Is this true?
Hmm... So is it a yes or no?Huh.
That's odd. The XY hub's Tiers page lists Sand Veil and Frost Cloak under Evasion Clause. Might be either an outdated/incorrect page or a PS bug.
Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize, in addition to the abilities Sand Veil and Snow Cloak, are not permitted in play.
PumpkinPie might be right and they're accessible in Showdown. I don't know.Hmm... So is it a yes or no?
No and no. Masuda method of breeding involves two differently-regioned pokemon (Ita, Jap, Kor, Ger, Fre, Spa, and Eng, I believe) to breed; it does not matter which is which or what species they are, just so long as both parents are able to breed and are of a different region from each other. This increases the chances of hatching a shiny from the offspring from ~1/4000 to ~3/4000, I believe.Here are my noob questions: To get a shiny pokemon with the Masuda method is necessary a Ditto? if so, that Ditto has to be Japanese? If Ditto is not necessary, the only pokemon that can be shiny is the foreign one?
Thank u :)No and no.

They're not banned. Weather is no longer permanent.Hmm... So is it a yes or no?
PumpkinPie might be right and they're accessible in Showdown. I don't know.
My feeling is that they are supposed to be banned and may be bugged. That's an official page so far as I'm aware. So, again, I don't know.
What're you trying to use them on?
Oh, cool. It's cause I had a shiny garchomp with sand veil and I was afraid it might be useless if it's ability was illegalThey're not banned. Weather is no longer permanent.
Thanks for the link, I'll read it over. EDIT: It works with BW2, right? Not just BW1?They do it with RNG abuse. You can learn more about that here.

Though, yes, hacking one is indeed the most common.
Sheer Force Landorus? I believe those're from Dream Radar, which is an extra game for DSi and 3DS that you can buy for three dollars. You can get other HA legends like Ho-Oh and Lugia that way, too.
U-turn doesn't carry a secondary effect, so Sheer Power won't boost it.is damanitan's sheer power u-turn switch work?
BW2 works, except egg abuse can only be done in BW1. Hitting your seed in BW2 can be a little more inconsistent than in BW1 though, since a variable known as Timer0 can be a little trolly.Thanks for the link, I'll read it over. EDIT: It works with BW2, right? Not just BW1?
And yeah, I did know that Sheer Force Lando was from Dream Radar, but doesn't that mean I can't RNG abuse for a good one?
Poop. Well, thanks for the info. At least I can be sure to get a decent Heatran with some work.BW2 works, except egg abuse can only be done in BW1. Hitting your seed in BW2 can be a little more inconsistent than in BW1 though, since a variable known as Timer0 can be a little trolly.
You can RNG Dream Radar Pokémon, but you can't reset if you stuff it up.
Pokegen? What's Pokegen?Do people just pokegen/sav all their things like Heatran or Landorus? Given they're back in gens where they don't get guaranteed 31 IVs...how in the world do people get competitive ones legitimately? Infinite SRing? And what about if I want Sheer Force Landorus, is that basically impossible since I need to get it from the Dream World?
Close Combat/Relic Song/Psychic/Shadow Ball (standard). You can put Uturn in for momentum, but remember that switching out get Meloetta back to normal(Psychic type.What would be a good moveset for a mixed Naive Relic Song Meloetta?
