I want to get the Destiny Knot by rematching the young couple. I've fought them 2-3 times but after flying around a few times, they don't want to rematch yet. How does the game determine whether they want to rematch you yet? Is it based on steps?

Also contests seem hard so I won't do those yet.
 
How do you factor in the burn status for damage calculations?
For example: I used Swords Dance twice (3x Atk) and I got a burn. Will I now be +1 (1.5x Atk) or +2 (2x Atk)?
 
^You will still be at +4, however your effective Attack will be halved. So you'll deal 1.5x as much damage if you would have at +0 and without a Burn.

Use the PS! damage calculator if you want more in depth calculations. You can change your Pokemon's status to 'burned' which affects the calculations...

eg: (I just clicked Swords Dance 'Chomp and OU Usage Rotom because you mentioned Swords Dance and burn...)

+4 252 Atk Garchomp Outrage vs. 252 HP / 212+ Def Rotom-W: 417-492 (137.1 - 161.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

+4 252 Atk burned Garchomp Outrage vs. 252 HP / 212+ Def Rotom-W: 208-246 (68.4 - 80.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

+0 252 Atk Garchomp Outrage vs. 252 HP / 212+ Def Rotom-W: 139-165 (45.7 - 54.2%) -- 3.1% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

So yeah, just like Codraroll said, +4 (which is x3) with a burn is similar to a 1.5 multiplier
 
someone can explain me how to get Ditto location?

Mirage Island doesnt appear to me ;_;

thanks!
You get a new mirage spot every day and you just have to be lucky with which ones you get ;_; (there are 30 possible mirage spots in total and 2 of those contain ditto)
however, mirage spots can also be passed via street pass and the pss, so I recommend logging on the PSS a few times per day and check if one of the mirage spots you receive contains Ditto. otherwise i'm afraid it just comes down to luck :\ (or transferring some from other games)
 
I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this. But some of the legendaries aren't appearing for me (Namely the lake trio and the musketeers). I can go to their locations, but I can't enter their portals. Are there any requirements to fight them, other then the ones you need to get to their locations?
 
Can we still post additional information about trainer teams in the research thread?
I go through a lot of trainers where the ability is not yet listed in the research data(e.g. Roxanne´s gym has no ability descriptors if I didn't oversee it). I´m not sure how relevant this is for the community though.
 
does synchronize work on the legendaries that come out of portals? my bold abra hasn't netted me a bold lugia even once and i've SR'd about 7 times now.

P.S my abra is fainted to avoid the leveling up process after i catch the legendary
 
Are there new team list/box sprites for the 'mon that got Megas in ORAS? I could have sworn I saw new sprites for (non-mega) Steelix, Diancie and Blaziken...

It does, you're just having bad luck.
 
Is there any easy places to get evolution stones other than through Super Training or Secret Pal abilities? I've got a backlog of pokemon to evolve.

If you've got shards, you can exchange them with the Treasure hunter in Mossdeep for the same stones you could buy in Lumiose. For everything else... not really.
 
Stones can also be obtained from the Inverse Battle House and certain rematchable trainers. Off the top of my head, the Veteran on the route above Rustboro with the Hariyama eventually starts handing out Sun Stones.
And of course, some are hold items too. The same route I mentioned has Clefairy appear after the Primal Devolution narrative, which can sometimes hold Moon Stones.
 
Does compoundeyes increase the chance of dexnav pokemon holding items?

Also, if you are in a mirage spot overnight, what happens? Does it stay for one more day, or until you leave, or until you get chucked out?
