Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Similar to what the posters above me said, my Gardevoir activated trace 3 times at the start of a Triple Battle. Traced Chlorophyll, then Magic Guard twice. Appeared to have Magic Guard as its ability before it went Mega.

The new poke is sent in at the begining of the next turn in DPP. So all those effects happen before.
Also expanding on what Golden Steelix said, when the poke uses an offensive move, it will say "There is no target pokemon," and things like Explosion will not KO the user.
If your friend hatched a legit Budew/Roselia normally (no hacks on PID/IVs/Nature), and then used hacks to just teach it those moves, the hack is undetectable.
Thank you Doug. And people surprised at the rebound of Mence and drop of Gyara, it really isn't that big. Aside from Scizor the top 6 are very close to each other.

If I'm correct, The next test round is Stage 4, which will test out Species Clause, OHKO clause, and Evasion Clause not being present in OU. Other things reguarding clauses might also be tested.
A test for a poke is likely not to happen for a long time (or it will be a Manaphy test soon if a...
Well, about the Giratina, it was thought at first that the Arceus Event pokemon would know their HGSS special moves as Event moves, but they actually learn them by Level (somewhere around L 20 for Giratina's Shadow Sneak if thats what you are wondering), so nothing wrong there.
And I think...
Thats why the "Must be in lowest evolved stage" and "Must be able to evolve" rules are also in place. I was trying to say to just swap out the current egg rule with a more clarified version, all the other rules stay in place.
The 24 SpA is needed for a Life Orb Fire Blast to guarentee a OHKO on Skarmory
That would depend who you are fighting. If its your friends, chances are it won't matter that much.
If you are battling competively with a DS Cartridge, then that Azelf is bad. Lead Azelf needs a +speed...
I see little problem with changing the rule from "The Pokémon must have hatched from an egg." to something like "The Pokemon's species must be able to hatch from an egg." In fact I believe that is close to the Stadium 2 description of LC.
The goal of our LC is mimicing the actual LC in...
Simple, Kirby is a badass.
I'm proably going to change my avatar if I ever come across something awesomer or feel very Mudkip-ish and change it to a Mudkip.
I agree that removing all of the "Uber pokemon of Ubers" will result in OU.
If we removed Kyogre, then Groudon would be much stronger. Then we remove Groudon and then maybe Rayquaza will appear too powerful. Eventually enough ubers are removed in this way that the tier looks simular to the...
The Latias/Manaphy/Garchomp vote will occur once whoever is in charge of stat collecting determines the elligable Shoddy usernames, and then the ellegible voters need to claim their Shoddy usernames. Basically, I'd estimate a week or 2. But no one really knows, the mods can do whatever when it...
