You wouldn't lose because you have no control over it. I'd think of it as like how Accupressure doesn't break Evasion Clause.

This usually isn't an issue, since PO has a built-in mechanic that blocks a second sleep from happening, but if it happens on Wi-Fi, common courtesy is to waste turns until they wake up.
check "save log" in battle
on the ESpore issue, generally Breloom and Parasect prefer their other abilities(Poison Heal/Dry Skin), so it only applies to Amoongus... who's slow as all hell. Your Spore has a 30% chance of failing if the opponent uses a contact move, which is plain dumb.
I check it but it still doesnt save :[
Effectively, yes. Simple never actually changes the boost from Swords Dance to +4 whether you use it before of after you get Simple. All it does is make it so that that same +2 boost gives their Attack a multiplier of 300%, the same as the normal +4 boost, rather than the usual +2 boost of 200%.
This isn't true anymore. That was how it worked in fourth gen, but in fifth gen:

What Bluemon is basically saying is that the only event where Dreamworld Bulbasaurs (the ones with Chlorophyll) were released only released male ones. Since only female Pokemon can pass down Dreamworld abilities through breeding, this means that there is no way other than hacking your game to obtain a Chlorophyll Venusaur with Egg Moves. Because of this, you cannot use such a Venusaur in a battle played under Smogon's rule set. However, the Global Battle Union (the place in-game where you fight WiFi battles) does not have protections to stop you from using such a Venusaur. Therefore, such Venusaurs are illegal, as they are impossible to obtain, but not unusable in GBU battles.
thanks, bluemon!
Probably.
I could always check and confirm though.
But not right now cause I got to go to sleep soon...
i have 1 question, and 1 statement to make.
question- i have a team thats really weak to physical attacks. infact, i have 4 that are. ive solved this with my reflect metagross set, but now its being walled by pokemon like spA based t-tar, heatran with taunt, and some abomasnow!
my current metagross set looks like this-
nature-adamant
item-light clay
moves- reflect
-bullet punch
-ice punch
-rock slide
evs-252 hp/252 atk/ 4 spD
im thinking of trying a set with meteor mash, and zen headbut of bullet punch and rock slide, and evs like this, 252 hp/ 128 atk/ 128 spD. i havent tested it out yet, so i want to know if this could work?
and, well this isnt the question, but i thought this could help some newcomers to competitive play alot.
there is actullay a way to give youre team pokerus anytime without hacks/cheats. you can keep a pokemon with pokerus in your box, and it wont lose it. so what i do is, 1. i keep the poke in the box, until im ready to ev train. 2. put it back in the box when ive seen the rest of the team has contracted the illness. this also, in my experience resets the timer of pokerus's decay.
i hope someone can answer my question, and that ive helped lots of newcomers.

its probably just your ladder ranking. As people are gaining points, their ranking goes up, thus pushing yours down. your points don't change

Mew cannot learn Recover, but if you replace it with Softboiled (FR/LG tutor), the set is perfectly legal.
Forretress can learn Pain Split from a HG/SS tutor.
