No and no. What will happen is that one of the two IV's will be randomly selected and passed down. The rest will just be generated normally.

Is it possible for the other IV you wanted to pass down to be randomly selected and passed down?
If you breed a shiny pokemon with a japenese ditto (or another dif country mon) will the rate go up from the 2,000 sum method
Iirc yes
no it doesnt one of the parents being shiny doesnt increase the chance of the offspring being shiny too
Yes, if your other Pokemon is not from the same country Ditto was from. Shiny parents do not affect chances of shiny offspring though.
With Tri Attack, how exactly does the secondary effect work with Pokemon immune to one or more status conditions? I assume the mechanics are 20% chance of status, then 1/3 chance at each status. The question is, if the opponent has a Fire-type Pokemon that was Skill Swapped Limber, does my Tri Attack now have a 20% chance of Freeze, or is it still 6.67% chance for each (i.e. could the Pokemon still be burned or paralyzed and it would show up if I used Soak or Gastro Acid on it)?
This is only competitively relevant to Fire-types, and nobody really uses Tri Attack for the secondary effect, but I was just curious if anyone knew how these situations are handled by the game.

What is the best way to learn to play 1v1 Double battles? (for VGC lol)
It may sound dull, but due the unbalanced uber meta there are a only a few viable options at hand.
The "staple build" which necessary not to get eaten alive consists of Kyogre, one or two Kyogre counter/checks like Palkia, Ferrothorn or Gastrodon, a Giratina to counter ExtremeKiller, and a spinner like Tentacruel and Forretress. That's team building in (very) short.
I wouldn't recommend to start with Uber too early because I think it stunts the ability to build a fair team. Both OU and UU are fairly balanced, NU and RU may be a bit too restrictive for new ones.
Hopefully a simple enough one. What priority does Detect have exactly? It's listed as +3 in the main article (http://www.smogon.com/bw/articles/priority), but the article for the move itself (http://www.smogon.com/bw/moves/detect) lists it as +4 at the top, but in the explanation lists it at +3. And for what it's worth, sites like Serebii have it at +4 also when I checked it. So yeah...which is it?
Alright thanks, guess a few of the guides must be outdated or something.
Well while dragon is great for neutral coverage, it contradicts your statement as well as it's super effective only on opposing dragons too.
