To be honest, either ability for it works. Shadow Tag doesn't really matter considering they never switch out anyway.
Now for my question. I want to use Heracross for the Battle Tower(Both R/S and E) and the Battle Dome, but I'm having trouble deciding on what sets to use. All the Smogon sets listed here would work well since the only priority user in gen 3 is Breloom. The Sub-Salac set and Reversal sound like they'd work best for the R/S tower and the Dome, but Swords Dance and Choice Band are undeniable powerhouses that can't be ignored.
So, what set should I be using for those two(three?) facilities?
probably to lower its speed so it wins against other auto-weather pokemon.
Larvitar runs a Sassy nature when it wants to use Fire Blast (a useful option against Pokemon like Ferrothorn or Scizor who might try to switch in on you). If you aren't using Fire Blast, then Careful is a perfectly acceptable nature.
Has anyone found a Happy Hour Inkay yet that they could trade me?
Aegis For GB and also...
Aegis needs to stay in Shield Forme for the whole turn so it can stay alive and not take hits in Blade Forme.
Aegislash and Ferrothorn are both great users of Gyro ball, which does more damage the slower you are. Since neither of them are quick, you're likely going second anyway.
In addition, Aegislash is more likely to take an enemy attack in it's shield form if it's slower.
This thread is probably a more suitable location to ask for that.
Give it a soothe bell and bike a lot. Use healing items on it too. Don't forget Riolu only evolves during daytime.
Feed it twenty (ish) stat reduction (qualot/tamato etc) berries. Instant lucario
Or, you can leave your 3DS on for a few minutes with a dime wedged in the circle-pad, and bike around the center of Lumiose. Takes like 15 minutes, so you can go eat lunch or whatever while you wait. Don't forget the soothe bell! (And don't use befriending power--it'll stop you from moving)
Does anyone know if there are any methods for cloning that work after patching to 1.2? I really need some more leftovers, but don't wanna spend time doing the pickup method.
On that note, did anyone clone a ton of lefties? I would trade for them.
Also, is there any way to downgrade from 1.2 to 1.1 so i can clone?

best way to breed outrage and Dragon Dance onto a charizard?
All of these Pokémon which breed with Charizard learn Outrage & Dragon Dance by level-up:
-Dratini/Dragonair/Dragonite
-Axew/Fraxure/Haxorus
Take your pick.
Its_A_Random summed it up pretty well.
If you use an Axew or Dratini, it is learned by level up to level 55(Dratini) or 56 (Axew)
If you use a Fraxure or Dragonair, it is learned by level up to level 60(Fraxure) or 67(Dragonair).
If you use a Haxorus or Dragonite, it is learned by level up to level 66(Haxorus) or 67(Dragonite).
They are all learned around the same level for each evolutionary stage, so neither is better than the other.
My guess is it seems fewer people picked the grass starter this time around, so there are fewer Articuno than Zapdos or Moltres. Competitive use isn't everything, and not everyone will be able to take advantage of Pokebank, given a high number of players returning to the series for the first time in a while (in addition to the first-timers).
