Questions that don't deserve their own thread.

Ask what you want and answer what you can!

There's no such thing as stupid questions, only stupid people.

Nothing. It changes the time.

Just make sure you've closed the game before you update it.

My team is going to be
-Smeargle (either entry hazard or baton pass, not sure which)
-Aegislash (phys + SpA attacks)
-Raichu (TB, Grass Knot, Focus Blast)
-either Mega Alakazam or Mega Gardevoir

Should I use Alakazam or Gardevoir? Who else should I bring along?

It says that it "only allows the use of one move" though - does that mean I can still change the move I'm using but if I do I'll lose the speed bonus? What does it even mean? Why no decent description?

Yes they are.

>do people even care for rares /shinies
Shinies from previous gens are virtually worthless, since most of them are genned anyway. Kalos-bred shinies still hold some value despite Powersaves, because the method for turning them shiny is most likely imperfect.

not bad, but I'd abuse the hell out of Greninja instead of one of the toxicers. Weezing and Skarmory puts a brake on that team, and if Kanga goes down, the whole thing falls apart

Try this
Greninja @ Life Orb / Expert Belt
Trait: Protean
Timid, 252 SAtk/Spe
-Dark Pulse
-Surf/Hydro Pump
-Spikes
-Protect/Ice Beam/Grass Knot

The idea here is to play with resistances/immunities; because the game can't deal properly with Protean. Be careful with things that can outspeed you (hard to do with Scarf, tho)

In my opinion Trick Room. MegaMaw is still pretty slow when you train her for speed, so you may as well just make a TR team and capitalize on it.

What? Mine is actually female.

Question: I have a Dragalge with poison touch, which gives his contact moves a 20% chance to poison my opponent. I use Dragon Tail, which knocks my opponent out of the battle like Roar. Will my opponent be poisoned before he leaves?

Mawile actually doesn't have massive bulk in its own right, its ability to take hits comes for the most part from Intimidating physical attackers, and from investment in the form of EVs.

If your Mawile is dying a lot, just be careful not to send it out against special attackers, or anything that uses particularly strong fire/ground moves.

It only transforms into the parts it needs to transform into
For example, when transforming into a machamp it doesn't need to perfectly reproduce al of its innards, does it, no, only what is needed to keep it up and fighting
In short, If a ditto transforms into a Wailord, it'll be huge, but hollow

Or maybe it reproduces similar to a bacteria, meaning for each time a ditto transforms into a big pokemon, it'll reproduce?

The story basically goes like this:

Back when BW was still in development phase they created Alomomola and Bouffalant which both were intended to be evolutions of Luvdisc and Tauros. However, after they were done with the region and the story they noticed that pre-E4 you could only find Unova Pokémon in BW and it would be impossible for them to be obtained if they wouldn't have made them postgame-exclusives, which is a thing they apparently want to avoid nowadays.
So they just decided to scrap the evolution and made them stand-alone Pokémon instead.
