Anyone know the history on this?

Does that mean perfect IVs guaranteed? I wonder.

i think i might have the perfect ivs. it would still be a substandard garchomp because of the ability. it's simple enough to make a 5 iv perfect one yourself so why not just give it away as the one she used in game

They didn't do level scaling back in 2008 so they were strict on everything being level 50 or less. Dragonite and Tyranitar couldn't compete because they evolve too late and Heatran was only available at level 70.

you use 2 pokemon at the same time

preview a team of six pokemon, choose 4 to use in battle

this is a format to use moves that hit multiple pokemon simultaneously like earthquake (warning that'll hit your partner pokemon at the same time), rock slide, heat wave, surf, etc.

give most if not all of your pokemon protect since it's very handy in this format

Going to be using serebii's potw as a reference for strategies. apparently he still has the gen 4 one

http://serebii.net/potw-dp/

>>prize for entering is Cynthia's Garchomp
Im still going to join, but these prizes still need to be a little more enticing. Like a shiny with its hidden ability. dont really give a damn about iv's...maybe a little bit.

Thinking of either a Trick-Room + Power Trick Shuckle team or a Skill-Swap Slaking team... Any hints or experiences using these teams?

Not being able to mega-off slaking's ability is going to slow you down a bit, but my favorite double set is Anything with Trace (Gardevoire for special bulk, Alakazam for speed) is fun.
Venomoth for wonder skin, Keckleon for Protean (huehuehue), Xatu for Magic Bounce, it depends what you need Slaking to do besides wreck shop.
SHort answer? It's hella fun, but have a back-up plan.

trace is random in doubles so that's a bad choice. you may as well run a togetic with metronome while you're at it

It's random, but it's almost always disruptive. Especially in that rare occasion you can grab someone's Huge Power or intimidate.
But I'm a Discordian by nature, and metronome's unreliability is fine with me. (More fun on Clefairy though)

Running Slaking with protean from Kekleon can run a very novel set. With Slaking's overthetop power, you can run Shadow Claw to avoid the inevitable Focus Blast, and Aerial Ace to dodge incoming Earthquakes.
I personally like to run Skillswap Slaking as a back-up plan in doubles, because his come-from-behind Normal-gem boosted Retaliation oneshots all but the most dedicated tanks.

The one in the space centre in ORAS postgame is hidden ability by default, so it's the easiest way to get it.

actual one with perfect IVs and a hacked nature that raises both speed and attack with no downside?
Or just one with its moveset.
