Long story short.
A Flung item will return after a battle with in-game trainers (and real trainers, of course).
Works like usual on wild pokes: you lose the item.
Confirmed by me >.<
I tested some things on Illusion recently.
Simple Beam: It works and the Illusion will break (the target's ability will change to Simple).
Entrainment: Works and breaks the Illusion (unless user's ability is Illusion.)
Worry Seed: Works and breaks the Illusion.

If the Shift mechanic is used, the Pokemon standing in the spot where the Wish user was when it used Wish will receive the healing benefit. I have not yet tested Ally Switch, but I'd be very surprised if it didn't work the same way.
Also, I've confirmed that the Wish user can successfully use Wish again after being shifted to a different spot on the field but before the first Wish takes effect (as expected).
For the purpose of testing, I hacked a Pawniard with the ability Harvest. I taught it Rest (and Taunt) and gave it a Chesto Berry. Two things I have discovered:
-if a Pokemon uses its berry, does not regain the berry from Harvest, switches out, and then switches back in, the game still 'remembers' that the Pokemon had that berry and can regenerate it by Harvest
-a Pokemon may regenerate its berry back on the switch (not all abilities can activate on the switch, such as Speed Boost)
Here is my recording of playing around with Harvest, both points can be seen at 8:37.

I plan to record 100 possible turns of Harvest activating and see how many times it occurs.
Edit: A Sheer Force Pokemon using Fling with Poison Barb still poisons the foe.

Rest of the video is just random testing, nothing new.

It doesn't seem to be this number however coincidence or not it appears to be quite close which helped me to find the real number more easily. The fellowing tests were all done under Trick Room with lvl 100 Ninjasks, Speed after 6 boosts is between brackets.
Ninjask with 448Spe(1792)- moved last
Ninjask with 449Spe(1796)- moved last
Ninjask with 451Spe(1804)- moved last
Ninjask with 452Spe(1808)- moved last
Ninjask with 453Spe(1812)- moved first
Ninjask with 402Spe holding Choice Choice Scarf after 4 boosts or 1809 Spe -moved first
It appears the glitch triggers once a pokemon reached or exceeds 1809 Speed.
It still bugs me why it is the number 1809 however..
Well i thought it had something to do with the lvl 10 Purrlion having 16Speed however, when i tested the 451 Speed +6 Ninjask against a lvl 4 Patrat, Ninjask also went last under Trick Room.
Even if a Pokemon uses Protect, it is subject to the collateral damage from a Flame Burst that hits an adjacent ally.
If a Pokemon used Destiny Bond on its last turn and gets knocked out by collateral damage from Flame Burst that hits an adjacent ally, it will not take the Flame Burst user down with it.
Moral of the story: Ha ha, Focus Sash/Destiny Bond Gengar. How you like me now?

To answer one of the questions in the first post:
The effects of Guard Split and Power Split cannot be passed with Baton Pass. To use Magic: The Gathering terminology, the effects of both moves are "one-shot effects", that is, they happen at the moment the attack is used and don't have a duration.

Tried this. Wild double battle, my Magnezone didn't give a crap about my Cryogonal's Attract.
Not that this needed confirmation, but I got the same result. I also tested whether Cryogonal's Attract would work on male or female Pokemon. It doesn't. I guess GameFreak made an oversight in giving Cryogonal Attract.
Yeah, I tried all three against wild Pokemon.
Female Pidove
Male Patrat
Golett
Cryogonal's Attract failed on all of them.
Is Pokémon Ranger able to transfer Pokémon to Black and White?

If fly/similar is called by assist/metronome and subsequently encored, can a pokemon be stuck in fly/similar's invincibility turn indefinitely?

From the booklet:
Note: it is not possible to communicate with Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, and Nintendo Gamecube Pokemon series titles. This game is also incompatible with the Wii title Pokemon Battle Revolution, The Wiiware title My Pokemon Ranch, the Nintendo DS series Pokemon Ranger games, and the Pokewalker accessory.
So no.
Breludicolo:
I tested this in-game.
In this situation, the Pokemon would use Metronome, since it was the "last move it used before" Encore was used (the game ignores moves used by other moves when determining the last move used). However, the Pokemon won't take any action on the following round because it started to use a two-turn attack, namely Fly, on the first round.
More interesting, though, is what happens to the move chosen by Metronome on the second round. On the rare chance that the Pokemon uses the same or another two-turn attack, such as Dig, it will deal damage immediately, as though it had used that move (rather than Fly) on the first turn. More likely, though, the chosen move will be something different entirely; here, however, if the move targets the user itself, it will say that the Pokemon "avoided the attack" and the move will fail.
All the above, however, assumes that Encore succeeded against the Pokemon while it was using Fly. Normally this is not possible without the aid of No Guard or Lock-On.
