Does synchronize not work the same in this gen as far as a 50% chance of the pokemon you are battling copying your nature? I've reset in front of Victini about 20 times now and only twice has it had my nature.

Has anything changed or does my luck just blow?

How do you breed a Hydreigon with Dark Pulse? None of the Pokemon in the Dragon egg group learn Dark Pulse...

At the moment the best method seems to be transferring over Ekans/Arbok or Seviper that has learned it via Gen IV TM79, then breeding to get it as an Egg move. Sorry that's a bit of a long winded method but that's all Bulbapedia seems to have on it.

I don't think you can, but is there any way to filter GTS results, so they only show trainers who want something you have?
Or at least a way to get rid of the Lv. 9 and under Resh/Zek?

Which Pokémon were you thinking of replacing? Rock resistance and Levitate should give it chances to switch in, and the sun reduces its weakness to water, so it could be useful. You could also consider other options... Something like Hitmontop resists Rock and majorly threatens Tyranitar, who can set up sand stream on you.

My bad, you could use that too :)

Wonder why Bulbapedia hasn't added that to the list of Dragon Pulse fathers for Hydrei then?

In Battle Subway I'm using a primarily offensive combo of Zoroark and Mienshao with Zoroark starting disguised as Mienshao. These two work pretty well but sometimes it's necessary to have a more bulky 3rd mon as an assist. I need a new Psychic type filler, been using Gothitelle but she isn't tanky enough to do what I need it to. Anyone got a better Gen V suggestion?

There's always Reuniclus. Musharna is pretty tanky as well.

My own question: Blaziken is Uber (:O) primarily because of Speed Boost. Is Blaze Blaziken Uber too?
 
My question - the front page says we now have server stats, if so where are they, or have they not been released yet?

Claydol isn't the most effective spinner - he can't do anything to the common spinblockers. If you want one who can SR and spin, use Donphan instead, who can actually hurt the ghosts of this meta as they come into him. Moreover he just exacerbates your TTar weakness which all Sun has.

Lol why is Blaze Blaziken banned? It sucks (especially without being able to use Pinch berries like Salac yet)

We're trying to implement less complex bans for the time being, that's why.
 
Im about to build a wifi team in my game so I have two questions:

1) How long does suspect testing take? When is the next round of testing? Im thinking of having a Latios but currently it is on the fence...

2) Any idea when next rng reporter with non c-gear rng will be ready for the US versions?

I'd say to use a Latios until they outright ban it :P but that's not exactly what you were asking, just my suggestion.
 
What is a good anti-lead nowadays? I don't know which leads are common and which aren't. I'm also looking for a goos spiker/stealth rocker who can take hits Skarm maybe? I'd prefer pokemon who are breedable, because i can't RNG abuse.
 
With the possibilty to change your lead position after the team preview it's safe to say that there is no good anti lead nowadays.
