I am using a Scizor with Bullet Punch / Quick Attack / Swords Dance / Roost and don't care about speed.

252 Atk and ?

Where should I put the extra EVs? HP, DEF, Sp. DEf?

You can use X-Act's Defense Applet (link is in his sig, too lazy to get it for you righ tnow).

What is the average Speed of Choice Scarfers? I was thinking of setting a DD Salamence to 281 just to outspeed a lot offer 1 DD.

 

[SuperSimon]

Are their any physical bulky waters? I was looking for one for my team.

Hey Age of Kings, whatever happened to that NFE/Never Used pokemon tournament?

If I am breeding to get Spore onto a Breloom, should I let Shroomish evolve after learning Spore, or does Spore not count as a "level-up" move for Breloom parents?

Basically, would

Breloom Male (Spore, Leech Seed) + Breloom Female (Spore, Leech Seed) = Shroomish (Spore, Leech Seed)

or should I just keep the Shroomish unevolved?

Spore will not pass unless both are Shroomish in this case, not Breloom.

No, it should work. I believe that f both parents know a move that is ne of the Baby's level up moves, it will be passed down.

What specific date does the Merge BL/UU/NFE began?

 

[cim]

Imminently. As soon as Doug can fix the server.

Read: Nowish.

In DOUBLE BATTLES, does PINSIR's Mold Breaker cancel out a fellow Regigigas' Slow Start? If it does, then if Pinsir dies at turn say, say for instance, does Regigigas still have 2 turns of Slow Start left, all 5 or none?

Nope. Mold Breaker only affects the defending Pokemon in an attack.

our Mold Breaker page

If this Pokémon attacks and the target's ability would prevent the effects of the attack from taking place, or hinder the effects of the move, the ability is temporarily nullified while the attack is in progress.

Ive been trying to catch a munchlax off of the trees and it isnt appearing, does anyone know if it only appears at specific trees or something?

I ask because Ive only seen Aipom at 2 specific spots...

 

[Erazor]

I'm breeding a Skarmory for Wi-Fi. If I breed a male Skarmory with a female Skarmory, and the male knows Spikes/Whirlwind/Brave Bird/Roost, will the baby inherit all four?

Another question, if i make the aforementioned baby skarmory hold the power item that adds 4 HP EVs, and i lead with it against a bidoof, then switch out, will it still receive 5 HP EVs?

It's the same appearance rate for every tree. Aipom can appear on any tree, Munchlax can appear on any tree. Munchlax has a 1% encounter rate, so it'll be very annoying to find.

1) It will inherit Whirlwind, Brave Bird, and Roost. To inherit Spikes, the mother must know the move as well.

2) Yes.

 

[Erazor]

Ok, thanks Veedrock!

 

[Objection]

Is there a list of the most common leads in the standard metagame somewhere?
EDIT: *facepalm* Found it.

 

[Edge Of Pain]

Would any of you keep a Groudon or soft reset for another if it was Adamant with the IVs of 29 HP, 29 Attack, and 0 for everything else?

EDIT: Now that I read this again, this post kind of looks as though it doesn't belong here, but I will keep it here because I need an opinion.

Thanks! Last time I saw that thread it was called "Look at what I bred" so I didn't bother looking for it, sorry.

Block doesn't work right on Shoddy am I correct?

 

[Cipher Admin Lovrina]

Can someone make me a useful Leech Seed Cherrim moveset?

I was thinking toxic/leech seed/sunny day/ HP Fire
but I need YOUR help for the spread.

Sunny Day boosts sp.def, so that's covered...

 

[Killernoob]

Um I didnt know sunny day boosted sp def.

well any way just wondering what types resist SR and are weak to it?

 

[Shelcario]

Maybe an EV spread like:

252 HP/184 Def./72 SpD

I imagine you're making it to be a defensive/stall somewhat role correct?
