Also known as confirmation bias. I've decided to take count of their success rate, and so far rock slide is 6/6, stone edge is 5/5.

Is it just me, or do the computer's lower than average accuracy attacks hit 99% of the time? I just had my entire team wiped out by four consecutive fire blasts. It seems like stone edge, rock slide etc. hit without fail, every single time.
Does anybody know which pokemon are "banned" from the battle subway/institute, besides the legendaries? Can you use traded pokemon, or ones from previous gens?
I would like some analysis of my strategy which, being implemented one time, got me to the Doubles boss (but lost due to two of my pokemon being put to sleep by two hypnosis moves :| ). I decided to train Haxorus because Cryagonal was, well, not hacking it. I start with Samurott and Haxorus, and...

I'm about to try this for the first time. I remember owning whatever the equivalent was in the third gen game, winning 20+ battles in a row a few times, probably won around 95% of the battles. Was certainly easier than the battle institute.
Which pokemon are worthwhile?
So I'm roughly 3/4 through the game, since I (barely) got my 6th gym badge. The problem I've had, especially relative to all of the previous games, is that I am having a very hard time finding pokemon that are actually worth a crap. I've wasted ridiculous amounts...
