    Chansey, Blissey, Tentacruel, Gastrodon, and Jellicent all make good special-walls. Oh, and also Latias. Almost forgot about that one. xD" For mixed-walls, try either Ferrothorn or Jirachi. If you like, you may go with Cresselia, too, as well as Porygon2. Another would be Quagsire. With Unaware, you could stall almost all stats-boosters as much as you wish.

  • Brick break or superpower on choice band scizor?

    Use Superpower for the sheer power. Use Brick Break if you hate Superpower's stat drops and/or you can't be bothered transferring a Superpower Scizor over from B2/W2. Superpower is still preferred, though.

  • Trace or analytic for porygon2?

    Both have their merits. Trace gives Porygon2 utility by copying an opposing ability, which could make it easier for it to check an opponent. Since Porygon2 tends to move last most of the time, Analytic makes its attacks stronger if it does move last.

    Analytic is a DW/Hidden Ability, so it may not be easy to get. Trace is easier to get, as it's one of Porygon2's primary abilities.

    Atk - 84
    Def - 79

    Sp. Atk - 91
    Sp. Def - 78

  • Is there any good special tyranitar set?

    I suggest you go for a mixed set.

    Tyranitar (M) @ Focus Sash
    Trait: Sand Stream
    EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
    Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
    - Ice Beam
    - Fire Blast
    - Crunch
    - Stealth Rock

    This one's a lead. Fire Blast allows it to hit Steel types like Skarmory, Forretress, Ferrothorn, etc. Ice Beam OHKOs Gliscor, 2HKOs Donphan and deals a lot of damage to other Ground and Dragon types.

  • Help, my sudowoodo doesn't give me an egg!

    I've put Sudowoodo and a Ditto at the day care, but it won't give me an egg! I'm holding the required incense and everything. What am I doing wrong!?

  • If the Day-Care Man says this phrase, "The two don't seem to like each other.", this means that the pair is less likely to produce an egg. This applies to Pokemon that you own. As a result, it's highly recommended that both parents have different ID numbers or have 2 Pokemon of the same species for effective breeding. In this case, the Day-Care Man will say "The two seem to get along."

  • But the day-care man says they're getting along very well, and their ID's are two completely different ones, but there's still no egg there!

    This was a bad joke my friend and I were trying out. The joke was that I had the incense in real life, not the game.

    Thank you, PlatinumDude for giving an honest answer and trying to help.

    How necessary is a +Speed nature on Genesect? My only legit one (and thus the only one I have on my Y) has a Lonely nature. Would the physical Scarf set still work with a Lonely nature, or is that a no-go?

    Hasty is preferred because with Lonely, Genesect fails to outspeed some +Speed Choice Scarf Pokemon like Therian Landorus.
