I have an Alakazam and Arcanine that work best with Life Orb. Problem is only one of them can use it in Wi-Fi's and such. Who would best benefit from Orb and what would be a suitable replacement for life orb or the other?

If Alakazam has Magic Guard, a Focus Sash could work so it lasts at least two hits.

Speed isnt an issue for it. Its IV is 28+ It outspeeds lv 60 wild pokemon at lv 35. I need strength. Also I have Focus sash on My Zoroark.

Yes but Alakazam has mediocre defenses. Priority coming from things like Scizor will murder it. Maybe posting this in the Competitive Team help forum might be worthwhile.
 
Do Hidden Grottoes regenerate per day, or is it just a 5% chance of regenerating after 200+ steps?
 
Can you EV train lvl 100 pokemon? Forgive me if this has been answered already in another thread, I looked and couldn't find it.

Yes you can EV train level 100 Pokemon, provided that they haven't hit the max already (510 EVs I believe)

Ok if that's the case I can always decrease EVs with some berry(don't remember the name) and start EV training from there?

Each different stat has their own berry, just make sure you use the one's you need. Unless you don't know what EV's they have. In that case you'd better use Pokecheck to find out what EVs they have so you don't waste berries.

I found this answer given by someone to another person who asked the same question:

In Pokemon Black and White, you can EV train at level 100 if you have no EVs filled in your Pokemon. Since there is a new EV training system, you can now do that. In gen IV games, you can gain the EVs, but not get the stat boosts, so it will be a waste.

Hope it helps.

From Gen V you can, so yes. Stats are calculated after every battle from EVs instead of every level.

Thanks guys, that helped a lot. Trying to absorb as much as I can, this is some tedious and complicated stuff. Are there was too speed up the process or this is pretty much it?
 
Something interesting for the EV training discussion; once a Pokémon is maxed out, you can Rare Candy it all the way up to Lv.100 and it'll be just as strong as if you got it there yourself. AR users may be fans of cloning Rare Candies now for this reason.

Yeah, but those who clone Rare Candies don't always EV train... and most likely they just Rare Candy their Pokemon to level 100 just to breeze through the game with no training...

Their loss when they go on Wifi and get creamed by an EV-trained opponent.
