I assume that flying moves aren't that common on things that can't actually fly (I've seen Peck, but who the hell would use Peck in a serious match?).
You'd be surprised at the number of pokes that can learn Aerial Ace. There are a couple of other flying attacks that can be learned by non-flying types, but those are either a) largely useless against humans (Bounce) or b) learned by decidedly non-threatening pokemon (Pluck).
Then again, Flying is the most whored-out type in Pokemon, since it's the only one that doesn't exist on its own (barring weirdness like Keckleon's Color Change).
I've bred like 100 of these stupid eggs and only 5 have come out Jolly.
Female/Jolly/Everstone + Male = WTF?
C'mon. Gimme a break. Grr.
Uhhh should the male be holding the everstone? When you use an everstone properly, the nature will occur 50% of the time. So that 5% number would be pretty astronomically unlikely.
But I forget who holds the everstone, I haven't been breeding much

No no. The Female holds the Everstone.
I've bred enough Pokeymans to know this.
The Poke-gods just hate me.
Where'd the female come from? If you traded for it is there a chance it was hacked? I heard hacked females don't (or sometimes don't) pass on natures with the Everstone.
I've read that Pokés from Kanto or Hoenn or from Japanese games can't make the everstone work. I have no idea whether or not this is true. I've never bred my Kanto Pokés since they were already trained in Leaf Green.
I finally match four digits in the lottery and the prize is a MAX REVIVE? What a ripoff! You can dig those up in the Underground for Pete's sake! What do I get for five digits, a Cheri Berry? (FUME)

Nope. They're both pure-bred from my copy of Diamond.
In fact, I'm pretty sure they're brother and sister.

Yeah, I know, I think I read that. But still, with the lame prize you get for four digits I wouldn't have been surprised if they had made five something equally lame.
(goes of to mope, far far more disappointed than she should be [c'mon, it's Pokemon!])

Something resistant to all of them might be good then right? I think a Grass Type would work.
Has anyone had any experience with Leafeon or Roserade? I was thinking of having one of them take up my empty slot.
Both are very good.
Leafeon is more Physical oriented, so would benefit from a Baton Pass'd Bulk Up. Unfortunately, you need to level it up to like OVER 9000 to get Leaf Blade.
Since I had to level up to OVER 9000 TWICE, I can vouch for what a pain it is. But Leaf Blade is totally worth it, since only three other Pokemon can learn it (Gallade, Grovyle/Sceptile, and Tropius through breeding).
Only problem with Leafy is his kinda small physical movepool.
And yeah, a Max Revive as prize #4 sucks. I got it yesterday, and would've preferred a PP Up instead.
Yeah, the only problem with this is... Hitmonchan don't exist in the wild. Putting me back at square one.
I've never had to work with Smeargle before, so I'm not sure the most efficient way of dealing with him. I'm just kinda annoyed because I spend a little bit trying to catch one with decent IV's for breeding stock and now I've kinda hit this wall.
I'm gonna try that double battle thing that was suggested. The move says last move used by a foe, but it's worth a shot. Getting the Ice punch to go off last is the trick, but that's easy to solve with items.
edit: Well, that's a no go. Last foe means last foe. How the smeg am I going to get this bloody move on it...
edit: nevermind i misunderstood.

We tried nothin' and we're all outta ideas.

I think I have an Adamant Female Sneasel and a Hitmonchan with all three of the elemental punches. A Pimp Named Slickback, errr... Slagmire, has got a ho convention in his hands.
EDIT: Scratch that... Hitmonchan won't tap that at all. No Ice Punch that way.
Now then. I'm torn on what to use for my "pokemon that can counter special sweepers like alakazam and porygon-Z and isn't weak to ice, electric or psychic." Right now my top contenders are Clefable, Ampharos, and Miltank. Actually, Miltank doesn't have very good special defense, I just want it because of heal bell. :P
And nobody suggest Blissey (or Chansey, smartasses). I'm only going to use Snorlax as a last resort if I can't find anything else that works.
edit: You have to use buneary as an in-betweener for moving the element punches from hitmonchan to any ground egg group pokemon like sneasel.
Dusknoir, Magnezone, Bronzong, Probopass are good walls against Tri Attack. I think Clefable and Miltank won't be able to resist it much. Heal Bell is cool to have though.
My vote goes to clefable. I lurve my clefable. Magic guard is an awesome ability which basically nullifies all indirect damage. Sandstorm or hail? Feh. Toxic? Feh. Burn? Feh. Spikes/stealth rock? Feh. Leech seed? Feh. Can't touch this.
Yeah, I got royally screwed by a Cefable in one fight since I wasn't entirely clear on how magic guard works, so I ended up wasting a bunch of turns trying to set up leech seed.
I have a Probopass, but I absolutely loath those twin quadruple weaknesses. I don't want to use Dusknoir since I already have a ghost, Bronzong is a possibility though. I don't know why, but I dislike Magnezone. There's also Likilicky, but I just find it too ugly.

A Calm Gardevoir with jacked up Special Defense and HP can take a lot of hits from Porygon and Alakazam.
Milotic is an excellent special tank and it is not afraid of electric attacks. It's only downside is that it can't deal with other water types very well. I know you don't want something weak to electric but I like to think it's a good option.

I think you did that with me. Poor tangrowth dropped some seeds that didn't do diddly then ate a CM icebeam.
Edit: Every time someone mentions lickilicky I can't help but think of that pic someone made of him wrapped in dynamite with a detonator in his hand and the words "Arceus Ackbar" on the bottom.
I'm also not using any duplicate types, and I'm already using Poliwrath.
To help us better assist you, you should divulge your lineup. You know, to keep us from suggesting any duplicates. Better list their moves and stats also just to be on the safe side.
Yeah, tangrowth is the one I'm trying to replace. It's not that tangrowth is bad, it's just there's this overall special weakness in my lineup that I need to fix.

Thanks, Darion.
Don't worry too much, Ziz, everybody makes mistakes. And if I hadn't gotten one, I would have found another moveset for it anyway.
And it's basically free.

At least part of that's not true. People tried to tell me imported Dittos wouldn't pass on natures when I was trading them but they do.
Rip. Off!

I mean, seriously.
I never even bother to check the lottery because of the crappy prizes. Oooh... Master Ball! EXCITING. Too bad I've already caught EVERYTHING.

Leaf Blade only got really good this gen, they bumped up its power from 70 to 90.

Oh yes, I know. Yet somehow, it still works as my primary special wall. I blame Trace.
After you beat the Elite Four, he'll occasionally show up in swarms.
If you'd like, I can trade you a Cubone egg after I'm done leveling up my Horsea.

It didn't take too long to get a good one I hope?
Also, I'll have you know I was considering tanking with Shuckle but threw out the idea because we already have two Pokes in common. :P

Yes it is.
If you replace anyone, I'd replace that Torkoal. Unless you have something crazy in mind for it, I had the impression that he wasn't very good.
