Oh, well, that's odd news to me! 3v3 is extremely different than what I think of. Then yeah, you can use only 1 weather, sure!

What's better for a chandelure? Flash Fire or Flame Body?

flashfire, it gives immunity to firetype moves and is good for switch ins. flame body is a waste

Well I was thinkin that, but I wasn't sure. Thanks!!
Also, I'm planning an evoilite Dusclops with
Will-o-Wisp
Pain Split
Skill Swap
Now, I can't decide whether the last move should be Embargo or Gravity.
Does anyone have a suggestion or other way to make my Dusclops better?

In Rotation Battles, will Intimidate and similar effects activate even if the Pokemon is not up front upon being sent out?

Battle Subway will auto-level you up to 50. The IV judge in the station will confirm whether you've got any flawless IVs. Combined, they're good enough for almost all purposes.
SuperFreak: Gravity if you want to run a Gravity team. (The key thing is Gravity reduces Evasion, so you can always pack stuff like Focus Blast and Thunder and not worry about misses. You can also fire off Earthquakes with impunity; but equally, you can't switch into them safely, so don't carry stuff like Levitate Bronzong). Embargo sounds weird, I'm not sure what it'd be good for. (Skill Swap seems odd too, what exactly do you want to take the ability of?) Substitute is a good idea with Pain Split. You may want to pack an attack to avoid being Taunt and Trickscarf bait; given its low offenses, I'd consider Night Shade

How exactly do you increase your IVs? Because all I get is 5/6ish...
You breed. 3 IVs from the parents will be randomly chosen and inherited by the baby. You can drastically improve, if not guarantee, one IV is inherited by having the parent hold the relevant power item.
Even without a Power Item, if one parent has a flawless IV (say SpAtk) and another has a flawless IV (say Speed), then there's a 1 in 144 chance of the egg having flawless SpAtk and Speed, which is quite reasonable. Power Items make matters easier (but of course you need to Battle Subway for them, and that's made easier if you already have great Pokemon). If you've caught lots of Pokemon, you may already have some with two, or perhaps even three, flawless IVs. Breeding and egg hatching can be a bit tedious, but you can do it while watching TV or listening to the radio or something.
Smogon has a draft 5th Gen breeding guide. Smogon's down now, but when it's back up, look in Contributions & Corrections > Articles for it.

Well my Dusclops is just part of my Hoenn Team. (All pokes from Hoenn) He's my Staller/Crippler. There's a lot better abilities out there than pressure, and taking away a good ability from my opponent could be crippling to them. I was planning gravity beforehand, I just had the thought for embargo.

im going out on a limb and say adamant to boost your attack for thunder fang, since you have nasty plot already. however, if TF is for water types, try solar beam as part of a sun team. far more power, and covers ground and rock weaknesses as well. if so go timid for speed boost
If you're running only thunder fang, change it to Hp Electric, and run Timid with 252 SpA/Spe.
@ the above poster, solarbeam is a horrible idea. All the other person has to do is see you use solarbeam, switch in a weather inducer, and then your stuck charging for a 60 BP move

I always forget about Hidden Power for some reason. But wouldn't Grass be better, as Grass covers most of Houndoom's weaknesses?

Would a Physical Sweeper Carracosta be better if it ran 252 HP/252 Attk/ 4 Def or
252 Def/ 252 Attk/ 4 HP? Assume that it's running Adamant, and is using Shell Smash, Waterfall/Aqua Tail, Stone Edge, and Earthquake

Sorry that was a misnomer, I meant Physical Wall. So which would max survivability? Max HP or Max Defence?
