Does Magic Guard encompass of everything that Overcoat can do? Overcoat prevents weather damage, but Magic Guard prevents indirect damage, which apparently, weather damage is part of. So would it be wrong to say Magic Guard is almost strictly better, if not strictly better than Overcoat?

It is. My Reuniclus had Magic Guard, and it did the same thing that Overcoat would have done in Sandstorms and hailstorms (Plus a heck of a lot more.) So yes, it is a lot better.

Thanks. A shame my Reuniclus has Overcoat. (It has neat IVs though, so I won't be changing it.)

I was too lazy to wait for a Deino with dark pulse so I'm using crunch instead. My attack and sp attack only differ by 20 points. I was wondering where would be a good spot to get some attack evs?

How far are you in the game currently?
 
Would the relic castle count as a cave for the dusk ball to work?

Not exactly. I believe the background has to be dark blue in order for it to count as a 'cave'. I'm not 100% sure, though.

I'm done with pretty much everything if that helps. Well, except the e4 second round.
You're farther then me, but I noticed that a lot of trainers I've seen use pokemon that give attack evs.

I'm pretty sure Dusk Balls work inside no matter what time of day, but I'm not completely sure.
 
I do believe so, not 100% positive, but I've never had any trouble with the few I did throw in there.

Great, two conflicting answers that are not 100% sure. Can I have a third opinion?

._. I'm such a nerd I was done with the e4 and all that good stuff in less than 3 days.

Thanks I'll probably google it if nothing comes up.

Where are there trainers you can fight again and again for exp. I know the sports dome and ferris wheel in Nimbasa and of course the E4, but any others?

Why couldn't they have added a vs seeker.

Ok, such a noob question here!
Can vanyone recommend a good party for Elesa, all of my Pokemon either have a weakness to one of her Emolgas' types or their attacks are only super effective on one of emolga's types and not very/ no effective on the other... anyone know a good moveset/ Pokemon party to have I'm really stuck.
