Is there a section of the forums were I can ask about team building? I know that there is the super training thread and the rate my team section, but I would like to ask about how to build a good competitive team.

Got it memorized?
You're looking for the Competitive Rate My Team forum here: http://www.serebiiforums.com/forumdisplay.php?209-Competitive-Rate-My-Team
There are RMT subforums for 6th gen as well as older gen teams. Otherwise you can check out the general competitive forum for discussion of specific pokemon and strategies or of the metagame in general.
I'm casually looking for desired/cool Smeargle combos. Can you guys recommend some or point me towards a webpage?
To clarify, I don't need competitive movesets, just fun things/useful in game. Thanks!
The one I am working on currently has
1. Happy Hour
2. Pay Day
Is there any other move that increases Money/Exp or something from a battle?

Thank you for the quick reply and advice!
Thanks!
Sorry for the stupid question, I just wanted to know if there were any special 'tricks' or 'triggers' for it. But when I switched on my game this morning it was raining in Ambrette Town, so it seems it really is just a matter of random luck. I got my Goodra in the end though, so it's all good. I'll try and think of some fun smeargal combos. As for payday and happy hour. Try equipping him/her with the amulet coin

You asked for a good one, I gave you a good one.
You also ask "any suggestions?", yeah, I suggest the ones I posted before lol~
But if you want more people to give you advice go to the places that Wulava said, or for specific pokemon: go here.
PS: Bulletproof >>>>>>>>> Overgrow
yeah, about half those moves are completely unusable on said pokemon. Aran had it right, sorta. I would personally use hyper beam over moonblast as when boosted by pixilate it can obliterate a ton of things, as shown below
252+ SpA Sylveon Moonblast vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Multiscale Dragonite: 153-180 (47.2 - 55.5%) -- 74.6% chance to 2HKO
252+ SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Beam vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Multiscale Dragonite: 310-366 (95.6 - 112.9%) -- 75% chance to OHKO
252+ SpA Sylveon Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Giratina: 194-230 (38.4 - 45.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
252+ SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Giratina: 396-468 (78.5 - 92.8%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
252+ SpA Sylveon Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Goodra: 144-170 (37.5 - 44.2%) -- 1.6% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ SpA Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Beam vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Goodra: 290-344 (75.5 - 89.5%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

On a side note~
A question about Pixilate (and other such abilities)
Do Hidden Power keep their Type, or with them being Normal, does the Ability (Pixilate) interfere and change it to Fairy?

Pixilate has no effect, and hidden power can never be the normal (or fairy type) thus preventing it from working like that.

I mean Normal, in terms that it's category is "Normal", not that the damage is normal. Since that's what Pixilate takes into account.
(Example: Hyper Beam & Quick Attack are Normal Type, that get converted to Fairy with the aid of Pixilate)
But thanks, that answers my question. Despite being normal Type, the damage category of Hidden Power remains unchanged to whatever type it is (Pre or after Pixilate)

No, it's always from both.

Another new feature is the furthering of IV transfer. Previously, when the parent Pokémon had power items attached, it guaranteed the transfer of one of the IVs, while several IVs were guaranteed to pass down. However, as of X & Y, if you have one of the parents hold the Destiny Knot item, then 5 IVs total from either parent will be guaranteed to be transferred
From what it suggests, you can get 5 IVs from a single parent.

Having carefully tracked this in my own game, I can confirm that it is possible for the 5 IVs passed via Destiny Knot to all come from the same parent. It may not be very likely, but it can happen.
