Maybe if you want people to help you, you could start by not being incredibly vague?

If you're curious as to how to properly construct movesets for Pokemon, think about them in the context of what they're trying to accomplish as a team, and choose movesets from there. Smogon University's analyses tend to be informative in terms of describing the use of specific Pokemon in a competitive environment.

I do believe the point of asking in the public forum was to gain someone willing to aid me in private, as it's much easier for me to keep track of a conversation that way. As for it being a competitive team, I don't do competitive battles. I simply wish for help on what nature would be best for certain pokemon. I was going to provide the pokemon and move sets when I received a PM from someone, I was pretty sure that was a common assumption one would make when the details aren't provided up front.

Yes, as long as one of them is from a foreign game.

If my Pokémon has Pokérus and defeats a horde of single-species Pokémon, will it get double the EVs from the whole horde, or must the Pokémon defeat the whole horde with a single hit?

It will get double EVs from the whole horde no matter how many turns it takes to defeat it.

I'm not sure if this has been here before, but when mega-Kangaskhan uses power-up punch, does it receive one or two boosts?

It would get two Attack boosts, meaning it would essentially function as a Damage-Dealing Swords Dance.

It would get two Attack boosts, meaning it would essentially function as a Damage-Dealing Swords Dance.

Note that if it is used against a Ghost Type, it does not provide the boost, so it is not as reliable, although almost so. It is definitely better, however.

Swords Dance, though, is also not 100% reliable, as it can be Taunted out, but of course, that's a bit rare.

Power-Up Punch, though, is definitely better for it.

Any Pokemon Taunting Mega Kangaskhan is in huge trouble, with a few exceptions.

It cannot use Swords Dance, anyway.

if a pokemon has the ability traunt, and uses hyperbeam/giga impact, how many turns would that pokemon be unable to attack?

 

[Mew The Gato]

Just that Truant turn. In other words, just one. However, it should never be used anyway, since Slaking can usually just switch out on that Truant turn, which is not possible if it uses those moves.

My Pokemon is doing something weird. Whenever I send it out to battle, it shakes a bit, and sometimes the text says ">Pokemon< can't wait to start" or "It feels uneasy". What does this mean? What I remember doing is just using the Super Training a bit and then feeding them some PokePuffs and then putting them in Day Care.

It's associated with Pokemon-Amie affection at level 2.

[Lord Fighting]

Do all Pokemon in the friend safari automatically have their HA or is it just the 3 specific ones everyone gets?

 

[Wishmaker Latias]

Does Protect ,Detect ,Endure and such move's failure rate stacks?
Example:
A Smeargle uses Protect.
Then if it uses Detect does it have a 100% chance too?
