Considering the fact that only five Pokemon get it (Woobat/Swoobat, Bidoof/Bibarel, and Numel), and they're all terrible, they'd be better served running their more standard options (Kee/Salac for Swoobat, Chesto for Bibarel, and LO for LC Numel).

I'm thinking on giving away some battle ready Pokemon I've been using myself. I know it can be a pain in the ass to obtain the right Pokemon that are ready to battle, especially when you're excited and just want to play quickly. Since I don't battle so much anymore I thought of giving some away for free. Would that be wanted?
YES!! :)
Even if you gave away Lv. 3 Rattatas, people would want them.
Nothing has really changed afaik. VGC 2016 still applies the pentagon rule and the non-pentagon unban is most likely just for this battlespot season anyway.
I believe Most is giving different Ditto away in his trade thread.
I am, kind of. Check out my trade trhead. There might be some interesting stuff for you among those Pokemon. Feel free to leave a message if anything interests you.
So I plan on doing another retro giveaway later in the coming weeks...not sure exactly when. Grand prize will be a shiny bold 30/18/31/30/31/30 Manaphy, and in addition, there will be a chance to win a HP Grass/Ice/Electric Oblivia Heatran. Maybe Oblivia Deoxys, but not 100% on it at the moment. Do note that I no longer own any cartridges as I have them in plain, simple .pkm format, which means...I'll need at least 2-3 distributors. Distributors have semi-redis rights to these Pokemon. (More than 3 in question)
PREREQUISITES:
Must have the ability to handle 4th and 5th gen .pkm's.
You must not be in the Smogon blacklist.
SIDE NOTES:
- First in Smogon to distribute a flawless Oblivia Deoxys (November 2010, I vividly remember acquiring it the day before Thanksgiving)
- First in Smogon to distribute a series of flawless Oblivia Heatran (October 2010, I think...do note that these come with the special Eruption move, exclusively from Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs)

Don't give up on learning to RNG. It is VERY difficult at first and once you learn it you will be kicking yourself for not understanding sooner (if your experience is anything like mine was).
Anyway for a more relevant part of my post, is Naive or Hasty preferred for Hoopa and why?
I think Hasty is preferred due to Hoopa having absolutely horrible Physical Defence. On some sets though, Naive would help you take priority better. Either one would be good if you're resetting for it though.Regiultima115 said:

I can give you one. Gible-line is btw easier to get in a friend safari xP I'll add you and come online asap...
Volt Tackle, and three other egg moves. It's in the Field egg group, so it's not like any of its other ones are particularly hard to pass down to it, and since you need a Pikachu to hold the Light Ball to get Volt Tackle, getting one with a usable nature AND IV's in all the right places is maddening enough. Plus it's not like it's ever really using the others given how spectacularly frail it is...
Encore, Fakeout.......er got nothing...
Encore + Fake Out are the most useful imo.
They allow you to apply Fake Out pressure in doubles and if an opponent is stupid enough to Protect first turn to avoid Fake Out, he gets Encore'd into Protect.

I'm assuming you're referring to this season's Battle Spot regulations? The non-pentagon rule won't be forever, likely only this season (and VGC still uses the pentagon-only rule), so it won't make pentagon mons any less valuable. Perhaps RNGs will see some slight increase for those who want to make use of them, but I can't imagine it having too great an effect on anything..
Are they all in regular Poke Balls?Does anyone want free breedables/spitbacks? Here's my list:
