I think balanced teams have a couple of dedicated walls in addition to a couple of frail sweepers, while bulky offensive teams have sweepers with bulkier than normal EV spreads.

If I run a HG ROM on a flashcart with the English patch, and used that patched rom for BPs. would the Pokemon be legit? Or would it be hacked if checked?
I'm fairly sure that a Pokemon created by a ROM is hacked, but if you use it just to find out how many Taps you need to do or something, it would still be legit.
How would a Pokemon created on a ROM count as hacked? It's the same game, just on a different cart.
Also what do you mean by the taps part of your post?
EDITED MY MAIN POST.

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. I interperit it as:
If I create a Pokemon on a ROM, will it be counted as legit?
If so, then no.
To understand what Taps meant, you need to read the RNG Guides, it should be explaned there. (I mean tapping as in like poking something)
No I know what taps are, as I am good at RNG abusing.
How are Pokemon not legit if traded from a ROM?
And to clear it up, I was asking:
If I use the english patch on a HG rom, so I can understand what I'm doing, would the Pokemon show up as illegit?

That the ROM is patched to me makes the legitimacy dubious.
If you use an unpatched ROM, and play the game on a flashcart, without use of cheating devices, I would say the Pokemon caught thus are legit. But of course you should only be doing this to run second saves on games you already own, otherwise it's piracy.
EDIT: Whether or not the Pokemon is detectable as hacked has no bearing on whether it IS considered hacked.
By way of example, one could patch the Platinum ROM so that wild level 60 Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres appeared everywhere. The Pokemon would pass all hack checks, but I for one would not consider them legit.

For me to clarify:
If a Pokemon is created artificially by a ROM or AR, then it will not be legit. If you used the ROM for a fast Egg Hatch code, then it will be semi-legit.
Okay, and I'm assuming you know about the patch I'm talking about, right?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Here's the most recent article about it: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64226
But based on your question it sounds like you want a previous one?
If so, I'm not sure if there is one. You could try searching for "stall team building" in the forum search.
Here's Obi's stall team, which I believe is an important milestone kind of team, its from awhile back: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47785
Not sure if there's a thread about building a stall team, but here's Obistall.

Thanks a lot. For some reason I didn't there would be a recent that's why I asked for an older one. The first link was what I was really looking for, but thanks for the other one as well.
Each room of the cave (even those tiny rooms with the single rock in them) has a different set of Unown (although they might overlap a bit, I'm not positive).
Why is Stone Edge used over Rock Slide on DD Tyranitar?
Just an example in power difference:
Both are clean 2HKO's, although Rock Slide has a very small chance to 3HKO if Stealth Rock isn't up and Heatran has Leftovers, both of which are pretty hefty 'if's'.
Rock Slide still scores necessary KO's against super-effective targets:
OHKOs 87.12% of the time with Stealth Rock.
Always OHKOs with Stealth Rock, OHKOs 79.49% of the time otherwise.
The selling points:
So all in all, my simple question is: why do people use Stone Edge over Rock Slide on DDTar?
Just an example in power difference:
- +1 Rock Slide v. 4 / 0 Heatran: 550 Atk vs 248 Def & 324 HP (75 Base Power): 178 - 211 (54.94% - 65.12%)
- +1 Stone Edge v. 4 / 0 Heatran: 550 Atk vs 248 Def & 324 HP (100 Base Power): 238 - 282 (73.46% - 87.04%)
Both are clean 2HKO's, although Rock Slide has a very small chance to 3HKO if Stealth Rock isn't up and Heatran has Leftovers, both of which are pretty hefty 'if's'.
Rock Slide still scores necessary KO's against super-effective targets:
- +1 Rock Slide v. 248 / 228 Bold Zapdos: 550 Atk vs 289 Def & 383 HP (75 Base Power): 306 - 362 (79.90% - 94.52%)
Always OHKOs with Stealth Rock. - Rock Slide v. 0 / 4 Gyarados: 367 Atk vs 194 Def & 331 HP (75 Base Power): 306 - 362 (92.45% - 109.37%)
Always OHKOs with Stealth Rock, OHKOs 92.45% of the time without Stealth Rock. - Rock Slide v. 156 / 96 Gyarados: 367 Atk vs 208 Def & 370 HP (75 Base Power): 288 - 338 (77.84% - 91.35%)
Always OHKOs with Stealth Rock. - Rock Slide v. 0 / 4 Salamence: 367 Atk vs 197 Def & 331 HP (75 Base Power): 302 - 356 (91.24% - 107.55%)
Always OHKOs with Stealth Rock, OHKOs 79.49% of the time otherwise.
OHKOs 87.12% of the time with Stealth Rock.
Always OHKOs with Stealth Rock, OHKOs 79.49% of the time otherwise.
The selling points:
- Rock Slide has better accuracy than Stone Edge (90 : 80)
- Rock Slide has much more PP than Stone Edge's measly 8 (no more Pressure stall crap!)
So all in all, my simple question is: why do people use Stone Edge over Rock Slide on DDTar?
Oh cool thats sounds fun thanks :)
i have a opinion question i caught a Rash heatran but i was going for the naive im plannig on using it as a scarfed heatran revenge killer should i keep the heartran or keep going for the naive?

The 2nd part of the description is what you want. A synchronizer is any pokemon that has this ability.

+1 Adamant Tyranitar vs...Analysis said:
(Stone Edge first, Rock Slide second)
Gliscor (252 HP/40 Def Impish)
604 Atk vs 325 Def & 354 HP (100 Base Power): 201 - 237 (56.78% - 66.95%) (100% 2HKO w/ Left, 64% w/ Accuracy, no Sand Veil)
604 Atk vs 325 Def & 354 HP (75 Base Power): 151 - 178 (42.66% - 50.28%) (33.27% 2HKO w/ SR/Left, 26.95% w/ Accuracy, no Sand Veil)
Gliscor can probably stall Stone Edge out with Roost regardless.
Forretress (252 HP/144 Def Relaxed)
604 Atk vs 387 Def & 354 HP (100 Base Power): 169 - 199 (47.74% - 56.21%) (100% 2HKO w/ SR/Left)
604 Atk vs 387 Def & 354 HP (75 Base Power): 127 - 150 (35.88% - 42.37%) (No 2HKO)
Fire Punch will OHKO but Stone Edge is much more useful with Aqua Tail.
Mamoswine (0 HP/4 Def Adamant)
604 Atk vs 197 Def & 361 HP (100 Base Power): 330 - 388 (91.41% - 107.48%) (OHKO w/ SR)
604 Atk vs 197 Def & 361 HP (75 Base Power): 247 - 292 (68.42% - 80.89%) (no OHKO for Rock Slide or Crunch)
604 Atk vs 197 Def & 361 HP (75 Base Power): 330 - 390 (91.41% - 108.03%) (Fire Punch, OHKO w/ SR)
Aqua Tail will also OHKO.
Scizor (248 HP/0 Def Adamant)
604 Atk vs 236 Def & 343 HP (100 Base Power): 274 - 324 (79.88% - 94.46%) (41.03% OHKO w/ SR)
604 Atk vs 236 Def & 343 HP (75 Base Power): 207 - 244 (60.35% - 71.14%) (No OHKO without Spikes)
Again, Fire Punch will OHKO but Stone Edge is much better with Aqua Tail.
Skarmory (252 HP/176 Def Impish)
604 Atk vs 396 Def & 334 HP (100 Base Power): 165 - 195 (49.40% - 58.38%) (2HKO w/ SR/Left)
604 Atk vs 396 Def & 334 HP (75 Base Power): 124 - 147 (37.13% - 44.01%) (.07% 2HKO w/ Shed Shell and SR)
Fire Punch should do the same damage as Stone Edge.
Suicune (252 HP/252 Def Bold)
604 Atk vs 361 Def & 404 HP (100 Base Power): 180 - 213 (44.55% - 52.72%) (80.08% 2HKO w/ SR/Left, 2HKO w/Sandstorm)
604 Atk vs 361 Def & 404 HP (75 Base Power): 135 - 160 (33.42% - 39.60%) (No 2HKO)
This is probably the biggest drop in power. You never have a shot at 2HKOing with Rock Slide while it's guarenteed with Stone Edge and don't have any other moves to hit them harder.
Vaporeon (188 HP/252 Def Bold)
604 Atk vs 240 Def & 448 HP (100 Base Power): 271 - 319 (60.49% - 71.21%) (2HKO, 64% w/ Accuracy)
604 Atk vs 240 Def & 448 HP (75 Base Power): 204 - 240 (45.54% - 53.57%) (91.72% 2HKO w/ SR/Left, 2HKO w/Sandstorm)
604 Atk vs 240 Def & 448 HP (80 Base Power): 217 - 256 (48.44% - 57.14%) (2HKO)
Crunch is your best bet regardless.
Gyarados (252 HP/252 Def Impish, Intimidate)
403 Atk vs 282 Def & 394 HP (100 Base Power): 308 - 366 (78.17% - 92.89%) (OHKO w/SR)
403 Atk vs 282 Def & 394 HP (75 Base Power): 234 - 276 (59.39% - 70.05%)
I think there's a chance to OHKO with Rock Slide because of Sandstorm. This is also more common than Bulky Gyara.
Even if you did have the same 2HKO's, Stone Edge has 33.3% more power which means you have to do that much less damage to your counters to OHKO them.
