Battle Night Trivia 9/5

This game is pretty simple...send a PM to me (Sasami) with your answers to the following questions. The first person to get a question right will get the prize for that question (these prizes vary depending on difficulty). If someone gets 5+ correct, though, I may just give them credit for some of them at first to give others a chance.

Any PMs sent to me after 11pm EST will not count.

1.) How do you unlock a shiny Gyarados Profile Pokemon?
2.) In the main Pokemon games, how many steel-type gym leaders have there been?
3.) How early in the games (D/P/Pt) can you get Yache berries?
4.) How many Pokemon learn Iron Defense from their previous evolutions only?
5.) Which attacks can cause Confusion?
6.) Which Pokemon have remained OU every generation?
7.) What type of set got Umbreon into OU a couple months ago?
8.) Create a counter for DD and CB Tyranitar. It cannot be a Pokemon already listed as a counter on Smogon. I'll pick the best entry.
9.) Why was Tauros so popular competitively in RBY?
10.) Which Pokemon can run the FEAR set BESIDES Rattata/Raticate?

1.) Catch 15 Pokemon in the Lake of Rage (Mimi).
2.) Two (Ninja).
3.) Route 201 from wild Starly (Malachi).
4.) Seven: Salamence, Beedrill, Butterfree, Dustox, Beautifly, Huntail, and Gorebyss (N/A).
5.) Chatter, Confuse Ray, Confusion, Dizzy Punch, DynamicPunch, Flatter, Outrage, Petal Dance, Psybeam, Rock Climb, Secret Power, Signal Beam, Supersonic, Swagger, Sweet Kiss, Teeter Dance, Thrash, Water Pulse. I went by who got the most (Malachi).
6.) Gengar, Starmie, Zapdos, Snorlax (Zenith).
7.) Wish Passer, often with Mean Look (Ninja).
8.) There were two really good ones so I decided on a tie. The winning entries were a defensive Hitmontop with Mach Punch and an extremely bulky Milotic taking advantage of Marvel Scale (Flame Orb), Haze, and Reflect (Zenith and Malachi).
9.) High attack and STAB on Hyper Beam plus high speed which means lots of critical hits (Zenith).
10.) Turns out there are a ton thanks to Platinum, haha, sorry. I went with who listed the most (Zenith).

Lulz, you didn't like my extremely uncreative Relicanth? xD

It was better than Mimi's Furret suggestion, at least :p.

But it was more that after running calcs it looked like the Relicanth wouldn't work too well. With a Choice Band or one Dragon Dance up, Tyranitar always 2HKOs with EQ (Relicath is weak to ground, remember) and sometimes can OHKO. Meanwhile, Relicath can't even OHKO back XD;.

Hmmm, guess I overestimated Relicanth's Defense....or underestimated T-tar. >_>

I knew he was weak to ground, but I was thinking more of switching in against a T-tar that was Choice Banded into some other move, although I guess that wouldn't work for DD. =(

Yay! I had actually used the Reflect / Haze Milotic against a DD Ttar earlier today, and I can't believe I mised Chatter and Dynamicpunch!

Hahaha, I only listed one pokemon for #6 and #10 >_<

For #5, I had missed Thrash, Outrage, Petal Dance and Secret Power @.@
