I run Nihilego basically as a second, weaker and slower pheromosa.

Nihilego @ Focus Sash
Timid, 252 SpAt, 252 Spd, 4 SpDF? (I don't remember where I put the 4, just THAT I put the 4)
- Thunderbolt
- Grass Knot
- Power Gem
- Sludge Wave

Pheromosa @ Life Orb
Rash, 252 SpAt, 252 Spd, 4 Atk
- Focus Blast
- U-Turn
- Bug Buzz
- Ice Beam

Kommo-o @ Steelium Z
Calm Nature, 252 SpAt, 252 Spd, 4 HP (It was a shiny, so I didn't have a choice re:nature)
- Focus Blast
- Clanging Scales
- Flash Cannon
- Flamethrower

Tapu Fini @ Leftovers
Modest Nature, 252 SpAt, 252 HP, 4 Spd
- Nature' s Madness
- Muddy Water
- Aqua Ring
- Moonblast

The gimmick is that if there's anything that can look at Pheromosa funny, I U-turn into Tapu Fini or Kommo-o, depending. Basically use Nihilego and Pheromosa to pick dudes off til they die, at which point Kommo-o can generally get neutral hits in while Tapu Fini tanks all the damage she can. (Nihilego is who I remove when I go to singles)

Why Nihilego? I haven't finished the UB plotline yet, and she's the best one I have besides my three other Pheromosa.

Does Cosmoem get a boost from eviolite or is it considered fully evolved?

I mean it only gets Cosmic Power, Teleport, and Splash, but it'd be funny if it had a use in battle somehow. It has high defensive stats so eviolite working would be neat. Although Cosmog and Cosmoem are considered a "special" pokemon that's too OP to use, for whatever reason.

It's unevolved, so it gets the boost. The question is, how exactly do you plan on using that, PP stalling? Because there are far better Pokemon for that job.

When does it rain in Malie Garden, and can you "force" a weather change by zoning out or changing islands and coming back? I'm trying to get the sos chain going for a Politoed and I don't have anyone (yet) that can make it rain.

I'm on the Castform currency train, but not getting any bites for the Politoed. I figured I could grind one out and try for the Magmortar or Electivire that I also still need while I was waiting.

Gotta get off work, then breed up babies, then got some social commitments, but I'll be around.

e: Arrg didn't actually get pokerus from me, I think - we never managed to be online simultaneously, so if you're picking up the Mimikyu anyway you should toss the 'rus.

The game teaches you basically anything you need to know. You don't need to know any of that IV/EV crap unless you want to play multiplayer, really.
