Damage Calculation Tools:

The Formula: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Damage_modification#Damage_formula

Every Referee should have at least an idea of what they're calculating every time they enter numbers into the calculator. This is a good overview of all the parts of the damage calculation process.

Pokemon Showdown: http://pokemonshowdown.com/damagecalc/

This is the most complete calculator I've seen this far for Gen VI, though there are some pitfalls associated with it. Namely it assigns EVs and moves based on popularity of the sets on Pokemon Showdown. You need to redistribute all the EVs to be 252 and give everyone the correct Nature/Moves and anything else. This method will not work easily if using custom moves, such as with Aqua Balls.

Aqua Ball Moves:

When your Pokemon is in an Aquaball it can learn up to 2 special attacks. These attacks are listed below. Make your battles a bit more interesting by using them! And don't think they're limited to Stadium battles, either. Try them out on a mission!

Each attack is similar to one or more existing Pokemon moves.

To use an Aqua Ball attack, your Pokemon must be able to learn one of the similar moves. For example, Squirtle can learn Hydro Pump, and therefore can also use Aqua Cannon. However, Charmander can't use either of the similar moves, so Aqua Cannon is off-limits.

Choose carefully! Once you've learned an Aqua Ball attack, it becomes a permanent part of that Pokemon's movepool, and you are only allowed two Aqua Ball attacks per Pokemon.

If you transfer your Pokemon out of the Aqua Ball, it loses the ability to use these attacks.

Unless indicated, Physical attacks will trigger 'contact' abilities like Rough Skin, and Special attacks will not.
