I tried this to get my Roserade to learn Grasswhistle, and it didn't work, so I'd have to say no.

it's a 100% no for sure. It may seem like a pain in the ass, but it keeps the noobs w/o Spore Brelooms.
in my experience, i've found the best and most useful pokemon are 75% of the time found in the wild, not bred... am i stupid?
Without breeding you don't have:
Egg moves
Passing down good IVs from parents
50% chance of getting the correct nature with an Everstone
All of these are vital in competitive battling. IVs can boost a stat by up to 31 points and natures give a 10% boost to a stat while dropping 10% from another, and egg moves are completely vital to some movesets. That's a big difference to me.
Very. RNG manipulation makes the question moot anyway, since you can legitimately force the game to give you whatever IVs you want =/
EDIT: Ninja'd, by a better post no less =(
In the actual game I don't think this would happen but in Shoddy Battle it would.
Ah, a Gastrodon question. ^_^
You see, Gastrodon was a pokémon originally intended to be included in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. However, for whatever reason, programmers (or whoever makes such decisions) decided to not have Gastrodon in the game. Interestingly enough, programmers neglected to remove Gastrodon's back sprite from the game, and judging from its appearance, the original Gastrodon was very likely to have a slightly different design.
Is having 512 evs illegal?
510 is the cap.
Yes. You can have a maximum of 510 EVs on a Pokemon, and a maximum 255 in a single stat, though you should only put up to 252 in any given stat (those last 3 EVs don't do anything, since your stat is increased by 1 at level 100 for each 4 EVs you put into a stat).
Edit: Quality over speed, Cards.
Megahorn could be useful for Lucian (Psychic). There aren't any grass-types in the E4 (besides Cynthia's Roserade, which is half-poison, and a fire move would kill her anyway), and the only trainer who you would have better coverage against is Flint (Fire), assuming you don't have Bounce or would rather not use it.
Team-wise, I'd say bring a fire- or flying-type to take care of Aaron (Bug) and Cynthia's Roserade (Fire would also take care of her Lucario), a water-type or two for Bertha (Ground) and Flint, an ice-type for additional coverage against bertha and for Cynthia's Garchomp and Togekiss, an electric-type (prefferably physical, like Electivire) for Cynthia's Milotic and Togekiss, and any other pokemon you may need to take care of Cynthia's Lucario and Spiritomb, Lucian's Bronzong, and any other pokemon seen here that you may have problems with.
(This is all assuming you're playing Platinum, by the way.)
Thanks for the information. Its gonna serve to be useful
Thanks alot! I guess my source saying it was from Smogon was wrong. I found the pictures :D
Thanks alot mate <3
~I don't know the solution for that question.
~Yes, the CB Set of Metagross can be viewed here: http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/metagross
You mention the analysis so I assume you read it... It specifically says Earthquake is used to hit bulky poison-types who sponge Close Clombat.
it would help to know the pokemon you're talking about
if you mean hitmonlee (or any pokemon), the analysis answers all your questions
edit: in fact like 80% of your questions can be answered from the actual analysis
