simple answer.....no. not until the movie event comes out in japan in a month or so.
 
Not sure if this goes here but concerning double battles:

Do moves like Earthquake get diminished for the number of pokemon it hits, diminished depending on the number of pokemon on the field whether they get hit or not, or does it not get diminshed at all and hit everyone with a 100 power attack?

Concerning trickroom:

Does paralysis make you attack first? And also, how will gyro ball work if a super slow bronzong ends up attacking first due to trick room?

They should hit everyone with a 100 power attack.

Paralysis' effect doesn't reverse with Trick Room, if I recall correctly.
Gyro Ball's power is effected by the speed stat. If an effect switches the order of turns, that makes no difference. The stats, when viewed on their Summary, are still the same.

Do held evolution items (King's Rock, Metal Coat, etc.) disappear when the compatible pokemon holding it is traded and evolves?

EDIT: Also a question regarding EVs, it is possible to get a total of 8EVs in one battle with the use of the combination of Pokerus and Macho Brace?

1. Yes.
2. Yes. Battle a pokemon that offers 2 Evs at start. Pokerus will double that to 4 and Macho brace will double Pkrs gain to 8

Shaymin outbreak on the GTS?

What is the deal with these things? I have a TRU Shaymin, so I'm able to search for them on the GTS, and until recently nothing came up. But nooooow.. all of a sudden people are offering Shaymin, and every other pokemon being offered is asking for Shaymin. It's near impossible to get anything now adays.

The OTs on these things (Yay Platinum) typically read "Movie11" but sometimes I see "TRU" Are these things hacked or do non-US Shaymin not come with the Classic ribbon?

And everytime a Shaymin is offered for something reasonable, it either gets traded to another trainer or the server gets overloaded.

It's just like the darkrai outbreak. Back during the Darkrai events everyone wanted a darkrai. Now everyone wants a shaymin. I bet once Arceus releases in JP and the US everyone will want that too.

Also;
The Power Items are actually more efficiant than the Macho Brace, if you can afford them.

Power Items ADD 4 EVs, rather than multiplying.
For example, the Power Anklet gives 4 Speed EVs.
Say you defeat a Bibarel. You'd gain 2 Attack EVs, and 4 Speed EVs.

Pokerus doubles this too.
Bibarel would give 4 Attack EVs and 8 Speed EVs.
Beating a Magikarp would give 5 Speed EVs- 10 with Pokerus.
 
Darkrai

The newer pokemon ranger has been out for awhile, and I remembered something about getting darkrai when you beat it. Is it still possible to claim? Or will there be an even in the furture to get one?

My first guess was that the non US event Shaymin didn't have Classic ribbon, but this was my second guess. I've seen five Shiny Shaymin on there, and they all have the same OT name. Those are obviously fake.

Its because oaks leter is about to be released, allowing JP plat to let people catch it. However, just like with the unbanning of darkrai on the GTS, nintendo is stupid, and releaesd the ban a few days before the letter is out. (iIRC correctly, oaks letter is available for Jp plat on the 20th)

So in short, until then, all shaymin on GTS are lolhax, and even then, IIRC the plat shaymin is lv 30.

Concerning Cherrim's ability:

What does it boost? Serebii says the 2 attack stats while Smogon says Attack and Spdef(random). Which is it?

Ya, just times a million. Me thinks the kiddies will go nutters... "OMGZ TEH GODZ POKEMONZ!!!!!11!!"

This will eventually lead to the GTS totally overrun by Arceus and nothing else... -_-' The GTS is doomed to epically fail.
