they call me Varanus
Nevermind. They appeared as soon as I posted this lol.

Anyways. Do horde Pokemon always have hidden abilities?

An easy way to find Pokemon with Hidden Abilities in Hordes is to use Skill Swap on them :)

Does anyone know how to add a passerby to the friends list? Saw this cute girl on the subway twice now and we exchanged o-powers. I think she might be the one.

Is it possible to breed Stealth Rock onto Gible now? (using Tyrunt?)

Sorry, but Gible doesn't get Stealth Rock as an Egg Move.
Not even in the Sixth Generation.

OK so today i was pokeradar chaining at route 5 and on about chain 8 (gulpin) i encountered Articuno when i was resetting the radar. Even though I had a super repel active. After it fled, the patch of grass did not re-shake so I assumed my chain was broken. Was i correct in this assumption, do encountering the legendary birds during chaining break the chain?
 
No, legendary birds do not break the chain. You most likely stepped into the wrong patch of grass that you previously stepped in to.

You can move acquaintances to friends list after a battle, so I'm guessing it works for Passerbys as well.
Don't let her be the one that got away XD

The chance of finding a shiny in the wild is around the 1/4000.
Magmarizer can be bought for 32BP in the Battle Maison.

The chance of finding a shiny is 1/4096, however since in hordes you meet five pokemon at a time, your chances are improved to about 1/819.

Is that 1/4096 chance in XY confirmed?
How about the chance of finding a shiny in the friend Safari?

Are there any Pokemon that can't be shiny in Pokemon X and Y?

Presumably, every stationary Pokemon in the game. So Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde, Mewtwo, and the three birds. The stationary Snorlax has been debated as well. Nobody has been able to provide proof that they can be shiny in X/Y, but it's not 100% conclusive. It's a reasonable assumption at this point, though.

Where can I get a second King's Rock? Considering that there are two King's Rock evolution Pokemon, but there seems to be only one King's Rock in the game...

What do I prefer to do is this; bring a Pokémon with the ability Compound Eyes (easy way; catch a Caterpie in the Santalune Forest and make it evolve all the way to Butterfree) and go fish anywhere you can find Poliwhirl. Bring also with you a Pokémon that can learn the move Thief (easy way; this same Butterfree can learn it through TM).

Fish a Poliwhirl with the Compound Eyes Pokémon in front of your party (not knocked out). Then, use Thief on the Poliwhirl. If the Poliwhirl has a King's Rock, it will steal it and you just need to run away from it afterward. There you go; a free King's Rock! Important to note; don't give any item to your Butterfree. Otherwise, even if the opponent has an item, it won't steal it.

If you just want a Politoed for pokedex purposes, they're catchable on Route 19 with a super rod, and then use your King's Rock for Slowking.
