Fire Punch and Thunderpunch are not Egg Moves, so no.

Does anybody know what it means when a sort of flashing blue orb appears over your an acquaintance's (or friend or passerby's) character avatar in the game?

I'd never seen it before but my first wild encounter after it showed up was with a shiny sigilyph and I'm wondering if there was any correlation between those two events O_O

It means they're using an O-Power.

Aside from the shiny charm, there's no way to increase the chance of a Friend Safari shiny. Apparently, there might be a higher shiny rate in the Safari, but it's not possible to confirm anything about FS odds being different since so many more people hunt in there.

My Goodra is at level 76 and here are her stats:

247/176/147/222/270/138

It currently knows: Dragon Pulse, Muddy Water, Rain Dance and Sludge Bomb. I was considering on getting rid of Muddy Water and replacing it with Thunder, what do you guys think?

Also my Aromatssie:

Level 76: 251/143/145/195/154/88

It knows: Psychic, Moonblast, Calm Mind and Echoed Voice, any suggestions?

What are you planning to use your Pokemon for? What are their teammates?

Context is important if you want anything resembling useful advice.
 
During game play, a player can find TM 12 (Taunt) in Lysandre Labs by talking to a Team Flare Grunt.

Apparently, I must not have spoken to the correct grunt, since I didn't get the TM.

I have now beaten the E-4, and the Champion. Went back to Lysandre Labs, but the place is completely empty.

Aside from restarting my game, is there any other way for me to still obtain TM 12?

The Grunt should still be in Lysandre Labs, even after the rest of the place is cleared (for basically this purpose). It should be in one of the rooms of the western portion of first floor.

That's possible, because of the Naval Rock event. However, the hack check Poké Transporter uses isn't all that thorough, so if you're uncertain, you may want to see if there's anything else suspicious about it, and use your judgement.

The grunt is still there. I got mine post elite 4
There are guides on youtube that cover all TM locations in Kalos, its how I figured out how to get a couple myself.

@D!3g0 Posting raw stat totals like that doesn't actually tell us much about the pokemon. What does is the IVs of the pokemon, nature/characteristic, and EV growth.

I don't know what items or Abilities you're running, but eh

There are better Pokemon than Goodra to abuse Rain Dance + whatever move; considering that using Rain Dance robs you of a coverage slot and a turn to use it, and considering that you risk giving your opposing team a boost while using a team that isn't really built to take too much advantage of the move yourself, you're usually better off just running four attacks on it. Offensively inclined Goodra typically runs Draco Meteor in conjunction with a Fire move for neutral coverage, then picks the other two slots based on what else it wants to beat; using Thunderbolt is good for switchins like Azumarill and Togekiss, whereas Sludge Bomb is better against Sylveon and Florges. Focus Blast can be used for Tyranitar, whereas Dragon Tail can phaze lots of things (and is probably better for non-Choice Goodra).

Aromatisse is probably fine if you insist on using it as a CM tank, though it's going to be walled outright by any Steel-type and is going to probably lose its boosts once it's forced to switch. I'd say replace Echoed Voice with either a better coverage move, like Thunderbolt or something, or something like Reflect or Aromatherapy to help play team support. Charm could be interesting, considering the majority of Steels are physical; ideally, you'd predict the switchin, Charm it, and CM in their face, though that's a bit prediction-dependent and very gimmicky.

I can't say anything about that, because I don't know what the stats are derived from. All of its moves and ribbons and such are legal, as far as I can tell (but the Transporter would've caught any illegal moves or EVs anyway, so meh).

There is never any guarantee that the Pokemon you get in a trade will be legitimate, ever. However, you can determine whether or not a Pokemon is legal, which this one appears to be from the (limited) information you gave. Whether or not you want to use it is up to you.
