If you're going to use a meowstic like that, I'd suggest using light screen/reflect/trick/thunder wave with a choice scarf equipped. Trick the scarf, then use thunder wave to cripple the possible switch, allowing you to possibly get off both screens without any problems. HP and defense investment would probably be preferred, as literally everyone uses some dark/bug move (knock off and u turn).

Can someone help with my mighty Shroomish im raising in emerald?
Keep in mind this is only for in game playthrough of emerald version, on my android phone.

Im trying to train him in speed and attack and hp mostly to take hits to give off a spore effect
Shroomish@Miracle Seed(for leech seed?)
Ability Spore Effect
Nature; Jolly
Leech Seed
Stun Spore
Headbutt
Swagger

So I need a Pokemon with Fly. My current team is Rotom-Ice, Mega Absol, Greninja, Giratina, and Nidoking. Would Skarmory or Noivern be a better choice based off of that?

The fact that you're asking about a Gen 3 game in a thread specifically about Gen 6 may have to do with why no one is rating your move set.

"You don't need another fire weakness" (would be all of 2 pokemon), but then recommend a pokemon that has x4 weakness to Ice, while he has Nidoking and Giratina both of which are x2 weak to Ice (Making it 3 pokemon weak to ice).
Anyways, illogical statement aside, go with Noivern indeed, I think it can give you more bang for it's use. Granted, Fly is a physical move, while Noivern is a SpA pokemon, but yeah.
@NidokingJ: What devondashla said, you're asking for advice on a Gen III game on a Gen VI forum... things change Gen to Gen... TMs, moves they can learn, etc.

I'm mostly just curious if my EV's are all right, and what move should fill the last slot. I was thinking Swords Dance, but IDK. I'm also not too sure about Earthquake, but I feel like it covers most if not all of Zard's most common weaknesses. Also, please do not suggest egg moves unless absolutely necessary to the set, thanks.

Ma! There's a weird 'nuki in the yahd!
Personally, I'd replace Cross Poison with U-Turn. It works beautifully with Choice items, and would allow you to swap Crobat out for a pokemon that'd resist something the opponent is likely to use. Cross Poison will be stronger due to STAB, but won't give you any additional coverage versus Steel Wing, which you could use for Ice or Rock types. On the other hand, with U-Turn you could do as I mentioned above and just swap out from anything that would use a move you're weak to, so if coverage isn't your foremost concern, you could go ahead with it. Bite or Pursuit can be options as well, covering you against Psychics and being able to hit Steel types that would resist all your other moves, but that'd be your least powerful attack, and you'd more than likely hit a Steel type just as hard with a resisted Brave Bird as with a normal-strength Bite, so it's probably not worth it.

So I've been soft resetting for a moltres on my Y version. I SR zapdos with 5 IVs in my X version already which is nice so I want to get all 3 with 5IVs
SO, the first one I encountered was Modest with 29/31/31/24/31/31. The second one i got was modest with 9/30/30/31/31/31. Now I just SR a naive ( synchronize didn't work ) 31/27/31/31/28/31! In any other gen this would have been amazing. I still have it live on my file, I haven't saved it or reset yet. should i keep it? would you keep it? I had a bit of a drought with good IVs since the first 2 SRs. Keep going? or take what i got?

The EV's you suggested are good, but greatly depend on what you want your charizard to do.
Max speed/attack charizard is good, but most of the time bulky zard (EVs: 252 Speed/136 HP/120 Atk) is recommended.
If you wish to keep your current EV spread, EQ is recommended as well as dragon dance, as sword dance won't fix charizard's mediocre base 100 speed.
However, if you decide to go for bulky DD zard, i would recommend using roost over EQ, though it leaves you checked by heatran and Azumarril. is this set, dragon dance is recommended as well.

I wanted an offensive/bulky/stall-y Dusknoir, so it has 31 iv's in HP, ATT, and Sp. Def. and it's nature goes accordingly. I am having trouble with what item to give and how to spread the ev's. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Replace Autotomize with Sacred Sword and you'll be golden. It breaks through special walls and threatens things like Tyranitar and Bisharp. Besides, Quiet nature decreasing speed makes it silly to go with Auto for boosting speed.
