What a good tanker pokemon in both defenses? To help cover a team?
Depends on your team. Dusknoir and Cresselia are usually good choices.
Does the synchronize ability's second effect let you get the same natures on pokemon you talk to or receive, for example drifloon or cranidos? Or does it only work for pokemon you encounter in the wild?
20%, I believe.
I'm pretty sure it'll work on Drifloon since it's the same as Azelf and co. but I'm not sure on fossils.
It will keep it while its in the box. You can say the PokeRus is "frozen" while in the box. The little face means it can never get it again and pass it, but it will keeps its effects (x2 EV gain) if I'm not mistaken.
I'm having some trouble with the EVs for my Draggy. Mainly, I'm not sure what I should be trying to outspeed or if i should put any EVs in defenses. The 224EVs in Hp give him 94hp subs. Any suggestions?

Your Dragonite has great IVs and nature for a dragon dancer. The subpuncher is outdated, and it's only purpose for subpunch is to catch special walls on the switch. So dragon pulse and thunderbolt/flamethrower is a better combination. If you want a physical movest, use the dragon dancer or slap on a choice band and go with fireblast/fire punch and Waterfall/Earthquake over the subpunch. You can also replace Dragon Claw with Outrage for sheer power. You could leave Focus Punch on there if you can predict Skarmory switches (or when he's about to roost)
1) odd-numbered Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, even-numbered Defense and either:
- even\even HP\Attack
- even\odd HP\Attack
- odd\even HP\Attack
OR
odd\odd\odd\odd\odd\even HP\Attack\Defense\SpAttk\SpDef\Speed
2) No
3) 150 is max. Don't know the rest offhand.
1. transfer from GBA games through Pal Park.
2. Non-GTS Wi-fi or Local trade.

Is using Arcanine's Flash fire a really bad idea?
I *think* FRLGRSE is the only way. teach it from the Move Tutor. I don't know if any pokemon learns Seismic Toss and and breed with Blissey.
