No, unless they are also eggmoves.

Thanks a lot for all the calcs :) I really owe you
All of this because of the BS reduction this gen, I suppose ? :(
I'll run the last repartition, I think. A last question, if it's not too much to ask : are there any battlers which invest some EV in SpD? (or, what is the most bulky specially defensive aegi effectively played?)
Right.
So I would have no way to breed a Mawile with Stealth Rock + Fire Fang in 6th Gen. Is that correct?
You can get Fire Fang, since it's an egg move. You cannot get Stealth Rock in any way whatsoever except by transferring a Mawile from B2W2 that has been tutored the move and using that.
Is it confirmed though? Pokebank is yet to be released, so nobody knows for sure unless it's been officially stated before..
Question: how do I get HP Ice on Jolteon?
Someone said: 31 IVs in HP, SpAtk, SpDef, and Speed and 30 IVs in Atk and Def.
I know the Pokemon Potential Checker guy in Kiloude City tells you which IVs are perfect and which IVs, if any, are 0.
But how do I go about breeding an IV at 30 and not 31?? And how do I know when it is a 30?

Currently unobtainable as far as we know (though it's possible that there's an ingame event unlocked by the presence of the Lati@s twins).
Quite possibly to be rebanned, of course, once it IS obtainable.
PokeBank OU just allows Pokemon unobtainable in XY, or movesets unobtainable in XY, to be used. The Pokebank is confirmed to strip items, so items unobtainable in XY are still unusable until released.
No but those moves are still available on other Pokemon.
Breeding a, for instance, Fire Punch Medicham with a Charizard won't cause a Fire Punch Charmander.
And following on that, Charizard wouldn't pass down Heat Wave to Charmander either.
This has been bothering me for a while... Why is it that, on the analyses for Latias (not exclusive to gen VI, mostly regarding gen V, but it's still relevant here), why is Roost alway mentioned, and Recover never mentioned at all? Since Latias isn't Flying type, Roost and Recover should function identically on her, correct? Is there something that I'm missing here, or is Roost just given preference in this case for no real reason?
Roost is a lot more common on popular defensive mons so it getting mentioned over Recover is a matter of habit. Since Latias isn't a Flying type, they're functionally exactly the same.
I figured that was the case, thanks for confirming.
Not been announced. Presumably they're not tiering until after Pokebank releases and the initial fallout from that completes. There's a lot of things that will change drastically (for example, while Talonflame will probably still see use, it's probably going to plummet once Heatran and the ravening horde of Move Tutored Stealth Rockers comes out to play).
Not being privy to any plans, and bearing in mind that there's every chance that I missed an announcement to that effect, but I wouldn't personally expect tiering to start happening until January or February.
It doesn't matter mostly, but there are some people who might think Levitate is cancelled by Roost and try to Earthquake on a predicted Roost - it's very, very, VERY situational but hey, it could work. xD
Can someone explain air baloon on Rotom fan? Random Wifi battle guy had it and I was confused since flying is an instant resistance to ground. Or is it?
I was wondering 2 things about the new MEvo PKMNs. The first, is if Manetric-Mega is viable or not. Well, I mean if it's actually a good top OU threat in the current metagame or not. I've used it and it's working really well, but I want to know if it's actually a good PKM and is like an "A" threat in OU. I know it's viable, so don't say that.
Next, I have been using Ampharos-Mega as well. Answer the same question as details like the above one, like if it's actually a top OU threat.
I appreciate it. thanks

Awkward Double Post
Flying-type means your immune to Ground-type. Levitate ability means immunity to ground. Rotom-Fan has both of these traits. And Levitate is useless on it, since it's already Flying-type. Some people run Balloon as a joke saying Rotom-F has a triple immunity to Ground-type to gets the lol's.
MAmpharos I can't comment on, but I can say that MManectric is not a huge threat. Between it's lacking power due to it's inability to hold an item, it's lacking movepool, and it's reliance on moves that force you out (Overheat, Volt Switch), MManectric is not about to take OU by storm any time soon. However, he forms a very effective VoltTurn combo with Landorus-T, who also has Intimidate, which can force out physical attackers until the cows come home.
