Can Clefable sweep with Moonlight instead of softboiled or does it need that extra PP?
If you are going to go with recovery go for Softboiled or Wish just because of the PP and you never know when weather can have a change in the match therefore making Moonlight recovery weaker.
 
I'm talking about cartridge or else I would run softboiled
Go for Wish then if you want the recovery. Honestly, it depends on the other moves that you are planning on running. If you are going for 3 attacks + recovery and have no access to Softboiled, Moonlight MIGHT be the better option.

I was planing on using the Stored power set. My biggest issue is getting a 5 iv clefable with softboiled which(I believe breeding mechanics ment you could hardly ever get good ivs) which makes it next to impossible.

Well, Unaware Calm Mind Clefable, which is the best set, can't even run Softboiled anyways. Wish and Moonlight are both good options. Wish can only really be run alongside Protect, but it has more PP, while Moonlight only has a measly 8 PP but it has the rather huge advantage of letting you run either Heal Bell or another attacking move (usually Flamethrower) alongside it. It's up to personal preference, but both are good options.

Also Stored Power is really bad on it, just run Calm Mind + Moonblast + either of the options I mentioned above.
 
What are some good defensive options that work well with a Mawile/Dragonite/Greninja core, and why?

Heatran is a good option as it can absorb burns aimed at mawile and it's main weakness can be covered by dragonite. Zapdos could be used for defog support. Zapdos is good because it can deal with bisharp with Heat Wave counters flying spam and complements heatran well defensively as they share no common weaknesses. Then in the last slot all you really need is something to deal with water moves from things like specs Keldeo. Assault Vest Azumarill could work but fears scald otherwise specially defensive roserade completes a FWG defensive core and is quite an underrated mon. Chansey can work too and can give support in case mawile or dragonite get burned.

Cosmic Power (which I assume is the only set that runs Stored Power) is really bad on just about anything that learns it because you can only sweep with it if your opponent doesn't have a phazer, Taunt user, or Unaware user and even then only if you get lucky enough to not get crit. It's not really worth it. Moonblast is more than powerful enough after a few CM boosts, while Stored Power leaves you quite ironically walled by Dark-types.

So it just requires more team support then to run Cosmic power. I see your point tho, and Unaware is a really good ability to have.
 
Is there anything I would miss outstanding with an adamant Mega gyarados after a Dragon dance?
Run adamant, you get a nice power boost and who cares if you don't outrun greninja after a boost...

Edit: So apparently you out-speed greninja after 1 boost. Just run adamant.
 
Beyond 1800 is often good, but the amount of players that use BP or standard teams vs the amount of people that use BP or standard teams basically ends up with even the higher ladder not being very good.

Sorry =/
