Say, is there a good way to increase the chances of finding Reset Bags in the Super Training screen? Or an alternate way of cleaning Evs?

Well you can use the "EV Berries" (Pomeg(HP), Kelpsy(Atk), Qualot(Def), Hondew(SpA), Grepa(SpD) & Tamato(Spe)) each of them lowers EVs of a stat by 10. They can be useful if you have to reset EVs of a stat becuz you made the wrong Pokemon faint. As per Reset Bags, I havent played XY yet to confirm.
I believe it's random. Altho I was able to get more bags from pokemon that are well rested from my party, I can't confirm if this is true tho.
Anyone know if there is a way to grow berries faster in XY? Like a way to trick the clock on the 3DS into believing that some time has passed. Maybe a hidden O-power that no one has discovered yet or some type of berry combination for the compost machine. Ugh, the creation of mulch was not one of the things I expected to be at the very least interactive, and it's incredibly time consuming if you're filling the whole field. I'll take my Growth Mulch at 200 Pokedollars a bag like in DPP thank you very much.
The best way I have found is to simply stay on the ST screen and whenever you're not doing anything else tap the bag so the Pokemon attacks it. I usually get a fair few different bags from that relatively quickly, reset bags probably 1 or 2 every 5 minutes of tapping.
Probably not. The Game knows if you screw with the clock and it'll make things take longer to happen because it will purposely stop all time jumps until at least another 24 hours has passed. It also screws up the daily TMs from people/Other daily events.
Yeah i wanna know where do i go to have someone to exchange codes with to find out my safari type, i would use that proper exchange system thing but they require you to know how your 3 pokes so...

You would be best off PMing members of this site.
You could try this thread: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/friend-safari-irc-channel-and-spreadsheet.3489905/ however it is old and the data may not be accurate. The "need" for friend Safari's has sort of died down now, and it is becoming ever more difficult to add people and get new zones. Your best bet is likely asking in #Smogonwifi or checking in the http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/simple-questions-requests-mark-38-minor-pokemon-trades-item-requests-etc-go-here-no-hacking.3505194/ and asking if people want to add you for their friend safaris.
I'm planning to use Chesnaught for Singles in the Battle Maison. Anyone have any good sets for him? I checked out the Battle Maison thread and it seems like it's just discussions about currently existing professional sets and record setting win streaks. I feel like everyone would say "replace him with Venusaur/Breloom" depending on whether I choose his defensive or offensive set. Also tried a stallish Leech Seed set with other non offensive and Grass moves. Got completely walled by Sap Sipper Pokémon like Bouffalant; switching out to Volcarona and Greninja didn't help out either as Head Charge would decimate them both. Not looking for something overly amazing, just something that can pass at least 40 wins assuming I don't get haxed.
Also, any good partners I can place with him? Thought about Heatran and Gyrados(maybe Mega?). It might be a while before I can even get my hands on Heatran anyway so I might need some alternatives.

To be fair, Breloom/Venu outclass Chesty in their particular roles, so you're better off doing a bulky attacker set. Get the best of the two ya know? Plus Spikey Shield messes with the AI so you can use that to scout for sets (Like I do with King's Shield)
As for partners, you'd possibly want something with Flash Fire. Now normally I'd say Heatran, but this isn't Showdown. So I'm gonna recommend Houndoom (You could always use MHound and have a Sun set. But that's just me.)
And maybe keep LO Greninja around, he can be handy for cleaning up and getting rid of dangerous threats like the aforementioned Boufflaunt. All in all, I think that'd work out for you pretty well.
(Or just use Mega Kahn. OP as fuck. Just partner her with Aegislash and whatever else and you'll have a good run right there)
Mega Mom is definitely OP; her, along with Aegislash, WP Dragonite, Greninja, and non-cover legendaries are pretty much the obvious choices for tackling the Maison head on. Got a decent win streak using some of them, now I wish that BP could be used to purchase other things like version exclusive Mega Stones. Where art thou Houndoomite? Using a sun set with Houndoom would mean that I can easily lure in Fire attacks with Chesnaught and keep swapping with Houndoom as necessary. If I follow a Fire/Water/Grass core, Greninja might have its water moves nerfed a bit due to sunlight, but meh, I can always use coverage. "ICE BEAM!!!" said every Water type ever. As for Chesnaught, Synthesis would be a good move on him if I could create free turns. If only they gave this guy Drain Punch/Horn Leech. Crossing my fingers for it to be available as a TM or by Tutors in ORAS. Maybe I'll replace Greninja with a Water that can deal a bit of damage and support with status? Milotic for that bulk and Scald burn chance. Alomomola for the same thing, but with slightly more frailty and Wish. Maybe Lanturn for Heal Bell, Thunder Wave, and Flying resist (Just got to thinking, Trick Room Team with Ion Deluge/Volt Absorb Lanturn. No, let's save those shenanigans for another time). Thanks for the input.
Asking was worth a shot, could've sworn I set the clock to 11:59 at night to get some more Juice at Lumiose. I was probably dreaming about it.

I started playing Gold (GBC) and the goddamn question of what to do with Cut and Rock Smash comes up again. I'm one of those who don't like HM slaves so I'm trying to figure out a decent way to fit them onto a team without being useless. I was thinking: Cut on Ursaring and Rock Smash on Heracross so they get STAB and might be able to do some damage. This would give Heracross a moveset of something like: Endure, Reversal, Rock Smash, Megahorn; which isn't ideal but it's the best I could come up with.
Anybody found a way to make Cut and Rock Smash not completely useless filler? They annoy me so much!

Sorry to say, but besides Surf (And Waterfall/Fly/Strengh to an extent) all HMs are bad. Of course you knew that already XD
But in X/Y, you not even NEED any HMs besides Surf. The other HMs are optional mostly. So you won't really need a HM slave or use otherwise useless moves. That's all I can recommend besides what you suggested (STAB HMs is a good idea, I like it! I just had Fly Golurk XD)
I thought the increases of encountering a Pokemon with its HA increases if your friend is online? Is that not true?
I think it's true. But what do I know, I'm the guy who asked if there's a secret shiny hunting way in the Friend Safari XD
As far as I am aware, you only need your friend to be online AND have defeated the E4/Champion to access the third slot. It doesn't impact the chance of encountering HA.
Within friend safari, I find most of the pokemon I encounter have their HA the first or second time I encounter them. ALthough rather than taking chance, I took one of my greninja to the move re-learner and taught it role play, you can also use a pokemon with trace and something with false swipe so it will always be an easy catch. That doesn't quite answer your question but at least saves either waiting for a person to be online (if it does have any effect, which I believe it doesn't) and having to catch something to work out it's ability.
I'm thinking of using char y and mega doom together in the maison multis. Any suggestions for the backups? Rock slide is obviously a huge issue... maybe breloom?
You can't use 2 mega evolutions per team.
Breloom would be good, as well as Scizor, which can deal with Archeops and Aerodactyl better
In multis you can, as each user gets access to one mega each. So if you're duel wielding DS's this is entirely possible
Breloom is a good idea in theory, but is kinda frail. I'd say yeah on Breloom if only because you can take care of other Fire types with Hound/Char
However, I would reccomend Garchomp as well, being able to kill Water types (Besides Ice Beam, but again, you have Sun so it shouldnt be a problem) and being all around useful. I hope this helps!
Edit: Ninja'd. TO THE EXTREME
What? Sun doesn't weaken ice type attacks if that's what you were implying, just water moves...
bananarchy if you post in the Maison Thread there are many users who can help you build a team. I think the biggest threat outside rock types is opposing fire types because your leads are pretty useless against them (char only has ancient power and houndoom has to rely on dark stab) and they get powered up by the sun that you may have already set up so will be able to really hurt you on the switch if you don't have a fire resist. I agree with Hclegend that chomp could be a good team mate (resists rock and fire) but will have trouble with water types if you weren't able to solar beam them with your leads
of course i wasn't implying that! I meant Water types with Ice moves! And Sun takes care of them because Solarbeam.... I wasn't clear enough XD
