Would there be any reason to use a +SpDef Uxie (Calm/Careful/Sassy)?

(I have almost all the +Def Uxies I could possibly want.)
 
If you have six pokemon with pickup ability on your team, will they stack so you'll recieve an item almost every fight? Is this a good moveset for a pickup slave Ambipom: Return, Shadow Claw, Thief, U Turn? Is there anything cool I should add?

Yes they stack, but the moveset doesn't matter as long as you can kill a level 2 bidoof.
 
If i kill a golduck, which gives 2 SpA Attack EVs, while holding a macho brace and being infected with pokerus, will i get 8 EVs from killing the golduck?
 
yeah, you'll get 8 evs with a macho brace, 12 with a Power Lens

I keep him on my team all the time, so I don't want him to be a total waste of space, was wondering if I missed any cool utility spells.

Could someone explain what a 'core' of a team is and how many Pokemon make it up? Thanks :D

It can be anywhere from 2-4 pokemon. Basically, a well constructed team consists of a lead, core and final sweeper. The core should take advantage of the momentum the lead gets, ig you want a defensive core they should be able to wall and stally together until you setup, and in an offensive core they should wear down the enemy until a final sweep.
 
Using the spread listed should work. 5 defense points shouldn't matter too much. If you're really paranoid about the speed, delegate 20 EVs from defense and put them into speed to make up for the shortfall.
 
Sooo, this'll work competitively on Wi-fi?
evs:152 HP / 60 Def / 220 SpA / 76 Spe
@Life Orb
Hydro Pump
Ice Beam
Hidden Power Electric
Recover

Rather than the standard?
evs: 152 HP / 80 Def / 220 SpA / 56 Spe
 
156 HP/56 Def/220 Sp.Atk/76 Speed is perfect because it gets my Milotic
the magic 369 HP, a solid 203 defense, and a crushing 320 Sp.atk, along with decent 212 speed... Are the defense evs negligible?
 
New question... I already know what's inside my eggs because I hatch and then reset... I really don't like having to wait to beat the whole story mode to ev train my pokemon in Platinum, so I trade my eggs over, then hatch them... Now all my pokemon were visibly traded as eggs and hatched with good ivs...

Does that seem sketchy at all? Like nobody's going to think any less of them, right?
 
Nope, there's nothing wrong with that. The only difference is that the Pokémon will have 'Link Trade' rather than 'Day-Care Couple' as their 'Egg obtained' location.
