You can inheret ivs from the parent, but no EVs will be passed down to the Riolu
Edit:
Yes they will. You can also use this on low level pokemon to better determine IVs
I just completed raising a Gallade w/ Hypnosis, False Swipe, Mean Look, and Psycho Cut.
It is to be used to help me capture pokemon, both roaming and normal. All I need to do is get him to lv. 100, which is going to be hard.
What should I nickname him? I was thinking "Pro Hunter".

Pro Hunter is good enough and punny.. very punny. Also just use the move re learner and use a offensive set to level it up. Or do the lead + switch out tactic until it's high enough level to defeat most opponents. Or if all else fails use rare candies :P
Whats the best way to get the most out of Substitute? Does the move always round down when taking 25% from your max HP?
well maxing out hp would give you the "biggest" substitute and yes it always rounds down
Substitute has many uses, and there are a lot of viable ways to use it. It depends on the Pokémon that's using it and what they're trying to do. A Pokémon might intend to use it to absorb more than one hit, so they'll want a sub with a lot of HP. Others might intentionally want weak substitutes, such as Pokémon who want to force their HP down to activate pinch berries and abilities like Torrent. Some Pokémon also just use them as an insurance policy to protect them from status ailments or to take a single hit so they have that precious one turn to stat up and sweep.
So there is no one "best" way to use Substitute, just figure out what you need to do and adjust your Pokémon's strategy, movesets, and stats accordingly.

What are you subbing for? Once you know that, then you can figure out how many HP evs you need. For example, if you plan on using SubSalac/SubPetaya, then you'll need to make sure it's HP is divisible by 4. Same goes for Belly Drum/Substitute combos.
If you just want it purely for the defense, though, then just max out HP and defense stats, and make sure it's not divisible by 4, to let you get a fourth sub without dying.
Can anyone give me a link on how to make an ubers rain team?
I started my team after I beat the elite four, I can't think f anything else you need to do.
I'm breeding a new Starmie in Soulsilver. If I give the Everstone to the Staryu will it pass the nature or does it always have to be equipped on the Ditto? My timid Ditto doesn't have perfect speed so I thought I'd breed my 31 sp.Atk Ditto with a timid Stary with 31 speed(I'm good with 2 perfects). But if not, I'll just try something alse.
Also, Staryu's can't breed with each other and the same goes for Ditto's right?(just making sure)
Thanks.

You can find information on HGSS breeding here.
To answer your question, no, it does not always need to be equipped on the Ditto. However, both of the Pokemon must have you as their OT, and there is a 50% chance of passing down the nature of the Pokemon that is holding the Everstone. And no, Staryu/mie can only breed with Ditto, not with other Staryu/mie. If you want the IVs to be passed down, using Power items can help. Consult the thread I linked above for more information.

Forgot to ask my own question. So there's the Enigma Stone event for HGSS that ends tomorrow. Let's say that a friend of mine gets the event. Is the Wonder Card transferable? If so, if I receive the Wonder Card, will I be able to unlock the event?
Totally up to you. Do you plan to do a lot of WiFi uber battles? Do you want it for the achievement? Do you plan to trade it for other Pokemon? Do you have the patience for this sort of thing?
Lmao, I gave up. I got a Hasty nature, useless?
You can kill it and it'll respawn after the E4, but it looks like it's too late.
I didn't save yet but like fatecrasher said, I have no patience to battle it many times and I won't be doing many uber battles.
Nope.
