Yes. Egg moves are passed from both mother and father now. Get Leech Seed onto a female Ferroseed. Then breed that female with a male with Stealth Rock. The resulting Ferroseed will have Leech Seed and Stealth Rock.

(Just FYI, this move combo is still legal in gen 5 since Stealth Rock is taught by a tutor.)

thanks, also what would you recommend for pokemon to breed with ferroseed? like, easier to obtain,not in other games, learns moves early, has both moves, etc.

No pokemon that can be bred with Ferroseed has both Leech Seed and Stealth Rock as far as I know (which made the move combo illegal until B2/W2 move tutors).

Stealth Rock is easiest from Graveler, which learns it at level 42. So any Graveler caught on Victory Road or Terminus Cave will already have it.
As for Leech Seed, I don't think any wild pokemon are caught already knowing it. Your options are Ivysaur, Breloom, and Cacturne (from Friend Safari Grass, Fighting, and Dark, respectively) and Exeggcute (from Route 12). You need a Heart Scale to relearn Leech Seed (use the Old Rod to fish up Luvdisc in Azure Bay and use Thief to steal Heart Scale).
 
So I'm a lazy person and while I would prefer to have Landourus-I and Deoxys-S for my 3DS team I'd rather use guys who can be or are just as good but easier to find. So far I've come up with Gengar and Garchomp (comparable to both in terms of speed and power of the other two). For reference my other members are DD Mega-Ttar, Banded Azumarill, Sassy Ferrothorn, and Mandibuzz.

What I'd like to know is what I should make Gengar and Garchomp. I'm thinking:

Gengar @ life orb
Timid 252 SpA/ 4 SpD/ 252 Spe
~Shadow Ball
~Focus Blast
~Sludge Wave
~Destiny Bond

Garchomp @ Choice Scraf
Jolly 4 HP/ 252 Att/ 252 Spe
~Outrage
~Earthquake
~Stone Edge
~Dragon Claw

Any suggestions, comments, or constructive criticisms on these members or on the team as a whole would be appreciated. Just make sure that any new pokemons you suggest are easy to obtain please.
Gengar cannot learn Sludge Wave. You need to give it Sludge Bomb instead.
 
Hey guys, I'm currently making a team, and I need a poke for the last slot. I didn't want to make a rmt yet so:
Team:
CharizardX
- Standard DD set, EQ over Thunderpunch
Kyurem-B - Standard Sub Set, Earth Power, Ice Beam, Fusion Bolt
Conkeldor -Standard Assault Vest
Landorus-T - Standard Bulky Pivot
Excadrill - Standard Offenive Air Baloon, Iron Head over SD

I'm currently running choice band azumaril, but I need somthing better,
any suggestions?

It got it as a dream world move, so technically it's legal. But he won't be able to legitimately get it unless he's willing to RNG a Dream World Gastly.

If you can do sludge wave though, do that since at the very least it can actually hit Bulletproof Chesnaught.

Oh, that explains it. I could have sworn it could not learn it by TM.
 
What would be a good Bisharp counter?
It's so hard to stop once it has set up.
And usual revenge killers won't work because of Sucker Punch...

Breloom is pretty nice. Priority Mach Punch is always good and sometimes you can predict a switch and get of a Swords dance.

252 Atk Technician Breloom Mach Punch vs. 32 HP / 0 Def Bisharp: 396-468 (141.9 - 167.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Conkeldurr's a nice check with Mach Punch, Earthquake (physically defensive) Mega Venusaur works, and physically defensive Hippowdon. Mega Gyarados can set-up all over it and then proceed to OHKO with Earthquke, or straight up OHKO with Earthquake iirc.
 
In game, I link traded a Shiny Dialga for a Dark Rai, both in Cherish Balls. (Yes I know that sounds like I ripped myself off, but be patient and keep reading). The reason is that there are GTS offers that will give you a shiny Ho-Oh in exchange for a Dark Rai. It didn't let me trade my Dark Rai through the GTS, ("It's a special pokemon" or whatever) but I got it through a trade. How does this make sense?

It sounds like someone traded you the Darkrai outside of the GTS. If that's true, you can trade event Pokes like Darkrai outside of GTS, but the GTS won't let you trade certain event exclusive Pokemon.
 
What happens if you use defog on a magic bounce pokemon? On showdown, I used defog on an Espeon to try and clear the screens it was setting up, but it only lowered my evasion. Is this working as intended, or should I post in the bug thread?
 
Defog only removes the screens of your opponent, not yours; as such, it was reflected back on you, and would have removed your hypothetical screens if you had them, but not his.

Bulbapedia says it removes screens on both sides. Is it wrong?

bulbapedia said:
Defog now clears away Light Screen, Reflect, Safeguard, Mist, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rock and Sticky Web present on both sides of the field.
