Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

Same tier as they are now. For example, you can use Mega Glalie in ORAS NU when it comes out.

EVs: 212 HP / 44 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature

Small tournaments are often held in rooms on Pokemon Showdown. If you're looking for larger, long-term tournaments, the Tournaments forum on Smogon has you covered, but you may have to check on the forum several days in a row to catch a tour in its signup phase.
Considering I haven't used Jirachi in a while (since BW2), does it still play the same role as it does then (read: parahax and annoy Lati@s)? What are the traits that separate it and Bronzong from each other?
Rachi has a deeper movepool, less bulk, and more power and speed. Jirachi fits better on more offensive teams, where Bronzing fits on more defensive teams. Jirachi also gets U-Turn and a Scarf for interesting momentum grabbing.
You could run Stealth Rock if you need to fit it somewhere, otherwise Fire Blast works well.
It can do multiple things (offensive EB sets, scarf sets, wistprotect sets, sr sets, subtoxic sets, etc), but yes, it still annoys the hell out of Lati@s and often abuses Iron Head flinches.
It differentiates itself from Bronzong with its access to reliable recovery + much more diversity (it can be offensive, defensive, etc). Bronzong differentiates itself thanks to its Ground immunity, which lets it beat Chomp, Lando, Drill, etc: all things Rachi cannot.
I'm not sure what you mean by "legends rise", but the only way to get legendary Pokemon with a good nature and perfect IVs is through hacking / pokegen or a lot of RNG abuse.
Check out the WiFi forum here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/wi-fi.53/. You'll find information about how to RNG your own legendaries, as well as people with legendaries for trade. Welcome to Smogon!
Sorry about that. Stupid autocorrect.
And is any of that allowed when battling other people in-game? If not, I can live without it, but if so, where would I go to learn more about those?
Thank you, btw
Much appreciated sir! And I've been here for a while, I just don't really post
There aren't many specific restrictions for battling in game, but when you battle someone it is best to clarify with them first if you are using hacked / illegitimate Pokemon. I would check out the wifi subforums suggested above.
Thank you very much :) I've already started checking out the wifi forum
You might want to check out the battle spot forum for battling on cart -- EnGarde does pokemon giveaways over there as well, and I know she has a lando-t
Rycbar I have an adamant landorus-t, and I'll send it to you for competitive use. It's fully trained for playing at level 50, and I'll send it equipped with a choice scarf. This is very important: please make sure you read the rules on the OP (specifically, post a pokemon on GTS before replying to the thread, it makes things move faster) and post on my distribution thread (the link is in my signature). I might not see it if you post asking anywhere else.

To the rest of the community: my distribution's primary focus is to put fully trained flawless pokemon in the hands of competitive players primarily to raise awareness and Smogon's level of skill in battle spot. I'll also send pokemon to people who would like to play OU or other formats on-cartridge. Please note all pokemon are trained for use at level 50, so some might need to have their EV spreads altered, and some might need to be leveled up to 100 for standard OU play. I just ask that you try one of the battle spot formats as well, and see if you like it. The matches tend to be very quick and a lot of fun. Feel free to join in the discussion here (link).

As you are not a badged user, it has to be very compromised (under 100 kB). There are many great GIFs on pages like AvatarDB though, see if you find anything you like there. Then you just save it as a .GIF, and upload to your avatar like a normal picture.
How do OU bans impact other tiers? I've been skimming the potential suspect thread in VR and some people elude to a BP ban impacting lower tiers. Which tiers would it impact, and could it potentially not impact lower tiers if BP (or Evasion, or Swagger, etc.) was banned? For example, say OU banned BP. Could NU or LC still allow it?
What's so great about running Adamant ZardX if it's easily beaten by scarf lando?
I dont know of any calcs off the top of my head, but its just for a boost in power. However, Jolly zard X has gained in popularity for its ability to not be revenge killed by scarf Lando-t.
Adamant gives Char-X 394 Attack, Jolly gives it 359. So after a DD you're looking at 591 with Adamant, compared to 538. The difference may seems small at first, but after add in DD and Tough Claws percentage boosts it adds up quickly. You can carry Landorus-T checks or counters if you run Adamant, they aren't that hard to find/fit.
You could also use a site like this: http://ezgif.com/resize
It's pretty self explanatory, but what it does is take gif's or pictures and resize them to your liking. Basically if you find a gif on its own that would not fit under 100KB, you can resize it.
Are there any notable 2hko's/ohko's that change going from adamant to jolly?
Not really, but you do less to the likes of Heatran, Slowbro, Defensive Landorus-T etc., which can be quite troublesome. It depends on team matchup, really.
