Sorry, the only way to get those moves is with the Dark Pulse TM and using the move tutor to get Earth Power onto Garchomp.

You can battle over Wi-Fi, but it is not recommended you go to tournaments. I went to the VCG 2010 and a college kid got arrested for pirating his Soulsilver.
@PokemonLover86
Battling against others outside of the main game, like over Wi-Fi or at tournaments.

With a bulky Dragonite you won't be using priority. Use something like:
Dragonite @ Leftovers
Multi Scale
252 HP / 40 Def / 216 SpD
Adamant
Dragon Tail
Roost
Fire Punch (FB is better with neutral nature but you wanted all physical)
Haze

Why does everyone run Urgamoth?
Is it solely because of Butterfly dance?
With all the boosts that GF gave phazing this gen, I thought I wouldn't see it at all, considering it takes a painful 50% from SR, and most teams run Sandstorm.
One Roar, Whirlwind, or worse, Dragon Tail, and it's screwed.

Well, BananaCorn, Stealth Rock honestly isn't that big as it was in Generation Four. Powerful Rapid Spinners like Excadrill and Starmie and the loss of Rotom-A make it hard to keep SR up. Volcarona has Quiver Dance, solid stats on the special side, and a typing that gives it resistance to common priority moves (Bullet Punch, Mach Punch and Vacuum Wave) which help it not be revenge killed that easy.
Honestly, if the team Volcarona is on can't handle SR, it's best not to use it. Overall it's a good Pokemon if you can handle SR and you look past the 4x Rock weakness.

Here's a question that has plagued me for quite a while: what happens to tornadus when it holds iron ball or gets hit by gravity, does it become normal? Does its type become ??? With no weaknesses? Please answer me.

Hey guys. I've been really out of 5th Gen. I just don't like it as much as I did 4th Gen. But, competitive battling was one of the funnest hobbies I ever had. So, my question is, what's a good way to get introduced to the 5th Gen metagame? I read lots of articles when I started to get into 4th Gen, but unfortunately I haven't found many articles like that, being that 5th Gen is so new. Thanks in advance, and I hope to getgood ok at competitive battling again.

Basically, what the means is that you retain all weaknesses associated with the Flying type as well as resistances. Electric and Ice attacks are super effective, and Bug/Grass/Fighting attacks are not very effective. Ground attacks DO hit it though. It's kind of like Bull's Eye on a Ghost type Pokemon, Dark and Ghost are super effective, and Normal and Fighting are not immune.

Hello. I have decided to get into competitive battling now that I have Wi-Fi. I most likley won't be in any tournaments, mostly WiFi, but I need help putting together a team. Please note that I am VERY new to competitive battling, and don't know much about things like movesets, banned pokes, proper training, breeding, ect. I am thinking about using Sawk, or whaever it evolves into for a wifi team, so please give me some info?

RE: The Competitive Battling Questions Thread
Sawk evolves into Sawsbuck. Which is a rare Grass/Normal type.
Given a respectable attack and speed and the ability Chlorophyll that should work nicely in a Sun team. Given access to Swords Dance & Agility it has a lot of potential. Also, Horn Leech as an attack does lot of damage as well as draining half of the damage. Retaliate is also a very nice move which has STAB to Sawsbuck. However, I don't this in many of it's sets, it has the room for Retaliate. I normally run Swords Dance / Horn Leech / Jump Kick and Wild Charge.

RE: The Competitive Battling Questions Thread
Sawk is OK with a Choice Scarf set.
Sawk @ Choice Scarf
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant
-Close Combat
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake
-Payback
This is pretty much the only thing you can do with Sawk, but I saw a cool Counter Reversal set on Smogon, which could work after you have eliminated priority on the other team.
