To add:

The reason you can use those attacks on your first turn legally is because you are using a card effect to evolve a Pokemon, instead of evolving through the normal means; card effect evolution is always permitted regardless of the turn. Rare Candy is also an example of evolving via an effect, though its power has been restricted as of late.

(Broken Time-Space is technically NOT a card effect which evolves a Pokemon; it merely removes the 1-turn downtime required to evolve a Pokemon normally.)
