Which Starter from Kanto can learn Gen IV/V exclusive moves?
Only Charizard with Defog?
I ask because I don't know which starter I should choose from Professor Oak. (HGSS)

Bolded the ones that aren't entirely useless.
Sorry for the double post but what Tutor moves/TM moves should I stick onto my Careful Mew from Emerald?
1. Night Shade vs. Seismic Toss, which is preferable (if any)
2. Fake Out useful at all?
3. Hypnosis?
4. Counter?
5. Any benefit to Softboiled over Roost?

I'd say toss, your boosted stat isn't 31.
For personal use, the 2 Sp. Def points make almost no difference. Against the Specially Defensive set, Mega Charizard-Y's Fire Blast has the exact same range of damage. For trade value, it might turn some people off, but it's still a really nice Jirachi.
Uhh FYI, you can't tutor it Night Shade, Hypnosis and Fake Out on Emerald...
Pokemon XD has a move tutor just for Mew.
But you can on XD (which I have irl)?
Yes, but only on XD, and the tutoring process is more complex than just giving it those 3 moves (If you want to know further details about it, ask Thomaz).
The Questionnaire? I'm aware.

It's Seed Flare time.
1. Seismic Toss
2. I would put it on there anyway
3. No
4. Could be
5. There is a reason people prefer Softboiled over Roost and I have actually asked this before in this thread, but I can't remember the answer.
Actually a pretty obscure reason. There is no Pokemon that can learn Imprison and Softboiled, but there are Pokemon that learn Roost and Imprison. 99.99% of battles they will be the same thing.
Also what is the reasoning behind Seismic Toss over Night Shade?
I tossed a 31/31/31/31/29/31 Calm Jirachi :l the 29 SpD bugged me so much and max attack that I cried and tossed it.
well, the 29 didn't bug me as much as the nature, but i ended up keeping it anyway :P
i've been pretty strict about speed and HP (i tossed a 31/31/31/x/30/29 with some physical nature, and i did get a 29/30/28/31/31/31 Impish one that i tossed that i likely would have kept if it were jolly / adamant or modest / timid)
but overall, i didn't see 2 points of SPDef making a huge difference, just that for a specially-defensive Jirachi, you likely want Bold and Calm Mind or something. i also have another Jirachi to reset and probably have every usable nature Jirachi already anyway lol. i don't know if i'll even get back into trading, but we'll see
anyway, thanks all for the responses! i kept it in the end ^_^
