How can I get both Giga Drain and Mach Punch on Breloom?
I really want Breloom to know both Giga Drain and Mach Punch. Does Breloom learn Mach Punch on evolution or on level up only? In other words, do I specifically have to use a TM in order to obtain both on the first run-through or is it possible to use an Everstone to obtain Spore and Giga Drain, then remove the Everstone to evolve him and obtain Mach Punch on the evolution?

@Moondane suggested one method.
A second method is to obtain both a female Shroomish/Breloom and a breeding compatible male that know Giga Drain, such as Roselia or another Shroomish. The Shroomish offspring will know Giga Drain. Then evolve the offspring into Breloom at level 23 to learn Mach Punch (or evolve later and use the Move Reminder). This also works with Spore instead of Giga Drain. This method is longer, but it does mean you can have a Breloom knowing both Spore and Mach Punch at level 50, which can be useful for the Battle Tower and/or Frontier.
A third method is to clone a Pokemon holding TM19 (Giga Drain) on Pokemon Emerald. This means you can teach Breloom Giga Drain with the TM and still have another TM19 afterwards. This is likely the fastest method provided you are using Emerald. This only works for TMable moves, which excludes Spore.

Is Mach Punch good for Breloom?
After a Swords Dance, Mach Punch becomes incredibly powerful, allowing Breloom to KO faster foes such as Raikou, Mega Gyarados, and Mega Aerodactyl.When should I evolve my Breloom?
Breloom has no further evolutions. So once you evolve your Shroomish into a Breloom at Level 23, it cannot evolve any further.Is Leech Seed good for Breloom?
Breloom might seem like an interesting choice for a bulky Grass-type thanks to its unique combination of Spore, Leech Seed, and Poison Heal, and it also packs a notable offensive presence thanks to Focus Punch, which benefits from Breloom's naturally high Attack and Substitute.Pokemon Emerald - Hatching a Shroomish with Giga Drain and Spore
