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?

Major rewrite from the first revision, but I've calculated it all manually:
Pokemon Emerald National Pokedex Total: 212/386
Without trades, access to event-exclusive items and Pokemon, Mystery Gift, or an E-reader (Pokemon functionality of which is Japanese-cart exclusive), the best you can do is 212 Pokemon.
If you're willing to perform duplicate item glitches - you can bump this up to 213 by duplicating the Moon Stone - but I wouldn't count this as 'legitimately obtained'
Notable Obtainable Pokemon
- One of Latios and Latias are obtainable - (one will be roaming and one will be on Southern Island). After the Elite 4 a news broadcast will report on a Roaming Pokemon. Speak to your mother - the answer you give to her will determine which is available - 'Blue' for Latios, 'Red' for Latias.
- Both Groudon and Kyogre are obtainable after the Elite Four - a researcher in the Weather Institute will talk about severe weather happening on a particular Route. If it's Harsh Sunlight, look for a newly formed cave. If it's torrential rain, look for a newly formed trench of water that you can Dive into.
- Sudowoodo is 'hiding' in the Battle Frontier. Just like Gen 2, use the Watering Pail on the 'tree' to start the encounter.
- The fossil that disappears from Mirage tower when you take the other one is also available post-Elite Four in the 'Desert Underpass'
- Meowth is a Trade NPC exclusive Pokemon - trade for Skitty at the Battle Frontier
- Beldum is left for the player in Steven's house in Mossdeep City.
- Wynaut hatches from the Egg given to you by the Old Lady in Lavaridge Town
- Feebas evolves into Milotic via Level up with high Beauty (in most later games Milotic is only obtainable via trade).
Pokemon locked by Trade
- The 7 Ruby/Sapphire exclusive Pokemon are: Surskit, Masquerain, Meditite, Medicham, Roselia, Zangoose and Lunatone
- The following Pokemon have prior evolutions available but require a trade to evolve into themselves: Alakazam, Golem, Machamp, Politoed, Kingdra, Huntail, Gorebyss
- Without trading, you'll be unable to complete the Regional Pokedex, and therefore will be unable to get a Generation 2 starter (Chikorita, Totodile, Cyndaquil) from Professor Elm.
- There is only one Moon Stone to find on the map, and no wild Pokemon that hold them, so you have to choose between evolving Skitty into Delcatty, or Jigglypuff into Wigglytuff
Pokemon locked by Event:
- Jirachi, Celebi, Mew, Deoxys, Lugia and Ho-oh are 'technically' obtainable in-game, but you need event-exclusive items to get to them.
- The other Latios / Latias that isn't roaming will be on Southern Island, you'll need the Eon Ticket - which is only obtainable using an E-reader with the physical 'Eon Ticket' card, or mixing records with another trainer that has done so.
- Surskit and Masquerain CAN be found in Emerald via Outbreaks (Swarms)... but only after 'Record Mixing' with a Ruby or Sapphire game.

Data Notes:
- For Pokemon where a choice must be made (Starter Pokemon, Lati@s, only the first Pokemon and its evolutions are listed as 'Yes', so that the totals only count once.
- Not all methods of obtaining a Pokemon are listed, only the most common ones.
I'm not quite sure I understand the scenario. But if you have rock smash you should be able to go through the cave where you first found Briney now.
Edit: I'm pretty sure you need to have rock smash in the first place to get to meteor falls and back to Rustboro city, so this should be the solution. If you need help finding the cave I'm talking about, let me know.
Best Answer
According to Bulbapedia:
In Generation III, Breloom can learn Mach Punch only by leveling up (at lvl. 23), so if you want to learn both Mach Punch and Spore, you must put Everstone on Shroomish and level him up to lvl. 54, learning Giga Drain at level 45, then you should let him evolve to Breloom and teach him Mach Punch through the Move Reminder.
