You can trade a Ledian for an Oshawott in Agate City(the city where Hardy's Gym is located).

I think Jan or Zumi mentioned in a Q&A that we already met the Fairy type Gym Leader, so it's certainly possible that Nancy was(or still is?) the Fairy type Gym Leader. Also, it's implied by Madame X and Crescent that Nancy is not entirely human and possibly a doll, like the maids working for Indriad.

Like Espeon said, Magic Bounce is your best option against Sticky Web. If you don't have an Espeon or Xatu, you can still counter Ribombee with Fake Out. Hit Ribombee with Fake Out(to nullify its Focus Sash) and hit it with a super effective move after that. Bullet Punch is a great option here. It would also be helpful to include a sixth permanent member in your team. I won't spoil anything, but there will be a couple of battles after this part that are very hard to win with only five team members.

You can turn Nuzleaf into a decent mixed attacker with Leaf Blade, Fake Out and Dark Pulse(available from a TM later on in the game). Fake Out is not a very powerful move, but nonetheless extremely handy in some situations.

I think it has something to do with an Alolan legendary Pokémon, possibly Necrozma. Novae states that she and her clan members originate from the Alolan islands. Necrozma is based on a black dwarf and Ultra Necrozma is based on a supernova, both are forms of stars. Also, novae is the plural form of nova, Latin for star.

Regarding Charizard, you could replace Brick Break with Solar Beam, especially if your Charizard has its hidden ability and you plan on using a Sunny Day themed strategy.

You're welcome. :) I used Alolan Marowak before and it is very powerful and useful, even later in the game. Watch out for its low Speed stat though. The Thick Club doubles its Attack stat, so it almost always OHKOs everything. Rock Head is preferred as its ability because of Flare Blitz, but Lightning Rod can be useful against the Electric type gym leader(especially because of his broken signature move he likes to spam). Other useful moves in its movepool are Shadow Bone(STAB) and Stomping Tantrum or Bonemerang/Bone Rush. Stomping Tantrum is accurate and reliable, but the latter two have the added benefit of breaking through Sturdy Pokémon and Substitute users. The TMs for Earthquake and Swords Dance are not available yet, sadly.

Seismitoad is not that bad, but it's also not the best Water type to use. If you plan on keeping him, Swift Swim is definitely the better ability to use, mainly because of Rain Dance being included in its moveset. Dusknoir with the crest as a held item is good. It is more of an offensive Pokémon and the crest boosts its weaker moves(like Technician does). Shadow Sneak and Shadow Punch are boosted, so I would keep those two in its moveset. Other damaging moves that are boosted are Bulldoze and Rock Tomb and both TMs are available in the current version. An Impish nature is suitable because you won't use its Special Attack anyway, but you could also change it into an Adamant nature to further boost the damage output of its moves. Overall, I really like your team and I like the inclusion of popular and less popular Pokémon.

Like chamomomile said, it's obtainable in the Chrisola Hotel casino. You need AP(achievement points) instead of coins or money to buy it though. The best way to farm those APs is by walking a lot, using items, evolving Pokémon, breeding and hatching eggs, and increasing the happiness of your Pokémon.

It's a tricky and time consuming puzzle to complete, but the reward is worth it.
