I'd fix this myself, but I have no idea how. :c

Same thing with Mega Gardevoir.

It's because of the ArmSub bones. You'll have to animate those in conjunction with the actual arm bones.

I don't know what you are talking about but this doesn't happen with me at all. Importing the SMD into blender causes all the bones to be disconnected and manual connecting and fixing can be annoying but does work. The DEA however imports fine and doesn't do what your model did in the screenshot. If your imported the SMD just use the DEA instead, the rig is allready done. I actually didn't know the DEA worked like that and had been manually fixing all the SMD bones. Man do I feel stupid.

If you click twice where the axis is shown on my screen shots, you won't select the longer, more obvious RArm bone, but the RForeArm bone.
Try to rotate this and the whole arm freaks out and tries to rotate around the wrong axis.

This is FAR more noticeable when using the model in programs like Poser. (Pardon the image spam)

I see the problem. It is some strange weightings if you ask me. The bone Rhand is barely the hand at all and this causes the effects in your screenshots. This mostly due to rotating it by itself. A quick fix is to turn deforming off for that bone, or not use it and instead use RHandSub which is the bone that is actually weighted to the hand. That should ease some problems. But the main reason this occurs as RTB tried to explain is that these bones will deform like that unless moved in conjunction with the other bones. Meaning you can't just move RHand without it facing the same direction as RForearm. To rotate just the hand move the bone RhandSub. You can see this by configuring IK chains on the arm or just using auto IK, but then you have to make sure RHand is connected to Rforearm. And the ofcoarse the same for the left side but switched

tl;dr
That is how the bones are weighted. As RTB said you have to move every bone in the arm so it doesn't deform like that.

Also, are the any files for battle effects? In particular, I want to use the mega evolution effect model.

Unfortunately battle effects are stored in a different type of file to Pokemon models. Those file structures haven't been decoded by anyone yet. I personally have been trying to figure out the battle animations for Pokemon; which are housed in the .pb files. But even though I can see all the data in front of me I haven't had much success at translating it to animation keyframe data.

Your best bet would be to try and create your own effect. I created a capturing effect a while ago using an advanced shader and mesh deformation; I'm actually starting on my own mega evolution effect based on the mega-absol scene in Diancie and the cocoon of destruction.
