Hubble used, among others, the 100-inch Hooker telescope at Mount Wilson, which could have easily resolved Pluto. The Yerkes observatory managed to (unknowingly) photograph Pluto with only a 40-inch scope, which has about six times less light-gathering ability.

How did scientists get evidence about Pluto?

The bigger the telescope, the deeper it can see into space. The first telescopes could not see all of the planets, but as the technology (and interest to fund it) grew, telescope size increased, and we were able to see deeper and deeper into space. All the objects that orbit the Sun lie roughly in the same plane. Satellites that are sent out to transmit data back to Earth will often visit many of the planets, since the satellite itself is set on a trajectory parallel to said plane. Satellites offered us additional information about Pluto--and will continue to explore even further--but the "evidence" of Pluto was seen through a telescope.
