So, as some of you may know, I've been neglecting to host an official until I pass iap on the leaderboard. Well, I recently had an epiphany, realizing that 1. It probably won't happen soon, and 2. It was a very immature and juvenile ultimatum to reach.
That being said, I'll be reserving an official at 4:00 AM GMT

inafteredit: So apparently the concept I introduced wasn't as immediately fathomable as I prospected it would be .3.

inafterposthuntedit:
So apparently I dun goofed on Q3, but people still found the answer regardless. I apologize for any troubles

Nevertheless, here are the results.

25/10/14 GMT +0

Winner of Scavenger Hunt: GoodMorningEspeon
Second place: kevinrocks
Third place: Angels2002
Consolation prize to: ILRB, Jessilina
Solution: present, sweetscent, tackle

[NO BLITZ]

Questions:
1. Imagine a theoretical battle between every pokemon. If two or more pokemon have a speed tie; then the order in which they move is therein determined by pokedex order (Lower number = "faster" in this case). For the first turn; every single pokemon uses the first move it learns via level-up (starting move) (If a pokemon starts with more than one move; it uses the first one alphabetically). Assume no pokemon are KO'd. For the second turn; every pokemon uses the same move if it can. What move does Smeargle use on the second turn?
2. The scenario from Q1 still applies. On the first turn; Ditto transforms into the pokemon that attacks right before it. Which move does Ditto use on the second turn?
3. The scenario from Q1 still applies. However; the scenario now takes place in Gen 3. What move does Sudowoodo use on the second turn?

Explanations:
1. Delibird would move right before smeargle. Smeargle would sketch the move Present, and have to use it thereafter.
2. Ditto transforms into the pokemon that attacks immediately before it. The pokemon that attacks before it is Swirlix. The first alphanumerical move it learns is Sweet Scent, so ditto would use it after it transforms.
