Winner of Scavenger Hunt: GoodMorningEspeon
Second place: no-one
Third place: no-one
Consolation prize to: no-one
Solution: fleurdyleurse, timbuktu, weebluefroglemizuhime

Questions...
1) The avatar of this inactive member of Smogon's GP (Grammar and Prose) team depicts the same character as that of one of the two most recent Smogon members to recieve a Ladybug for their contributions of GP checking.
2) [A1: [[#1: This Smogon user is known for using GIFs of Etika, a YouTuber, as his avatars.][#2: #1 jokingly stated that Mexicans say this after they get a critical hit.][#3: the first four letters of #2]] + [military organization in Doctor Who]] [A2: This Smogon user's first name on Pokemon Showdown! was A1]
3) Smogon Psyports! all answers are Smogon users: [Small or little + A strong man][Smogon Staff member + A tier leader's favourite animal][Term of Endearment + Synonym for the name of a Psychic-type legendary Pokemon + Letter + Letter][English Title + A wild and chaotic place + Pronoun + A Month]

Explanations...
2) aim is known for using Etika avatars. In this Twitter post, aim states that Mexicans say "jajaja xD" when they get a crit. "jaja" is the string formed by the first four letters of "jajaja xD." The military organization in Doctor Who is UNIT. Jajaunit was Timbuktu's first name.

3) The bracketed sections' answers: [Wee + Bull] [Bloo + Frog] [Aww + Gull* + M + E] [Ms. (sounds like mizz) + Zoo + He + May]. Those sounds become the users: Weebl + Blue Frog + Oglemi + Mizuhime.

Hunt by Weebl. Congratulations to GoodMorningEspeon for finishing the hunt 8 seconds before the 1 hour cut-off!

Second place: kevinrocks
Third place: No one
Consolation prize to: No one
Solution: luxray, x v zA, tranquill

[NO BLITZ]

Questions:
1. Which Pokemon has the highest BST that is a prime number?,
2. What type is the move TM55?
3. This Pokemon's habitat is believed to be free from any conflict.

Official Hunt by ILRB

Q2 Explanation: TM55 is a glitch move in Generation I as shown on http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_glitch_moves#TM55, and is of the glitch type x v ZA. TM55 refers to neither Brine nor Scald, because TM55 contains Brine or Scald, not the moves themselves.

Winner of Scavenger Hunt: trashiemore
Second place: Chauque
Third place: HeracrossTheGreek
Consolation prize to: no-one
Solution: tcr, 243, banette

Questions...
1) Which Smogon user (whose former name was three letters) recently underwent a name change to that of a Pokémon? (give their old username)
2) Take the last letter of the English translation of the word that Wally's French name is likely derived from then find the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order whose English name starts with said letter. This Pokémon's Base Stat Total corresponds with which other Pokémon's National Pokédex number? After finding the aforementioned Pokémon add its BST to its Sinnoh Pokédex number. What number do you end up with?
3) Out of all the Pokémon in the EX Hidden Legends set which have TCG-exclusive moves which Pokémon comes first alphabetically?

Explanations...
2) Wally's French name is "Timmy", which is likely derived from "timide" (which translates to "timid"). The last letter of "timid" is "d", and the first Pokémon in National Dex order starting with that letter is Diglett. Diglett's BST is 265, which is Wurmple's National Dex Number. Wurmple's BST is 195, and its Sinnoh Dex number is 48. Add the two, and you get 243.
 
http://prntscr.com/5ddd1l i will take this down after a bit, but seriously guys (ahem cyllage) my official is CLEARLY on saturday, it wasn't today.
I had not been on Smogon between the time the original post was made, and the time it was edited (and yes, iap did say the hunt was supposed to take place this morning, so don't you throw any stones at me)

Winner of Scavenger Hunt: Dylas
Second place: AnthonySilverstone
Third place: Manaphy286
Consolation prize to: TheMightyRaven
Solution: ironhead, aterrifyingmonster, baconator

Questions...
1) Body Part + Acquire + Body Part [Answer is a move]
2) This was the answer to the second question of the first official Scavengers hunt that only had one winner
3) This item on the Wendy’s menu cannot be used as a Pokemon’s nickname in XY or ORAS

Explanations...
1) Eye + Earn + Head
2) This was a Snaquaza official on May 6th 2014 that only one person finished (Wan the Avatar). The second question was “What is Kyurem called in Unova Rumours?”
3) The phrase “con” is disallowed in a nickname for a Pokemon, meaning that the name cannot be used (Try it for yourself in XY or ORAS, it really doesn’t work)

Please do not say even wrong answers in the main chat during an official as it could prompt other users in the right direction

Questions...
1) What was Smogon user Lemonade.'s former name?

3. X-Act is a former Smogon Administrator. The famous cutting tool is the X-Acto knife.

Manaphy286 finished 48 minutes in. 58 minutes in, I gave a hint that was a huge giveaway, shortly after which the remaining 4 spots were filled. Sorry for that, guys. Grats on your first official win, Mana!

I'm also reserving a hunt for Friday at 2:00 AM GMT +0, or Thursday at 9 PM EST.

Winner of Scavenger Hunt: ashiemore
Second place: Wan the Avatar
Third place: no-one
Consolation prize to: no-one
Solution: sigilyph, sacredash, solrock

(no blitz)

Questions...
1) This pokémon is in losedude's default Smogon avatar.
2) (pun q - answer is an item) This item is the reason characters in the anime don't age.
3) (pun q - answer is a pokémon) This pokémon is so important that the world revolves around it.

Explanations...

3) Solrock's design was based on the Sun which the world (Earth) revolves (orbits) around.
