Second place: Dylas
Third place: iap
Consolation prize to: Chupps, Wan the Avatar
Solution: robobabybuggyberryrobbingswipethesweetsandmakeourowntreatsoctillerybot3, frostheat, 5498

(no blitz)

Questions...
1) What was the name of the machine that Team Rocket used to sabotage the poke puff contest?
2) What two rotom forms (alphabetical) have the same type of super training shot?
3) Suppose you have a meal at Restaurant le Yeah; take the nearest cab to get a Lumiose Galette; then take the nearest cab from there to obtain the hatching power from Mr Bonding. What was your net cost?

q3 explanation: The fact that you can get the hatching power means you have max style. This gives a 10% discount to meals, a 50% discount on cab fares, and a 20% discount on galettes. You also need to take into account the winnings from the restaurant battles. Unfortunately, I mistakenly doubled the price of the galette, but some people figured it out regardless.

15000*.9+1500*.5+200*.8+4000*.5 - (1984*3+4960) = 5498

Second place: Snaquaza
Third place: Keldeo-Resonant
Consolation prize to: RiverRusher~, AnonymouzLSB, PR1030
Solution: zapdos, 0.448, phione

(no blitz)

Questions...
1) Which Pokemon's base stat total is 4 times of its National Pokedex number?
2) Consider a battle between a Remoraid and a Swablu with their primary abilities. What is the probability that the Special Attack stat of Remoraid stays the same given that Remoraid uses Charge Beam while Swablu uses Moonblast?)
3) This Pokemon always goes back to where it was born regardless of how far it has floated away.

Q2 Explanation: Chance of Charge Beam hitting and raising Special Attack by 1 stage is 0.7 × 0.9 = 0.63 Chance of Moonblast not reducing Special Attack by 1 stage is 0.7 ∴ Chance of Special Attack staying the same is (0.63 × (1 - 0.7)) + ((1 - 0.63) × 0.7) = 0.448

Answers: suicune, chespin, audiosurfer
