Winner: Wan the Avatar
Second place: Aeolia
Third place: Dylas
Fourth Place: SergioRules
Fifth place: Gleeb
Sixth place: kevinrocks
Solution: cr2032, heartbrooch, glaceon

1) The pokewalker that comes with new copies of Heartgold and Soulsilver versions runs on what type of battery? (Give the six-digit alphanumeric name
2) This mystery dungeon-exclusive item allows Latias to become invisible when attacked.
3) This Pokemon’s romanized japanese name is the same as the english name of a Elite Four member from the main-series games.


Note:
(q2) Serebii's page on the pokemon-specific items in PMD2 Explorers misspells "Heart Brooch" as "Heart Broche." Change the part of the URL from "dungeon2" to "dungeonsky" and it will show the correct spelling. Bulbapedia's page on pokemon-specific items has the right spelling too. Users who PM'd me with the flawed spelling were given the correct one.

Thanks to ashiemore for hosting!
