Second Place: Wan the Avatar
Third Place: Darthikyu
Fourth Place: shadowtheorem

Q1) This is the only Pokémon species that can be received from an in-game trainer in a game that is set to Japanese and have a nickname consisting solely of letters of the Latin alphabet.
Q2) Due to an error, some TCG cards of this Pokémon seem to imply that it evolved from itself.
Q3) A trainer in Pokémon Colosseum had a name that implied him only using a certain type, but a string of dialogue points out that this Pokémon wasn’t a grass type.

Congratulations to all finishers and thanks to everyone that participated! Hope you enjoyed my first solo official in forever :D Also special thanks to mycoolquiz and eggplant lance for QC'ing!!!
