When evolving Eevee into Sylveon, it says you need to max out affection, does that mean all 5 hearts? the first time i did it it only took 2 and i haven't seen anything other than maxing it out.

Eevee only needs 2 Amie hearts, a Fairy move (Baby Doll Eyes or Charm in this case), and a level up to evolve into Sylveon.

So apparently the nickname filter prevents unnicknamed Bulbasaurs from being traded on the GTS? o_O

Does this apply to Wondertrade too? I wanna breed some Bulbasaurs at some point and WT them around, will I have to Nickname them all?

I've traded bulbasaurs both via wonder trade and posting on the gts both giving and receiving, is it a bred bulbasaur or one you got from a previos game via poke bank? the pokebank version might not, but i dunno

I'm thinking of breeding Chimchar with a Focus Punch. Will Infernape benefits from Focus Punch in competitive level?

Focus Punch is definitely not a good move for Infernape. Go with Close Combat instead, or maybe even Mach Punch. If you want a complete moveset, then here it is:

Infernape (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Mach Punch / Close Combat
- Blaze Kick
- Acrobatics

Here's another one:

Infernape (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- U-turn
- Mach Punch
- Flare Blitz
- Hidden Power [Water]

1. For the battle chateau, does defeating trainers make room for new trainers to appear more quickly? Or is it independent, and they disappear and reappear at their own schedule?

It's based on real time. In my experience it takes about an hour for all the trainers to be replaced, maybe less.

Infernape is too frail to set up Swords Dance (and Nasty Plot) this generation. Acrobatics is terrible without Flying Gem, and Infernape is easily picked off by priority. It also needs Thunder Punch to muscle past Water Pokemon:
-Flare Blitz
-Close Combat
-U-turn/Mach Punch
-Thunder Punch
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Iron Fist

or
-Overheat/Fire Blast
-Close Combat
-Thunder Punch
-U-turn/Mach Punch/Hidden Power (Ice)
Nature: Hasty/Naive
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Expert Belt
Ability: Iron Fist

or
-Flare Blitz/Fire Blast
-Close Combat
-U-turn
-Stone Edge/Hidden Power (Ice)
Nature: Hasty/Naive
EVs: 36 Atk/220 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Choice Scarf

or
-Fake Out
-Stealth Rock
-Overheat
-Close Combat
Nature: Hasty/Naive
EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Focus Sash
Ability: Blaze

Cofagrigas is the only Pokemon that is still limited to being nicknamed to be GTS or Wonder Trade traded. I've traded and received unnicknamed Bulbasaurs from both and you can search GTS for bulbasaur and see them without nicknames.

Where did you get your Bulbasaur, does it have anything on it like move wise or item? What language is your game and system though I don't think Bulbasaur's names are filtered at all.

How do I spread pokerus to my other pokemon? Will putting the infected pokemon in the PC keep it from losing its pokerus status indefinitely?

Leaving a Pokerus-infected Pokemon in the PC will retain the virus. The only way to spread it among the team is to put the Pokemon in the team and walk/run/bike around for a bit.

This is only a thing I've heard on Wikis. So I can trade away unnicked Bulbasaurs? x3 Good to know!

1: You need to have the infected Pokemon in your party, and any of the Pokemon you wish to infect in as well. Then you have to battle. After every battle (maybe it's every 3 battles, it's been a while) there is a chance that the pokemon in the slot next to an infected Pokemon will get infected as well.
2: Yes

where can you find the move disable? I am trying to teach my gengar it but dont know where it is?

 

[Nah]

Sorry about that. To get a Gengar with Disable, you have to breed it with a Muk, one of the Duskull line, Yasmask, or Cofagrigus that knows Disable.

 

[GOGOheadray]

anyone knows where the money o-power is?

[Bestintheworld]

There's no event pokemon available currently, but when they are the directions on how to collect should be easily found, most likely similar to the torchic event or a gamestop event

Thank you.

To download event Pokémon, all you need to know is how to use Mystery Gift. :] If you still need full step-by-step instructions, then you should try looking them up online—many sites have them.
