Ruling Confusion and Evolving

[StruckByRain]

If my active Pokemon is confused, do I have to flip to use it's Poke-Body or Poke-Power? o.0

Let's say the game just started, I went first, I do my stuff and now it's my opponents turn, It's his FIRST turn, so can he use a rare candy to evolve a Pokemon that he had put on his bench face down?

RE: Confusion.

You don't have to flip to see if it works, but make sure you check to see if it can use its Poke-Power or Poke-Body when it is affected by a special condition such as confused.~Mark

If your opponent goes second, he may play trainers, supporters, or stadiums, so he is allowed to use Rare Candy to evolve one of his Pokemon.
Generally, Poke-Powers cannot be used if a Pokemon is affected by a Special Condition. Poke-Bodies, however, always work when their conditions are met (unless they are turned off, e.g. Time Crystal).
