The Pokémon Contest Extravaganza Theme

Pokemon Contest Extravaganza!, is a returning feature from the past games. It is a type of competition hosted in the Pokémon Grand Halls in Koyasu City. These competitions often include several different rounds to judge both trainer and Pokémon. They are judged on their conditions, moves, and overall skill throughout the contest.

Basic Information[]

Like the battles have specific types and stats, Pokémon Contests also have their own types. There are five different types of contest to participate in. These are:

Coolness
Beauty
Cuteness
Cleverness
Toughness

There are also several different ranks of the contest you can compete in. However, you can only compete in these if you have completed the previous ones. The ranks are:

Beginner Rank
Normal Rank
Super Rank
Hyper Rank
Master Rank

Preparation[]

In order to do well in a specific category, you must train up your Pokémon and increase their stats in the type of contest you want it to be good in. You can train your Pokémon by feeding them certain poképuffs or pokéblocks. Like before, pokéblocks are created from a mixture of berries. As a new addition, you are now able to make poképuffs out of berries as well. There is a difference between the two, however. Pokéblocks use up less materials, but do not give the Pokémon as much skill. Poképuffs take up more materials, but give you more skill as well.

Not only will your Pokémon need training, but so will you! Now, you are able to dress yourself up in different suits and dresses available to you too dress up in the contest. You can either purchase outfits or earn them by completing certain task. The more your outfit matches the category and your Pokémon, the more attention you'll draw in from the crowd. Also, you are able to get your hair washed and styles, as well as put on makeup and accessories, such as bracelets, earrings, ect.

Rounds[]

Introduction[]

In a Pokémon Contest, the introduction round always goes first. In this round, all of the Coordinators and their Pokémon are simply judged by their appearance and skill based on the condition of a certain stat of whichever you have entered. The score can be improved if your Pokémon is holding a specific item.

Doing good in the introduction round will make the judges more fond of you and your Pokémon as the competition progresses. After the introduction round is the Appeal Round.

Main Appeal[]

The Main Appeal Round is one of the main parts in the contest, in which four Pokémon take turns appealing to the judges by using specific Pokémon moves. You can also gain appeal from the crowd, boosting your excite meter.

Sing and Dance Round[]

The Singing Round is another section of the contest, and is an entirely new feature. In this round, the Coordinator and their Pokémon pick a song of their choice (depending on which category of the contest they entered), then dance and sing to it. You do this by entering commands using the 3DS controls as they appear on screen to a certain beat. Your rhythm is what determines how many points you get in this round. A perfect beat with earn you 50 points, a good beat will earn you 35 points, a safe beat will earn you 25 points, a sad beat will ear you 10 points, and a missed beat will earn you none.

Mega Evolution[]

If you have a mega evolving Pokémon holding their respective mega stone, when their excite meter is full, you have the option to mega evolve it and earn double the points you were before as it performs a stunning display, captivating the audience.
