15. Pokemon Contests
====================
The newest and probably best addition to the Pokemon world is the Pokemon
Contest. This is a place where Trainers gather to see who has the best Pokemon
of a specific category. In order to compete, you must get a Contest Pass from
the lady who enters your Pokemon in the Contest in Verdanturf Town.
There are four rankings: Normal, Super, Hyper, and Master.
Normal Rank is found in Verdanturf Town.
Super Rank is found in Fallarbor Town.
Hyper Rank is found in Slateport City.
Master Rank is found in Lilycove City.
You must go from Normal to Super to Hyper to Master. There is no skipping
around or starting at the Master Rank.
There are five categories to compete in: Cool, Beauty, Cute, Smart, and Tough.
You can see your Pokemon's Contest data by looking at their Summaries, then
using Right on the D-Pad three times. Press A to see what they can do. Your
objective is to impress the audience and Judge with your moves.
A few Tips.
-----------
+------+-------+
|Flavor|Contest|
+------+-------+
|Bitter| Smart |
| Dry | Beauty|
PokeBlock flavors, and| Spicy| Cool |the Contests they correspond to.
| Sweet| Cute |
| Sour | Tough |
+------+-------+
If you're in a Cool Contest, use Cool moves, not Smart or Tough moves. Using
the same type of move as the Contest gets the audience's excitement meter goin'
up.
Landing the fifth audience excitement heart gets INSANE hearts.
Protection moves such as Rest are helpful, but not necessary.
Destiny Bond and Explosion may get you lots of hearts, but you can't make any
more appeals after doing so. Use these moves only on the fifth round, when no
more appeals can be done anyway! The same goes for moves that make you miss a
round of appeals, such as Outrage or Petal Dance.
Try to create a moveset that works for your Pokemon. My Cool Rayquaza, for
example:
Rayquaza@Red Scarf
Shock Wave - Works well if it's the first appeal.
Extremespeed - Appeal first next turn.
Outrage - Previous appealers get -4 hearts, user misses an appeal round.
Twister - Scrambles up the appeal order next turn.
All these moves are Cool. First turn, if I'm not going first already, use
Extremespeed so I do go first. Then, when I'm appealing first, use Shock Wave
and get triple the hearts. Then use Twister to perhaps make me go first again.
If I do, Shock Wave for six hearts. If I don't, use Shock Wave anyway so I
won't go first in the fifth round. Round 5, Outrage them all and make them lose
hearts while I get a solid four. No more appeals, so it doesn't matter if I
miss a round or not.
See? Try and make pairs that make you either go first or last, and moves that
do better when you are first/last, such as Agility and Swift or Vital Throw and
Reversal.
==================
15a. Berry Blender
==================
In order to heighten your score for Round 1, you need to feed your Pokemon
PokeBlocks. Get a PokeBlock Case from a kid inside Slateport Pokemon House.
You can play Berry Blender with the AI or link with a friend or three and do
it. Berry Blenders are only found in Contest Houses. They look like white
squares with four red dots on them. The empty one is for linking with people,
while you can always find an old man (and other people in various houses) to
blend with if you have no friends (or you're using the rom).
More Tips.
----------
The more people you blend with, the smoother the block and the better it is.
The lower the feel, the better it is.
The faster you go, the better the block that comes out.
Blocks that heighten less traits will raise those specific traits more than if
it raises many different traits.
============
15b. Round 1
============
Introduction round. The audience looks at your Pokemon and decides if they
like it or not. Boost your chances by feeding it the correct PokeBlock for the
Contest you entered. For example, if you enter a Beauty Contest, make sure it
has a high Beauty level, from feeding it PokeBlocks that increase Beauty.
============
15c. Round 2
============
This is the round that matters. The appeal round, where your Pokemon does
moves to impress the audience, and more importantly, the Judge.
Tip: Don't use the same move twice in a row. You'll lose hearts for it. Hidden
Power, as well as a few others, are able to be used more than once in a row
and not bore the Judge.
The move Return will excite the audience in any Contest.
After five rounds of appealing, the Contest will end and you'll see who wins.
If you win, you receive a Ribbon for your Pokemon that entered, and that one
Pokemon will be able to advance to the next rank.
Also, the Lilycove City Museum Curator will paint your Pokemon's picture for
display in the museum if it wins the Master Rank Contest. Get your picture
painted five times (one for each Contest), and you will receive a Trainer Star
and a Glass Ornament. You must have talked to the curator before attempting
this.
