Unlike [[Generation III]], a Pokémon cannot perform a move more than twice in a row for any reason. A Pokémon may not enter a Super Contest (including [[Visual Competition|Visual]] and [[Dance Competition|Dance]] practice sessions) if they only have one move; this makes it impossible for {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Unown}} to legally obtain any Super Contest [[Ribbon]]. | Unlike [[Generation III]], a Pokémon cannot perform a move more than twice in a row for any reason.

The object of the round is to demonstrate attacks in a unique and entertaining way. The appeals are awarded points by the competition jury, usually formed by [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]] and the resident [[Nurse Joy]]. The Coordinators with the highest scores proceed to the next round. The number of Coordinators that advance to the second round is different for each Contest. In Contests held under the [[Double Performance]] rule, Coordinators have to appeal with two Pokémon. | ||
