Contest combination

This article does not yet meet the quality standards of Bulbapedia. Please feel free to edit this article to make it conform to Bulbapedia norms and conventions.

A Contest combination is a pairing of two moves out of a specific set that, when used one after another in Contests and Super Contests, form a specially recognized combination, which earns the user additional appeal.

Several of these combinations were actually introduced in Generation II, before Contests existed in the games, as "combination attacks" that offered beneficial bonuses when used one after another in battle, such as Defense Curl being followed by Rollout.

Many of these moves can follow up one move to form a combination, as well as be followed up by another move to form a different combination. Stacking combinations is not allowed, however; only one combination can occur at a time. If a move is used as a follow-up for one combination, it cannot act as the setup for another combination that same turn.

Combinations usable in Pokémon Contests

When any of the combinations below are used, the second move of that combination will receive double the base appeal points that it would have earned otherwise. Extra hearts from increased condition or position bonuses are not doubled.
