The Pokéathlon is handled similarly to [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s in the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions, as a sidequest to complete while the {{player}} challenges the {{pkmn|Gym}}s and the [[Pokémon League]]. Like in Contests, four competitors participate at once; however, each uses a team of three Pokémon instead of only one. The Pokémon that take part are known as "Pokéathletes". | The Pokéathlon is handled similarly to [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s in the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions, as a sidequest to complete while the {{player}} challenges the {{pkmn|Gym}}s and the [[Pokémon League]].

By winning events in the Pokéathlon, the participating Pokémon will earn medals for their {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}}. Their Trainers will earn points for the competition based on how well the team did, if they qualified for any of the several bonuses, and a win will earn their Trainer an additional 100 points (300 points in the Supreme Cup or 500 points in Link Pokéathlon), all which can be spent on prizes at the Salon Shop or Data Cards with which the player may see records of various actions, course wins and losses, and multiple other statistics in the Pokéathlon Dome. Beating the records for all 10 of the events in the Pokéathlon earns a [[Trainer star]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver. | By winning events in the Pokéathlon, the participating Pokémon will earn medals for their {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}}.
