After five rounds of appealing has passed, the four Pokémon's results are shown. Here, stars represent how well the Pokémon did in the primary judging, while hearts indicate how well the Pokémon did in the secondary judging; both fill up the four Pokémon's meters. Each star represents 63 points obtained in the voting phase (rounded up to the nearest star), while each heart represents 40 points (four appeal hearts) obtained in the appeal phase. | After five rounds of appealing has passed, the four Pokémon's results are shown.

The Pokémon whose meter becomes the highest (has the highest cumulative score, formed from the voting score and double the value of the appeals score) is announced as the winner of the Contest, and is awarded a [[Ribbon]]. A small portrait of the winner is painted and placed in the [[Contest Hall]]. In the Master Rank, if the Pokémon has already won the Ribbon for that category, the player will be given a {{Ball|Luxury}}. | The Pokémon whose meter becomes the highest (has the highest cumulative score, formed from the voting score and double the value of the appeals score) is announced as the winner of the Contest, and is awarded a [[Ribbon]].

A painter will paint a large painting if the winner of a Master Rank Contest wins with at least 800 points. These larger paintings are displayed in the {{ci|Lilycove}} [[Lilycove Museum|Museum]]. | ||

In Ruby and Sapphire, Contests can only be held with four players. However, in Emerald, there are two multiplayer modes: E-Mode (Emerald Mode) and G-Mode (Global Mode). E-Mode allows two to four Emerald players to participate in Contests. If there are less than four players, the remaining slots will be filled in by computers. In G-Mode, four Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald players can participate. | In Ruby and Sapphire, Contests can only be held with four players.

* The Contest ranks are named after the original [[Kanto]] [[Poké Ball]]s, although it seems the translation team did not catch this, as the ''Japanese'' Poké Ball names (Normal, Super, Hyper, and Master) are used in English versions.
