A Pokémon Contest is divided into two parts. In the first round, called the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]], Coordinators have their Pokémon performing their [[move]]s in order to showcase their style and skill. The appeals are awarded points by a [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]], usually formed by [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]] from the organizing committee, [[Mr. Sukizo]] from the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], and the [[Nurse Joy]] from the local [[Pokémon Center]]. The Coordinators with the highest scores proceed to the next round. The number of Coordinators that advance to the second round varies. The second round is the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]], in which Coordinators compete in [[Pokémon battle]]s while continuing to show off their Pokémon's style and skill. Each battle lasts five minutes and the object of the battle is to decrease the opponent's points. Coordinators lose points when their Pokémon are hit by an attack, when their Pokémon's attack fails, when the opponent's Pokémon performs a particularly appealing move, or when the opponent's Pokémon uses their Pokémon's attack to its own advantage. A battle can also end when one of the Pokémon is unable to battle, called {{DL|Fainting|Battle Off}} by the judges. In this case, the Coordinator with the remaining Pokémon is declared the winner. | A Pokémon Contest is divided into two parts.

A Coordinator needs a [[Contest Pass]] from a particular region to enter Pokémon Contests there. Coordinators who win five Ribbons of a specific region are able to enter that region's [[Grand Festival]]. A Ribbon won from events such as the [[Wallace Cup]] can be used in ''any'' region. Also, Ribbons do not expire, and multiple years can be used to collect the five needed for the Grand Festival.

Winners of the Grand Festival earn the [[Ribbon Cup]] and become [[Top Coordinator]]s. | ||
