Pokémon Super Contest: Difference between revisions

This is the equivalent of the second round of Contests in [[Generation III]]. Pokémon perform [[move]]s for one of the three judges, [[Jordan]], [[Contest Judge Dexter|Dexter]] and [[Keira]], to earn Appeal Points. At the end of each round, judges award extra points to the Pokémon: 3 points if only one Pokémon performed to them, 2 points each if two Pokémon performed to them, 1 point apiece if three Pokémon performed to them, and none if all Pokémon performed to them. This competition has four rounds, rather than the five rounds found in [[Generation III]]. The Pokémon, contrary to the regular Contests, get their position by their scoring in reverse. The best scorer goes last and the worst scorer goes first. Performing a Contest-specific move (i.e. a Tough move in a Tough Contest) to any judge causes their Voltage to go up by 1, however, an incompatible move (such as a Smart move in a Cool Contest) causes the Voltage to go down by 1. The Pokémon who fills the Voltage meter will receive a bonus from the judge they performed to: Keira and Jordan give +5, Dexter (as the head judge) gives +8.

Unlike in [[Generation III]], the most a Pokémon can use any move in succession is two times. Most moves can only be used once, while specific moves, such as {{m|Outrage}} or {{m|Arm Thrust}}, may be used twice in a row. If a Pokémon only has one move, it may not enter a Super Contest (including Visual and Dance practice sessions). This makes it impossible for {{p|Unown}} and {{p|Ditto}} to legitimately have any Super Contest Ribbons.
