A '''''Contest Combination''''' is a strategy employed in a [[Pokemon Contest]] and [[Pokemon Super Contest]]. Much like the Combat Combinations, the Contest Combos are only preformed when the techniques are used back-to-back. Using a correct Combination of moves successfully will increase damage inflicted in Combat and voltage points in Contest.
{{move|Appeal combo}}
{{unknown name}}
A '''Contest combination''' is a pairing of two [[move]]s out of a specific set that form a specially recognized combination when used one after another in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, granting the user additional Appeal Points.


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 {{pkmn|battle}}, such as {{m|Defense Curl}} being followed by {{m|Rollout}}.


===Combos===
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, however, is not allowed; 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.
<!--When adding to this list, make sure it is a real combo that works! Most of these were added directly from Nintendo's Official Guide for Ruby/Sapphire.-->


{| {{Bluetable|background: white; margin: left;}}
Many move combinations, particularly those in Generation VI, reflect combinations one might use in a battle to make certain moves more effective. For example, {{m|Toxic}} followed up by {{m|Hex}} form a combination since Toxic inflicts Bad Poison, while Hex inflicts double damage to any Pokémon with a major status condition.

==In the games==
===Pokémon Contests===
When any of the combinations below is 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 affected. If a Pokémon that has used the first move of a Contest combination is dazzled by another that uses {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, or {{m|Smokescreen}} after it, the combination is cancelled.
<!--These lists should be complete, as they are based directly on the game files. Please check carefully before changing them-->

===Contest Spectaculars===
Combinations '''do not''' work the same as they did in Generation III; instead of earning double the normal appeal, moves that finish a combination will instead always earn 3 extra Appeal Points. The combinations themselves are often different, and the Beauty and Smart categories have been renamed to Beautiful and Clever respectively.
<!--These lists should be complete, as they are based directly on the game files. Please check carefully before changing them-->

'''A combination that is interrupted cannot be resumed''' after the First Turn has been completed. On the other hand, if the First Turn move is interrupted, it may be used again, but not as effectively (using the same move twice in a row receives scorn from the Judge). Even if the move was repeated, a combination can be made.

|-
|colspan="5"|&nbsp;

'''Certain Follow Up moves are also the First Turn move for a different combination.''' A Combination of three such as the example below will NOT work in a Contest:


*[[Calm Mind]]
{{contest-combo/head|Tough}}
*[[Confusion]]
{{contest-combo|Rototiller|Tough|1|0|Gets the Pokémon pumped up. Helps prevent nervousness, too.}}
*[[Future Sight]]
|-
!colspan="5"|Follow Up
{{contest-combo|Bullet Seed|Cool|1|0|Effectiveness varies depending on when it is used.}}
{{contest-combo|Leech Seed|Clever|1|0|Gets the Pokémon pumped up. Helps prevent nervousness, too.}}
{{contest-combo|Seed Bomb|Tough|4|0|Quite an appealing move.}}
{{contest-combo|Worry Seed|Clever|2|0|Makes the remaining Pokémon nervous.}}
|-
|colspan="5"|&nbsp;
|}




The reason why is because a Combo is activated from the First Turn move: when it attracts special attention from the Judge. The Judge always recognizes a First Turn move, and awards the immediate Follow Up move.  
{{contest-combo/head|Tough}}
Basically, it is impossible to follow up a Follow Up move.
{{contest-combo|Sandstorm|Tough|2|1|Badly startles all Pokémon that successfully showed their appeal.}}
It is certainly possible, though, to have two combinations, back to back such as the example below:
|-
!colspan="5"|Follow Up
{{contest-combo|Sand Attack|Cute|3|0|Makes audience expect little of other contestants.}}
{{contest-combo|Sand Tomb|Clever|3|0|Temporarily stops the crowd from growing excited.}}
{{contest-combo|Weather Ball|Beautiful|3|0|An appealing move that can be used repeatedly without boring the audience.}}
|-
|colspan="5"|&nbsp;
|}


*[[Calm Mind]]
*[[Confusion]]
*[[Kinesis]]
*[[Future Sight]]


{{contest-combo/head|Tough}}
{{contest-combo|Stockpile|Tough|1|0|Gets the Pokémon pumped up. Helps prevent nervousness, too.}}
|-
!colspan="5"|Follow Up
{{contest-combo|Spit Up|Tough|1|0|Works well if the user is pumped up.}}
{{contest-combo|Swallow|Tough|2|0|Prevents the user from being startled one time this turn.}}
|-
|colspan="5"|&nbsp;
|}


[[Calm Mind]], [[Confusion]], and [[Kinesis]] are all potential Start Up moves, but, in this example, [[Confusion]] is used as a Follow Up turn, along with [[Future Sight]]. [[Calm Mind]] would attract the Judge's attention, and then [[Confusion]] would earn extra voltage points. Then, [[Kinesis]] would attract the Judge's attention and [[Future Sight]] would earn extra voltage points.


In this sense, due to a restriction of the number of rounds in the Appeals/ Acting Competition, it is impossible to successfully use more than two Combinations per Contest.

Pachirisu then runs around in the ball while using {{m|Discharge}}. The result is a chandelier of ice that glows in a beautiful blue hue. Pachirisu can run inside the chandelier to hit the foes. {{m|AncientPower}} allows it to float while {{m|Hidden Power}} adds power to it. The combination was developed by {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'' and used against [[Ursula]] in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] in ''[[DP175|Opposites Interact!]]''.
