'''Contest categories''', also called '''Contest conditions''' (Japanese: '''コンディション''' ''condition''), are five different categories of Contests, used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, and {{pkmn|Contest|Contest Spectaculars}}. The five categories are Coolness, Beauty, Cuteness, Cleverness, and Toughness.

Each Pokémon [[move]] is categorized under one of these five categories, corresponding generally with the nature of the move, with certain types of moves generally becoming certain Contest categories. In addition, [[Berry]] flavors, [[Pokéblock]] colors, [[Poffin]] flavors, and Pokémon [[Nature]]s are associated with certain Contest categories.

In [[Pokémon Contest]]s, Pokémon with a raised Contest condition in the category of Contest entered will score higher in the primary judging. In [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, Pokémon with a raised Contest condition in the category of Contest entered will score higher in the dress-up round.

{{p|Feebas}}'s evolution is based on its Beauty condition. Beautiful Feebas will evolve into {{p|Milotic}} upon leveling up. In [[Generation V]], the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Prism Scale}} was introduced; trading a Feebas holding a Prism Scale will also cause it to evolve into Milotic. This is due to a lack of means to increase Beauty in these games. However, beautiful Feebas transferred from games where Contest conditions can be raised to games where they cannot will still evolve into Milotic upon leveling up, because Contest conditions are still in the code of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{v2|Black and White|s}}, {{v2|Black and White|s|2}}, and {{pkmn|X and Y}}.

In a similar fashion to its effect on battle [[stats]], a Pokémon's [[Nature]] has an effect on the ability to raise the stats of a specific category.
