Please people in the stands stop calling me Pokéathlete Grant and wanting my autograph and other things
(→Trivia: They're not really all that similar (see talk). This is like looking at clouds and saying they're rabbits and horses and ice cream cones. You see what you want to see.) |

'''Pokéathlon''' (Japanese: '''ポケスロン''' ''Pokéthlon'') is a type of competition involving Pokémon racing and similar athletic competitions, in the manner of {{wp|Olympic games|Olympic}} {{wp|track and field}} competitions. It was introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. The [[Pokéathlon Dome]], where the competitions are held, is north of [[Goldenrod City]], next to [[National Park]]. | '''Pokéathlon''' (Japanese: '''ポケスロン''' ''Pokéthlon'') is a type of competition involving Pokémon racing and similar athletic competitions, in the manner of {{wp|Olympic games|Olympic}} {{wp|track and field}} competitions.

The Pokéathlon is handled similarly to [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s in the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s, as a sidequest to complete while the {{player}} challenges the [[Gym]]s and the [[Pokémon League]]. Like in Contests, four competitors participate at once; however, each uses a team of three Pokémon instead of only one. The Pokémon that take part are known as "Pokéathletes". | The Pokéathlon is handled similarly to [[Pokémon Contest]]s and {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s in the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s, as a sidequest to complete while the {{player}} challenges the [[Gym]]s and the [[Pokémon League]].

Like the [[condition|five stats]] introduced for Contests, [[performance|five additional stats]] were added for the Pokéathlon: Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump. Like the Contest conditions and battle stats, a Pokémon's performance stats are affected by its [[Nature]] (more directly so, like the battle stats, than the condition). Using the Apriblender, Aprijuice can be made and used to boost or lower these Performance Stats. | Like the [[condition|five stats]] introduced for Contests, [[performance|five additional stats]] were added for the Pokéathlon: Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump.
