In contrast with regular [[Pokémon Contest]]s, where contestants have to use the same {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} for the entire [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]], Coordinators in the Grand Festival are allowed to switch Pokémon between battles. As a result, contestants have the opportunity to showcase their full [[party]] throughout the competition. Another distinguishing aspect is that Grand Festival tournaments have more [[Contest Judge|judges]] in attendance to evaluate the work presented by the large number of Coordinators taking part in the event. | In contrast with regular [[Pokémon Contest]]s, where contestants have to use the same {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} for the entire [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]], Coordinators in the Grand Festival are allowed to switch Pokémon between battles.

In the Battle Stage, Pokémon Coordinators are randomly matched-up by a computer up to the semifinals. The battles adhere to the [[Double Battle]] format and victory goes to the Coordinator whose attacks most effectively lower the opponent's points within the five-minute time limit. A battle will also end due to judges ruling {{DL|Fainting|Battle Off}} when understanding that both of a contestant's Pokémon are unable to battle, or when they perceive that the one standing after its partner has been previously knocked out can no longer continue. | In the Battle Stage, Pokémon Coordinators are randomly matched-up by a computer up to the semifinals.
