In the secondary phase, the four Pokémon take turns [[appeal]]ing, using certain [[moves]] in front of an appointed judge. In one contest, there are five rounds of Appealing, in which each Pokémon may make appeals once or not at all, depending on the moves it and the other Pokémon have used in the previous round. Every move that a Pokémon can learn is in one of the five contest categories and adds a certain amount of "red hearts" (how much the Judge likes the appealing Pokémon) or "black hearts" (a negative number of red hearts), and may have a certain effect on the user or the other appealing Pokémon. Effects on other Pokémon include [[Jam]]ming or reducing other Pokémon's number of hearts, making other Pokémon more nervous, and so forth.

In the first round, the turn order is determined by how well each Pokémon did in the preliminary judging. In the rounds after the first, they are ordered from who won the most hearts to the least in the next round, unless one of the appealers' moves changes or randomizes the order. | In the first round, the turn order is determined by how well each Pokémon did in the preliminary judging.
