The Cute Contest is one of five different Pokémon Contest categories, the other four being Beauty, Smart, Cool and Tough. Pokémon that are fed Sweet Pokéblocks or Poffin will have an enhanced Cute condition; this can be assisted with the Pink Scarf. Most Cute moves are Normal, Psychic, and Template:Type2s, but many other types of moves are Cute as well. Cute moves often involve moves that Pokémon learn early in their movesets and/or are not effective in battle, such as Tail Whip, Assist, Water Gun and Growl. During a Cute Contest, the following moves will excite the crowd:
The Cute condition is raised by Poffin or Pokéblocks made with sweet-flavored Berries. Pokémon with natures that boost Speed - Timid, Hasty, Jolly, and Naïve - get the most benefit from sweet Berries, so they will be the easiest to raise for a Cute Contest.
The user gains a star if their condition is good, and they receive the number of stars in appeal points next round. Every star they have (up to three) lessens the chance of the Pokémon becoming nervous.
Subtract 4 appeal points from any Pokémon who appealed before the user who used the same type of move. Subtract 1 point from any who did not use the same type of move.
