'''Accessories''' (Japanese: '''アクセサリー''' ''Accessory'') are a type of [[item]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. They are stored in the [[Fashion Case]], along with [[Backdrop]]s.

Accessories are used in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s during the [[Visual Competition]] to improve the looks of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The better the Accessories used match to the Contest's theme, the more points are scored in the Visual Competition. Additionally, Pokémon may be dressed up with Accessories and have their [[Photography|pictures]] taken at [[Jubilife TV]] in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} or at the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, the Pokémon's corresponding Diamond and Pearl sprite is used so that the picture can be displayed in Diamond and Pearl when records are mixed.

The [[Generation V]] equivalent is [[Prop]]s, which are used in the [[Pokémon Musical]]. They also are put on different parts of the Pokémon like the Pokémon's head, arms, face, body, and ears.

Accessories are not in [[Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], [[remake]]s of two Generation IV games released as part of [[Generation VIII]].<ref>[https://diamondpearl.pokemon.com/en-us/trainersguide/supercontests/ Trainer's Guide] Pokémon.com</ref>
