The Princess Day Festival is a competition consisting of Pokémon battles. Each {{pkmn|Trainer}} must use exactly four Pokémon to battle. The battles are split into two separate divisions, and the winner of each division proceeds to the finals. Each Trainer entering the festival is required to be female. Every competitor wears a formal traditional Japanese outfit, with a {{wp|Kimono}} and usually a fan. Before the actual competition, the contestants all stand in a row on stage as people gather to watch. The only confirmed winner of the Festival is {{an|Misty}}. The prizes she won from the festival were a brand new set of Pokémon Dolls, and a chance to meet superstar [[Fiorello Cappucino]], who was also an announcer of the festival. | The Princess Day Festival is a competition consisting of Pokémon battles.
