The '''Queen of the Princess Festival''' (Japanese: '''クイーンコンテスト''' ''Queen Contest'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive, [[Gender|girls]]-only competition held once a year in [[O-Hina Town]] consisting of [[Pokémon battle]]s.
The Queen of the Princess Festival is a girls-only competition that is the main attraction of the Princess Festival. It consists of a beauty pageant followed by a battle tournament.  
 
Each {{pkmn|Trainer}} must use exactly four {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to battle. The contestants are split into two separate divisions, and the winner of each division proceeds to the finals. Additionally, every contestant wears a formal traditional Japanese outfit, usually a {{wp|kimono}} and a {{wp|Hand fan|hand-held fan}}. Before the actual competition, the contestants all stand in a row on stage as people gather to watch.
 
The prize for winning the contest is a brand new set of Pokémon Princess Dolls, and a photo with famous [[Movies in the Pokémon world|movie]] star [[Fiorella Cappuccino]], who was also an announcer of the contest.
 
{{an|Misty}} and [[Jessie]] both entered the contest with borrowed Pokémon, with Misty borrowing [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, as well as [[Brock's Vulpix]], and Jessie borrowing [[James's Weezing]]. Jessie also had {{MTR}} participating in the event under her command.
 
The two contestants made it all the way to the final round, where they had a fierce battle. In the end, despite Jessie using her new [[Jessie's Lickitung|Lickitung]] as an unexpected fourth Pokémon, Misty emerged victorious with {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, winning the Pokémon doll collection, which she later sent to [[The Sensational Sisters|her sisters]] at the [[Cerulean Gym]].
