This is the equivalent of the second round of contests in [[Generation III]]. Pokémon perform [[move]]s for one of the three judges, [[Jordan]], [[Contest Judge Dexter|Dexter]] and [[Keira]], to earn appeal points. At the end of each round, judges award extra points to the Pokémon: 3 points if only one Pokémon performed to them, 2 points each if two Pokémon performed to them, 1 point apiece if three Pokémon performed to them, and none if all Pokémon performed to them. This competition has four rounds, rather than the five rounds found in [[Generation III]]. The Pokémon, contrary to the regular contests, get their position by their scoring in reverse. The best scorer goes last and the worst scorer goes first. Performing a Contest-specific move (i.e. a tough move in a tough contest) to any judge causes their voltage to go up by 1, however, an incompatible move (such as a smart move in a cool contest) causes the voltage to go down by 1. The Pokémon who fills the voltage meter will receive a bonus from the judge they performed to: Keira and Jordan give +5, Dexter (as the head judge) gives +8. | This is the equivalent of the second round of contests in [[Generation III]].

Unlike [[Generation III]], a Pokémon cannot perform a move more than twice in a row for any reason; a Pokémon may not enter a Super Contest (including Visual and Dance practice sessions) if they only have one move; this makes it impossible for {{p|Unown}} ( | Unlike [[Generation III]], a Pokémon cannot perform a move more than twice in a row for any reason; a Pokémon may not enter a Super Contest (including Visual and Dance practice sessions) if they only have one move; this makes it impossible for {{p|Unown}} (without hacking) and {{p|Ditto}} (without using the [[Rage glitch]]) to have any Super Contest ribbons. | ||
