Pokémon Showcases are performance tournaments that take place in various towns throughout Kalos. They are divided in two sections. The first is called the Theme Performance and can encompass activities such as making {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|Poké Puffs}}, {{pkmn|groomer|grooming Pokémon}}, or performing with props. The activity of the Theme Performance depends on the specific Showcase tournament. The second section is called the Free Performance, which is the same in each Pokémon Showcase. The {{pkmn|Performer}} and her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} perform together on stage, making full use of the Pokémon's capabilities.

Unlike [[Pokémon Contest]]s, where the main focus is on the Pokémon, in Showcases, the attention is also placed on the trainer as well.

There are several classes in Pokémon Showcase tournaments, with the lowest being Rookie Class and the highest being Master Class. In ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]'', it was implied that Pokémon Showcases used to be judged by at least one professional judge. However, after Aria became Kalos Queen, a famous judge called [[Palermo]] quit. In the present day, contestants are judged by the audience. Each contestant gets a heart-shaped key used to receive votes from the audience. Each person in the audience can bring out one vote on a special luminous voting device called the '''PokéLumes'''. The device sends out small luminous balls of light that connect to the keys of the participants according to the color of their key. The participant with the key that absorbs the most lights is decided the winner. An exception to this voting system was shown in [[XY079]], where a professional set of judges evaluated Poké Puffs made by participants in the Theme Performance. | There are several classes in Pokémon Showcase tournaments, with the lowest being Rookie Class and the highest being Master Class.
