Pokémon Showcases are performance tournaments that take place in various locations throughout [[Kalos]]. Contestants are allowed to use up to six {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In essence, they are similar to [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real-world]] {{wp|beauty pageant}}s. There are two classes of Pokémon Showcases, the Rookie Class and the Master Class. Every {{pkmn|Performer}} may compete in Rookie Class tournaments, but only those who have collected at least three Princess Keys can enter the Master Class. | Pokémon Showcases are performance tournaments that take place in various locations throughout [[Kalos]].

Pokémon Showcases are divided in two sections. The first is called the '''Theme Performance''' (Japanese: '''テーマパフォーマンス''' ''Theme Performance'') and can encompass different activities. The activity of the Theme Performance depends on the specific Showcase tournament. This section usually takes place in multiple rounds, with three contestants per round facing off against each other, though only the winner of each round will move on to the next section. However, as the Theme Performance varies between tournaments, the criteria for winning them also differs. | Pokémon Showcases are divided in two sections.
