The second section is called the '''Freestyle Performance''' (Japanese: '''フリーパフォーマンス''' ''Free Performance''), which is the same in each Pokémon Showcase. The {{pkmn|Performer}} and her Pokémon perform together on stage, making full use of the Pokémon's capabilities. It is similar to the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of a [[Pokémon Contest]]. However, unlike {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s, Performers must be involved in an active part of the performance, since Showcase performances also focus on the Trainers and their ability to perform alongside their Pokémon, whereas in Pokémon Contests the Pokémon are always the main attraction. | The second section is called the '''Freestyle Performance''' (Japanese: '''フリーパフォーマンス''' ''Free Performance''), which is the same in each Pokémon Showcase.

In the Master Class tournament, contestants have to deliver Freestyle Performances from the very beginning as there are no Theme Performance rounds. The competing Performers are divided into trios and whoever receives the highest number of votes is declared the winner of their group and advances to the next round.
