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 the Rookie Class, but only those who have collected at least three Princess Keys can enter the Master Class. | ||
Rookie Class tournaments 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. | Rookie Class tournaments are divided in two sections.

In the Master Class | In the Master Class, 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. In rounds prior to the semifinals, each Perform gets a turn performing individually before the three of them perform at the same time. They must perform with a single Pokémon and they are allowed to affect the performances of each other. | ||
During the semifinals, Performers are called on stage one at a time and they have to perform using two Pokémon. The winning Performer advances to the final round, where the current {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}} awaits. As the winner of the previous Master Class competition, the Kalos Queen has a guaranteed spot in the final round, where she must defend her title. Performers are allowed to use up to six Pokémon in the finals.

One notable difference between the Rookie Class and the Master Class is the voting system; while in the Rookie Class only the Glow Caster can be used to vote, in the Master Class people all over the Kalos region are able to vote by using devices similar to {{wp|smartphone}}s. | ||
Rookie Class winners receive a {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}}, and the Master Class winner receives the title of Kalos Queen. Pokémon Showcases are hosted by [[Monsieur Pierre]]. | |||
