A '''Pokémon Super Contest''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスーパーコンテスト''' ''Pokémon Super Contest'') is an expanded format of the [[Pokémon Contest]]s for the [[Generation IV]] {{pkmn|games}}, specifically in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. In it, {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are rated on their appearance and performance, rather than strength. They are different from the previous generation's competitions in that not only do they have more rounds, but rounds from the earlier games have been altered. They come in four rankings in the same five categories as [[Generation III]]: {{OBP|Cool|condition}}, {{OBP|Beauty|condition}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition}}, {{OBP|Smart|condition}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition}}. | A '''Pokémon Super Contest''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスーパーコンテスト''' ''Pokémon Super Contest'') is an expanded format of the [[Pokémon Contest]]s for the [[Generation IV]] {{pkmn|games}}, specifically in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

* There appears to be a formal or semi-formal dress code for Super Contest entrants—in the [[Generation IV]] games, the player character is given a tuxedo or dress (dependent on gender) by Johanna prior to their first Contest, and anime characters are also required to dress up for Sinnoh region Contests (though {{Ash}} didn't do so in his first Contest). | * There appears to be a formal or semi-formal dress code for Super Contest entrants—in the [[Generation IV]] games, the player character is given a tuxedo or dress (dependent on gender) by Johanna prior to their first Contest, and anime characters are also required to dress up for Sinnoh region Contests (though {{Ash}} didn't do so in his first Contest). | ||
