[[File:Grand Festival Sinnoh.png|thumb|250px|The setting for the competition]]
The '''Sinnoh Grand Festival''' is an event that will likely take place in the {{pkmn|anime}} during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Zoey mentions that the Sinnoh Grand Festival will have a [[double performance]]. {{g|Coordinator}}s who wish to enter it will need five [[ribbon]]s won from the [[Sinnoh]] region {{pkmn|contest}}s in order to do so.
The '''Sinnoh Grand Festival''' (Japanese: '''シンオウグランドフェスティバル''' ''Sinnoh Grand Festival'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive tournament organized by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]]. All [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s who have earned five {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s from the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] are eligible to enter.

In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', [[Zoey]] mentioned that the Sinnoh Grand Festival would follow the [[Double Performance]] format. In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', [[Marian]] announced that the competition would be held on the shores of [[Lake Valor]]. During the event, Coordinators stayed at the [[Hotel Grand Lake|Lakeside Resort]].
 
==Competition==
The Sinnoh Grand Festival began in ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'' and ended in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''. Like all [[Sinnoh]] [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[Marian]] was the [[Contest announcer|announcer]]. During {{an|Dawn}}'s participation in the event, 108 {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s were entered. For the tournament, she and her [[rival]]s wore new costumes.
 
Before the start of the competition, a welcoming party is held where Coordinators can interact with one another. {{si|Rhonda}} from ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' provides live coverage of the party, interviewing attendants about their expectations for the event.
 
Instead of the usual [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]], the Sinnoh Grand Festival has six judges in attendance: [[Raoul Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]], [[Lilycove City]]'s [[Nurse Joy]], her sisters from [[Pastoria City]] and [[Jubilife City]], and special guest judge [[Fantina]]. The Nurse Joy from Pastoria and Jubilife only judge the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]].
 
The winner of the competition receives the [[Ribbon Cup]] and the title of [[Top Coordinator]].
 
==Rounds==
Unlike the Grand Festival tournaments taking place in [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]], the Sinnoh Grand Festival has just one round reserved for [[Appeal|performances]] instead of two. The competition is held under the [[Double Performance]] rule, which means that {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s must use two Pokémon in all rounds.
 
===Appeals===
[[File:SGF appeal stage.png|thumb|250px|The Red, Green, and Blue stages]]
Due to the large number of participants, the Performance Stage of the Sinnoh Grand Festival takes place in three different stages; the Red Stage, the Green Stage, and the Blue Stage. Each stage has two [[Contest Judge]]s in charge of evaluating the performances delivered by the Coordinators, with the Red Stage being judged by [[Fantina]] and the [[Nurse Joy]] from [[Jubilife City]], the Green Stage by [[Mr. Sukizo]] and the Nurse Joy from [[Pastoria City]], and the Blue Stage by [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]] and the Nurse Joy from [[Lilycove City]].
 
Amid the three stages there is a rounded platform from where [[Marian]] fulfills her announcing duties. The stages can be modified to suit the needs of a Coordinator. For instance, when [[Zoey]] performed with her {{TP|Zoey|Gastrodon}} and {{p|Lumineon}}, the Blue Stage opened up to reveal a pool for the two {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to use. Each Coordinator performs on one of the three stages. Once all participants have performed, the 32 top-scoring Coordinators progress to the second round.
 
===Battles===
There is one day of rest between the first and second rounds. The second round marks the beginning of the Grand Festival's [[Contest Battle]]s with some changes to the layout. The 32 Coordinators are divided in four blocks of eight contestants each, and the winner of each block advances to the semifinals.
 
Unlike the Performance Stage, in which three Coordinators simultaneously deliver a performance in separate stages, all matches are conducted on a single battlefield. Also, the amount of judges is reduced from six to four. All Coordinators are matched-up randomly by a computer up to the semifinals. Coordinators who run out of points, have the judges rule {{DL|Fainting|Battle Off}} for their Pokémon, or have the least amount of points once time runs out are eliminated from the Grand Festival.
