Learn how to get a +2 point bonus in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Contests by being the first to appeal. This guide explains the mechanic for all Contest types.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    During a Pokémon Contest, each Trainer gets a turn to appeal.
  2. 2
    The order of appeal is determined by the Pokémon's condition and the player's performance in previous rounds.
  3. 3
    If you are the first Trainer to appeal in a given turn, you will receive an additional +2 points to your score for that turn.
  4. 4
    This bonus is a significant advantage and can help you win the Contest, especially in higher difficulty levels.
Tips
  • Pay attention to the appeal order. If you are not the first to appeal, focus on maximizing your Pokémon's performance in the turn.
  • Consider using moves that increase your appeal order or disrupt opponents to ensure you get the first appeal.
  • The bonus is applied at the end of the turn, so you'll see the score increase immediately after your appeal if you were first.
