Learn how to get an extra +2 bonus in Pokémon Platinum Contests by being the first to appeal. This guide explains the mechanic and its impact on your score.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    During a Contest battle, pay attention to the turn order.
  2. 2
    If you are the first Trainer to select the 'Appeal' action in a given turn, you will receive a bonus +2 to your score for that turn.
  3. 3
    This bonus is applied on top of any points gained from the Appeal action itself.
  4. 4
    The bonus is only awarded to the first person to appeal each turn. If multiple Trainers appeal in the same turn, only the first one to do so receives the bonus.
Tips
  • Prioritize appealing early in turns when you have a good opportunity to score points, especially if you are close to winning.
  • Consider the Pokémon's condition and the current mood of the audience when deciding to appeal.
  • While not directly related to the appeal bonus, having high-scoring moves and managing your Pokémon's condition are still vital for overall success in Contests.
