Learn how to get an extra +2 bonus in Pokémon Platinum Contests by being the last to appeal. This guide explains the mechanic for the Normal, Super, Hyper, and Master ranks.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Participate in any Pokémon Contest in Sinnoh.
  2. 2
    During the Appeal phase of any turn, observe the order in which the other Pokémon (and their Trainers) appeal.
  3. 3
    If your Pokémon is the last one to appeal in that turn, you will automatically receive a +2 bonus to your score for that turn.
  4. 4
    This bonus is independent of the Pokémon's condition, moves used, or the specific Contest type (Normal, Super, Hyper, Master).
Tips
  • Pay attention to the turn order. Sometimes it's beneficial to appeal earlier to set up for a later turn, but if you're aiming for this bonus, ensure you are the final appealer.
  • This strategy is most effective when you have a strong move that can be used to appeal, as the bonus adds to your base appeal.
  • Consider the overall strategy for the Contest. While the +2 bonus is helpful, don't sacrifice a good move or positioning for it if it means losing out on other scoring opportunities.
