A comprehensive guide to Pokémon Platinum's Contests, covering all aspects from preparation to winning.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the Contest Hall in Hearthome City.
  2. 2
    Choose a Pokémon to enter into a contest.
  3. 3
    Select a move for your Pokémon to use during the contest.
  4. 4
    The contest proceeds in turns, with Pokémon performing moves and appealing to the audience.
  5. 5
    The Pokémon with the highest appeal and lowest nervousness wins.
Tips
  • Choose Pokémon with high base stats in the relevant category (Cool, Beauty, Cute, Smart, Tough).
  • Select moves that match the contest's condition and have high appeal.
  • Use moves that can make other Pokémon nervous to lower their appeal.
  • Manage your Pokémon's nervousness level; a high nervousness decreases appeal.
  • Consider using moves that have a bonus effect when used consecutively or when the crowd is excited.
  • The order of moves can be crucial; some moves are better used early, others late.
  • Items like Scarves can boost a specific condition, making your Pokémon more likely to win in that category.
