Contest Strategy: The Judge's Voltage Boost

Hey there! So, you're diving into the world of Pokémon Contests in Sinnoh, huh? Awesome! You might have noticed that sometimes, when you use a move, the Judge's excitement meter (we call it 'voltage') goes up by 1. But did you know there's a way to make it jump by 2 instead? It's a neat little trick that can give you a real advantage!

This isn't a specific item or a move that does this all the time, but rather a specific condition within the Contest battles themselves. When you're participating in a Contest, and you use a move that exactly matches the type the Judge is currently looking for (based on the category you're in), the Judge's voltage increases by 2 instead of the usual 1. It's like they're extra impressed!

So, keep an eye on the category you're competing in (Cool, Beauty, Cute, Smart, or Tough) and try to use moves that match that type. For example, if you're in a Cool Contest, using a Fire-type move will give you that extra voltage boost if the Judge is focused on 'coolness'.

This is super helpful for building up momentum and potentially getting a higher score. Good luck out there in the Contest Hall!
