Walkthrough
- 1Understand the Contest Appeal System: Each turn, Trainers choose an action: Appeal, Use Item, or Special.
- 2The Appeal Action: Appealing allows you to gain points based on the judge's mood and the Pokémon's condition.
- 3The Last Appeal Bonus: If your Pokémon is the last one to appeal in a turn, the points you earn are doubled.
- 4Strategic Appeal: Plan your appeals to ensure your Pokémon goes last whenever possible. This often involves observing other trainers' actions and choosing to appeal when you know you'll be the final one.
