This guide provides a walkthrough for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, covering all aspects of the game from start to finish, including bonus maps like the Battle Tower.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Understanding Contests: Pokémon Contests are special events where trainers compete based on their Pokémon's condition, moves, and appeal. There are four categories: Cool, Beautiful, Cute, Cute, and Smart.
  2. 2
    Entering a Contest: Contests can be found in the Contest Hall in Hearthome City. You can enter your Pokémon into one of the five difficulty levels: Normal, Great, Hyper, Master, and the special "None (35)" difficulty.
  3. 3
    Contest Mechanics: During a contest, you'll select moves to impress the judges and the audience. Each move has a certain appeal value and can affect the turn order. Some moves also have special effects, like increasing your Pokémon's condition or causing negative effects for opponents.
  4. 4
    Winning a Contest: The Pokémon with the highest score at the end of the contest wins. Scores are based on the appeal of moves used, the Pokémon's condition, and any bonus points awarded by the judges.
  5. 5
    Rewards: Winning contests earns you Ribbons, which are displayed on your Pokémon's summary screen. These Ribbons serve as proof of your achievements in the contest circuit.
Tips
  • Pokémon Condition: Before entering a contest, ensure your Pokémon's condition is high. You can improve condition by feeding them Poffins or using items like the vitamins.
  • Move Selection: Choose moves that match the contest category and have high appeal. Consider moves that can disrupt opponents or boost your Pokémon's condition.
  • Poffins: Baking Poffins is crucial for boosting your Pokémon's condition. Experiment with different berries to create Poffins that maximize specific conditions.
  • Ribbon Collection: Aim to win all Ribbons across all categories and difficulties for a complete collection.

Successfully winning a contest, including the "None (35)" difficulty, will award your Pokémon with a Ribbon specific to the category and difficulty level. These Ribbons are a mark of your Pokémon's performance and can be displayed on their summary page.
