Learn how to win Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Contests with this guide. Discover strategies for each category and how to use moves effectively to avoid penalties and impress the judges.
Walkthrough
- 1When participating in a Contest, pay attention to the current appeal condition (e.g., Cool, Beauty, Cute, Smart, Tough).
- 2Choose a move that corresponds to the condition being appealed. For example, if the condition is 'Cool', select a 'Cool' type move.
- 3Successfully using a move that matches the appeal condition allows it to be used in the subsequent appeal without incurring a penalty. This means you can use the same move twice in a row without the 'miss' or 'fail' consequence that usually occurs if a move is repeated too soon.
- 4This mechanic is vital for building combos and keeping your Pokémon's condition high throughout the Contest.
Tips
- Always check the appeal condition before selecting your move.
- Prioritize moves that match the current condition to maximize your advantage.
- Be mindful of the turn order; sometimes it's better to use a different move to set up for a future turn where you can exploit this 'no penalty' rule.
- Different Pokémon have different move pools and inherent appeal types, so choose your Pokémon and moves wisely for each Contest category.
