Learn how to appeal last in Pokémon Platinum Contests. This guide provides tips and strategies to ensure your Pokémon makes the final appeal, maximizing your chances of victory.
Walkthrough
- 1Understand Appeal Order: The order in which Pokémon appeal is determined by their current Condition and the specific Contest category. Generally, Pokémon with lower Condition (or those that have used up their appeals) will appeal earlier.
- 2Strategic Condition Management: To appeal last, you want your Pokémon's Condition to be as low as possible by the end of the Contest, but not so low that it can't appeal at all. This means carefully choosing moves that reduce Condition or have less impact on the audience's excitement.
- 3Utilize Specific Moves: Some moves, when used at the right time, can either boost your Condition significantly (making you appeal later) or, conversely, reduce your Condition while still earning points. Moves that make the audience excited can also delay your appeal.
- 4Monitor Opponents: Pay attention to what your opponents are doing. If they are consistently appealing early, you have more room to maneuver. If they are also trying to appeal last, it becomes a strategic battle of Condition management.
- 5The Final Turn: The goal is to have your Pokémon's Condition be the lowest among all active Pokémon on the final turn, ensuring you are the last to appeal. This often means using a move that significantly lowers your Condition or has a high appeal value but a significant drawback.
Tips
- Focus on moves that have a high appeal but also reduce your Condition or make the audience fall asleep. These are key to delaying your appeal.
- Consider using moves that increase the excitement of the crowd; this can sometimes push your appeal order back.
- If your Pokémon has a very high Condition, you might need to use moves that reduce it earlier in the Contest to set up for a late appeal.
- Practice different move combinations and observe how they affect your appeal order.
- The specific category (Cool, Beauty, Cute, Smart, Tough) will influence which moves are most effective.
