Learn how to get an extra +2 bonus in Pokémon Platinum Contests by being the last to appeal. This guide explains the mechanic and how to utilize it for higher scores.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    During a Contest battle, Trainers take turns using moves and appealing.
  2. 2
    The order of appeal is determined by the Pokémon's condition and other factors, but it can change throughout the battle.
  3. 3
    To gain the bonus, you must be the final Trainer to choose the 'Appeal' option in a given round.
  4. 4
    Successfully appealing last will award you an extra +2 to your score for that round.
Tips
  • Pay attention to the appeal order each round. Sometimes, deliberately choosing a less optimal move can position you to appeal last.
  • Consider the moves your opponents are likely to use. If they are likely to use 'Jamming' moves, appealing last might be safer.
  • This bonus is particularly useful in the 'Super' and 'Hyper' rank Contests where scores are tighter.
