Learn how to use the Contest Appeal in Pokémon Platinum to your advantage, ensuring you can use it again in the next appeal without penalty.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When participating in a Pokémon Contest, you have the option to use an Appeal.
  2. 2
    Using an Appeal allows your Pokémon to perform a special move or action that can impress the judges and other Pokémon.
  3. 3
    The key benefit of the Appeal is that when used, it can be used again in the subsequent appeal round without incurring any penalty. This means you can strategically use your Appeal to maintain momentum or recover from a low score.
Tips
  • Timing is crucial: Decide when to use your Appeal for maximum impact. Using it when your Pokémon's condition is high or when you need to boost your score significantly can be very effective.
  • Consider the Contest condition: Different Appeals work better in different Contest conditions (e.g., Cool, Beauty, Cute, Smart, Tough). Choose an Appeal that matches the current condition.
  • Save your Appeal for a critical moment: While it can be used without penalty in the next round, saving it for a moment when it can swing the results in your favor is a good strategy.
  • Pay attention to the judge's reactions: The judges' comments can give you clues about which Appeals are currently favored or how your Pokémon is performing.
