Ruby and Sapphire: Contests To enter a Pokemon Contest, first go to Verandturf Town (that is where the first contest you can enter is). To apply to enter the contest, go to the lady at the front desk and talk to her. She will ask ytou if you want to enter etc...say yes and choose what category you want to enter. There are 5 choices; Cool, Smart, Cute, Beauty, and Tough. Choose your Pokemon and the competition will begin.

Preliminary: In this round you will show your Pokemon to the crowd and they will decide their favorite, this will boost your points in the beggining of the final judgement. The more hearts that appear over the crowds heads the better.






Round 1:This is the main part of the competition. Choose your moves accordingly, don't choose a cute attack when in a tough competition. Also make sure to look at the attack desciptions, they can startle the Pokemon that went before you and give you a great advantage.
The next four rounds are the same as the first.



After all the rounds, the final judging goes down. If your Pokemon got people to make hearts over their heads in the begginning, then he/she will get extra points! Then the stat bar starts to go up on how you did in rounds 1-5.




A good way to get looked expectantly by the judge is to use combos, here is a list of all combos.
DIRECTIONS: To make these work, first use the bold attack (to the left) then use one of the moves on the right side.
