Your Contest Pokemon

Tenacious Nel

Long live the D!
Hey, I've recently gotten REALLY into the Contest aspect of the having after watching my first jap episode of Pocket Monsters (Haruka vs Shuu in some contest). So, I figured we could have a thread to discuss our Contest Pokemon and so forth. This is what I have so far:

Milotic
Personality: Modest
Move Set:
Surf
Recover
Safeguard
Blizzard
Ribbons: Beauty Normal, Beauty Super, Beauty Hyper, Beauty Master, Cute Normal, Effort, Artist


I'm currently working on a Bulbasaur for Cool Contests, Squirtle for Beauty, and Eevee for Cute. Anyone have some suggestions for move sets?

I wanted Shaymin! :(
Off-topic: Your first episode was the Slateport contest? :laughs: Sorry, I know you're probably new to the franchise or something, but this is just amazing that you haven't seen the old Pokemon episodes. There were three hundred episodes before Haruka showed up. :)

On-topic: On one cart(which I foolishly corrupted with a bad egg), I have a Crobat winning the Smart contest, a Smeargle winning the Cute contest, and a Vileplume winning the Cool Contest.

Well, I've watched the dub for quite some time, though I've fallen off from time to time. But I tend to enjoy my anime in jap better than all dubbed up, so I DLed some random ep and it happened to be the Haruka Shuu match, which BTW, Combusken pwned in.

But, staying on topic, what was the Vileplumes move set, if you remember?

Hm, currently my contest pokemon in Sapphire are:

Takashi (Blaziken)
Nature: Naughty
Moveset:
- Slash (Cool attack)
- Aerial Ace (Cool attack)
- Blaze Kick (Beauty attack)
- Double Kick (Cool attack)
Contest: Cool
Ribbons: 5 (I have no idea what ones ^^'')

Deoxys
Nature: Brave
Moveset:
- Pursuit (Smart attack)
- Psychic (Smart attack)
- Psycho Boost (Smart attack)
- Cosmic Power (Cool Attack)
Contest: Smart
Ribbons: 1 (Smart Normal)

I'm probably gonna use my Mighteyna for Tough contests and either my Wailmer or Vulpix for Beauty contests. I just need to get some pokéblocks to up those stats.

Off topic- My first episode ever was when Jessie caught a Shellder. I just remember seeing the Slowbro and I thought that the thing on its tail was a Pokemon biting it (I didn't know they combined). I'm not sure if that was in Kanto or the Orange Islands, but where ever it was, it was pretty late in the series.
On topic- My contest Pokemon were Beautifly (Smart), Pikachu (Cool), Swampert and Registeel (Tough), Swampert and Slaking (Cute), and Milotic (Beauty). All I can remember is Swampert having a Serious nature and Beautifly having the combo of Harden and Tackle or something. Pikachu also had Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, and Shock Wave I believe.

I haven't done the Smart contests yet, but my Pokemon have won the other four in Master Rank and got their portraits.

Beauty: Cayusuyr the Vaporeon with the Dive/Surf combo.
Cool: Fai-Miroke the Sneasel with a combination of Quick Attack, Agility and Aerial Ace.
Cute: Jakliona the Rayquaza with the Rest/Snore combo. Well worth the Battle Points to see a Rayquaza be classed as cute AND be called "pretty". *cackles*
Tough: Lin-Jira the Butterfree using the Harden/Tackle combination.

Behold my lovely Castform, winner of both Beauty and Tough Contests, (thanks to a large heap of Kelpsy Berries), and the rest of my current Contest team.

Nimbus the Castform
Nature: Relaxed
Ribbons: Beauty (all), Tough (all), Super Model (1)
Moveset: Sunny Day, Fire Blast, Hail, Powder Snow

Sparky the Manectric
Nature: Mild
Ribbons: Cool (all), Smart (3), Super Model (1), Elite Four Champion (1)
Moveset: Thunder Bolt, Thunder, Quick Attack, Thunder Wave

Honey the Gloom (Smart Contest trainee)
Nature: Careful
Ribbons: Smart (2)
Moveset: Poison Powder, Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, Sweet Scent

Rocky the Regirock
Nature: Hardy
Ribbons: Tough (all), Super Model (1)
Moveset: Rock Throw, Anceint Power, Curse, Super Power

Anyone looking for an amazing Beauty Pokemon, try Castform with the moveset I've given it. Depending on what Pokeblocks you give it, it can win just about any contest with those combos. I managed to have it sweep through both Beauty and Tough by maxing out both Stats. I'm still looking for a Cute Pokemon to round it off, though.

I use my shiny Mawile in the Cool contest.

Trickster
Item:Red Scarf
Nature:Lonely
Ribbons:Cool (all), E4 Champion (1)
Moveset:Flamethrowr, Fire Blast, Sunny Day, Hyper Beam

Basic strategy. Sunny Day + Flamethrower/Fire Blast for the combo, Hyper Beam on the last appeal.

I know, the moveset is more fitting for a Beauty Contest, but Lonely natured Pokemon like spicy Pokeblocks, which raise the coolness. Despite the Beauty moves, she still performs well.

I've got a secret combo for the beauty contest, never failed me once.

Combusken/Blaziken with nature supporting beauty
Bulk Up
Sunny Day
Overheat
(Doesn't matter you only need the first 3)

Ok here's what you do. Use bulk up three times in a row (yes I am aware you lose points for using the same move consecutively but this actually helps). You usually stay in last place and thus cannot be startled. Furthermore, bulk up raises condition which also helps prevent nervousness. On the 4th turn use Sunny Day, then on the 5th use overheat. Sunny Day will get you anywhere from 4 to 8 or 9 points I think, and overheat will get you 16 (6 original, plus 3 for your raised condition, 6 more because it's a combo, and 1 extra since it's a beauty move used in a beauty contest). This is almost always enough to bring you to first place. The only way this might fail is if your pokemon is unnerved, but with Bulk Up's support this is rare.

Seems that a lot of people use Milotic for Beauty contests. Yay for being original? xD; *pats her Vaporeon*
