Contest Opponents

The following Pokémon are used in Pokémon Contests as potential opponents. Most of them can be found in more than one Contest category, and they all have different stats for each Contest category, although they keep the same moves in every category. The stat scores shown in the below tables indicate which Contest categories they can participate in.

Some Trainers use slightly different Pokémon in Emerald than in Ruby and Sapphire, and every Contest rank features a small selection of Trainers that only appear in Emerald, once the player has received the National Pokédex. Use the radio buttons above to switch between the Ruby & Sapphire opponents and the Emerald opponents.

Stat Mechanics

Every opposing Pokémon has a stat in each of the five Contest categories (Cool, Beauty, Cute, Smart, Tough). The stat is used as part of the calculation to determine what the audience reaction to the Pokémon is in the first stage of the contest. Each rank has different thresholds for the audience reactions; these are given above the tables below. This reaction is part of the final score each Pokémon receives at the end of the Contest.

The numbers used in the tables below are not the exact values calculated by the game. These values have been 'converted' to the values of hearts that the player can get in the second round of contest judging, which may make them a little easier to comprehend.

The highest score that any Pokémon could have in a Contest category is 31.85. The highest score that any enemy Pokémon has is 23.85 (WOBET the Wobbuffet in Smart and Tough Master Rank contests).

The thresholds for each audience reaction are as follows:
