Training the Perfect Contest Pokémon in Every Generation - Perfect Pokémon Contest Stat Guide

[@bluesandman7566]

Another thing that was not mentioned in this video is that in ORAS, pokémon affection (which can be raised in Pokémon-Amie) increases the effect pokéblocks have on the pokémon.

[@psuedonym9999]

And it also works the other way (sort of), as if a Pokemon you're the OT of participates in a contest, they gain 20 affection.

[@PokeTrainerDark]

a cool thing is that you can make a Claydol with the moveset cosmic power ancient power secret power self-destruct or explosion. being a universal pokémon to be able to win any contest in any game

[@scottpilgrimpwns]

So not only is Claydol just a really cool pokemon, but it's a great contest star contender!

[@lindseylindsey9200]

How powerful

[@Mienshaos]

claydol is one of my favourite gen 3 mons, its very underrated

[@Subjecttochannel]

How does this win any contest? Isn't there a penalty for using the same move multiple times in a row, and unless I'm missing something none of them but the blast moves seem to have any winning potential even on normal rank

[@mikaeluhl]

Que mundo pequeno :)

[@leaffinite2001]

Pokemon really does take "you should have friends" to an extreme level

I was literally just thinking about trying to grind out all the platinum contest ribbons onto one mon... this video is a divine aid

[@Regiultima]

I'd like to give a shout out to Pachirisu over Clefairy for Amity Square. Pachirisu have the Pickup ability and can serve a double utility as they gain friendship while collecting items across your Sinnoh adventures.

[@miimiiandco]

Yet another reason why Pachirisu is the coolest.

[@stllr_]

as a longtime sonic adventure 2 runner it always gets a smile out of me to hear about what SM is up to in other communities. rock on, berry master. the stuff you found in sa2 is just as impactful now as it was then

[@baronobeefdip8075]

Thank you for mentioning this. I was gonna sub to this channel just because of the shiny ribboned Scizor, but informative SA2 content is one hell of a bonus.

[@ShadowKaiserin]

Actually, there's a Pokemon in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire that comes with contest stats other than the Cosplay Pikachu. The Castform from the Weather Institute has some beauty conditioning from the moment you receive it and it's entire moveset is beauty moves.

[@Green24152]

lolwhat

[@CocaColaVanilla]

another high quality banger, your videos never fail to make me ask "why would someone ever do this to themselves" yet i am entertained the entire time, definitely one of the best pokemon-oriented channels out there rn

[@Shaonia]

If you're like me and you're doing the Ribbon Master challenge and would like to get max contest stats on your RM, you can do Gen 3 and Gen 4 contests with high-but-not-perfect stats and maxed sheen and then transfer your RM to Gen 6 (ORAS) and feed your RM unlimited Pokeblocks to max the contest stats. ORAS does not feature sheen so you can easily max contest stats in that game. Note that BDSP has sheen again so if you don't max your contest stats in ORAS it's going to be difficult (or impossible if your sheen is already maxed) to max them later.

[@mr.mendes2211]

I don't get it. Will contest stats be transferred from ORAS to BDSP?

[@Kongumon]

@@mr.mendes2211 Pokemon keep contest stats as you transfer them up the generations, even in games that don't have contests.

[@hankis2043]

I keep finding new ways that Pokémon is an oddly complicated game, I didn’t even know that it was possible to cross breed and mutate berries

[@dee7352]

Casually explaining berry cross-pollinations is one of several moments when I realized that there’s a lot of info idek about these games, wow

[@BigRigCreates]

If I had this guide a year ago, my life would’ve been so much easier 😩

[@Begeru]

It’s insane how complex this whole ordeal is for a feature that probably 5% of players ever tried out.

[@crowqueenamps]

Perhaps if the mechanics weren't so difficult, more people would have tried it out. Especially those poor Gen 4 kids who only had Diamond/Pearl and no friends who played those games.

[@0vercrafted]

This could not have come at a better time for me. Casually browsing KZbin while preparing berry blending in Emerald for my Scyther - knowing full well that I'm probably about to waste a bunch of XD berries if I don't save scum. I shall hold off.

[@qazmko22]

This is a weird rabbit hole to fall through.. I am a grown ass man watching other grown ass men talk about Pokémon video game contests. It is interesting to see how hard Game Freak really made it for us to max out all stats.

[@thisismyaltaccount4195]

Fantastic video! The formatting and research as well as personal flare make this video modern day timeless classic! I'll definitely be coming back for my own unhinged Berry Escipades! Thanks so much for showing love to the older games! I'll never get tired of videos like these!

[@zuthalsoraniz6764]

For the poffin cooker, I wonder if you could make a jig to hold 4 DSes in perfect alignment, and also four styluses, so you can cook good poffins on your own with all four stirring in perfect synchrony

[@samuelturner6076]

It’d probably be better to do it on an emulator somehow.

[@2810Mad]

If youre gonna do this on an emulator, might as well go ahead and give yourself the poffins by using action replay codes ​@samuelturner6076

There's another video by someone else that went into everything Pokeblock related, including the weird trick that Black Pokeblocks end up being the least stressful and reliable method towards maxing out contest stats while keeping sheen in check.

[@SirToastyToes]

The video I mention at the beginning is literally about using that black Pokeblock strat

[@Astolotl]

gen 3 pokeblocks are the bane of my existence in the ribbon quest yet they are the only thing in my way moving to gen 4

[@samuelturner6076]

Welp that dashes any dreams I never had about getting an all 255 Pokémon in gen 4. Good to know it’s possible in gen 3 though.

[@SirToastyToes]

Like I said anything over about 200 is overkill, 200 and 255 in all stat score the same

[@Arvenyte]

Thank you so much for this guide. I don't know if I commented before but I took it to make my ribbon masters have perfect stats in gen 3, using ruby, sapphire, emerald, and japanese emerald along with liechi and the colosseum berries. took a fuckton of time but it was so rewarding. Now I'm on gen 4 and almost done with it, and I'm a bit afraid of poffin making, but still will go for it to make a perfect Giratina.

[@lpfan4491]

I like how theoretically, the contest stat-meta is to just cheese it as much as possible. Anything you can catch in Gen 3: Pokeblocks, because Poffins after transfer will be harder Anything you catch until Gen 6 inclusive: ORAS, because there is no sheen-limiter Anything you want to use in BDSP: May as well not bother with Pokes caught after Gen 6 besides special cases, because all that are available here are legacy Pokemon that could have been given a free max-out(sans Sheen) in ORAS already. So basically, assuming no set of games is skipped, the only annoying parts as of right now are Gen 4 Pokes that you want to use in Gen 4.

[@Wrench55154]

YESSSSS, THANK YOU

[@bruhchannel1216]

OR/AS: wait guys i can explain BD/SP: you can no sweat get perfect stats? i need my pokemon to find them and need them to cook with me D/Pl/Pe: you can do it with only one player? i need 3 others WHO ARE GODS AT CIRCLES R/S/E: you gys don't have convoluted mechanics on obtaining berries?

[@miguelito22]

Thank you for the guide! I’m trying to get all ribbons in gen 8 for my starter Infernape. But I have a question. So for the brilliant/shinning contest, I should max out the sheen of my Pokémon to 255/12 shines? It’s to help out with the visual score as much as possible right?

[@SirToastyToes]

Once you have the other five stats maxed out, get 12 stars to max out your sheen yup

Good video, but doesnt a luxury ball set the initial friendship of any caught pokemon to 200? if anything a pokemon with higher friendship initially and a friend ball(idk what its called, the one from hgss) should be better

[@croma3375]

Why not using Charap the Chatot from the in-game trade in the Sinnoh titles? It has 20 in every Contest stat with 0 sheen, basically making it the only gen IV Pokémon able to reach the max in every stat (despite its nature).

[@ARDIZsq]

Can't speak on RSE, or DPPt, but for BDSP, just use the extremely simple poffin recipes that Austin John Plays made a video on. I used those plus 1-2 extra poffins to max my Gardevoir's beauty (disliked flavor) plus some burnt poffins to max sheen, and it was pretty painless overall. The recipes use ONLY berries found in the overworld berry patches, so it's extremely accessible post-game, and the burnt poffins can just be made with any berries bought from the Berry Master's wife. Please, save yourself the horror and time sink that is growing berries or doing endless Grand Underground shenanigans for the Ramanas Park slates.
