* '''Description ID''' determines what message is displayed in a Pokémon's SUMMARY when you look at the move's Contest data (eg. "A highly appealing move").

It is also used to index the contest data structure and determine this move's appeal and jam values (see [[Contest data structure in Generation III]]).

Format

Every move in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald has a 8-byte data structure associated with it which contains information about its use in Contests. Contests do not feature in FireRed or LeafGreen, so this data is not included.

Contest Move Data
Move Effect 1 byte
Contest Type 1 byte
Combo Identifier 1 byte
Combos 4 bytes
Padding 1 byte
  • Move Effect indexes the Contest data structure and determines this move's appeal and jam values (see Contest data structure), and also indexes a message array elsewhere that determines what message is displayed in a Pokémon's SUMMARY when the player views the move's Contest data (e.g. "A highly appealing move").
  • Contest Type indicates the type of Contest this move should be used in. See the table below for a list of possible values and their meaning.

  • Combo Identifier: An identifier used in the next 3 bytes for the purposes of identifying the first move in a Contest combination.
  • Combos: This is a list of up to four combo identifiers, identifying Contest combinations for which it may be used as the second move.
  • Padding consists of a single byte, set to 0x00, that aligns the structure on 4-bytes boundaries.
