The Tough condition, also called Toughness (Japanese: たくましさ Hardiness), is one of the five different Contest conditions.

Characteristics

A Pokémon will have its Tough condition raised when fed Pokéblocks or Poffins made with Berries that have a sour flavor. Pokémon with Natures that boost Defense—Bold, Relaxed, Impish, and Lax—get the most benefit from sour-tasting Berries, as a result, they are the easiest to raise for a Tough Contest.

When competing in the Tough category, a Pokémon with an enhanced Toughness will score higher in the primary judging of a Pokémon Contest and the Visual Competition of a Pokémon Super Contest. This can also be assisted with the use of the Yellow Scarf. Most of the moves that display Toughness are Normal, Rock, Fighting, and Ground, but moves from other types may be Tough as well.

During a Tough Contest, the audience will react as follows:

Move performed	Audience reaction
Cool move	Indifference
Beauty move	Discontent
Cute move	Discontent
Smart move	Indifference
Tough move	Excitement

Awards

At the end of a Tough Contest, the winning Pokémon will receive a Contest Ribbon. Additionally, in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Coordinators are awarded special Accessories the first time they win the Contest. Different Ribbons and Accessories are awarded for winning in each of the four ranks.
