A Pokémon's condition (Japanese: コンディション condition) is made up of stats that exist for use in Pokémon Contests, Super Contests, and Contest Spectaculars. There are five different condition stats; Coolness, Beauty, Cuteness, Cleverness, and Toughness.

For each of these five conditions, there are individual contest categories where Pokémon are judged by how developed they are in the relevant stat. In order to improve a condition stat, Pokémon can be given Pokéblocks and Poffins made from Berries.

Characteristics

A Pokémon with an enhanced condition stat will score higher when competing in a contest with the same title as that condition. A Pokémon's condition will be judged in the following rounds:

This can also be assisted with the use of scarves. A Pokémon holding a scarf corresponding to the category of the contest entered will gain bonus points in the final score.

Every move that a Pokémon can learn is associated with one of the five conditions, and the audience reaction to a move's condition influences the excitement in the hall, as shown below.

Toughness File:ToughIC.gif File:CoolIC.gif and File:SmartIC.gif File:BeautyIC.gif and File:CuteIC.gif


The audience reaction affects the amount of points an appeal earns. If a move excites the audience, the Pokémon will gain one extra point, but if a move bores the audience, the Pokémon will lose one of its points. The audience indifference to a move will not affect the excitement in the hall nor the Pokémon's score.

Checking condition

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, a Pokémon's condition is viewable from the PokéNav. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, as well as in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, condition stats are shown in the Pokémon's Summary screen.

Feebas's evolution

See also: Feebas and Milotic

Prior to the introduction of the Prism Scale in Generation V, Feebas's evolution was entirely based on its Beauty condition. A Feebas's Beauty stat, when raised to 170 points or more, would cause it to evolve into a Milotic when it was next leveled up.

Despite the introduction of the Prism Scale, beautiful Feebas transferred from games where conditions can be raised to games where they cannot will still evolve into Milotic upon leveling up, because conditions are still present in the code of these games.

Berries

Each Berry flavor and color represent a specific condition stat, as shown below.

Conditions

Coolness Spicy Red Attack
Beauty Dry Blue Special Attack
Cuteness Sweet Pink Speed
Cleverness Bitter Green Special Defense

In a similar fashion to its effect on battle stats, a Pokémon's Nature has an effect on the ability to raise a specific condition stat, as shown below.
