Sheen (Japanese: けづや fur sheen) is a property of a Pokémon in the Generation III and IV core series games. It affects the score a Pokémon receives in the primary judging of a Pokémon Contest or the Visual Competition in a Pokémon Super Contest and is displayed on the same screen as a Pokémon's condition.

When a Pokémon eats a Pokéblock or Poffin, that food item's feel or smoothness is added to the consumer's sheen, up to a maximum of 255. A Pokémon with 255 sheen cannot eat any more Pokéblocks or Poffins in the Generation III and IV games. Therefore, a Pokémon can be fed more Pokéblocks or Poffins if they have low smoothness.

Although the sheen value remains in the internal Pokémon data structures from Generation V onward, it has no effect. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Pokéblocks neither affect nor are affected by sheen.

Trivia

  • Sheen was not named in-game until Generation IV, although its Japanese name is present in debug text in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
