The Bug-Catching Contest (Japanese: むしとりたいかい Bug-Catching Contest) is a competition held every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday in Johto's National Park. The Bug-Catching Contest was introduced in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and makes a return in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
In the games
Rules
There is no entry fee for the Bug-Catching Contest. Anyone may enter once per day, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
To compete, Trainers must catch the single best Bug-type Pokémon they can find. To do this, Trainers are given twenty Sport Balls (similar to Safari Balls; called "Park Balls" in Generation II), and they are only allowed to use a single Pokémon from their party. The rest of a Trainer's Pokémon and all of their items remain with the contest officials until the competition is over.
Any Pokémon caught will be recorded in the Pokédex, but only one Pokémon can be kept to be judged. The Pokémon that is judged may be kept after the competition.
The competition ends when all the Sport Balls are used, the Trainer blacks out, the Trainer leaves the park, or 20 minutes have passed. After that, the judging will occur, in which Trainers are scored on their skills of capturing rare and powerful Pokémon.

- 16 points if the Defense IV is odd, 0 otherwise
- 8 points if the Attack IV is odd, 0 otherwise
- 4 points if the Special IV is odd, 0 otherwise
- 1 point if the Speed IV is odd, 0 otherwise
- 1/8 of the current HP of the Pokémon, rounded down

Other factors, such as Shininess, do not affect the outcome.
Generation IV
The score earned for a given Pokémon in Generation IV is the sum of the following:
- The level of the Pokémon relative to the maximum that can be found in the contest (e.g. before the National Pokédex, the maximum value for Paras would be 17, but after the National Pokédex, this would be 34), as a percentage
- The Pokémon's IVs relative to the maximum (186), as a percentage
- The Pokémon's HP relative to its maximum, as a percentage
- A rarity factor, either 60 (Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle, Kakuna, Wurmple, Silcoon, Cascoon, or Kricketot), 80 (all Pokémon not mentioned), or 100 (Scyther or Pinsir)
Other factors, such as Shininess, do not affect the outcome.

In the anime
In The Bug Stops Here, Ash and Casey competed in the Bug-Catching Contest. During the competition, Casey caught a Weedle, and her Chikorita evolved into a Bayleef. Ash won the competition with a Beedrill, earning himself a Sun Stone. After the competition, he gave the Beedrill to Casey since she loves Pokémon with yellow and black stripes.
In the anime, the Contest can be followed from a giant screen outside of the park. It also has several other notable differences from the games.
- Only the winner is allowed to keep the Pokémon they caught.
- The winner receives a predetermined kind of evolutionary stone(e.g-Sun Stone in Ash's case),unlike the random ones obtained in the games.
- No consolation prize is available, neither are there any sort of rewards for anybody other than the champion, whereas such prizes can be earned in the games.
- The contest implements strict age-limits: only children under 16 are allowed to participate.
Trivia
- The music used during the contest is a remix of the Kanto-based games' Bicycle music.
- It is possible to catch the otherwise version-exclusive Pokémon Caterpie, Metapod, and Butterfree in Pokémon Silver and Pokémon SoulSilver, and Weedle, Kakuna and Beedrill in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon HeartGold through the Bug-Catching Contest.
- After the player obtains the National Pokédex and enters the contest on Thursdays and Saturdays, some of the other competitors may be announced as having caught a Pokémon in the Caterpie or Weedle lines, despite those Pokémon not being available to the player on those days.
- If at the end of the contest the player has a full party and their newly captured Pokémon is sent to the PC, it is referred to as "Bill's PC" (instead of "Someone's PC") even if the player has not yet met Bill.
