From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
The Cute Contest is one of five different Pokémon Contest categories, the other four being Beauty, Smart, Cool and Tough. Pokémon that are fed Sweet Pokéblocks or Poffin will have an enhanced Cute condition; this can be assisted with the Pink Scarf. Most Cute moves are Normal, Psychic, and Template:Type2s, but many other types of moves are Cute as well. Cute moves often involve moves that Pokémon learn early in their movesets and/or are not effective in battle, such as Tail Whip, Assist, Water Gun and Growl. During a Cute Contest, the following moves will excite the crowd:
- Beauty Contest - Average
- Smart Contest - Average
- Cool Contest - Poor
- Tough Contest - Poor
- Cute Contest - High
The cuteness condition is raised by Poffin or Pokéblocks made with sweet-flavored berries. Pokémon with natures that boost speed - Timid, Hasty, Jolly, and Naïve - get the most benefit from sweet berries, so they will be the easiest to raise for a cuteness contest.
