Due to there being so many entrants to the Grand Festival, the appeal stage was divided up onto three stages; the Red Stage, the Green Stage, and the Blue Stage. Each coordinator performed on one of the stages for two of the judges. Each judging team consisting of a Nurse Joy alongside Mr. Contesta (Blue Stage), Mr. Sukizo (Green Stage), or Fantina (Red Stage). The stages can be modified for each coordinator (for instance, when Zoey appealed with her {{p|Gastrodon}} and {{p|Lumineon}} the stage transformed into a pool which was perfect for the two {{type2|Water}} Pokémon to use). Unlike the other Grand Festivals, Sinnoh's Grand Festival only has one appeal round instead of two. Once everyone had appealed, the Top 32 coordinators progressed to the second round.

The setting for the competition

The Sinnoh Grand Festival (Japanese: シンオウグランドフェスティバル Sinnoh Grand Festival) is an anime-exclusive event during the Diamond & Pearl series. All Pokémon Coordinators who earn five Contest Ribbons from the Sinnoh region are eligible to enter.

In A Stand-Up Sit-Down!, Zoey mentioned that the Sinnoh Grand Festival follows the Double Performance rule. In Fighting Ire with Fire!, Marian announced that the competition would be held at Lake Valor.

Competition

In the anime, the Sinnoh Grand Festival began in Last Call — First Round! and ended in A Grand Fight for Winning!. Like all Sinnoh Pokémon Contests, Marian was the announcer. During the Grand Festival that Dawn participated in, 108 Coordinators participated. For the tournament, she and her rivals wore new costumes.

Instead of the usual three judges, the Sinnoh Grand Festival has six judges in attendance: Raoul Contesta, Mr. Sukizo, Lilycove City's Nurse Joy, her sisters from Pastoria City and Jubilife City, and special guest judge Fantina. The Nurse Joys from Pastoria and Jubilife only judge the Appeal Round.

The winner of the competition receives the Ribbon Cup as their prize and becomes Top Coordinator.

Rounds

Unlike the other Grand Festivals, Sinnoh Grand Festival only has one appeals round instead of two. The competition is held under the Double Performance rule, which means that Coordinators must use two Pokémon in all rounds.

Appeals

The appeal stage

Due to the number of participants, the appeal stage of the Sinnoh Grand Festival is divided up onto three stages; the Red Stage, the Green Stage, and the Blue Stage. The Red Stage is judged by Fantina and the Nurse Joy from Jubilife City, while Mr. Sukizo and the Nurse Joy from Pastoria City judge the Green Stage. The Blue Stage is judged by Mr. Contesta and the Nurse Joy from Lilycove City. The stages can be modified for each Coordinator (for instance, when Zoey appealed with her Gastrodon and Lumineon, the stage opened up to reveal a pool for the two Water-type Pokémon to use). Each Coordinator performs on one of the three stages. Once all participants appeal, the 32 top scoring Coordinators progress to the second round.

Battles

There is one day of rest between the first and second rounds. The second round marks the beginning of the Grand Festival's battle rounds with some changes to the layout. The number of Coordinators in the second round is reduced to 32 and the battles were conducted on a single stage instead of a trio of stages. Also, the amount of judges is reduced from six to four. All Coordinators were matched-up randomly by computer up to the semi-finals. Coordinators who run out of points, have their Pokémon knocked out or have the least amount of points once the time runs out are eliminated from the Grand Festival.
