Jamming is a term used in Pokémon Contests. It refers to when an appeal can lower the appeal points of the other Pokémon in the contest by the number of black stars represented above the number of appeal points the move makes. Most of these moves are status moves. If not executed correctly, for example a move that affects all Pokémon after the user is played last, it only says that the move messed up, and it still gains appeal points and any other extra. On the other hand, if the move backfires on the user, it causes them to lose appeal points.
