{{conditions}}
A {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s '''condition''' (Japanese: '''コンディション''' ''condition'') is made up of stats that exist for use in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, {{pkmn|Contest|Contest Spectaculars}}, and [[Super Contest Show]]s. There are five different condition stats: {{OBP|Cool|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Clever|condition}}ness, and {{OBP|Tough|condition}}ness. They range from 0 to 255.

For each of these five conditions, there are individual contest categories where Pokémon are judged by how developed they are in the relevant stat. In order to improve a condition stat, Pokémon can be given [[Pokéblock]]s and [[Poffin]]s made from {{Berries}}. A Pokémon's condition cannot be decreased or reset, and is retained even when a Pokémon is [[trade]]d or [[transfer]]red to a game where it has no effect.

==Characteristics==
A Pokémon with an enhanced condition stat will score higher when competing in a contest with the same title as that condition. A Pokémon's condition will be judged in the following rounds:

* In the {{DL|Pokémon Contest|primary judging}} of a [[Pokémon Contest]]
* In the [[Visual Competition]] of a [[Pokémon Super Contest]]
* In the Introduction Round of a [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]]
* In the Visual Evaluation of a [[Super Contest Show]]

This can also be assisted with the use of [[Scarf|scarves]]. A Pokémon holding a scarf corresponding to the category of the contest entered will gain bonus points in the final score.

* [[Red Scarf]] - Boosts the {{OBP|Cool|condition}}ness of the Pokémon holding it
* [[Blue Scarf]] - Boosts the {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}} of the Pokémon holding it
* [[Pink Scarf]] - Boosts the {{OBP|Cute|condition}}ness of the Pokémon holding it
* [[Green Scarf]] - Boosts the {{OBP|Clever|condition}}ness of the Pokémon holding it
* [[Yellow Scarf]] - Boosts the {{OBP|Tough|condition}}ness of the Pokémon holding it

===Moves===
In [[Generation III]], {{gen|IV}}, and {{gen|VI}}, every [[move]] that a Pokémon can learn is associated with one of the five conditions. Depending on the category of the contest, moves of a particular category will affect the {{DL|Appeal|audience}}'s excitement in Contests and Contest Spectaculars and the {{FB|Contest|Judge}}s' Voltage in Super Contests.

In [[Generation VIII]], moves are no longer divided by condition.

===Berries===
Each [[Berry]] [[flavor]] (in Generation III, IV, and VIII) and [[Berry color|color]] (in Generation VI) represents a specific condition stat, as shown below.

|}

===Natures===
In Generation III, IV, and VIII, a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[Nature]] determines its favorite flavor and its disliked flavor. This affects how much its condition will be increased when it is fed a [[Pokéblock]] or [[Poffin]] with those flavors, in a similar fashion to its effect on battle [[stat]]s.

In Generation VI, a Pokémon's Nature has no effect on how much a Pokéblock will increase a Pokémon's condition.

==Condition-dependent Evolution==
:''See also: {{p|Feebas}} and {{p|Milotic}}''
If {{p|Feebas}}'s {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}} condition is 170 points or more, it will evolve into {{p|Milotic}} when it is [[Level|leveled up]]. Prior to the introduction of the [[Prism Scale]] in [[Generation V]], this was the only way to evolve Feebas; however, even in games that include the Prism Scale, Feebas can evolve by level up if its Beauty condition is high enough.

==Checking condition==
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a Pokémon's condition can be viewed in the [[PokéNav]]. In {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl|s}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl}}, and {{pkmn|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}, it is shown on the Pokémon's [[summary]] screen.

==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Contest conditions are referenced by an [[Non-player character|NPC]] in [[Join Avenue]] who asks about a "[[Appeal|charming feature]]". However, Smartness is translated as {{OBP|Clever|condition}}ness in English, which would only be used for the Contest condition starting in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
