A Contest Combination is a strategy employed in a Pokemon Contest and Pokemon Super Contest. Much like the Combat Combinations, the Contest Combos are only preformed when the techniques are used back-to-back. Using a correct Combination of moves successfully will increase damage inflicted in Combat and voltage points in Contest.

Misconceptions About Combinations
A combination that is interrupted cannot be resumed after the First Turn has been completed. On the other hand, if the First Turn move is interrupted, it may be used again, but not as effectively (using the same move twice in a row receives scorn from the Judge). Even if the move was repeated, a combination can be made.
Certain Follow Up moves are also the First Turn move for a different combination. A Combination of three such as the example below will NOT work in a Contest:
The reason why is because a Combo is activated from the First Turn move: when it attracts special attention from the Judge. The Judge always recognizes a First Turn move, and awards the immediate Follow Up move.
Basically, it is impossible to follow up a Follow Up move.
It is certainly possible, though, to have two combinations, back to back such as the example below:
Calm Mind, Confusion, and Kinesis are all potential Start Up moves, but, in this example, Confusion is used as a Follow Up turn, along with Future Sight. Calm Mind would attract the Judge's attention, and then Confusion would earn extra voltage points. Then, Kinesis would attract the Judge's attention and Future Sight would earn extra voltage points.
In this sense, due to a restriction of the number of rounds in the Appeals/ Acting Competition, it is impossible to successfully use more than two Combinations per Contest.
