Contest Pass: Difference between revisions

A Contest Pass (Japanese: コンテストパス Contest Pass) is a key item that allows players to participate in Pokémon Contests. It has a drawing of an award Ribbon on it.

In the games

In Generation III

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, a Contest Pass is required for entering Pokémon Contests. The item can be obtained by talking to the receptionist at the Verdanturf Town Contest Hall.

In Pokémon Emerald, a Contest Pass is not needed; instead, only a Pokéblock Case is required. The item is present in the coding, but cannot be legitimately obtained.

In Generation IV

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, all that is required to participate in Pokémon Super Contests is something formal to wear, given to the player by Johanna on entering the Contest Hall for the first time. The Contest Pass is, however, a dummied-out key item that can be hacked into the Bag, though it will have no effect.

In Generation V

Like all other items present in the coding of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Contest Pass is present in the coding of Pokémon Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, but cannot be obtained without hacking, and has no use whatsoever.

In Generation VI

In Pokémon X and Y, the Contest Pass remains as a leftover from the Generation V games and cannot be obtained without hacking, and has no use whatsoever.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a Contest Pass is again required for entering Pokémon Contests. The item can be obtained from Lisia after delivering the Devon Parts to Captain Stern in front of the the Slateport City Contest Hall.
