Hoenn Grand Festival
The Hoenn Grand Festival is an anime-exclusive event held in Slateport City, and is the Pokémon Contests' analog to the Pokémon League. All Pokémon Coordinators who earn five ribbons are eligible to enter. Vivian is the MC of the Hoenn Grand Festival.
The winner of the Hoenn Grand Festival gets the Ribbon Cup as their prize. The competition started in Hi Ho Silver Wind! and ended in Rhapsody in Drew .
Competition
Rounds
Each round is judged by a panel of five individuals. They include Contesta, Sukizo and three Nurse Joys from the Hoenn region.
Appeals
Just like ordinary contests, the first round is the appeals stage. Coordinators have their Pokémon perform various moves in order to impress the judges. The 32 top scoring coordinators from this round move on to the next stage.
Double-battle rounds
The next rounds show how skilled coordinators and their Pokémon are when put into battle. Whoever loses is out of the tournament, and the winner keeps going until he or she gets to the final round. The winner of the fifth and final round is then declared the winner of the Hoenn Grand Festival.
