The Tough condition, also called Toughness (Japanese: たくましさ Hardiness), is one of the five different Contest conditions.
Characteristics
A Pokémon will have its Tough condition raised when fed Pokéblocks or Poffins made with sour-tasting, yellow-colored Berries. Pokémon with Natures that boost Defense—Bold, Relaxed, Impish, and Lax—get the most benefit from Berries that have a sour flavor, as a result, they are the easiest to raise for a Toughness Contest.
When competing in the Tough category, a Pokémon with an enhanced Toughness will score higher in the primary judging of a Pokémon Contest, the Visual Competition of a Pokémon Super Contest, and the Introduction Round of a Pokémon Contest Spectacular. This can also be assisted with the use of the Yellow Scarf. Most of the moves that display Toughness are Normal, Rock, Fighting, and Ground, but moves from other types may be Tough as well.
During a Toughness Contest, the audience will react as follows:
| Move performed | Audience reaction |
|---|---|
| Cool move | Indifference |
| Beautiful move | Discontent |
| Cute move | Discontent |
| Clever move | Indifference |
| Tough move | Excitement |
Awards
At the end of a Toughness Contest, the winning Pokémon will receive a Contest Ribbon. Additionally, in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Coordinators are awarded special Accessories the first time they win the Contest. Different Ribbons and Accessories are awarded for winning in each of the four ranks.
