It has been suggested that this article be moved to Appeal combo talk page
The subject of this article has no official name.
A Contest combination is a pairing of two moves out of a specific set that form a specially recognized combination when used one after another in Pokémon Contests , granting the user additional Appeal Points.
Several of these combinations were actually introduced in Generation II , before Contests existed in the games, as "combination attacks" that offered beneficial bonuses when used one after another in battle , such as Defense Curl being followed by Rollout .
Many of these moves can follow up one move to form a combination, as well as be followed up by another move to form a different combination. Stacking combinations, however, is not allowed; only one combination can occur at a time. If a move is used as a follow-up for one combination, it cannot act as the setup for another combination that same turn.
Many move combinations, particularly those in Generation VI, reflect combinations one might use in a battle to make certain moves more effective. For example, Toxic followed up by Hex form a combination since Toxic inflicts Bad Poison, while Hex inflicts double damage to any Pokémon with a major status condition.
In the games Pokémon Contests When any of the combinations below is used, the second move of that combination will receive double the base Appeal Points that it would have earned otherwise. Extra hearts from increased condition or position bonuses are not affected. If a Pokémon that has used the first move of a Contest combination is dazzled by another that uses Flash , Shadow Ball , or Smokescreen after it, the combination is cancelled.
