Raoul Contesta debuted in a non-speaking appearance in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. At the start of the {{ci|Rustboro}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, the [[Contest announcer|announcer]] introduced him as the Director of the Contest Committee. During the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], he was less than pleased to see [[Jessie|Mademoiselle Jessica]] failing to show off the [[Move|attacks]] of her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. As a result, he gave her a zero for her performance. | Raoul Contesta debuted in a non-speaking appearance in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''.

In ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', Mr. Contesta was unimpressed by [[May's Skitty]]'s performance in the main Appeals Round of the Hoenn Grand Festival. He commented that, by repeatedly using {{m|Assist}}, May was displaying the skills of {{cat|May's Pokémon|her other Pokémon}} rather than Skitty's talents. Despite that, the score he and the other judges gave May was enough to place her among the 32 Coordinators moving on to the [[Contest Battle]]s. | In ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', Mr. Contesta was unimpressed by [[May's Skitty]]'s performance in the main Appeals Round of the Hoenn Grand Festival.

Ever since the [[Rustboro City]] [[Pokémon Contest]], Raoul Contesta has been seen judging every Pokémon Contest and related competitions, including the [[Grand Festival]] tournaments of [[Hoenn]], [[Kanto]], and [[Sinnoh]], as well as the {{pkmn|world}}wide [[Wallace Cup]]. He is the Chief of the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]] and the man behind the Pokémon Contests. As the Head Judge, Mr. Contesta is known to be fair but firm. He is usually the first one to comment on the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and the one who offers advice to the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s. He is also the one who presents the winning Coordinator with the prize [[Ribbon]]. | Ever since the [[Rustboro City]] [[Pokémon Contest]], Raoul Contesta has been seen judging every Pokémon Contest and related competitions, including the [[Grand Festival]] tournaments of [[Hoenn]], [[Kanto]], and [[Sinnoh]], as well as the {{pkmn|world}}wide [[Wallace Cup]].
