Following on from Pokémon Contests first introduced within Ruby & Sapphire, the logical evolution of contests has come and in Unova is labelled as a Pokémon Musical. In a city in Unova, you'll find a Music Hall where Pokémon Musicals take place. The Musicals, unlike Contests, do not feature any of the battling aspects shown within Pokémon Contests. Instead, they just enhance the origina appeals process of the Super Contests and take it to a new level.

Dress for Success

The first part of the Pokémon Musicals involve you dressing up your Pokémon. This is done through obtaining items similar to accessories and putting them in the Goods Case item. Then, when you start your Pokémon Musical campaign, you'll be able to select from these different costumes and props in order to kit out your Pokémon to match the premise and feel of the song.

There are four different categories to the Pokémon Musicals, each with a different image for you to dress your Pokémon up in.

Performance

After you are done dressing your Pokémon for the performance, it's time to get out there and play the music. If you manage to please the audience, they'll also throw items for you to keep.

There are several preset bits of music within the game. However, in addition to that, you can download new pieces of music from the Pokémon Global Link.

While performing, if you have attached accessories to your Pokémon's hands, you'll be able to appeal using these items in order to try and gain the audience's interest. You can only do this once per item so it's best to use this strategically. Unfortunately, you have limited control of the Musical outside of this so you need to make sure that you have dressed correctly and are using the best items.

Accessories

The whole key to the Pokémon Musicals is the dressing up. Each item can only work for one specific theme of Musical, which you have the ability to select. To gain more accessories, you can obtain them from a man in Opelucid City who will give you five different items each day. You'll also receive some after participating in a musical and you'll also get one on your birthday. These items can only be attached to certain areas of the Pokémon in the appeal, with some allowing to be placed in two. Below is a list of all the accessories
