Speaking of contests, is anyone having trouble with the Master Rank? My Milotic has MAX Beauty, but she gets fourth place in the contests >_>
Any tips?
Make sure you have a Blue Scarf. That'll get you a boost. In addition, make sure you have a good nature, namely Modest/Quiet/Rash/Mild.
During the first round, be sure to use accessories that fit the theme. If you can pause the game and tell me the theme, I can give you some accessories to use.
During the dance portion, Make sure you follow the lead Pokemon's dance exactly. This takes practice. When it's your turn, be sure to use all 4 castanets. Leave some long gaps between hits, and hit them on the dark lines, both of which might throw the others off. Finally, make sure to end on a blue castanet. This'll make your Pokemon briefly cover the pink score, which might throw them off if you made a move at the very beginning of the blue score.
Finally, be sure to make a good performance. Choose moves that benefit the contest, try to get the voltage maxed out, etc. etc.
Hope it helps. ^_^
