* Pachirisu knows the attack Spark
* Contests have returned to the game and are now called Super Contests. They are done in 3 rounds and still have the usual aspect from Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald:
* The first round of Contests is where you dress your Pokémon up using the Touch Pen and certain items that you have access to such as crowns. This is the Visual Judgement category
* The second round is called the Dance Judgement category. Your Pokémon joins in a dance routine and you get rated based on rhythm and co-ordination. It is unknown how this will physically work as of yet
* The final round is the same as last time, the Performence Judgement category. You use your Pokémon's attacks to create dazzling appeals and try to Jam the other participants
