Normally a fan's favorite. The Battle Round is what will always come after the first round of performances. It is where Coordinators compete in Pokemon battles while continuing to show off their Pokemon's style and skill. Each battle will usually have a specified duration and the object of the battle is to decrease the opponent's points, or rather appeal. Coordinators lose points when the following occurs: their Pokemon are hit by an attack, when their Pokemon's attack fails, when the opponent's Pokemon performs a particularly appealing move, or when the opponent's Pokemon uses their Pokemon's attack to its own advantage. Of course, don't forget, that this should all be done in style for this is an important portion to judge. A battle can also end when one of the Pokemon is unable to battle, which is called "Battle Off" by the judges. In this case, the Coordinator with the remaining Pokemon is declared the winner.
