Shining/Brilliant Contest Master Rank Super Contest - Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

I always got a bad Visual Evaluation even though my pokemon's stats are maxed out and the poke ball has 20 stickers, so I won after several failed attempts.

[@yohane03]

That brilliant master rank is harder than cynthia.

[@johnmatthewsantiago6890]

Do the remach then!

[@ZeeGee__]

In order to get a good grade in the visual aspect, you actually have to rematch Cynthia at her hardest multiple times. After your second rematch she will give you only one of the only stickers that provide a buff for this contest.

@@ZeeGee__ good tip, didn't know this,

[@victoriakeeneofficial]

@@ZeeGee__I’m actually close to this and I’m nearly done, I’ve put in a lot of hard work, and I’m so close, I must be crazy haha, but I’ll have this ribbon soon ! Nothing worth having comes easy!!!! I can’t wait, I’m so close and we are gonna rock it, me and chimchar!!!!

[@AdamDawson3]

I have won the Twinkling Star Ribbon with Empoleon & Staraptor both had awful Contest stats but finally got all the Contest Ribbons for both Pokemon.

Nice job! I have been stuck on this stupid thing for a week. 😖

[@SammKrown]

Thank you!

[@renatoduquetm]

Could you please provide a list with the stickers in that Ball Capsule? Thank you very much!

[@ZeeGee__]

There's only a few stickers that help with this contest, the only one I remember how to get is by rematching Cynthia at her hardest multiple times. She'll start giving you one at a time after the second rematch.

[@shadowtyrant1272]

I still can't figure out how you get such a high visual score, even with the same stickers, scarf, and contest stats I can't even get close to that visual rating.
Edit: Turns out sheen is actually very important. My Gardevoir that I had sent up from ORAS had max stats but 0 sheen as you got 0 sheen in ORAS but once capping sheen this was actually very easy.

[@nsiderultimaseth]

Wow that's good to know! No one ever told me that before. Guess I gotta get back to Poffin baking.

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

I’m having a tough time getting through the Coolness Master Rank with my Delcatty, Purrsephone, who I have Contest stats and sheen maxed out on, she has a Brave Nature, and she’s holding the Red Scarf. The dance is what I’m struggling with. Any tips for me to help get my timing correct?

[@alephzerogaming]

Just practice, I didn't miss but it took me 2 day of trying over and over

[@alephzerogaming]

Also, try to feel the rhythm

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

@@alephzerogaming But the Switch doesn’t vibrate when you hit the notes. That would be a big help.

[@alephzerogaming]

@@cassandraspoelhof3752 gotta feel the music

[@luisvelasco4366]

My style visual is low, I use D sticker for the dice characteristics but it didn’t work, what can you recomend me?

[@GalacticEnigma]

Max out sheen and get champion stickers from beating Cynthia. Even if stats are maxed, you won’t get all hearts possible until sheen is maxed out.

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

I finally beat all the Contests with my Torchic, Crispy, and have moved on to the Brilliant Contests. I can’t get past the Ultra Rank. How do I max out my visual score? I’ve put combos of 20 different stickers, usually the Contest Master Ribbon and other Contest Ribbons, but my visual only gets filled about half full.

[@iced_ramen]

I was having trouble getting over 50% until I maxed out sheen. That might be something to try.

[@GalacticEnigma]

Can confirm, maxing sheen helps a lot. I was in the same boat with maxed stats but not max sheen. Once I maxed sheen I got more hearts in the beginning. Having champion stickers from Cynthia also gives a boost.

[@ms5913]

Wow not bad my guy how do u get all stats maxed out?

[@chipsmoradas2955]

I'm wondering the same 😩

[@alephzerogaming]

It is actually easy with a full team of max friendship pokemon in amity park, watch this guide: th-cam.com/video/Dw53HqznXUQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AustinJohnPlays

[@TheCourage89]

You have max sheen, I have only 7 sheen, how are you managing to get bigger visual than me. My pokeball is as you say :(.
Trying to get all my ribbons on Pachirisu 😞

[@alephzerogaming]

I'm not sure... in my understanding, you only need 20 stickers, a scarf, and every condition maxed out with as little sheen as possible.
But some stikers do not have an attribute, I used those once, and my visual evaluation was worst, so maybe that is the problem with you, try using 4 stickers from each of the 5 conditions, you can check which stickers improve which condition at serebii's: www.serebii.net/brilliantdiamondshiningpearl/ballcapsules.shtml

[@TheCourage89]

@@alephzerogaming Right, had the chance to do some testing. Max Sheen is actually a plus on the brilliant/shining master stage. I saw my visual the more/max sheen I had.
Secondly 1 of each of the types of performance sticker as you say is needed (aka coolness A-D, 1 of each.
Thirdly max stats and a ribbon of your choice, I go coolness for safeness of run.
Fourthly, hit your mini game nearly perfectly.
That should be what needs to be pinned for people to pass the final stage.

[@Flametix]

@@TheCourage89 To add on, the Contest Star and Champion stickers are actually optimal for the Brilliant/Shining contests as well.

What stickers you use to up the visual?

[@alephzerogaming]

the ones that I got from winning the other contests, but anything will do, it evaluates every atribute, I didn't get the max visual evaluation because the pokemon's sheen was full

[@stevent3676]

@@alephzerogaming hm, really? So if a Pokémon's sheen is full then visual evaluation just won't be good no matter what? I'm just trying to better understand which stickers are better for the shining contests

[@alephzerogaming]

@@stevent3676 that's right, the sheen affect negatively the shining/brilliant visual evaluation, so it is better to max out the stats with poffins that have very low smoothness, also any sticket for any category works here

[@stevent3676]

@@alephzerogaming welp, either way I somehow beat the shining contest lmao. Now I just have tk get all the daily ribbons in sunnyshore city and I'll have a pokemon that has every ribbon on it

Max Out Shine for more visual

[@xhale671]

Idk why my visual is super low like i have maxed stats and low sheen
I use helping hand because it gives me 3 hearts and for 10 seconds every note i hit are perfect yet i still manage to lose
What a bullcrap

[@alephzerogaming]

You also need a pokeball with 20 stikers from all the 5 categories and hold any of the scarfs

[@Gregarman]

@@alephzerogaming I actually have all that on my poke and still won't get a good visual score

[@cypherxgage]

Shinning master contest is way easier then the brilliant one fml

[@scarletmatt13]

Idk. I’ve done it 14 times now and still can’t win

[@alephzerogaming]

you just gotta keep trying the best you can until the CPUs perform bad enough for you to win, it took me like 6 hours, or make better puffins so your sheen is low enough while maxing all the stats

[@Sindragozer]

lol is it really? i wish i had gotten shining pearl then :/ thnx a lot Dialga
