Previously, Pearl and friends made their contest debut! Before heading to the Contest Hall for the competition, they did some baking! Who knew Coconut had such natural flair for being a television chef? (Answer: we all did!)

After the baking extravaganza, the crew kicked things off with the Cuteness contest! Zilla didn't quite fit, Barky got caught in the crossfire, Captain finally opened that umbrella, and Elmer showed that she's a cuteness prodigy! Now it's time for the next chunk of the competition. Which Pokémon is truly the coolest? What strategic moves will our smarties use? And what other surprises do these contests have in store??
