== National Park: Bug-Catching Contest ==

The '''Bug-Catching Contest''' is a signature recurring event held in the National Park, located north of Goldenrod City in the Johto region. It is a premier opportunity for trainers to expand their Pokédex, capture rare Pokémon, and earn valuable evolution stones.

=== Event Schedule ===
The contest is held three times a week:
* '''Tuesday'''
* '''Thursday'''
* '''Saturday'''

---

=== Contest Rules ===
To participate, speak to the guard standing in the middle of the South Entrance station.

* '''Time Limit:''' 20 Minutes.
* '''Equipment:''' Participants are provided with '''20 Sport Balls'''.
* '''Team Constraints:''' You may only take '''one Pokémon''' into the park. The rest of your party will be held by the guard until the contest concludes.
* '''Judging Criteria:''' Pokémon are judged based on their '''Level''', '''Rarity''', '''Current HP''', and '''Stats'''.
* '''Completion:''' The contest ends if the timer expires, you run out of balls, your Pokémon faints, or you exit through a guardhouse.

> '''Note:''' You only keep the single Pokémon you choose to submit for judging. Choose wisely!

---

=== Prizes and Rewards ===
Participants receive a prize based on their final placement:

! Placement !! Reward
|-
| '''First Place''' || [[Sun Stone]]
|-
| '''Second Place''' || [[Everstone]]
|-
| '''Third Place''' || [[Sitrus Berry]]
|-
| '''Participation''' || [[Shed Shell]]
|}

---

=== Battle & Capture Strategy ===
* '''The Soft Reset Method:''' Save your game before talking to the guard. If you do not win the specific prize you want, reset the game before saving to try again.
* '''HP Management:''' Since current HP is a judged category, avoid damaging the Pokémon if possible. Simply throwing Sport Balls at full health is the best way to secure a high score.
* '''Species Selection:''' While non-bug types like ''Nidoran'' or ''Taillow'' can be submitted, the judges favor rare Bug types.

==== Headbutt Strategy ====
Using '''Headbutt''' on trees is the secret to winning. Pokémon found this way have significantly higher levels than those in the grass, leading to much higher point totals.
