Kanto Grand Festival

The Kanto Grand Festival (Japanese: カントーグランドフェスティバル Kanto Grand Festival) is an championship contest competition of the Kanto Region, akin to the Hoenn Grand Festival and the Sinnoh Grand Festival. All Pokémon Coordinators who earn five Contest Ribbons from the Kanto region are eligible to enter. The competition is held on Mt. Ember near One Island of the Sevii Islands.
==Competition==
The Kanto Grand Festival started in One Hit Wonder! and ended in Storm Princess!. The competition spans eight days. The first day is dedicated to the opening ceremonies. The next five days are dedicated to three days of appeals and two days of rest. The last two days of competition consist of the battle rounds. The final day includes the closing ceremony immediately following the final stage. 
Like all Kanto Pokémon Contests, Lady Gillespie is the announcer.
Apart from the usual panel of judges, made of Raoul Contesta, Mr. Sukizo and a Nurse Joy, the host of the Hoenn Region Contests, Lady Joyce, was also a guest judge, while three other Nurse Joys gave the scores. The winner of the Kanto Grand Festival receives the coveted Kanto Ribbon Cup as their prize and becomes a Kanto Top Coordinator.
During the Yazmyne's first tour through the Kanto Grand Festival, 218 participants were entered.
==Eligible Pokemon==
Trainers may only use up to six Pokemon during competition. Eligible Pokemon for competition include official Pokemon registered in the Kanto, Johto, Riau, Hoenn, and Sinnoh Pokedexes. Alola Forms are permitted. Exceptions are made for any trainer's officially registered starter Pokemon.
Galar Forms are not permitted unless they are a trainer's starter Pokemon. Select Legendary Pokemon are not permitted. Z-Moves are not permitted.
Trainers are allowed to use Mega Evolution. However, only one pre-registered Pokemon they choose can Mega Evolve during the tournament.
==Rounds==
Each round is judged by a panel of four individuals. They include Raoul Contesta, Mr. Sukizo, a Nurse Joy from the Kanto region and a special guest judge. Competition spans one week.
===Appeals===
The appeal stage of Kanto Grand Festival consists of two rounds. In the first round, Coordinators have their Pokémon perform with just one move. Each coordinator is allotted two minutes per performance. Due to the large of number of performances, the preliminary appeal stage takes place on two stadiums and spans two days. The top 64 scoring Coordinators proceed to the next round. A day of rest is held after Day 2 of competition.
The main performance round occurs during the fourth day of competition. The round is a full appeal round like regular Contests; Coordinators have their Pokémon use as many moves as necessary within 3 minutes. The 16 top scoring Coordinators from this round move on to the next stage. A second day of rest is held after the second appeal stage.
===Double-Battles===
The third stage marks the beginning of the Grand Festival's Contest Double Battle rounds and shows how skilled Coordinators and their Pokémon are when put into battle with four rounds. 
The 16 remaining Coordinators are matched-up randomly by computer up to the semi-finals, which is the last round that computer will choose a random match-up. Coordinators who ran out of points, had their Pokemon knocked out, or had the least amount of points once the time ran out were eliminated from the Grand Festival. The Coordinator who wins all four of their battles is declared the winner of the tournament.
The battle rounds span two consecutive days of competition. The Top 16 and quarterfinal battles are held on the first day of battle and Day 6 of competition. The second day of battles and final day of competition features the semifinals in the morning and the finals in the afternoon. The closing ceremony is held immediately after the finals.
