    Quick write up on beating all the Contests easily with minimal investments/effort. I used this and only lost 6 times doing all 20 contests. Luck plays a part but it should work.

    You will need 2 Level 55 Claydol (Sky Pillar floors 1 & 3 levels 36-38)

    Cosmic Power - Level up 42
    Ancient Power - Level up 25
    Secret Power - TM 43 (Route 111, Slateport City Market)
    Explosion - Level Up 55

    Use moves in this order regardless of contest
    Round 1, Cosmic Power
    Round 2, Ancient Power
    Round 3, Cosmic Power
    Round 4, Secret Power
    Round 5, Explosion

    Make pokeblock with group of 3 with at ~90 RPM. This should give 23 stat 19 feel pokeblocks
    Feel is the same stat as sheen, at 255 Feel/Sheen the pokemon wont eat anymore. You can check the Pokenav to see how many stars you pokemon has, each star aside from the first is around 29 feel/sheen.
    The Conditions(stats) are only used for pre-game bonus but makes up around half of the score. Feel/Sheen is also used here so max it.
    Natures boost and reduce how many points are given from each pokeblock by 10% based on flavor. (~20 points total)

    You can get Colored Scarves to boost stats from The Slateport Fan Club Chairman if you show him a pokemon with at least 200 points in a contest stat. Scarves add +20 to a stat of that color. You will need to grow/dupe more EV berries for this, as normal ones have a bad ratio and fill sheen too fast. Use some other pokemon for this.

    Stats Cap at 255 but really 160+ and scarf is good.

    Claydol for Cute, Cool, and Toughness Contests
    Hardy,Bashful,Serious,Quirky,Docile,Jolly, or Naive natures

    7 Qualot (8x on Route 123)
    7 Grepa (8x on Route 123)

    Without Scarves will be around 255 Cute, 161 Cool, 161 Tough

    Claydol for Beauty and Smart Contests
    Hardy,Bashful,Serious,Quirky,Docile,Modest,Quiet, or Mild natures

    7 Pomeg (8x on Route 123)
    4 Kelpsy (6x on Route 115)
    3 Hondew (4x on Route 119)

    Without Scarves 230 Smart, 161 Cool, 161 Beauty, 92 Tough

    Little bit of a tune up to the strat above.
    Get ONE clay doll. Teach it explosion by talking to tutor in poke center of pacifidlog town, then just train it to lvl 42.

    Complete the first two contests no saving, when achievements pop, just reset and feed the other berries to the same claydol.

    You can see I got all five contest trophies in 45 min and I ran thru a couple of contests twice or 3x because I made mistakes on inputs and no resets for it to work.

    Make sure to visit slateport for the scarfs to make it impossible to lose

    ~~~ How to do all 5 contests with minimal effort and investment ~~~

    You need;
    - Any Male Wobbuffet (should have destiny bond unless you manually deleted it)
    - Any Female Shuppet/Banette
    - 2-3 each of Kelpsy, Hondew, Pomeg, Qualot and Grepa berries

    Breed the Wobbuffet and Shuppet to get a shuppet with Destiny Bond. It learns Curse, Faint Attack and Spite naturally on the way to evolving to a Banette.

    POKEBLOCKS
    I could go into why this is ideal but it would take forever to explain, just know that for the purposes of all master contests it works. You need to make 10x Pokeblocks with 3x NPC's mixing with you. Use 2x Kelpsy, then Hondew, Pomeg, Qualot and finally Grepa. As long as you do the spinning decently they should be 23 19, it doesn't matter much if a few are off by 1. Feed them all to Banette and they will have a nice green Pentagon for contest stats. You CAN do an extra Kelpsy, Pomeg and Grepa Pokeblock to get higher contest stats, but I just did 10 and it worked fine, up to you.

    STRATEGY
    Turn 1 - Curse
    Turn 2 - Spite
    Turn 3 - Curse
    Turn 4 - Spite
    Turn 5 - Destiny Bond

    Using this basic strategy above you will eventually win all contests, but if you pay a little more attention you can get it done quicker. Basically, if you're going first use Faint Attack, if you're going last use Spite, otherwise use Curse. And always use Destiny Bond on turn 5.

    With this moveset and pokeblock combination, you will easily complete all master contests within 3 tries using 1 pokemon. Hope this helps!

    TLDR - Breed Shuppet with Destiny Bond, teach it Curse + Spite + Faint Attack and evolve. Make 10 pokeblocks with berries listed above, feed them all to Banette. Curse > Spite > Curse > Spite > Destiny Bond on repeat until you have all ribbons. No need for natures, scarves, or any of that stuff.
