Pokémon Magic Shows (Japanese: ポケモンマジックショー Pokémon Magic Show) are a type of competition featured in Pokémon Aether, Nether, and Tether Versions. Like Pokémon Contests, the Pokémon Musical, and the Pokéathlon, it offers Trainers an alternative to battling. People who take part are known as Pokémon magicians (Japanese: ポケモンマジシャン Pokémon magician), who raise and train their Pokémon to aid or take part in a variety of magic tricks for the enjoyment of the audience. Though they are often solo acts, multiple magicians can take part one at a time during a show, and are ranked accordingly based on showmanship, deception, and imagination. They appear to be exclusive to the Xeno region, and unlike Contests and the Pokélympia (which are located exclusively in one area), they are held at any major city. There appears to be a region-wide ranking of Pokémon magicians, all striving to reach the top.
In the games, they function as a fusion and advancement upon the Appeal and Dance Competition from the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions.
