Valerie:"Celebrating the beauty of the Fairy type, my criteria for judging in this Poke-Fashion Show will be straightforward. I'll be looking for creativity and uniqueness in your outfits – designs that truly stand out.

Color coordination is important, as it should harmonize with the enchanting world of Fairy-type Pokemon. Accessories play a key role too; those that add a touch of whimsy will certainly catch my eye.
