Dragon shows? What are those about, I’m kinda interested.
They're conceptually similar to Contests except the Pokémon are judged on a different array things--dressage, breed conformation, agility, various species-specific demonstrations--and typically they're competing specifically against others of their species and evolution stage. There are organizations that run them for a variety of types, as well as for egg groups or more specific categories like "dog 'mon," but I really only do the Dragon ones or on rare occasions Dark.
They're a pretty big draw for the upper class, so a lot of people use them as opportunities for conservation fundraising. The breeder I got Fable from is working on bringing public awareness to the impacts negative stereotypes have had on wild hydreigon populations.
