While Shinys are a symbol of a Pokemon’s uniqueness, Marks have added a whole new depth to this concept. They’re back in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, and obtaining a few of them can be harder than finding certain Shiny species.
What Are Marks in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet?
Marks are special ornaments given to Pokémon under certain conditions that give them new titles. Most are granted automatically as soon as the Pokemon is caught, but some are obtained under special conditions. They’re very similar to Ribbons, but the main difference is that most of them are only obtained when catching the Pokemon.
