How to equip Ribbons in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Open up the summary of the Pokemon you want to assign a Ribbon to. From here, scroll right twice to reach the Memories page. On here, you can press A to bring up a list of Ribbons that your Pokemon has earned. Naturally, if they haven’t earned any Ribbons yet, you won’t have any to choose from.

Depending on the Ribbon you have equipped, your Pokemon will also receive the title relating to that Ribbon. For example, a Pokemon with the Paldea Champion Ribbon receives the title ‘the Paldea Champion’.

How to get all Marks in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Unlike Ribbons, which signify achievements, Marks tend to tell you something unique about the Pokemon, such as where or when it was caught. All Marks relating to a personality type have a 1/100 chance of occurring, while those with a time of day or weather requirement have a 1/50 chance. Others vary from as low as 1/1 in the case of Marks like the Titan Mark, up to 1/16,512 in the case of the Jumbo Mark and Mini Mark, which have very specific size requirements.

Alex’s Advice

If you’re looking for Pokemon with Marks, you can use a Title Power Sandwich to boost your chances.
