Blue pentagon is a icon displayed on the summary screen of Pokémon obtained in the Generation VI games. Pokémon that are hatched, caught, or received as a gift in a Generation VI game will have this icon on their summary screen. Prior to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, having a blue pentagon was referred to as being Kalos native.

Pokémon transferred to Generation VI via Poké Transporter do not have this icon, although Pokémon bred from them do.

Function

In official tournaments in Generation VI as well as Battle Spot in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, only Pokémon with a blue pentagon can be used.

If the player has owned a species of Pokémon, but only a Pokémon that does not have a blue pentagon, it will be marked in the Pokédex differently. The diploma the player receives will be different if the Pokédex is completed only using Pokémon with a blue pentagon.

Pokémon that cannot have a blue pentagon

The following Pokémon can be brought into Generation VI using Poké Transporter, but because they cannot be otherwise obtained in Generation VI, they cannot have the ⬟ mark.
