Concept art of the Alola Champion Ribbon and the Battle Tree Ribbons, introduced in Generation VII

The following is a list of Ribbons that appear in the Pokémon games. There are 115 Ribbons total, with 32 originating from Generation III, 48 from Generation IV, nine from Generation V, 16 from Generation VI, four from Generation VII, five from Generation VIII and two from Generation IX.

In Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, any one of a Pokémon's Ribbons or marks can be attached to it, granting that Pokémon a corresponding title that is displayed whenever it is sent into battle.

League Ribbons

League Ribbons are obtained by entering the Hall of Fame in different regions, and are all retained if a Pokémon is transferred to a later generation. All Pokémon in the party will receive the Ribbon, even if some of them fainted or were never sent out in battle.

Among games in which Ribbons can be awarded, HeartGold and SoulSilver are the only games where winning the Pokémon League does not award a Ribbon.

Title the One-in-a-Million
Other Info According to the official guidebook, the chance for a Pokemon to be granted this Ribbon while being traded through Surprise Trade is intended to be 1/100; however, similarly to the Itemfinder Mark, no logic to grant the Ribbon appears to exist in the game's code, and there been no verifiable reports of it being legitimately obtained. Additionally, due to the prevalence of cheating, it is nearly impossible to verify this Ribbon as legitimately obtainable, as trading partners are random in Surprise Trade, and the sender may have used third party tools to apply the ribbon before being traded, rather than it being legitimately applied during the trade.

Gift Ribbons

The Gift Ribbons all originate from sources external to the core series Pokémon games. Two, the National Ribbon and the Earth Ribbon, come from Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD, which have connectivity with the core Generation III games.

The Country and World Ribbons were given out to winners of Pokémon League tournaments that were held during Pokémon Festa in 2004, 2005 and 2007*. The Regional, National and World Champion Ribbons appear to have been intended to be given out in a similar way at corresponding VGC tournaments, however this did not occur. These Ribbons are retained if a Pokémon with them is transferred to a later generation.

Gift Ribbon descriptions

Data for the following Gift Ribbon descriptions appear in the Generation III and Generation IV games. They were removed in the Generation V games and onwards.

By participating in certain Pokémon activities (such as the Regional, National, and Global tournaments for 2003, 2004, and 2005), Ribbon descriptions would be associated with certain Gift Ribbons distributed, based on the event itself.

In Generation III, all Gift Ribbons by default have an empty description associated with them. Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD make use of the "Ribbon awarded for clearing all difficulties." and "100-straight Win Commemorative Ribbon" descriptions by assigning them to the National and Earth Ribbons respectively. These assignments are then transferred to any Generation III handheld game whenever those games receive a Pokémon with their respective Ribbon attached. The descriptions are hard coded for both Ribbons in Generation IV and onwards.

In Generation IV, certain Gift Ribbons by default have the description "A commemorative Ribbon obtained in a mysterious location."^DP or "A commemorative Ribbon obtained in a Mystery Zone."^PtHGSS associated with them. When the player receives a Pokémon holding either a Classic Ribbon or a Premier Ribbon via Mystery Gift, their descriptions are assigned to "A Ribbon that proclaims love for Pokémon" and "Special Holiday Ribbon" respectively. The descriptions are hard coded for both Ribbons in Generation V and onwards.

Generation III

The names of the following Gift Ribbon descriptions appear in a text dump from Pokémon Ruby. Text strings for these Ribbons also appear in the Generation IV games. There are 64 total, with only two (for the Earth and National Ribbons) seeing actual use in Generation III and another two (for the Classic and Premier Ribbons) in Generation IV.
