A Bluecoat (Japanese: バッジ Badge) is an item that serves every bit proof of a Pokémon Trainer's victory in a boxing confronting a Gym Leader.

Trainers demand to collect a sure number of Gym Badges in gild to qualify for a region's Pokémon League. Young Trainers unremarkably begin their initial Pokémon journey by traveling from city to city in order to collect them. Badges are small plenty to fit hands betwixt one'south thumb and index finger and can be pinned to a shirt or kept in a Badge case.

Evolution

A selection of familiar and unfamiliar Badges tin be seen in early character artwork by Ken Sugimori. It appears that the original concept of Badges was more similar to an embroidered patch than the pinned badge they are portrayed as in the anime and subsequent game entries. While some of these patches do resemble Badges seen in the final game like the Cascade Badge, the Volcano Badge or even the Rainbow Badge, others don't appear to be based on annihilation, and may have only been fabricated for the sake of aesthetics, much like real-life embroidered patches, such as Ruby's "Leaf Badge" or Argent's "Artsy Badge".

Other instances of embroidered "Badges" can exist seen in the cover art for the Games That Stand Out Drove mag, with the male Trainer's rock or diamond badge and the female Trainer's teardrop badge, which shares a resemblance to the Cascade Badge. However, given the nature of this analogy (the designs were fabricated specifically for this cover and weren't intended to exist used in the franchise^[one]), it is probable that these designs were chosen randomly. The latter Badge's resemblance to the Cascade Badge was virtually likely a coincidence, given it is a stylized drop of h2o.

Effects

Stat boost

In Generations I-III, some Badges heave a sure stat or stats of the player'due south Pokémon. This boost is applied only in internal battles, not link battles. In Generations I and II, the stat or stats are increased by 12.5%; in Generation III, the stat or stats are increased by 10%. This boost does not exist from Generation IV onward.

In Generation I, this boost is reapplied whenever the histrion's Pokémon's stats are raised or lowered, allowing boosts to be stacked (this stacking effect is lost if the Pokémon levels upwards). In Generation II, if the attack is a disquisitional hit and the attacker's used offensive stat stage is less than or equal to the opponent's defensive stat phase, all Bluecoat boosts are ignored.

Badges past stat boosted
Stat	Indigo League	Johto League	Hoenn League
Assault	Boulder Bluecoat	Zephyr Badge	Stone Bluecoat
Defense	Thunder Badge R B Y Soul Badge FR LG	Mineral Bluecoat	Remainder Badge
Special Set on and Special Defense *	Volcano Badge	Glacier Badge*	Mind Bluecoat
Speed	Soul Bluecoat R B Y Thunder Bluecoat FR LG	Plain Badge	Dynamo Bluecoat

Note that in Generation I, the game states that the Thunder Badge raises Speed and the Soul Badge raises Defence force, but these are not the bodily effects caused.

Blazon boost

In Generation 2, every Badge boosts the power of the moves of a certain blazon by 12.5% (1/8), despite never being referenced in the games. The type strengthened matches the type theme of the Gym (for example, Zephyr Bluecoat boosts the Flying type); despite the Viridian Gym no longer having a type theme in Generation Two, the World Badge boosts Ground-type moves.

These boosts work similarly to the way same-type attack bonus (STAB) boosts work, and are, in fact, calculated in-betwixt weather modifiers and STAB. Simply similar stat boosts, type boosts are not applied in link battles.

Obedience

Main article: Obedience

Badges affect a Pokémon's beliefs. Outsider Pokémon over a certain level will refuse to obey the player without the appropriate Badge. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and Pokémon: Permit's Go, Pikachu! and Allow'due south Become, Eevee!, obedience is determined by the number of Badges, not which specific Badges the thespian has.

In the anime episode The Problem with Paras, Lacy mentioned this when Ash's Charmeleon refused to obey him.

In the anime

Master series

The Kanto Gym Badges in the anime

Ash holding the Iceberg Badge

In the anime, Badges signify that a Trainer has succeeded at a particular Gym. If a Trainer earns eight Gym Badges in one region, they are eligible to enter that region's Pokémon League Conference.

Trainers do non necessarily have to win a boxing with the Gym Leader in gild to earn a Bluecoat, and Gym Leaders can exist quite lenient well-nigh giving out Badges. For case, Ash was awarded several Badges during the original series because of his kind heart and determination; Misty has berated Ash on several occasions because he did not properly earn all of his Kanto Badges, arguing that he really only earned three Badges (the Thunder, Soul, and Volcano Badges) and the other five Badges were given to him on technicalities. In Flint Sparks the Burn down!, the Sunyshore Gym was shown to be handing out gratuitous Buoy Badges. The Orange Crew all have unabridged Gym matches devoted to unconventional battling styles.

In The Problem with Paras, Lacy mentioned that some Pokémon will non obey their Trainer if they do not respect them, due to their Trainer lacking in Badges. For example, after evolving into Charmeleon, Ash's Charmander began to disobey him, which was only exacerbated upon evolving over again into Charizard.

In Kalos, due to Clemont's perception of an ideal challenger of the Lumiose Gym, he programmed the Clembot—the substitute Gym Leader—to throw out challengers who did not have four Kalos League Badges. As a result, when Ash attempted to challenge the Gym shortly after arriving in the Kalos region, Clembot acted according to its programming and threw him out. After Clemont reprogrammed the Clembot, he removed the Bluecoat restriction, but Ash indicated he would withal collect four Badges before challenging Clemont himself at the Gym.

Gardenia property the Forest Badge

Many young man Trainers that Ash has encountered take been shown to accept Badges that do not exist in the games, such as Gary earning ten Badges in Kanto, indicating that there are more than eight Gyms in each region. Other Badges observed in the anime which do not represent to known Badges advise that there are at least ix Gyms in Hoenn, 11 in Sinnoh, xiv in Unova, and xi in Kalos. Despite this, Ash's Badge case has often had indents specifically shaped for the Badges that appear in the games. Even so, Trainers only need eight to qualify

It is also implied in the anime that a Gym Badge serves every bit a primary ID for a Gym Leader (and probably a secondary ID for a Trainer). Brock has used his Boulder Badge to identify himself in order to articulate his name from any accusations of stealing parts from a automobile shop in Cerulean City.

Additionally, Badges are not the only mode to enter the Indigo Plateau Conference. Pokémon Tech, a boarding school for Pokémon Trainers, is an expensive school for children, where moving up a grade is the equivalent of winning two Gym Badges. Upon graduation, students may immediately utilize for entry in Kanto'south League Conference. Alternatively, Trainers can take the Pokémon League Admissions Exam, which awards a single Badge that grants entry to the Indigo Plateau Conference on its own; information technology is convenient for people whose historic period, health, or work keeps them from traveling around to collect Badges.

Alternative Badges in the anime

And so far, Ash has only obtained Badges that are obtainable in the games, with the notable exception of those he obtained in the Orange Archipelago. Several unknown Badges can be seen at the beginning of Mystery at the Lighthouse, while many Trainers Ash has met have had Badges that differ from those that are obtainable in the games. This suggests that in that location are Gyms in locations which practise not appear in the games and therefore more eight Gyms in each region. Trainers with Badges not seen in the games include:

Gary

Gary acquired more than the standard 8 Kanto League Badges, thus leading to confusion as to whether or not in that location is a fixed number of Badges that tin be given out in a particular region. By The Battle of the Badge, he is shown to take at least 10 Badges, merely three of which represent to known Kanto Badges, suggesting there are at least 15 Gyms in Kanto. Incidentally, this would provide one Gym for each of the 15 types at the time.

Otoshi

In addition, before Ash competes in the Indigo League, a Trainer named Otoshi is shown in the episode Bad to the Bone; he owns eight Badges, simply only shares 4 in common with Ash; later in the episode another Trainer is seen with eight other completely different Badges altogether. In full, Ash, Gary, Otoshi, and the other Trainer brandish 27 different types of Badges, so in that location must be at least this number of Gyms in Kanto at the time, assuming they are all from the same region. Nevertheless, Sakura, a Trainer on her journeying, was shown to be collecting Badges from both Kanto and Johto, so it is unclear what the specific rules are for competing in championship tournaments.

On closer inspection, Otoshi's Badges each look somewhat like to Ash'due south Badges and simply differ in size and shape. Similarly, what tin be identified equally a Soul Badge, Thunder Bluecoat, Marsh Badge, and Volcano Badge slide across the screen every time his Marowak knocks out a Pokémon in his flashback. His Badges are in this order from upper-left to lesser-right: Thunder, ? (Rainbow), Cascade, Volcano, Marsh, Soul, Boulder, and Earth. This hints that there may be different varieties of the same Badge.

Morrison

At the Hoenn Pokémon League Championship in Saved by the Beldum!, Morrison was shown to have an eighth Bluecoat unlike from Ash's, suggesting that in that location are at least ix Gyms in Hoenn.

Mismagius

In Ash's dream in Malice in Wonderland, Ash has many Badges that haven't been on-screen earlier, as well every bit some older Badges. Considering it was only a dream, it is possible that some of the Badges seen don't exist at all.

Barry

In Barry's Busting Out All Over!, Barry was shown to accept three Badges. While the Forest Bluecoat and the Mine Bluecoat are no different, Barry has a third Badge that is different from the eight Sinnoh Badges. In Fighting Ire with Fire!, Barry was revealed to accept obtained 8 Badges already, two more of which are different. This means that in that location are at least 11 Gyms in Sinnoh. The same unknown cherry-red Badge that Barry owns is shown at the cease of An Erstwhile Family Blend!.

Nando

In Last Phone call, First Circular!, Nando was revealed to accept acquired seven Badges, two of which are unknown. These two Badges are the same as 2 of Barry's unknown Badges.

Trip

In Ash Versus the Champion!, Trip revealed all five of the Badges he had collected, three of which are unknown and not seen in-game.

Cameron

In Goodbye, Junior Loving cup - Hello Run a risk!, Cameron revealed all 7 of the Badges he collected, iv of which are known and three of which are unknown. Two of those unknown Badges are the same as Trip's. Since in that location are 10 Badges in Unova in the games (due to ii of them being replaced in Black ii and White 2), this means that there are at least 14 Gyms in Unova.

Sawyer

In A Fashionable Battle!, Sawyer stated that he had earned one Badge. Later, in From A to Z!, he was revealed to accept earned four more Badges, including 3 unknown ones, respectively resembling a flame, three bubbles, and a pair of wings. This means in that location are at least 11 Gyms in Kalos.

Not-Gym Badges

Several Badges take appeared in the anime that are not official Gym Badges.

In the Indigo League, Trainers tin can take the Pokémon League Admissions Exam, which awards a single Badge that tin can grant them entry into Indigo Plateau Conference on its ain, thus replacing the requirement to collect Gym Badges. It is convenient for people whose age, wellness, or piece of work keeps them from traveling effectually to collect Badges.

During the closing ceremony of Indigo Plateau Briefing, all participants are awarded the Pokémon League Badge. However, it is only referred to as a Badge in the dub.

For helping the band of Diglett thieves with their facade, the mayor of Diglett Hamlet awarded Ash and his friends with the Silvery Fly Badge.

The Trainers who defeat Ryuki, the Leader of the unofficial Kantonian Gym, go a novelty Badge featuring his face.

Pokémon Adventures

Platinum'due south Sinnoh Gym Badges

In Pokémon Adventures, Badges accept mystical and mysterious qualities that tin somehow increment the ability of the Pokémon endemic by the Trainer who wields the Badges, simply as the Boulder Badge increases the Pokémon's Set on stat in the games. In addition, Badges that don't allow higher leveled Pokémon to obey, such as the Soul Badge, do indeed let the wearer to command even Legendary Pokémon such equally Articuno.

It is not known what sort of material Badges are made of, but it has been confirmed that the Gym Leaders each own a Badge fabricated of different textile than the kind given out to normal Trainers, every bit that is how the Masked Man'southward identity was narrowed downwardly to among the 16 known Gym Leaders when Aibo scraped off a part of his subconscious Badge with his Scratch assault.

Team Rocket used 7 Kanto Gym Badges to ability a machine that combined Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres into a unmarried brute. The machine also had a cloak-and-dagger slot for the World Badge, which Lance manipulated to farther his own goals by turning Cerise Island into a giant Badge free energy amplifier to fuel Lugia with.

Badges are not required to enter the Pokémon League tournament; still, without eight Badges corresponding to their home region, a Trainer must battle their style in to authorize for the finals. This ruling was introduced during a Pokémon Clan meeting in the Gilt, Silver & Crystal chapter, to give Trainers incentive to challenge Gym Leaders, and remove the perception of Badges being seen as tools for evil. In the Black & White chapter, a final-minute advancement of the appointment of the Unova League tournament also restricted the eligible challengers to those with all eight of the region's Badges.

Vi main characters have actively been collecting Gym Badges: Red, who managed to collect seven Kanto Badges (missing the Globe Bluecoat); Sapphire, Platinum, and Black, whom managed to collect all of the Badges in their respective regions; Henry Sword, who currently has v Galar Gym Badges; and Casey Shield, who managed to collect iv Galar Badges before losing her Gym Challenge. Other characters take besides gathered Badges, such as Cheren and Hop. Silver once stole a Badge from each Gym in Johto in order to gain access into the Pokémon League, only afterward returned them to their respective Gym Leaders.

The Electric Tale of Pikachu

Ash'southward Orange League Badges

In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Badges work in a way similar to the anime, just there are some minor differences. All Badges take the Pokémon League logo printed on them.

In addition, Pokémon Trainers are organized by class, much like Pokémon Tech ("Class D", "Course C", so forth). Badges increase the rank of the Trainer who owns them. Ash once believed that he could increment his rank by capturing rare wild Pokémon, but this was not the case.

Ash has obtained eight Badges from Kanto, but but iii (Boulder, Pour, Globe) actually matching known Badges, and another three lookalike Badges (resembling the Soul, Marsh, and Volcano). Ash also obtained iv Badges from the Orangish Islands, but none of them match any known Badges.

In Pokémon Live!

In Pokémon Alive!, Giovanni offered the Diamond Bluecoat to Trainers who would exist able defeat his MechaMew2. He gave Ash the Diamond Badge prior to the battle, believing that Ash would never win. However, Ash defeated Giovanni with Mewtwo's assistance, proceeding to give the Diamond Badge to Misty equally a belated birthday gift. Pokémon Live! is non in continuity with the anime, and the Diamond Badge is not mentioned elsewhere in the series.

Trivia

The Earth Bluecoat'due south pattern in the anime

Official artwork of the World Badge

The original Badge slots in Ash's Unova Badge case

• In the Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blueish estimator programs, the Soul and Marsh Badges' names are reversed, with the pink heart-shaped Badge being the Marsh Bluecoat and the yellowish round Badge being the Soul Badge. Several anime and game handbooks also brand this same switch. This appears to be because of an initial mistake in naming the Badges in Pokémon Ruby-red and Blue. A soul would be more attuned to psychic abilities and one finds poisonous gases in a marsh.
• Official artwork of the Earth Badge (featured in media such as Pokémon Project Studio Reddish and Blue and Extreme Pokémon: The Guide for the Ultimate Fan) differs significantly from its advent in the games, anime, manga, and TCG. The design in its official artwork resembles a plant, whereas its other design resembles a feather.
• The Orange League is the simply known Pokémon League with fewer than 8 Badges.
• It is possible to obtain certain Badges in a non-linear order. The most notable instance of this are the Badges in the Kanto region.
  • In Generation I and Iii, the Thunder Bluecoat, Rainbow Badge, Soul Bluecoat, Marsh Badge, and Volcano Badge can exist obtained in almost any order the actor desires, with the stipulation that the Soul Badge must exist obtained earlier the Volcano Bluecoat, as the Soul Badge is required in club to use Surf on the field, which, in plow, is required to reach Cinnabar Isle where the Volcano Badge is obtained.
  • In Generation II and IV, the Badges tin can be obtained in well-nigh any order, although in Generation IV the player cannot obtain the Earth Bluecoat until obtaining the other 7.
  • In Generation VII, the Boulder and Cascade Badges must each exist obtained to progress to the next Gym, and Viridian Gym (Earth Badge) is airtight until the player has obtained all seven other Badges. Other than these restrictions, the Badges tin can exist obtained in any social club.
  • In Generation Iii, the Knuckle Badge can exist postponed until afterwards the Oestrus Badge, simply must be obtained in order to challenge the Petalburg Gym. The Plumage Badge is not required until challenging the Aristocracy Four.
    • In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, this is no longer the case, because the southern part of Road 120 is blocked until the player obtains the Feather Bluecoat.
• In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the Earth Badge is the merely Bluecoat that doesn't allow the employ of an HM outside of boxing, while in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver it is the but Kanto Badge that does.
• The Rainbow Badge's colors correspond with the colors of all the other Kanto Badges, explaining the colors in its pattern.
• In the code of the Generation I games, items named for each Bluecoat can be establish. The items named BoulderBadge and CascadeBadge allow players to throw allurement and rocks, respectively, at Pokémon outside of the Safari Zone when used in battle. The other "Badge Items" have no known purpose, simply displaying Professor Oak's "This isn't the time to employ that!" message when trying to apply them.
• The Basic Badge is the only bluecoat to be given out by multiple Gyms.
• The Rising Badge is the only Badge the player receives outside of its respective Gym.
• The Legend Bluecoat is the merely Badge from a completed generation of games that has not appeared in the anime.
  • When Ash initially got his Unova Badge case in Minccino—Slap-up and Tidy!, the slots in it were made to fit each Badge in Pokémon Black and White, but they later became circular to suit the Toxic Badge.
• Ash has not won a Badge in the same episode as his get-go see with its corresponding Gym Leader since earning the Dynamo Badge from Wattson in Watts with Wattson?.
• In Alola, Gyms and Badges are not present. Instead, the role player receives Z-Crystals for completing their trials and grand trials, which replace Badges on the salvage file and for unlocking new items at the Poké Mart (the latter for Z-Crystals from trials but). Additionally, yard trial completion Stamps are used to ensure obedience.
  • Nevertheless, in Pokémon Ultra Lord's day and Ultra Moon, the thespian can receive an unofficial Badge known every bit the Surge Bluecoat by defeating the leader of the Kantonian Gym in Malie City. Although it is purely a novelty item and serves no practical purpose, its design and Japanese proper noun are direct references to the Thunder Badge, while its English name is likewise a reference to Lt. Surge.

Name origin

• With the exception of the Rainbow and Rising Badges, all Badges in Kanto and Johto were renamed for audiences outside of Japan. All Hoenn League Badges keep their Japanese names, as practice Sinnoh League Badges, with the exception of the Icicle Badge, due to its name originally being the Glacier Badge in Japanese. In English, the Glacier Badge is the Mahogany Gym's Bluecoat, which was originally called the Water ice Bluecoat in Japanese. This naming conflict continued in Generation 5, with the Icirrus Gym's Badge beingness the Icicle Badge in Japanese, where it was renamed the Freeze Bluecoat in English.
  • The Japanese names of the Kanto Badges are all colors, following the colour pattern for the boondocks and city names. In the example of Celadon City, the Rainbow Badge is likely a reference to the urban center's namesake in Japanese being the jewel beetle with its wings featuring an iridescent advent.
  • The Trio and Insect Badges are the first Badges since the Glacier Badge in Generation II to get renamed in the English version of the games, without at that place being a localization conflict betwixt the Japanese and English versions.
    • Additionally, the Insect Bluecoat is the only badge who shares the same name of a badge's Japanese name, the Hive Badge being the "Insect Badge" in Japanese.
  • All Badges in Galar are named directly afterwards their corresponding types.
    • Consequentially, both Galar and Kalos have a Fairy Badge (フェアリーバッジ), making them the just Badges to share a proper noun with each other in both English language and Japanese.
• The Storm Badge's English name may be derived from the lucha libre wrestler Fray Tormenta—too the inspiration for Crasher Wake—whose name translates every bit "Friar Storm".
