The blue pentagon, a type of origin marking, highlighted on a Garchomp's status screen in Generation VI

An origin marking is an icon displayed on the summary screen of Pokémon in Pokémon Bank and the Generation VI and VII games that indicates the set of games it originated in. A Pokémon can only have one origin marking.

Pokémon that are hatched, caught, or received as a gift in a Generation I, VI, or VII game will have an origin marking. Even if the Pokémon's parents have different or no origin marking, a bred Pokémon's origin marking always matches the game in which it was bred.

On the summary screen, the origin marking is placed near the markings.

Types of origin marking

Blue pentagon

The blue pentagon[1][2] blue pentagon (Japanese: 青い五角形のマーク blue pentagon mark[3]) is an origin marking possessed by Pokémon obtained in the Generation VI games. Pokémon that were hatched, caught, or received as a gift in a Generation VI game have the blue pentagon.

For Generation VI official live tournaments and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Battle Spot, only Pokémon with the blue pentagon can be used; for Generation VII official live tournaments, only Pokémon with the black clover can be used.

In Pokémon Bank's list mode, it is possible to filter Pokémon by their origin marking (although it it not possible to filter for Pokémon that have none).

In Pokémon X and Y, 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 player will receive a crown on the Pokédex screen for each of the Kalos Pokédexes only if the Pokédex is completed using only Pokémon that have a blue pentagon. The player will receive a different diploma for a Pokédex completed using Pokémon without a blue pentagon. It is still possible to obtain a crown and get the normal diploma if the Pokédex is later completed using only Pokémon with a blue pentagon.
