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 three 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.

As of Scarlet and Violet, Pokémon that obtained seven out of the eight possible Ribbons will also display this version, owing to the fact that the World Ability Ribbon is no longer officially obtainable.

Memorial Ribbons

The Memorial Ribbons are awarded for various reasons in-game, some trivial and some requiring effort. All are retained if a Pokémon is transferred to a later generation, but most are also available in multiple generations.

INTRODUCED IN

Description
IX A rare Ribbon found extremely infrequently on Pokémon obtained in a Surprise Trade.
Locations
IX Unobtainable
  Title _____ the One-in-a-Million
  Other Info According to the official guidebook, the chance for a Pokémon to be granted this Ribbon while being traded through Surprise Trade is intended to be 1/100[1]; however, similarly to the Itemfinder Mark (prior to v2.0.1), 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, (unless the logic can be properly found within the game's programming), it is incredibly difficult to 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. Otherwise, the most common Gift Ribbons are distributed on event Pokémon. 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.
