The '''Earth Badge''' (グリーンバッジ ''Green Badge'') is the [[badge]] awarded by the [[Viridian Gym]] in [[Kanto]]. It is usually the final of the [[Draft:Kanto Badges|Kanto Badges]] a {{pkmn|Trainer}} earns. In most media, it is given by [[Giovanni]].

==In the core series==
===Kanto-based games===
In games set only in Kanto, the Earth Badge cannot be acquired until all the other badges have been acquired. It is given by Giovanni, the leader of the Viridian Gym, after defeating him.

Obtaining the Earth Badge has several effects that can differ among games.
* {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Indigo Plateau]] can be accessed to challenge the [[Elite Four]].
* Pokémon up to lv. 100 will [[Obedience|obey]] the player.
* {{gameabbrev7|PE}}: [[Full Restore]] is unlocked in the [[Poké Mart]].

===Johto-based games===
In [[Johto]]-based games, most of the Kanto badges can be acquired in any order after becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}; for the Earth Badge, this depends on the games being played. In all Johto-based games, the new [[Gym Leader]], {{ga|Blue}}, is initially absent from the Gym and can instead be found on [[Cinnabar Island]]. In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], he will return to the Gym once the player talks to him; but in [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]], he will remain on the island until the player has acquired the other seven Kanto badges and then speaks to him.

Obtaining the Earth Badge has effects that can differ among games.
* {{gameabbrev2|GSC}}: the power of {{type|Ground}} moves is boosted by 12.5%.
* {{gameabbrev4|HGSS}}: {{m|Rock Climb}} ([[HM08]]) can be used outside of battle.

==In other games==
In [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], the player can earn badges, including the Earth Badge by defeating Giovanni.

==In animation==
===Pokémon the Series===
In ''[[EP063|The Battle Of The Badge]]'', Giovanni is the Gym Leader of the Viridian Gym and defeats [[Gary Oak]] as a challenger, but after that, he puts [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} in charge, including being able to give out the Earth Badge, so that he can attend to business. When {{Ash}} challenges and defeats them, they initially refuse to give him the badge, but when they're sent blasting off, they drop the Earth Badge and Ash claims it.

Although she is not shown giving out the Earth Badge, [[Agatha]] also served as the temporary leader of the Viridian Gym (following Giovanni's apparent absence), as seen in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.

===Pokémon Origins===
In [[Pokémon Origins]], [[Red (Origins)|Red]] earns the Earth Badge in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'' by defeating Giovanni.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
The Earth Badge is shaped like a plant, most likely a {{wp|Cleyera japonica|Sakaki tree}}, which is where Giovanni's Japanese name comes from.

====Name origin====
Earth is a synonym for {{t|Ground}}, the dominant type in Giovanni's Gym.

Green is the color of the badge, similar to the other Kanto badges.
