View source for Draft:Paldea Badges

In [[Paldea]], the [[Paldea League]]'s eight [[Gym]]s give out Gym [[Badge]]s which can qualify {{pkmn|Trainer}}s for the right to challenge the [[Elite Four]]. Unlike most other regions, Paldea also has badges associated with other objectives. Star Badges are given by [[Team Star]] bosses when they are defeated, while Titan Badges are given by [[Arven]] after defeating [[Titan Pokémon]]. This brings the total number of badges to 18 (one for each [[type]]).

Badges in Paldea do not have official names. Star Badges may be referred to by their giver's name (such as [[Giacomo]]'s Star Badge).

==List of Badges==
In games set in Paldea, every Gym Badge the player obtains increases the level of Pokémon that will [[obedience|obey]] the player by 5 levels, starting from level 20 with none and ending at 100 (instead of 60) when all Gym Badges have been earned. Badges in Paldea can be obtained in any order.

Acquiring badges also increases the stock available at [[Poké Mart]]s. Acquiring Star Badges unlocks a set of TM recipes at the [[TM Machine]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
In the {{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, [[Scarlet Koito]] receives badges as the unintended result of battling Gym Leaders for information pertinent to her work. Scarlet rejects each badge she is given, prompting {{adv|Nemona}} to volunteer to carry them for her. As of ''[[PASV13|Ruin! The Client, Raifort!!]]'', Nemona carries the {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Electric}} Badges on behalf of Scarlet.

==Trivia==
* [[Paldea]] has the most badges obtainable in any region, with a total of 18. 
** Paldea is the only region to have a badge for every single [[type]].
