View source for Draft:Unova Badges

In [[Unova]], the [[Unova League]]'s [[Gym]]s give out [[badge]]s which can qualify {{pkmn|Trainer}}s for the right to challenge the [[Elite Four]].

While [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]] and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] each have eight Gyms, they are not all the same Gyms. Between the events of Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, the [[Striaton Gym]] and [[Icirrus Gym]] close; in Black 2 and White 2, two new Gyms&mdash;[[Virbank Gym]] and [[Humilau Gym]]&mdash;are accessible, but it is uncertain whether they existed during the events of Pokémon Black and White since [[Virbank City]] and [[Humilau City]] were not in those games. This makes at least ten badges obtainable in Unova over that time period.

In some media outside of the games, it has been shown that there are more than ten badges and Gyms in Unova.

==List of badges==
===Identifiable badges===
In games set in Unova, every badge increases the level of Pokémon that will [[obedience|obey]] the player by 10 levels, starting from level 10 with no badges and ending at 100 (instead of 90) for the final badge.

Acquiring badges also increases the stock available at [[Poké Mart]]s.

===Unidentified badges===
Some media depict a number of badges beyond the ten from the games.
* [[Pokémon the Series]]
** ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'': when {{Ash}} spots [[Trip]] and they compare badges, of the five badges Trip shows, only two are recognizable.
** ''[[BW094|The Road to Humilau!]]'': after winning the Wave Badge, [[Cameron (Unova)|Cameron]] opens his badge case and shows a total of eight badges, but only five are recognizable, with two others matching two of Trip's and the last one being unique.
