An origin marking (Japanese: 出身地マーク place of origin mark) is an icon displayed on the summary screen of Pokémon in Pokémon Bank and from Generation VI onward 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, II, VI, VII, or VIII 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] (Japanese: 青い五角形のマーク blue pentagon mark[3]) is an origin marking that Pokémon obtained in the Generation VI games have. Pokémon that were hatched, caught, or received as a gift in a Generation VI game have the blue pentagon.
Prior to the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, having a blue pentagon was referred to as being Kalos native.[4] While the blue pentagon is blue in the Generation VI games and Pokémon Bank, it is black in the Generation VII and VIII games.
All of the first 721 Pokémon can have the blue pentagon, as each of them can be caught, bred, or were distributed as an event Pokémon to Generation VI games.

Black clover
The black clover[5] (also known as the Alola symbol[6]) is an origin marking that Pokémon obtained in the Nintendo 3DS Generation VII games have. Pokémon that were hatched, caught, or received as a gift in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, or Ultra Moon have the black clover.
801 of the first 807 Pokémon can have the black clover, as only that many Pokémon can be caught, bred, or have been distributed as event Pokémon to Generation VII games. Unown, Deoxys, Keldeo, Genesect, Diancie, and Volcanion cannot have the black clover.
VII | VIII |
Game Boy icon
The Game Boy icon is an origin marking that Pokémon transferred from the Generation I and II Virtual Console games to Pokémon Bank via Poké Transporter have.

The GO icon is an origin marking that Pokémon transferred from Pokémon GO via GO Park have. While it is in the programming of the Nintendo 3DS Generation VII games, it was not used until Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
Mew is the only Pokémon available in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! that cannot have the origin marking.

3DS | PE | VIII |
Let's Go icon
The Let's Go icon is an origin marking that Pokémon obtained in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! have. Although it is not displayed in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it is displayed in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
Only the first 151 Pokémon can have the origin marking. As Meltan and Melmetal must be transferred from Pokémon GO, they cannot have the origin marking.

Galar symbol
The Galar symbol[7] is an origin marking that Pokémon obtained in the Generation VIII games have. Pokémon that were hatched, caught, or received as a gift in a Generation VIII game have the Galar symbol.
All Pokémon available in Pokémon Sword and Shield can have the origin marking.

No origin marking
Pokémon obtained in the Generation III, IV, V games do not have any origin marking. Although Pokémon obtained in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! do not display an origin marking in-game, they display one if transferred to Pokémon Sword and Shield.
Only the first 649 Pokémon and Sylveon can lack an origin marking.
Function
In official live tournaments in Generation VI, VII, and VIII, as well as at the Battle Spot in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, only Pokémon with a particular origin marking can be used. 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; for Generation VIII official live tournaments, only Pokémon with the Galar symbol can be used.
In Pokémon Bank's list mode, it is possible to filter Pokémon by their origin marking (although it is 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.
In Pokémon Sun and Moon, if the player talks to Shigeki Morimoto while they have a Pokémon with the Game Boy icon in their party, he will comment that it takes him back, then give a trivium about the development of the Generation I core series games. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, he will also detail the development of the Generation II core series games if shown a Pokémon from the Virtual Console releases of the Generation II games.
