Example of titles being shown when entering a battle in the Battle Tower in Wyndon. The examples shown are Shiny Antique form Polteageist displaying the Misty Mark's title, and Shiny Excadrill displaying the Galar Champion Ribbon's title, respectively.

A title (Japanese: 二(ふた)つ名(な) another name or 呼(よ)び名(な) form of address) or special title is a phrase that can display next to a Pokémon's name when it is sent out in battle. Titles were introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield and are also present in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.[1] Most titles are displayed as suffixes in English, French, Italian, and Spanish, but they display as prefixes in Chinese, German, Japanese, and Korean.

If a Pokémon has any mark or Ribbon, the title corresponding to it can be freely toggled on and off from the Pokémon's summary. Only one title can be active at a time; selecting a different Ribbon or mark from the summary will replace the currently equipped title. In Link Battles, the opposing player's Pokémon will display any equipped title as well.

If a title is equipped, that data is retained through trade and transfer to other games, but will not be displayed when sent into battle in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl nor Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Trivia

  • Nincada that evolve in Pokémon Sword and Shield only pass their Ribbons and marks onto the Ninjask, leaving the Shedinja with no Ribbons or marks. However, a bug allows an equipped Ribbon or mark's title to remain on the Shedinja despite not having the Ribbon/mark that grants it. This persists through trades, and even in Pokémon HOME, until the title is unequipped or a different Ribbon/mark is selected.[2]
  • The Twinkling Star and Hisui Ribbons (which were introduced in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus, respectively) do not exist in Pokémon Sword and Shield. They do not appear in the summary, cannot be equipped, and have no programmed title in Pokémon Sword and Shield. They only display their corresponding title when equipped in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
    • This extends to all Scarlet and Violet exclusive Marks and Ribbons as well, excluding the Destiny Mark, which was programmed into Sword and Shield, but was unobtainable prior to Scarlet and Violet.
  • The Partner Ribbon has the only title that dynamically changes based on another aspect of a Pokémon, specifically its Original Trainer. In English, it is the only title that acts as a prefix; in German, it is the only title that acts as a suffix.
