Draft:Kanto Badges/2
Ash Ketchum's Badges in The Battle Of The Badge

In Kanto, the Indigo League's eight Gyms give out badges which can qualify Trainers for the right to challenge the Elite Four. In some media outside of the games, it has been shown that there are more than eight badges and Gyms in Kanto.

List of badges

Standard Badges

The following is a list of the eight standard Badges of the Kanto region's Indigo League, in their standard order. The details listed below describe the Badges in the core series games, although some details may vary in other media.

Boulder Badge

Artwork of the Boulder Badge from Generation I

The Boulder Badge is awarded by Brock, the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym, after being defeated.

In the Kanto-based games, after obtaining the Boulder Badge, the character that previously blocked the east exit from Pewter City no longer prevents the player from advancing. In Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, after obtaining this Badge, Blue will no longer appear for the optional battle on Route 22.

In the Johto-based games, most of the Kanto badges can be acquired in any order after becoming Champion, including the Boulder Badge.

Cascade Badge

Artwork of the Cascade Badge from Generation I

The Cascade Badge is awarded by Misty, the Gym Leader of the Cerulean Gym, after being defeated.

In the Kanto-based games, the Cascade Badge cannot be acquired until after the Boulder Badge has been acquired, since the player cannot progress further than Pewter City until they have defeated Brock.

In the Johto-based games, most of the Kanto badges can be acquired in any order after becoming Champion, including the Cascade Badge. Misty is initially not present at the Cerulean Gym; she must be found at the cape on Route 25 before she will return to the Gym.

Thunder Badge

Artwork of the Thunder Badge from Generation I

The Thunder Badge is awarded by Lt. Surge, the Gym Leader of the Vermilion Gym, after being defeated.

In the Kanto-based games, the Thunder Badge normally cannot be acquired until after the Cascade Badge has been acquired, as the player needs to bypass a cuttable plant to access the Vermilion Gym—either by using Cut (which requires the Cascade Badge) or Surf (which requires the Soul Badge, which itself requires the Cascade Badge in order to obtain). In Generation I, if the player obtains a drink from the item storage in Pokémon Stadium 2 and uses it to access Saffron City early, then it is possible to use Surf and acquire the Thunder Badge before the Cascade Badge.

In the Johto-based games, most of the Kanto badges can be acquired in any order after becoming Champion, including the Thunder Badge.

Rainbow Badge

Artwork of the Rainbow Badge from Generation I

The Rainbow Badge is awarded by Erika, the Gym Leader of the Celadon Gym, after being defeated.

In the Kanto-based games, the Rainbow Badge cannot be acquired until after the Cascade Badge has been acquired, since the player needs to bypass a cuttable plant to access Celadon City.

In the Johto-based games, most of the Kanto badges can be acquired in any order after becoming Champion, including the Rainbow Badge. It is given by Erika, the leader of the Celadon Gym, after defeating her.

Soul Badge

Artwork of the Soul Badge from Generation I

The Soul Badge is awarded by Koga or Janine, the Gym Leader of the Fuchsia Gym, after being defeated.

In the Kanto-based games, the Gym Leader is Koga. In these games, the Soul Badge cannot be acquired until after the Cascade Badge has been acquired, since the player needs to bypass a cuttable plant to access Fuchsia City.

In the Johto-based games, the Gym Leader is Janine. In these games, most of the Kanto badges can be acquired in any order after becoming Champion, including the Soul Badge.

Marsh Badge

Artwork of the Marsh Badge from Generation I

The Marsh Badge is awarded by Sabrina, the Gym Leader of the Saffron Gym, after being defeated.

In the Kanto-based games, the Marsh Badge cannot be acquired until after the Cascade Badge has been acquired, since the player needs to bypass a cuttable plant to access Saffron City.

In the Johto-based games, most of the Kanto badges can be acquired in any order after becoming Champion, including the Marsh Badge.

Volcano Badge

Artwork of the Volcano Badge from Generation I

The Volcano Badge is awarded by Blaine, the Gym Leader of the Cinnabar Gym, after being defeated.

In the Kanto-based games, the Cinnabar Gym is located on Cinnabar Island. In these games, the Volcano Badge cannot be acquired until after the Soul Badge has been acquired, since Surf is required to reach Cinnabar Island.

In the Johto-based games, the Cinnabar Gym is located in the Seafoam Islands, after the original Gym at Cinnabar Island was destroyed. In these games, most of the Kanto badges can be acquired in any order after becoming Champion, including the Volcano Badge.

Earth Badge

Artwork of the Earth Badge from Generation I

The Earth Badge is awarded by Giovanni or Blue, the Gym Leader of the Viridian Gym, after being defeated.

In the Kanto-based games, the Gym Leader is Giovanni. In these games, the player cannot challenge the Viridian Gym until all other Kanto Badges have been acquired.

In the Johto-based games, the Gym Leader is Blue. In these games, the Gym Leader Blue is initially absent from the Gym and can instead be found on Cinnabar Island; in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, he will return to the Gym once the player talks to him, but in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he will remain on the island until the player speaks to him after acquiring the other seven Kanto badges.

Other Kanto Badges

Kanto Badges other than the eight shown in the core series games have appeared in some media.

Pokémon the Series

  • In The Battle Of The Badge, Gary shows that he has collected ten badges, only three of which are recognizable (the Cascade, Rainbow, and Boulder Badges).
  • In Mystery at the Lighthouse, a collage of badges, many unknown, are shown in the background while the narrator talks about the two badges Ash has earned so far at the beginning of the episode.
  • In Bad To The Bone, when Jessie compares her badges (stolen from Otoshi) to another Trainer's, her badges include three unrecognizable badges, while the other Trainer's badges are all unrecognizable.
  • Gary with 10 badges in The Battle Of The Badge

The Electric Tale of Pikachu

In Days of Gloom and Glory, when having his badges checked, Ash is shown to have eight badges, some of which do not match any of the standard badges or are slightly different. Reasonably matchable badges are Boulder, Cascade, and Earth; possibly similar ones are Soul, Marsh, and Volcano; this leaves at least two (the sixth and eighth) of unknown origin.

In the core series

The Kanto badges can be acquired in two broad groups of core series games.

Acquisition

In the Kanto games, the Boulder and Cascade badges can only be acquired first and second (respectively) and the Earth Badge must be acquired last, but the remaining badges can be acquired in any order, except for the Volcano Badge which requires the Soul Badge (and Surf). Earning a badge may increase the level of Pokémon that will obey the player (the default cap is level 10 with no badges). In the Generation I and III games, it may also allow a field move to be used outside of battle and boost a stat by 12.5% (which does not apply to Link Battles). In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee!, it also unlocks new items in the Poké Mart. These properties are detailed in the sections below.

In the Johto games, the Kanto badges can be earned after becoming Champion and traveling to Kanto aboard the S.S. Aqua, and they can generally be acquired in any order (with the exception of the Earth Badge in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver). In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, earning a Kanto badge grants a 12.5% boost to a type corresponding to the Gym's dominant type (or Ground-type for the Earth Badge). This boost does not apply to Link Battles. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Earth Badge also allows a field move to be used outside of battle.

Effects

The Badges that a player has can have various effects. For the Kanto badges, their effects differ depending on the game: Kanto-based or Johto-based.

Kanto-based games

In Kanto-based games, badges can have the following effects:

A man in Cerulean City will tell the player the effects of each of their Badges in Generations I and III.

The Badges also allow the player to pass the checkpoints along Route 23, which leads to Victory Road and ultimately the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau.

Obedience

Outsider Pokémon may disobey the player if their level is too high. The following table lists the maximum levels at which outsider Pokémon will obey the player, depending on the badges they have.

Obedience  R  B  Y  FR  LG   P  E 
Up to Lv. 10 No badges No badges
Up to Lv. 20 1 badge (Boulder Badge)
Up to Lv. 30 Cascade Badge 2 badges (Cascade Badge)
Up to Lv. 40 3 badges
Up to Lv. 50 Rainbow Badge 4 badges
Up to Lv. 60 5 badges
Up to Lv. 70 Marsh Badge 6 badges
Up to Lv. 80 7 badges
All Pokémon Earth Badge 8 badges (Earth Badge)
Stat boost

Some badges boost a certain stat of the player's Pokémon. In Generation I, the stats are increased by 12.5%, while in Generation III, they are increased by 10%. This boost is not applied in link battles and it was removed in Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

In Generation I, these stat boosts are reapplied whenever the player's Pokémon's stats are raised or lowered, allowing boosts to be stacked (this stacking effect is lost if the Pokémon levels up).

Attack Boulder Badge N/A
Defense Thunder Badge[b] Soul Badge
SpecialRBY
Special Attack and Special DefenseFRLG 		Volcano Badge
Speed Soul Badge[b] Thunder Badge
HM moves

In Generations I and III, some badges allow the player to use HM moves as field moves, outside of battle. In Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, field moves are replaced by Secret Techniques, which no longer require badges to be used.

The following table shows which badges are required to use an HM move outside of battle.

HM05 		Flash Boulder Badge
HM Fighting
HM06 		Rock Smash N/A Marsh Badge
HM Water
HM07 		Waterfall N/A Volcano Badge
Poké Marts

In Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the items sold by Poké Marts vary based on the number of Badges the player has.

Badges Poké Mart inventory
No badges Poké Ball, Potion, Antidote, Burn Heal, Ice Heal, Awakening, Paralyze Heal
1 badge (Boulder Badge) Great Ball, Escape Rope, Repel, X Attack, X Defense, X Sp. Atk, X Sp. Def, X Speed, X Accuracy, Dire Hit, Guard Spec.
2 badges (Cascade Badge) Super Potion, Lure
3 badges Full Heal, Revive, Super Repel
4 badges Ultra Ball, Hyper Potion, Super Lure
5 badges Max Repel
6 badges Max Potion, Max Lure
7 badges —
8 badges (Earth Badge) Full Restore

Johto-based games

In Johto-based games, badges can have the following effects:

  • Boosting the damage of certain types of moves (in GSC)
  • Allowing the use of HM moves as field moves (in HGSS)

In these games, obedience and stat boosts depend on the player's Johto badges. By the time the player is acquiring Kanto badges, all Pokémon will already obey them and all stat boosts will be active.

Type boost

In Generation II, each badge boosts the power of moves of a given type by 12.5%. With 16 badges between Johto and Kanto, that makes one badge for each type. The boosted type generally corresponds to the Gym's dominant type. This boost is not applied in link battles.

Unlike other effects of badges, this boost is never mentioned in-game. This mechanic was not used outside of Generation II.

Badge Boosted type
Boulder Badge Rock
Cascade Badge Water
Thunder Badge Electric
Rainbow Badge Grass
Soul Badge Poison
Marsh Badge Psychic
Volcano Badge Fire
Earth Badge Ground
HM moves

In Generation IV, only one Kanto badge allows the player to use an HM move outside of battle as a field move. Other moves depend on the Johto badges that the player will have already earned before entering Kanto.

In other games

Pokémon Puzzle League

In Pokémon Puzzle League, the player can earn all of the Kanto badges by defeating the Gym Leaders throughout the tournament.

In animation

Pokémon the Series

To participate in the Indigo Plateau Conference, Trainers need to earn eight Badges in the Kanto region, pass the Pokémon League Admissions Exam, or graduate from Pokémon Tech. Gym Badges are earned by defeating one of Kanto's Gym Leaders.

Pokémon the Series: The Beginning

Ash Ketchum sets out from Pallet Town aiming to collect eight badges and enter the Pokémon League. The Kanto badges he collected are as follows:

Badge Episode obtained Awarded by Notes
Boulder Badge Showdown in Pewter City Brock Granted for demonstrating kindness to Pokémon
Cascade Badge The Water Flowers of Cerulean City Misty Granted for saving the Gym's Pokémon from Team Rocket
Thunder Badge Electric Shock Showdown Lt. Surge
Marsh Badge Haunter versus Kadabra Sabrina Won by default when Sabrina and her Kadabra were overcome by laughter and unable to battle
Rainbow Badge Pokémon Scent-sation! Erika Granted for rescuing Erika's Gloom after Team Rocket set off a bomb and started a fire
Soul Badge The Ninja Poké-Showdown Koga
Volcano Badge Volcanic Panic Blaine
Earth Badge The Battle of the Badge Jessie, James, and Meowth Giovanni left the trio in charge of the Gym in his absence

Gary Oak and the two other Trainers who started from Pallet Town on the same day as Ash were also collecting badges throughout the Kanto region. In The Water Flowers of Cerulean City, Daisy, Violet, and Lily mentioned that they had already been defeated by three other Trainers from Pallet Town. In Primeape Goes Bananas, Professor Oak mentioned that the other three Trainers from Pallet Town had all earned five badges each.

In The Battle of the Badge, Gary Oak showed the 10 badges he had collected in the Kanto region before challenging the Viridian Gym. These included the Cascade Badge, Rainbow Badge, Boulder Badge, and 7 unknown badges.

In Bad To The Bone, a Trainer who had collected eight badges named Otoshi had those badges stolen by the Team Rocket trio before he could enter the Pokémon League. He challenged Ash to a battle, where the loser would give up eight badges to the winner, but after losing he explained his predicament to Ash. Ash, his friends, and Otoshi successfully retrieve his badges from Team Rocket, and Otoshi departs to enter the Pokémon League. The designs of Otoshi's badges are inconsistent throughout the episode — a flashback shows him earning the Thunder, Soul, Marsh, and Volcano Badges, which match the designs of Ash's badges; but when Jessie later shows off the box of Otoshi's stolen badges, there are three badges that look similar to the Soul, Marsh, and Volcano Badges but slightly different (while the Thunder Badge appears consistent).

Pokémon the Series: Ruby & Sapphire

In The Scheme Team, Agatha reveals that she has taken over as Viridian Gym Leader following Giovanni's absence, so now is the one responsible for awarding Earth Badges.

Pokémon Chronicles

In The Blue Badge of Courage, Sakura challenges the Cerulean Gym Leader, Misty, but Misty discovers that the Gym is out of Cascade Badges. After Daisy advises Misty that the Gym sources its badges from an artisan in Rifure Village, Misty, Tracey, and Sakura travel to the village to collect a new batch. However, Kinso, the artisan who creates the badges, refuses to make a new set, instead training the trio to create the badges themselves. The badge-making process involves heating metal in a kiln, hammering it into the basic shape, then welding into the precise shape, and finally painting it.

One night while training with Kinso, a group of thieves steal a set of badges from Kinso; Kinso explains that thieves often steal the badges to sell on the black market. Misty defeats the thieves and retrieves the stolen badges, for while Kinso rewards her with a set of Cascade Badges. After returning the Cerulean City, Sakura challenges Misty to a Gym battle, and wins one of the Cascade Badges that she made.

Pokémon the Journeys: The Series

etc.

Alternative badge givers

Misty's sisters, Lily, Daisy, and Violet, are also leaders of the Cerulean Gym in the series and mention giving out badges to Trainers who have defeated them, even offering one to Ash in The Water Flowers of Cerulean City without a battle.

In 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 Meowth 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.

Several other characters are shown to lead known Gyms for a time, but they are not seen giving out badges.

Pokémon Origins

In Pokémon Origins, both Red and Blue earn all eight Kanto badges.

  • Red is shown earning his badges throughout the series.
    • Boulder Badge: File 1: Red
    • Cascade Badge: File 2: Cubone
    • Thunder Badge: File 2: Cubone
    • Rainbow Badge: File 3: Giovanni
    • Soul Badge: File 3: Giovanni
    • Marsh Badge: File 3: Giovanni
    • Volcano Badge: File 3: Giovanni
    • Earth Badge: File 3: Giovanni
  • Blue earned all eight badges at least prior to File 4: Charizard, where he is shown as the Champion, but he showed off six badges in File 3: Giovanni when Red arrived at Viridian City (the Boulder and Cascade Badges may simply have not been visible).

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

In Pokémon Adventures, Red earns or acquires seven badges throughout the first arc. In A Little Kadabra'll Do It, he puts all seven badges in Team Rocket's Pokémon Badge Energy Amplifier, but in the process of defeating Team Rocket, the machine is not seen again and no mention is made of him recovering his badges. He later faces and defeats Giovanni in Long Live the Nidoqueen?!, but he does not appear to obtain the Earth Badge.

  • Boulder Badge: Onix Is On!, won by defeating Brock
  • Cascade Badge: Suddenly Starmie, received before he and Misty separated, presumably during or after their training together
  • Rainbow Badge: Meanwhile...Vileplume!, granted by Erika after Red proved his determination and compassion
  • Volcano Badge: uncertain, but Red meets Blaine in Holy Moltres and the end of that volume (after the following chapter) states that Red has four badges (and later, in A Little Kadabra'll Do It, he recalls a moment when Blaine handed him the badge)
  • Thunder Badge: Zap! Zap! Zapdos!, taken after defeating Lt. Surge
  • Soul Badge: The Art of Articuno, received from Blue after he and Red defeat Koga
  • Marsh Badge: A Little Kadabra'll Do It, received from Green in trade for a Moon Stone

Blue is only known to have acquired a couple of badges.

  • Boulder Badge: Onix Is On!, won by defeating Brock (off-screen)
  • Soul Badge: The Art of Articuno, picked up after he and Red defeat Koga, then given to Red

Green also acquires a few badges, often by stealing them. In The Jynx Jinx, she "returns" fakes of the badges she stole from Red, only to later use them to properly activate the Pokémon Badge Energy Amplifier. No mention is made of the machine or badges being recovered afterward.

  • Boulder Badge: Wartortle Wars, stolen from Red
  • Cascade Badge: Wartortle Wars, stolen from Red
  • Marsh Badge: A Little Kadabra'll Do It, stolen from Sabrina after confusing her, then traded to Red

The criteria for participation in the Indigo League Tournament are unclear, but gathering eight badges is a rare feat, as noted in Playful Porygon2 when Silver presents eight (stolen) Johto badges to gain entry.

In Onix Is On!, Blue also mentions that the Boulder Badge raises the attack power of a Trainer's Pokémon. Furthermore, in The Art of Articuno, Koga reveals that all the badges have a secret power to raise a Pokémon's abilities. They also convey a degree of control over Pokémon, with Koga able to control Articuno with the power of four badges. Team Rocket also created a Pokémon Badge Energy Amplifier that fuses Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres using seven badges (all but the Earth Badge).

The Electric Tale of Pikachu

In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Ash Ketchum is seen to have all eight badges in Days of Gloom and Glory when a woman checks his badges for the Indigo Plateau Conference, only two of which he was seen to earn.

  • Boulder Badge: Play Misty For Me, won by defeating Brock
  • Cascade Badge: Play Misty For Me, won by recovering his hat
  • Thunder Badge: prior to Days of Gloom and Glory
  • Rainbow Badge: prior to Days of Gloom and Glory
  • Soul Badge: prior to Days of Gloom and Glory
  • Marsh Badge: prior to Days of Gloom and Glory
  • Volcano Badge: prior to Days of Gloom and Glory
  • Earth Badge: prior to Days of Gloom and Glory

Participants in the Indigo Plateau Conference (which include Gary and Ritchie) may also have earned at least eight badges in Kanto, though there are also other ways to qualify for the competition.

Pokémon Pocket Monsters

In Pokémon Pocket Monsters, in The Legendary Moltres Appears!!, Red is able to pass through the Pokémon League gates, so he presumably has all eight badges, but he is only explicitly seen acquiring two badges. Furthermore, while Red meets and defeats Lt. Surge (in Great Success in the Mountains or the Seas!?), Erika (in Big Struggle with the Powerful Opponent Venusaur!!), and Sabrina (in The Life-or-Death Magic Duel!!), there is no indication that they are actually Gym Leaders. Of the remaining Gym Leaders, Red is not explicitly seen obtaining a badge from Koga (in Save The Chansey!) or Giovanni (in Get The Last Badge!!), but since he was explicitly brought to Giovanni's Gym to obtain the final badge to pass the reception gate, he presumably earned it; and when Red battled Misty (in Obtain the Moon Stone!!), it was explicitly over a Moon Stone and no badge was mentioned.

Participants in the Indigo Plateau Conference (which include Green and Blue) may also have earned at least eight badges in Kanto. Green was not seen to earn a badge, but he was seen to lose to Brock early in the series.

Pokémon Zensho

In Pokémon Zensho, Satoshi gathers badges across the series, mostly by defeating the Gym Leaders.

  • Boulder Badge: PZ02
  • Cascade Badge: PZ03
  • Thunder Badge: PZ04
  • Rainbow Badge: PZ05, specially granted by Erika for his instinct to help people without thought to his loss
  • Soul Badge: PZ06
  • Marsh Badge: PZ07, gifted by Sabrina because she believes in his strength and that she would lose
  • Volcano Badge: PZ08
  • Earth Badge: PZ09

Since Shigeru became Champion, he presumably gathered all eight badges as well, but the only mention of his battles is in PZ07 when Sabrina recalls her loss to him.

Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure

In Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure, the Earth Badge is the only Kanto badge Jō is seen to earn, by defeating Blue in JBA6, but when Blue hands over the badge, he remarks that it's Jō's last, implying that he's already earned Kanto's other badges.

In the TCG

The Kanto badges were part of the Pokémon League Rewards in the 1999-2000 and 2006-2007 cycles.

Notes

  1. ↑ In the Johto-based core series games, despite the Gym itself no longer having a specific type theme, the Gym Leader still awards the Earth Badge.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 In Generation I, the man in Cerulean City incorrectly states that the Thunder Badge boosts Speed and the Soul Badge boosts Defense. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the Badges were changed to align with the man's dialogue.
