Draft:Paldea Badges
In Paldea, the Paldea League's eight Gyms give out Gym Badges which can qualify Trainers 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 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 Marts. Acquiring Star Badges unlocks a set of TM recipes at the TM Machine.
