Ribbons

Like the previous games, Pokémon Sun & Moon includes Ribbons on your Pokémon. However, unlike the previous generation, Pokémon X & Y introduce a variety of new ribbons into the fold, allowing for you to obtain them in-game. This page is to detail the ribbons you can find in the game, and where to get them

When transferring from Pokémon Black, White, Black 2 & White 2, more ribbons will become visible to players through the use of Pokémon which obtained them within Generations III and IV. Click here for a full list
