Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Marks explained

Marks in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet unlock a title for the Pokemon who carries it. If the Pokemon has said Mark equipped, it will display its title once it jumps out of the Poke Ball or enters combat.

For example, if you select a Clefairy carrying the ‘Upbeat Mark,’ your trainer will prompt something like: “Go, Clefairy. The Chipper!” when it sends it into combat.

Having a Mark on a Pokemon is a good way to add flair to your team and to show off said accomplishments to other trainers.

To get Pokemon with Marks in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you need to accomplish certain achievements or be extremely lucky and catch a Pokemon carrying it.

Some Pokemon unlock Marks naturally by following certain objectives while they travel with you. Others simply carry that Mark since they are special Pokemon caught in a Mass Outbreak Event or Raid.
