In Generation III, there were four markings: ●, ■, ▲, and ♥. In [[Generation IV]], two more markings were introduced and the existing ones were reordered, making the full list ●, ▲, ■, ♥, ★, and ♦. In [[Generation VII]], colors were added to these markings, with the option of making any marking either blue or pink. Pokémon can be marked with any combination of markings. A Pokémon will keep its marking settings if traded to another Trainer. | In Generation III, there were four markings: ●, ■, ▲, and ♥.
