'''Seals''' (Japanese: '''シール''' ''Seal'') are small stickers in [[Generation IV]] that can be attached to [[Ball Capsule]]s, which can in turn be attached to [[Poké Ball]]s, to attain special effects when a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} comes out of them, instead of the usual flash of light. They are kept in a {{key|IV|Seal Case}}.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a majority of Seals can be purchased at the [[Sunyshore Market|Market]] in [[Sunyshore City]], where the selection changes daily. There are also 28 Seals (letters A through Z, an exclamation point and a question mark), that can be obtained by showing {{p|Unown}} to a boy in [[Solaceon Town]]. This can be repeated as often as needed – a new Unown is not needed each time. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, three Seals can be acquired each day from a girl in [[Olivine City]].

Once a Seal is acquired, it cannot be sold or thrown away legitimately. The Seal Case can store a maximum of 99 of each Seal, including those Seals that are applied to a Ball Capsule.

The first episode that featured the use of Seals in the anime was ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]''. Seals are commonly used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s in the Sinnoh region. These make the entrance of the Pokémon more attractive and sometimes affect the score given to them. A few Seals are supplied when a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] receives a Seal Case, but additional seals are bought at shops or markets.

In the [[Pokémon anime]], Seals were featured for the first time in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]''. In this [[canon]], Seals are commonly used during [[Pokémon Contest]]s in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. In contrast with the {{pkmn|games}}, where multiple Seals at a time can be attached to a [[Ball Capsule]], only one Seal is used per Ball Capsule in the anime.

[[Pokémon Coordinator]]s use Seals to make the entrance of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} more attractive, since it is important to leave an impression when the Pokémon is sent out of its [[Poké Ball]]. Additionally, the use of Seals is often commented on by [[Raoul Contesta|the]] [[Mr. Sukizo|Contest]] [[Nurse Joy|judges]], as they start forming opinions from the very beginning of a [[Appeal|performance]] or [[Contest Battle|battle]].

A few Seals are supplied when a Coordinator registers for a [[Contest Pass]], and additional Seals can be bought at shops or markets. In ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} was seen buying new Seals for {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} at a store in [[Chocovine Town]].
All of the ten types of Seals were featured over the course of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. For a collection of images showing Seals and their effects in the anime, please see [[a:Category:Seals|Seals]] on the [[Bulbagarden Archives]].

In ''[[PS354|Knowledge of the Unown I]]'', {{adv|Platinum}} receives Seals and a Ball Capsule as thanks for giving the [[Pokémon News Press]] information on {{p|Unown}}. The Seals prove to be helpful in the [[Solaceon Ruins]] where Platinum, {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} end up trapped in the dark while helping two Unown reunite with their friends. She accidentally drops her [[Platinum's Empoleon|Prinplup's]] Poké Ball and the light emanated by the Seal's effect allows the group to find the trapped Unown.
