View source for Badge

A '''Badge''' is an item which denotes a {{BLink|Pokémon Trainer}} as having defeated a [[Gym Leader]].

Trainers need to collect a certain number of [[Gym]] Badges in order to qualify for a region's [[Pokémon League]]. Young Trainers usually begin their initial Pokémon journey by traveling from city to city in order to collect them. Badges are small enough to fit easily between one's thumb and index finger and can be pinned to a shirt or kept in a Badge case.

==Effects==
===Stat boost===
Some Badges boost a certain stat or stats of the player's Pokémon. The stat or stats are multiplied by 1.1.

===Obedience===
Badges affect a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s behavior. {{BLink|Outsider Pokémon}} over a certain {{BLink|level}} will refuse to obey the player without the appropriate Badge.

===HMs===
While Trainers can teach their Pokémon [[TM Locations|HM]] moves and use them in battle, Trainers require the appropriate Badge to use them in the overworld.

===Poké Mart stock===
The number of Badges a Trainer possesses affects which items {{BLink|Poké Mart}}s sell. The more Badges, the more items that become available for purchase, with more expensive items generally appearing after more Badges are obtained.

===Pokémon League===
In order to enter the [[Pokémon League]] and challenge the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player must have all eight Badges from that region.
