My current in-progress Ribbon Masters!

So close to finishing off with Midori the Skarmory, just partner mark and master rank ribbon to go! Artemis was a lucky find yesterday while trying to get the Partner Mark. She's got a way to go yet, but her first stop is to beat the Paldea league and ranked battles.

Opinion about Gen 4 Battle Tower?

I recently started a Pikachu / Raichu Ribbon Master (will eventually evolve it, but am in doubt if I should rn as he lacks some important moves such as Fake Out). The thing is, his IVs and Nature sucks balls (minus Speed nature with 2 IV on Speed). I am a bit worried if I am going to have a hard time, as even if I build a good team It may be not enough (I don't want to perfect breed rn as I don't have much free time to spare).

Right now, I was planning to use this Pikachu with Light Ball (114 speed sadly, I left Agility there if needed), DD Gyarados and Garchomp for Singles. For Doubles, I haven't made up my mind yet if I should go with Follow Me Clefable or Tailwind Crowbat.

How hard should it be for me? My original plan was to get everything up near the release of Pokémon Champions M-2 meta, but now it seems a bit too far fetched.

BDSP Contest Ribbons

I’m nearing the end of all my Ribbons journeys. The BDSP Contest ribbons are next on my list.

I’ve completed the game, caught Heatran and fully maxed all contest stats on my RM’s.

I can just about get through the Master Ranks but Brilliant Contests have stumped me.

From what I’ve read, I need max Sheen on them (easy enough if I make some awful poffins). I then see people saying you need 20 Champion stickers.

Is that really true? Like can I just get 1/2/3 stickers, or is 20 really necessary?

I graduated today and made my cap a National Ribbon!

As sentient who really likes Pokemon Ribbons, it felt like a no brainer to make my cap the symbol of overcoming hardships and challenges. Love how it turned out, too.

Pokémon XD: What level should I make sure all my mons are at before starting Mt Battle?

Going through all 100 battles in Mt Battle in Pokémon XD for the Johto starter. I know that at the end the opponents reach level 70 (higher than Colosseum), but that I gain XP normally through all the fights.

What level should I aim to be before starting, so that the XP I gain will be enough to get me appropriately leveled by the end?

For context, my team is currently:

  • Vaporeon
  • Houndoom
  • Claydol
  • Ampharos
  • Ursaring
  • Salamence

They all have high tier moves like earthquake and thunderbolt (none of the crap you get just from leveling up), so I'm hoping that'll give me a much needed edge. I'll also be pulling up the stats of each trainer so I know which mons to open with.

I decided to do five ribbon masters at once 😬

I got a bit carried away and decided to work on five ribbon masters at one time. Now to migrate them to Platinum!

Did the WiFi tower and this happened on the last battle.

I genuinely can't believe Froslass is THIS frail, but it works for the strat. Btw the mon in the back is my shadow Gallade.

Glacia stands at the peak

The journey started on December 10 2024 has finally come to an end. Glacia has obtained all 91 available ribbons and marks officially becoming a ribbon master. In the time it takes for winds and wakes to become available for ribbon masters I will be trying to obtain the champion title for Glacia.

I also plan on going back to hisui and having her solo the noble pokemon.

Captured below Lv. 70 and being above, does it still get the footprint ribbon?

Sorry, but someone has probably already asked this question, however, I searched and couldn't find any answer for this situation.

Ex.: My Dialga, which was originally captured at Lv. 65 and is currently at Lv. 81 and has never left Legends Arceus, can it still get the footprint ribbon in BDSP? Or was it necessary to have taken it to BDSP and evolved it there first?

I read somewhere that before the Switch, some games could maintain the original level information, but in some transfers this information was lost and in the game in question what prevailed was the level the Pokémon had reached at that moment.

Are there any other ribbons that involve level?

Do people skip the online ribbons for a ribbon master. Or is there a way to obtain them on original software

Gen 4 ribbon master

I’m looking to start a luxray ribbon master and was wondering if it can get the gold battle memory ribbon or is it impossible or can I only get a blue ribbon. Thank you in advance.

Edit : also same question with the contest memory ribbon.

My summer project (first time doing ribbons and necromancy)

I have an old Pokemon Emerald cartridge where i got my first shiny, having no absolute idea of what a shiny was, a few years ago (more than 20 lol). The cartridge is very dead but im planning to resurrect him on a specialized shop.

Now, since i really hope new Pokemon Champions regulation in around a month adds the Hoenn starters, i will like to do a journey around time and piracy to send this mighty chicken to the stadiums.

My main problem is, i don't own any game from 4th to 6th gen since my ex from high school have them all and i dont think going to ask for them 14 years later would be polite. So i plan to use a flash card with Platinum, HG and B2 roms for this games.

The good news, i have a friend that owns a 3ds with bank and will help me, also he has a few titles i dont own (X, OR and SWSH) to get me the easy ribbons from those games and trade bird back.

This would be my first time sending a Pokemon from such old games to new ones, my first time doing ribbons and also my first time trying to restore an old cartridge (in a specialized store, not like im doing it myself). So a lot of things may fail, but i belive it will work.

[I'm New] Does using Wimmfi servers to get the Wi-Fi Battle ribbons in Gen 4 make a Pokémon illegal to use in Play! Pokémon tournaments?

I've been a bit paranoid lately in knowing what flags these Pokémon as bannable in irl tournaments, but I don't want to risk it because it was always a childhood dream to do so, and risking a ban for such a dumb thing seems very stupid.

I am planning on making a ribbon master that can be competitive viable in the future, but some of the ribbons are "unobtainable" due to Nintendo ending it's servers. As I researched, people seem to be using community servers in the Gen 4 games in order to get those ribbons to the newer games. The thing is, I don't know if it may later make the ribbon master ineligible for participating in irl tournaments. Does anyone have experience on it?
