Hisui Ribbon

Memorial

Introduced in Gen VIII · Earnable today on a Switch game

A Ribbon awarded to a Pokémon that posed for a photograph in Hisui in the distant past.

Available in: Legends: Arceus

Where: Jubilife Village

Note: Obtained by preparing the Pokémon in Dagero's photo studio, even if no photos ultimately are taken. This Ribbon is not displayed in Generation VIII, nor in Pokémon HOME prior to version 3.0.0, and its only noticeable interaction within that generation is that it counts toward the 10 Ribbon types needed to unlock the Ribbon Syndicate in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl if the Pokémon is transferred there. Initially named the Pioneer Ribbon (パイオニアリボン) in the internal data of Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Title granted: [Nickname] of the Distant Past

Title granted: [Nickname] the Rank Master

Once-in-a-Lifetime Ribbon

Memorial

Introduced in Gen IX · No longer earnable for the first time

A rare Ribbon found extremely infrequently on Pokémon obtained in a Surprise Trade.

Note: According to the official guidebook, the chance for a Pokémon to be granted this Ribbon while being traded through Surprise Trade is intended to be 1/100; however, similarly to the Itemfinder Mark (prior to v2.0.1), no logic to grant the Ribbon appears to exist in the game's code, and there have been no verifiable reports of it being legitimately obtained.; Additionally, due to the prevalence of cheating (unless the logic can be properly found within the game's programming), it is incredibly difficult to prove this Ribbon as legitimately obtainable, as trading partners are random in Surprise Trade, and the sender may have used third-party tools to apply the Ribbon before trading, rather than it being legitimately applied during the trade.

Title granted: [Nickname] the One-in-a-Million
