If you go to the summary of a POKEMON you have, there under it's picture and under it's name and level is a row of pale grey symbols - a circle, triangle, square, heart, star and diamond.

WHAT ARE THEY FOR?! I've searched all over and can't find the answer.

All my pokemon have these symbols and they all look the same - except for Haunter who has the star shape coloured black. Does this mean he is shiny?

In that case what do the other symbols mean?

Thanks!

Whenever I trade for shinies online, I find that they have a marking or two usually. Some collectors find it convenient to mark them for some sorting reason-sometimes just so they know where their shinies are.

I normally give my Shinys a "star marking", aside from the one they already have. I find it easier to keep track of them this way. XD
