PC Markings

[Aeroblast]

I've had thoughts about using it to mark various IVs, but I've never used it in practice. I guess it's an easy thing to forget.

Nowadays, I use them for IVs like everyone else. Back in D/P, I just used them to as labels to tell me which batch of eggs a baby came from.

Like, if a Pokemon was part of the first 5 eggs, they'd have the first symbol marked. If they were in the fourth batch of eggs, they'd have the 4th symbol marked, etc.

The only time I mark a Pokemon is if it has Pokerus on it and when it no longer has it. As for EV training, I put those Pokemon in a separate box.

I never used the PC markings because I don't see a point of using it at the moment.

I have seen people use them for maxed IVs, but I prefer to give each symbol a meaning, like the heart means it's one of my favorites, the square means a solid IV spread, star means it's great in battle, the diamond means there's a mega stone for it ... etc. That way I can just set the filter to which ones I am looking for and it makes finding them easier if I lose them in some random box.

 

[Mega Missingno]

never understood the point of those markings

I use them to show which of my Pokemon have max IVs! It's a lot easier to find specific Pokemon that way, especially if you have a lot of the same kind like I do.

 

[Draguinite]

I actually like your method...I just organize them by box, though.

 

[braixen]

i use them to note what ivs are perfect on the pokemon i breed, like a lot of people do. before i started doing that i didn't really use them for anything.

 

[Astinus]

I've only used them once in all my games. It was to mark a Glameow I bred for a friend that had a specific nature. Outside of that, I didn't see much use to them. Any Pokemon I want to mark as special goes into a special box or gets a nickname to differentiate them from others of the same species.

For what you do I think boxes would be better, because that's what I do for those criteria. I think the markings would be hard to look through.

I use them for IVs.

 

[Sevynn]

I'm currently using the markings to denote which Pokemon have how much IV, whether I've EV trained them and so on.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Before the latest gen I never used them for anything...but I've started marking my main team pokemon I've EV trained with a heart and a star to make sure I never mix them up.

I've used them to mark up the perfect Ivs in a pokemon since there are exactly six of them
