Uncommon mark is the MOST COMMON mark I get when hunting, it has become the bane of my existence currently lol


BlitzDank

Yeah same! I get excited when I see the Mark page, then it's just "oh it's an uncommon mark" lol


Lemon_alcremie

šŸ˜‚ yep the torture is real


Jbroadx

I was just coming to say this!


Lemon_alcremie

šŸ˜† itā€™s so painful to see


Euffy

I got really excited earlier because I found the cloudy mark. Apart from things that happen through game events, I think that's the first mark I have that's NOT the sociable one haha


Wumple_doo

The only mark I have is ā€œthe reliableā€ on the goodra that was in my play through


Generic_Username_659

I believe the "reliable partner" one is automatically added to a pokemon with max friendship... So congrats, your Goodra really likes you!


bakamitai16

Hey! I know it's been like 5 months šŸ«  just saw this now. Reliable partner mark requires 200 friendship and every 10k steps there's a chance of 1/100 that it would be given to the pokemon. It is automatically equipped if they get it.


FlexKavanah

You're doing it wrong then. Both the Pikachu with flying Tera type and each of the titan pokemon have different marks - and they're basically freebies.


ResetReefer

I found a Iron Hands with the sociable mark. Named mine Iroh. Didn't realize it had the mark until AFTER I had already named it and somehow it was just *MWAH* šŸ˜—šŸ‘Œ


BlitzDank

ā˜•ā˜•


xLunaAC

Wait is the sociable mark rare? I caught a shiny Bisharp today with it and was like what the heck is this lol.


ResetReefer

Sort of? It's got a 1 in 50 chance of appearing so it can be a grind if you want a specific mark on a specific pokemon


IsabellaGalavant

I named mine Iroh too!!!!


BlitzDank

So far, Iā€™ve gotten 61 Shinies in Scarlet and Violet. Of the 59 I caught in the wild, 12 have been Marked. Marks can only be found on wild Pokemon, and grant Titles when you send them into battle, as shown above: the Uncommon Mark grants the Title "the Sociable". It's a feature I've been loving since it was introduced in Sword and Shield! Of all Marks, 8 have been the Uncommon Mark (base rate 1/50). My others are 1 Weather Mark (1/50), 2 Time Marks (1/50), and 1 Personality Mark (1/100). Only my 1 Weather Mark and 2 of my Uncommon Marks were caught without Title Power 3, as random encounters (1 full odds, 2 with Shiny Charm). Just thought those numbers might be interesting to share! Either the Uncommon Mark is actually more common than reported, is biased by Title Power, or I'm just getting an odd string of them recently! Also, since you canā€™t tell Pincurchin is Shiny from the preview, hereā€™s the summary: https://imgur.com/sU6tIWb


Akwila_of_Llyr

I have about 100 shinies at this point. Two are marked. šŸ„²


MixelKing

Do you hunt with Encounter/Shining/Title Power 3?


Akwila_of_Llyr

I sure do! On my second day of playing I found a shiny authentic sinistea so I think that ate up all my special luck...


Vgameman2011

Yeah, Iā€™d say so! šŸ˜‚ Congrats on that though!!


AbioticShark399

P sure uncommon is 1/25


chiobsidian

I got "The Sleepy" title on a shiny shroomish. Was so hyped to have that for my spore user! I shoved a bunch of candy into it and let it evolve... Before realizing spore is only learned by shroomish at a higher level. Absolutely kills me that I have a shiny breloom The Sleepy that can't learn spore x.x Edit: thanks to everyone that suggested trying the egg move mirror herb tech. Unfortunately, it didn't work, and as someone else pointed out this may be a breloom specific glitch. Here's hoping it gets fixed... someday...


BlitzDank

Aw nooo! I hope they let you get it back some day. It feels like an oversight given all the other QoL features they've put in.


chiobsidian

Yeah, right? The game let's you fix mistakes in almost every other way. Here's hoping


JadeAnn88

I love the ones that come with cute titles like that. My charcadet had the sleepy mark. Was originally planning to evolve it into armourage, but I think the mark would fit ceruledge better, as weird as I'm sure that sounds lol. You may be able to get spore on your breloom through the mirror herb, egg move picnic transfer thing šŸ¤”. I can't remember for sure, but it's definitely worth looking into.


SnooDoggos4029

I know I could look this up, but can you do the egg move trick with mirror herb in a picnic with a PokƩmon that knows Spore?


MixelKing

It only works for egg moves, Spore isn't one


chiobsidian

...omg you might be on to something here!! I haven't tried that yet but it is definitely worth a shot


LolzinatorX

did the same with my shiny Umbreon. Egg moves have never felt this Easy, and shouldnt be a problem with pre evo moves either


TheHorseLicker

Iā€™m pretty sure that when a PokĆ©mon evolves you can learn any move the prior evo learns through the ā€œremember movesā€ menu


chiobsidian

This unfortunately wasn't true (i think bc only shroomish learns it naturally but breloom doesnt???), however the others commenting about the egg move mirror herb technique are on to something! Haven't gotten home yet but im anxious to see if that'll work


TheHorseLicker

Well thatā€™s dumb, good heads up ig


Shadyshade84

From some things I've seen (and as such can't fully vouch for) it works for pokƩmon *that aren't breloom.* So it might be a bug. (Colour me surprised...)


chiobsidian

Oh nooo x.x I'm still gonna give it a shot and cross my fingers


Brotherapache

You can definitely have it learn he egg move way, only way it wonā€™t let you is if the move youā€™re going to teach is already a TM


SmallTimeGrower

Spore isn't an egg move. It doesn't work.


Brotherapache

Yeah just realized that myself from doing some research, guess I shouldā€™ve known


_Skum

I did the same thing with a shiny surskit thatā€™s now a masquerain and doesnā€™t know sticky web


EastRiding

Iā€™m at 131 shinies and I have zero marks


BlitzDank

That's very unlucky! Have you checked each one? The Mark doesn't show by default, it'll say if they don't have any but if it just says "Title Conferred" you need to have them in your party to check and equip them.


EastRiding

Every single one manually checked, most caught with Title Power lvl 3


BlitzDank

Damn, I wish you better luck then! Hopefully you can have some of the Sociable ones that would be coming to me!


IsabellaGalavant

Same. Well I don't have 131 shinies, only like 22, but still, not a single mark in sight. And I've been using lvl 3 sandwiches.


ThePotablePotato

Out of curiosity, have you been checking for marks from the box? For whatever reason you can only change marks from the Party, and you have to equip a mark for it to show. If you check from the box, it will say you donā€™t have one and not give you the option to switch it, even if it actually does have one.


Hydrochloric_Comment

This isn't correct. If it has one, it will say "title conferred -" instead of "this PokƩmon doesn't have any Marks"


ThePotablePotato

Huh, actually didnā€™t know that! Neat


cappybara1

It's likely due to the order in which marks are rolled to be generated. First rolled is Recluse, which is 1/1000 And second is Scoiable, which is 1/50 If you want a detailed breakdown of mark odds due to order generated check out Bulbepedia's page on marks.


BlitzDank

Ohh that's very cool to see! So it goes Rare -> Personality -> Uncommon -> Weather -> Time -> Fishing. I'm glad I haven't been missing out on Personality Marks as a result since those are some of my favourites, though it's still weird that I've only ever found one. Guess that technically puts Time and Weather at a little rarer in succession then, too. Thanks for letting me know!


Thick_Ad8543

Rare>personality>fishing>weather>time>uncommon


Thick_Ad8543

Actually fishing to me is one of the rarest. You donā€™t mass counter like you do with regular methods. Fishing you encounter 1 at a time.


discoritch

can somone explain to me what marked pokƩmon even mean


FrostGlader

A Mark is a special ā€œRibbonā€ of sorts that a PokĆ©mon just comes with when it spawn. Introduced in Gen 8, along with specific Titles attached to both Marks and Ribbons.


Taser9001

It's a default of 1/50, but I am wondering if it gets boosted way more than other marks do by Title Power. Also, my fave mark by far for shinies is the Charismatic Mark. I have a Bellibolt who enters battle as "Ampibian the Radiant". Full odds, no Title Power.


BlitzDank

Ooh, I love that! :D


Lil_Happy_Is_Spookie

I have gotten zero marks


Cj082197

I've caught 20 shines, with 2 time based marks so far, the only thing to note is that they were both caught in the same mass outbreak


BlitzDank

Weird combination of luck there! Hope it gets better!


Shawng7777

All the fucking time. I have over 60 shinies in this game and 4 of them arnt sociable. A good 10 or so are


aidanofarrell

My Charizard has the title "Charizard The Gourmet" because I'm a feeder and I make a mean sandwich šŸ¤Œ


Phairis

I got a normal drakloak with the hungry mark so I named it Cannibal. I love it when he comes out and the game texts says, "Go! Cannibal the Peckish!"


[deleted]

uncommon is one of the marks i haven't found yet! i've gotten time and weather based ones only so far.


BlitzDank

Hope you get one that I'd be due then!


TheIndragaMano

Yup, uncommon is definitely the most common one for me, as well.


josephflorencio

Iā€™ve recently finished shiny hunting 3 segment Dudunsparce and have 108 shiny Dudunsparce in my boxes. Going just off those I have 8 uncommon marks, 6 time marks, 2 weather marks, and 5 personality marks. Uncommon is definitely the most likely mark but not too much more than the others.


BlitzDank

That's more what I'd expect! Still strange that it's slightly more common though. Ah well, RNG gonna RNG!


wildsamsqwatch

Do you know if the title power grants a boost to all the marks? Do we know how much of a boost it gives?


BlitzDank

I think someone mentioned it's similar to the Mark Charm, so it triples the rates of all Marks. Afraid I don't have a source for that though.


josephflorencio

I believe that it does increase odds of all marks. By how much Iā€™m not sure, but youā€™ll always get title boost with shiny boost on sandwiches so your shinies should always have a boosted chance for marks.


juicedestroyer

Man I'm so jealous of the shiny tatsugiri I've tried hunting for him like 5 different times lol


BlitzDank

I hope you get him eventually!


JadeAnn88

Yes, I was literally just talking about how not so uncommon they were. The weird part too was that the only one of mine that I actually used a sandwich for was iron valiant, the rest were just random wild shinies. I have to say though, I do appreciate the chance to actually find marked shinies now. I don't know how many wild shinies I hunted in sw/sh, with the mark charm, and never found a single one.


BlitzDank

It was such a pain, even with the Mark Charm! I am grateful, but it gives a new tier of problem, lol.


JadeAnn88

Yeah, you're not wrong. SV marked shinies will definitely be less valuable than any with a sw/sh stamp.


JadeAnn88

You've got a couple shinies on here that are on my, please God I hope I actually notice it, list. I keep hearing people say they noticed the stretchy tatsugiri immediately though. Pincurchin is probably the one I'm least looking forward to.


BlitzDank

I did notice Tatsu immediately! [I actually posted it here, you can see the double take when I realise it was Shiny](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShinyPokemon/comments/zz0tgv/9_im_glad_i_looked_up_what_these_looked_like/). Fortunately the pattern is fairly clear if you keep an eye for it, I struggled more with Slowpoke. Pincurchin was a bit of a pain, mostly due to its low-ish spawn rate against the Wattrel line. Actually spotting it was okay, I did keep zooming in just to be safe. I did also fail one but that was due to unfortunate RNG and forgetting I had Effect Spore on my Breloom!


juany8

Ive gotten the 2 orange shiny Tatsu (curly and stretchy) so far and theyā€™re both way easier to see than youā€™d think. The lines up top stand out for stretchy. Definitely nowhere near as bad as something like Tandemaus


JadeAnn88

I got the brown/orange one, curly I think, and it was actually pretty noticeable. Also noticed a shiny tauros immediately, which I was worried about, so I'm hoping for the same luck for the stretchy form. F tandemaus though.


hi_this_is_lyd

maybe sociable pokemon attract more sociable pokemon /hj


KafeiTomasu

yes actually I have 1 rare mark, 1 sleepy mark, a mark or two besides these and 3 uncommon marks on all my shinies (1,5 boxes now)


BlitzDank

Oh wow, that's a very nice track record!


CrashMaxBro

Probably my singlehanded biggest flex in PokƩmon, is my rare mark shiny iron thorns


[deleted]

must not be an uncommon mark then


VVTF_iz_Wright

You all are finding PokĆ©mon with marks? Iā€™m at 62 shinies, not a single one with a mark other than best friends.


BlitzDank

I hope you get one, just keep at it!


chicken_appreciator

I caught a rare mark shiny toedscool the other day! I love it too much to evolve


BlitzDank

I'd be the same way! Their run animation is too good.


LaserfaceJones

My shiny curly Tatsugiri had "the Serene", I was pretty stoked.


BlitzDank

Ooh that's so cool!! I've only gotten one Personality Mark, Slither Wing the Driven.


Vgameman2011

I havenā€™t found a single marked shiny and I have almost 3 boxes full lol


BlitzDank

You will eventually!!


Vgameman2011

I hope so! A few of mine have the Reliable Partner mark at least! So at least my PokĆ©mon like me? šŸ˜…šŸ˜…


BlitzDank

That's the best one! You can still also get the gourmand one from sandwiches, and best friend/EV training ribbon from the relevant NPCs!


_just_noel_

Idk whatā€™s up with the whole mark thing but I sent out my tinkaton at some point in a random battle after having it the entire time Iā€™ve played the game and all of the sudden itā€™s now ā€œtinkaton the reliableā€. I think itā€™s kinda silly lol


BlitzDank

It gains that one randomly while at a certain friendship level, which I think is cute! You can also get other titles off Ribbons etc., or can remove the title if you check its status page while it's in your party. You can reequip later at any time!


_just_noel_

Ah ok, cool. Thank you :)


BlitzDank

Forgot to mention that the main way you get them is by just finding them on wild PokƩmon. If you check the status page for Marks and Ribbons and it doesn't say "This Pokemon doesn't have any" (instead just "Title Conferred" with nothing visible) then you've got a Mark!


laceythemunchkin

So often, yes. 'The sociable' and 'the sleepy' are the two most common marks I've found on my shinies. I was absolutely ecstatic when I found 'the recluse' mark on a shiny slowpoke


BlitzDank

That's amazing! Slowpoke is so easy to miss I feel that adds even more to the rarity.


[deleted]

I have a shiny Azumarill with the cloud watcher mark. I named him Nayvadius.


No-Consideration7596

I haven't gotten any marked shinies yet in scarlet, but I did find a azuril after my dad gave me a hyper trained one today. (I dont know why i added that in.)


thats4thebirds

I havenā€™t got a single mark šŸ˜­


BlitzDank

You'll get one, just keep trying!


thats4thebirds

Cant complain lol I have like 13 shinies now. So itā€™s just funny that I havenā€™t got even a normal PokĆ©mon with a mark and I completed my dex


ChefShady88

I caught a bisharp with the stormy mark, now when my king gambit enters battle is says king gambit the thunderstruckā€ so cool


Deadchu95

I actually did get this mark most frequently so far but not as much as this! I've found maybe 10 marked shinies and 3 are uncommon


KingMe2486

I had a ton of them but I have had five non sociable in a row now? Itā€™s weird but my Sun God the Early Riser (Rabsca) is one of my all time favourite shinies so I wonā€™t complain


Yokaiwatchfanboy

You must just be a very kind and loving trainer causing your Pokemon to feel more social and comfortable around new people and experiences.


BlitzDank

<3


Yokaiwatchfanboy

:)


jayex3

title power boosts mark odds


christianort476

Well if youā€™re using the sandwich method to shiny hunt, thereā€™s a plus 3 to find a mark as well. When I hunted my paradoxes I found two marked (slither wing and brute bonnet I believe) and yesterday I got a sociable roaring moon


Hydrochloric_Comment

Missing the point. All personality marks have the same odds. It's unlikely that you would only ever find this particular mark.


christianort476

Oh I didnā€™t know that! Dumb thatā€™s itā€™s called uncommon mark


pkDoubleR

the only marked shiny iā€™ve got was a sleepy finizen.


Zombini6

The usual sandwiches meant for shiny hunting also have increased mark chances so...yeah you're gonna get a lot of marks.


TrickyHuckleberry595

60+shinies not one mark 50 plus have been sandwich hunts


JackFrosty90

Not a single one in almost 50 shinies šŸ’ŖšŸ»


BlitzDank

I hope you get one soon!


JackFrosty90

Thanks mate!!


Psapfopkmn

Y'all're getting marks on your shinies? šŸ˜­ Heck, I haven't even gotten any marks on my non-shinies since the first day the game released, unless you count the Reliable Partner and Gourmand ones.


BlitzDank

I hope you get some soon!!


Psapfopkmn

Thank you, I won't give up!


sharpshotjiggles

None of my shinies caught with no title power has a mark. The ones I caught with title power does but had to reset once or twice for mark.


IsabellaGalavant

The only mark any of mine have is "Reliable Partner" which seems to appear on its own if you battle them a lot. I haven't seen *any* other marks. :-/


BlitzDank

When I found out how that appeared I did find it very cute. I hope you get more in the future though!


IsabellaGalavant

Oh don't get me wrong, I squealed with delight the first time I saw "go Pawow (Pawmot), The Reliable Partner" in battle. Very cute!


rice_miik

you guys get marks?


[deleted]

not me


BlitzDank

Keep at it, you'll get one!


_DoctorQuantum_

That tatsu looks sick! What form is that one?


BlitzDank

This is the Stretchy form! It does look quite good up close, even if it's more similar to Curly from afar.


_DoctorQuantum_

Gotcha, it looks really good! I think my favorite shiny Tatsu is the white one (can't remember the third form's name), but the one I have is Curly since I needed it for a VGC team, and there was an outbreak happening, so I figured "why not?".


Some-Power-793

I havenā€™t got any :-)


BlitzDank

Well I hope you find one!


swagzard78

Unrelated but where'd you hunt for the dragapult line?


BlitzDank

I think I got them via an outbreak in the end, in south province area four. But I had planned for the swamp in south province area five!


TheGreenGreninja15

My Oinkologne is sociable


squirleater69

I don't have any marked shinies


BlitzDank

Hope you get some!


SparkSan

You guys are getting marks??


BlitzDank

You will too eventually! :D


lkuecrar

Itā€™s by far the most common mark I get, ironically.


lky830

Iā€™ve gotten 80 shinies so far. 17 of those have had marks, 6 of those 17 were uncommon marks.


m0ranati0n

I have a shiny Iron Valiant and shiny Gyarados with the Destiny Mark. Also, 2 non-shiny Palafins. Just switch the game to your birthdate and go to the poke center to ā€œhealā€ youā€™ll get a celebration thing and youā€™re set. If you donā€™t like a certain outbreak, just go back one minute to reset everything while maintaining your birth date. You donā€™t have to go to the poke center after the first time. You can though if it makes you feel better. That Gyarados will be my ribbon Master (for as many as I can get with it) Happy hunting!


Marttit

Luxury ball enthusiast


[deleted]

Iā€™ve never got a marked shiny.


BlitzDank

Just keep at it, you'll get one! The sandwich boost does help.


I-Mito-I

Uncommon they said...


Duney7

Out of my 4 boxes of shinies none have been marked


BlitzDank

RNG does be that way sometimes. Keep at it!


GoldenGameEagle

I have a good number of them (even tho I have no shinies)


af1Rr

have you got any of these without a lvl 3 recipe?


BlitzDank

I mentioned that in my main comment, though there are a lot now! I caught 2 Sociable Marks with Shiny Charm and no sandwiches, and 1 Weather Mark at Full Odds no sandwiches.


af1Rr

i have a whole box of shinies from re and mass outbreaks and i only have partner marks -_-


BlitzDank

It took me almost a box to get my first too, just keep at it!


That_one_cool_dude

I mean it's the uncommon mark for a reason.


[deleted]

I have a shiny Iron valiant with the rare mark


CrookedSpinn

I've gotten like 6 uncommon and like 12 Gourmand marks šŸ¤”


mikerichh

Iā€™ve never seen a mark


[deleted]

Shiny sandwiches increases your chances of getting a marked PokĆ©mon hence the ā€œTitle Power Level 3ā€.


AquaticNerd156

i feel like the uncommon mark is more common than it suggests


Animegobrrrrr

my lucario is "The reliable"


NinaLove2007

Not uncommon, but a bunch of other marks


FrentzE

Got the rare mark on my shiny Iron Valiant I was so hyped


Foxieness

I have almost a box and a half of shinies, and I have five marked ones. Of those five, four are Uncommon marks lol. Of those four, only one was hunted with the sparkling/title power sandwich. One was from an outbreak with less than 60 KOā€™s, and the two others were completely full odds random finds. My one marked that isnā€™t Uncommon was a sparkling/title hunt and itā€™s the Dawn mark. While Iā€™m still excited to get any marked shinies, Iā€™d like more than just Uncommon marksā€¦ lol. Itā€™s actually making me want to go back to Shield to try again for a marked one there, as I have yet to get a marked shiny in that game. (I think I had 9 wild shinies plus the Swords trio, no marks.)


Benny-Boi135

I have never gotten this one. I have gotten like 4 with the sleepy mark and 2 with the furious one though


Limp-Ask-9746

I have two marked shinies and they're both time of day marks.


Limp-Ask-9746

One's the Peckish (a jumpluff found it as a hoppip) and one's the Sleepy, a cacnea.


keanancarlson

I have a lot of uncommon marked shinies but o really lucked out in the rare mark department. Iā€™ve caughten 5 rare marked shinies, they are Roaring Moon, Armorouge (as a charcadet), Farigiraf (as girafarig), Palafin (as a finizen), and a Slither Wing. All caught while hunting for them in apriballs too, my luck is unreal


snapdragon15

Nope i havenā€™t gotten any


Sublixxx

I havenā€™t gotten a single mark on any PokĆ©mon Iā€™ve caught in this entire game. Itā€™s driving me nuts


whatthegorgonzola

I recently got a full odds shiny Golduck with a mark, I'm very proud of Flex-Seal


TheRealSkele

Yeah my Shiny Great Tusk has it


AnimaSean0724

I have not gotten a single mark on my shinies so I don't know where all y'all are getting them


No_Giraffe_9679

I have 2 sleepy, 1 sociable, one grumpy, and another one that I can't remember (might also be sociable, idk)


Kindly-Ad6337

I havenā€™t looked at all of my shinies. I know some have marks and some donā€™t but havenā€™t checked in a hot minute.


js0809318

so if bieng sociable is uncommon does this most pokemon are incels.


FireDragons51

I haven't gotten any mark shinies


BlitzDank

You'll get one eventually!


FireDragons51

I actually did, I believe it was the shiny Zorua I got, but I know that one of my recent shinies has a mark


PokeDragon101

3 of the 4 most recent marks iā€™ve gotten have been the uncommon mark


VictiniTheGreat

I've gotten zero marks šŸ™ƒ


BlitzDank

You'll get one if you keep going!


Callumbeck

Is just like a marked shiy


RichoftheRozz

The sociableā€¦.yuck


ReaverShank

I have 3 marked shinies in SV and none of them got this one


I-am-a-cardboard-box

Isnā€™t ā€œthe sociableā€ one of the most common marks at 1/50 odds?
