To view your badges in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, just follow these simple steps:

  1. Open the Map using the Y button
  2. Zoom out all the way with ZL
  3. Hover the Magnifying Glass over a Gym Leader, Team Star Base, or Titan you’ve beat to see its badge.

The icons are numbered in the order you beat them, and you can use the D-Pad to move between badges. When you’re done viewing your badges, you can easily zoom back in and set your destination to the location of your next big battle.

There are a grand total of 18 badges in the newest Pokemon games, eclipsing Heart Gold and Soul Silver’s 16 badges from Kanto and Johto. In addition to the Elite 4, there is a final battle after beating the last Team Star Base and last Titan. Pokemon seems to be moving back towards filling a game with lots of activities, although the execution leaves something to be desired.

That’s everything we have on viewing your badges in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Check out some of our other Scarlet and Violet content, like beating the Cortondo Gym, the location of Dusk Stone, and where to buy Luxury Balls.
