To determine an origin mark: 1. If a pokemon form has a previous evolution from within the same generation, use the mark of the previous evolution. This should be recursive within the same generation. 2. If a pokemon form has no previous evolution from within the same generation, look at the encounters of the pokemon form from this generation and use the mark of the earliest game you can encounter that form in from that generation. 3. If there are no encounters for the pokemon form from this generation, look to see if a previous evolution has an encounter from this generation, and use the mark of the earliest game from this generation that the previous evolution is encounterable in. 4. If there are no encounters for the pokemon form or its evolution line from this generation, use the mark of the earliest game of the generation is marked as being introducted in. 5. If there is no mark for the earliest game of the generation, then it has no origin mark.
