It is shaped like a tree and a skull, with the roots composing the upper jaw of the skull.
Badge Case[]
The player needs somewhere to store their Badges. Older Pokémon games displayed the Badges on the Trainer Card, while newer games display them in a separate Badge Case. A separate Badge Case allows for the Badge images to be larger and therefore more detailed, but it would need to be made from scratch.
It has not yet been decided how the Badges will be presented in-game (either on the Trainer Card or in a Badge Case or some other way).
Below are possible designs for Badge presentations. See also the Trainer Card page for designs of the Trainer Card that include spaces for Badges. Feel free to add your own Badge presentation designs below. Please do not delete anyone else's images!
The artist might be implying an animation where the badge "flies" into your badge case.

Victory Road Badge Gate[]
When the player reaches Victory Road, they will be checked to make sure they have all eight Badges. Only with all eight Badges can they proceed.
This Badge check is traditionally in the form of an NPC who blocks the player's path if they don't have enough/the correct Badges. However, it has been proposed that this may instead be some kind of door, which must be unlocked by placing the Badges into special slots in it. In the case of the interlocking Badges idea, which uses the Badges to form a larger design, this would be the time when the Badges are shown interlocking.
It has not yet been decided whether there will be a special screen or animation for the Badge check.
Below are possible designs for the Badge Gate. Feel free to add your own. Please do not delete anyone else's images!
