What are the shape buttons in the Pokemon summaries and what do they do?

Question

I know you can click them and that the star one is red when shiny, but what do they do, like for example does it do anything when I click the triangle one? just to show what I am talking about:

see the buttons in the corner, the circle, triangle, square, heart, star, and rhombus, what do they do? Thanks!:)

Answer 1

Those are just markers for your Pokemon, no use other than that. I guess they could be useful for telling Pokemon apart though.

Thanks jarjar:)

Answer 2

Those are called markings. You can change while using the PC, and they're useful sorting your Pokémon, or keeping track of your favorites, stuff like that.
Hope that this helped.
