Pkmn:Ribbon
Ribbons (Japanese: リボン), also known as Bows, are a common type of clothing in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. They appear as one of several types of equipable Items as well as clothing worn by Pokémon on the neck.
Ribbons are worn for their aesthetic function, which may help identify certain Pokémon as belonging to a Team, and may also grant a Pokémon additional powers. Ribbons may have different colors and patterns on them.
In 
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, Ribbons appear both as gameplay items and as cosmetic clothing for the Hero and Partner. In 
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, there are a special type of Bows of different colors that match the color of the Aura of a Pokémon, determined for the Hero through a Personality Test, which boost the Attack, Defense, Special Attack and Special Defense by 1 when worn.
