‘Pokemon Go’ Medal List: Every Badge Reward in the Game

‘Pokemon Go’ is available now for iOS and Android devices. (Nintendo)

In Pokemon Go, one of the many rewards players can receive throughout their gameplay are medals, and they come in bronze, silver, and gold. What are all the possible medals, and what is required to get them?

There are currently 28 different medals in Pokemon Go, the bronze ones being relatively easy to achieve and the gold being significantly more difficult. They’re mostly based on actions you’ll be performing throughout your day anyway, such as walking a certain distance, catching a certain number of Pokemon, hatching a certain number of eggs, etc.

Is there any benefit to getting these medals? Well, not really. You don’t get any XP from them, and they can’t be redeemed in the store for anything. They’re really just nice ways of giving the player goals to work towards, similar to how achievements work on video game consoles.

You can see your progress on these medals by visiting your player info page, which is accessed by hitting the avatar on the bottom left corner of the screen. Scroll all the way down, and you’ll see a bunch of circles with some progress made on them. When you first get started, this progress will be out of whatever the bronze requirement is.

Via data assembled from The Silph Road, here’s a breakdown of every single medal in Pokemon Go and what you need to do to get it.
