FAQ · COMMON QUESTIONS

Medal FAQ

How many medals are there in the game?

There are 72 tracked medals as of May 2026 — 18 type catch-rate medals, 10 regional Pokédex medals, 13 battle medals, plus exploration, social, Rocket, event, and Mega Evolution medals. Each has a Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum tier.

Which medals actually give a gameplay bonus?

Only four groups: the 18 type medals (10–40% catch-rate boost), Hero + Purifier (extra Premier Balls in Rocket battles, stacking to +8), Showcase Star at Platinum (Pikachu, Ph.D. encounter), and each Vivillon Collector regional sub-medal (Scatterbug encounters). Every other medal grants only XP and themed avatar items.

What is the hardest medal to grind?

Pilot at Platinum (10,000,000 km of trade distance) and Gym Leader at Platinum (15,000 hours defended) are the two extreme outliers. Among catch medals, Dragon and Steel are the slowest because their wild spawn rates are very low — most progress comes from raid encounters, hatched eggs, and Spotlight Hour windows.

Do medals give XP every tier?

Yes — Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum each grant a flat XP reward when you cross the threshold. The exact XP scales with tier and category. Stacking multiple tier-ups during a Lucky Egg window is a high-leverage move when grinding evolutions, raids, or a Community Day.

Where can I track medal progress?

In-game, your Trainer Profile → Pokédex flips through every medal with current progress. Hundo Hunter Pro lets you import your medal snapshot and project how many catches or raids until your next tier, plus highlights the gameplay-bonus medals so you can prioritize them.
