Pokémon GO: All badges and medals at a glance

In Pokémon GO, you can not only catch and battle Pokémon, but also collect badges. Depending on your level, this can take a while.

Badges in Pokémon GO: Here you can find your personal medals

You can start collecting badges as soon as you start Pokémon GO for the first time. You can find out which medals you already have via the trainer menu:

  1. To do this, tap your trainer profile at the bottom left and scroll down a bit.
  2. Here you will find all available badges and see exactly which medals you already have.
  3. Tap one of the badges to get more information about your progress and the conditions for the next medal level.
  4. There is also a special feature with the capture badges, for which you have to catch a certain number of Pokémon of a certain type: If you have received a bronze medal, the probability of catching Pokémon of this type increases by 1. With a silver medal, it increases by 2 and with a gold medal, it increases by 3. The more medals you collect, the easier it is for you to catch strong Pokémon.
