Earning a bronze medal for registering five unique Pokémon to the Pokédex
Medals are in-game achievements Trainers earn for reaching certain gameplay milestones. A Trainer's medals are displayed on their profile page. When a Trainer earns a medal, an animated pop-up displays in the Map View, similar to the one when a Trainer levels up.
Each medal has four tiers: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. Some medals award Trainers with extra bonuses when they are earned, such as an increased chance of successfully catching certain Pokémon types or unlocking wardrobe pieces for purchase.
List of medals
A Trainer's medals are split into two sections: general milestones and catching specific Pokémon types. Medals are first sorted in order of tier. Medals at the same tier are then usually sorted by the order in which the related mechanic was added to the game.
General medals
The first section displays medals for general tasks and milestones. These include catching Pokémon, battling in Gyms, challenging other Trainers or Team GO Rocket, and completing each regional Pokédex.
Most of these medals are initially hidden until the player begins progressing them towards the bronze tier. The following medals will always appear even if the player has made no progress on them: Jogger, Collector, Scientist, Breeder, Backpacker, Battle Girl, Ace Trainer and Best Buddy.

Pokémon types
The second section displays medals for catching Pokémon with different types. Each medal corresponds to a specific type. Catching a dual-type Pokémon contributes progress towards both medals of the Pokémon's two types.
These medals all share the same catch requirements:
- 10 catches for a type's bronze medal,
- 50 catches for a type's silver medal,
- 200 catches for a type's gold medal, and
- 2,500 catches for a type's platinum medal.
Earning a new tier for a type's medal increases the Trainer's capture rate for Pokémon of that type by 10%. If a Pokémon has two types, the game will average the catch bonus trainer has for those two types.

Trivia
The original Pokémon type medals
- The medals for catching a certain number of each Pokémon type were originally generic bronze, silver, and gold medals. Version 0.41.2 replaced them with new medals that showed the corresponding Pokémon type in the medal itself. The generic medals have remained unused since then.
- The Ace Trainer medal was originally obtainable by training Pokémon in team-owned Gyms. Training was removed during the Gym rework. This medal was made available again when Trainer Battles were introduced.
- The medal was still shown in game, keeping the progress when it was unavailable.
- Before the introduction of Team GO Rocket Leaders, the Hero medal description said "Defeat Team GO Rocket Grunts".
- Most of medals are named after Trainer Classes from the main game series.
