Medals to Grind During Pokemon GO's Aquatic Paradise Event

Last on this Pokemon GO Aquatic Paradise Event Guide are the medals that you can grind during this event.

Considering players need to grind for Platinum medals in Pokemon GO, here are some of the medals players can complete during the Aquatic Paradise event.

Pokedex Medals

If you have yet to register any of the featured Pokemon for the Aquatic Paradise event, doing so will add progress toward their respective regional Pokedex medal.

Each regional Pokedex requires players to register every Pokemon from that specific region except for the mythical Pokemon.

Pokemon Type Medals

Catching any of the Water-type Pokemon during the Aquatic Paradise event will add progress toward finishing the Swimmer Medal.

Accomplishing the Swimmer Medal comes after a player has caught 2,5000 Water-type Pokemon in Pokemon GO.
