Gym Badges track your activities with different Gyms around the world. Each Gym has a different Badge. Players can acquire and level up a specific Badge by battling at that Gym, giving Berries to Pokemon at that Gym and spinning that Gym's Photo Disc. Better Badge awards you with better reward at that Gym.
- Each Gym has its own Badge.
