|---|---|
| 500 | First capture of a species |
| 1000 | Excellent throw |
| 100 | Every 100th capture of the same species |
| 300 | Using AR+ |
| 1500 | First capture of the Daily Pokémon |
| 1000 | Using a Master Ball |
| 6000 | Catching Pokémon daily for a week straight |

| 5 km | 1000 |
| 7 km | 1500 |
