If you’re hunting all of the badges in Pokémon Go, Niantic has the next series of badges available. Previously, gold was the highest tier of badge available, but not players will have the opportunity to earn platinum ranks with them. These ranks will have players doing their best to complete every little portion of the game. Some requirements include capturing all Pokémon that come from a specific region or by competing and winning over 1,000 Great League battles.
