How many of us have gotten the Dragon badge?

I just got mine. I'm wondering how many others have?

Still working on ice (bronze) and I'm still silver in dark, steel, and fighting with a loooong way to go. I'm saving Smoochums since evolving them is the only realistic way for me to ever hit the ice badge.

Bronze on dragon...17 only.
But I do have gold for Dark...317
I did get silver for Ice last week, as I had a Jynx nest nearby.

Praying for a Jynx or Swinub nest assuming Swinubs do nest. Shellders this week which isn't bad and I'll get a couple from evos.

Good luck.
Swinub do nest...there was one on the other side of my city a couple of weeks ago, and I am still kicking myself for not travelling to get it. Now I am hoping that a nest change lands one nearer to me.

Silver on Fighting: 159
Silver on Dark: 144
Silver on Steel: 63
Silver on Dragon: 55

Got the Ice medal due to the many, many Swinubs you find in Europe.

Silver on fighting 133
Silver on dragon 118
Silver on Steel 88

And honestly I had forgot about medals I usually dont bother with some of the new darks that arent useful
but considering Im only bronze 29 I guess a change is in order

I think there is a chance they play into catching legendaries somehow.

Besides that the improved catch change lets me be a little more daring using the pinap berry on things like Dratini.

Would you speculate that the only medals relevant for legendaries will be the ones associated with their types - which would be Electric, Fire, Flying, Grass, Ice, Psychic, and Water in Gen I/II?

My pure off the wall guess is that it could be a total of all medals thus legendary trainer = chance at legendary Pokémon. But this is my own selfish wish.

im gold on everything except one type- ice, which im silver on. i didnt even realize the badge by type thing until i looked at it one day a few months ago. my most recent feats were dark a few days ago (murkrow did not make this easy by constantly popping out), and before that dragon and steel (once i realized i just started going for every magnemite that popped up. the rest of the types were relatively easy. the problem im havin with ice was in gen 1 all the first mon were just water (shellder, seel), so it was difficult catching them. now with swinhub around hes got me to about 135 so hopefully a few more weeks and ill have all the golds for that.

I have it. Have 234 Dragon type caught. The ones I am missing are:

Fighting 157/200
Steel 52/200
Ice 34/50

Ice mon are a nightmare for me, almost all of them I have are from eggs, and I am at level 36 already...Only have seen 2 Swinub since gen2 release (yes you can laugh hahah :D) and the steel ones are the same, a big pain to get for me...I would love to have a Piloswine and Sneasel.

I still need the following
Pikachu (they escape too much, so I often will pass up a pikachu - I may never get this gold)
Tiny Ratatta ( If not for Ditto, I'd gladly never catch another rat - I may never this this gold)
Ice (a little over 1/2 way to the gold - not many Ice mons on my walks to catch)
Fighting (getting close to gold-but I just do see many fighting types on my walks.)
Dark (will get it this weekend if I can get out there in-between the rain drops. I'll be very happy not having to catch any more Murcrow, those escape too much)

22 Dragon
59 Dark / Murkrows
59 Fighting
119 Rock
60 Steel
124 Fire
175 Electric

The rest are gold. Murkrows are useless but I still catch them for the dark badge just in case I'm fortunate to see a Larvitar in the wild.

Ice wasn't that hard since Swinubs are basically everywhere.

Larvitar is not a Dark type though, so the badge would only help you if you'd encounter a wild Tyranitar.

I am only missing three gold badges.

Fisherman - 175/300. I didn't really go out of my way to catch that many Magikarp during the water event.

Youngster - 276 /300

Dragon Tamer - 124 /200

Silver on Fighting: 131
Silver on Electric: 165
Silver on Dark: 73
Bronze on Steel: 24
Bronze on Ice: 34
Bronze on Dragon: 18

For the OP: Do we know if evolving an ice type like Smoochum or an electric like Pichu gives us credit for another mon in the same category? Or is it only counted once when it hatches?

Counts at evo too. If you evolve a Smoochum you get ice credit for Jynx.

This is the exact method I used with Igglybuff and Cleffa babies to finally obtain the fairy badge which is also a pretty rare type here.

663 on Dragons.

Medals prior to Gen2 were complete by Level 37.

I got a gold medal for all the 15 types. I still have a bronze for ice and steel since not many spawn at all or there isnt a nest for them near me. Leaving the dragon medal at only 7......I feel dragon will be the last medal I ever complete.

Wow! I didn't realize how vastly different the various biomes were.

I'm at 23 Dragon, and have long assumed that Gen3 will be my first real shot at that gold.

In contrast to OP, I have 401 Ice (of which 202 were Swinubs), 227 Dark, 64 Steel, and 201 Fighting (thanks to a great nest).

Remaining type medals are gold, and I'm at level 34 with 16591 catches+evolves+hatches.

If you think about it, it's even worse than the numbers indicate. I would go WAY out of my way to catch one of those rare type for my biome but I probably have stopped catching many things you would die to catch here.

So true. These days I'll catch a Rattata, Pidgey, or Weedle before I catch a Swinub. But only about 1/820 of my wild catches have been Dratini - and unless they're level 1, they get ultraballs.

Level 34 here. I just got my bronze dragon badge last week, and I have a bronze steel badge as well I'm working on. My silver badges are fighting, rock, fire, and ice; every other element is gold.

I got two dragons so far...

Dragon was the last type medal I got complete.

Now I only lack the rat-medal, but rats are rare where I live. Not caught one single tiny rat in four weeks! Got silver so far and gold is on track to be reached by the summer 2019 :-)
