Just out of curiosity, in which order did you get all your type medals to golden status?
My biome is so dry that I got fire and ground to gold before I got normal, and I am still far from getting the dragon one despite all the recent vibrava. I don't remember all, but judging from each medal's total, my gold medals order by first-to-last acquired is:

Hm, you more than double my total amount of catches but I stopped catching everything on sight a long time ago because of a very short supply of pokeballs in my area. I always end up throwing away potions and revives to make space for pokeballs and these days I only run 250 max potions and 270 max revives.
