Another relatively easy one to earn, but it takes time. Main tip? Feed Them All. Well, okay, it's a bit more like this: Only the berries you feed to a pokemon in a gym count. You can only feed berries to pokemon in a gym that belongs to your team. You can feed up to a maximum of 10 berries to each pokemon. You can feed any pokemon that belongs to a team member, as well as your own. You can feed your team's pokemon from home, as long as you have a pokemon in the same gym - as last week's post showed. It's interesting, but really annoying if you accidentally feed a golden razzberry to a pokemon in a gym... just sayin'. Sometimes, not having a berry on hand to help catch a pokemon is also annoying - especially when you've just fed all yours to your team's pokemon - so think about that before you go all out stuffing their faces; the medal is pretty, but catching stuff is cool, too. Also, pokemon are little piggies when it comes to berries. And that...

I've been a little bit swamped, but I've managed a walk every day, and done some incidental pokemonning. This was not a bad way to start the morning:

On Tuesday, I managed to advance one of the new PokemonGo medals - the Berry Master. This is most definitely not to be confused with a stair master, although exercise was had while earning it. With silver under my belt, I now have to do another 900 or so feedings to get to gold. Tips on going for this medal? Feed ALL the Pokemons. ALL OF THEM. As many as you have berries for. As many as the game allows. And count your fingers. These things have no manners when it comes to berries.
