Pokémon Unite medals meaning and how to earn all of them

In Pokémon Unite, players can form squads to participate in 5v5 games by picking up their favourite Pokémon. The goal is to train the Pokémon to defeat the opponents, collect the Aeos energy they drop and then deposit it into one of their opponents’ goal zones to score points. After the match time is over, the team with the higher number of points is the winner. 

After each game, players will get different medals that you can see under everyone’s name based on their achievements in the game. While they don’t give you any advantage or bonus in the Pokémon Unite, they definitely help showcase your skills to other players. Since no description is available for these medals in the game, players are confused about what do each medal in Pokémon Unite means and how to earn them.
