The Pioneer medal is awarded for capturing distinct portals. Only your very first capture of any one portal counts towards this medal, unlike Liberator, which counts every capture regardless of whether you’ve captured that same portal before.
The “Captured” layer can help you find portals you haven’t capture yet for this medal.
