Hey! Pull Shark usually needs a few things:

1. Achievements enabled

Go to Profile → Settings → Profile and turn on Show Achievements on your profile.

2. Merged PRs, not just closed

Open each PR and confirm the status is Merged (purple merge icon), not only Closed.

3. Give it time

The badge can take from a few minutes up to several hours after the qualifying merges. Refresh your profile later.

4. Count

Base Pull Shark unlocks at 2 merged PRs. You listed 4 on creativeknightl0/Backend, so if those are truly Merged, you should qualify for at least the default badge (tiers go up at 16 / 128 / 1024).

5. Where to check

Your profile → Achievements section (or the achievements page linked from your profile).

If achievements are on and those PRs show as Merged, wait a bit and check again — Support’s FAQ is usually right that this is processing/visibility, not something you broke.

If this helps, please mark this as the accepted answer.
