Pokemon GO is always adding new content and Pokemon Go Routes to improve the experience. Casual and competitive players alike can take part and get the required EXP to level up.
Once you reach Level 40, additional tasks need to be met to push through the Pokemon GO level requirements. All the way to the current level cap of 50.
Here’s how it all breaks down.
How to level up in Pokemon GO
Levelling up in Pokemon GO is quite simple, catching Pokemon and visiting Pokestops as part of general play will net you experience with each one. Challenging Gyms, Team Rocket members and doing raids will all net EXP after completion. Reaching friendship milestones via trading with other players will also net big chunks of EXP. Especially if done during a well timed Lucky Egg.
