Catching Pokémon

Catching Pokémon is the most straightforward way to gain XP, adding creatures to your collection and providing resources like candy and Stardust. However, certain actions yield bonus XP:

Mastering precise throws for bonus XP takes practice, but significantly speeds up leveling.

Friendship XP

Building and maintaining friendships provides substantial XP. Exchange gifts, raid together, and trade Pokémon to boost your XP.

At higher levels, friendships become a crucial XP source. Joining online communities dedicated to friendship leveling can significantly accelerate progress.

Incubator XP

Hatching eggs grants XP based on egg type. More steps equal more XP.

Multiple incubators maximize efficiency. Adventure Sync allows egg hatching while the app is closed.

Raid XP

Raids, especially with teams, offer significant XP gains. Higher-level raids yield greater rewards.

Raid Passes are required. A free pass is available daily; premium passes can be purchased.

Max Battle XP

Gigantamax and Dynamax Pokémon battles at Power Spots provide substantial XP rewards.

Enhancing Dynamax Pokémon abilities grants additional XP (4000/6000/8000 per level).

Fast Leveling Recommendations

Lucky Eggs double XP for 30 minutes. Combine with other methods for maximum effect. Take advantage of events like Community Day and Spotlight Hour for bonus XP.

Event bonuses and Lucky Eggs stack. Mass evolution during these periods is highly effective.

Perfect Throws

Perfect throws, while challenging, yield substantial XP when combined with other boosts. Highly skilled players can achieve impressive XP gains.
