For long-time players of Pokémon Go, level 50 has been nothing more than a pipedream for years. While it may not sound like a lot, the current level cap sits at level 40, and only an elite and dedicated subsection of players ever reach that cap. After that, they can continue earning experience and catching Pokémon, but leveling just stops.
It’s much like training your Pikachu up to level 100 in the main series games. But in Pokémon Go, level 50 is the new limit. It would be like Pokémon Sword and Shield turning around and saying that you can now train your lovely Pikachu up to level 125. Put simply: it’s game-changing. Everything will change, from Go Battle League metas to the best raid counters.
However, as well as just grinding out experience points – which is easier than ever to do now – trainers will have to complete challenges in order to level up from level 40 onwards. We already have a good idea of what those challenges will be, but we’ll also keep this page updated once we know the specifics.
