How do I level up in Pokémon Go?
In Pokémon Go, you must earn experience to level up, with an ever-increasing amount of XP needed to reach the next milestone. Nearly everything you do in-game earns experience, such as catching Pokémon, hatching eggs, battling, increasing friendship levels, and evolving Pokémon. There are a few ways to increase the amount of experience as well.
The lucky egg item doubles the XP earned for 30 minutes of real-world time. If you close the app while a lucky egg is active, the egg continues to work and will run out. Pokémon Go occasionally rewards you with lucky eggs as you level up, but you can also purchase them from the Pokémon Go shop for 80 coins.
Meanwhile, Niantic occasionally hosts events that double experience, which you can combine with a lucky egg for four times experience boosts. It's best to save a couple of lucky eggs for these events, though don't hoard your eggs as they don't appear frequently.
In Pokémon Go, some of the easiest ways to amass XP include:
- Mass-evolving Pokémon, even your useless ones. Use up all that spare Pidgey candy!
- Legendary raids reward 10k XP for each successful battle, so a potential 40k XP with the maximum experience multipliers.
- Adding Pokémon Go friends, sending gifts to increase friendship levels, and becoming ultra friends with someone rewards you with 100k XP.
- Use items such as the Pokémon Go Plus to mass catch Pokémon
- Use the Pokémon Go Plus to mass catch, while mass evolving in-app. Alongside a lucky egg, this is a recipe for huge XP rewards.
Here are all of the actions that reward XP, alongside the exact payout.
| Task | Reward |
| Capture a Pokémon (basic) | 100 XP |
| Nice throw | 20 XP |
| Great throw | 100 XP |
| Excellent throw | 1,000 XP |
| Curveball throw | 20 XP |

| Hatch a 5km egg | 1,000 XP |
