Once you've caught one or two of any given Pokemon the temptation is obviously to not catch any more of them. Pokemon Go: Using Pidgey, Weedle, and other low-tier Pokemon to level up fast The criteria for how the game registers a Curveball or a Nice, Great or Excellent Pokeball throw is quite specific, and the Pokestop method is obviously hugely dependent on their placement where you live (I have a great place to 'run laps' near my house, but not everyone is so lucky) - and so these methods aren't actually isn't anywhere near the best way to earn experience - but instead, let's talk about Pidgey and Rattata. Beat a Pokemon in training at a Gym - 50 XP.Beating a Pokemon Trainer at a Gym - 150 XP.Battling a Pokemon Trainer at a Gym - 100 XP.Pokemon caught on the first try - 50 XP.Pokemon caught with an Excellent Throw - 100 XP.Pokemon caught with a Great Throw - 50 XP.Pokemon caught with a Curveball - 10 XP.Here's a table of what each act in Pokemon Go gets you experience-wise: If you can find an area where several Pokestops are stacked up together you can easily walk a lap of the Pokestops between their cool-downs, earning a fair chunk of experience in the process. Pokestop locations can be checked into again after a short cool-down period, making it an easily repeatable 100 XP task. The easiest repeatable experience gain comes in the form of checking in at a Pokestop. These experience bonuses are relatively minor - you'll get 10 extra XP for throwing a curve ball or nailing a 'Nice' throw, while a 'Great' or 'Excellent' throw earns a little more. There's also experience bonuses for getting fancy when you throw a Pokeball to catch a Pokemon - you can get a little extra experience for nailing a throw or putting some curve on a throw. Pokemon Go: Trainer XP rewards in detail - what gives the biggest gains?Įvery major action in Pokemon Go nets you a certain amount of experience, with by far the most lucrative action being to catch a Pokemon of a kind you've never caught before.

On top of all that, higher level players will get access to more in-game equipment with which to battle and train Pokemon - basically, player level is used as a gatekeeper to much of Pokemon Go's content.Īs with any RPG sometimes the level grind can be a little intense - and that's where we come in. Location is important, but a level 3 player is likely to encounter Pokemon with CP (Combat Point) levels of 10 or so, while a level 10 player in the same area will encounter the exact same Pokemon with CP levels in the hundreds - so trainer level is important. When you level up Pokemon in your possession have a chance to get boosted along with you, and higher level trainers will encounter different Pokemon in the wild. Your trainer level is vital for catching better Pokemon and making those you have more powerful. Significantly different for Pokemon Go is the nature of leveling up rather than strictly gaining experience for your Pokemon, XP/EXP is mainly based around the player, represented in a trainer level that grows across the board as you perform in-game tasks. Pokemon Go might be a 'slimmed down' version of the Pokemon experience, but when push comes to shove it is still a Pokemon game, and that means there's a fair slice of leveling up and other RPG-style character progression built into the way the game advances.
