Easily reach level 50 in Pokémon GO

Reaching level 50 in Pokémon GO is the ultimate goal for all trainers. Here's our guide to help you on your journey.

Although Pokémon GO is a game that is accessible to everyone, reaching the maximum level is not for everyone. If you're determined to become the best trainer, it can be a long and difficult road. Fortunately, we're here to explain the process and give you some tips on how to reach your goal more easily.

Level up in Pokémon GO

To level up in Pokémon GO, all you need to do is accumulate experience points. Experience points can be earned in a variety of ways, from capturing and fighting trainers to evolving and exploring in the real world. However, the further you progress, the more experience points you will need to advance to the next level. For example, reaching level 40 in Pokémon GO is already proof of a high level of commitment to your trainer career.

From level 41 to 50 (max level)

Previously limited to level 40, players can now claim the title of Master and increase their level to level 50 in Pokémon GO. However, from level 41 onwards, you will need to complete specific missions, in addition to gaining the necessary experience, in order to advance to the next level.

The following table will help you to prepare for the tests that await you and anticipate the prerequisites that will be required of you.

The ultimate level 50 challenge in Pokémon GO

As you can see, getting from level 49 to level 50 in Pokémon GO requires successfully beating the Team GO Rocket Leaders with a team of Pokémon with no more than 2500 PCs. This is a challenging feat and we recommend that you use our guides to easily defeat Sierra, Arlo and Cliff.

In the meantime, you can also prepare for the battles by participating in the GO Battle League.

For a slightly more personal view, here is the team we used and which we consider the most effective.

Lucario

Machamp

Giratina

Note: Giratina is only capturable during rare events, but by the time you reach level 49 you'll probably have managed to get your hands on it or find someone to trade it to.

Earn XP quickly in Pokémon GO

Although almost every action earns you XPin Pokémon GO, there are some tricks that can greatly increase your XP gain and the rate at which you level up.

The Lucky Egg is the most valuable item in this quest due to its ability to double all your experience points for 30 minutes.

Participating in a Legendary Raid is currently the activity that gives the most experience points.

So, the first strategy will be to use your lucky eggs wisely before a session of multiple Legendary Raids. If you can get through the raids quickly enough, you'll rack up an incredible point total.

For an even more extreme result, you can provide Pokémon to be changed during each moment of waiting.

Finally, the featured Pokémon hours that take place every Tuesday as well as Community Day and other events are often accompanied by bonuses such as XP multiplication linked to a specific mechanic such as capture and cumulative with lucky eggs.

The secret to gaining a lot of XP is to accumulate several gamemechanics like this American player who reached a result of 10 million experience points in only 7 hours of play.

So there you have it, you've got all the basics for this long and exciting journey and hope to one day reach level 50 in Pokémon GO. Remember to follow our news and guides to keep up to date with new tips and important events. And our last piece of advice will be: Be patient and, above all, have fun!
