How to level up quickly
For starters, now is a great time to level up the game quickly, as a new event kicks off on November 18 at 13 p.m. PT, offering extra XP (up to double) for almost whatever you do. XP is earned in many ways when playing Pokémon GO, but some are much better than others. Catching and evolving Pokémon, hatching eggs, and earning a new Pokédex entry are all stepped up from later in the day until the end of the year, so just playing the game more during this time will be d 'a great help.
Catching Pokémon in the last few months will be a great way to quickly earn a lot of XP, especially since they are likely to offer double the usual amount. If you have a Pokémon GO Plus or Poké Ball Plus device, try to keep it active and connected as much as you can (and use a Lucky Egg if you have more). They will also run Poké Stops for you, which will earn you some XP. When you're trying to reach a level as high as 40, every little bit helps. If you can safely visit high traffic areas, especially those you have never been to in order to benefit from the new Poké Stop bonus, you can quickly rack up a lot of experience.
Besides bonuses, there are plenty of ways to quickly earn tons of XP. The best known is the method of mass evolution. This is where you save cheap evolutions for easy-to-catch Pokémon, such as Pidgey, Rattata, Caterpie, and Weedle, or their later generation equivalents. Stock up on enough so that it takes you about 30 minutes to go through them, use a lucky egg, and try to rush as much as possible. Entering "evolve" in the search box on your Pokemon screen will show you all of the ones that are able to evolve, shortening the time it takes to sort them all.
One thing that you will definitely want to do is keep an eye on your friendship level. Achieving best friend status earns you 100 XP (Ultra Friend earns 000). If you can watch this and time it correctly, you need to use a Lucky Egg before you complete the last gift transaction or any other interaction so that it doubles. Then just finish the egg with a few morphs. During the 50 Days of Friendship event, these levels will increase faster than usual, providing plenty of ways to get XP.
Raids are also a source of tons of EXP (especially during the 12 Days of Friendship event). Using a Lucky Egg before one of these will give you a lot of extra experience, especially if you can chain raids together, like during a raid hour or other event. Legendary raids offer the most, so try to focus on them or other high-level opponents. Attack as many as you can, making sure to check out our counter guides if you need help, and you should earn plenty of XP. In short, the way to level up quickly is to focus on completing all the tasks you can. Catching, evolving, fighting, and winning raids are the best options. Top them off with Lucky Eggs for even bigger bonuses than normal. But how much do you need to reach level 40?
How to reach level 40
Each new level in Pokémon GO requires a lot of extra EXP to level up. It's not a linear progression, so hitting level 39 might seem close, but you still have a long way to go. In total, you will need 20 million XP to reach level 40 in the game. The last step is to gain 5 million experience after reaching level 39, which only required 3 million XP. for its level above 15 million. So a quarter of all the XP you need in the game comes from level 39-40. XP increases at the end of this year will be a big help here, making you feel less like to be a steep and more stable climb. progress, but you still have your work to do, depending on where you are now. Here are the last 5 levels and how much XP they need ...
Level 36 - Earn 1,5 million EXP
XP total – 7,5 millions
Level 37 - Earn 2 million EXP
XP total – 9,5 millions
Level 38 - Earn 2,5 million EXP
XP total – 12 millions
Level 39 - 3 million EXP
XP total – 15 millions
Level 40 - 5 million EXP
XP total – 20 millions
Hopefully this explains how to level up quickly and reach level 40 in Pokémon GO.
