FAQs

What is the quickest way to level up Pokémon Go? ›

One of the fastest ways to gain XP and level up in Pokémon Go is by Raiding — Legendary Raiding, specifically — a lot. You get 10,000 XP per Raid. That's 20,000 XP with a Lucky Egg and 40,000 XP with a double XP event and a Lucky Egg. Stock up on Premium Raid Passes.

Pidgey, Weedle and Caterpie require only 12 Candies to evolve. At the same time, these Pokemon are rather common. This leads to the strategy of "evolve batching". Trainers save up evolves to be done enmasse during the effect of double XP.

If you are not interested in walking physically, then you can spoof in Pokemon Go. It's an easy escape from playing this game by walking in reality, and you can progress faster than normal in this game. All you need to go it just install the spoofing tool, set your desired location, and start playing.

Chansey yield huge amounts of Exp. Points when you defeat them, and appear throughout Paldea, the region in which Scarlet and Violet take place. The downside is that they're rare: Though they can be found in many places, you probably won't find them often unless you go out of your way to do so.

You can use Lucky Eggs to double your XP. They normally last for 30 minutes. You can get Lucky Eggs from event research tasks from time to time, but you'll mainly have to buy them in the shop. One Lucky Egg costs 80 PokéCoins, and a set of eight costs 500 PokéCoins.

Swablu is a Flying-type Pokemon that evolves into Altaria (Dragon and Flying-type) after the little bird is stuffed with a massive amount of Candy — 400!

From Generation IV onwards, Pokémon hatch from Eggs at level 1 and some Pokémon are available in the wild at level 1 (however, starter Pokémon are still received at level 5).

Why are some Pokémon 400 Candies? ›

The 400s – Four Pokémon families actually require 400 candies to evolve. They are Magikarp, Swablu, Wailmer and Meltan. For the first two, the reason for this is probably just because their evolved forms, Gyarados and Alteria, are quite sought after Pokémon.

First, amass an army of Pidgeys, which will in turn earn you candy. Pidgeys are among the easiest creatures to capture, appearing in nearly every location, including whatever you designate as your home when you first boot the app up. At 12 pieces of candy, they have one of the cheapest evolution costs in Pokémon Go.

If a Rare Candy is used on a level 100 Pokémon that evolves by leveling up and currently meets its evolution requirements, it will evolve (without gaining a level). This applies to all Pokémon that evolve by leveling up, not just Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level.

Look for any location on the search bar, adjust the pin, and click on the “Move Here” feature. Just enter the number of times you wish to move and click on the “March” button to start the simulation. This will make Pokemon Go believe that you are walking between the two specific spots without actually moving.

So, while the waiting period for playing while traveling would depend on the distance you traveled, offenses like spoofing and account sharing would directly cause a ban of more than 120 minutes. Till now, the highest duration of the Pokémon GO soft ban is up to 12 hours.

How to level up from 1 to 40. Leveling from 1-40 is fairly simple: Use Lucky Eggs, catch Pokémon, compete in raids, send gifts to friends and battle. Basically anything you do in the game will reward you with XP, but there are some things that grant better XP than others, and for less effort.

Meltan. By far the easiest Pokemon to power up is, weirdly, a Mythical Pokemon. Seems weird, but Melmetal is the easiest Pokemon to get to level 50 by a mile, simply BECAUSE it is a mythical. Every Meltan you catch has a guaranteed chance to give you anywhere between 1 and 5 Meltan XL Candy.
