How to Level Up Faster in Pokémon GO

- When you’re ready to do at least two Raids, use a Lucky Egg (this will give you double XP for 30 minutes)
- Defeat the Raid, catch the monster, slide the Gym, then do another Raid quickly
- Find and defeat more Raids (You can purchase Premium Raid passes in the Store for 100 PokéCoins)
- Swipe through as many Gyms as you can and stop as long as possible while the egg moves
- Evolve as many monsters as you want/desire before the egg’s 30-minute timer expires
- Repeat this process as many times as you can (Get more eggs and passes if you want)
Pop Lucky Eggs, do Legendary Raids, and massively evolve for the most XP
Basically, you’re trying your best while your lucky egg lasts 30 minutes. Remember that it’s important to be fully prepared before popping the egg. Make sure you have enough friends, contacts or strangers from Discord or Facebook to complete the Raids.
Tips for Getting More XP in Pokémon GO
Legendary Raids give 10,000 XP and with a lucky egg you get 20,000 XP. Even more so if you do these Raids and “level-up sprees” during the Double XP event. Pop an egg during an event and gain 40,000 XP per Raid and level up extremely fast.
If you only have time (or enough people) to do a few Raids, use the rest of your 30-minute timer to do whatever you want. professionals call a mass evolution. Essentially, choose a Pokémon like Pidgey that you see all over your city, or a cheap Pokémon where you’ll get tons of candy. Then evolve that monster over and over again. You can evolve a Pidgey twice and gain a lot of XP. Evolving a Pokémon for the first time grants even more XP.
So, around 20 Pidgeys, you’ll want to save up some Raid passes and wait for a double XP event or a free Saturday, then go wild.
