Catching Pokémon is fundamental to leveling up. Beyond adding creatures to your collection, it yields resources for powering them up. However, certain actions grant bonus XP:
XP Awarded | Action |
---|---|
500 | First capture of a Pokémon |
1000 | Excellent throw |
100 | Every 100th capture of the same species |
300 | Using AR+ |
1500 | First capture of the Daily Pokémon |
1000 | Using a Master Ball |
6000 | Catching Pokémon daily for a week straight |
Mastering precise throws for bonus XP takes practice but significantly accelerates leveling.

---|---|---|
Good | 1 | 3000 |
Great | 7 | 10000 |
Ultra | 30 | 50000 |
Best | 90 | 100000 |
