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.
