In Pokemon Go, leveling up is crucial for trainers who aspire to become the best. Apart from unlocking new in-game items, it also enhances the maximum Combat Power (CP) of their Pokemon, and improves the likelihood of capturing or hatching higher level Pokemon. This makes it essential for players to achieve a high level to conquer tougher gyms and raids. If you're looking to reach Level 50 in Pokemon Go, you'll need to earn a lot of XP. Luckily, there are several efficient ways to get XP quickly. Here's how to maximize your XP gains and level up fast.

• Use Lucky Eggs
• Take advantage of friendship levels
• Catch Pokemon
• Evolve Pokemon
• Participate in raids

↖ Use Lucky Eggs

The Lucky Egg is the most important item to have if you want to level up fast. When activated, it doubles all the XP you get for 30 minutes. You can buy a Lucky Egg from the shop for 80 coins, or 8 for 500 Pokecoins. Make sure to use a Lucky Egg when doing any of the following activities.

↖ Take advantage of friendship levels

Interacting with your friends can earn you a lot of bonus XP when you reach certain thresholds. Becoming a Good Friend will get you 3000 XP, a Great Friend will get you 10,000 XP, an Ultra Friend will get you 50,000 XP, and a Best Friend will get you 100,000 XP. Coordinate with your friends to hit these friendship bonuses and use a Lucky Egg to make it more efficient.

↖ Catch Pokemon

Catching Pokemon is another great way to get XP. Since the XP rebalance, Excellent Throws will get you 1000 XP. During a two times or three times catch XP event, you can get even more XP. For example, during the Badoof Breakout event, each Excellent Throw got you almost 10,000 XP. Try to aim for Excellent Throws and use a Lucky Egg during catch XP events.

↖ Evolve Pokemon

Evolving Pokemon is another great way to get XP, especially during two times evolve XP spotlight hours. Some Pokemon, such as Caterpie, Weedle, Pidgey, and Wurmple, take 12 Candies to evolve. During events where these Pokemon are spawning more often, it's a good strategy to stock up on their Candies for future two times evolve XP spotlight hours. There are also some Pokemon, such as Machoke and Kadabra, that can be evolved for free if you receive them from a trade.

↖ Participate in raids

Taking part in raid hours and raid trains can be a great way to get XP. Taking down a Tier 1 Raid will get you 3500 XP, a Tier 3 will get you 5000 XP, a Legendary/Mega/Primal raid will get you 10,000 XP, an Elite Raid Boss will get you 12,000 XP, and a Mega Legendary will get you 13,000 XP. During raid hours, you can get even more XP with the help of a Lucky Egg.

By following these tips and using Lucky Eggs efficiently, you'll be able to level up quickly and reach Level 50 in Pokemon Go.
