7. Pokéstops





Pokéballs : With a well stocked inventory of Pokéballs, you will be able to capture many Pokémon in given period of time without having to stop and search for Pokéstops (which may possibly be out of a lot of Pokéballs.

your way). You may think you have enough, but some Wild Pokémon encounters can use up





Eggs : As mentioned earlier in this guide, Eggs can be acquired from Pokéstops and will reward you with a lot of XP once hatched. The drop rate of Eggs at Pokéstops is relatively low, but the more Pokéstops you visit the better chance you have at acquiring Eggs.





Potions/Max Revives : Thinking of gaining XP through Gym battles? If so you will need a lot of Potions and a decent amount of Max Revives to keep the XP grind continuous. No matter how favorable a Gym matchup you find, your Pokémon will eventually take damage. Get well stocked on Potions/Revives to keep the battle streak going!



8. Maximize XP Gains

To truly maximize XP gains and Level Up quickly, you simply should focus on actions that reward XP, while simultaneously eliminating idle time and any actions that do not reward XP (Eg. Checking inventory/Pokémon List, shopping for Items).



While capturing Pokémon does reward the most experience overall, you should play with the optimal mix of actions listed in this guide. In my opinion, the very best means of gaining XP is as follows:



#1. Acquire as many Pokéballs as your inventory can hold. Upgrade your storage if you have enough





#2. Use Incense: This item will increase the spawn rate of Pokémon in the nearby area. Less traveling and more capturing leads to quicker XP gains.



#3. Use Lucky Egg: Using both Incense and Lucky Egg will allow you to capture more Pokémon per hour, while doubling the XP you gain for each capture!



This is just one strategy I use to Level Up quickly. I'm sure there are many other tactics that players use to get XP fast. Let us know what your best Leveling Up strategy is in the comments below.



9. Level Up Rewards





Here are some of the major reasons players should try and Level Up:



- Higher Level Trainers can capture higher

- When a player Levels Up, the max CP potential of captured Pokémon will increase.

- Leveling Up will offer rewards such as Great Balls and even Ultra Balls. Continue Leveling Up to earn even greater rewards.
