In Pokémon GO, it is important for many players to have a high level. But one trainer set himself a very special challenge and thereby reached a special milestone. We at MeinMMO will show you what he did.
What levels are we talking about? In addition to friends and buddy Pokémon, not only can the individual monsters increase in level, but also the trainers themselves. This is especially important at the beginning, as it also increases the level of your monsters and allows you to further power them up.
Since the end of 2020, you have been able to reach a maximum of level 50. But the way there is not easy, because you not only need a lot of XP, but from level 40 you also have to solve various tasks. A trainer has now set himself a very special challenge for promotion. We’ll show you what it was.
Trainer sets himself a special challenge
What did the coach do? As Reddit user JuanG12 shows in his post, he has reached a very special milestone. So he shows a picture of his leveling up to level 44, with a striking statistic in which all the points listed are zeroed.
But this is by no means a mistake, because according to his own statement, JuanG12 actually reached the step from level 43 to level 44 without catching any Pokémon, completing raids or visiting PokéStops.
How did he reach this milestone?
Existing EP: Many trainers also asked themselves in the comments how one could do something like that. To get from level 43 to 44, you have to collect 11 million XP and, on top of that, win 30 trainer battles in the Super, Hyper and Master Leagues and play 20 times in the GO Battle League.
For many, it is essential to catch monsters or rotate Pokéstops in order to collect the required XP. And JuanG12 probably couldn’t do without it completely either. He explains in the comments that he was stuck at level 41 for a long time and therefore collected enough XP there to level up to level 44.
After he managed to climb from level 42 to 43 within a few days, he set himself his own challenge for the next level. He wanted to try and do it without catching monsters, turning PokéStops, or completing raids.
GO Battle League Challenge: Since he had already collected all the XP for level 44, all he had to do was fight in the GO Battle League. Even though he wasn’t primarily confronted with catching, it was still a bit of a challenge. He wasn’t allowed to get any Pokémon from the reward, which meant he wasn’t allowed to win more than 2 battles per battle set.
And that turned out to be harder than expected, as he reveals in a comment (via reddit.com): However, I tanked most of the sets by fighting with Pokémon with low WP. Originally I was going to win 2 and lose 3, but then I ran into someone who I assumed was also tanking and thought I was finished. Luckily he attacked and won. After that I didn’t want to risk it anymore.
In order not to take any risks in the numerous fights, he fought his remaining fights against a friend who let him win. This way he could make sure that he didn’t actually have to catch any monsters. These are not included in the rewards for trainer battles with friends.
Can you do this challenge in all levels?
This is possible in these levels: If you want to try out this challenge yourself, you should pay attention to the appropriate level. While you only need experience points to level up for levels 0 to 40, from level 40 you also have to solve various tasks.
The advancements from level 43 to 44, level 47 to 48 and level 48 to 49 are particularly suitable. With these you don’t have to rely on Pokémon, raids or PokéStops to solve them.
Here’s how you can easily collect XP: If you also want to collect XP without catching monsters, playing raids or doing stops, then we recommend using the gift function from your friends.
To do this, you should collect several of them before leveling up as friends and then open their packages one after the other in combination with a lucky egg. Especially in the current season of plenty of adventure, you can collect a lot of experience points with such a climb. You can read how you do this in the following post:
