Prepare for Pokémon GO’s new and rewarding leveling journey!
Trainers,
We’re excited to share more details about the new leveling journey update releasing on Wednesday, October 15, 2025. Get ready for a fun and engaging leveling experience with new rewards, new cosmetics, the new Daily Adventure Egg, and more. Let’s GO!!!
Trainer Level Cap Increased to 80!
The Trainer level cap will increase from level 50 to level 80.* The overall leveling system will be rebalanced and will allow Trainers to earn levels and rewards more frequently.
Trainers will discover new rewards added to level-up progression, like increased storage capacity for Pokémon, Items, Gifts, and Postcards. This includes new avatar items starting at level 25!
What Will Be Your New Trainer Level?
When the leveling update goes live, all the XP you’ve earned so far will be applied to the rebalanced leveling curve to determine your new Trainer level.*
- No players will drop in level. However, the XP needed for your next level may change.
- Trainers at level 23 or higher will gain at least one level
- Tasks for Level-Up Research for levels 41 to 50 will be removed. Level-Up Research tasks will only be associated with levels 71 to 80.
- Trainers will retroactively receive the new avatar and storage-related rewards for all previous levels.
*To learn how to view the total XP you’ve earned, see Pokémon GO Help Center article for Viewing your Trainer Profile & Progress.
Log In Daily for the New Daily Adventure Egg
