Level 80 instead of 50: These are the changes in the level system
What changes in the level system? The maximum level is raised from 50 to 80. The necessary experience points to reach the new maximum as well as the previous levels will also be adjusted.
Furthermore, the tasks you previously had to complete from level 41 to 50 to level up will be eliminated. Instead, after the update, there will be new tasks that you must complete from level 71 to 80 to reach a new level. Of course, you will still need the appropriate experience points.
How many experience points do I need for level 80? To reach the current maximum level 50, you needed 176,500,000 experience points. To reach the new maximum level 80 after the update, you will need 203,353,000 experience points.
What level do I have after the update? According to the blog post from pokemongo.com, with the update, all trainers who are level 23 or higher will increase by at least one level. Below you can see some important levels and the necessary experience points to reach each stage:
- Level 10: 48,000 experience points
- Level 20: 258,000 experience points
- Level 30: 1,083,000 experience points
- Level 40: 3,953,000 experience points
- Level 50: 12,753,000 experience points
- Level 60: 34,353,000 experience points
- Level 70: 85,853,000 experience points
- Level 80: 203,353,000 experience points
When you open the game, you can click on your avatar’s image on the left. Here you will find, among other things, a display for your “total XP”. There you can see how many experience points you have collected so far in Pokémon GO and get a rough idea of which new level range you will fall into.
Will Pokémon also get a new maximum level? No. Pokémon will continue to have a maximum level of 50. You will still need regular candies up to level 40 and XL candies to increase from level 40 to 50.
What tasks are there from level 70 to 80? Currently, there is no official information about which tasks await you from level 70 to level 80. However, there are unofficial details from data mining on Reddit.
These tasks include collecting ever more platinum medals, defeating rockets, winning in the battle league, and many other tasks.

What is the Adventure Egg? With the update, a new egg is introduced: the Adventure Egg. You will receive this automatically as soon as you log in to the game for the first time on a day. The egg will be automatically placed in its own incubator and requires 1 km to hatch.
The daily Adventure Egg does not take up space in your egg bag. Additionally, you can only possess and hatch 1 Adventure Egg at a time. Once you have hatched it, you will receive not only a Pokémon but also 10,000 experience points.
Which Pokémon you can receive here is not yet known.
What rewards are there when leveling up? As previously announced, you will receive upgrades for your storage through different levels. These include the limit for Pokémon, items, postcards, and even gifts. You will also receive these retroactively.
When you will receive these and how many increases there are is not yet officially known. However, there was recently a leak that revealed unofficial details about it.
Furthermore, there are some new avatar rewards that you receive by reaching certain levels. These include the following items:
- Level 25: Pokéball cap
- Level 30: Pokéball shoes
- Level 35: Pokéball jacket
- Level 40: Greatball cap
- Level 45: Greatball shoes
- Level 50: Greatball jacket
- Level 55: Ultraball cap
- Level 60: Ultraball shoes
- Level 65: Ultraball jacket
- Level 71: Level 71 shoes
- Level 73: Level 73 sunglasses
- Level 75: Level 75 pants
- Level 77: Level 77 pose
- Level 79: Level 79 hairstyle (short) and Level 79 hairstyle (long)

The previous avatar items that you could obtain while leveling up will no longer be available after the update. If you already have them, you will keep them.
What new bonus is there? Once you reach level 70, you will benefit from a new bonus after the update. If you are “Best Friends” with another trainer in the game, your chances of becoming Lucky Friends and getting a Lucky Trade will increase.
