Pokémon Go Level 80 Revealed: Full XP Chart, Lucky Egg Strategy, and Where the Master Ball Shows Up

Pokémon Go players: Niantic expanded the level cap and reshuffled XP on Oct. 15, 2025, so many accounts jumped up and received extra rewards. This update raised the maximum Trainer Level to 80, redistributed XP, and added new level rewards — including cosmetics, storage, and extra Lucky Eggs — while keeping the game’s core XP mechanics the same.

How to gain XP in Pokémon Go
XP (experience points) is how you increase your Trainer Level. In short, nearly every action in the game grants XP: catching Pokémon, evolving them, hatching eggs, winning raids, and completing research tasks all award experience. Furthermore, PvP battles and trading also give XP, so the game rewards many different playstyles.
Lucky Egg basics
Lucky Eggs double all XP you earn for a limited time. Normally, a Lucky Egg lasts 30 minutes. You can obtain Lucky Eggs from the in-game shop, occasionally from event research or bundles, and sometimes as level-up rewards. In the shop, an individual Lucky Egg costs 80 PokéCoins, and a bundle of eight costs 500 PokéCoins.
Use Lucky Eggs strategically. For example, they double the XP gained from friendship level-ups: you earn 100,000 XP when you hit Ultra Friends and 200,000 XP when you hit Best Friends if a Lucky Egg is active. Therefore, combining Lucky Eggs with friend rank-ups or double-XP events yields the largest XP bursts.
Common XP sources (concrete values)
Here are typical XP amounts from common actions:
- Standard catch: XP varies (base catches and curve/throw bonuses add extra).
- Hatch an egg: significant XP depending on egg distance (2 km, 5 km, 7 km, 10 km, etc.).
- Raid victory: XP depends on raid tier; higher-tier raids give more.
- Friendship rank-up: 10,000 XP (Good), 50,000 XP (Great), 100,000 XP (Ultra), 200,000 XP (Best) — before or after doubling depending on Lucky Egg use.
Pokémon Go XP chart
The XP required per level increases progressively, with early levels needing a few thousand XP and later levels requiring millions. After the Oct. 15 update, the Trainer Level cap is now 80 and the XP to reach level 80 totals 16,000,000 XP for that last step.
Below are selected level milestones and their concrete rewards, pulled from the current chart so you can see what to expect as you climb.
Early game highlights (levels 2–20)
Levels 2–9 require only a few thousand XP each and grant basic items like Poké Balls and berries. Reach level 10 to unlock Gyms and raids; level 10 also grants a Lucky Egg, an incubator, and extra storage.
- Level 2 — 2,500 XP: 10 Poké Balls, 5 Nanab Berries.
- Level 5 — 4,000 XP: unlock Gyms and raids; item bundle includes Incense and potions.
- Level 10 — 9,000 XP: unlock Trading and Go Battle League; rewards include a Lucky Egg and Incubator.
- Level 20 — 35,000 XP: rewards include 25 Pokémon storage and another Lucky Egg.
Mid game highlights (levels 30–50)
Mid-tier levels require tens to hundreds of thousands of XP per level and start granting cosmetic items, extra storage, and Elite TMs at higher milestones.
- Level 30 — 135,000 XP: 50 bag storage, cosmetics, and two Lucky Eggs.
- Level 40 — cumulative 450,000 XP for that level step: unlocks Elite Fast TM, two Lucky Eggs, and more storage.
- Level 50 — 1,300,000 XP for that step: includes an Elite Charged TM, three Lucky Eggs, and significant storage increases.
High-end highlights (levels 60–80)
Late-game levels demand multiple millions of XP per step and add rarer rewards: Master Ball at level 70, more Lucky Eggs, Premium Battle Passes, and finally large storage boosts at level 80.
- Level 60 — 3,000,000 XP for that step: includes four Lucky Eggs, four Incense, four Incubators, and 50 Pokémon storage.
- Level 70 — 7,250,000 XP for that step: includes a Master Ball, 75 bag space, six Lucky Eggs, and three Super Incubators.
- Level 80 — 16,000,000 XP for that final step: includes 100 Pokémon storage, 100 bag storage, seven Lucky Eggs, seven Incense, and a Max Mushroom.
Finally, the chart is long and detailed, with every single level listing exact XP and rewards. Therefore, if you want to plan your Lucky Egg usage or target specific cosmetics and storage increases, check the level list and line up your biggest XP gains — such as friend rank-ups, multiple hatches, or raid chains — during a Lucky Egg for the best return on investment.
