Pokemon GO: Level Pokemon - Here's how

In previous editions, you had to level your Pokémon through battles. In this article we reveal how the level system works in Pokémon GO and how you reinforce your captured Pokémon.

Everything new in Pokémon GO: How to level Pokémon

In Pokémon GO, nothing stays the same. The well-known level system for every single Pokémon has also disappeared.

• The strength of your Pokémon is no longer specified via the level, but the competition points (WP). You can no longer level your pocket monsters through arena battles.
• Instead, you only level your trainer in Pokémon GO. The higher this level, the stronger Pokémon you will encounter on the street. You can then further strengthen them through development. We will tell you in another article how you can increase your trainer level particularly quickly.
• If you want to fight strong opponents with your already caught Pokémon, you are also not completely helpless in Pokémon GO. With stardust and candy, you can increase the competition points of each Pokémon and make it stronger.
• To do this, tap the Poké Ball at the bottom of the screen in Pokémon GO and then tap "Pokémon". Find the pocket monster you want to reinforce and tap the "Power Up" button.

In further Pokémon tips, we explain how you can quickly get stardust and receive lots of candies for developments.
