Catching Pokémon is fundamental to leveling up. Beyond collecting creatures, it yields candy and Stardust for powering them up. However, maximizing XP requires strategic catching:
XP Reward | Action |
---|---|
500 | First capture of a Pokémon |
1000 | Excellent throw |
100 | Every 100th capture of the same species |
300 | Using AR+ |
1500 | First capture of the Daily Pokémon Encounter |
1000 | Using a Master Ball |
6000 | Catching Pokémon daily for a week |
While initially challenging, mastering precise throws significantly accelerates leveling.

Ultra | 30 | 50000 |
