    Reached Level 40 on Feb 2 , did most of my damage in the double xp event back in November when i did 6 million in 10/11 days and went from 9 to 15 million.
    When i reached level 39 there was even a huge level of satisfaction then knowing you were on last level but had done 75% already and the big goal was in sight.
    I was doing an hour at lunch and an hour in the evenings nearly every day but have largely cut out that evening walk/grind now , im definitely enjoying the game a bit more now too that the drive for XP is gone , although im still catching nearly everthing and doing evolves.

    I'm still 650k off level 39, though I'm making good time on it, having only hit 38 just before the new year.

    Well just hit 28 with 280 caught / 295 seen but I have some big breaks in there as my excuse for the delay... No gold badges yet but a few silver but travelling a whole lot has not helped with building up them. Will see how it goes; getting a new phone specifically to be able to Pokemon for more than an hour straight which will hopefully help but still no idea how I'll get beyond 30 at this rate :P

    Level 40 for about 2 weeks

    Save up your pidgeys for the double XP events; it looks like there's one every 2 months now.
    If you evolve 75 pidgeys with a lucky egg over the next 10 days it will get you halfway to your next level.

    I find having a power bank or two in my bag helps. I never travel without them these days.

    Close to Level 36 myself.

    added 200k there at lunch running 2 lucky eggs, doing some evolutions and hit 3 level 5s.


  • Registered Users Posts: 492 ✭✭CraigM84


    just hit level 38, 40 mins of evolving last night and 18 more there, only to be hit by 3M Xp for next :P Still got plenty of lucky eggs and nice run of mon to evolve though so lets see how it goes :)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 18,333 CMod ✭✭✭✭Nody


    Hit 29 today with 284 / 300 with two or three one or two catches away from evolving. A new phone (One Plus 5T) is a bloody miracle for pokemon hunting, must have walked around for 3h straight without using more than 40% of the battery and overall went from 107k to 302k exp today (must have caught over 200 pokemons total and around 60 pokemon stops in multiple walks). Not a big deal in the scheme of things to come but makes me happy :P

    Now up and onwards to 30 and beyond.

    And 30 achieved at 290/309. long shot dream that I'll hit 31 by Friday; it feels unlikely but I'll push for it depending if the weather allows it.

    Not sure if anyone is a interested, but I watched the Trainertips video last night of him hitting Lvl 40. At the end he went thru his stats and I found it very intriguing. I’m playing since day of launch, am just shy of Lvl 38. I don’t grind and wasn’t a big gym player before the rework.
    I was intrigued by how similar my stats are to Trainertips. But he has 2 levels on me.

    'EDIT: used phog's table to make it clearer ;EDIT

    Trainertips Mine
    Jogger 1,900 2292
    Pokestops 19,812 20234
    Catches 23,066 21390
    Evolutions 2,631 3155
    Eggs hatched 1,829 1330
    Gym battles 2,632 1747
    Gyms defended (hours) 1,623 7437
    Berries 1,964 4364
    Raids 126 28
    Legendary raids 308 77


    His pokedex is 364/366, mine is 354/366. (Both of us have yet to see Wynaut and Tropius)

    It really shows the XP advantage of using lucky eggs for more than just evolve runs and lots of raids. He has 230 more legendary raids than me, thats 2.3m base XP straight away.

    I’m going to a new US city tomorrow for work,planning on walking around with lucky eggs on for 2-3 hours. Level 38 will be achieved and hopefully a chunk into it too. I used all my coins on 2 of those boxes with the 20 Premium passes, they came with a lot of lucky eggs so Im going to be using to be using them more often if playing in a city centre for an hour or so.


  • Registered Users Posts: 981 ✭✭✭mighty magpie


    Yeah i'd like to see a stat on the number of lucky eggs used.

    It's 40,000 xp per level 5 raid this week with an egg on. A guy i work with done 10 level 5s yesterday on top of all his other activities and reached level 40 last night. Isn't afraid to throw £50 into the game when those boxes are on sale which means he usually has plenty of passes, eggs and incubators.

    You’ve certainly smashed the stats of a very popular YouTuber.
    Cash wise I would guess approx €90-100 for me. Bought 2500 coins twice, (€44) and 1200 coins prob 4-5 times. (€44-55)
    And a Go+, so add another €35!

    Edit; just did a lucky egg evolve, only 3500 from lvl 38. Will get that today.

    These are mine compared to TrnrTips. I currently have 520K into level 38. I reckon I've put about €250 into the game. I did buy a Go+ aswell and I think that is huge in relation to my stats for Pokemon caught and Pokestops spun.

    Thanks to phog for the table template :pac:

    Did not hit 31 on Friday (45k short) but hit it today at 297/320 (should have been 298 if I had not missed the Bass needed to be walked 20km as a buddy).

    Just an update. I did about 4-5 hours grinding Thursday/Friday, new stops with lucky egg on. Just under 400 new stops visited, started at 7419xp into level 38.
    Currently at 557934xp, also got candy for 2 new evolves (Milotic and Pelipper)

    Hit 32 to my surprise as I had not realized it was double exp on all pokemons during the community day. Got another 67k in on 32 which is well ahead of schedule. Up to 317/337 on the codex but most evolves will now require hundreds of km as buddies to unlock enough candy or getting a lucky string of eggs for more unlocks. Hopefully raiding will help fill in some other gaps however.

    Yup, those big names are bloody annoying. Dragonite was my last Gen 1 non-regional pokemon to get in the dex.
    Start walking Beldum or Bagon (if you have them) quick smart.
    My Larvitar got walked almost 250km before I got my first T-Tar, had only hatched 2 before I finally got it.
    Am currently walking Bagon, hatched 2 I think, need 60 more candy.
    Luckily got enough hatches and catches to get my Metagross 3 days ago.

    Those three are all done and working on the second Larvitar (got 120 candy but no good Larvitar to level up).

    The once to walk for me now are:
    Grimer (current one to get it done)
    Chikorita (2nd evolution done)
    Mareep (2nd evolution done)
    Phanpy
    Porygone (got the three chips already)
    Chansey
    Lotad
    Numel
    Seedot
    Ralts (2nd evolution done)
    Slakoth (got 47 candy so 2nd evolution technically done)
    Wailmer
    Wynaut
    Spoink
    Lileep
    Snowrunt

    And that excludes walking out candy to buff them which will come down the line as well. But hey; that's the name of the game so more eggs and more walking is the medicine of the day.

    Well I slacked off at around 650k due to business trips etc. but it's done; 33 hit, Mew captured and at 328/347 (which should be +1/+1 as I got an unevolved Slakoth only waiting for the final candy to push all the way through). Still have a few more mons to walk out with multiple with in 20 candy of evolving so a few more numbers to add to the book by 34 for sure.

    Ironically I managed to level up exactly one month later after some intensive raiding with eggs (40k per epic raids adds up quickly). Hit 34 and currently a bit over 10% in on it; Pokdex standing at 344/356 with a Latios caught (yay!). Only got two more 'mons to walk out from an evolution purpose at this stage but I expect both will be done before 35 and then it's basically regional/raids/EX raids/monthly legendary left (and I can't make it to Dortmund sadly as I've looked at all possible options so no go this year).

    And ding 36. The triple exp community day (turned into 6x due to constant use of eggs) was an amazing boost to get through the level. Up to 355 / 365 with a Regice caught and I'd guess at least one if not two more of 'em before 37 is done.

    Am finding it tough going recently. My PoGo activity has dropped a lot over the last 3 months. Seem to be stuck on lvl 38 forever, a local gym rival has recently hit 39, I was at 38 about a month before them!
    Lack of raid participation is my issue, have yet to do Regice and only did about 15 raids overall for Latias/Latios.
    300K to go until lvl 39.

    He can be a bit of a pain to catch; likes to jump high and punch quite a bit as a heads up. I'm 1 for 3 so far but the last one was without berries (because I could not be bothered).

    And ding 36. The triple exp community day (turned into 6x due to constant use of eggs) was an amazing boost to get through the level. Up to 355 / 365 with a Regice caught and I'd guess at least one if not two more of 'em before 37 is done.

    I hit level 39 last week and I'm over 10% of the way to 40 already, mostly because of the extra xp from the event. I wonder if they're ever going to add more levels?

    No indication that this rumored level cap increase will happen.
    Theory is that if they do add more levels that they will be a gate on level up beyond just XP. ie. Badge’s earned,

    Or they would even out the curve further; i.e. level 50 is let's say 6 million exp but level 40 is now only 1 million letting more people level up higher faster and feel good about it.

    Here we go again Ding 38! Dex up to 358/366. Have to be honest I got a bit tired of it all mid way through 37 as you're still far away from 39; got a feeling 38 might be a bit of burn out as well though I hope to push quite a few Ultra friendship bonuses through to help with it.

    Level 36 reached.
    Took almost 2 months since we were on holidays in Pokehell for much of it.
    If we hadn't been able to lucky egg 7 Ultra Friends in the last week, it would have taken us another month.
    Just over 1/3 of the way to Level 40.
    47,000 Pidgeys waiting to be evolved.

    I levelled up to 38 last night with a Mawile raid. (EDIT - took me almost 6 months to go from 37 to 38).

    Long long way to 39....

    My stats:

    Jogger: 2,947
    Pokestops: 20,775

    Legendary Raids: 0

    Levelled up to 39 at the weekend. So, while it took about 6 months to go from 37 to 38, only took just over 3 months to go from 38 to 39.

    Maybe I'm playing a bit more, have done a few more raids. Getting about 5 or 6 Ultra friends with a lucky egg on, and the other few with 50,000xp made a big difference though. Along with a couple of events too I suppose.

    My stats now:

    Jogger: 3,273
    Pokestops: 23,510
    Catches: 22,622

    I would fully concur. I found the grind from 37 up to 39 to be intolerable. (also a new PC game in April slowed me up a bit!!)
    But the new friendship system has really pumped up my XP, currently 1.5 million short of lvl 40. I got 500K from lucky egg "ultra friend" leveling a few days ago. I plan to do the same with another 10-12 next week.
    I think psychologically once I hit lvl 39 I realised I was in the home stretch.

    Dexwise I'm at 371/373 with a workmate going to trade me a Tropius.
    So Relicanth is my current white whale.

    About 650k short of level 40 now. Friendship has really slowed (I'm ultra with most of the reliables, but even some of the reliables have tired of the process and aren't opening gifts) and nobody wants Regi, so it might take a little more time than expected.

    And ding motherhumpa ding with dex at 361/369 (still need to add Celebei and the next month's daily quest evolution). 38 turned out to be another hell level as expected though ultra friend bonuses sure helped. Once I noticed I had about 300k left I decided to burn every single evolution I had saved for exp to get it over with... Now to finish the last 25% of total exp ever :P And unlike the previous 10 levels I don't think I'll do this one in under a month.

    It might go easier than you think. Work on lower level friends.
    Try a lucky egg for city journeys. I had 70 lucky eggs stashed from spending coins on boxes earlier in the year. Halfway through lvl39 I just started putting them on for my cross city commute.
    I’m 150K shy of lvl 40, expect it by the weekend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    I hit level 40 last week while doing a raid and going ultra with one person. Ended up 197 more items in my bag than allowed!

    Even though level 40 is fairly devalued now, I'm still quite chuffed and hope I gain something from it eventually, like the ability to submit pokestops. And i do like the lack of a progress bar!

    Well only in follow up I'm now halfway (well 2.46MM) in but I got a series of maximum friends coming up in about 20 to 25 days that should net me a .5 to 1 mil boost depending on if I can egg them or not. I'd guess beginning to mid October is when I'll do my final ding. Sadly I'll miss the community triple exp event due to real life which would have sped things up.
