'Pokémon Go' Level Guide: Pokéballs, Item Unlocks And XP Requirements For Levels Up To 30

If you’re looking to become a gym trainer and eventually catch some rare Pokémon, you’re going to need to put some effort into levelling up in Pokémon Go. Leveling up gives you access to new items, including stronger Pokéballs, healing items and berries to enable you to catch rare Pokémon with high CP and orange or red catch rings.

We’ve put together a chart to make it easy for you to see how much XP you’ll need to get to level up, and when access to certain items will be unlocked. We’ve also included information about the bonus items you’ll receive with each level gained. This information comes via redditor u/virodoran at The Silph Road subreddit.

XP Requirements, Unlocked Items and Rewards for Levels 1-30

At this point, it appears the level cap is 40 for Pokémon Go players, requiring a grand total of a whopping 20 million XP. At this point, we don’t know the item unlocks or bonuses for levels after 30, since none of the iDigitalTimes staff has advanced that far in the game. If you’ve already managed to unlock levels over 30, give us details about your rewards in the comments! We will update this story with further information about higher levels once it becomes available.
